tablet that Police and Fire Commits
sioners Al Latham. Louis T. Ward and
W. F. Chipman caused TO be cast to
their memory and fastened to a wall
of the new fire engine house in Webb
avenue is missing.
Councilman John Fl. Walker. who
was opposed to the tablet being placed
ON the frehouse, urged the city coun-
ell some months ago To compel the re-
mOval of the bronze plate. Walker con-
tended that the police and fire COM
missiOners had exceeded their powers
No action was taken by the council
but it is suspected that the police and
fire commissioners took the hint and
that the tablet was removed with their
knowledge.

CRAPH|C'S LONDON LETTER
By Herbert Temple NSpeclal Cable From International Vavs exn.:o.>

"aelher Lord Crewe will introduce a
 uellnite project or whether tho Gov
 elHihent IS inclined to put forward a much more modest scheme, chiefly
 "lth a view to soliciting opinions and
 suggestions rather than for the p,1r- pose of initiating legislation. is not yet decided.
 WaVrinsky is Coming.
 one of the most interesting speak CTS who took part in the recent meet inS or the United Kingdom Alliance III Manchester is Herr Edward Way flnsky, who was invited to sneak of Ffohlbltion in Sweden and who is &Deat 10 leave for the United States, where he will speak on the same sub Ject Ill almost every city from Main 10 California. Herr Wavrinsky, thougb or Polish descent, is a native of SWe- gen. AS an army lieutenant, he w..s espatched to spend some months in studying American military methods C. training at Washington where he eahe into association with the fam ous General Grant. There he devel- eped an intense desire to promote peace, which so grew upon him as to llnrel him to throw up his commas slon in the army and work for those things which make for peace. AS an advocate of the extension of the franchise and of stfong temperance legislation, he subsequently, won one of the seats in Parliament for tae Swedish capital.
 The Swedish government itself, far rom resenting his resignation If n ilitary service, has appointed hin as officials delegate to the Internat- Iona! Peace Congress, and has also made him one of the State Auditors U the Treasury in which capacity i:e served three years term and dis covered and exposed and enormous misappropriation of military funds Herr Wavrinsky was an early adher- ent of Good Templary which has about 100000 members in Sweden, where they have built about 300 good Templar Halls With cafes and re- creation halls attached-and have $ Good Templars in Parliament. He was Grand Chief Templar of Sweden several years and was elected Inter- national Chief Templar at Belfast in 1905 and at Washington, United States, in 1908.

ing On; of continuous persistency It is the fellow who does a little better this term than he did last; who is aways trying to better his best. It is the man who has the staying power which enables him to come up on the last heat. The star graduate is often the last man of his class who would have been selected for class honors during his freshman year.
 I have in mind young man who was regarded as such a genius and who was so very much more brilliant than any one else ill his class during his freshman year that if a prediction vote had been taken as to what man would be likely to lead his class he would probably have been a unani- mous choice, but. as a matter of fact, he did not take single class honor. He was like meteor flashed up in the clouds, eclipsing for time. all other stars, but he lacked the gift of COIlIlduley. IlC lhooSoh eAiut HC "eto oO far ahead of his class that he did nc. need to study much that he could get off and hate good t.me when ever he felt like it; could stay away from lectures and recitations great deal Of the time, and still pass bril- liant exam nations. He very soon found, however, that the tortoises ill his class were gaining On the hars. The result was that many of the Easn whom he looked down upon with dis dain as Freshmen were away ahead cl him on graduation, in fact, he came very near losing his dinlc.na.
 It $ the man who has the staying power, tho pluck, 'persistency and grit which never lets go. which keeps etc . nally at it, who wins in the end. As rule, meteoric men have very brie' and disappointing careers.
 Do not be discouraged because taere are other men around you so much more brilliant than yourself Br:llian. cy has not accomplished half as much in the world as mediocre ability wit. staying power, persistency, stick-to-it' ivness.

will be no Democratic. landslide

Will DC no DemOCTduC. ldHQ-oIlue.
 The explanation ofFthis rather un- exp cted result appears to be that tho s1essive wing of the Republi- can party has come into power at the primaries in very large proportion Of the Republican districts, while in many of the districts where the stand pat element retains control of the Re- publican machine, the normal Repub- l:can plural ties are so large that the stand-pat candidates are likely to sue ceed although by greatly reduced ma jorities. Both wings of the party are i1ow diligently engaged in their his toric occupation of 'burying the hatchet.'
 ''In other word, the heretofore gen. orally expected Democratic success in the closer q 'stricts of the country has been put in jeopardy by tho nomina- tion of more e. less popular Insurgent Republican candidates, and informa- tion . received by us indicates, that there will be lite Republican bolting in such districts
