One Mark of Proqress.

Jersey City is celebrating the fiftieth
anniversary of the installation of street
cars. On the day in July. 1860. when
the Jersey City and Bergen Horse
Railroad. as it was called. first began
operation on fifteen minute schedule.
the enormous number of 5000 passen-
gers was carried. The cars were of
what was known as the omnibus type,
very different from the steel vehicles
of the present. They were drawn by
one horse, weighed $500 pounds and
cost $500 each. Sometimes the passen-
gers were called upon to help push the
cars up grade when the motive power
became unequal to the task. These
first cars were like stage coaches on
rails. The drivers seat was on top in
front and by means of strap he
opened and shut the door in the rear
of the car. The door was reached by
two or three steps. The cars were on
a fifth wheel and when they reached
the end of a line or met another car
coming in the opposite direction be-
tween switches the driver swung the
shafts around to the. tail end of the
car and whipped up his horse the 9TH
err way.
To show the progress in fifty years
we might compare the ingenious pay
as-you-enter cars that dispense with
the service of conductor. which nave
been adopted in the city of Muskogee,
Oklahoma. where the red man held
sway half a century ago. These cars
have non vestbuled platforms at both
ends. with folding gates on the steps
on both sides. but the rear platform
gates are always closed and locked and
passengers must enter and leave by
the front platform. BY this arrange
ment conductor has become unnec<
essary. as the passengers are under the
ewes of the motorman both in entering
and leaving the car.
And some of us, who even yet do not
aspire to the bald-headed row. can re-
member the straw in the bottom OF the

Our FelIow-Citizen.

All Augusta people and Republicans
of Maine will read with interest and
appreciation this testimonial by a
Portland paper to the merit of one of
Augustus leading and most public
spirited citizens. Says the Portland
Express editorially:
The reelection of Charles S. HIGH
born of Augusta as treasurer of the
Republican State Committee gives
great satisfaction. He is one OF the
most, competent men who ever has
filled that important position. He is
painstaking in all of his work and is
ever loyal to the party and its candi-
dates. Mr.. Hichborn takes a very
optimistic view of the present cam
paign and declares that the party was
never better united. He thinks the
grand convention held in Augusta is
sufficient evidence of that. but in ad-
dition he is receiving the most flat
tering reports from all sections of the
State. He has no doubt of the re-
election of Gov. Fernald. and that the
four Congressional districts will be
carried by larger majorities than in
1908. The other members of the
State committee thoroughly appreciate
the hard work which is done by
Treasurer Hichborn.
Outside of party politics Mr.. HIGH
born's services as chairman Of the
Capitol Commission in the rebuilding
of Names beautiful State House, his
work in providing Augusta with its
leading hotel and in a hundred other
enterprises of a public and beneficial
character Mr.. Hichborn merits the
gratitude of this city and State-anC
as the Express editorial shows it is
gladly given.
Proverbially the public. as well a
republic, lacks in gratitude. which is
not wise policy for the people. but il
this case Mr. Hichborn's public efforts
are appreciated and for them as wei
for his genial personality he is es-
teemed.

David with his harp, as his portrait
is painted by Bishop Quayle, is a most
beautiful figure of literature and bibl-
cal history. He kneels to the God of
his fathers. Are not the American
people and the English people and the
civilized people of the whole world too
prone in the present age to forget to
kneel to the God of their fathers? Or.
if they remember. it is mostly when
trouble comes. David knelt to the
God of his fathers and strummed upon
his harp and sang out of the sheer
joy of living. full of the wild wonder
of life. There is so much joy just to
be here. The flowers are blooming,
the grass is green the deep skies are
blue. fleecy are the clouds. bright is
the sun. the lambs skip. the boys
wrestle, the girls giggle. All because
of the pure joy of living.
We are here. Far better We're more
of us filled with this joy of life
Though we are not born with silver
spoon we are born with mouth. How
much better to be born without
spoon than born without a mouth,

fail to listen to the human heart
throbs playing the drum beat for the
recession Of life. We occasionally
notice the beauties of women but fail
to observe the God-given graces in
man. but David was full of the vigor
of youth and the joy of life.
Proud was he to have medicined the
king. so that from couch of ILL
health and uselessness he went to the
door of his tent and shouted to his
warriors. IT'S l. King Saul" 1t was
David who wrought the miracle.
1t should be with the spirit OF

that we trip and gallop and walk
