REGULATING MAYOR FITZGERALD

REGULATING HAH0R FITZGERALD.
Boston has had its first experience of
state regulation Of higher city appoint
ments. As result of it Mayor Fitzgef-
aid is appealing TO the Legislature to
take away from the State Civil Service
Commission its authority 10 reject the
heads OF city departments named by
hin Whether or not there is an effec-
tive public sentiment against what the
Civil Service Commission has done it is
impossible 10 sayes but the Mayor has
sought very shrewdly 10 put this form of
state supervision in as ebnokious a light
a. possible.
First he submitted To the commission
number of typical Fitzgerald ap-
pointees. several Of them of. the very
sort that had helped 10 make lbs pre-
vious administration eXtravasant aud in
efficient. In due time the commission
declined TO approve about half the ap-
pointees Then he sent in the maine of
ex- Mayor Hibbard for City Collector. If
The appointment of Mr.. Hubbard looked
ike the payment Of a political debt of a
rather discreditable nature his rejection
WAS equally open 10 the construction of
being Tie punishment of Mr.. HibbaTd for
running independently and helping TO
eject Fitzgerald. The commission reject
81 him, and the charge that il was aetu-
ated by political considerations was at
once raised. This bringing of the com
mission into politics would seem 10 be

THE JUNIOR CITIZENS.
Editor Of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: 1t was with much qualification that
I perused yeur editorial in the issue of the
9Th inst, entitled Practical Civies, and
with your kind permission would venture
to make few remarks thereon.
| am chairman of the committee on the
state of the American Union of a Junior
civic Club, situated in this city, whose OBJ
jeets are Gar the study of civil government
In the United States and (bl the active
participation in the civic, social and eco
nemic questions which may from time to
time arise. in that way intelligently pre-
pairing its members for the duties and re-
sponsiblities of citizenship.
l agree with you in s'eur statement that
never before in the history of the world
was anything like as much attention paid
to the study of what we may generally
term civics as there is now,' and I think
that the reason for this attention is the
appreciation by citizens of their need for
further enlightenment on their country s
laws, not only in professional life but in
the ordinary business and everyday life,
and l feel that more stress should he laid
upon the study of evies by junior citizens.
Ex-President Roosevelt in his Paris adj
dress upon citizenship extended To us all
advice thereon which should be needed by
adults as well as By the juniors.
1t is trite saying that the intelligence
of a community and the good il extends
ia the country at large rest solely upon the
individual worth of its residents. and I am
sure that the logic of knowing the why's
and the wherefeFes OF the various laws OF
our country. be they simple or complex, is
quite plain.
/, as constant reader of your paper
wish TO requeat-and / am most positive
that many of your readers join with me
that you encourage junior citizens in the
organization of clubs with an object in
view such as / have hereinbefore set FORTH
so that the percentage of good, intelligent
citizens of our great nation may be con-
tinually raised 10 a higher level.

may be interesting to keep lookout for
shooting stars" fer several nights to
come.
Among those who regard an auroral
exhibition as not unlikely is Professor
David +. Todd. who has travelled all
over the globe 10 observe solar eclipses.
Now. aureras are an accompaniment of
disturbances of tue earth's magnetism,
and both of them usually occur when
there are big spots on the sun. As there
is believed 10 be small chance that the
comet will temporarily interfere with
another phenomenon. the microscopic
daily swing Of magnets in magnetic
observatory, the traces made by self-re-
cording instruments will be examined a
few days hence to see whether they diff
fer at all from those left before and after
the transit of the comet. About even
this trifiing influence, though, there
seems to be much uncertainty. and as
tho northern lights" are apparently due
To something besides the interpesition of
an obstacle between the sun and earth
no one predicts the phenomenon with
confidence.
Professor Edward c. Pickering, the
veteran director of the Harvard observa
tory. whose views are held in the highest
esteem by most of his professional breth-
rem. doubts whether any effect will be
noticed at ALL Professor s. a. Mitchell,
OF Columbia University. and other we'll
known astronomers. have expressed
themselves in similar language. Though
they give no reason for this conservative
verdict, they doubtless remember that
twice in the last century the earth
passed through a comets tail without
the slightest harm.
On enc Of these occasions, in 1861,
shortly after sunset the appendage was
seen to reach upward from the western
horizon to or past the zenith. tele-
scope may have been needed to reveal
the tail in it's full proportions. A repeti-
ton Of the occurrence or some other un-
foreseen exhibition is possible this year.
AS the head of the comet will be on the
other side of the globe at midnight, the
time of the transit. there is little assur-
ance that anything wonderful will be
witnessed in America, but no one seems
to be in position to say that the ex-
perienee is out of the question.

1.-THE CANADA OF THE SOUTH.


1.-THE CANADA OF THE SOUIH.
Those too numerous persons who az
feet a nil admirari attitude toward Latlh
America will do well TO take noflce OF
the Significance of brief and matter-of-
fact statement in the message Win
which the other day President Aleoffa
opened the session of the Argentine Con-
sress. 1t was that the stock of gold III
the conversion caisse amounted TO 40l,'
3.OGO pesos, OF s194, 500, i4o. That
means that Argentina stands fourth
among the nations of the world III the
amount of her gold reserve those sur
passing her being France, America ana
Russia. That is a remarkable financial
standing for the austral republic to en-
joy, and it is fitting circumstance OF
the celebration of that eeuntry's Tooth
anniversary of independence, which oc-
ours next month.
But Argentina is in many-We might
say in all--respects Il remarkable coun-
try. We arc not sure that among all the
lands which Sir Henry Maine half pity
irgiy and half contemptuously and alto-
gether despairingly called the ''mongrel
republics there was down to half q cell
fury go one which was more unpromis-
ing than the United Provinces of the
Plate River. The inceSsant chickering's
and wars among those loosely coptedr
Grated states went far TO Justify Boil
vars pessimistic fear that in freeing
South America from Spain he had
''pioughed the sea- All the faults Of all
the others were to be observed there,
with few Of their virtues. In whole
century Argentina has produced not
single chief OF state of commanding
rank comparable, let us say, with Boil
var or Diaz. The most conspicuous of
them all was Rosas. and he as 4 dictator
ranked far below Francia and Lopez.
Yet Argentina has grown in political.
stability and enlightenment and in ma
terial wealth until it is the foremost
state of South America. Nor should it be
difficult to discern the secrets of that
growth The unification of the provinces
into u nation, fifty seven years ago, was
the chief political reason. A polyglot and
polychrome nation, it knows no racial or
coi0f nleS- Iheie .is feady esslmllatloh
OF aliens, there is equality, and there is
no race suicide. If to these things we
add an extensive and varied domain,
rich in many natural resources, with the
best climate In all the Southern Henri
sphere, we shall have completed the out
line of Argentina's grounds for great
success. 1.-THE Canada of the South that
country has been called, and it deserves
the name.
