Appreciation Of Public Service.

The ingenuity Ot man has nsrerr been
able, TO devise substitute FOL, Pablo
interest as a safeguard and inspirAtion
in public service. Accordingly the
splendid caucus at City hall Wednes
day evening called together for the
purpose of nominating Republican
candidate for mayor should be graft
flying alike to the candidate himself
and to the public, for of course the
public is DESTROYS of seeing good work
commended regardless of its source.
Most of the Journals readers will re-
call Mr.. Johnson's reluctance to accept
the nomination one year ago. He could
have had the honor in the days when
a nominat ton meant an election, but he
was a busy man and did not feel that
he could give it the attention ii de-
served without too great sacrifice on
his part. for he mad no succession of
offices in view to which the mayoralty
might serve as stepping stone; the
only reward for him could be public
recognition of meritorious service and
the consciousness of duty well per-
formed.
tardy unless lured by sweet persua-
siveness, an art which Mr.. Johnsons

terist ic of his successful business ca
rcer. AS would naturally be expected
by those acquainted with his business
methods he favored policy of pay as
you go meeting the obligations prompt
ly. let the tax rate be what it might
so long as necessary.
That caucus at City hall Wednesday
evening afforded conclusive evidence
that Mr.. Johnson's methods are APP
proved. 1t was q meeting of intclli-
gent men. capable of thinking for
themselves, wanting facts. and indie
pendent enough to form their own con-
cluSiOns. representative meeting. 1t
listened three quarters of an hour
with intense interest to the admirable
exposition of the city's finances by ane
of the speakers, Judge Maher, and re-
nominated Mr.. Johnson with a display
of enthusiasm that augurs most favor
ably Tor the results of the election.

In the above paragraph the En-
tcrprisc hits upon the real reason
why New England has stood still
while the rest of the country has
grown by leaps and bounds. 1t is in
difference OF apathy or over conf
dcnce. New Englanders have felt so
secure in their industrial leadership
that they deemed hustling for more
business to be not only undignified
but unnecessary.
While New Englanders have been
devoting their time to deciding which
of the wildcat mining schemes they
will put their inherited fortunes into,
the Westerners have been hustling for
shoe shops. flour mills, automobile
factories. refineries, steel mills and
few other very commonplace, but
highly remunerative industries, call
culated to give the present genera
ton something to hand down to it's
children.
The energy and foresight of the
fathers. together with her natural ad-
vantages. gave New England first
place among the industrial sections
of the new world, and she held it for
many years. The same, energy made

Overhead trolley wires in large COM
munities are a nuisance. owing to the
necessity for poles, the danger and the
handicap they place upon firemen in
fighting fires above the street level.
Some cities are very seriously handi-
capped in their development by these
overhead wires. though it is granted
that but for the cars which make the
wires necessary the cities would be
less prosperous than they now are.
Some cities adopt the third rail and
others the cable. New York has been
anxiously awaiting the storage bat
terry car because it will solve many
problems in that city. The first stor-
age battery cars are now running
where for years New York was depen-
dent upon an obsolete hOrsecar equip
meot.
The storage battery car has been OPP
Grated in New jersey at d cost of eight
mills per mile. while five cents is con-
sidered low cost for operating a troll
lev car in the cities Those who are re-
sponsible fer the new car estimate that
in New York it will cost not more than
two cents per mile to operate it, much
less than the cost of the underground
feed system Therefore it seems that
the new car has at least two points in
it's favor, less operating cost and the
elimination of overhead wiring as well
as underground electric feed. 1t may
be many years before this system will
be installed outside of the cities; pos
sibly it may never be operated On sub
urban lines, but in any event it is a
distinct advance over the old system.
