WAR ON STREET SIGNS.

TT would lc an unhappy scheme OF street improvement that RACED
balconies and rorucocs at the stoop-ino and left the skyline dis

.cctural ac,cseGic, rcmoycd to widen Fifth avenue did cncroach on
public property. Bui they were slightly and contributed TO the lcgiii-
mate spcctaclcs of ,c ely. The advertising on blank walls and cor
nices is probably in many eases equally in violation of ordinance, and
IS not slightly. Borough President McAneny, whose hand is seen in
the one Improvement, has realized this, and has undertaken the other.
The war against cyesorc advertising is on.
Now is he time to drive it home. The Legislature has set a good
example by declaring illegal all advertising on country highways and
AUTHORIZING anybody to destroy it. In this city much to abatc "A worse
nuisance can be done under existing ordinances, for the scaffolding
which supports electric advertising has been erected with small regard
for the law. When other remedies have been exhausted, recourse
should be had TO the Aldermen and the Legislature.
What is permitted here would not be tolerated abroad. There
cities generally prohibit fencing vacant lots with bllboards. Some
offer prizes for artistic advertising signs. Others secure the same re-
suit by imposing on bilboards a graduated. progressive taS," so that
no signs can afford TO be large, and the effort IS to attract attention
BY beauty alone. The County Council Of lants, England, has made
IN ordinance that "no advertisement shall be exhibited on any hoard
ing, stand or other erection visible from any public highway and SO
placed as to disfgure the natural beauty Of the landscape
From each of these foreign examples New York can learn some
thing. 1T. signs, notably the Enthusiastically changing electric ones, have
achieved optical trespass. What should be most slightly, they make
odous or ridiculous.

HE HELD THE r

@ORNElICS y. BLISS, for a space Secretary Of the Interior in
the Mckinley Cabinet, could have been Secretary Of the
- Treasury in the Arthur Cabinet. He would have made a good
n one, for the ragged old wholesale dry goods merchant who died this
d week had business ability, honor and some instinct for public affairs.
= = Az it happened, his only trcasurership was in connection with the
Republican National Committee. He held the purse in the Roosc-
10 welt campaign of 1901. In that capacity he embodied. however un-
x willingly, a sinister and cruel paradox of the time: He spent crooked
4 money honestly.
= - 1t was crooked money, for it came from trusts and great corpora

. tho well founded expectation that the Roosevelt administration would

2 OF the word. 1t was honestly spent, for Mr.. Bliss would not spend
otherwise. lie was a successful campaign collector, because con-
= trbutors kncw that none of the money would stick to his fingers, and
n al would be spent in accordance with the best political practice Of
the time.
Political practice has moved on since his day. 1t is against the
u law now for corporations to give to campaign fund.-, ard the law re-
- quircs that the sources and uses of these funds shall be disclosed before
and after elections. Doubtless M. Bliss regretted that the better
practice WAS, not enforced in his own time, Is his friends must regret

YOUR OWN LIFE A QUARRY

1t was Goethe who said: Life is

own life, that separate part of Gods
universe over which he has set you
as supreme master. king to rule the
dominion Goethe says that this life.
your own life, his life, everybody's life,
is a quarry. A quarry is place
where stone is gotten. The value of
quarry is always in the quality of it's
stone. Now life, If 1t be a quarry, is
simply place containing something
that is valued, uniformed but with
skill may be wrought into what Is val
liable. The stone from the quarry is
chiselled into form. A greater value
comes from the csiselling of this
stone. Michael Angeles Moses" is

BEE BOTH BUSY AND BRAVE
1t Never Seeks Notoriety But Resents
Interference With Visor That

It was Maeterlinck who idylized the
bee The master OF modern playcraft
found in the busy insect bookful OF
entertaining marvels. The bee is not
only the symbol of industry but 1t is
the exponent Of good government. OF
good order, of practical socialism.
Incidentally, the tiny creature is
fiercely sensitive regarding Its place.
its home and its right to pursue hap
piness in its own uneventful way. In
the Omaha Union depot two hives OF
bees fell off a truck, and the inmates
buffeted and disturbed. swarmed
through the great Enclosure seeking
the unknown enemy and speedily
clearing the floor of everything ami

sion OF the station. held 1t against all
corners, until expert advice was called
In and the marauders were ured back
to confinement.
In England an accident OF similar
character occurred when hand hive
was broken open in Waterloo station
and a panic promptly followed.
But all the stories concerning the
bee cannot be accepted without inves-
tigation The bee never poses. 1t
never seeks notoriety. All 1t asks Is
to be let alone-and 1t resents inter-
ference with a vigor and effect that
are at times overwhelming
A creature so tiny and yet so reso-
lutte that can hold up all traffic at
one of the leading railway centers OF
the country is entitled to good deal
of respect-and respect is a tribute
which the bee has commanded even

shooting of 20 year old Alex Garland
by Mrs. j. P. McCray. Both are of
prominent and distinguished south

of the district president of the Santa

dead young man and considered beau
tiful.
She is in jail and her friends say
her course was justified and that she
will be acquitted. She says that Gar
land insulted her and that she regrets
she had to take the action she did
but that if more women would re.
sent insults, this would be better
world The friends of Garland,
knowing the high reverence he held
for women, cannot believe that he
was guilty of the charge.
The two families we're neighbors
and friends and the young man often
remained at the McCray home during
the absence of the husband as pro.
tector of the home. He had been
there but about fifteen minutes today
when the shots were fired and when
the police arrived they found him
dead, with three bullets in his head
and his lighted cigar still in his
hand.
