Trials of an Editor

One of our exchanges, in its last is
sue, gives some pointed remarks on
the difficulty Of editing paper to suit
everybody. Following is the article in
question:
The editor or the American we'll
knows how impossible it is to edit a
paper just to the liking Of everybody,
and any man with gray matter in his
intellectual cocoanut to pound salt in
a rat hole without a receipt, knows
that such thing cannot be done. One
element will bless the outspoken news
paper, the other will curse it. Folks
will pat the fellow on the back which
scores their personal enemies. but let
the paper step on their pet corns and
the ether is filled with walls. If man
edits conservative paper, both sides
will kick it and wish for a paper with
the courage of its convictions, one
which is not afraid to call a spade, a
spade. Some folks will tell the editor
there is no news and then roast the
paper for not mentioning d party given
at their house the night before. Some
want paper to tell the whole truth on
all occasions, while others argue that
such things be left out, and some de-
sire to edit the paper themselves that
their cussedness may be whitewashed
and the other fellows shortcomings ex-
posed. These are conditions with
which every country editor must con-
tend, and fortunate is the pencil shower
with nerve enough to shoot at the mark,
regardless of age, sex, color or previous
condition OF servitude, he is the fellow
who works the reforms, and develops
the country. Milk and mush journal
ism is worse than none. A publisher
should stop paper as cheerfully as he
starts one and work for the best inter
ests of the greatest number, ignoring
the political parasite and partisan pup
who endeavors to dictate the policies
of his paper.

Riches Hath Wings

You get new ten-dollar bill
And smooth its folds with pride.
1t looks so beautifully big,
So crisply long and wide!
Its yellow back like sunshine seems,
Git gives the note some class!)
You even find beauty in the face
OF Michael Hillegas!
But brief is your enjoyment, for
You have to buy hat.
You get in change FIVE, two ones,
And ragged bills at that.
Still there is beauty in FIVE,
So long as it is whole.
You feel the pictured Indian
Is not without soul.
But other needs must soon be met;
You buy all sorts OF things.
The eagle on the dollar bills,
Like riches, spreads its wings.
They fly away, these lesser notes,
In spite Of your laments;
And soon you'll find your lovely ten
Looks just like thirty centsl

Passing of a weILKnown Mining Man

The death of Col. VIM. c. Greene
at his home in Cananea, Mexico, Aug
ust S, removes one Of the most spec
tacular figures associated with the
American copper mining industry.
At the age Of 16 this man, who rose
from prospector to many times a mil
lionaire, worked in a mercantile house
in New York city until he acquired
sufficient funds to take him west,
where he secured his first position with
surveying party on the Northern Pa
cifc railway. This not being to his
liking he staked out some land on
which the city OF Fargo, N. Oak. now
stands, and undertook the raising of
cattle.
Soon realizing that the southwest Of
fered better opportunities for the cattle
business, he went in the early 7O's to
Cochise county, Arizona, where he
purchased small ranch on San Pedro
creek, near Tombstone. 1t was i'm
possible for any man to live near Tomb
stone in the '80s without taking an in
terest in mining. Col. Greene caught
the fever and made many prospecting
trips throughout southern Arizona and
northern Mexico, but it was not until
1898 that he decided to invest his all
in some copper prospects that he had
acquired in Sonora. He was able to
get together about $4,000, and with
this money he established camp
where Cananea now is, and began the
development work which was destined
to amaze the world.
For long time the struggle was
hard and sufficient to have discouraged
man OF less courage and determine
ton; expensive litigation grew out OF
an attempt of others to secure posses
sion of the mines after development
work had begun to show great value.
This litigation was fought through all
the courts of Mexico and at many
points in the United States-Phoenix,
El Paso and New York courts being
called upon to decide certain features
of the various cases before Col. Greene
finally won a perfect title to the prop
erty, which he had held undisputed
for many years.
He was at the height of his power in
1908, being at that time at the head
OF companies having total capital of
nearly 100000, 900, more than half
of which he owned personally. These
companies included, besides Greene
Con. Copper, the Greene Gold-Silver
Co., capital $25 900, 900; the Greene
Con Co., capital $5,000,000; the
the Sierra Madre Land & Lumber Co.,
capital $18, 100000; the Guayrapita
Copper Co., capital $5,000,000, and
others.
The panic of 1911 finished the fall
of his fortunes, and he left for Japan,
hoping there to secure capital to put
himself and his enterprises on a stable
footing again. He did not obtain the
needed capital. On his return he
closed his Wall Street offices and re-
tired to Cananea.
Colonel Greene was thrown from his
carriage when his team ran away. His
collar bone and two Of his ribs were
fractured. Three days later acute
pneumonia developed, which caused
his death.

MAYOR NAMES SPECIAL COMMITTEE ID LOOK INTO
 THE GARBAGE NUISANCE

Mayor Buckingham in an effort to get at the troubles which beset the residents of the Ninth and the upper Twelfth districts to alleviate their sufferings which come from smells emanating either from the garbage plant, the sewerage enptying into the Berkshire pond or the Berkshire mud flats, has appointed an investigation committee to look into the troubles. The committee will meet Monday af- ternoon at 2.o'clock and will consum- mate some plan to arrive at a suc- cessful conclusion of the nuisance.
 On the committee, the Mayor has appointed the members of the Board of Health, F. G. Bogart, Dr. G. w. Osborn, J. H. Whitcomb and J. M. Lund; the Sewer committee, Alder men J. F. O'Nei1, F. J. voos, T. W. Stewart; City Engineer Maurice F. McKenna. City Auditor Bernard Keat- ing, Director of Public Works M. A. Kenny, County Health Officer George F. Hill, and the East Side committee, T. J. McNamara, F. L. Bradbury and l.. ". Wilson.
 The Mayor stated today that he would continue his personal visits to the locality where the "stench'' com plaints have come from, and that his committee would make several visits of inspection of the garbage plant, of the pond, of the mud flats and all the affected section.
 ''If the committee succeeds in find ing" said the Mayor, that the No ble avenue sewer, or the garbage sewer, or both, are at fault, shall be

GIRL CHILD
 CORRUPTED IN
 CENTRAL CAFE
Prosecuting Authorities Will Investigate Case of Young Woman Whose Name Is Withheld.

Revelations of startling nature as to the practice of centrally located cafes dispensing intoxicants to girls who have not yet attained their ma jority have led Assistant Prosecuting Attorney William A. Redden to take county commissioners the manner of conducting these places.
 Specific, informa tion of this sort of practices came to the city court offi- cial through investigation of complaint made by the mother of girl, not yet Is. The girls late hours had occasion ed frequent ren1onstrances from her parents. These proved of little avail. Then letters began to come to her home the contents of one or two of which fell into the hands of the par- ents These revealed the girls man. her of life in such a convincing fash ion that the mother communicated with the authorities.
 Further investigation by Mrs. Mar garet Burgess, the probation officer of the city court, brought to light in- formation as to the girls visiting cen- trally located cafes and drinking free- ly. The fact that the girl is not IS at once led the authorities to action.
 MT. Redden visited Superintendent Birmingham and Captain Arnold also the office of the county commission CTS to acquaint them with the facts disclosed through his investigation of the anguished mothers complaint,
 The police and commissioners an- nounced that immediate steps would be taken to put the screws down up- on all who sell liquor to minors The girl in question has the appearance of one beyond her years. Whether any arrests will be made for viola tions that have already occurred has not yet been decided
 The name of the young woman is withheld by the authorities. They hope to correct her waywardness with out bringing her into court

 If the smell comes from the r1u1 flats above the bridge, would favor either the doing away of the BerA~ shire dam, Or filling in or draining . channel
 The Mayor stated that 1t was wffh- in the province of the county heash officer or the State Board of Heaifh to condemn a dam if 1t is shown fhn< the dam is a. source of nuisance.
 The Mayor again stated today. e, he stated when the agitation was ffrv4t started, that if 1t was shown fbatj the garbage plant was at fault. ftaxI he would order the plant closed. "Asl yet," he said, "I have not sufficient evidence to feel sure that the garbaz zs plant is the cause"
 Last evening the Mayor with hss wife, several friends, including a neve-: paper man, shortly after il c<c1oc&. in the Mayors auto took a frx6i through the Ninth and Twelfth dis. tricts. At the Berkshire bridge. tas party was able to detect a slight odox, that of the mud flats. The par1& went over Huntington road to Boston avenue and around Old NH Grssa, the wind blowing upon them, but faf1- { ed to detect the slightest odor Sud trips are not required of a cftyss exc. cutive, but are being made by Navy Buckingham in the interests Of fzal residents of East Bridgeport.

Engine All That
 Is Left of the
 Yacht ''Romania''
Bridgeport Ocean Going Motor Boat Runs Into Reef Near Yarmouth,
 N. s.

Its Made in Bridgeport engine is | the only part of the ocean-going mo- tor boat Romania remaining from the wreck of the craft which went on the rocks Monday night off Chebogue Point, near Yarmouth, Nova Scotia. The captain and crew are safe, and the motor is practically unharmed, but the vessel itself is completely wrecked.
 The engine, which is valued at $1,- 800, was built by the Automatic Ma chine Company of this city. The Ro- mania left Bridgeport last Saturday for trip across the Atlantic ocean.
 Captain John Weller, her owner and commander, and his crew, consisting Z of N. H. Small, navigator; Anton Mapro, engineer; Henry Struckrnyer, seaman, and Robbie Weller, the cap tafn's son, are all safely ashore, and their personal effects have been re- covered.
 The Romania was making almost full speed ahead about midnight last night, and all but the steersman, and the engineer were asleep when she suddenly brought up with a heavy jolt. The engines were stopped and all hands turned to. The sea was running high at the time. The crew believed they had struck some ob- struction far out at sea- By reckon ings taken in the afternoon they GnVulQ nave DGeH IlCd0Cd diiIIOSl odO east for the coast of England.
 When day broke, life-savers on the lonely coast at Chebogue Point made out the power-boat stranded on the reef They thought it was the little gasoline boat Snap Shot, which start ed in the race from New York to Hal, flax for the Reciprocity Cup offered by William Randolph Hearst. The Snap Shot hadn't been reported in many hours.
 But while the life men were prepar- ing to launch their dories, a small boat from the wrecked craft started ashore In a few minutes it's occu- f pants, the crew of the Romania, re- vealed their identity.
 Captain Weller was much distressed at the accident. He said that 1t was undoubtedly caused by strong southerly wind and a rather heavy fog, which must have thrown him and his crew fan off their reckOningS.

Car Belonging to Dr. Persons Son in Stamford Runs Dow :, and Kills Civil War Veteran
Special from United Press,

Especial from United Press)
 Stamford, July 26-Claiming that his automobile was running at an ordinary rate of speed, Richard N. Pierson is, today, held for man slaughter for running down and kill ing Noah Frank Scofield, a Civil war veteran. late last night, on Shippan avenue. Pierson is the son of Dr.. Samuel Pierson, of Broad street, in this city. In the car with him were Mrs. Lea Herrick and Paul Howes, Stamford folk of social prominence.
 All claim the car was moving at ordinary speed. No one saw Scofield but the bump was felt when the ma chine hit him. The car was stopped and Pierson, who was driving, took the man to the Stamford hospital. He died there an hour later
 Pierson was arrested and spent the night in the city lookup, no bail be- ing fixed. Today, Prosecuting Attor- ney Carter drew a warrant charging him with manslaughter and fixing bail at $1.000. Pierson will appear in the city court, Saturday, to an- swer to that charge, unless the cor oner orders him held on another, meantime Coroner Wilson was ex- pected here, today, for an inquest

then by a change of gears. runs the pumps.
 The weight of the all-gasoline vehi- cle is far less than that of the com bined gasoline-stea vehicle; its speed is much greater, as fast as the present auto-chemical; it's cost of up- keep and wear and tear are reduced by it's lower weight; it comes within the limit of pneumatic tires; it does not require a steam outfit with con- stant steam pressure at the fire en- gsne houses, and the consequent ex- penSe; it does not require an extra man to stoke it, at the fires.
 The vehicle which the fire commits sioners have purchased consists Of the No. 1 steamer (first size), which has been sent to the Knott Fire En- zine works at Indianapolis and mount ed on an automobile truck. The orig inal cost of the fire engine to the city of Bridgeport was about $5,0O0, and the cost of the alterations Is $6,000. bringing the total cost of this piece of apparatus up to $11,000. On the other hand a new all-gasoline engine of similar capacity, complete, would cost $8,000. In this respect an expert said:
 "It would be cheaper for the city of Bridgeport to throw it's steamer on the junk heap. and buy new gasoline Oh6li lA1dA tO Ouy llllS SApChSifC &'liu cumbersome gasOline-steam vehicle, with it's enormous cost of upkeep, and it's comparatively slow speed"
 A Farmer reporter investigated the statistics of the fire department and found that the No. 1 company, where this engine was stationed, does less fire fighting than any other company in the city without exception, and an- swers fewer alarms than any other, with one execution
 On the other hand the pieces of auto chemical apparatus bear by far the greatest part of the fire-fightfng brunt.
 i. The figures show that during the year 1910, the No. 1 Engine Company answered but 50 alarms, and worked at but seven fires. Only one other company-No. 7s-answered fewer alarms, but that company worked at Il fires, or four more than Mo- Is.
 On the other hand, the No. 1 auto chemical company answered s316 alarms and worked at 150 fires; the No. 2 chemical answered 62 alarms and worked at 28 files.
 Here are some of the other figures, the first figure being the number of the company; the second figure, the alarms answered.; and the third fig ure, the number of fires at which work was done:

HAVE FIRE COMMISSIONERS BOUGHT $II,000 ''LEMON'
 IN AUTO STEAM ENGINE? ?
Same Type of Vehicle a Failure in New
 York Department
Metropolitan Department Will Not Buy Any More-Many Points of Disadvantage of Vehicle Now Its Way Bridgeport Enormous Cost of Upkeep Compared with Simpler and Light CT but Equally Powerful Type of AlGasolne Fire Engine

Is the city of Bridgeport getting an $11, 900 white elephant in the shape of the combination automobile and steam fire engine that is now on it's way to this city from Indianapolis? Such is indicated by the failure of this self-same piece of apparatus in the New York fire department, the head of which has declared that the gaso- line-steam engine is unsuccessful and that the department will buy no more of that type of apparatus.
 The apparatus which Bridgeport is buying consists of a full sized steam fire engine mounted on an automobile truck The cumbersome features of this bit of apparatus may be recog- mixed at glance On the other hand. the fire engine which is meeting the greatest favor from experts, is one in which the same gasoline engine which propels the vehicle, pumps the water by a shift of gears.
 The New York fire department is now about to spend $800,000 for the purchase of automobile fire apparatus. For some months the department has been in possession of a huge motor driven steam fire engine of the type purchased by the Bridgeport commis- sioners Of this the New York Times says:
 ssThe fire engine of the type already in use will not be duplicated for the reason that 1t has been found that a steam and gasoline combination does not work well. Instead, an all gaso- line engine will be purchased, if suitable make is found in the mar ket"
 It Is tho experience of the New York department that this vehicle possesses enormous disadvantages which more than counterbalance the speed gained by the automobile chassis. The dfsad- vantages include:
 Enormous weight, of steam engine mounted on heavy gasoline truck, making handling very difficult, wear great. and high speed impossible.
 Enpsoymeat of two separate power plants, one of 120 horsepower to draw vehicle to fire, and the other, of only 75 horsepower, to pump water at fire.
 Necessity of keeping steam up at fire engine houses all the time, amounting to about $100 per year per engine for coal in addition to the ex- pense of maintaining the gasoline part of the vehicle.
 Necessity of employing extra man to stoke the steam engine, at $1 900 a year. in addition to regular driving crew on gasoline apparatus.
 On the other hand, the all-gasoline apparatus has but one power plant, and set of pumps. The power plant carries the vehicle to the fire, and
