THE WORTHLESS EMPHASIZES.

When news came from England re- gently that the naval authorities there were inclined to regard the Dread naughts as obsolete, we did not quite understand it; but the war play of the navy off the New England coast in the past two weeks has awakened the authorities to the fact that the sub marines must not be underestimated In the maneuverS some of the sub- marines attached to the defensive fleet approached the big battleships without being detected and did not come to the surface until within 300 yards of the anchorage. As they carry torpedoes that travel al great speed more than five times that distance it would, apparently, have been an easy matter, in real warfare, for the sub marines to have absolutely demolished a least a part of the attacking fleet The Crawling rose from beneath the surface without being detected and within easy hailing distance of the Connecticut
 When we consider the ability of an enemy beneath the water, and one in the air exceeding a mile a minute, to menace and cripple battleships. we may well ask ourselves if their day Is not about over.

TAKING CHANGES.

It is just human to take chances. This is as true of the man W ho walks as of the man who drives an automo- bile, and taking chance is at the bottom of accidents and fatalities which both might have avoided.
 This is the season when the roads more automobiles than ever,t and the opportunities to regret taking chance are very much increased.
 It is q fact that 250,000 come into New England from all parts of the country to take their o~lting, and they spend from S15,o00 900 to SEQ 100000 here. A great many of them come in automobiles and the man who takes a chance is with them.
 If the disposition on the part of all concerned to take chances could be eliminated, the probability is that the fatalities would be reduced one-half
 Drivers of automobiles differ as to the merits of high-speed and low speed. Some claim that low-speed is an invitation to the man who chances it to take risk, while high-speed of itself is warning to the venture some not to take a chance. The Bulie- tin is inclined to think a reasonable speed is best for all concerned.
 Every person should school himself against taking d chance. whether he is driving q motor car or crossing the street. Careful attention to this would greatly reduce accidents and prevent half the danger and expense towhich all are now subjected

RECREATION FOR THE MASSES.

While so much is made of the vaca- ton sea son. it is true but a small part of the people are able to stop work and spend d week or two in idleness.
 What vacations the masses get are usually compulsory, and they are of little benefit because they are the cause of intense werriment.
 One of our contemporaries, advocat- ing two weeks vacation for all at the expense of capital. says:
 NO doubt one reason why men break down so early in our manufac- turing industries is the lack of ade- quate rest times. No human being can work 52 weeks in year without suffering some physical decline. At 50 years of age the great majority of our business and professional men are put ting in their best licks. But how few men of 60 you find in the machine shop and the mill"
 Very few industries run g weeks in the year; and most of those that do are giving employees vacations of one or two weeks in the year.
 Some cities find it possible to fur nish recrea tion for the masses during the summer months in the way of band concerts. Boston, appreciating the value of music to the people, gives a band concert from 12 to 2 every day at this time of the year which thou sands of the employed listen to and appreciate.
 Money expended to entertain and cheer the people of cities is not thrown away. It is the city which takes good care of it's people-which makes life interesting for all-that is attractive and thrives in business and prospers in every way.

IMPROVING THE COMMISSION
 PI AM

Lockport, N. Y., has tackled the com mission government idea with 8 view of improving it, and may have suc- 4ceeded
 Last fall the city of Lockport. N. Y., had a charter revision commission at work. and when it developed mat the commission was to do nothing but trim the edges of the old cia, ter, the local board of trade began to agitate for commission government, and produced bill applicable to any third-class city in the state, Lockport included for an improved commission govern ment plan.
 The powers of the city are vested in a board of five men elected at large for four years and subject to recall after six months on a p per cert. peti- -tion. Tie candidate receivisg the largest humber Of votes takes the title of mayor, has few special duties un der various state laws, but otherwise has no special powers. lie is chair man of the commission or council, as it is called, but has no veto power Thore are no other elective officers Regarding this feature, the pamphlet of the Lockport board of trade makes the following statement:
 The basic merit of the commission plan, and the one that is responsible for it's unques-ioaable success, is that it is workable form Of democracy. It can De opera ted easily by the people without the alG of political machines, which under ti,e old form are an in dispensabie aren of the government. The short haiiot--only five to elect, all of them inportert and conspicuous is the gist of the plan It is so short that the people arc not tempted to rely on ready made -.ickets.' but each voter puts together his own pet ticket with out help from professional ticket mak- CTS. LikewIse the candidate has no incentive to seek the ticket makers but simply goes directly after the votes and whea elected has no one to be grateful to but the oters
 There are 10 obscure elective of fees. Every enc is important enough to be brilI.:sntly illuminated by the concentrated spotlight of public curi- osity and lntef est.
 Tn this environment the people know exactly what they are doing on election day. The people are all in politics., are all complete politicians.
 The list of available candidates is widened immensely by the fact that the commissioners (aldermen) are not to be obliged to abandon private ca reers for what may be but a single term of office at the head of an un- familiar and perhaps uncongenial de- partment. They simply represent the people, at the city hall, with power to review, criticRse, question and di- rect the work of the city mana ger. who is their creature These are condi- tions which will be attractive to the ablest brains in the community, re- gardless of the small salary"
 The city manager idea is of course not original with the Lockport people, but is copied from the German system with it's appointive mayor. In Ger many there are professional mayors. who. having made a success as chief executives in a small city progress upwards by being hired by larger city at an advance in salary They are experts in administra ton, but have of course. no original powers. being always subject to the direction of the council.

Since very small per cent of the people take water with their meals, but indulge in tea and coffee of diff fering strength. it is not so apparent how the old theory that drinking when eating is injurious is knocked out. If this experiment had been continued long enough it is barely possible that i'll effects might have been manifested. Those who are in the habit of eating without drinking have no doubt as to the beneficial results of the practice: and those who drink excessively of water are known to develop portli- ness which is unnatural and uncom- fortable. Those whe eat and drink temperately suffer least physically and live the longest.

Here's another favorite old belief gone to the dogs. As an experiment, a physiological chemist at the Univer- sity of Illinois took young man of 22, placed him a normal diet, let him drink at first half a glass of water at each meal and then gradually in creased the amount until the patient was drinking three pints with each meal The young man throye like milkweed in your pet pea patch. He gained wonderfully in weight and in strength. The flow of gastric juice was stimulated and the processes of digestion, assimilation and excretion were apparently greatly facilitated.

 The death damages bill passed by the house. in accord with the demands of the republican and democratic plat forms, went into the senate Tuesday afternoon after the former body had reconsidered it's earlier action and tackled on an amendment so as to prevent the bill as passed from be- coming retroactive. The almost unan- imous vote of the house for death damages bill which simply struck out of the present law the limitations in figures ($5,000), is understood to be due to the fact that house members believe that such bill will meet the requirements which have been urged as reason for passage of d compensa- ton act.
