Chief Croker found a disposition to in
troduce politics in his department anC
that he preferred to resign before sucl
a policy would disrupt the great orga'
nization he had built up.
Whatever the cause of his retire
ment. Chief Croker viii be remem-
bered as the greatest fire chief New
York had up to his time. He was a
one-idea man. and like men of capac-
ity with one idea, he made his person
ality felt. The men who composed his
army of fire fighters were loyal to him
to a man. they loved their chief and
respected his ability. II was his ca
pacity for work and his interest in it
that brought the New York fire de-
partment into first place among such
organizations throughout the world
No detail was too small for him TO

engage him. His genius built up the
finest body of trained men i'm the
world. Physically and i'm other ways
New York firemen are superior to New
York policemen and their work better.
FOR Croker was able until recently at
east to keep politics out of his depart

nd promoted them because of notable |
ervice. The result of that system was

Washington. Thomas jefferson and
Alexander Hamilton are the statesmen
who will be remembered. The first
thought in connection with the pass

by the Senate will be one Of wonder
why such action has not been taken
long ago.
Thomas Jefferson. third President of
the United States and author of the
Declaration Of independence the man
who added million square miles to
our territory, seems to have waited
long for his recognition.
Equally sluggish appears to have
been the disposition to remember Alex

WORLDS GREATEST FIRE CHIEF

Behind the simple announcement that
Edward f. Croker had resigned as
chief Of the New York FIRE department
may be a big story. The dispatch
conveying the news that he would re-
tire on May 1 merely adds that his
deputy chief had been named to sue
coed him.
For many years Chief Croker has
been conspicuous American figure.
The New York fire department Is fam
Gus the world over for its efficiency
and it owes it's status in large part to
the remarkable executive ability Of its
chief. That Mr.. Croker should volun-
tarily retire while in his prime. when

In view OF the fact that Chief Croker

be that he has terminated his admin

SWITZERLAND

Switzerland Is the ta1lest country
in Europe, an din fact, the tallest in
the world. 1t is so tall that 1t is
impossible for a person standing on
the ground to see more than one
tenth of it, and to lei all of it, it is
necessary to go up in q balloon.
Switzerland does not cover much ter
ritory, but If it were laid down on
its side, it would reach from the
north pole to AntaAefie. They do not
go by the compass in Switzerland,
for they know only two directions
up and down.
The native Swiss are equipped ap-
parently with feet such as are pos
sessed by the musticae domesticae
Or common ~housefly, which gaily
ambles up and down the surface of
a slippery mirror without danger Of
falling. A Swiss a walk up the
side of a stand-pipe and eat a ham
sandwich at the same time, IL some
body will furnish the sandwich. The
only law in Switzerland. which Is
strictly enforced is the law of gray
itation and that applies only to the
tourists from the mountain peaks,
and it is always a wise precaution
to carry an umbrella when walking
in the valley.
Mountain climbing is the greatest
or outdoor sports Id Switzerland.
At the hotel, every tourist wishing
to make a climb Is furnished with
an alpine stock aud a little hat with
a feather in one side. The little hat
with a feather is absolutely neces-
sary, for without 1t, no tourist could
climb over a sewer excavation in
switzerland. 1t WOULD be against

Even Standard OILS citadel OF 81.
lence was made to give up Its secret
-as Mr.. Arcbbold's article IN a well
known weekly demonstrated.
The public wants to zee the man
back of a business or q corporation,
know his name and hear what he
has TO say for himself.
There is no permanent confidence
without candor and no friendship
without confidence for confidence.
The public would rather be wrong
with the man who meets 1t face to
face than right with the mar whom
it doesn't know.
Ii the free reading notice was put
in the paid space, signed by tho
man 1t was supposed to benefit,
three-fourths of the tommy-rot
would not appear, and the copy that
did would generally be more effcc-
tive than the average advertise
ment now used.
1t is strange that a man generally
tells what he isn't in his advertise
ments, and gives a glimpse of his
real self only In his free readers
but it is still more strange that
the advertiser doesn't seem to real
lie that the free reader always
shows its ~parentage III its puffery.
Only senile old age and the Audience
of sixteen are fooled. Hence much
of it is just vanity and can do little

Cum Shoe Publicity

Gum SDO6 Eupl1Citf
A rather amazing book was pri-
vately published the other day. II
listed the names of nearly SEQ midi
viduals and companies who were
acting as press agents for advertts-
ers, associations and Interest who
wanted free publicity.
Some of this publicity was fer
such things as automobiles and
other harmless luxuries and ~necessi-
ties.
Some of it had a more sinister
suggestion: Here is a man set
down as an agent who Furnishes
anti-pure food legislation material;
especially against DR.. Wiley.
Here was another who was the
official press agent 10 those who
are opposed to the Postal Savings
Bank BILL"
1t had many other surprising
things, but several like the above
were amazingly and cynically can
did. Few outside of the editorial
offices of great newspapers know
about this gum shoe publicity"
and the educational work" carried
on by the insinuating publicity agent
who is constantly scheming to get
newspapers to stand for views his
employers don't want to stand for
themselves.
There are signs that tire day Of
the press agent and his Tree pub

is being educated to know that
a rank out and out endorsement OF
anything of doubtful merit has some
sinister influence behind its inno-
cent headline.
