but he is more than ever exacting now,
since his only daughter. the Princess Vic
toria Louise, has come out" According
to court etiquette none but princes of the
blood royal can claim her as a partner.
so she is obliged to invite plain, ordinary
men to dance with her. For this reason
the Emperor Is keeping a sharp eye on
the reports of Baron Seeberg. who has
been appointed master Of ceremonies, and
whose business it is to see that only Off
GERS and attaches who can dance we'll are
invited to the court balls as possible part
ners Of the princess.
Count Seeberg will have absolute power
on the floor. and il any dancer gets out of
step the master Of ceremonies will run
after him, touch him on the shoulder. and
order him out of the field Of action.
During the absence Of the crown prince
and princess in the Orient. their children
have been staying At Potsdam in the ten
der care of their grandmother. the En-
press, but they sorcly miss their parents.

nual road levy that would guarantee
the issuance OF bonds to the amount

principal of which woufs be dis
charged without a single mill moro
levy. AS the cities and towns would

ton, ifs;a bond issue be decided
upon, the amount wonld be doubled

rived from the issue and yaTailable

result at once, instead of the present
bad ones. The districts outside the

yearly to build 100 miles of paved
roads at $4,000 q mile under the

and towns agreed to bond themselves
that number OF miles of paved
roads would be doubled
The questfon-is. shall the county
be bonded for good roads? 1t is
one that should be taken under con-
sideration and studied without
prejudice. ESPECIALLY should it be
studied as to whether it is the best
and most economical way of solV-
ing the road question. That paved
or nacadamized roads must be

good roads is self-evident fact
How to get them paved or macad-,

Democratic newspapers, envious

SIN Another Anniversary.

Several years ago the tenth cen
tennial of the sausage was cele-
brnted in Germany with feastine
and song. IA Wand of such ancient
lineage deserved well of It's earliest
home and its most faithful admirers
and thousands of sausage-nurtured
TeItons greeted the millennial with
gastronomic exuberance tempered
by fitting respect.
Now, according to an eminent
Belgian authority, Gays the Cleve-
land PIaindealer, this year of grace
brings the one hundred and 11ftieth
birthday of the sandwich, an as
sertion which indicates that the
three-layer delicacy was a 'con-
temporary of Franklin and Wash
ington and Jefferson, and that 1t
antedated american independence
by only fifteen years. Naturally. an
interested public will wonder why
such a useful and popular cons
bination could have been overlooked
so long. Nor is any clue given to
the identity of the ingenius inventor.
Consequently, we may conclude that
the sandwich was one of those sud
den inspirations that come to a
number of minds conformity, and
cannot-be narrowed down to any in
dividual source.
Be that as it may, the sandwich
is regarded as leading factor in
the scheme of human sustenance. 1t
is the backbone, as it were, of the
quick-lunch purveyor, and the
standby of the hurried eater.

One of the Washington buglers OF
the Democratic state machine of
West Virginia issues the edict that
the Republicans of this state must
insist on the appointment OF Judge
Nathan Con as a supreme justice of
the United states. The edct was
issued almost before Justice Harlan
died and long before he was buried.
There appears to have been an over
eagerness in the matter. The lesson
learned is that the discredited Dem
ocratic state machine is grasplng at
the last straw. Even the awe at
death and the proper respect in
such an instance have no place In

Albion e. Lang. president Of

tpany, aroused the electric railway
convention at atlantic City with a
4 powerful and clear exposition of
what electric railway men regard as
the chaotic condition surrounding
public service enterprises not only
in his city but in many others. Mr.
Lang declared that under a manage

electric railway situation in Toledo
had become "engulfed in politics, .
that under the pressure OF party

'Three-cent fares with transfers

elf any return on invested capital is
expected a fare of ten or fifteen
cents would not produce revenue
sufficient to meet daily operating eX-
penses, If the ordinances recently
proposed by the municipality of To-

has opened up and the old bogy Of

used as a recommendation for the
reelection OF candidates. The ctty's
growth has been retarded by the
constant agitation of this subject for
some years past. and by the contin-
ued abuse of corporations and so
called capitalists. Although all the
while there have been some good
business men in the city council,
men who in their own affairs show
decision and sound judgment, they
have not asserted themselves with
courage in this vital public matter
and have not exposed as they should
the hypocrisy or political cowaEdtce
of their associates in the municipal
body. @
''On this subject Of fares and SER
vice, the voters are being misled by
their leaders. 1T is time that light
should be thrown on the situation.
A wave of agitation similar in char
