FIRE COMMISSIONERS
 INSPECT DEPARTMENT.
Make Midnight Call at All the Houses -Men Make Duck Responses in Each Instance.

The last session of the present
 board of fire commissioners, Alderman Grosvenor Ely, Councilmen John =. Fowler and John Barry, was held Fri day evening at the Central station
 when the bills were approved. It was then they received an invitation from
 Alderman Ely, the chairman, to be his
 guests at the Wauregan house Satur-
 day evening, Chief Stanton also being
 invited
 The invitation was accepted and AL
 derman Ely entertained until midnight.
 at which time they left by auto for the
 inspection of the several fire houses.
 At each house an alarm was sent in On

 vicinity of the house Very qliick re-
 16 seconds being the longest time in
 getting to the main floor, while B seconds was the longest time required
 before the companies were ready to leave. This was the first inspection of the year and was most successful. The
 station at the Falls was visited first
 and all were visited. including the
 houses at GreenevilIe. Such an in-
 spection is liable to be held at any
 time. Cigars were passed at each sta-
 ton by Alderman Ely. The coniInis-
 sioners were much pleased with the in- spection.
 At the Central station Driver Culver of the chiefs wagon had gotten out of the house and had to be called back. He had not seen the commissioners, who were secreted on the main floor. A change in the test blow has been made by Chief Stanton. who now strikes twice for test instead of onte as formerly This is the proper test for closed circuit. One stroke may work all right. but the line might re-
 main open, which would prevent the proper working of the system. With two strokes, however it shows that the circuit both breaks and closes properly.
 Thus far in the fire department s year there have been 15S alarms. with

The Forgotten Great.

The death list of the United States
senate for the last twelve months
is a remarkable one; a fact still
further emphasized by the death of
Senator Frye Within the year, John
w Daniel of Virginia, Jonathan p.
Dolliver of Iowa, Stephen B. Elkins
of West Virginia, Samuel d. McEn-
cry of Louisiana, Charles J. Hughes
of Colorado, and now William P
Frye of Maine, have passed to the
great beyond. Every one of these
senators, with the exception of Mr..
Hughes of Colorado, who was a new
member of the senate, was a national
leader. Both in the unusual number
of deaths and in the eminence of the
senators stricken the list Is, there
fore a notable one.
And it is not alone by death that
notable changes have been brought
about in the senate membership.
Chiefly because of the political land
slide of last November, the names of
the following statesmen have dis
appeared from the senate rolls since
this time a year ago: Aldrich Of
Rhode Island, Beverage of Indiana,
Buckley of Connecticut, Burrows of
Michigan, Carter of Montana, De-
pew of New York, Dick of Ohio.
Flint of California, Frazier of Ten
nessee, Hale of Maine, Kean of New
Jersey, Money of Mississippi, Piles
of Washington, Scott Of West Vir-
ginia, Taliaferro of Florida, and War
ner of Missouri.
And here again the seats which
have been vacated bore names which
were familiar the country over. be-
cause of the long service or the rec
ognized talents of the senators we
have named.
Taken together, death and the vicis-
STUDIES of politics have within a
brief twelve months removed from
the floor of the senate twenty two
of the foremost men of the nation.
New men, unknown men, as a rule,
have taken their places. If, a year
ago, the country could have known
that within a few months more than
a score of the leading senators would
be taken away by death or defeat,
there would have been earnest specu-
lation everywhere as 10 the effect
upon national affairs. But now that
death and defeat have together re-
placed nearly a third of the entire
senate membership the fact is not
even a topic of general comment. The
senate goes on as before, the country
goes on as before, and at least a
score of men of former national fame
are already forgotten. And thus we
have a striking Illustration of the
fleeing Importance of every man,
no matter how great, and a lesson
for every misguided man who schemes
and works and frets his vitality away
in the endeavor to make his fellow
men talk about him and remember
him.

Current Comment
DEVELOPMENT OF THE PHILIP.
PINES.

With one exception it may be said
that Philippine development schemes
have met with a cold reception from
the financial interests of America. The
repeated failures in promoting or
financing any project for the islands
must receive the serious consideration
of the Philippine commercial COM
munity
The islands present opportunities for
rapid and profitable development UNI
equaled in the world. Rich mineral
deposits abound the forests of valu-
able hardwoOds are ineXhaustible the
sugar lands yield a high average, the
hemp monopoly is a sourse Of never
ending profit, rubber and gutta percha
thrive and give handsome returns.
Yet with few exceptions these i'm
mense natural resources after twelve
years Of American rule are still worked
in the old primitive, wasteful manner
which marked the industry of a cen
fury ago It is a severe criticism and
reflection on American energy which
permits such untold wealth to remain
undeveloped and is a striking contrast
to American enterprise in Alas ska, Ha-
wall, Porto Rico or Cuba and to the
methods of Europeans in neighboring
countries.
Java is a tropical paradise and
yields immense wealth to the Dutch
investors. Borneo is forging ahead
and many large enterprises are in sue
cessful operation. The story Of the
industrial development of the FEEDER
ated Malay States reads like a chap
ter from a romance or the Arabian
Nights and rubber kings have sup
plemented the old time tin millionaires.
Sumatra is famous the world over
for its cigar wrappers, and tobacco
plantations have spread to neighbor-
ing isles. Petroleum abOunds and even
Shanghai has its quota Of millionaires
made rich over night, as il were, by
the marvellous wells. Indo- China is
the rice granary of the Orient and eN-
ports its products to the Philippines,
and Formosa under japanese rule,
contending with adverse climatic con-
ditions. has developed a modern sugar
industry which shames the Philippines
and bids fair in time to rival Java
Not one of these countries can COM
pare in natural gifts with the Philip
pines. yet they progress and prosper
while the islands fail to keep pace
with the procession. 1t is time for
those who have cast their lot with the
islands to face the problem seriously
consider the question and try to over
come the difficulties surrounding the
investment of American capital in the
Philippines and divert the stream
which flows so freely into the other
territorial ossessions.-Journal of the
American Asiatic Association.
