Professor Wilson is a nice man.
Theory has its place, but without the
practical man of affairs to test out
the ideas of the theorists, we would
never get anywhere. Government is
a practical thing. While we need
the professors, it is mighty danger
GUS to give them the helm of the ship
when they have never sailed the seas.

The reports of bumper crops all
over the country are rather tiresome
reading. 1t seems that someone
might speak word of praise for the
farmer for raising such crops now af-

raising such poor ones the past few

The child deprived of pets misses
much. To love dog, cat, or bird
or any live thing has a humanizing
influence on the character The care
of pet teaches a child to be re-
sponsible for something. The love
of a pet brings out the tender feel
ings of the heart, makes the child
less inclined to cruelty, more
thoughtful, of quicker sympathy. A
pet gives him something to enjoy at
home and so makes home life richer.
1t is one means of keeping him from
undesirable companions.

Prof. Wiener Would
Take Matter to
Court.
PUBLIC SERVICE
REMAINS FIRM
Says That Newark People
Would Suffer by
Change.

Determined to force the Public Serv-
ice Corporation to accept school tickets
before s o'clock in the morning, so tnat
school children from the Clinton Hill
and other remote sections may reach
the Central Commercial and Manual
Training High School at the opening
hour $50, Principal william Wiener
declared today that he AL send an
other letter to the Board of Education
to have the matter pushed to finish.
."Our children must get to school in

accept their tickets before o'clock,
caid Professor Wiener.
I'VE are willing to accept tickets at
i. reasonable hour, but do not regard
it as reasonable to ask us to accept

Duyne, a member of the board at that
time, made a motion to make this
proposition an agreement between tho
city and the railway company.
Principal Wiener is certain that there
can be found way in which to bring
the company to agree to his proposal.
He talked about the decision of the
utility board and the decision of JUS
tice Minturn in the matter of issuing
school tickets.
This decision followed the fight that
arose when the utility law went into
effect last May. 1t prohibited the COM
pany from discriminating in any way.
The company then discontinued giv0g
school tickets. Tile utility board de-
cided that it could give the tickets and
still be within the law. The decision
was appealed and upheld by Justice
Minturn, who spoke of q contract which
required the company to issue these
tickets.
When the matter was brought be-
fore the Public Utilities Commission
it was stated by Commissioner Will
Jams today that the board simply de-
cided that the rates should not be
raised or changed. "No order was
made that three-cent fare should
be charged he said; "but the COM

Upper Berlin Street, : iremen

A building on upper Berlin street in

and family, was Quilted by fire and Hood
ed with water at an early hour this
morning, so that it is practically a to-
tai loss, while the occupants lost every
thing Mr.. and Mrs. Treuba and two
children had time enough to get out
with few clothes.
1t was at 2:35 o'clock when the fam
lily We're awakened by the smell Of smoke
and they rushed from the house and
gave the alarm. Later an alarm was
turned in from box l27 Beside. hav-
ing q long run, the fire horses had a
hard pull at the end, as the building
sets some distance up the hill from
Granite street bridge. The nearest hy
drant was far removed from the house
and the fremen had to Chamber up the
icy slope with two long lines of hose.
The two streams, however, soon had
the fire under control, but not until the
ell was completely destroyed and the
main house had been badly gutted, while
water had added to the amage. The
loss is estimate at $l,200, on which
there is good insurance. Apparently the
fire started about the chimney. The
building was originally erected for
dance hall, but was recently remodeled
into single tenement house, with
barn.
