SIMON FAIRMAN,
 Inventor.

When the arbitrament of war had determined our status and peace had again settled down upon the United States, our fathers turned to indus trial pursuits, determined to rehabill- tate the country commercially and maintain that position among nations to which their prowess entitled them. \ And the people were numbered. It was a period of intense activity, and at such apropitious time the subject of this recital was born March 4, I1792) in that early home of economy and thrift, the valley of the Connec- tiout, at Stafford. The high intellec- tual average of the children born at that period undoubtedly resulted from the vigor imparted to their parents by the rigors experienced during the long contest that tried mems souls. :" And young Simon gave early evidence of precocity.
 \ According to the custom prevalent at that date he was duly apprenticed, and when once more free was soon known as an able and versatile ma- chinist, whose services were in de- mand far beyond the limits of his native town. The growing import ance of the towns bordering the upper Hudson river attracted the ambitious young men of Connecticut, and among those who found remunerative em Iployment in the mills and factories about Lansingburg, Troy and Water ford was Simon Fairman, the inven tor, who there found full scope fo , his genius.
 Wynan's kill furnished water powe for a variety of useful enterprises lamong which were cotton and woolel mills, the ever active looms whereo frequently required his correctly lhand. Being of English pattern lthey, like their antitypes beyond the Isea, were operated after the manne of long established usage "at 'ome. lBut that did not deter the acut minded young Yankee. Watt, wit his steam engine, and Whitney, wit
 his cotton gin, were his exemplers an
 precedents for change. He knew tha Ithose inventions had replaced huma
 agencies, and taking note of both tn
 manual labor involved and the ma terial delay accustomed by the throw
 ing of shuttles, he designed and il
 stalled the mechanism which stil
 automatically, performs that work
 thereby largely increasing the pro
 ductive capacity of all weaving ms
 chimes. Unlike present day inventor
 of rat traps and similar useful m'
 chanical devices, he overlooked tl
 patent office, being more intent 0
 exemplifying his art than extendin
 his pocket-book. Possibly cardii

''For many years, as Editor ana FropIie1 Eor of the Pine Plains, N. Y., Herald, l have advertised Dr. David Kennedy's Fa- vorite Remedy.

The Underwood bill may not be entirely

drawing it devolved upon him he might
have presented something different. He

But the Speaker is good party man,

job Hedges, the republican candidate
for Governor Of New York last year, is
in London. and in an interview discusses
the American political situation. He
thinks Mr.. Wilson Is showing himself to
be both the leader and the master Of the
democratic party, and will hold it to its
platform promises.
AS to the tariff, Mr.. Hedges, who is a
revision justifies itself. the republican
party will have to change it's platform.
If it did. would that change serve to
restorelh to power? Hardly. If the dem
ocrats make good on the tariff, they are
likely TO retain power while the tariff
remains uppermost as a national issue.
The old party Of protection could not hope
simply by shifting ground on the tariff
to outbid the democracy for votes on the
tariff issue
But even II for q time the republicans
should be COMPOUNDED on their tariff con-
tention they would not be hopeless. The
democracy in full control has other bust

be on trial for It's performances as to
that business.

Suppose its Philippine policy adds to un.

course toward conservation fails OF in

All these issues are important. A failure
IN dealing with any one Of them might
cause much discomfort. A failure in all
would be likely to cost the democracy

With the enormous growth Of popula-

automobiles and other modern methods
of travel the question Of safety in the
streets Is becoming a serious one. Here
in Philadelphia we have adopted up-to-

but with each succeeding year new prob
lens arise that tax the energies and the
ingenuity OF the department Of public
safety. The safety zones that have been
established In the business sections are
like SO many Gases in the desert for the
timid and fiurried pedestrians. But these
zones must be constantly enlarged and
new ones created in other districts. In
New York the authorities are kept busy
devising new means to At changing con-
ditions. Fifth avenue, for instance. still
fingers in the minds of some persons as
a residential thoroughfare, yet business
has encroached on that street to such
an extent as to demand special attention
from those who look after the lives and
limbs of the people. Consequently,

that once exclusive avenue.

Country Roads.
From the Springfield Republican.

The chief results Of the holiday of
roadmaking recently promoted by the
Governor of Missouri are likely to be
indirect. After having toiled and
sweated in the sun those who took
part will doubtless have a stronger In
terest in supporting good roads legis-
lation, whether or not they are as keen
to take part in the actual labor another
year. But, while the Missouri roads
may have received large temporary re-
pairs and improvements. such holi-
day, no matter how many participate
n it. can hardly accomplish much in
And 1T Is permanent road making OF
which the country stands In need.
Without depreciating the Missouri per-
Torrance it may DO recalled that the
Romans. the greatest road makers the
world has known, did not do their work
in spasmodic festivals: the roads that
they built to last for centuries were
built slowly and labo.iously.
