Mr.. Jackson believes that the good
citizens of the town should have
themselves sworn in as special officers
and in every way cooperate with the
city authorities in the suppression of
the speeders. He argues calmly and
cogently, and proves his faith by his
works in bearing a commission as spe-
cial officer.
Judge lAbernethy speaks squarely to
the point. "Jail or hard labor SEN
tences," he says. at has been proven
that the imposition of fines does not
diminish the evil"
Judge Abernethy speaks by the
card. He has had long experience in
attempting to minimize infractions of
the law.
His seems to be the proper solution
of a problem that has become vital
one. Let there be heavy sentences,
with the distinct understanding that

vent the carrying out of the punish

The Sherbrooke Meal Ticket

Is the willy Jerome, by one shrewd
move, to filch Sherbrooke's meal tick
ct and shove that now wildly heralded
village back into the black obscurity
from which it sprang? Thaw's
nemesis believes that he has found a
legal way whereby an early hearing
of the fugitive can be forced with the
result that he will be returned to the
United States. If Mr.. Jerome is cor
rect, there will be wailing and gnash-
ing of teeth in Sherbrooke.
Harry Thaw is popular in Sher-
brooke. He is, as the New World OBJ
serves, meal ticket for the Canadian
village, as he has long been to thrifty
souls in New York, Albany and Mat
teawan. Sherbrooke huns, says the
World. Money flows into it to buy
eloquence and silence. The town is
full of police, detectives, immigration
officers, lawyers, alienists, reporters,
artists, photographers, magazine men,
stenographers, clerks, telegraphers,
fortune tellers and plain cranks, not
to speak of drummers, tourists and
people of the province who find ex-
cuses to be present. All these must
be fed and lodged at price; their
thirst must be assuaged, and Canada
prides itself upon the wherewithal.
Babylon burgeoned and burst; Troy
lowered and tottered Greece gloried
and gasped; Rome rose and receded.
Sherbrooke's fame has come with the
suddenness of the sun breaking
through a cloud; it may depart with
the celebrity of the lightning's flash.
The news from Pittsburg that the
trustees of Thaw's property look with
disfavor upon paying out good Ameri-
can dollars for attempted perversion
of Canadian law may hasten Sher-
brooke's eclipse. But a short life and
merry one is greatly to be preferred

A Municipal Record

Few documents of municipal bearing
that have appeared in recent years have
surpassed in interest the pamphlet ad-
dressed to the people of Birmingham and
issued by ex-Mayor George B. Ward,
now candidate for president of the city
commission. In this pamphlet Mr. Ward
reproduces his report to the city council
in April, 1909, shortly before he retired
from the office of mayor after service
of four years.
In his short, crisp address Mr.. Ward
says among other things:
."rhe city of Birmingham is in magni-
fcent shape for future municipal york.
1.-THE foundation is well laid and the
scope unlimited.
with over $4,000 acres it ranks No. 15
in area among the cities of the United
States. 1t takes precedence over such
great centers of population as Boston,
Cleveland, Baltimore, Pittsburg, Detroit,
Buffalo and Indianapolis. 1t has nearly
twice the area of Atlanta, with it's 1900
acres.

THE income of the city was not in
creased anything like in proportion to its
new obligations and new territory. There
fore, the great problem before this COM
munity today is permanent solution of
it's financial difficulties. When that ques-
ton is solved most of the city's minor
problems will dissolve and disappear.
THE general public, as well as many
semi-public associations are now giving
serious thought to this matter. Out of
this discussion will certainly come some
wise plan that will place the city on a
stable financial basis.
"These plans should and will be SUBJ
mitted to the people. for consideration"

In the September American Magazine
appears an article about Mrs. Caro-
- line Bartlett Crane, who is a profess
sional Municipal Sanitarian." She is
hired by cities, which gladly pay her 800
a day for her services, furnish funds for
all expenses, a secretary, automobiles,
theatres and halls for meetings, official
authority to conduct her Investigations,
and an escort to accompany her. Fifty
two cities in the United States have al
ready hired her. She calls her visits,
Sanitary Surveys" When city desires
her services it calls upon her as a pro-
fessional municipal expert, and places the
keys of the municipality at her disposal.
She personally investigates the city's re-
sources. and everything that concerns
community life. She stirs up public opin-
ion, and in this manner makes her work
effective. The following extract from the
article gives some idea of the results
of her work:
''The practical results of Mrs. Cranes
