rances of the Week.

Corporation Counsel Sexton sent to
Alderman Eugene Block, chairman of
the local transportation committee,
an opinion holding that the surface
railway companies Of Chicago must
pay their fines for violations of the
city code out Of the 45 per cent of the
net receipts of the company after the
citys IS per cent has been deducted.
Chicago schools will have $11,329,.
662.41 to defray their expenses during
the current year. That was the
amount fixed by the board of educa-
ton, sitting as a committee of the
whole, to consider the 1913 budget
It may be changed, however, before
the final decision is made.
This is an increase of $256,O0O over
the figure first decided upon as the
amount to be appropriated, when Mrs.
Ella Flagg Young, superintendent Of
schools, outlined the needs of the
educational department. This amount
does not include that which may be
used for buildings and grounds and
which has not been taken up as yet.

CURRENT COMMENT
Senate for Free Sugar.

Now that the Senate has voted for
free sugar in 1915, with gradual re.
duetion in the duty in the next two
years, it is plain that the administers
tion's tariff plans are safe. The free
sugar item was considered the weakest
part of the Democratic program; that
is. its chances of adoption were eonsid.
cred as more or less doubtful. But now
that favorable action has been taken,
it looks as if free wool would also be
Endorsed. and that anything else Presi-
dent Wilson fayors viii be incorporated
in the law,
The sugar vote is significant. Beet
sugar is produced in large quantities by
a number of western states, and it,would
have been no surprise II the Louisiana
bolt had attracted supporters out there.
But the western Democrats senators are
too loyal to the president and their
party to think kof combating the adj
ministration. In the meantime the pro-
gram for lower duties and for an ex-
tended free list progresses, and for this
we should be grateful Boston Globe.

Sherlock Has a Rival.

Sherlock Holmes has been beaten at
last and by country deputy sheriff
from Coos county. N. III. Sherlock, fol.
lowed closely by DIR. Watson, was fast
tracing out the itinerary of Harry Thaw
by the aid Of an imprint of a cut in
the rear right hand wheel OF Thaw's
automobile, and was almost certain of
his quarry by the teethmarks left in a
half ham sandwich that Harry
carelessly discarded in his fight. In a
few more hours Thaw would have been
cornered and Sherlock would have done
the trick once more. But rural deputy
by simple twist of questioning jaw
and the flash OF a cross roads eyebali,
beat Sherlock out.
1t was a sure enough Yankee in the
person Of Burleigh II. kelsea who nailed
the fugitive. After Thaw was in the
country lookup Kelses wired the New
York authorities OF his success and
claimed the $500 reward. This prompt
act proves that he is a genuine Yankee.
The detectives of four states who might
have intercepted Thaw should take OF
their hats to Kelsea. But they won't
and Kelsea won't care if they don't, pro-
vided he gets the five hundred. The
time, the place and the reward always
appeal to genuine Yankee Boston

THAT MIX. UP.n

There IS much talk among the dele
gates to the convention about the mix
up over the Quincy and Barre day and
everybody regrets that the misunder'
standing should have taken place. There
are of course some who will accept the
invitation to Barre, for aside from the
special train, looking good to them there
are many doubtless who have work UNI
der way at Barre, who will take the
opportunity to see how things are get
ting one.
There has been an active campaign on
ever since the convention opened to get
delegates to register in favor of Quincy.
The Quincy association have registration
slips, and every member of the associa-
ton has constituted himself commit
tee of one to get delegates to register
Quincy Mass Ledger, Of Aug. 81.
No one regrets the "mix-up' more
than do the people of Barre, but mas
much as Barre months ago Thy the way,
long before Quincy startedl had insti-
tuted plans for the entertainment OF
the delegates to the retail monument
dealers convention, when it should meet
in Boston, the Barre committees could
not see wherein they were called upon
to cancel their arrangements, or even
defer them. The Quincy project to have
day set apart for entertainment at
Quincy was started after member of
the Quincy association had come to Barre
and heard of the plans being made here,

A BODYBUILDING BEE.

The public spirit shown by a large
section of the population of the state
Of Missouri in abandoning their private
interests for two days and devoting their
time and energies toward building per-
manent highways throughout that state
is unprecedented in the United States
because of the number engaged in the
work, there having been as many as
100000, it is estimated. They included
business men as well as farmers and
they duffed into the work with the gusto
which goes with enthusiasm in good
cause even though all OF them didn't
have the same amount OF muscle to ex-
ercise in the manual labor. If the vol
unteer army of road builders We're I'M
der competent supervision in all cases a
great deal of good must have been ac-
complished, for an army of quarter OF
a million eager workers can do much
when directed in the proper manner
Reports say that what they accom-
plished would have cost the state i'll
round figures a million and one-half dol
lars, and one can imagine that those fig
ures are conservative.
With this example before them, other
states, hard put to it in their efforts to
secure better roads, might turn out their
armies of citizens, put them under skilled
, road makers and set them to work it
would be a good thing for the highways
of state and it would be fine thing
for depleted treasures which are being
constantly drained by the demands for
other departments of administration so
that they cannot expend the amount OF
money which they ought to spend on
The Barre daily times. (Barre, Vt.) 1897-1959, 1913-08-23
Heaven.

Edmund Vance Cooke, of Cleveland,
o., writes as follows, about heaven an
the August American Magazine:
Now, Heaven was once an upper fiat
with "Credo" on the front door mat
Wherein the saints serenely sat,
Each with a halo for hat.
Each sang his bliss without alloy,
Each sang his most ecstatic joy,
Knowing the engine-room was damned
With legions of the suffering damned.
Such Heaven was. What Heaven is now
Heaven only knows, but anyhow
We may not criticize, because
Earth still is run as Heaven was.
Some live like Heaven and idly shirk;
Some live like He'll and do the work.
Is that profanity? Good sooth,
l wish it were. It's worse; it's truth!
VIII Heaven offer a solace, then,
For all these miseries of menf
Not so; Heavens made as you and /
Improve this world we occupy.
Heavens an effect, and not a cause,
And subject to the eternal laws.
The higher's builded on the lower,
Was, is and shall be overmore.
The primary pupils simply knowledge
Is the foundation of the college;
SO, TO make Heaven of higher worth,
Come on let's make better Earth.
