NEW YORK'S GREATNESS.


Chicago is next to New York in
magnitude and Importance as bust
ness center but just now close 1t is
to the greatest city on this side Of the
Atlantic ocean or rather how much
greater New York is in comparison
may be surmissed from the fact that
in the four years ending in 1910 the
money expended here on new build
ings was more than the assessed value
Of the entire western city. In these
four years more than $3.50, 900, 900 was
put into new construction In Manhat-
tan borough alone. The assessed value
of the Windy City in 1910 was 1884,
100000, or $40,000,000 less than the
cost Of four years building cam.
paign in Manhattan. The difference
it was estimated at the time, was
equal to the realty value Of town the
size Of Lawrence, Mass, or Portland
the chief city in Maine. Last year,
building operations in Manhattan, tn,
Bronx, Brooklyn and Queens totallet
nearly 10000 structures costing NOR,
than $205, 900, ,000.--New York Sun.

IMPERsONAL JOURNALISM.


The managing editor Of the New
York Sun, Chester S. Lord, retires
after forty years in various capaci-
ties with that paper, says the Omaha
Bee. Another New York newspaper
observes that "Mr. Lord has long been
known as one Of the most skilled and
successful managing editors" 1t
would be impossible to approximate
the power Of his paper in those forty
years, but it was very great, and in
later years especially Mr.. Lord must
have had vital part in it, for man.
aging editors of metropolitan news
papers cannot avoid the exercise of
far-reaching influence.
Yet, outside of restricted circle
of acquaintance, who ever heard of
Chester S. Lord? The congressman,
the governor, the ward politician, the
baseball hero, the champion wrestler,
the merchant prince--all these may
become national characters, but who
knows this man sitting with his finger
tips upon the pulse of the world behind
the walls of newspaper office, maxi
ing and unmaking congressman, gov
ernors, If not presidents? Charles A.
Dana, the late illustrious editor of the
Sun, belonged to the day of personal
journalism, and there are compara-
lively few conspicuous figures in the
field of impersonal Journalism, but not
many. Personalities are sunk-not
lost--in the newspaper today, and. as
rule, outside Of the sport writer's,
very few editors ever as much as get
their names in their own papers. But
they get their influence there and ex-
tend 1t far into the domain of public
life, much further than that of most
men can hope to reach.
The newspaper man who adheres
closely to the task of newspaper-nlak-
ing must look for his reward in some
thing besides personal fame, for which
naturally, he comes to care very lit

DURANGo's NEW DEAN.

The vestry of st. Matthews Episco-
pal church was surprised and regret
full last evening at their regular
meeting to receive the resignation Of
Rev. F. c. Smith. The resignation
will be effective on Easter and he will
assume his duties as rural dean of
southwestern Colorado on March 80.
His headquarters will be at Durango.
As dean at Durango he will be the
personal representative of Bishop
brewster and will have charge and
visit the churches in nearly score
of towns in southwestern Colorado
and northern New Mexico. The most
Important towns on his list will be
Durango Telluride, Silverton, Man
COS, Pennington, ~ NJ, and in addi-
tion to these he will look after tho
interests of the church in Cortez, Rico
Fagosa Springs, Hesperus and many
other of the smaller towns. His work
will extend throughout all of the
southern half of the diocese of west
ern Colorado.
He was selected by the bishop as
the man best fitted for this work and
while his friends will rejoice at mis-
mer'ted promotion it is with deepest
regret that they bear his loss from
.he local pastorate. Rev. Smith came
here two years ago from Trinity
church in Pocatello. During his tive
years he has been ever faithful and
loyal to his charge and has built ;ir
large and loyal circle of friends no,
oaly in his own church but outsid.
His loss will be felt by the entir'
community as well as his own congre
gaticn.
The vestry was loath to accept hi
resignation last evening, but in view
of the DECIDED promotion which Il
Rev. Smiths they did not feel justi
fed in insisting that he remain here
No idea is entertained as to who Rev
Smiths successor will be.
Mrs. Smith and family will no
move to Durango probably until tn
end of the school year and Rev. Smitl
will make frequent trips to Crane
Junction after taking up his new du
tiss.--Grand Junction News.

LEGISLATIVE FREAKS.

As it would be unfair to hold any.
thing else responsible, it must be the
itch for notoriety that prompts the
legislators weird vagaries and wild
hallucinations which he attempts to
fledge into statutes at the expense
of a patient, paying public.
A quartet of measures from as
many states give fair idea of the
far reaches of legislative fancy and
the distances lawmakers travel to win
morsel of publicity:
A solon from Missouri back county
would compel lobbyists to wear green
uniforms, cut in ludicrous fashion,
with gilt buttons and braid, la
flunky or comic opera boffoon.
In New York legislator was de-
livered of revelation in which he
could see, as a result of his proposed
bill, public hand-shaker, paid $4,000
year, with $4,000 for travelling ex-
penses, to go about giving the moist,
warm clasp to cheering proletariat.
If profound thinker in Massachu-
setts has his way all proposals of
marriage will be made in writing, ac-
ceptance or rejection of said pro-
posal in ditto form, and Cupid will
hereafter be reared on an ink bottle.
Minnesota's legislators thoughtfully
ponder the flighty scheme to make it
felony for housewife to coax, steal
or lure away the maid or man servant
of another.
In Colorado the proposed measures
seek to regulate everything from the
number of doughnuts a cook shall be
expected to twist in one week to the
speed at which pedestrian shall turn
a corner; from the size of drink to
that of an engine headlight. With
over 1000 bills introduced no ques-
ton now before society could have
been ignored.
Such conditions can only arise from
the legislators desire to have some
thing to show in the way of adopted
laws when he gets back home; few
newspaper clippings concerning his
visionary conceits and the harangues
he delivered to display to an awed
and gaping constituency. From his
viewpoint, if he should by any chance
find everything right with the laws,
he would be eternally ruined.-Denver

THEY PRAY FOR RAIN.

When it rains between the recog-
nized business hours from 8 a. m.
to 6 p. m. the peddlers who sell um-
brellas for SO cents each hustle down
town as quickly as possible to obtain
coveted positions on street corners
where stream of pedestrians con-
stantly flows past.
While hundreds of people caught
without umbrellas are silently reciting
a prayer that the rain will cease long
enough at least for them to get to
their destination the umbrella peddlers
are praying that the rain will con-
tinue SO that they can reap their
harvest.
Many Of the umbrella peddle-s come
from the lower east side but some Of
them come from further away and il
the rain ceases about the time they
arrive at their objective points there is
gnashjng Of teeth. Some OF the ped
dlers bundle up their stock and seek a
place where they can wait for time.
praying that the rain will again be-
gin. II park is convenient they go
