Street Name Tablets.
From the Buffalo News.

From the Buffalo News.
Some American cities are beginning
to feel that it is worth while to put up
tablets showing the names Of the
streets and the origin of the names,
1t is an indication that a spirit of re-
gard for the past as well as of pride
is rising in the public mind wherever
that policy is pursued. If charity be-
gins at home. it is even more true that
patriotism begins at the same place.
Love of country naturally begins with
the love of ones own city and also with
love Of that part of city in which
one may live. At any rate, it is an ad-
mirable thing when the youth of our
city are curious about the origin Of the
names of streets and want to know
what is the occasion for giving them
the names they bear, especially when
they are names of persons. 1t is an ad-
mirable instruction in the conduct of
life to know that citizens have per-
formed some service of value and in
consequence have been rewarded by
having streets named for Them There
are many cases, no doubt. where men
in Office for the time have had their
names given to new streets.

The Eternal Masculine.

The trait called vanity is not consider
ed masculine;
Yet did you ever watch a barber s
chair
And see how every occupant is trying
to look fine
And showing much concern about his
hair?
Into the mirror each will cast a half
approving glance,
Which presently is tinged with mild
regret.
No man is quite so homely that he
thinks there is no chance
That maybe he will be good-looking
yet.
No doubt, if one of them attained the
beauty and the grace
Which in the tailors' advertising
grow,
He'd go and get a shotgun, look it
squarely in the face,
And deity pull the trigger with his
toe.
Yet the fascination fingers and he
hopes the changing style

And, somehow, he will be cookbook.
ing yet.
His legs may be quite crooked and too
lengthy in the shank:
His face look something like an old
valise;
His waistline may be very like a bar
rel or tank,
And his hair may be hectic bunch
of fleece.
But, just the same he holds his nerve
and buys jaunty hat
And totes cane and smokes a cigar
cite.
And whether he keeps getting far too
thin or far too fat,
He hopes somehow to be good BLOCKING

Swindling and the Mails.
From the New York Commercial.

From the New York Commercial.
The extension of the mail service in
the. rural districts of this country has
given impetus to schemes for the
separation of tina farmer and his cash,
according to prominent farm journals.
So attractive is the opportunity afford
ed by the cheap and effective postal
facilities for takers of all descriptions,
that the Post Office Departments de-
tective service is kept busy all the
year round thwarting frauds and oeca-
sionally sending them through the
federal judiciary mill to ultimate terms
in the penitentiary. Swindling opera
lions through the mails range from the
sale of fake insurance policies and
stock, gambling bucket shop opera
lions and the sale of alleged de luxe
editions of books down the line to
petty lottery fakes and the sale Of nos
trums for the cure of all bodily ills.

lician capital has actually begun. with
a heavy Russian bombardment.
Conflicting reports have been received
respecting the fighting in the Carpa-
thians, the Russians claiming successes
there. with the Austrians contending
that the Russians have been defeated
in the mountain passes. A report as
yet unexplained has noted the arrival
of fifteen Russian regiments in Servia
by way of the Danube. a course which
would neceseitate passage through
Roumania and Bulgaria.
In the west no changes have occurred
during the past week. From time to
time reports have come Of renewed
German offensive action in Flanders
and northern France, and also of
operations indicative of assumption of
the offensive by the allies. But these
reports are all confused and the week
opens without any clear understanding
of the exact situation in this campaign.

the British contending that it was in

German sources comes the statement
that the Bulwark was destroyed by d

Considering that it was the uncon-
cealed expectation of the German gen.
eral staf at the outbreak of the war
to reach Paris in six weeks. the fact
that the fifth month is now about to
open without the attainment by the
kaiser's armies of any definite or val
liable objective beyond the occupation
of Belgium is highly significant. 1t
is true that the fighting is now being
waged almost exclusively on non

The Absentee.

Mr.. Roosevelt will not attend the bull
moose pow-wow at Chicago Wednesday
His reasons are his own. He will give
them out in his own time and way. He
usually has a reason for whatever he
docs Impulsive, and not fnfrequently
hamboyant, he yet calculates closely when
the situation calls for it
The present situation appears to call for
calculation Bull moosery is at low ebb.
In some sections it has dwindled to very
small proportions In others it has dis
appeared. In none does it even suggest
the strength manifested two years ago.
Is it worth while to continue the move
ment? That is the question scheduled Tor
Chicago. AS prominent man in the
movement as Amos Pinchot thinks not
He has had enough. Not that he regrets
what he has done. or thinks he was wrong
in the opinions which steered him into the
bull moose camp. but because he thinks
the movement. owing to mismanagement.
has failed. and is without future. The
trusts did give to it, and it did eat. What
is the use of trying to regenerate trust
ridden country with trust funds?
But there are bull moosers as prominent
as Mr.. Pinchot who think otherwise.
They declare they have just begun to
fight They deny that the result Of the
Sd instant was a knockout blow. They
are willing to give of their time and means
to continue what has been begun
Some of these men have means They
possess large wealth and credit. and are
not niggardly in contributing to causes
that appeal to them. 1t will be easily
within their power to finance cohtinu-
alton of bull moosery, if, in their opinion,
a further investment is promising.
What of the effect of the Chicago de-
cision on Mr.. Roosevelt's presidential as
pirations and plans? If bull moosery is
continued he will, of course. continue to
lead it He called the party into ex-
istence. has impressed his personality on
it, and in the public estimation he alone
stands for it. He could not if he would
transfer his power to another.
But is it at all likely that if bull
moosery comes to an end now, Mr.. Roose-
velts eyes will be withdrawn from the
White House? What more unlikely? He
will try something else. He knows politics
thoroughly. and Is a politician of many
resources. He keeps his attention fixed
on the game. As new issues arise he
weighs them, and adopts such as he likes.
A good deal is afoot these days; and
what he can capture and bend to his
uses he is certain to go after. While
he lives we shall have Mr.. Roosevelt
with US in politics, for agitation purposes
II nothing else.

with as little politics as possible IN
troduced for seasoning.
At the long session Congress set the
pegs for appropriations. They were
the largest ever. And yet the democ-
racy had obtained power partly on the
charge that the republicans had been
wasteful, and on the promise that they
would be careful and economical.
They found. to use a curbstone ex-
preston, that the joke was on them.
The enormous waste they had charged
had never taken place. Hence the
enormous savings promised could not
be made.
A plain problem was before them,
and had to be met. The government
must have it's supplies, and they must
SQUARE with the governments needs
To skimp Uncle Sam was out OF the
question.
Confused by finding itself over
pledged in one direction, the majority
erred by going too far in. the other.
In avoiding the role of cheeseparer it
enacted that of Prince Bountiful. 1t
sowed the revenues with too liberal
hand. and incurred a good deal Of just
criticism.
But that is past and gone. The
present problem has to do with the
future, not the past To make the
future pay for past folly would be an
other folly And two follies do not
make wisdom.
This is a big country. Voters who
do not examine the estimates item by
item have no conception of how enor-
nous an establishment ours is. 1t could
not be run except at heavy loss on in
adequate allowances. Juggling with
the figures for political purposes should
not for a moment be considered. There
are no votes in that sort of thing. 1t
Is easily exposed, and when exposed
1t puts the authors at a disadvantage.
Simply because the appropriations OF
the long session were unprecedent-
eddy large is no reason why those OF
the short session should be unprece-
dentedly small. The government should
be well provided for at all times. All
parties are proud of it, and all should
assist in working for its support and
advancement. At this time In par
ticular, when a sort of world upheaval
| is changing our relations with outside
powers and theirs with US, every dol
| lar necessary to put US In the proper
| shape and keep us there should be
gladly voted. The people will not OBJ
| ject to an outlay. however large, that
| Is demanded by the occasion.

David Lloyd George told the British
house of commons that England had
been unable to collect a debt of s5.0O0,-
100000 owed by the United states
which was really figure of speech,
for what the chancellor of the ex-
chequer meant was that England has
been unable to sell that amount OF
American property owned by it. Which
makes quite a difference.

Thief HAS BAD CHANCE
Wireless and Flying Boat Cause Hin
to Lose Booty.

New York, March 2.-Located by
wireless and captured by q flying boat
owned by John d. Rockefeller's son-in-
law, IL what happened to John Gull
ford. a West Indian negro accused OF
theft.
The story is told in a dispatch receiv-
ed by the Aero club.
New York society woman at the
Royal Palm hotel at Miami, Fla, had
been robbed of a valuable brooch. Gull
ford. VINO has been employed at the
hotel, was seen spending a good deal
Of money. He disappeared BY wire
less he was located on board the steam
ship Miami bound for Nassau.
The Miami was 21- miles out. Harold
F. McCormick's hydroaeroplane Edith
operated by Charles C. Wilmer was In
the harbor. The Edith" holds six pas
sengers. Wilmer offered his services.
Detective Schade hoped aboard. With
in an hour they were alongside the
Miami. The sea was calm, the negro
offered no resistance and he was given
a free ride back to Miami.
The Edith" is named after Mr..
Rockefeller's daughter, whose husband
owns the boat.
Miami, Fla, March 24.-The facts tel
egraphed to the Aero club, about the
chase OF a thief in Harold r. McCor-
mfck's flying boat Edith are all right
except that the thief was not arrested.
When the Miami was overhauled she
was outside of the three mile limit.
The detective therefore could not make
an arrest but the stolen brooch was
found In the negro's possession and ta-
ken from him.
