THE WORLD DO MOVE

CONSIDER how things jump along in the old
~ world. Within the memory OF living men these
things have happened:
The telegraph was invented and is one Of our
great business enterprises
Over the telephone wire we do business and
gossip
We travel by the engineess, horselesS trolley
car.
That murderer, the submarine, is terrorizing
the world.
We have guns that shoot IS miles and smash
the bulSeye
That wonder the aeropane buzzeS over
peaceful lands and battlefieds
Great drigible balloons soar in the skies
We telegraph without wires, and soon will
talk long distances that way.
The automobile whizzes here and there
fine convenience and useful so long as sensible
persons guide it.
Our great West has been developed
We have learned that Alaska is no unin-
habitable country, but will prove great mining
industrial and farming district.
Soon the Philippines will become republic
Women votel
China, sleeping these past 5000 years has
become a republic
Japan modernzed, is become almost as wicked
and graSping as the rest of civilization"
Cuba democracy.
Mexico trying to swim out Of the whirlpool
Of trouble into still waters.

THE CITY'S DOLLAR-HUNTING
LAWYERS

n ORPORATlON COUNSEL BRADFORD is
~ laboring under an impression that some po-
cal interest opposed to him has inspired The
Star to attack the system of private law practice
among his deputies
There is absolutely nothing to it,
The Star is not party to any political
intrigue of this sort.
For the most part, The Star has nothing but
the highest praise for Mr.. BradfordS work as cor
poraton counsel. Personally, Bradford is an ex-
ceent official.
II is interesting to observe that Mr.. Bradford
offers no excuse for private law practice among his
deputies beyond asserting that il has always been
tolerated.
Precedent, If wrong, is not of itself any ex-
cuSe, and progressive of the type OF Corporation
Counsel Bradford ought to realize ii.
The Star is guided by no other motive in show
ing up what it believes is wrong practice in the
corporation counSelS office except desire to ele
vate city service
Firemen, policemen and others are not per-
mted to pursue gainful occupations, even after
work hours and the same rule should apply to the
city'S attorneys.

STEINER BRoS!' COPPER
 MINE PROSPECTS BRIGHT
Norwich Men Much Encouraged by
 Recent Assays of Ore.

A Norwich visitor to the Joconfb mines, Westcliffe, Colorado, owned and being developed by the company of which John G. Steiner of Norwich, is president, and Henry J. Steiner, his brother, treasurer, sends home a most interesting account of work and pro- gress there.
 All assays of the ore are most en- coGraging and old miners assure the young tenderfoot prospectors from Connecticut that they have not labor ed in vain, but are in line to make a -hig success of the development of their property.
 The situation of the mine is favor able in every respect the young men are working on steadily, hopefully and perseveringly and 1t begins to look now as though there was truth in the prediction of a New York paper which. referring to this mine some time ago, declared that the Steiner boys seemed to stand a first class chance Of eventually being copper kings.
