Notes of the OaY.

More than 500 autos passed through
the gates of the Fair Grounds after
the fireworks last night, or, to be more
exact, 463 automobiles and SO horse
drawn vehicles, by actual count. And
it took only 18 minutes for the grounds
to dsgorge those 526 vehicles, and the
time was by actual count, too.
A member of the fire department
was stationed at each gate and count
ed the autos and other equipages as
they passed through.
Three thousand persons seated in
autos and two-thirds that number sat
and stood about the grounds and
watched the fireworks, it is estimated.
Brush Fires.
Rockets that scared into the air and
then fell with still little fire smol-
dering in them, caused 2 brush fires

Both blazes were subdued before any
damage was occasioned.

RETRENCHMENT THAT HURTS.
(Fort WAYNE NeWs)

We Americans have become so ac-
customed to high grade passenger SER
vice from the railroads of our country
that we are prone to consider all the
accessories of transportation as part
Of our just due and to demur If the
latest novelties in the way of convent
ence and comfort are not presented
for our delectation. We quite over
look the fact that the railraod COM
panies are not in any sense obligated
to do much that they do do, and TO
forget, if we ever knew. that the quail
ity of passenger service in this country
far surpasses that of any other nation
in the whole world. Here of late,
however, the burdens which an incon-
siderate people (resentful because of
the abuses of few railroad manipu-
lators) have visited upon all railroad
companies, have forced these organi-
cations TO submit their properties to
a vigorous policy of retrenchment
Many passenger trains have been
taken off entirely and many others are
operating with a much more modest
equipment than in former years
However, this pairing of expense has
not effected the necessary saving ana
it is known that still other curtail-
ment in the service is under contem-
plation For example, we hear that
the railroad managers are seriously
considering the advisability of discon-
tinuing the time hOnored custom or
carrying baggage free. There is no
obligation of this sort incident to pas
senger transportation except as rivalry
has ordained it and should all the
roads agree TO discontinue the prac-
tice as one Of those unnecessary eX-
psnses" so harped upon by the inter
state commerce commission, the pub
lie would be absolutely helpless TO pre-
serve this ancient privilege. The eX-
press companies very naturally would
take this feature Of the business over
and as a consequence the cos OF
travel would be materially increased.
There is no free hauling of trunks
upon the European railroads and, for
that matter, the amount of hand lug
gage allowed is quite limited. The
free transportation of baggage is an
American institution strictly and is q
gratuity that had its birth in the ad-
yertising incident TO keen competition.
Yet it is now so thoroughly a part of
our passenger business that a mere
suggestion OF its elimination wrenches
our souls. The fact is that a great
portion of the so-called extravaganza
Of railroads has been expended upon
providing a service that has looked to
the comfort, convenience, and financial
saving Of the patrons of the railroads
No doubt our railroads can be oper-
ated much more cheaply than they
are operated at present but when this
retrenchment policy becomes effective
We shall miss many pleasant features
Of travel which we now accept as a
matter OF course And we shall grum-
BILE nightly at the change, too, long
ing for a return of the old regime.

the Society for the Prevention of

The incident serves as a suggestion
that what is needed is a Society for

changes in the histrionic art With
the diseounting OF the actors elocu-
tionary ability has come ever greater
emphasis on his physical agility.

realism OF the modern movie film. All
the devices Of the old-time melodrama

Now that volunteering has become
the fashion. the amateur wireless en-
thusiasts are rushing to the defense
OF the nation. A National Amateur
Wireless association has been organ
lied with the express purpose OF train
ing and lining up all the amateurs in
the country against the time of need.
There are said 10 be zoos Of them.
It's an excellent thing for young
Americans to take a practical interest
in so fascinating science. but the very
intensity Of their interest might be a
disadvantage In war time The ma
ton will hardly need 100000 wireless
operators in any emergency likely TO
arise in the next hundred years. It
will hardly need 10 per cent of that
number. possibly not more than one
per cent in addition 10 the regular
operators of the army and navy and
the professionals who may be pressed
into service from the commercial
wireless companies.
Multiplying the number OF wireless
experiments leads 70 confusion. There
IS already considerable confusion in
the transmission OF wireless messages
IN this country.
In spite of the official licensing re-
strictions and the tuning of wireless
instruments. the amateurs manage to
catch important private and official
messages out OF the ether and intrude
with their own messages TO the an
noyance OF legitimate commercial and
governmental business. In time OF
war 1t would be necessary TO bring
the amateurs under very strict con-
troll.

Tom Johnson. famous for years as
the "three-cent-fare mayor of Cleve-

with conspicuous success. Johnson
was a tireless worker. In campaign
time he worked literally day and
night, wearing out all his subordi-
mates. His energy seemed inexhaust-
ible. But every afternoon, after lunch,
Johnson would turn all the political
hangers-on out of his office, pull down
the window shades, stretch his port
ly frame on an old couch and drop
off to sleep while his secretary stood
guard outside. In about 20 minutes
he was ready for another II hours

Now they say the habit is becoming
general in Wall St, and there are big
business and professional men in
every city in the country who take
their after-lunch maps unashamed.
And it's a curious coincidence that
they're generally the men that get
the best of a deal-particularly in
the afternoon, when they're fresh as
daisies and the men they're dealing
with are tired. They live longer, too,
as a rule And they don't have nerv-
