A VOICE TO BE HEEDED.

There is respectable authority on the
condition and needs of the United States navy than
Admiral Fletcher, who views this of national
defense not only in the light of its development
during the past two decades, but in that of what
must still be done to bring it up to the modern
standard.
Admiral Fletcher is aarmist. He is not
among those who have shown a disposition to treat
our naval forces with contempt. On the contrary,
he has repeatedly expressed the opinion that it would
give good account of itself in the event of war.
But his report the merits and defects of the
Atlantic fleet, while asserting that it is better
balanced and showing credtable target practise
than before, points out serious shortage of
officers enlisted men, fast cruisers aircraft anti
aircraft guns, mining and sweeping vessels and
seagong submarines. 1t is thoroughly temperate
plea for a strengthening of the fleet along lines
dictated by the lessons of the great conflict in
progress in the old world

NEW NEWS OF YESTERDAY
When Thurlow Weed SIN oked Two Cigars at Once

zone of his confidential agents
rushed into the room and could
hardly hold his breath long enough
to say that Greeley was ahead of
EVarts on the second ballot and on
the third ballot was likely to be nom
mated. Then happened a thing so
comical that ii was long after spoken
of as one of the most amusing things
associated with State politics. Thur
low Weed was smoking a cigar when
this man came in to tell him that Hor-
ace Greeley would probably be nomi-
mated on the next ballot. Weed was
so excited in this crisis that although
he was already smoking one cigar he
took a second one from his pocket,
put it in his mouth and lighted it,
and in that manner was smoking two
cigars at the same time. After the
first puff of the second cigar, he told
his man to go instantly to the caucus
room and privately tell the members
of the legislature who were support
ing Eyarts to abandon him and to
throw their support to Ira Harris on
the next ballot. Weed was still so
absent minded and so absorbed that
he continued to smoke the two cigars
until his man returned to bring the
announcement that Ira Harris had
been nominated because the Evarts
men went in a body to his support.
In that way, Horace Greeley was de-
feated for election as United States
Senator, and not until ThurlOw Weed
knew Greeley was defeated did he
realize that he was smoking two
cigars

Too Much Begging.
the Hnrtfnrd En1Irnnt

FROM the Hartford Courant.
The sympathetic people of the
United States had certainly supposed
that the interests of the suffering
Belgians We're being fully looked after
here. Able committees of known and
trusted citizens have been organized
and their appeals have been literally
answered.
But here comes the notorious Mrs.
Pankhurst from England ito collect
money for the destitute Serbians." "
She is accompanied by Cheddomil
Miyatovich, Serbian secretary of state
for foreign affairs. Incidentally Mrs.
Pankhurst takes occasion to notify
the American public that "the cause
of the allies is tied up with the cause
of women"
That is altogether another matter
from Serbia's case. If Mrs. Pank-
hurst wants to talk suffrage, let her
talk. But we cannot see for what
reason the public should turn from
established Serbian relief agencies to
put their money in her hands. Our
people have been giving literally, no.
body has criticized the management
of the work. BY and by, perhaps not
so very "by" either, the multiplicity of
begging agencies will become a
scandal. Even now there are sinister
whispers about the fate of contribu-
tions. when not given with care and
investigation. --4------.---.----

LIGHT BREAKING IN RUSSIA.

1t is noted by the Jewish Exponent that, in the
midst of all the reactionary symptoms displayed by
the ruling classes of Russia occasional ray of light
is distnguishabe. The Progressive element in the
imperial Duma and Council, consisting of members of
all the advanced groups, has submitted to the govern
ment statement of its conclusions as to the action
needed to advance the welfare of the country. This
program advocates liberal and progressive govern
ment under which the rights of all classes of the
people would be secured.
Among the policies advised the complete dis
continuance of persecution for religious belief abol-
tion of restrictions upon the Jews, abrogaton the
pale to educational institutions, abolition of
hndrances the choice of professions and restora-
ton of the Jewish press. 1t required courage of a
high order to formulate such demands and the fact
that considerable part of the Duma membership has
been willing to indorse them is the most encouraging
sign that has out OF Russia for a long time

BugIe Scoops
The NeWarker
in Art Issue

The announcement by James Arthur
MacKnlght, editor of the NewarlNer,
that he has secured for reproduction
in the February issue the etchings
of Newark made twenty-five years
ago by Durand Chapman. has re-
viyed a flood of memories among old
residents who year by year have
watched the city grow from a mere
village TO the first municipality in
Essex county. Through a special ar
rangement with a representative of
the art department of the Newarker
that cost the Bugle two fiye-cent
cigars and an uneXpired Roseville
transfer the etchings of MIR. Chapman
have been secured in advance of their
reproduction and are herewith pre-
sented exclusively for our readers.

A STATE INSURANCE. FIasC0.

According to the chief aetuary Of the Wisconsin
Insurance Commission, State life insurance is going
to prove amentabe failure unless the Legislature
makes large appropriation for placing agents
throughout the State to drum up business The
commissioner declares further that the condition of
the State life fund is such that if it that of
private corporation it would not be entitled to a
license to operate. In the view of this official, State
life insurance is probably impracticabe idea
even with the employment of agencies.
In contrast with this showing the leading insur-
ance companies in Wisconsin making steady
gains. Here is another proof that when govern
ment ventures into regular business operations in
competition with private enterprise it generally makes
very poor fist of the venture.

From Page to Assembly

From Page to Assemblyman' is
the meteoric title that could be ap
piled to a biography of Paul r. Sill
berman of this city. In 1915 Mr.. Sill
herman was a page in the one hun
dred and thirty-ninth session of the
Legislature. This year he took his
seat as a legislator in the one hundred
and fortieth session of the same body.
Mr.. Slberman's presence as one
of the august lawmakers was noted
by all who were familiar with the
faces at the one hundred and forty
ninth session. Mr.. Silberman's assum-
ing office was marked by the receipt
of an unusual number of valuable
gifts from friends and relatives. His
collection included two gold watches,
a silver set, a travelling bag and nu-
merous floral offerings.

Martha l.. Davis Berry, political re-
former, was born on January y, 1874,
in Michigan.
Her father had settled in Michigan
from New York. and was of Irish and
Italian descent, and her mother was
of German descent. So Martha had an
heritage from many races. Her father
was a strong worker for prohibition
and the anti-slaVery cause, and IT is
said that her mother was far ahead
of her times, so 1t is clear that her
childhood was passed in the midst OF
interesting thought.
Martha was most carefully educated
and her earliest desire was to teach.

This is not an important day. so far
as the planetary direction is con-
cerned. Venus is strongly adverse
and Saturn is in benefic aspect.
Under this rule it is held to be ex-
ceedingly fortunate to obtain the
favor or advice of elderly persons or
persons who have authority in con-
structive work.
1t is a favorable time for eoncentra-
tion and mental healing.
There is a sign giving promise of
gain to harness-!nakers, hide and
leather dealers and shoemakerS.
Whatever concerns land or real
estate is subject to the best condi-
tions today.
Mines of every sort should benefit
from this aspect of Saturn, which
presages gain through minerals and
the steady rise of stocks, especially
those representing copper properties
Today should be most auspicious
for the consideration of subjects of
supreme Importance to large masses
men should profit by this peculiarly
Deaths from poison will be aston
ishingly numerous before the end of
this new year, it is predicted, and a
man of prominence may meet tragic
end by the use of a narcotic.
The moon is today in a sign said to
increase any tendency to diseases of
the digestive organs.
Mars, which is the bright evening
star until the middle of February,
presages much good as well as evil
for Canada and the United States,
and indicates extremes in luck.
Fire in a place of amusement again
is foretold and loss of life is indicated.
President Wilson comes under a
planetary direction, which should
cause him to protect himself against
some personal danger.
Persons whose birthdate it is should
pay close attention to business affairs,
if losses are to be averted. Accidents
should be avoided as far as possible.
Children born on this day may have
much trouble with love affairs and be
rather too affectionate. These subjects
of Aquarius often are dreamers, who
do not succeed we'll in business.

No Need for Haste

The cashier of an institution To-
Gated near the -Four Corners recently
moved into a cottage on Washington
avenue. His family consisted only
of himself and wife, as they had until
that time lived in apartments where
heat was supplied as part of the SER
vice.
The cottage has a heater and the
cashier decided to do the stoking
himself and save the expense of a
hired man. He didn't know much
about coal, so he laid in only a quar-
ter of a ton to see if he liked it.
On Saturday he and his wife de-
clded to take a weekend trip, and
the cashier gave the house key to a
friend, requesting him to drop in on
Sunday and see that things were all
right. The friend did so. The CASH
ier, before leaving, announced:
Just poke your nose inside, old
man. I've put enough coal on the
fire to last until 1 return, so Won
won't have to do that for me-"
Saturday night it grew cold, and by
morning the wind was sweeping down
the avenue at great speed. The friend
visited the cottage and found the
fre had been livened up by the draft.
and could not last long without be-
ing repleniShed, so he filled the
heater up again and readjusted the
campers. The cashier and his wife
Gid not return until Monday.

after being absent two days and two
nights and the fire looked almost the

che pessimist Breaks Goose

There is land of small delight
Where all mortas dwell,
Where something posters day and night
And holidays, well.
Misfortunes ice is spread afar,
Whereon each mortal slips;
And those who dodge the motor
Appendicitis grips.
While shines the sun man maketh hay,
And sunstroke is his gain.
He sayeth for rainy day;
And To- it doesn't rain.
The demon corn gnaws at his feet
Or pain his eye tooth rides,
Or something that he's had TO eat
DiSturbs his whole insides.
His wife deetes whater he's earned
And buyeth flats galore,
And every time his back is turned
They raise his taxes MORE
Almost before he gets to bed
new day doth commence,
Full oft he'd wish that he were dead
Except for the expense.
Such is the life we mortas live
A paltry, tiresome task.
All joys are given in a sieve
Cares in stoppered flask
If poor, man is thought Ounce;
IF rich, It's called a crime,
Good fortune knocks It's said, but once;
Hard luck knocks all the time.

Taxing Large Fortunes.
Kansas City Star,

From the Kansas City Star.
The administration is dead right In
it's proposal to meet the preparedness
expenses by sharply increasing the
income tax and by levying an inherit
ance tax on large fortunes.
The increased burden of taxation
ought to fall chiefly on the well-to-do.
They are the ones who have profited
most by the existing social order. The
surplus which has come to them IN
the conduct of their business could
not possibly have come if they were
not doing business under American
conditions in an intelligent, indus
trious and prosperous community Of
100, 900, 900 persons.
1t is the surplus, which America
has made possible, which must be
largely drawn on for American de-
Tense. The possessors of large wealth
must expect to be called on for in
creasingly large contributions to the
State. The movement in this direc-
tion is as inevitable as it is just.
