The Public Service Commission de.
cided yesterday that the Brooklyn and

operates over the Manhattan Bridge. is
too generous with respect to those pas
sengefs which II takes from the Man
haitian Bridge Three Cent Line and
that II must hereafter observe more
carefully its franchise,

Line complained that its competitor,
which was organized after the Man
haitian Bridge Three Cent Line obtained
its franchise, has inaugurated a service
from Broadway. Manhattan. across the
bridge TO Concord street, Brooklyn. the
fare rate being three cents or two tick
cts for five cents.
Commissioner Haywood found -Aat the
Brooklyn and North River Railroad
Company was not dropping its pas
eOngers when the Brooklyn side was
reached but WAS carrying them beyond
the bridge terminus, in many cases to
Fulton street.
Tho Commissioner holds that a Ave
cent fare must be paid by passengers
carried beyond the terminus.

Aroostook Potatoes

Potatoes have been coming into the
Fort Fairfield market rather lsowly of
late. Late last week they were bringing
$2.85 to $295 in the Fort Fairfield
market, but that price has been easing
off considerably, until this week they
have been going as low as $2.65 and
$2.70. Our people do not seem to care
to haul for those figures. A common
belief among our farmers is that this
lower price is only temporary. Fort

In these days we are won't to draw or
try to draw such lessons as we may from
the events and experiences of former
wars. The cry of preparedness is in the
air, and we feel strongly the necessity of
profiting by the successes and mistakes
of our countrymen in the past. Even
such an obscure incident as this may fur
nish its illustrations and lessons which
can throw light upon our problems today.
When we speak of preparedness, let US
have clear idea of what we mean. Of
course we say that preparedness must be
for defense only. That is true enough,
but let US see what this involves. 1t
must include not only adequate NUM-
tons, ships and guns, but men as we'll.
There must be great body of men cap
able of using the weapons which me-
chanical ingenuity and foresight have
provided. There must be intelligence to
grasp the situation, and to provide for
every emergency.
The question Of body of trained and
experienced leaders becomes one of the
most pressing needs of due preparation
for any emergency of defense. Given
such leadership the Americans are able to
and capacity of our people we may safely
and the effectiveness of our armies. But
when we talk of preparedness we must
not forget the all-important questioned
leadership. l believe that this is the
lesson which we may draw from this
little episode which is known to but COM
paratively few among US. With the
right leaders, we are always ready to de-
fend our shores. That is the lesson of
the Revolution. 1t is also the lesson of
the Civil War. 1t is the great necessary
element in all our efforts to put our coun-
try on the footing of adequate prepare
ton. The leader is the first requisite.
That preparedness may go beyond what
is needful, feel sure. The country must
