 TON
 1928-Andrew Jackson elected.
 Death of his wife.
 1829-lnaugugated seventh Pres
 ident, aged 61,
 Jackson's election to the presidency almost deserved to be called the third American revolution. The first In 1776 left the country still under the rule of the colonial aristoeracy, which, though, liberty loving, distrusted the republic anl hated democracy. The Jeffersonian revolution of 1900 called the masses into the court of public opinion, but the old governing class remained in exclusive possession of the offices everywhere from president to selectman. The Jacksonian revo- lution of 1923. changing the name of the dominant party from republican to democratic. threw open to all the doors of the government, and admit ted Tom Dick and Harry indiscrin- inately to the sacred precincts of pub lie honor and political power.
 l The change logically came in the course of the Nations growth. For now there were eight or nine new states on the western frontier. where | there was no artocraey of birth or wealth, and where men were starting ! evenin in the race. This democratic spirit spread even ito the old states, and in New En-land the village arti- san and the pour farmer rose up in town meeting to challenge the squire and the parson.
 Jackson really was the first presi- dent to be popularly chosen.r His l was the first presidential election tC | 10 ir1fa of o the people in nearly every village set ting up a hickory pole and around i rallying to the support of "Olt Hickory" At lrs inauguration. ac' cording to Justice Story, "the reigl of King mob seemed triumphant, and the jurist saw with horror thi White House invaded by crowds o all sorts of peolle, from the highes and most polished down to the mos vulgar and gross in the nation"

WOODLAND FIRES.

We have gotten to the season again when people are again moving about In the woods and fields. And there are many instances in which those who like to get newt to nature in this way find that the land is posted. Tres passing is forbidden and signs appear in plenty against fishing and hunting.
 While there are of course the grouchy landowners, the real reason for much of this posting of property is protection. These owners of property ', In the country have been through the mill. They know how they are treat ed when needless trespassers get onto their land, knocking down walls and fences. leaving down bars and setting fires which means thousands of dol lars loss each year.
 Both in the spring and the fall there are large numbers of woodland fires caused by trespassers, whether done Intentionally or not and wood. land fires mean much to the owners of woodland. In this connection it if interesting to note that the report O. the state forest fire warden for the past ten years shows that there wer, s,s5s fires reported to him during tha period, which burned over an area oi 1i7,OOo acres and caused damage tt the extent of s1,5o0,OOO, and that doe. not include many which were proba. bly never reported.
 It is not solely the roamer who ii responsible for such fires but they make their contribution to the tota and no doubt many of those of un. known origin could be found to hay, been started by the careless wanderel if the facts could only be ascertained
 It is therefore of the utmost i'm. portance that those who visit thu woods and adjacent fields should tht Arf-,~xN~ l-----------.---. :

In regard to the daylight saving question the court of common council has done the right thing, both as to acting favorably upon the idea and delaying the operation of the advance time until it can be put into effect without causing the confusion which ha srequired other cities to return to standard time temporarily.
 The action taken is in keeping with that in other cities where there is a demand for the saving of the hour of daylight which is otherwise wasted. It means the way for the people to get that hour of daylight which would not otherwise be obtained and is in ac- cord with widespread sentiment that the economic benefits attached to the plan ought not, to be overlooked. Con- certed action. however, it has been shown is what is necessary in put ting any such idea into effect.
 Other cities in this state are equally convinced of the wisdom ot daylight saving. Some have shown il by the adoption of advanced tim@ and others would have done so but for the confusion which would have beer caused by not having the railroad or . similar time arrangement. Those which have gone back temporarily will return, and those which have de ferred action will adopt the idea, jus Gs soon as it is shown that the rail. road timetable will conform, and tha only hinges on uniformity of action il Rhode Island and Massachusetts.
 Not everyone is going to benefit ii the same measures. Some will fgur that it makes no difference to then what the arrangement is and other ere opposed to it but by far the large number will get the help out of it tha they have experienced for the pas two summers. The demands for plainly indicate that.

"Oh, Estelle." sniffed the girl in squirrel Tt was perfectly awful the way some of the girls chased poor Lester. Last summer he would fairly run to me to get rid of them. When you know that perfectly extraordi- nary man like Lester is devoted to you, you simply can't get interested in any one else and so I was more
 bored than anything when Archibald began calling me up and coming to
 see me this winter"
 "Well, l must sayl" breathed her friend. With every girl he knows taking a full course in the trapper's art for his benefit-and owning three cars and acres of the United States above and below ground as he does
 and looking like an advertisement and growing perfect nose-they usually get out the brass band when Archi- bald approaches in this city. What | do you mean, bored?"
 The girl in squirrel sighed gently I Possibly you cannot understand cer- ], tain things she murmured q may not be ar material as the majority of women. I look for something beyond
 mere wealth."
 "H'm!" sniffed the girl in the mole
 skin. Maybe so, but nobody earning /, merely a neat but guady salary ever seems visible to your eye, dead. Dc you mean to say that you had both Lester and Archibald humbly waiting to be picked, chosen, selected?"
