The National Association of Waste
Material Dealers repudiates both the
name and the idea of Junk. ;"
Nothing is wasted today" declares
the president of that dignified body
He points out that there is a turn
over of $1,000 100000 year in the
business, which gives it a standing in
the seventh place among the worlds
largest industries.
1t is not safe to call anything
waste. We are eagerly burning the
"culn" of the mines. making road
ways of the Stag, forming briquettes
of sawdust, boarding the gasolene
that once ran away like sdishwater,
turning garbage into rare perfume,
raising corn from sewage, capturing
the carbon that would escape in
smoke, getting valuable fodder and
oil from the pest of the cotton seed
and these instances of industrial sal
wage might be indefinitely multiplied.
But we are only at the beginning of
the business of turning the rubbish
we once despised into something
precious.
A similar process of reclamation is
at work for human flesh and blood
once thought to be hardly worth the
saving Orthopedic surgery and
dietetic science are making sound
maturity out of feeble infancy. There
cannot be better work than that
which saves human beings from the
rap-heap.

The New Municipal Admins
tratiOn .

The new municipal administration
has taken up its duties. 1t finds the
financial condition of the city in ac-
cord with the statements made by
the Republicans, prior to the election.
The following from Mayor Fogg's
cleau-cut inaugural expresses the adj
mirablc spirit in which the new gov
crnment takes up the tasks to which
it succeeds: by accepting the vari-
Gus offices to which we have been
elected. we have assumed RESPONSE
bi1ity for our every act That re-
spons;bility is ours and ours alone,
we cannot shirk it, and we cannot
transfer it to any other persons"
Well said, and promise of faithful
and efficient handling of burdens
which have been brought about
through no fault of previous admin
istrations but by circumstances
wholly beyond municipal control"
