OLD ACE
By DIR. W. E. BARTON

We have been admonished to
grow old gracefully, and that is
good advice for those who need it.
Meantime, down the street comes
Grandma. not with her white cap
and flowing garments. but with her
skirts up to her knees.
And as for Grandpa behold him
yonder on the golf links, acting as
If he were 16 instead of 60!
What is the world coming to? The
present generation is growing old
disgracefully!
1t may be so, but let us be thank
full that we have in a measure torn
away the terror and loneliness of
cid age.
1t Is no longer necessary for a
man to begin to die 20 years before
the life insurance companies limit
his expectancy.
Every year we can snatch away
from old age and ~consecrate to the
normal and productive activities of
middle life is so much to the good.
And that Is not the whole Of it
Every tie that binds the older to the
younger generation is a double bless
ing. Every interest that the father
can share with his son and the
mother with her daughter makes
life blessed with a double joy.
I do not advocate the aping of
youth by those who are old enough
to know better; but I maintain that
no man has any business to add
arbitrarily to his senility, or to
hasten his own progress toward the
grave by becoming old before his
time.

A San Francisco mother, her son. her daugh-
ter and another young woman were drowned
recently because they tried to change from one
row-boat to another half a mile out from shore.
The reasons for the transfer are not given.
Perhaps they were unavoidable, but the story
,neints. a moral none the less.
No one should ever venture into deep water
In any craft not definitely known to be sea-
worthy. No one who is inexperienced In
handling a boat, ignorant of weather 1ndica-
tons or subject to physical collapse Of any sort
should attempt to operate a boat at all No
one should go out on unfamiliar waters unless
he Is sure of his vision and of his ability to
handle himself and his party in a crisis. Except
In direst emergency no one should ever attempt
to transfer from one small boat to another
without first seeking a safe landing place.
Above all, learn to swim, SO as to be able to
take care of ones self when in the water to
give help time to arrive.

A FRIEND OF THE WATERWAYS.

| The following Tribute to a Man." published
by the New York World, is heartily seconded
by the Evening News:
HE lived and died in poverty. He was badly

Broad streets. Because he was the sanest man
thereabouts, but more because the rest of them
did not know what else to do with an idea, they
sent him to an asylum. He was released.
"One of his crazy ideas was that coal should
be brought to the sea cheaply by canal instead
of extensively by railroads and middlemen.
What do consumers think? Another hallucina-
tion-to wall street-was that the canals should
be enlarged, extended and used to cut the cost
of living9a need that the war revealed. Before
he died, an international commission recon-
mended spending s25O,0OO.O0o on a st. Lawrence

American waterways should get to work?

heart, to devote to it his waking hours for years,

accomplish results beyond what seemed possible,
is to merit praise. then a tribute to the late
Captain William G. Clark OF Constantia, N. T.,
is not undeserved."

News printed many of his articles and once got
up a delegation to go to Trenton in the interest
Of securing a better rate on the canal. In this
the efforts were partly successful.
Captain Clark was an ardent believer In
waterways. He had an interesting map drawn
showing the development of the waterways of
the eastern section of the country. connecting
the various rivers. as prepared by George WASH
ington. The captain insisted that Washington's
scheme was just as feasible today as it was in
the colonial period.
Getting coal from the mines of Pennsylvania
to tidewater by the all-water route was Captain
Clark's particular hobby, and no one was found
who could dispute the soundness of his argu-
ment.
In recent years the captain has been missed.
1t was known, however, that he had an I'M
portant part in the development OF the New
York state barge canal. He has not been IN
this section since before the recent war. He
probably lived long enough to feel assured that
his efforts had not been in vain.

pensation for services rendered."
No such statement would meet with oppo-
sition from employers or public If it were
accompanied by a declaration of labor's firm
purpose to bear its equal share of responsibility
for the completion of tasks assigned, for the
safeguarding of the interests of the public and
the fair protection of the capital invested. Here
and there a voice has been raised in the con-
vention to assert that these are the duties of
organized labor, but mostly the talk has been
only of its rights. No one-sided policy Will
ever bring lasting success to labor any more
than it will to capital.

OUR NEED OF DIPLOMATS
By Frederic j. Haskin.

WASHINGTON, D. c., July 5.-For a great
many years it has been publicly and privately
deplored that the United States, one of the
great world powers, is the only one which has
not a real diplomatic service. Its ministers and
ambassadors to the other nations of the globe
are almost invariably men appointed from
private life to represent the United states
abroad, often as a reward for special service
to their political party or large contributions
to the campaign fund.
1t has been the custom for some members
of the party out Of power to talk Of establishing
a diplomatic service on a par with the military
and naval services, with men trained to Dip
lomacy taking the highest ranks as their
training and fitness for these posts OF great
responsibility are shown.
Under present conditions, which have OBJ
tanned for many years, it is impossible for a
poor man, or a man OF moderate means-no
matter what his qualiications-to accept the
appointment as ambassador at London or
Paris, for instance. The establishment which
the dignity of these positions requires is far
out of reach of the ordinary pocketbook, and
the salary of SIT, 500 paid to these ambassadors
is scarcely a drop in the bucket in making up
the ambassadorial budget.

OPPORTUNITY NOT TO BE LOST.

With the formal proposition of the transfer
of the Meredith property at the foot of Marke,
street to the city for sS2, 500 now before the
Board Of Aldermen, it is to be hoped that
the city fathers can see their way clear to
take advantage Of the offer. The fact that
riparian rights are included makes the propo-
sition exceptionally attractive. 1t is impossible
to secure riparian rights from the state any
more. If the city can add to its holdings by
purchase of this kind it ought to do so.
When it is realized that the bulkhead line
extends a considerable distance out from the
shore, allowing for much filling SO that a large
tract could be added to what is already there.
the value of the tract is emphasized. To allow
this property to go on the market might mean
erect tanks thereon for storage purposes much
to the detriment Of the park that the city has
already established there. =,
Such an offer as this may never come again.
What can be bought by the city for $32, 500
today may be worth a million dollars twenty
dve years from low. The boys and girls now
In school, who will then be the leaders in the
city's development, will have cause to praise
or condemn the present Board Of Aldermen,
according to what action they take on this
important question.
We are aware that there are many pressing
matters before the city at the present time and
that money is scarce. Yet opportunities of
this kind are not always offered. They must
be seized when they come up or be lost forever.
Incidentally, there 10 that gas works property
