satisfaetion Is to be felt at the an- acuncement that A. Bruce Bielaski, a ormer chief of the secret service in the Apartment of justice. has been released iy hts Mexican kidnappers. It is to be rxpecisd that the same will be done with he other Americans who have been Islred and held for ransom.
 Such a game is nothing new in Mex co. but it remains to be determined whether it is a we'll organized scheme to iiscrsdit the ohregon government. Con Htions in the republic to the south have sesn showing marked improvement There were rumors of revolutionary plans preceding the reaching of an un- lers,anding between the Mexican govern nent and the committee of international bankers. It never maerialized although a small party of trouble makers was Iuickiy disposed of by the Mexican army.
 Now that the agreement with the bankers has been reached new efforts Ire underway to reach an agreement Eith this government looking to a basis Tor recognition of the obregon govern. meut. Kidnappings are so frequent ir Mexico that the latest instances involy- Ing Americans doesn't necessarily sig nify that the enemies of obregon are al work. but much will depend upon the activity displayed by Mexico City 1T bringing about the punishment of thos' Euihy as well as the release If seizet Americans In judging the affair.

Much is to be said in favor of the ar- Engagements which have been made in some communities for the celebration of Che Fourth of July by having special programmes for the newly naturalized. Patriotic organizations manifest their interest in the new citizens in various ways but k is-wer that there should be a continuation of such efforts and espec- iaiiy on the anniversary of the birth of ths nation.
 While such a celebration might be planned specially for the recently natu- r2iized. it certainly cannot fail to pay an Important part in connection with the Americanization work that is so much needed It will serve the double pur- pose of giving important information to ooth those who have become citizens of this country and those who are In a po- sition to become citizens, while there is no telling how much interest 1t may awaken In the minds of those who have not given the matter of naturalization ns much serious thought as Is advisable
 N is unquestionably true that sucf people could find help Tn any celebration that might be arranged were they of tht r1Eht character. but the nearing of tn. Fourth is SO well understood by us thai Tor the most part our celebrations ar, lsvotsd to noisy demonstrations, picnic. md the hse. There are not the literary azercises which t Is proposed to Eeatur, D the plans for catering 10 the natural he'd citizens. It Is through such pso Erammes dealing with the historica facts that much timely enlightenment gan be provided. It Is certainly an ex, reilent time to let 1t be known wat act nated our forefataers and at the same lime emphasize whas th's nation standi Tor. There Is no danger that there vii be too much Of such information. Greater hre the chances th1t there will be too lit De of e for the good of the many wh, come to these shores from other couu trieE.
 Inc plan is thus deserving of ever, tncourzgemsnt and the idsa is worthy O being followed in many communitie where there Is evident mead of Amer. ianiEation work on ca more extensiv tcaie.

CUTTING orERArrNe oosrs.

-s That trolley lines and even railroads are determined to meet new conditions as far as possible In order to serve the public is indicated by the employment of new and more economical equipment whenever opportunity presents itself.
 Information to the effect that the Nor wich & Westerly road will have service in the fall from other than electrically operated cars shows a determination to cut the operating cost to the bone and with proper patronage a determination to give service more than during the summer months It is a case of course where much depends upon the coopera- tien received from those who are di- rectly concerned in retaining this ser vice.
 On the Narragansett Pier railroad one gasoline car has been in operation for nearly year and 1t is intended to ac- quire another, inasmuch as more fre- quent service Is permitted with such equipment and the patronage increases correspondingly.
 For a section of the road in Massa- cfrusetts the Central Vermont railway is trying out car run by kerosene. Upon the success of the undertaking de pends the extension of such service, and what is being done in these small ways Is but characteristic of what is being put Into operation by the New Haven on a number of it's branch lines. and al. so introduced on other roads.
 These changes are all made for the purpose of cutting down the operating costs. one-man trolley cars have help ed in cities and the replacing of tfie ex pensive equipment and the high cost! of operating locomotives is in keeping with tho general progress that is being made in transportation.

The Bulgarians.

"A country largely of peasants seorn- ful of idieness and pretense. yet producers of what is perhaps the worlds best known symbol of luxury, altar of roses-such,' 2 says bulletin from the Washington. D C., headquarters of the National Geo. graphic society, lis Rlgaria-"
 The country has recently come into the public eye and it's agrarian character has been more strongly emphasized by the meeting in Sofia, the capital, of a con- gress of small farmers to discuss the taking of even more radical steps toward making Bulgaria still more truly a peasant" state.
 Bulgaria. continues the bulletin, "is often considered merely one of the Bal kan states But whatever it's faults and its virtues, it certainly is not codorless, and it fully deserves to. stand on it's own feet The differences between the Bull gars and the Turks are obvious, and 500 years of domination by the latter did not serve to eradicate them. There is almost as much of a racial gulf between the Bulgars and the Greeks; and their diff ferences are accentuated by an ancient en. mity dating from the time when the Bull gars were threatening spear-point against the Greek Byzantine empire and later when for space Bulgaria was trlb utary to that same Byzantium The Ru. manians to the north are Latins and they too are racially distinct from the Bul gars.

Sirius once every fifty years, like the little planet Mercury around the sun every few months.
 In 1882 the Companion was in that part of Its orbit where it began moving toward us. thereby repeling or forcing the earth. sun and solar system outward little from Cirrus. a great source of heat, and cooling the temperature of the solar system, which resulted in increased sun spots or holes in the fiery cloud of the sun, where portions of the fiery cloud condensed and rained back to the main body of the sun, thus leaving spaces or holes in the metallic clouds called sun spots. It not only resulted in colder weather on the sun, but it caused colder weather on the earth, as for example, the cold winters of the f0s and sos.
 In 1913 the Companion of Sirius was again at its greatest distance east of Sirius and began moving in it's orbit in directly toward us. resulting in increased sun spots, and 1t will be followed by

THE PENNsELvANIA REDUcTIoN.


 Under present conditions attention cannot fai Ito be given to the announce rnent which was made by the Pennsyl- vania railroad to the effect that reduc- ton in the wages of maintenance, tele- graph and signal department men would go into effect the first of July affecting 42.5oo men
 What the reductions amount to is not stated, but the important feature of the announcement is that the decision ha: been reached as the result of the nego- tiations that have been underway be. tween the representatives of the company and those of the roads employees. They have gone about the matter in a busi- nesslike manner. dealt with the condi- tions faced, taken into consideration the lower cost of living, the general condi tions of employment throughout tht country and the demand of the public fol cheaper transportation.
 This is an adjustment which Is mad' by the interested parties and as the re suit of the facts which they have estab lished for themselves. It would havl been possible for other roads to hav' done the same thing had the employel and employees shown the same disposi tion as expressed in the NPennsylvani; case. When it came to getting the fact a survey was made of industry in gen eral throughout the territory served b! the Pennsylvania system, facts and fig ureS were obtained concerning the act ual conditions and when they were pre- scented by both sides they were thorough | iy digested and an agreement reached It is in keeping with the plan that ha been in operation on the road for a yea and half and when it Is announced tha more than 5000 controversial question have been decided under it there mus be merit in 1t.
 Such an adjustment cannot fail to in press the public, since through settle ment of differences rather than throug the attitude of placing an unwarrante burden upon the public the right nov is made. One important fact shown D this Pennsylvania case Is that the err ployes do not threaten strike just be cause the conditions call upon them take a cut, and they do not hold a oi club over their employer in the snap -of a strike to try to prevent what shown to be just.
