RICHARD CROKER.
ID ICHARD CROKER is dead.

D lClARD CROKER is dead
IN For sixteen years, from 1886 TO 1902, he
was Boss of Tammany, with all that implied thirty
years ago plus what he made it imply. The earlier
prze-fighter and gang-eader shouldered his way to
the place from which he practically ruled the city.
During that rule he amassed wealth To the
Mazet committee he frankly admitted he was
working for his own pocket all the time" When
ne finally left New York and went to live like
lord in Ireland, he went with the question ringing
in his ears: Where did you get it," He died with
that question unanswered
Croker had the qualifications of master boss
His will was iron. His nerve never failed him.
His strength made him feared, gained him friends
who admired his power to bring Others to heel. q.
Its said he never broke his political word But
his honor, if it can be called honor, was kind that
recognized no civic duty. His conscience knew no
responsibility to the public His scrupleS never
got in the way of his plans.
Croker was less bold than Tweed only for the
reason that still later eXploiterS of municipal gov
ernment have been less bold than Croker. Taught
by experience, the public is more on its guard
Richard Croker was born leader He held
great organization in the hollow of his hand He
knew the rougher gear of politics in this city AS
few men have known it. He might have been re-
membered as force in municipal progress
Instead he made his name a municipal warning.

LooSTING THE BARGE CANAL.

in promoting more general use OF the State Barge
Canal

two things are necessary. BargeS must be built
Then The operating companies must have freight
TO keep the barges working
TO develop the possibilities OF the Barge Canal
in return for the huge investment by The State, the
Board OF Trade and transportation is acting as
volunteer go-between
II is encouraging responsible companies TO build
and operate barges
II is canvassing the business houses OF New
York for possible freight The board says to the
business men:
you think YOU cant use the canal because you
bever have used it Don't be too sure you can't
Investigate Keep open mind. Find out
rhether you can Let us have your name to turn
over to prospective barge operators
Then the board turns to other business men
and asks:
"Why not operate barges? A barge that cost
$4,000 last year can be built for about $4,000
tls year. The first cost is not likely TO GO lower
kow is the time TO get started
This is the kind of promotion work that counts
Il is douby desirable now. CargoeS pledged in
advance will encourage bodybuilding Once the
barges are built, the operators can bid for east
bound traffic from the lake ports If the rates
are satisfactory, it provides the strongest argu-
ment against the projected St. Lawrence Canal.
The Board OF Trade and transportation is
helpful because it is shaking business men out of
the rut of reliance on railroads 1t is opening
their minds TO the possibility of the new and bet
ter and cheaper means of transportation.

xlV.-SALT FARMING IN CALI

By Winthrop Biddle.

World) by Press Publishing %.

The United States is the largest
producer of salt in the world. And
the most interesting phase of the
American salt industry is carried on
in California. The principal workman
on the salt farm of California is Old
Sol.
rms farm occupies an area of more
than a thousand acres at Alvarado,
twenty miles from San Francisco. II
is laid out in successive "pans" on
ascending levels. 1t took three years
TO roll out these "pans," with about
eight miles of intercommunicating
bitches, to a level compact flooring on'
the clay soil.
At high tide sluice gates are opened,
admitting the ocean to the lowest lew.

from to inches has been Increased
to about thirty degrees of salinity by|
evaporation.

higher level and new inflow of ocean.
water is admitted to the first or loves {
level.
The total lifting capacity Of the.
windmills is 200, 900 gallons a minute {
After the sun has evaporated tho
water in the second level to a salinity'
OF about sixty degrees this condensed
brine is pumped to the third level.
and the second level is once more
filed with the contents of the first
pan"
The process of evaporation Is carried
on continuously through successive
higher levels until the salinity has
been Intensified to about 30 de-
grees. In three weeks of farming
the remaining salt solution, or pickle.
is drawn off at the highest level and
allowed to run off by gravity.
After this draining process the fieroe
rays or the sun are once more set to
work and the salt is shovelled into
small heaps. Then it is trundled I'm
wheelbarrows to wagons, which cart
it to the factory.

as lime. potash and magnesia.
During the intense sun-bath in the
reservoirs the lime has been absorbed.
but the other deleterious substances
remain.
The process at the factory completes
the publication that the reservoirs
have begun.

rado Is deep canal dug through the
property to the refinery. Through
the canal the harvest is loaded on
ships at the refinery and sent to the

THE POPE'S LETTER.

DOPE Plus Xl. appears to have had in mind
something more definite than, general ap-
peal TO the powers to save the Genoa Conference
for humanity's sake
he Pope's special reference 10 the unhappy
peoples of Eastern Europe TO whom he sends
the ardent wishes of a paternal heart" is bound
to be interpreted as a plea for extra care and
forbearance in the treatment of Russia.
This is not only strong backing for Lloyd
George but a powerful influence exerted upon
Catholic sentiment in France The effect may
even be felt in moderatng of the French political
and economic attitude toward Russia-which
would make easier the reconciling of French and
British policies
The Papal move may have another iar-sighted
purpose of its own in turning the eyes of the long
separated church of Eastern Europe back toward
Rome
But that purpose in no wise lessons the imme-
date good the Papal letter can do at Genoa and
at Paris.

sTAMMERER's DREAMS

LILA sTAMMERER's DREAMS.
A patients dreams are to the nsy-
choanalyst a good index of the
progress the patient is making. A
stammerer brought me the following
dream at the beginning of his anal
ysis: "A Congressman who looks
like me is delivering a big speeeh
gang of little boys in the rea,
starts a disturbance The audience
unable to understand the speaker
leaves the hall" The stammerer
seeking scapegoats, was trying TO
blame the boys in his dream for his
inability to speak well. On number
less occasions. little boys prevented
him in his dreams from accomplish
ing his object, whatever 1t may have
been. Later. when his speech began
to Improve, small boys became les,
and less aggressive. On one occasion
he led a group of them through a
museum and they listened respect
fully to his explanations without in
terrupting him. -
Ono night he had the following
l.
tion and thousands of children are
lined on both sides or the street To
welcome n school Principal who is
landing from the train. He arrives
and they all cheer wildly and have
feeling that | am that school Prin
cipal."
Little boys never disturbed the
dreamer after that curious episode.
he was regaining very fast his self
control, abandoning his regressive
tendencies and his speech was i'm
proving.
When he finally came to me with
the dream l am going to relate ]
assured him that the analysis was
ended and that he would no Longer
require my professional services:

Lionel Barrymore. retiearsed them
for a Shakesperian role. Lionel sud

I prompted him and declaimed few
passages myself very eloquently.
"This was accompanied Dy the
thought: Very gotistical-good."
Little boys appearing in many
patients dreams as a disturbing
element could be upon close analy-
sis identified with the patient at
an earlier age. or with annoying
memories of childhood.'

The present plan under which q
man gets only one day off in twenty
seven is not at all an inducement for
a man on the force 10 give his best
efforts. especially in some districts
where a mans post comprises about
twenty square blocks, as the case is
lp my neighborhood.
Why not take the favored few

lowing them to annoy a few petty Of
game.
Coming. in contact with men on the

Police Department with few excep-
tions, of course) as fine a body of
| men as you want to meet, brave and
fearless beyond question.
You certainly cannot expect them
20 give the best in them when they
are treated like slaves-they are
nothing more than slaves under the
present system.
A Even a prisoner in the workhouse
il not compelled TO labor seven days

Give the men a chance, restore the
ten suuad system and let them know
life Is worth living, abolish the snaI

on patrol. Get an efiicient Police
