Pays Fine For
Friendly Deed

A Good Samaritan who got into
"hot water" by violating the city
plumbing ordinance was given a
suspended fine Of IS without
costs by Judge Theobald e. Con-
way in city court today.
Herbert Atwood, 81, of 8 Mid
die street, was arrested last night
on complaint of Plumbing Inspec-
tor James r. Walker that he con
nected a boiler to a stove with
galvanized pipe instead of brass
pipe and also ruined the safety
valve while doing the job.
"It's fellows like these who only
work two Gays a week at the fac
tory and then 60 out and do in
efficient plumbing jobs that get
me into trouble" said the inspec-
tor. He added that the sob" At
wood had done at 80 State street
yesterday endangered the lives
Of two children.
Atwood, a steamfitter, said he
was called in by the family that
just moved into 80 State street
to do the work. He said the
"breadwinner" of the family has
been sick, and they're not too well
off.
IT was trying to do a good
turn" he said.
Judge Conway, as he imposed
the fine, said the public is en-
dangered by amateur plumbers.

matter Of the proverbial Good

THE STORY OF DEMOCRACY
MOnarchial System Grows Anew
From the Union of Power and Money
Chapter Twenty-Five

Copyright, 1910, by NEA ServiceD
What had been begun by the
feudal system was continued and
brought to perfection by q rapidly
increasing number of monarchies
Law and order (and therefore Sec
urity) was once more re-established
all over Europe.
1t meant tremendous increase
in the wealth and prestige of that
new class of citizens which hao
gradually interposed itself between
the lordly gentry who ruled the
land and the peasants and serfs
who worked it. AS all history shows
us. No class Of society will ever will
fully commit suicide for the sake
of another.
The aristocracy (Which is merely
another name for "old money!
strongly opposed, therefore, the am
billions of those merchants who to
them represented the idea Of new
money"
Under those circumstances the
men of the contingencies eagerly
looked for some one who would pro-
tect them from the menace that
came to them from the castle of the
feudal chieftain.
In order to do this they needed
soldiers and political henchmen.
At last there was q class Of cit
izens who were possessed Of ready
cash. A tacit alliance was formed
between the rising young capital
istic forces, struggling for greater
influence upon the government,
and the equally young and new
m0narchies, desperately trying to
destroy the feudal squirarchy
which still stood between these
new-fangled majesties and their
final grab for the supreme power.
During the 18th and 10th GEN.
turtles few political dynasties
CLOSELY resembling our own big
commercial dynasties in their mode
of operations and their complete
lack of scruples) forged ahead and
gradually destroyed all competition.
Having started their careers as
members Of the feudal system and
therefore being rich in land but
poor in cash, the monarchs were
obliged to go to the middle class
for their direct financial support
without which they could never
hope to overcome the opposition
of their former fellow-feudalists.

Spring Snowstorn
Creates Beautiful
Patterns on Trees,
Shrubbery.

Between three and four inches
of snow which fell in a spring
snowstorm last night and early
this mornin,; was yielding rapidly
today. to the rays of warm sun.
Aided by temperatures which
climbed above 40 degrees, the
sun cleared main streets quickly
Of most Of their snow.
The snow, heavy and clinging,
brought some breahlessly beauti-
full effects. Trees and bushes
were etched in patterns OF white
against the sky, their features
outlined like rare old lace held to
the light.
Driving conditions were dan
gerous last night as the mercury
remained at the freezing mark
and snow continued to fall. But
with the coming of daylight, the
snow began to disappear.
The lowest temperature during
the night was 80 degrees. At 2
o'clock this afternoon 1t had
climbed to AZ degrees.
Cloudy weather tonight, with
cloudy and warmer for tomorrow,
is the weatherman's prediction.
