It is perfect nonsense to say that the public has no concern in these traction matters; it has every con cern in them. For the sake of the $40, 000,000 that Mr. Yerkes extracted from the street railroads of Chicago, the community endured for many years the most abominable traction service in this world. The $40,000,000 would have given the people good service; the difference between the good ser vice and the bad service inflicted upon ! them meant a sum of inconvenience, discomfort, suffering, and sometimes of impaired health that is not pleasant to contemplate. In New York the mon ey represented by water in the street railroad system would have provided the city with ample, quick, and com fortable transit in all directions. The issuing of that water means the dif ference between such transit and the terrible scenes witnessed nightly at the Brooklyn Bridge and in the sub way. Not only that, but it maks the dif ference between a normal and an ab normal fare. If there never had been any water in the New York street rail read system, if the total capital rep resented nothing but the actual invest ment, if there never had been any experiments with this devilish "capi talizing of the earning power," the street railroads of New York could carry passengers for three cents . and make money. So that of every five cents paid now on these railroads two cents are paid to support the water and three cents in compensation for the service rendered. Charles Ed ward Russell, in the March Everybody's. THREE VACANCIES TO BE FILLED Several of the City Boards Are Now Incomplete. There are now several vacancies on the various boards of the city govern ment, which must be filled in the near future. There is one vacancy on the board of aldermen, that caused by the resig nation of Alderman McDowell. Mr. J. O. Walker has resigned from the public safety board, and Mr. R. H. Jor dan's death several weeks ago, caus-1 ed a vacancy on the water board. There are no names being put for ward for these positions as yet except that Mr. B. S. Davis, proprietor of the Dihvoith Drug Store Company is men tioned as being a good man to take Mr. Walker's place on the safety board. It was thought at one time that there would be another vacancy on the alder manic board on account of the propos ed removal from the First Ward of Mr. J. W. Wadswoith. Mr. Wadsworth, however, will not move out of Hhe First Ward. When a Bank nut a good plan of saving money before a com munity and sees it successfully used by several thousand people there is an inclination to take some pride in it and talk about it. But we would like for you to talk to some of our Savings De positors and get their opinion. Ask some friend who has an account with us if he didn't feel more independent from the day he deposited his first dollar. Ask him, also, how he likes the service we give.

Dr. Nesbit is president of the com pany and Dr. Register will be editor of the ; publication. Going the Pace in New York Society. Upton Sinclair's novel of New York Society, now running in The American Magazine, is an extraordinary revela tion of the extravagance of the super rich. Here, for example, is a jar for the ordinary reader: "Just think of the number of people there are trying to go the pace! They say there are seven thousand million aires in this country, but I say there are twenty thousand in New York alone or if they don't own a million they're spending the income of it, which amounts to the same thing. You can figure that a man who pays ten thousand a year for rent is pay ing fifty thousand to live; and there's Fifth Avenue two miles of it, if you count the up-town and down-town parts; and there's Madison Avenue, and half a dozen houses adjoining on every side street; and then there are the hotels and apartment houses, to say nothing of the West Side and Riv erside Drive. And you meet the mobs of people in the shops and the hotels and the theatres, and they all want to be better dressed than you. I saw a woman here today that I never saw in my life before, and heard her sav she'd paid two thousand dollars for a lace handkerchief; and it might have been true, for I've been asked to pay ten thousand for a lace -shawl at a bar gain. It's a common enough thing to see a woman walking on Fifth Avenue with twenty thousand dollars' worth of furs on her. I know women who have a dozen sets of furs ermine, chincilla, black fox, baby lamb, and mink and sable; and I know a man whose chauffeur quit him because he wouldn't bay him a fancy fur coat! And once people used to pack their furs away, and take care of them; but now they wear them about, and you can fairly see them fade. Or else their cut goes out of fashion, and so they have to have new ones!" GRGCtRb POTATO CHIPS Another lot of those nice crisp po tatoes fresh from the factory. Finest on the market.
