WHICH IS THE BEST PAVEMENT? SOME years ago the city of Baltimore laid a number of sample pavements of sheet asphalt, wood block, asphalt block and various kinds of brick blocks. In the December number of Municipal Engineering Magazine, City Engineer B. T. Fendall reports on the results of the experiment. Jle says: piece of sample pavement laid by me was so seriously injured during the great fire in this city that no lessons of any special value were learned from the As far as the experiment went, the wood block pavement, after the fire, was far the best of any pavement that we laid.

Probably the next best was the Canton iron rock block (vitrified clay brick). The pavement was laid on an old cobble stone foundation, instead of a concrete foundation, and there were a number of failures in the different sorts 0 fpavements, due rather to the failure of the foundation than to the failure of the About the only thing demonstrated was that where it was necessary to take up and relay cobble stone to be used as a foundation, instead of concrete, there was practically no saving in the first cost, and the foundation obtained was vastly inferior to good concrete. The pavements laid in this experi- ment were Trinidad sheet asphalt, Ber-mudez sheet asphalt, Trinidad asphalt block, creosoted block and six or eight different kinds of vitrified brick. 1 And George Branelgh of Bchellburg, cured his 14-year piles with only New York Office: 604 Cambrldjrs Bul'dln.

Thomas H. Melvln, president of the Street and Sewer Commission, reported that he and Benjamin F.

SENTIMENT for publication of campaign ex-penses is growing. Governor Hughes faVors j.u-licity. It has the approval of President Koosevelt. Some States have laws requiring the publication of the campaign the paT- ties- New York has such a law, but it is defective. As the publication is not made until after an election, it has no effect upon the campaign and does not operate as a deterrent to the use of large sums of money for alleged expenses of political parties.

It has been suggested that the- New York law be changed so that the publication of contributions shall bejnade during the progress of the campaign. Probably this would secure better results. Any plan that would reduce the expenses of a political campaign is desirable. The custom of campaign leaders has been to hold up rich men, and especially corporations, for heavy contributions. This has forked eviliin, many ways.

The corporations naturally have expected, in the event of the success of the party whose funds they swelled, protection from adverse legislation. They have sought to purchase immunity from "strike bills" and blackmailing schemes. It has proved expensive to corporations, and their contributions have not always secured the desired protection. Doubtless the corporations would be glad to be released from the money demands made upon them by political managers. In view of the present sentiment throughout the country in opposition to the interference of corporations in politics and the collecting of large sums from them, it is unlikely that the coming campaign will witness the continuation of practices that have caused trouble in the past.

The fmblication of campaign expenses is designed to essen these evils. And the corporations and the rich contributors should heartily welcome any change. When the expenses of a political party are great and the money therefor is derived from corporations or rich men, there, is an injustice to men in poorer circumstances who desire to become candidates. They know they cannot respond to calls for heavy contributions. They are thus barred from seeking offices they have a right to aspire to.

There is no legitimate reason why great wealth should be a requisite for holding public office or why rich men should be forced to carry the burdens of political campaign expenses. It is proper that men holding office and candidates should be assessed a reasonable figure for legitimate campaign expenses, but this assessment should not be inordinate. where they could shout the praises of SISTERS OF ST.

The annual rental is small compared with the service rendered. Call and see them. Good industrial news comes from Detroit. The American Car and Foundry Company last week started 5000 men at work, and an automobile making company resumed operations with 2000 men. Detroit is optimistic.

The automobile manufacturers surely believe that hard times cannot be permanent. One of the first effects of a continued dull season would be a falling off in demand for automobiles, but the Detroit concern evidently has no fear of a serious and permanent depression in their trade. The new rules of the court for the conduct of saloons in this county will relieve the liquor men at their meetings of discussing some of the more important reforms that they have considered The court's acjUon halts differences of opinion among the dealers as to how their business should be managed. No dealers want to lose their licenses, and they must, therefore, obey, to the letter, the injunctions of the court. MrBryan has absolved Mr.

Roosevelt from responsibility for the so-called panic, and the industrial depression seems, therefore, eliminated as a political issue. The main business of the people at present is to get business back to normal conditions and this object will not be furthered by a continual discussion of the causes of the panic. Personal and Pertinent Lincoln Deachey, the well-known balloonist, was talking In Toledo about Henry rarman'a recent marvelous flight with hla aeroplane in Paris. "The aoropiane will some day rule the air," he said. "Modern Invention makes this probable, particularly the Invention of motors that are at once very light and very powerlul.

Now, maybo you'll believe that you Two women were discussing with a photographer the question of their posing for pictures. Both wished to pose as musicians, one at a harp, the other at the piano. "Are you musicians?" asked the photographer. "Can you play the harp and the piano?" The women admitted that they could play neither Instrument. "Then I must refuse to photograph you In the pretended attitude of musicians," he returned.

"The pictures wouldn't look natural, therefore they wouldn't be artistic, and would be a disappointment to you and an Injury to me. Many women have had a fad during the musical season of being photographed playing the violin, the piano or some other Instrument. UnleHa they really know that particular Instrument they cannot by any skill "of the photographer be mado to appear at ease In such a position. They sit awkwardly and they hold their hands awkwardly, simply because they are out of their element. My experiences with these musicians for pho-tographlo purposes only have been so unpleasant that I now refuse to add another to my list of failures." New York Sun.

One of the local officers of Chicago tells of a plumber's apprentice who, on his way to work one morning, called at the ofllce of the health authorities and made known his wish to register his father's death. When the clerk asked the date of the demise, the son replied: "He ain't dead yet; but he will be before night I thought It would save me another Journey if you put It down now. "That won't do at said the clerk. "Perhaps your father will live for a long while yet?" "Well, I don't know," responded the apprentice, doubt-fully. 'The doctor says he won't, and he knows what he has given him." Harper's Weekly.

5. The main division of the German fleet, commanded by Admiral Prince Henry of Prussia, has left Kiel. Although It was reported that the division was only moving on a three days' practice cruise, It Is rumored hi-re that the war ships are proceeding to Portugal. This Is considered to be very probable' because British ships have been ordered there for the protection of foreigners. PEAKER CANNON and Representative Payne, of New, York, the House leader at Washington, are determined to prevent tariff revision as long as possible.

They want nothing done at present. The appointing of a tariff commission to consider a revision of the schedules does not appeal to them. Although the proposed commission is approved by the Manufacturers' Association, the "stand patters" cry for delay. They will find themselves opposing the sentiment of the country. It is generally recognized, regardless of political considerations, that the tariff schedules should be amended.

The tariff is designed for the benefit of all the people for. the general welfare and not to fill the pockets of a few individuals. Delaware Republicans, at their convention, favored a revision of the tariff and Senator DuPont clearly states their position in his letter to the New Castle men who recently wrote him concerning the tariff question.
