Albany, Feb. 25.—Following a heated argument with Commissioner of High- ways Frederic Stuart Greene, during which the commissioner charged him with having been disloyal and dis- obedient, Theron M. Ripley, for six years division engineer of the highway de- partment with headquarters at Water- town, was asked to resign his post. Mr. Ripley did not submit his resig- nation and he was removed for causes, said Secretary Huis of the state high- way iepartment this afternoon. Commissioner Greene lost no time In picking a successor to Mr. Ripley, for L. D. Brownell was appointed this morn- ing and appeared at Secretary of State Hugo's office shortly after 9 o'clock and was sworn ln. Mr. Ripley had a long and what ia reported to have been a very spirited argument with Commis- sioner Greene yesterday, and shortly af- ter he left the highway offices in Lan- caster street, word sifted through the state capitol that he had been asked to resign because of differences that hai manifested themselves. Mr. Brownell has been ^resident engi- neer of division No. 4 with headquarters at Utlca, since last April. H I survived by 4its widow, Mrs. Fred John Breen and John E.

Mr*- S B rn^.iira; *>n I!f*» of on Many Chanoes March 1, Many changes are scheduled to take place soon after March lBt when the railroads will pass from government con- trol to_ private ownership, and these changes will include several on the St. Lawrence division of the Central. It is understood that A. H. Smith will be re- tained as' the head of the New York Central lines, but that important changes are to be made in the working forces. These, it is understood, will include as- sistant general managers, general super- intendents, division superintendents, and the subordinate poaitlona. Better train service Is promised and an effort will be made to regain a vast amount of lost business. The first of March cannot come any too soon to suit the traveling public. We certainly have had miserable service under government control. PEOPLE IN PRINT. Miss Eulalie McGWvera Is home from Albany. Miss Florence Salsbury left Monday for Somervllle, N. J; Miller G.

No One Can be Found to Serve as Sun- day School Superfndent of This District for $2,000 Salary. makfnff a. ehnW of a flu- fo? the Jefferson Lewis St amea district . schools, the general committee ln charge or t ri © orj^jin i Z&L t ion ms.y xiri Q. it JI c^c cssctry to ask for a larger salary allowance. Two appointees have been lost to the disTrict by reason of better offers elsewhere, the last declination being; that of C. Oliver Moore, of Elmlra. Mason M. Swan, chairman of the general commit- tee and also of the sub-committee which conferred with Mr. Moore, admitted that the committee nas no applicants In mind for the position since Mr. Moore retired from the field. Unless available timber Is reported the matter may be referred back to the original sub-committee, headed by Rev, Frank Anderson, pastor of the First Baptist church, to seek applicants. The general committee Is very anxious to get the work under way. The district comprises Jefferson, St. Lawrence ^nd Lewis counties, and the superintendent will direct much of the Sunday school activity over the three counties. There Is a great deal of work to be done in co-ordinating the schools and arousing interest, and It Is desir- able that the organization be gotten under way early in the spring. In fact, it had been expected to have a superin- tendent named and at work long before this. '* Funds derived from the Sunday Bchool drive last year make available about $2,000 for salary of a superintendent. It is becoming apparent that this figure may not be sufficient to draw competent applicants, and ways and means for In- creasing 1 .the remuneration may be sought while it la known that members of the committee have this part of the problem In mind, it is understood that the matter has not been considered by the committee. Already there is talk among the offi- cials 61 the St. Lawrence division of the New Tork Central that the return of the control of railroads- by the government to private ownership will result N In a better summer service than northern New York has seen since the beginning of the war, says the Watertown Times, and [ tha,t this plan will include the old time excursions to the Thousand Islands, the Adirondacks, Ontario Beach and other \ points, -which the people used to seek for , recreation at week-ends during the hot summer weather. It Is fully expected that the spring and fall excursions to New York and Boston j will be restored and that there i» even : a chance of having a spring excursion to Washington this year. With March 1, the date for the owning railroad corporations to take back full charge of their lines, near at hand, these corporations are getting ready to solicit business and meet their competitors on the old ground. Traveling passenger agents will get into the field again after business for their own lines. In years past It has been customary to run the spring excursion from north-! ern New York to Washington the week [ before Easter and it has been necessary to have several, weeks' preparation for this, which because of'the small margin of time between March 1 and Easter, ; may make it Impossible to work up sufn- f cient business for a personally conducted tour this year. j There Is every indication that the : Thousand Islands will be more popular!. with summer tourists this year then' eve*r before and that an elaborate sum- i mer service will have to be provided on the St, Lawrence division on that ac- count Although It was said today at division headquarters that the officials were only beginning to think about the ! things that would have to be done for the J service after the release of the railroads from government control, it is now be- lieved that there will have to be an ex- tensive parlor car and sleeper service to provide for the comfort of the people who will traveh to and from the Thousand I Islands by train. It Is expected that there will be the summer Sunday excur- Bion schedules to all of the resort points on this division. Traveling 1 Passenger Agent P. B. Max- well will find his duties considerably extended after the roada go back to private control, and he will look after the excursion business that is to be handled on the division. The office of General Agent W. H. Northrop of the passenger department of the St. Law- rence and Ontario divisions will resume its former activity when the railroads begin to devote more attention to the passenger business. Railroad men say also that there la an outlook for an exceptionally heavy j freight business on the division this sum- fingr^ Industrial irtanta-will .be-keptr-nm-- I take care of the heavy peace time bus!- the war.

SELFISHNESS GREATEST SIN. Scores \JSrab All You Can\ Policy, Profiteers and \Wageteers\ as of Similar Consistency. Selfishness was emphasized as on'e of the greatest sins of the hour by Rev. Bernard Iddings Bell, president of St. Stephen's College at Annandale-on-the- Hudson and formerly one of the chap- lains at Great Lakes Naval Training fftatlon*. In addressing the noonday Len- ten service in St. Paul's church,-Syra- cuse, Monday. He made a plea for peo- ple to get away from self. In the opinion of Mr, Bell present dis- tresses. Industrial, political and inter- national, will never be over and the country will not arrive at a state where individuals can be happy and serene again until people in all walks of life who have been saved from •'the domi- nance of self In this generation, act as leaders of the rest. There is no hope he declared, for human exaltation by a mere co-operative pull at the collec- tive boot-strap. Mr. Bell said, in part: \One grows weary of people whose passionate longing for social salvation Is unaccompanied with a realization that society Is only the sum of the indivi- duals composing It. I once knew a femin- ist who, nevertheless, beat his wife. Of similar consistency are those who them- selves a-fe profiteers or wageteers and yet prate of patriotism and social Jus- tice. ' • \ \The moral maxim, or rather the im- moral maxim, on which our present day Is built, is 'grab all you can get for as little ln service as you can get by with.' We are impregnated with selfishness Until we are motivated with something greater than self-interest, we shall con- tinue to gallop swiftly toward personal discontent, industrial bankruptcy and international debacle. \The only way to save us from this miasmic selfishness 'Is 'by heroic self- abnegation. We must have some heroic souls who will lead the way for the rest of us and win us to the joyful venture of following them from futility to read manhood. \Some of^us must be saved from this jun toward generation, that they may save the generation from-Itself. The truest social religion Is that which seeks to motivate in dlviduals as to make them followers of Jesus and the blessed saints to supreme heights of selfabnegation. \The chief fault of Christianity has been of late th#t it has been too popu- lar, to ready to lower Its demands to meet the selfish and the worldly on their level. It has been too content to let petty people become contented in their pettiness.'* Election Notice. Notice Is hereby given that the an- nual election of the village of Lowville, N.
