SAVES TEN THOUSAND.
Secretary of State Brown Is Using
DecOmposed Granite.

Secretary of State Brown knows a
good thing when he sees it, and has
struck one this time that will save the
State $4,000 and give perfect salts
faction.
1t had been the intention of the Capt.
toll Commissioners to put down bitumen
walks through the back part of Capitol
Park to the Pavilion and also the
curved and other walks through that
portion of the park.
Here Is where Mr.. Brown struck it
rich. Warden Aul offered to supply de-
composed granite for So a carload, and
Mr.. Brown having seen at the depot
what an excellent walk 1t makes, imme-
diately conceived the idea that it would
fill the bill in the park and save lot
of money. Hence the walks are being
covered with it,

EFFECTS OF CHEAPENING LIFE.


Mr.. Gunton in his magazine holds
against the effort of philanthropists and
semi-charitable organizations to estab-
lish 10 cent lodging-houses and cent
restaurants. He holds that such insti-
tutions are in the long run injurious to
the very people they are supposed to
benefit because they induce the estab-
lshment of lower standards of living
and an inferior estimate of social life.
To just that extent they create per-
manently depressing influence upon the
wages Of American labor. and induce
the input of the European proletariat,
which adds to the influences which lower
social character and the standard Of our
civilization.
There is strength and truth in all that
which ought to quicken thoughtful con-
sideration. A great deal depends upon
the physical feeding, upon the grooming
so to speak, Of the American citizen, in
fashioning and bettering his intel
lectual, moral and general development
If We feed low we must expect its nat
ural results; If we make it possible to
exist on a pittance, the wage level will
decline to meet that condition Just as
surely as water reaches its level and
the result VIII be destructive of both the
capacity and the ambition to enjoy bet
ter conditions and to strive for higher
standards.
AL degradation and pauperizing of the
social life, no matter under what eco
nomic fad 1t Is cloaked, is bad for the
citizen. Social inferiority inevitably
gives Us intellectual and mental. and
most generally moral inferiority. 1t
debases tastes, benumbs aspiration and
destroys wholesome ambition Moreover.
the lower the standard of physical living
the less the desire to rise out Of it.
The comforts of life added to the ne
cessities-not meaning the luxuries or
extravagances Of Hfe-the comforts Of
life, we say, just in proportion to the
ability to have and enjoy them, lift up.
induce content and afford leisure which
is the chiefest profit Of human labor.
and leisure properly employed means in
creased knowledge. strengthened men
tality, improved tastes and higher
ideals. and ought to mean better morals
and deeper convictions of truth.
What We want for our people is the
most work possible, that we may have
not only more Of product, but better re-
suits Of labor, better citizenship. more
independent manliness, a still more pro-
gressive and ambitious civilization; the
highest wage that is justifable. and the
largest measure Of leisure possible. We
cannot but agree with Mr. Gunton on
another proposition, namely:
Efforts to supply model tenements to
the working class is an attempt to slim
ulate home-making and rests on family
lie. This is a moral and economic move
ment, and is deserving Of all the helms
tnat can be given by municipal co-oner-
alton But the lodging houses are not
promotive Of family life, and that tbev
are commercially profitable only shows
tnat we are developing a class that in
poverty and moral degradation we SIM
posed we should be free from in a conn
try so new and full Of Industrial onror-
tunities as is ours.

NOTE AND COMMENT.

The weather has turned refreShingly
and joyously warm at last. Winter has
been bounced out Of the lap of spring,
and that maiden now proposes to make
UP for lost time and usher summer in
next week with a warm hand.
1t is discreditable to human nature
that 1t should be necessary in this day
and age of enlightenment and humanity
to organize societies to prevent cruelty
to children. But then, it is creditable
to society that such associations are
formed, and that men and women can
be found in plenty to fill their ranks.
Professor Lugger in his annual re-
port as entomologist at the State Ex-
pertinent Station in Minnesota, de-
votes a chapter to the spelling of the
title ''chinch- bug" He gives a list Of
sixty distinct ways of spelling It,
When scientist devotes so much of
official report to so inconsequential a
matter it is evident that the man does
not fill the office. Life is too short,
time too precious, and the peoples
money too hard-earned to permit OF
driveling in an official report over such
a matter.
Is there any end to the sentimental
path to the popular heart in the matter
Of recalling the charms and memories
of home? We expect not. The jingling
rhymes about old-time doings and
things touch US all upon the quick, and
despite their triviality we all love them.
But really the song fad is run to the
extreme when we get down to such
sentimental softness as is exemplified
by the latest of these homely songs,
jingle by a Mr.. Hale of Memphis, who
is on the crest Of the wave just now
with d song, The Clock That Father
Used to Wind" Much more vivid
memories would be revived and deep
Impressions recalled by these titles
which we suggest to ballad writer's
The Switch That Father Used to
Cut" THE Slipper Mother Used to
Weld" THE Ear Grandma Used to
Twist"

The House has passed the immigra-

all immigrants to the United States

City; while in other cases the demands
Of the wheelmen have been just, as in
the tax appropriation for good roads in
New Jersey. the crossing and speed
regulations in many cities, and the path
construction privilege in Wisconsin and
Illinois, the boulevard privilege on Long
Island, and the road rules in Pennsyl
vanfa, Ohio and Kentucky. But the
bicyclists having now SO much power
need as they are advised in the article
referred to, ''to go easy" They are not
asked to waive any right, to submit to
any imposition, or to be patient beyond
reason. But they must remember that
the earth was created first and the bicy-
Gle after, and that if conditions do not
fit the latter in the former all at once,
it is the part of wisdom to wait for ad-
justment, to come about in an orderly
way. The world has come to the bfcy-
clists' way Of thinking more rapidly
than has been done in any other case
in all history of a new factor introduced
in society. Indeed, the adaptation has
been phenomenal and astonishing. It is
wise, therefore, to be patient, and not
push things too fast, More will be
gained by coolness, collectedness, per-
sistence and patience, than by too much
vigor in pushing reform and demands,
or by threats of use of political lashes.
The Chino champion" ds astounded
at the plank in the PopuIist platform
that demands the stripping of power
from the Supreme Court, to review the
acts of Congress, to ascertain if they
conform with constitutional restric-
tions. Tt asks:
Inasmuch as the function of the judi
cial branch of the Government is to in
terpret the laws, both statutory and
constitutional, it may be a legitimate
inquiry as to who would pass upon these
courts and their decisions in case the
latter clause of the foregoing plank
should prevail.
1t is useless to PROFOUND questions of
that order to the PopuIist platform
makers. They have no more belief in
the plank than has the champion.
It was put in to placate the grand army
of destructionists and obstructionists.
