Taken Up in the Schools.

Icivic art improvements which neither
the cunning hand of the painter nor
of the sculptor could hope to rival
or even family initiate.
''To teach the children and inhabi-
tants of the city to decorate their
front yards with vines, plants and
trees is to start crusade against
present conditions that may eventual
~ result in remarkable transforma-
tiOns. The Woman's Municipal
league of Brooklyn has undertaken
this work i'm practical and sensible
manner. and the Block Beautiful is
one of the results of their efforts.
The league extends its influence over
all the different sections of the city
and cooperates with all societies and
organizations Interested in civic art
improvements. Several of the public
schools have been transformed in out
ward appearance by the scholars.
who have been induced to experiment
with window fiowcr-boNes. All

these boxes produce abundant clus-
tcrs of flowers and trailing vines to

zion of these flowers testifies to
their appreciation of things beauti

considering the advisability of eN-
tending fiower-culturc in all the
schools. for the double purpose of in
teresting the scholars in the plants
and for decorating the front and
sides of the buildings.
The art movement includes also
the planting of vines. gardens and
trees. Unlike New York houses,
many of the blocks in Brooklyn have
front yards. and it is the purpose of
the leaders in the movement TO take
block after block and make it as at
tractive as possible through plant
and tree culture. The work extends
from the richest to the poorest
homes. \ house-by-housc canvass is

INTEREST I'M HOME IMPROVEMENT

The question of home improve
ment has been taken up in earnest
by the citizens of Moline, particularly
the ladies. Prizes have been ar
ranged for, and efforts put forth to
interest the school children. People
here are glad to note this, and hope
the good work will still go ON, and
that the work of home Improvement
has come to stay.
The work in this city has received Il
great deal of attention. The teach
crs of the public schools have taken
UP the matter with the children and
the children have been addressed di-
rectly ON the subject.
There is no work that can bc Eiadc
mole interesting fer the h.ldren than
the care of garden, flower, ana vines.
There is something in the growing Of
flowers and the care of Il garden that
viii interest children when their ef
forts are Propt rly encouraged.
TIE season Is now upon us when
the garden must be considered. T."

summer. THIS must not he done in
view of the effort 10 create Il public
interest. If this movement Is sue
cessful this summer, Il more perfect
organization will be formed that will
include Il representative in every
block in the city. Let the people
now show themselves public-spirited
and tasteful in the ornamentation
of the home residence lot. \ united
effort i'm this direction will improve
Rock Island as it has never been
improved before. Let us see the
beautiful geraniums, sweet peas,

The Union Station Bill.

The House District committees report on
the union station bill, printed In yester-
days Star, follows the lines laid down a,
the recent meeting Of the committee, when
It was voted to recommend the Massa-
chusetts avenue site and the curtaiimen'
OF the bonus to be paid to the railroad
companies by 81, GOO coo. The matter Is now
in good shape to be pressed to action next
Monday, and 1t seems to be the present
program to ask the House for the regular
District day then in order that this I'M
portant bill may be sent into conference
before the Christmas holidays.
Inasmuch as the railroads stand ready
and willing to engage in the work imme-
diately upon the enactment of the law II
is to be hoped that Congress will not allow
many more weeks to pass without final &C
ton. The laws abolishing grade crossings
were passed nearly two years ago. and the
evils which they were designed to abate
continue as menacing as ever, while the
railroad facilities remain inadequate. Inc
necessity for perfectIng the pending legis-
lation Is urgent. Whether the union sta
ton be built at Massachusetts, avenue or
G street, there should be no hesitation
about approving the union station idea'
which solves the railroad problem in the
best possible fashion.

Lively Times in Venezuela.

The Venezuelan affair. becomes more Sc
rious. -rTeday's bulletins from London,
from an unofficial source, announce that
tho British and Germans have landed at
La Guayra for the purpose Of effecting the
capture Of President Castro. and that fight
ing has occurred in the streets between
1t appears that the European allies are
intent upon forcing matters. Their seizure
Of the Venezuelan naval vessels was an act
of war in the absence Of any definite decla-
ration. It seems to have been intended as
a reprisA for the arrest Of British and Ger
man subjects in Caracas. 1t will rest for
later reports to indicate whether the powers
have acted unfairly in thus Fastening hos
Titles in the absence Of warnings, or
whether President Castro himself took the
belHgerent initiative by the arrest Of the
foreigners. In any case 1t is now improb-
able that the dispute will be peacefully set
tied.
A report has gained currency that Ger
many and England have given the United
States assurance that they will not attempt
any territorial seizures to indemnify them
selves either for the debts owed or for the
cost Of the war. This would be the simple
and straightforward way to avoid misun-
Outstanding and possible friction. It would
be in effect an acceptance Of the Monroe
doctrine 1t Is to be hoped that there has
been such an assurance and that the
United States can rest content with the
situation as regards its own interests how
ever 1t may be stirred emotionally by the
happenings in Venezuela.

dattering endorsement at the polls to sus-
tain him. would appear to be able to carry
