In his opening chapters Mr.. Benson half .n-

this latest book Of his he shows, after while.
that he has been growing more thoughtful. tha-

Value of G ood Schools

The watchword Of every citizen
who has the towns interests at heart
and wishes to see it grow in size and
prosperity should be, "I will give
every dollar can possibly afford to
our sehools.u And what is more, he
should keep that watchword In mem-
ory. A town that is liberal In its
appropriations for educational pur-
poses is a good town every time
Poor schools are good enough for
poor town, but town that is full of
the true essence Of "get there" will
never have anything in the educa-
tional line but the very best thing
that money can buy. Benjamin
franklin once said, ga penny saved
is penny earned" but a penny that
is saved at the expense Of a towns
public schools is far from being a
penny earned.
One Of the first inquiries a manu-
facturef makes when he contemplates
locating in town is concerning the
towns school facilities. In nine cases
out of ten he has family of children,
and where he goes they must go and
where his factory is located they
must be educated. If the town has
schools that are the pride and that
have the unstinted praise of every
citizen ne meets, the fact is often the
means Of largely influencing him to
locate.
Good schools are never lights
hidden under a bushel. Their bril-
lance is soon visible for many miles
around, and not a year passes that
scores Of pupils from neighboring
towns and from outlying country
schools do not attend, and not only
assist in supporting the schools by
their tuition, but spend considerable
money annually in the stores of the
local merchants.

The Local Newspaper

The editors of the weekly papers
take a greater interest in and do
more for the welfare of the locality in
which they live than any other class
Of business men, yet they are no more
directly benefited by the results of
their public spirited efforts than the
merchants and property owners who,
perhaps, neglect to have their names
on the EDITORS subscription list or fail
to advertise in his paper.
In attracting trade to the town in
which it is published the immense
power a local newspaper possesses
can hardly be estimated. He who
will impartially consider this asser-
tion will be convinced of the truth of
it. The local paper is very naturally
biased in favor of the place of its pub
lication and if given a fair living
patronage by home business men will
guard well their interests, just as the
merchant guards the interests Of his
individual customer.
But if a niggardly support is doled
out to it and it is compelled to solicit
custom from neighboring cities it can
not do in behalf Of its own town as II
otherwise would. Try a system OF
liberality in the matter of advertising
expenditure and mark the result.

Well paved and neatly kept
streets and sidewalks speak for
themselves, and too much stress
cannot be laid upon the Importance
Of having and maintaining them.
The air of respectability and pros
perity impresses the stranger within
the gates and assures him that here
is a town that is very much alive
and even with the times, and this
impression is never wrong. Parsi.
mony in this respect IS the antlthesis
of economy, and sooner or later
the truth Of this statement will
be- demonstrated
No community can afford to bear
an aspect of dilapidation and neglect
that is foreign too real stats of af
fairs, and, in fact, very few do.
We may take it as settled, then,
contrary to the words Of the song,
things are nearly always what they
sem, especially when applied to the
outward evidence to the inward
wholesomeness presented by smooth
and we'll kept roadways and ample
sidewalks Of tagging or asphalt.
A handsome and durable roadway
for a town or country is macadam
or tslford pavement properly and
scientifically constructed. For
streets where good deal Of heavy
hauling is done perhaps the square
stone blocks may be Necessary, but
the latter is only required where
the traffic is continuous and excep-
tionally heavy. For all ordinary pur.
poses the broken stone pavement
ment is sufficient and easily kept II

Mr.. Cleveland's fear that the Re-
publicans would steal "tariff reform"
away from the democrats smacked a
good deal Of the campaign orator,
and was hardly up to the usual
Cleveland utterance--ponderous, but
measurably sincere. There is a large
and deep chasm between democratic
tariff reform and republican revision
Of the tariff.
Those who know, or who are sup
posed to know, figure "Uncle" Joe
Cannon as the next speaker of the
House of Representatives. One hum
dred and Ave votes out Of the 20s in
the republican caucus will be neces-
sary to insure his selection. AS Bah
cock, Of Wisconsin, has not allowed
his own state to endorse him, this
leaves the field in the middle west
clear for Mr. Cannon. AS a result 78
votes are assured for the "watch dog"
of the treasury. With the p votes
of Massachusetts,, New Hampshire,
Connecticut, Tennessee, Colorado, the
Dakotas, Montana, and Idaho, which
are supposed, by virtue Of location,
to be with him, he will have the re-
quisite 106. This, without taking
into account the vote Of Ohio, New
York; Pennsylvania, New Jersey, or
the Pacific Coast. The speaker re-
ceives a salary Of $1,000, including
his MEMBERS pay of $4,000.
Reports from Boston have it that
Gov. Crane, Of Massachusetts,, is to
succeed Shaw as secretary OF the
Treasury. The latter is to be given
good foreign mission. In Wash
ingtOn this is looked upon as merest
humor, though certain changes in
the Cabinet are imminent.
Canadian lumbermen are very
much exercised over the rumOr that
the United States is to levy a duty
Of $4 per thousand on Canadian sawn-
lumber as a reprisal for the embargo
placed on the export Of pulp wood by
the provincial governments Of Ontar-
10 and Quebec. The embargo has
crippled many paper mills Of this
country, ard it looks as though Cam
ada can be brought to terms by such
a course Of retaliation.

ton each new congressional arrival
asks when he reaches Washington,
and they are coming in crowds.
The answer no man can give and it
is probably safe to say that Mr.
Roosevelt himself does not know.
At the Oyster Bay conference it wns
determined that it would be unwiss
to disturb the extraordinary prosper
ity the country is now enjoying by
tanperiug with the tariff schedules.
When the president got ready TO
write his message he called another
conference Of republican leaders and
it was determined that if proper
trust legislation were enacted at the
short session that would be all It
would be reasonable to expect, that
tariff commission could be esiab-
lished TO investigate the situation and
report to the first session of the
Fifty y-eighth Congress and that it
would then be time enough to decide
