BENEVOLENT ASSOCIATIONS
Il GOOD SIGN.

While we are one OF those who
believe that senator's can and
sometimes do more diSgraceful
things than fight, we are in
clined to think that Senator Joe
Bailey of Texas was just a little
bit too sensitive the other day
when he assaulted the Indiana
senator The latter. it appears,
charged the Texan with having
made an 'unwarranted attack
upon a high official, but he re-
peatedly disclaimed any inten-
tion to give offense to his col
league. We do not think even a
senator should be so thin
skinned as all that. When a
senator aSperSes the character
of another senator it is our can
did opinion that a little scrap
is not altogether unwhOleSOme,
because when a man knows that
an Incorporate use of words on
his part will cause him trouble
he is apt to be more decOrOuS
and courteous. And we think
that United States senator's are
built just like other people,
amenable to the same laws and
influences, and they are likely to
wag their tongues too freely if
they feel that they will not be
held accountable for their utter
anceS.
But in the case of the recent
altercatiOn between the brilliant
young senator from Texas and
the youthful lawgiver of the
HOOSier State, it seems that the
SuperSenSitivene of the Texan
got the better of his Judgment.
The Texan made serious charges
against a certain high official.
The Indianian expressed the
opinion that the charges were
'unwarranted.' The Texan
construed this as a personal in
suit, despite the protest of the
Indianian that it was not an in
suit, and proceeded to resent it
with his fists. 1t appears to US
that question of fact was in
volved in the controversy be-
tween the Texas and Indiana
senators, and there was no rea-
son for a resort to violence.
However. we can not be made
to look upon the United States
Senate as kind Of House of
Lords, governed by Influences
which do not obtain among or
dinary mOrtalS. An occasional
strengthen the conviction that
that august body is not yet hope
leSSly cOmmerciaIized and these
impulSive outbreaks tend to
show that the vulgar SOrdidneSS
of the times has not yet com
pletely taken pos session Of the
''greatest Legislative body of
the world.' Instead of indica
ting the decadence of the Amer
lean Senate we believe the pugi-
liStic exhi ibitiOnS of our of Sena-
torial gladiatOrs point to the
restoration Of it's former virility
if not to a return to its former
greatness.

Southern Education Notes.
In brilliant speech at the
Athens, Ga. Conference fO1
George Tucker paid a glowing
tribute to the press. In his
speech he said that when the
record was made up on educa.
tiOnal advancement in the South,
the work done by the press
would probabl be voted as the
most effective, with the country
newspaper at the top.
We believe this is Il just
tribute. The press does a far
nobler work than is usually at
tributed to it and if the pockets
of the country editor We're as
we'll filled with money as his
paper is with good words for
good measures, he would soon
stances.
And the Southern press is
pushing the cause of public edu-
cation as never before. There are
many papers that never mention
the subject. but there are many
more that preach the gospel OF
education in no uncertain way.
Moreover, they notice the local
schools and have a good word for
them whenever possible. We
noticed recently a victorious
rooster growing Justify on the
front page of the Lafayette, La
Gazette. Wondering what poll
tical election had taken place, we
found that the town had voted in
doubt The Gazette should have
large credit for the victory
No greater cause could engage
the thought of the press and
people than the better education
of the children, and if the in
terest taken by the Louisiana
papers is an index, then educa-
tiOnal matters are moving in
Louisiana. These matters need
to be moved everywhere and
the press can start the move
ment and keep it going.
Madison, Wis, is a university Town,

No one knew why. Finally curious Of

Crime In City and COli ry.

tentiOn of students OF crime the
fact that not IL single case of
murder or manslaughter has Oc'
Cured in the manufacturing city
of Woonsocket, r. l.. in the last
fifteen years. The Republican
gets that very remarkable fact
from the WOOnSOcket cores
pondence of the Providence
Journal, a source entitled to full
credit. WoOnsOcket is very
busy city of 10000 inhabitants.
1t is stated that some O,OOO of
it's residents are employees or
members of the families of en-
plOyes of cotton and wOOlen
mills More than 10000 of the
people are French Canadians, an
example of the change wrought
in New England factory towns
since that not very farOtf time
when the Yankee girls were the
chief and almost the only reli-
ance of textile manufacturers
for all work that did not call fOr.
masculine strength. Other for
eign elements of WOOnsOcket' 5
population have been derived i'm
plentiful measure from recent
immigration from Europe. The
Republican submits that the eX-
emptiOn of this huStling city
from hOmicidal crime for fifteen
years is the more striking when
considered in comparison with
the murders of shocking ma
ture that have occurred in re-
cent years in the rural districts
of Northern Rhode Island, and
our contemporary finds in these
facts confirmation of the point
established some years ago by
the Republican with reference
to Observation-Disclosures the iSO-
latiOn of modern country life
seems more conducive to hOmi
eide than the active, strenuous
and gregarious life of the large
towns and Cities
That theory is confirmed by
the criminal records of the
United States. The attentive
reader of the newspapers knows
are the hauntS of most of the
habitual criminals, the rural re-
giODS are the scenes of most of
the hOmicideS. In fact, the city
has many advantages over the
country as the place to bring up
children in moral and intellec-
tual he alth. And as for physical
health, the city boys and girls
are far and away ahead of their
country cousins.
But there is one good reason
why city children should get ac-
Uuainted with the country and
country children learn some
thing of the city by personal eN-
perience. In each case it is an
educational reason. To per-
son who knows little or nothing
of the country half of the best
literature in the world is unin-
I telligible, Il sealed book. No
amount Of study or schooling
can furnish such a person with
a good education. 1t may be of
less educational value for cOun
try boys and girls to see and
study the city, but it is too i'm
DOrtant to be omitted.
But that 'iSOlatiOn of modern
country life to which the Re
publican alludeS is rapidly dis
appearing. The trolley and the
telephone have attacked and van
quished it along many thousands
of miles of country highways,
and their victorious march is
still onward. Cooperating with
them is rural free delivery of
mails. These three great agen-
cieS have revOlutiOnized country
life in all localities which they
have invaded, and their work is
just begun.

truth that the mission Of all the
churches is to educate the
masses. The church that fails
to so understand it's mission
make poor use of its Opportu-
mites. The great power welded
by the clergy, when used in the
cause Of bobu/or r1Mra/ion. is
IN ore potent for good than any
other human agency. The
church can not engage in a more
broadly patriotic work than the
furtherance of public education.
1t is the one great weapon which
it can WELD to conquer all the
hosts of error. The church that
eXerts itself to bring light to the
humbleSt home in the land un
derstands the supreme duty it
owes to humanity.
The morning papers of New
Orleans evidently care very
little for news from the country
parishes. We know it to be Il
fact that items of great interest
to the people of this section are
often sent by the local corre-
spOndentS, but for some reason
or other they are not published.
In view of the fact that these
papers are extensively circu-
lated in this section it is strange
that their owners should show
such Indifference to matters
which concern so large a num-
ber of their patrons. These pa
perS seem to be unconscious OF
the fact that New Orleans ism t
the whole thing. and that there
are a few people in Louisiana out
side the corporate limits of that
plendid old city. While New Or
leans is trying to get on friendly
terms with Texas, its morning
press might help it to become
acquainted with the many thOuS-
and people who live in the towns
and parishes of Louisiana.
Possibly it might be worth bit
of printers ink to try it. The
New Orleans papers are the only
dailieS read in this section, and
it seems to US the people here
are entitled to some recognition.
In educational and commercial
matters this section of the State
is making rapid stides forward

salaried Charity workers.

a new profession for women that
pays well is that of a charity worker.
There is not much competition as yet,
and the opportunities for studying
charity work are limited, but still it is
now possible.
New York has a training school for
charity workers. The women who en-
ter are put into active service at visit
ing under proper lectures upon the
different phases of the leadership, and
then there are courses of subjects. 1t
is quite worth entering from a finan-
cial standpoint also. Philadelphia is
proverbially conservative. and yet we
pay the young woman at the head of
our organizing charities the salary Of
$1,000, and she can greatly supplement
it by lecturing and literary work upon
the subject of her profession.
Other cities do better than this, and
the time is not far distant when all
charitable work will be conducted in a
methodical manner by an expert, who
will be well paid for her services

They should accustom themselves to
take a cold dash of water over the face

accustomed to it. they can gradually
take more and more until they are able
to stand the shock Or. if warm water
is preferred. finish off with a dash of

The Best Physical Culture.

For arms. fingers and wrists wash
ing and wiping dishes will be found
admirable. one is as good as the 9th

suppleness to the joints of the fingers.
That is an advantage washing dishes
has over wiping them. However, there
is surely fine elbow movement in the
wiping.

homely physical culture academies of
Yankee farmhOuses cannot be too high

HOUSEHOLD HINTS.

If you want to dry damp cellar, let
a bucket of unslaked lime stand in it
for a few weeks.
When windows are difficult to open,
rub the cords with soft soap and the
sashes will run smoothly.
Cheap varnish is said to be much bet
ter than white of egg or any kind of
mucilage for attaching labels to cans
or boxes for the fruit or store closet.
Always keep carbolic acid convenient
for use. 1t is one of the best insect de-
stroyers that can be used. a small
quantity only need be applied at time.
Wringing out a cloth in hot water
and wiping the furniture clean before
putting on the furniture cream will re-
suit in high polish and will not finger
mark.
Far more important than the eXter-
nal beauty of the bed is its ''comforta-
bleness," and the careful housewife will
consider that factor as its first require
ment.
According to a housewife who has
made the experiment, thin coating of
varnish applied to ordinary straw mat
ting will keep it looking fresh and new
and add to its durability.

How Women ShouId Stand.

To stand correctly is an art in itself
Few women know how TO assume a
correct upright position. Five minutes
practice each day will enable you to
solve the problem and give you a grace
full carriage. Walk up to a wall touch
it with your nose, chest and toes, and
you will have the correct position for
standing. The hips should be thrown
back. the abdomen in and the shoulders
squared. This will give the stylish
fairness that shows off the fashionable
gown. \ good exercise to give you the
correct attitude is: Keep the heels to-
gethcr at an angle of sixty degrees,
having the weight of the body resting
on the balls of the feet, not on the
heels. The chest should be thrown
forward, the chin held in. the abdo-
men drawn back and the hips held
back

Give Your Child n Garden.

1t is an exceptional child who would
not value flowers and a garden Of its
own. Boys and girls alike are delight
ed with the very idea or possessing q
bit of ground where they can plant
things and watch them grow. The
workers in city missions know that
even the most unpromising specimens
of Stun childhood can be won by flow
ers, and among children of more favor
ed classes the moral influence of flow
ers is force though it is not recog-
nized nor extended as it might be. Peo-
pie living in villages or small cities
usually have some ground around their
homes in which they can set apart q
place for the children's garden. The
love Of nature fostered by this garden
making will prove a constant source
of pleasure through the child's life. The
