Municipalities in Good
Clean1y Condition
"The Making Of a City" was the
subject of a recent lecture by Prof.
Charles Genblin OF the University Of
chicago. Itis a lecture replete with
valuable suggestions for civic clubs.
The professor says "rhe house
wives Of the city know a great deal
more about cleaning and keeping
clean, than the busy hard headed
business men who are supposed to
look after the streets. The term
municipal housekeeping Is not a
misnomer Therefore the task of
cleaning the streets, and keeping
them clean, should be turned over
to the housewives, who are exper-
fenced, in tead of being left to be
mismanaged by business men" "
This is practical advice It is
absurd to entrust the housekeeping
of city to men who could not run
their individual homes without the
assistance of women. City mothers
would never endure the laundering
results frequently perpetrated by
city fathers In one district of
Philadelphia the streets are swept
one day. and followed the next day
by the collection of ashes and gar
bage The flying papers and dirt
attendant on this collection remains
on the streets until the next weekly
sweeping. What competent council.
WON an would tolerate such reversed
housekeeping, city or domestio2
Taxpaying women everywhere
should insist in the ballot as the
means of protection to the home.
Until women can elect candidates to
fill municipal positions, it is a vain
struggle for thorough and efficient
municipal housekeeping The ballot
places our city rulers in power, and
constituents are rewarded with op-
portunities and positions. AS women
cannot vote, and are not constitu-
ents, how can they obtain the oppor-
tunity to serve the housekeeping oi
the city? IDA PORTER BOYER.

publie Land stealine

The grave charges made against
Secretary Hitchcock have further
basis than the attempts of irresponsi-
BILE newspaper men to create sensa-
tional news. 1t is rumored that the
efforts to secure Mr. Hitchcock's
downfall emanate from those who
have been defeated in their efforts at
public land stealing by the secretary's
Investigations and rulings. Exami-
nations into and light thrown upon
the land grabs in the Indian Terri
tory, and throughout the entire west
will lead to radical reform in the
land laws, if the president and his
secretary of the interior have their
way. Congress will be strongly
appealed to to put an end to existing
conditions, under which land robbing
is easy, both Of the nation and of
bona hd settlers. The grafters may
proceed legally, but they eyade the
spirit Of the law through technieali-
ties. The land Office records show
thousands Of acres Of timber land
being sold every month at $3.50
which is known to be worth $50 an
acre. 1t passes at once into the hands
Of timber spectators. Legislation
should be so shaped that dummy
entries on the public domain are
impossible and toprevent spectators,
cattle barons and large stock interests
gaining control and ownership Of
vast tracts Of grazing lands. It is
recommended that the desert land
act be repealed; also that the COM
mutation clause Of the homestead
act be removed and that the timber
and stone law be repealed.

President Roosevelt has announc-
ed an important policy which is
hereafter to govern the American
consular service. With the greatly
increased extension of the foreign
trade of the United States, it has
become daily more apparent that
greater efficiency in the consular
service was required aud the presi-
dent has determined to take long
step IN the direction Of promoting
that efficiency by adopting a policy
Of promotion for consuls who have
proved their ability. Hereafter, it
is announced, no one will be ap-
pointed consul at an important post
until he has served at a post Of less
importance for a sufficient time to
demonstrate his ability and general
fitness for promotion. While this
policy does not extend to the con-
sular service the protection of the
civil service regulations, or neces-
sary extend the tenure Of Office Of
the consuls, It Is claimed that it does
give to the commercial interests Of
this country assurance that in a
comparatively brief time all import
ant consular stations will be filed,
not only by men Of character and
ability, but by men who. by training
and experience. are especially fitted
60 advance the trade interests Of the
United States.
