one being that little children have

evidences of the wildness of foreign

ANorHER STATEHOOD FIenr.


II is promised that there will be an
early renewal in the next congress Of
the fight for the admission of the ter
ritories to statehood and 1t Is said that
already the advocates of their admis-
sion are planning for the contest Ac-
cording to a Washington report Sen
ator Beveridge and those who stood
with him in the long fight last winter
are willing to vote for the admission
of Oklahoma without the Indian terri
tory, but there is no disposition to re
consider the position taken as to New
Mexico and Arizona The opposition
to them, It is stated, stands just where
it was during the session.
The delegate from New Mexico, Mr..
Rodney, is quoted in Washington dis
patches as confidently predicting the
admission OF that territory at the next
session OF congress, but indicated that
It may be necessary. to form com
bination with Arizona by which the
two territories would come in asfone
state. It is somewhat doubtful, how
ever, whether such combination can
be made. We think 1t not improbable
that all Of these territories will be
given statehood by the Fifty-eighth
congress. but It is not at all likely
that this will be dore at the first ses-
sion

SALOONS AND PAuPERs.

u
A prominent Traer citizen pro-
pounds the following question: Why
is it that Elberon, Dysart and Reinbeck
with one to four saloons each, have
few, IL any bills for paupers, white
Traer. Toledo and Tama, dry towns,
have bills for paupers by the wholesale?
Will someone please explain? Tenn
perance lecturers tell US that saloons
make poverty. while prohibition makes
wealth, health and happiness. Why,
then, are saloon towns free from pau
pers nearly? The above question is
open for answer-Toledo Democrat.
Does the prominent Traer citizen
wish to be underst TODD as believing
that the saloons reduce pauperism? III
such is his belief. why does he not take
advantage of the open columns OF th2
county press and elucidate his theories
Elberon, Dysart and Reinbeck, COM
paratively small towns, without eS
tensiva manufacturing business or
other enterprises of magnitude, natural
ly do not attract any considerable pro-
portion of the so-called floating pop
ulation. 1t is well known that the larger
a city becomes, the larger Its proportion
of INDECENT citizens. 1t is not strange,
that Traer, Toledo and
lama have more paupers than the
other towns ramed. The attempt to
create the impression that the absence
of saloons increases poverty is simply
ridiculous If there is any one fact
that has been established 1T is that

CURIOUS SCENE IN GENOA,
A Street Where the Suns Light Is
Obscured by DRYING Clotheg.


One Of the most curious scenes in
all Italy is to be found in the laun
dresses quarter in Genoa. This quar-
ter consists Of IL short street which is
reached by descending a few steps
branching off from the main thorough
fare. Buildings CT six stories rise on
each side of the street. and from ev-
cry one OF their windows is stretched
one or more clotllesiines sagging with
the weight OF apparel of every kind
and condition. An eternal shadow cast
by hundreds of drying garments hangs
over this quarter and makes it dark
and gloomy. The pedestrian who looks
upward toward the blue sky can see
nothing but cloud of variegated shape
and color which effectively obscures
the light of the sun.
In the center of the street below
there stand in a sort of summer house
q number of public tanks. Crowds OF
shrill voiced women gather day by day
about this out of door laundry to eX-
change the gossip of the quarter and
wash out their piles Of soiled linen.
From the appearance of the lines which
stretch and intertWine far above the
pavement it is to be judged that adj the
washing that is done in Genoa ut all
is done in this particular street.-De

the same story, except that the per-
centage mounts more slowly. The reg

constitutional disease, It is sometimes

food and unsanitary dwellings. and is to
some extent both contagious and infec-

the CARROLL PRODUCERS, CLUB.

! The superintendent of The city schools
at Carroll has evolved a scheme for the
| / anuai training of the pupils under h
charge which it is expected will result
to their benefit. 1t is proposed to Sc
cure a sufficient plot of ground and
teach the boys gardening. An organi-
cation TO be called the Producers Club
will be formed from the pupils, which
will prepare the ground. pant, cultivate
and sell the crop. A number of the
more prominent citizens of the city
have given approval anG promise of
substantial aid for the project.
Whether or not the Producers Club
has on hand a comfortable cash balance
when the potato harvest is over. the or
ganization Will benefit the schoolboys
simply by teaching the basic principles
of associated effort. To be sure old
fogies may argue that most excellent
opportunities to acquire a working
knowledge of gardening exist in the
much manual training o. high type
may be had carrying In wood and wa
ter. running errands and generally
saving steps for mother. The truck
farmers who have eked out a living
furnishing fresh vegetables to the pam
pered Carroll appetite will look askance
~
be by hundreds of solicitors for bust
ness and hundreds of carriers for deliv-
cry. Then, too, the football and base
ball teams are sure to suffer and the
Coon will miss the naked legion that
lined It's banks last summer Two fin
gers held erect may come to mean, in
Carroll. the garden patch and not the
river reaches. Good Buys anxious to
please their dear teacher will moil in
the hot sun nursing young onions and
training carrots in the way to grow. The
wicked youth, deaf to admonition and
lacking in natural affection, will haunt
the shady swimming holes and arriving
late at home smear his knees with gar
den dirt and attribute lhe dampness of
his hair to the sweat of his brow.
Nevertheless the Producers Club will
do good and not harm. An old build-
ing, roomy and fitted with benches and
tools. where pupils might spend an hour
or two daily learning manual dexterity
with tools under competent instructors,
might be better, but course of garden
ing with the responsibility of making
the organization success will be OF
great value to the boys.
