only in an abstract sense. If Jefferson
or Lincoln Or any of the other great
leaders were alive at the present time
it is extremely doubtful whether they
would hold the same opinion that they
did or advocate the same principles.
We Americans have moved faster than
any other nation on earth. Conditions
are always changing and it is believe
very foolish to be a democrat or repub-
lican simply because of the glorious
leaders who lived a half century ago.
The government of city is much
like the management of large busi
ness. The man or men at the helm will
succeed in either case only by exercis-
ing honesty, economy and prudence.
That the municipal governments of
the United States generally are either
corrupt or inefficient is an indisputable
fact. 1t would be presumptuous
lGdeed for me to suggest any remedy
in view of the fact that there are thous-
ands of men with far better mental
equipment than I who have failed to
better existing conditions, but I do firm
ly believe that until the voters in our
cities learn to vote for the candidate
with the best qualifications, honesty, in
tegrity and administrative ability, un-
til they eliminate partisanship from
their choice of city officials, municipal
government will always be either in
efficient or corrupt. F. T.

GO the Point.

He wore a silk hat and frock coat.
His mustache was neatly waxed and he
was in every respect young man of
dashing appearance. He walked into
a suburban car on the Northwestern
road, gallantly escorting a young wom-
an. The young woman was also gaily
attired. She wore gorgeous silk shirt
waist and her hat was creation. It
projected in front like scoop shovel,
and on either side grew forest of os-
trich plumes. at the rear on either
side was big black wing, while be-
tween them showed her auburn hair,
arranged in big knot at the back of
her head.
Both of them had naughty and ex-
elusive air, and they created quite a
commotion as they swept down the
aisle to the end of the car. The young
man arranged his coat tails gracefully,
laid his cane in the corner of the seat,
gave an admiring glance at his COM
panion, and then looked about to see if
they we're making the proper impres
sion.
Strangely, he caught smile in the
eyes of the man across the aisle and
one seat back. But the smiler quickly
buried himself in his newspaper. Then
couple of girls directly to the rear be-
gan to giggle. The young man grew
plainly worried In few moments al
most all the people in the car were
busy concealing their mirth.
Fortunately the unconscious two
were only going to Evanston. They
got off there and walked away, the
young man having partly recovered his
self-sufficiency. Perhaps he never
learned what was the matter.
But the moment the couple left the
car roar of laughter swept up and
down the aisles.
Attached to the young woman's new
hat by white thread was white
paper tag. This hung just between the
two wings at the rear of the hat and
lay against the young woman's auburn
hair. And on the tag in large black
letters was the legend Reduced
to $64S."- Chicago Tribune.

Balloon for Ecnsumptives.

That there is benefit to be derived
from the rare6ed air, as well as in the
climatic change, has prompted DR..
Naugier, of Paris, to suggest, in a re-
cent paper before the Academic de
Medicine, the possibilities of hospital
balloons. He asserted that two hours
trip in the air causes an increase of the
red corpuscles, and improvements that
continue for several days after an as
cent. Two such ascents in the course
of six or seven weeks he considers as
more beneficial to an anaemic than a
sojourn of three months in the noun

Earpsst Cine.

When little Bacchus in purpling shadows
Drinks to the harvest year:
when the harvest moon with her keen bright
sickle
Mows through the valleys sere;
When golden Plenty and Peace her sister,
With the BacchaDals, come arm in arm,
To drink of the years rare vintage flowing
In the red wine rich,and warm:
Then littls Bacchus in purpling shadows
Lifts his golden goblet high,
And drinks, with the Baccanals in waiting,
Tothe bright days soon to die;
And the harvest moon grows faint and fainter;
And dims and dies in the chill of the morn.
While the east wind blows through the BLACK
ened grasses
To answer the hunters horn.

Soul. if for thee the deep abysses yawn,
Hold thou thy torch above the darkness there,
That souls far off may hail it as the dawn;
Since, tho the light may cheat their craving

For one dear hour twill make their pathway fair
And, ere it sink, for them the sun may rise.
Let me cry Hope, tho myself despair!

Two Factors of Civil
liZatiOn.

speakers to discuss civilization as
tho it were an entlty-a some
thing tangible that may be TAX
en- up or laid aside at will; that may be
handed by one nation to another at
pleasure. Almost every newspaper has
something to say regarding the bestoW-
al of American civilization on the Fill
pinos, or conferring Western civiliza-
sion on China.
Civilization is a process, character
ized by the subjugation and discipline
of individual desire in order that the
well-being of the communitys@smay be
promoted. 1t is progress from egoism,
pure and simple, to more or less we'll
defined spirit of altruism. (And L may
say in parenthesis that the writer's who
ascribe progressiveness to "an occult
tendency Inherent in human nature"
are also in error, as one realizes when
one recalls the fact that over more than
half the world stagnation has been the
rule after very limited development
has been reached.) Civilization is
condition in which men refrain from
doing those things which, while they
might perhaps advance the interests OF
she individual, would endanger the
welfare of the state. And the state OF
civilization of any given people.is high
or low as this spiritsof altruism is pro-
nounced or vague. To talk then OF
presenting savage race with civiliza-
tion is as absurd as to talk of present
ing a child in arms with knowledge
of Euclid. Like geometry, civilization
must be acquired, and unless the abili-
ty to acquire it exists, all efforts to
compel it's acceptance are bound to be
fruitless.
The prime factors of civilization are,
of course, the environment of the COM
munity and the adaptabllity OF the In
aiyidual members of it. Where het-
erogeneous environment exists, there
civilization will make the most prog
ress. Where the environment is rela-
lively homogeneous, stagnation at the
point of savagery is almost certain to
be the result. To appreciate the truth
of this statement we have only to com,
pare southern Europe with Australia
say. Why should the inhabitants OF
she former have made greater progress
than the inhabitants of the latter? Be
cause in southern Europe both climate
and geographical location combined te
produce an active, energetic and pro
gressiye race such as the Greeks. The
Grecian' Archipelago is so situated thai
its early inhabitants could come IN con
tact with other races with little Difficult
ty, but is still isolated enough to assure
comparative immunity from too fire
i. auent depredations. Australia, on th'
other hand, is completely isolated; ant
after adjusting themselves to the few
conditions imposed on them by mature
its inhabitants could progress no fur
ther. Consequently until the advent o
Europeans on its shores, Australia re

war and commerce.
1t is generally admitted, l think, tina
the first step from savagery to some
thing higher came when men ceased t
