The Twentieth Century club. of Hell
ena, Ark, has commenced planting an
avenue of trees in the city in connec-
ton with it's forestry work. The eff
forts of the club in village identifying
work and in providing pictures and
casts for the public schools have been
noteworthy, but its energies perhaps
have never been more successfully di-
reeted than in one town improve
ment" which has earned the gratitude
of the community. Several years ago
a fine federal building was erected in
Helena on ample grounds. No care
was taken of the latter. and the club
obtained permission to improve tRem.

determined members in egging the
custodian of the building, giving en-
tertainments to procure funds. plant
ing trees and flowers and in superin-
tending the softening of very tough
and luxuriant growth of Bermuda
grass and weeds. Finally. Uncle Sam
was moved, out of sympathy and graf
itude no doubt, to appoint a compe-
tent craetaker of the grounds and to
provide the necessary means for keep
ing them in good condition. They are
now green and fowery a living mon

After reviewing the church statistics
compiled for the year, one of he leading
religious weeklles declares that there
are too many denominations and that
the smaller ones ought to gravitate to
the larger ones, and the larger ones
ought to gravitate together. This, it
insists, is the most important ecclesi-
astical work Of the next decade or
two. Whether there are any signs of
church consolidation or any real tend
ency in that direction is, however, open
to decided doubt. The statistics seem to
show growth in all the various denom-
national divisions, and as long as they
are all expanding it will be difficult to
persuade any n to give up separate
identity. That consolidation would bring
strength goes without saying, but in
matters of religion the moving forces are
largely different from those operating in
matters of trade and industry. 1t seems
to us an excess of hopefulness to expect
the elimination of the lesser religious
denominations in the next decade or the
next three decades.

SECULAR SHOTS AT THE PULPIT.

Brooklyn Eagle: Churches may be los
ing ground, hut with a membership Of
nearly 20, 900, 900 we may still regard our
selves as a somewhat godly nation.
Baltimore American: A Chicago preacher
says that the knowledge Of women how
to cook is more OF a vital issue than the
trusts. But he ought to know hat the
mere knowledge OF how to do a thing is
worth but little without the raw material
whereon to exercise the knowledge.
New York Tribune: A prominent Phil
adelphia clergyman strongly urges all
young men who intend to enter the min
istry to learn some trade either before or
after their ordination. He has examined
the statistics Of the various Protestant
denominations and has been appalled, by
the number Of ministers who are without a
charge. He thinks a trade would be a
good thing to fall back on in such cases.
besides standing the preacher in good stead
in many ways while still in the pulpit.
Kansas City Star: A preacher in Topeka
interrupted the Judge in the course OF the
trial OF Mrs. Nation for disturbing the
peace and suggested that he (the mlnister)
be fined as we'll as 1.-The smasher." He
was promptly taken at his word and put
in charge of an officer until he paid 800
for his contempt Of court. 1t is so rare
that anyone has an opportunity to get
back at a preacher that Rev. Mr.. Nc
Farland supposed, probably, that he could
scold in the courtroom with as much i'm
punity as IL he were in his pulpit.
Chicago Post: The ministers of Rich
mond, Va. have decided that people will
meet in heaven as strangers and that no
embarrassing results will follow should we
run up against some Of our old earthly
dislikes in the promenade between musical
selections. This is encouraging, and we
are not surprised to learn that the semi
oflcial announcement has been followed by
a constant procession to the mourners'
bench. OF course, 1t would be very pleas
ant to meet our intimate friends and re-
new the desirable acquaintance Of this per
ishable globe, but, on the other hand, a
general lapse OF emo would save much
modification should the very best people
be precipitated against the middle-class
folk. n yet, how can heaven be heaven

WANTED-BETTER ENGLISH.

In a recent address by Chancellor e.
Benjamin Andrews, the opinion was adj
vanced that the chief difference between
college students in the east and in the
west, outside of the better facilities for
preparation enjoyed in the older sections
of the country, is to be found in the
greater deficiency of the western boys
and girls in the English branches. To
be more specific, the chancellor declared
that the difference noted in favor of the
students in eastern institutions of higher
education consisted in closer precision
in the use of the English language both
in writing and speaking and this SUI
periority he attributed largely if not
wholly to the longer line Of good family
breeding and the better home Opportuni-
ties.
No n has ever suggested that Ian
guage itself is hereditary, for were it
so, Americans of foreign descent would
have as their birthright all the various
tongues of continental Europe, but it is
intimated that as a rule it takes more
than one well-educated generation to
produce complete familiarity with good
English and the ability to use it prop
erly. That the environment of the home
and the everyday conversation with
personal companions is a determining
factor in perfecting the use Of the Ian
guage has long been admitted and con-
stitutes the chief reason for stimulating
in the young a wider companionship Of
a helpful kind through the reading Of
good books, although here again the in
herited environment may come into
play, because the access to good books
and the encouragement to use them de-
ponds largely upon the education, cul-
ture and disposition of older members of
the family. Applied to existing condi-
lions in different sections of our coun-
try, 1t is only natural to expect the
young people in the more settled parts
where school and college have been a
working leaven for decades to have an
advantage over those in the west where
the educational system is the develop
ment of comparatively few years.
On the other hand, however, there is
nothing to prevent requirement of an
ability to use good English by every
person ambitious to do so, irrespective
of inheritance or inherited environment.
Some Of our most noted orators and
successful writers have won their. po.
sitions over obstacles of most serious
character and the names eligible to the
literary hall Of fame show no dividing
lines of nationality, race, creed or resi-
dence. Our schools, colleges, libraries
and other educational institutions ought
to make it possible for every American
citizen to read, write and speak the
English language with reasonable pre-
cision, no matter whether he lives IL
New England or in Nebraska. If on,
public school system is not serving thi
object efficiently, so that marked defects
still protrude from young people present
ing themselves for university work
something is radically wrong and tn,
weak spot should be strengthened.

ance. If so, then plans and speciica-
tions are to be made and the cost estl-
mated. II the state or political subdi-
vision shall agree to construct. the di-
rector Is empowered to advertise for
proposals and award the contract to the
lowest responsible bidder, one-half Of
the expense to be paid out of the treas-
ury of the United States. The cost of
road construction is to be met from an
appropriation Of S2O,OOO,OOO, which is to
be set aside under a clause in the bill
which provides that the amount allotted
to each state shall not be larger than
the proportion of It's population to the
total population Of the United States.
1t is doubtful If congress can be in
duced to authorize the expenditure of
public money in the way proposed in
this bill, though there could be no OBJ
lection, on legal grounds, to the Gre
alton of a bureau of public roads and
the appropriation Of money from the
national treasury for the improvement
Of highways used in interstate traffic or
for the purposes Of the rural free deliv-
cry system. Unquestionably the pro-
posed bureau could be made very serv-
iceable in promoting the construction Of
public roads, but the expenditure con-
templated in Mr.. Brownlow's bill is
rather too %extravagant to secure popular
approval.

SOUTHERN GOVERNORS ON LYNCHrNG

Several Of the governors OF southern
states, in their recent messages to the
legislatures, have upqualifedly de-
nounced lyHching. The governor of
Alabama condemned this crime in vigor-
GUS terms and urged legislation for it's
Carolina devoted considerable space in
his message to the consideration of
lynching, which he emphatically de-
nounced. He pointed out that the ignor-
ant and vicious elements guilty of this
crime knew Of law only through their
observation of the conduct of better
men. If they see such men bowling to
the law under all circumstances they
begin to respect it, whereas on the other
hand when they observe the best people
committing crime which the law de-
nounces as murder they lose regard for
the law and their lawlessness takes a
different form. when it is once admit
ted" said the governor, that lynching
Is justifiable in any case, 1t is an easy
step for the excited mass to justify it
in other cases" Governor Sayres of
Texas has taken a prominent place
among those southern men who are
doing their utmost to rouse public sentl-
ment against lynch law. He has urged
legislation providing punishment not
only for persons guilty of lynching, or
Of abetting II, but also for all state,
county or city officials who neglect to
exercise their power and authority to
protect a prisoner from a mob.
The sentiment in the south against
lynching has undoubtedly been growing
and there is reason to expect good re-
suits from 1t, but as yet it has not ac-
complished much and it is an unques-
tionable fact, as pointed out by the
governor Of North Carolina, that re,
sponsibility for the continuance of
lynching rests largely upon the better
class of the people. So long as this
element c~ountenances the crime it will
continue. Another thing accounting fol-
the prevalence of lynching in the south.
ern states is the very general weakness
of local governments. Those charged
with the duty of maintaining the law
are for the most part incapable or in
different and make no earnest effort tc
prevent mob violence or bring to punish
ment those who perpetrate it. The gov
ernors who have denounced lynchinl
cannot be too heartily commended anC
their attitude should exert a ~salutary
influence,
