The Growth of Ci ie,.

Some Idle sDeculations have appear
ed in one Of the New York DaDers
concerning the. reasons for a city's
growth in certain directions If
started with a query as TO the reason
why so many more people walk on
the west side Of Broadway than ON
the east Somebody answered this bv
saying that more OF the nrst-class
shops are on the west side. but did
not add the obvious reflection that
the reason why these shops are on
the west side is that people do not
like 20 do their buying in a shop full
Of afternoon sun.
For much the same reason cities are
apt to grow toward the west. People
like 20 get the morning sun in winter
because 70 is cheerful. and they do
not like 10 get the evening sun in
summer. because 10 is hot. Hence
those who are choosing building sites
are apt TO place their houses on the
west side Of the street. where they
can sit at their front doors I'm the cool
Of the evening without having the sun
IN their eyes
OF course. in the case Of New York,

house, they waste an immense amount
of space. In the block the backyard
is merely a place to dry clothes The
cellar is a heating plant and the base
ment floor a feeding plant. Two
stories and the backyard are thus sur
rendered to the preliminaries Of liv-
ing, while the family is relegated to
the remaining three stories and the
front steps The apartment, she
notes. economies cellar space but
wastes it IN the feeding process. In
a seven room fiat three rooms go to
kitchen, dining room and servants
room.
Mrs. Gilman would begin her reform
by cutting the average city block in
half, thereby making in place of two
long rows Of houses back to back, two
large buildings, each one in a square
and INTELLECTUALLY homogeneous,
with inner courts fifty feet by $50.
Thus the surrendered laundry yard
space becomes a park, and as Mrs. Gill
man pertinently remarks, there is
room for much enjoyment in 1880
square feet of land.
Each family would still have it's
three floors upon which to live, and
its separate door to the street if it
insisted upon it. Each family would
also have its balcony facing the park
and its stairway leading into this
pleasure tnclosUre The chidren's
playground, however, would be on the
roof, an eminently sensible place for
it,
a small part of the space that for
merly was the cellars and the base
ments would be required for the heat
ing plant for the entire block. Re
garding the food and laundry problem
Mrs. Gilman says:
The feeding plant. concentrated to
one or two large, perfectly appointed
and scientifically served food labora-
tories, would not require one-twen-
tieth of the room it now misuses. If
the washing must be done on The
premises, one fine laundry and a bit
Of roof would do it all But a better
wisdom will have all such work done
in the clean, windy, open country
it does not belong in the city nor at
home"
What. then, becomes Of the rest of.
the floor space two stories high? All,
that is another joy Mrs. Gilman
quotes the man in the story, who
said: Our club has all the home
comforts" and his wife, who asked:
Yes, and when will our homes have
all the club comforts?" Mrs. Gilman
answers the question thus
When we build them into each
block. When we recognize the swim
ming pool and the gymnasium as
common comforts and necessities of
life. When we Gave billiards and
bowling and all manner Of easy
games, shorn of artificial and dan
gerOus allurements, and handy for
mother as we'll as for father"
Coming away from Mount Vernon
one always wishes he might nave
been there to have lived as George
Washington lived Reading about
Mrs. Gilman's ideal city block one
wishes that he may be there to live
as she thinks we ought to live.

The Factory and the Farm.

Commenting on a campaign cpl
gram issuing from Republican head
quarters, Plant the factory beside
the farm" a Democratic paper argues
that this is speciOus and intended to
deceive. because the Republican party
has never been the friend of the far
mer. in support of this argument it
takes the statistics advanced by the
Republicans, showing the compare
tive wealth of farming and manufac-
turing regions, and triumphantly de-
clares that the protective tariff. by
causing this prosperity, has built up
manufacturing regions at the ex-
pense Of those agricultural This is
an example of the curiously twisted
arguments which the party managers
seem TO think convincing
The epigram in question means. of
course. that manufacturing and farm
iDg should be carried on side by side.
that in every farming country there
should be factory towns in which men
not inclined to farm life may find
scope for their talents, and incident
ally supply some of the wants of the
farmers, bring ready cash into the
neighborhOod, and provide a near
market for the farmers products.
Il is this development of industry
which, before the war. made the New
England States prosperous in spite
OF many natural disadvantages, and
which is now contributing to the
prosperity of Southern States where
cotton mills have been started.
It ought to be clear enough to any
intelligent voter that if a farmer can
sell his goods ten miles from home.
through one middleman, instead of
sending them several hundred miles.

because his goods are perishabIe for

In that case, if he devotes all his
energies TO producing one crop. and
the crop fails. he loses heavily. and
this course Of action has caused much
Of the distress among Western and
Southern farmers. The farmer in a
factory region. on the other hand.
has one sure market for his produce.
because there viii always be several
thousand people in his immediate
neighborho0d who cannot raise their
own food; and by supplying them
with food he can secure money to bnv
the articles which he cannot raise or
make
That is what planting the factory
