The City Beautiful.

That the people of johnson City are
deeply interested in the "City Beauti-
full" idea, movement which has done
wonders for large number of Ameri-
can cities, was made manifest last Mon
day afternoon when over fifty of her
progressive citizens met at the Science
Hill school building and organized q
Civic Improvement League.
The main purpose of the new organi-
cation is to work in cooperation with
the Board of Education and teachers
in the Identification and general i'm
provement of the school property. II
is to be entirely more partisan etc., and
every person who has the best interests
of the children of the city at heart, are
cordially invited to become members
and attend the next regular meeting,
which occurs at Science Hill school
building on Tuesday November 2Sth at
2,15 O'Clock.
The meeting on Monday afternoon
was unusually enthusiastic and if the
plans of the League are carried out,
will mean that Johnson City will in q
few months have not only one of the
most efficient public school systems in
the State, but well-kept and lively
Fairgrounds in which every citizen car
feel just pride.
The members of the League realize
that great improvements have already
been made by the present able corps o!
teachers and Prof. Lowry, yet they
believe greater things can yet be &C
complished, provided the parents and
citizens generally give those in authori
ty that support an management t.
which they are justly entitled.
Il Well prepared papers and thoughtfu
talks were made by Prof. Lowry, Mrs
s. G. Williams, Geo. I. Wofford, j. e
J Brading, of the Board of Education
and Recorder Il. E. Ellsworth.
| After discussing the various phase
of the "City Beautiful Idea, +" the fol
s lowing officers were chosen: Mrs. w
II. Harmon, President; Mrs. Guy L
Smith, Vice President; Mrs. W. P
: Harris, Treasurer and George e. Bur
bage, Secretary.
( A committee on program, Mesdame
4 S, G, Williams, L. Armbrust and Pro-
3 Lowry, was appointed and instructe

with the chief view to making th
& meetings as instructive and entertain

Tourist Cars Popular.

The idea that an inferior class of peo-
pie patronize the tourist sleepers is an
error. On many trips only the best
class OF travellers are found. They are
merely men and women of good sense
who would rather travel TO California
in this manner and save q snug sum OF
money to be used elsewhere. It is be-
ginning to be understood that it is by
no means necessary for the traveller to
spend large sum of money in order
to enjoy trip to the Pacific Coast.
If you cross the continent in one oil

Every year regret is general
when it is too late-that the holi-
day of patriotism should partake
in SO great a degree of lawlessness.
On any other day the small boy
who threw a torpedo to explode
under a passing TEEN causing a
runaway, a smashup and possible
loss of life or limb, would be
called to account. Not SO on the
"Glorious Fourth" On that
patriotic day he may kill himself
and others with IMMUNITY all in
the cause of freedom. Is it not
time that the spirit of lawlessness
and the element of danger be eli.
minated from our celebration OF
the day and our commemoratiop
of the founding of this great re.
public partake of elements tina,

July first a number of new laws

ance of law excuses no one, it
we're wise to look them up. One
of them is that on July 1st the law

quenting or being employed in
pool or billiard or card rooms,
bowling alleys, temperance sa-
looms, etc., becomes effective.
The law provides that aproprietor
who allows persons under eigh-
teen years of age around his place
of business, either as a spectator,
a patron or an employee, is liable
to a fine of from S. to $50, or i'm
prisonment in the county Jail not
to exceed thirty days or both fine

all, probably one hundred new
