PhiladelPhia SGill
A City eT Homes

There is only one modern hathouse IN Philadelphia,
perhaps half a dozen modern hotels, and no tenements
such as other cities have by the acre. There is no large
proletariat in the city and such as exist is due to the
influx of derelicts from abroad. As a rule the Philadel-
phian is well employed the year around. There are
about 100000 residences in the city-more than Greater
New York and London combined-and most of them are
owned by the people who live in them. Almost 100000
of them are two-story houses with six or seven rooms
and a bath, generally a sizeable back yard, and in the
newer section, a little front yard and a porch. Mechanics
buy these houses through the building associations ana
mortgages from the trust companies. Such houses cost
from $4,000 to $4,000 apice-the latter would seem like
mansions 10 many New Workers. They rent at S12 TO
S25 a month, with an average of about $16. Those who
are aware of what rents are in other cities can see that
in this respect the Philadelphia is much better of than
most of his n~eighbors.
This insularity. due to the original vinage system,
is enhanced by the home feeling. Philadelphians as a
rule are sober and Woodworking men with families.
When q man comes home from work it is not necessary
to fly 10 the nearest saloon to get a comfortable place to
sit. He has his little parlor, his back yard, or his front
step. There are hundreds of miles of streets to be seen
on any summer night in Philadelphia where father an
mother sit on the porch or steps and enjoy the sports
of the children in the streets. The man does not care
for the street corner; the home spirit seems to be domi-
nant. If he were not comfortable at home he would go
where he could enjoy himself. and many of them 40.
But It ought to he plain that people who stick so closely
to the heartstone are more conservative than those who
flock out of human beehives to the streets as soon as
they have their meals. The Philadelphia is called
slow because he is not prone to run off after some new
idea. He is like the farmer in the recesses of his home
stead who ponders before he acts. Because the home
is so largely developed and because the city is composed
almost exclusively of native Americans and Germans,
the women have a much wider influence in Philadelphia
than anywhere else in America, and they exercise 1t

The ImGlmatriml SpiriG

The power of the business element in politics rs de-
plored by the Rev. DR. Chas. d. Williams, newly elected
a bishop in the Episcopalian church In a magazine
article he pleads for a larger place for religion in politics
And so it goes. Every man wants a larger opening for
the particular interest which is nearest his own heart.
Religion is a bishops business, and naturally he wants
other peoples business to make more room for his own.
The domination of industry and commerce over poll
tics is nothing new and perhaps not so alarming as 1t
seems. Politics is secondary TO commercialism in true
Importance to the public. 1t ever has been so and ever
will be 80. There is nothlng paramount to industry.
Religion itself is linked TO it, hand in hand. The COM
mand of Christianity is to he "diligent in business, fer
vent in spirit, serving the lord.' The diligence of the
one and the fervency of the other are both alike serving
the Lord, but the Apostle puts the business first. 1t is
true that there is a certain kind Of diligence in business
which is evil, and so there is a zeal which is not ac-
cording to knowledge. yet it remains that political doc
trines. and religious doctrines as well, that do not pro-
mote the Industrial spirit and industrial interests are
visionary and false and ought TO die.
The mere money getting instinct is the lowest in
human nature; but this is not to be COMPOUNDED with the
industrial spirit which projects enterprise and sets the
heart Of mankind thrilling with hope, purpose. effort 1t
is through labor that the human race is working out its
evolution, moral as well as physical. Let general idle
ness prevail for a single year, and the wheels of civil
fzation would slip back a century. IL is industry that
has given man purpose and efficiency and comfort 1t
has elevated and chastene6 his ideals. 1t is the great
civilizfng, the great moralizing, the great spirftualizing
force of the world in all ages.

Tree SP@rimS From
Point Of Sentiment

A fine, vigorous oak tree, nearly four feet in diam
eter, was cut down in the city of Des> Moines recently
because it was in the way of a contractor. A little care
would have saved the tree. II took nature a long time,
centuries, to grow the tree. With AK and saw II was
destroyed in an hour.
To him who loves a noble tree the sight was a touch-
ing one. There lay the kingly giant stretched out at
full le~ngth-dead in his place. The good monarch had
fallen from his throne and none We're so poor as to DO
him reverence. While it stood upright and faced the
world what a history was told by it's whispering leavesl
The weary tribes of the wandering feet had been shell
tered by its shade. When the paleface came he rested
under its arches towering to the skies. Happy children
have found in it a friend. The tree had long ago earned
its right to be in the place where it stood When the
fierce gust of winter days long, long ago pitched upon it
the tree stood firm. The winds served but to help 1t in
its struggle downward and outward and upward. In the
battle with the storm it grit its belt of bark more tightly
around its form, toughened its fbres for the fray and
drove it's roots deeper down The tree had done its best.
It had held for hundreds OF years the plane nature gave
ii to defend.
Some day not far away the man who chops down a
tree in a city, save by public permission and dire neees-
sity. will he sent to prison where he belongs. And the
sentence will be pronounced in the name of decency and
OF art and of gratitude. in the name of the thousands
who have used the tree and in the name of little children
who have played beneath its shelter. Spare the trees!
Spare them most Of all in the town which needs them so
much. Spare Them in their youthful vigor and in their
grandeur and old age. ia the hope of beauty spara
them. Spare them in the spirit Of gratitude. Spare
them in the name of God whose goodness they speak.

Our Mining industry

j. 4. Sheridan, the wen knokn newspaper man who
now so ably fills the position of mine inspector for New
Mexico, is largely quoted by Secretary Hitchcock, in his
report to the president for the department of the interior.
which was made public last Saturday.
Mr.. Sheridans report contains many matters of in
terest concerning New Mexico coal mines. The Citizen
gathers the following as among the more interesting and
important: The force engaged in coal mining in this
territory during the year treated consisted Of 204S men
and SO boys, counting both underground and outside en-
ployes. There were but FIVE fatal accidents. Two
mines were abandoned and six put into operation. The
product shipped from the mines was ~1,610,21O tons. an
increase OF 1926 tons over the previous year. The
value is estimated at S~2,272,616. Fuel oils at present
have taken the place of New Mexico coal to the extent
of 100000 tons annually. The production of coke
reached 1916 tons. or more than twice the amount OF
the previous years production. This was worth at the
ovens ~$230,211. The number of ovens in operation was
but 209, but 300 more are in process of construction, witt
the probable addition of zoe more.
Mr.. Sheridan makes several important recommended
tions, looking to the elimination OF accidents from care
lessness. He would hold the miner as well as the mine
owner responsible for negligence; would have the tele-
phone substituted for the metal speaking tube; an eff
cient preventive of coal-dust explosions; the appoint
ment of a commission of experts for the production OF
a hameless explosive; restriction to be placed upon
shooting off the solid" which means blasting coal with
out preparatory cutting or undermining. He reiterates
the desirabilty of a geological survey of the territory.

1t is always pleasant to look for
ward to a real mp to date performance

cent ebony productions of the cur

From a musical standpoint the Ma

particular, the musical melange be-
ing an immense treat in itself. The
festive vaudevillian also furnishes a
big part of the entertainment, and
numerous other attractive features
place Mahara's Operate Minstrel

The Statehood Problem

Senator Beyeridge will again lead the fight in the
senate for the bill TO admit Oklahoma and Indian Terri
tory as one state and New Mexico and Arizona as an
other. He and President Roosevelt are agreed in favor
of these measures, the erection of the four territories
into two states having been recommended in the presi-
dents message.
Hope of separate statehood for Arizona has prompted
some of the people of that territory to oppose the pro-
posed union with New Mexico. 1t is probable, however,
says the Denver Republican,. that this opposition will de-
cline in the face of the expressed preference of the presi-
dent and other leading members of the republican party
in favor of joint statehood.
Communities so sparsely inhabited as New Mexico
and Arizona would be sure To cOalesce in the course OF o
few years as their population increased through the set
Element Of people possessing no local |prejudices Of any
kind. The sympathies Of all such new settlers would
he awakened in behalf of the united commonwealth, and
ultimately a vast majority of the inhabitants would be OF
that mind, Opposition to union on account of the ae-
Telopment of local pecularities would, therefore, lose its
force, and in its stead would come pride in the larger and
greater state. the broader opportunities and the promise
of a more glorious future.

Another Nation i'm
Grabbing Business

Japan has benevolently assimilated Korea. The
treaty recently signed by the two governments virtually
makes Korea a province of Japan. Or, as the language
OF the treaty puts it, these two countries are to be united
until the moment arrives when il is recognized that
Korea has attained national strength" 1t is pertinent
to say that the moment referred to will be far removed.
The whole thing is a case of the lion and the lamb lying
down together-with the lamb inside the lion.
Ja&aA has grabbed Korea because it could, because
It is strong and Korea is weak. The treaty with Russia
gave Japan no right TO Korea. That treaty simply ceded
Japan the supremacy as against Russia, And the
Korean government signed the so-called treaty with
Japan under duress. 1t was a holdup. Korea really
ceases to be a nation. 1t has no voice in its general
government. It has no representation at the seats of
foreign governments. 1t is extinguished.
Why do the nations O fthe world make no protest
over this bodily grabbing OF a nation? Because they
keep in mind the saying, Let him that is without sin
cast the first stone"

Free Hides Proposed

w C. lowering, of Massachusetts, has introduced in
the Mouse a bill abolishing the import duty on hides.
Here is where New Mexico needs two senators and a
congressman, instead of a yOteess delegate. Here is
an unanswerable argument for statehood, and that at
once. Last fiscal year New Mexico shipped 10000
hides. With free Importation, Canada and Mexico could
Hood the country, bringing down largely the value of this
by product of the cattle, sheep and goat industry of the
territory. not only IN the hides shipped but in the price
of the living animal which carries its hide with IL to
market. How valuable to New Mexico is the trade in
hides and pelts may be gathered from a fact published
by The Citizen last summer, when J. Minium, the New
Mexico agent for a Philadelphia house. shipped from AL
buquerque one car load Of goat skins and sheep pelts,
the value of which reached the neighborhood of $4,000.
But being a territory, this valuable asset must be lost to
our people, or saved to us by the people Of other sec
tions; for we have neither WORD nor power in the settle
ment of the question.

DOING TREMENDOUS BUSINESS.

Since Learnard & Lindemann made
a cut in the price of their musical in
struments at the Gold avenue store,
they have had their hands full at
tending to the increased trade. On
an average, one piano a day has been
sold by the popular and enterprising
dealers, while the Victor talking ma
chine records have been disappearing
like hot cakes. When it is realized
that 10-inch records that have sold
for 81 now go at sixty cents, and that
12-inch records that are regularly sofa
for $3.50, now sell at 81, this great
rush can be accounted for somewhat.
But a hundred and one other articles
are just as cheap. If you are in doubt
about ii, just call on Learnard &
Lindemann and learn that seeing is

Senator Newlands has offered a railway bin with a
new and what may be an important provision, says the
Kansas City Times. 1t provides that, pending an appeal
from the decision of the interstate commerce Commission
in a disputed rate case, the railroad shall be required TO
deposit in the treasury Of the United States all moneys
collected in excess of the rate ordered by the commits
sion. I. the appeal is sustained then the deposited mon
ey would be refunded. If denied, the money would be
restored to the shippers from whom II was unjustly col
lected. The presumption is that in most instances or
-appeal-under the proposed regulation of rates by the
commission-the railways would first secure an injunc-
ton restraining the commission from putting The rates
into effect This is a recourse against which no rate
law can make provision. 1t is a right under the general
laws. The burden of appeal being put on the railroads
they would probably carry up only such cases as they
would have reasonable hopes Of having oyerruled. But
they should not be permitted, by the device of an injunc-
ton, TO collect the old rate pending the result of such an
appeal. The Newlands suggestion is worth considering.
