coe+ Of Good Government.

The greater the responsibilities as
sumed by municipalities in admins
tering public utilities, the greater are
the knowledge and vigilance necessary
for every citizen. Good government
and protection from abuse OF public
trusts cost not only money but per-
sonal study and service of every one
concerned in these trusts. Bad polit'
ical organization must be overcome
by good ones as efficiently led as well
equipped with money and as vigllant'
" supported by honest citizens. This
is the most important lesson OF Amer
lean citizenship. Public business will
expand and succeed just as fast as al
the people enter into active partner
shin in 1t, and no faster.-Congrega

MODERN LIFE TOO FAST.
Grave Danger in the Hustlng Habits
Of Americans.


Surgeon General RiXey sounds a
note of warning to the American peo-
pie when ne declares that the death
of Secretary Hay and number OF
other men prominently identified with
the government in recent years is due
to too much work and too little exer-
else. The statement coming from an
authority so high can not be passed
without consideration. The energy
of the American is one of the wonders
of the world and there is reason to be-
lieve that persons in private life die
from the cause that has taken SO
many public men. The mad pace ap-
pears to pervade all branches OF so
ciety, and while some men have the
wisdom to temper their toll with the
necessary exercise they appear to be
the exception rather than the rule
1t is therefore plain that if Americans
are to live their allotted days they
must change their mode OF living, Du'
how? The principles are established
and it is difficult to change them. L
has become almost second nature To-
the American to hustle, evidently ONT
of the most dangerous elements OF ou
business life.
