FOR THE TOWN BEAUTIFUL.
Missouri Women Begin Campaign

The club women of Missouri have
taken up in earnest the campaign for
cleaner cities and towns. In st.
Joseph and other large towns organ
izations Of women have done much to
promote a general sentiment for clean
liness and are planning more. In Ma
con a women's organization virtually
manages the street cleaning depart
ment, collects the money from mer-
chants, superintends the work and
disburses the funds. The members of
the club at Trenton, a women's club,
have started a campaign that is being
watched with interest and initiated in
other towns. At the annual meeting
at the home of their president, Mrs.
T. N. Witten, the club discussed plans
for the promotion of a sentiment for
better care of lawns and gardens,
cleaner streets and alleys and general
Improvements. The subject of the
opening paper of the meeting, read by
Mrs. j. A. Asher, was this appropriate
one: "The Towns Opportunity-HoW
Can 1t Do More Than the City for q
Beautiful 'merican Lifer' One OF
the plans decided upon was to offel
cash prizes to children in the various
wards of Trenton for the best show
ings under prescribed conditions, IL
the growing of flowers and care OF
premises. Seeds for the competitor
are to be furnished practically free by
the club. The mayor was asked t.
issue a proclamation for a ,nera
cleaning-up day, asking citizens to de
vote a few hours systematically to dis
posing of the accumulated rubbish.
What the women are doing in som,
Missouri towns the school children
have been urged to undertake in others

AZ the commencement exercises OF
the Michigan Agricultural College on
June 10th, 1906, an address was de-
Hyered by George III. Maxwell, Dean
OF the Homecr0fters Gid Of the Tails

National Irrigation Association.
The keynote of the address of Mr..
Maxwell was the Idea that we should

In Illustration OF this he re-
ferred to our forest resources
The wasteful improyldence with
which we have swept the for
ests out of existence was contrasted
with the elaborate care with which
we have built Notifications and ma
yies and equipped our armies. And
yet, said Mr.. Maxwell, we have little
to fear from any foreign foe. But
we have much to fear from the
wreck and ruin that win inevitably
follow the destruction Of our forests.
Destroy the forests and over Inn

Destroy the forests and you will AT

children, and that is to get the work
ing people and their children out of
the slums, and into the suburbs
where they can have sunshine and
fresh air and pure and nourishing
food from home garden.
Let us realize once for all that this
problem of the children of our work
ing people is our greatest national
problem and go at its solution with
the same patriotic and self-sacrifc-
ing national heroism that led the
Homecrofters of Japan to go into bat
tie with their lives in their hands, like
hand grenades, to throw at the enemy
that sought to crush out their ma
tional life
Let us catch the inspiration of the
slogan of the Homecrofters' Move

our work until we have

RUSSIAN POLITICAL SITUATION
Constitutional Democrats Decide ON Ac-
tioR in Council OF Empire.

st. Petersburg, July AT a session
of the constitutional executive and par
liamentary committee to-day to deter
mine the tactics of members of that
party In the council of the empire it
was decided that they may participate
in caucuses of the centrists but that
they must preserve their party individ-
ually and move separate preamble
and resolution declaring lack of conf
denee in the ministry from that which
the centrists are planning to Introduce.
This decision is taken as an indication
tht the constitutional democrats are
inclined to recognize the legislative sta
tus of the council of the empire and not
to demand it's abolition if legislation
originating in the lower house is favor
ably received in the upper house.
There were no developments to-day
in the ministerial situation.
It is announced that the parliament
tary commission appointed to examine
into the question of famine relief on
account of the bad harvest at meet
ing to-day decided to grant an irnme-
diate credit of $7500,000 to the minister
of finance, who, with the minister Of
the interior, attended the sitting The
proposed credit will be covered by an
issue Of 4 per cent stat rentes. NM
Reditcheff, Jollos and Kovalesky the
members Of the commission, said they
considered that a loan would not be
necessary and expressed the opinion
that the credit could be provided for
through budget economies, especially
as the government had announced that
the budget during the first four months
of the current year would show q sur
plus Of $28,00O.OO0.
Alexis Souvorin, editor Of the Russ,
who on January 20 was sent to prison
for having published the workmen's
manifesto issued in December of last
year, will be liberated tomorrow, EN-
peror Nicholas having pardoned him at
the request and on the recommendation
of Minister of Justice Chtcheglovitoff.
The agrarian movement in several
sections has developed new phase
in the form of struggle between land
owning peasants and peasants who
hold no lands. Bloody conflicts have
occurred at several places.
The estates Of Prince Oholensky and
five other great landed proprietors in
the province of Saratoff are reported to
be in flames and the rural guards are
said to have been worsted in an en-
counter with the peasantry.
The details of the pillaging Of the
sheremstieff estate in the province of
Voronezh are more serious than at
first reported.
After sacking the estate the peas
antry destroyed the railroad and police
station and other government buildings
and beat fifty-seven rural guards al
most to death. ARTILLERY as well as in
fantry has been sent to the scene.

Paris, July 4.-The feature of the

was the banquet of the American cham
Der of commerce at the Hotel Quasi

mick discussed Our National House
cleaning" Minister Of Agriculture
Rauau spoke on behalf of the French
government, referring to the close
friendship uniting the two nations and
concluding with a graceful reference to
the visit of Representative and Mrs.
Nicholas Longworth, who are expected
to arrive in Paris tomorrow.
Ambassador McCormicks address at
traeted much attention, as it was de-
voted principally to the national house
cleaning which is now being prosecuted
under the directing hand of President
Roosevelt. The ambassador said
Other presidents have had periods Of
difficulty Lincoln's was in ridding the

cost Of fratricidal war. No one can
doubt that we in like manner will rid
ourselves of the sores that now affect
the body polite. The best augury is
that we have a man at the head Of the
nation who is not afraid to grapple with
the problems Of the day, as Washington
and Lincoln grappled with the problems
Of their time. The vast majority of the
people, now as then, uphold the hands
of their chosen leader"
Mr.. Mccormick pointed out that I'M
controlled wealth and power often led
to abuses, whether as the heads of the
church or the state, or Of a corporation,
and therefore a system 'of checks and
balances Is required to restrain abuses
without diminishing individual effort.
Commenting on recent foreign criti-
cisms, Mr.. Mccormick said: "The Lon
don Times, that great exponent of Eng
lish opinion, has declared that, while
all countries contained their share of
Pharisees and foolish individuals, yet
the mass Of the people OF the United
States is made UP of those believing in
the performance of duty and the fulfill
ment of honest obligations.

THE ICE TRUST.
officials DO Not Like idea Of Moran
Getting After Them.

Boston, July 4The announcement
that the ice business is to be investi-
gated by District tAtorney John B,
Moran brought forth statements from
officials of the local ice companies to-
day. The dealers made no secrecy Of
their dislike to be brought under cross
examination by the prosecuting officer
and at the same time declared that
there is no ice trust in Boston and that
the increase in the price Of ice, which
has taken effect in every city of the
state except Lowell, is due wholly to
its scarcity on account Of the small
harvest last winter
The district attorney holds that the
Ice business in Boston, New York,
philadelphia and Chicago is controlled
by onet corporation, the American Ice
company.
Mr. Moran has summoned Secretary
Charles w. Hallstrom Of the Massachu-
setts Ice Dealers association and his
confidential clerk, oliver S. Hayward,
to appear before him and give informa-
tion concerning the local ice business.
Treasurer Bartlett Of the Boston Ice
company was quilted to-day as saying
that the dealers would have to increase
the price of ice again in order to make
a profit
