The week ending Saturday. April 14th. has been marked by considerable Inquiry and actual purchases of homes, the more central business property coming in for its share of interest. trading in that line being retarded by the irmness with which holders of this class of property are sustaining their views.
 With the opening of spring. the trading in smaller lots on the outside will have a tendency to increase, with stiffening of the more central classes of property. Reasonable advances In those surbur- ban properties attractive for home loca- tions will likely be sustained by fair demand.
 The general conditions prevailing in all classes of Real Estate are as satisfactory as those who look for a steady Instead of "flurrying movement, could expect. Here and there a few are tempted to get what some are pleased to term wheels in their heads" with the self impressed idea that gold banks are under each corner and pearls strewn in the cen ter of their lots and these usually have their ardor dampered by the conservative reality when they propose to convert these ideas into cash.
 There is plenty of faith in Birmingham dirt, but none. whatever, in the wheels and visionary ideas. The market on busi- ness property will be far more satisfae- tory and a larger volume of business done when the present contracted busi- ness section commences it's natural ex- pansion, backed by suburban develop ment as 1t extends; the extension nat uraly having a tendency to even up val ues and destroy monopoly, brought about by the popular idea that the Birmingham business section Is confined to only two or three blocks. which is sadly erroneous. The public is investing it's money on the faith of a steady expansion. and this is more marked northwardly and eastward ly from the present business district.
 Very truly.

Mr. HOPKINS, PLAN.

Probably the pioneer advocate of
primary elections in Kansas is Mr..
John S. Hopkins. Of Holton. Mr.. Hop
kins has been making a study Of vari-
Gus methods of primaries for years and
several years ago he formulated bill
to haze all nominations made by a
direct primary vote.
The thing for which Mr.. Hopkins has
long been working has been to have all
nominations in all parties made on the
same day. His idea also is to have all
parties on a single ballot, the same as
regular election ballots are now print
ed. as set forth in his communication
in the State Journal of Saturday.
There will doubtless be objection to
this plan, however, for it would allow
a Democrat to vote for the nomination
OF a Republican ticket without declar-
ing himself a Republican. and vice
versa. This would not be right. 1t
would be better for each party to have
a ballot of its own, and have the voter
call for the ballot of his party when he
wishes to vote.
Mr.. Hopkins would regulate the
ballot by requiring those for state and
congressional offices toahle requests
signed by per cent of the voters Of
his party in his district or state, and
candidates for minor Offices to secure
the signatures of 10 per cent of the
voters of their respective parties to
such requests.
This is an excellent idea, and it
might possibly be improved by includ-
ing in the request the statement that
the signers belong to that political par
ty and wish to vote for the candidate
named. It should also be provided
that no voter can sign more than one
request pertaining to the same office.
Mr.. Hopkins adopts the suggestion
Of the state Journal relative to mark
ing the ballots. allowing each voter to
express his first, second, third and
fourth choice. and SO on.
It is unnecessary, however, to throw
out the ballot if the voter fails to ex-
press more than his first choice. In
that case it is evident that he has no
choice as to the other candidates. and
they should all be counted as his sec
ond choice If he expressed only a
first and second choice, the ether can
didates should all be counted third.

fronts the community The growth Of
this town Is hampered every day OF the
week through a lack OF houses for rent.
A conservative business man said to the
editor the other day. .Mankato would
have a population of one thousand more
if more suitable houses could be had for
rent This demand is apparent all the
year around. The Monitors idea is that
it would be a good investment for men
with money to buy lots that can be Sc
cured for moderate prices, erect modest.
modern homes, offer them for rent at
popular prices and supply at least a
portion of the demand that is SO FREE
quent in this growing town. Is it not a
proposition worthy Of serious considera-
ton from purely business standpoint?
1t would surely make the town more at
tractive and add to the number of peo-
pie who would come here each year"

THERE'S MUSIC IN Ny HEART.
There's music in my heart today:
The Master-hand is on the keys,
And down 10 The purple seas.
Let Time draw back when hear that
Old to the soul when the stars were
And swing the doors to the four great
That my feet may wander through.
North or South. East or West;
over the rim with the bellied sails,
FROM the mountains feet to the empty
or down the silent trails
It matters not which door you choose:
ne same clear tune blows through them
Though one heart leaps to the grind of
And one to the rain-bird's call.
However you hide in the city's din
And drown your ears with its siren
Some day steal in those thin, wild notes,
And you leave the foolish throngs-
God grant that the day will find me not
When the tune shall mellow and thrill
So. long. as the plans are red with sun,
ana the woods are black with rain.
