Attitude Toward Their Leader.


Christian Scientists are particularly care
full to deny the allegation that their atti-
tude toward Mrs. Eddy is other than that
OF grateful and loving recognition OF their
debt to her and respect for her undoubted
ability In recent Letter to the directors
Of the mother church Mrs. Eddy herself
says; Now is the time to throttle the
lie that students worship me or that /
claim their homage" In keeping with this
thought Mrs. Eddy issued this statement
which appeared in the Christian Science
Sentinel OF April 3. 1906:
ITO the Beloved Members of NY Church.
the Mother Church. the First church of
Christ, Scientist, in Boston: Divine love

human should engage our attention at this
sacred season of prayer and praise"

organizer and TO her genius as a religious
leader is due the present impetus OF the

leader as we'll as a stauncn friend to all
his associates and subordinates, who, with
out an exception, sincerely mourned his
untlmely death.
I'm his note to me Mr.. L. II. Korty
truly says: No list OF names of old-time
telegTaphers at Omaha would be complete
without that OF John A. Creighton, who
assisted his brother Edward in the con-
struction Of the overland telegraph line.
He was always a warm friend OF the
operators. John inherited most of his
brothers immense wealth. which has been
considerably added to by bis own efforts
and business sagacity. In recent years
most OF his energies and a large share of
his wealth have been devoted to chart
table work. building OF hospitals, institu-
tons OF learning and the endowment Of
same at Omaha, In recognition of his
good deeds, Pope Plus conferred upon him
the title OF count of the Holy Roman EN-
pire. Count Creighton is still living in
Omaha and bears his honors with proper
dignity
Likewise In this connection we should
not forget the name Of Hon. Edward
Rosewater. the distinguished editor and
proprietor Of The Omaha Bee, which has
grown from a little hand bill in 1870 to a
metropolitan journal or World-Wide re-
nown. occupying a building which is a
marvel OF elegance and convenience as
the home Of the great paper whose name
II bears. Rosewater came TO Omaha as
a common operator. He left the service, l
believe, during the strike OF 1870. AS /
understand It, The Bee was established
as sort Of protestant in the interests OF
organized labor. 1t has passed through
many vicisstudes. coming many times

into the same swimming-holes, and

Parking for the Town.

The town parks, or the town or

citizens.
If the town is growing. it is none too
soon to start a movement to provide
for the securing of ample town park
ing. The land is increasing: when the
town has doubled and has become a
small city, it will not be so easy to
secure sites, readily accessible to the
people, without paying an exorbitant
price. Secure first the land; it is not
important that a large amount of
money should be at once expended
upon its Identification, possibly it
needs but little. since nature may have
made it more beautiful than can man.
1t is not necessary that it should be
transformed into carpet beds of
flowers and trinity kept lawns. If II

grass and trees for the eye, it becomes
n civilizer and an equalizer, for the
poor as well as the wealthy. resting

the time. some of his struggles and
his anxieties in n contemplation OF
what God has made.
The park should be kept in fact, rs
natural as is consistent with ITS use as
such. Ii is never too early. however.
to secure its site. with view to the
building up of the community, when

Distribution of Immigrants the
Solution.

If there We're only some practicable
way of distributing immigration more
equally among all the ports of the
country the congestion and segra-
CATION phases of this problem would be
nearer solution. 1t can be accom-
plished in but small degree, since it
will only be done if answering an
economic demand, as in the case Of
the GalvestonB Bremen service. Wise
and well organized effort to induce
immigrants to pass through the large
ports by finding and insuring them
employment in the interior and by In
forming them of opportunities else
where, will do much to Improve con-
ditions. The self-interest of states,
many of which maintain immigration
agencies, might also be brought more
generally Into play to attract the in
dustrious and ambitious new comers

THE COUNTRY HOME.
Lecturer Advocates Small Indepen.
dent Homes, Each on a Acre of
Land

An address on The Significance of
the Country Home" was delivered by
Edward II. Chandler, secretary of the
Twentieth Century Club at the recent
graduating exercises of the School of
Domestic Science of the Boston Young
Women's Christian Association. In ad-
vocating deliberate system of train
ing nature study by means of school
gardens. he said: Most important of
all is the beginning of a national move
ment for the making of home
crofts" or small Independent homes
with perhaps an acre to enable eacn
family to find out the true values of
rural life. 1t would be an absurd eI-
ror to suppose that such homes are now
lacking. There are multitudes through
out the land. What is new is that these
homes are coming at last to their own.
Instead of continuing to be ''e insig-
nificant haunts of ones childhood, of
which one who has risen to distinction
is expected to be little ashamed, they
are being sought out as typical of the
best in home life and as models TO be
reproduced in essentials with some
adaptations to the new needs of the
times.

Poor Chance In the Cities.

Life in a metropolis makes young
children sharp, but not clever; it often
destroys their chance of ever being
clever. for it hastens the development
of the brain unnaturally; it makes
them superficial, alert, but not observ-
ant: excitable, but without one spark
of enthusiasm: they are apt to grow
blase, tickle. discontented; they see
more things than the country-bred
child, but not such interesting things;
and they do not properly see any
thing, for they have neither the time
nor capacity to get at the root Of all
the bewildering objects that crowd
themselves into their little lives.

There is a multitude of thinking people
who see the dangers the future holds for
our country unless we reach wise solution
of the tremendous social problems that
confront us.
The spirit in which we should approach
the consideration of these problems is set
forth in this remarkable book in a way that
must be an inspiration to every truly hr-
mane and patriotic heart.
Let the spirit of common sense and opt;-
mism and fundamental economic and ph;l-
osophical truth that pervades this book be
taken as the underlying motive of the
movement, and the Greed and Platform of
the Homecrofters as the practical plan to
work to, and the rest of the great social
questions are certain to be rightly solved
by application To them of the sound and
humane principles that will guide the action
of our people upon all great national oues-
