THE EDITORIAL REVIVAL.

With the triumph OF public senti-
ment' over Legislative stagnation the
editorial takes again its place Ms n
forceful feature In American journal
ism. For, through the editorial col
umns OF the press, the people found
their most fearless and insistent
champions. Unless each voter takes
the trouble TO write to his representa-
tives In congress how are they to
know OF the wishes Of their constitu-
ency except through the reflective
medium OF the newspapers? Already
many country weeklies have revived
their column OF comment and are dip
ping deep into federal and state poll
tics, as we'll ms into current moral
questions. Ii looks M II the editorial
has returned and TO stay. -Madison
Democrat.
Every newspaper, great or small,
ought TO exert nm influence for good.
Those things, both local and general,
which most deeply concern its readers
ought to be discussed in good hard
words through its editorial columns.
Right things said IN II plain and
forcible way will surely influence pub
lie opinion Alright,

Madison as the committee TO investi-
gate the books and records OF the
several departments Of the state gov
eminent to ascertain and report the
exact condition Of the states finances.
This action is taken In accordance
with the resolution passed at the
recent state convention. In his adj
dress as permanent chairman Mr..
Aylward charged the Republican ad-
ministration with gross extravaganza,
and the resolution TO secure semi-ofii-
cial information of the condition OF
the state finances was taken as a
result. Chairman Manson in his
letter Of appointment says in part:
GAS these matters are matters OF
public interest and relate to the trans
action of the public business and
involve only the examination OF pub
lie books and records, ] assume that
the heads OF the different departments
at Madison will be willing to afford
you full opportunity for examination,
for the sole purpose OF ascertaining
the truth, at such times as will not
interfere with the orderly transaction
of the states business"

CUT GRASS AND WEEDS.

IL has been the custom for many
years In Mineral Point for the weed
commissioners TO cut the high grass
and weeds growing In the streets and
alleys OF the city, The Democrat has
repeatedly called attention to the fact
that property owners are required by
an ordinance 10 do this work. This
season the city authorities have In
structed the weed commissioner to
destroy only tho noxious weeds, aud
and should property owners fail to
keep the street or Streets or
alleys, upon which their properties
abut, clear and free from other weeds
and high grass the expense TO the city
OF SO doing can be charged against
the property and collected as other
taXes. But interest In the city's well
fare should make the enforcement of
the ordinance unnecessary. The town
will never present n tidy appearance
until owners and occupants Of lots
feel that the responsibility for the con
dition of the streets and alleys rests
largely upon themselves. Mine raj
Point can be made II beautiful city II
Its citizens perform rightly their parts
in aiding the authorities in the work
Of making and keeping 1t so,

CHLOROPHYLL.

Chlorophyl Is perhaps the most I'M

which the existence of all living things
is ultimately conditioned, Only In II
very few unlmportant forms devoid Of

Madison Democrat: More play
grounds for Madison, thanks to the
continued benefactions of Mr.. Burr
w. Jones! The tenth ward Is the
local beneficiary this time. University
Heights school-Randall school-may
have n fine field comprising an acre
and third for Fairgrounds. The
matter is before the people of Madison
and on such terms that nothing
remains TO be done but to accept
them. This new field, 240x240 feet,
Immediately adjoining school
yard of like dimensions, will make
one of the most desirable plots for the
purpose In all the city.
The new play ground will be called
the Olive Jones Field in honor of the
late Mrs. Burr w. Jones who from
the inception OF the play grounds
movement was It's earnest advocate
and supporter. Out OF life conse-
Grated to others Mrs. Jones found
time for this new blessing to her fell
lows. The extent of her labors for the
happiness of those within the circle
of her acttv tiles will need no monu-
ment other than the gracious remem-
ORANGES Of her friends. The measure
OF her work for humanity will he fee

the Olive Jones Field Is perhaps the
most appropriate object that could be
