STREET PAVEMENT.

A prominent citizen called at the
NEWS office yesterday to learn wheth-
er or not we were in earnest in our
editorial Monday concerning the need
of State street. He is a property
owner in State street and is natur-
ally interested in all concerning
that thoroughfare. Upon being as
sured that the NEWS meant exact
ly what was said, he agreed that the
thoroughfare did not look business
like and he then stated that he had
signed the petition last spring to
have it paved.
What had caused the wonder in the
mind of this citizen was why a bust
ness man would move from State
street to Smith street with the lat
ter in the condition it is now. When
it is realized that a petition was pre-
scented to the aldermen several years
ago asking for the paving of Smith
street from State street to the Cen
trail railroad: that it was fayorably
acted upon, but that it would be folly
to ave a street until it had first
been severed; that a sewer in Smith
street was only completed last sum
mer and that the aldermen had al
ready advertised for bids for the paw
ing to be laid this spring it is evident
the merchants see some chance of
improvement.
The NEWS has always advocated
and will continue to do so until more
evidence than has ever yet been
brought forth is produced, that ma
cadam, when kept in repair properly,
which includes sprinkling in summer,
is the best pavement possible for a
residential street.

A CLIMATE TIA SUITS.

How often we read in the social
news of the metropolitan newspapers
that they are enjoying balmy wealth
err at Palm Beach; that in southern
California flowers are blooming and
everyone is living out of doors, while
here at home we are struggling in
the grasp of a blizzard; sleighing or
skating. with ice covering the bay
from the shore to the light house.
The contrast is sometimes hard to
grasp. For those who have always
lived in the north the very names of
December, January and February
suggest ice and snow with barren or
snow-covered landscape. SO that
when we read Of roses in bloom, and
strolling through shady lanes in Jan
uary, as they do in the south, we are
interested. What seems to us the UNI
seasonableness of it all appeals to
our imagination.
For the past three days, however,
we have had brought home to us as
seldom before what winter in the
south really is. OF course, the foil
age, the lawns and the birds and
flowers in the gardens have not been
with us, but the weather has been
balmy and we canthe more easily
realize just what it must be like in
the south during January. Here,
the past three days have been so
unusual that newspapers have given
columns of space to tell about it.
In the south, the temperature of the
past three days is just their ordinary
winter weather.
1t is doubtful if the people of the
north would want the warm balmy
weather all the year, with hot and
sultry days during the summer OF
course, no one likes the muggy,
damp half-hot. half-cold days, but
the genuine winter is a real delight.
The cold, crisp days, when the blood
tingles and everybody moves along
at a lively gait are healthy and cheer
full and are just as much enjoyed
as the warm, balmy days of the
spring and summer
To have the seasons change as
they do in this section, the summer
months and the winter months fol-
lowing each other just as we begin
to grow tired of them, is the best
as winter when the calendar calls for
climate one coald imagine. Give
it and summer in its proper seaso
