 pr. Johnson's plea to club women was that they educate themselves by studying education for one year. after which they would be able to comprehen- sively suggest changes to school boards and superintcndents.

 DIR. JOHNSON AD-
 DRESSED IoNIAN CLUB.
 The members of the Io1ian CluH and A number of invited guests met yes terday morning with Mrs. Claude Cobns. This is the meeting that was to be held on Thursday and the date was. made an earlier one that the pleasure of hearing an address from pr. Lillian Johnson might be enjoyed. The beau tiful out of- season spring weather made the meeting on the gallery of Arcad,. the beautiful suburban home of MT. and Mrs. Cobbs, an especially delightful one. An informal reception was rendered Dr. Johnsons to whom each member desired to be presented, and afterward the feature of the morn- ing was the address which was inspIr- ing. forceful and interesting.
 In appropriate terms Mrs. Wm. l.. Durr introduced Dr. Johnson to the audience of club women and visitors.
 Dr. Johnson has made many friends .durinr her stay in Montgomery, and on this occasion she added to the list. Her address was along educational lines. but before taking up the subject she made reference to the years study of the Ionian, "A winter in Florence" Her remarks touching upon the school of Humanistic writers of the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries were splendid ly comprehensive.
 With q connected line of thought Dr. Johnson led her hearers to com- plete realization of this-the twentieth century renaissance period.
 The great cause of education was presented by Dr. Johnson in a most interesting manner. She depicted the needs. conditions and results in con- vincing way. She described a model college for women as one having a central recitation building, with small cottages placed about in horse shoe form. each to accommodate from twelve

FL PASO HERALD WITH ARIZONA.

Ever since the proposition was first made to join New Mexico a"d Arizona into one state tie ET Paso Herald has stood with the people of Arizona in opposing the jointure. We take the following from the Herald:
 Arizona is standing just as pat now as ever on the anti-joint state hood question and her leaders took pleasure in informing Assistant Post master General Hitchcock of the fact when he was in Phoenix this week. The inauguration of Curry as gover. nor of New Mexico and his statement that he was in favor of single state hood if possible, but if not, then joint statehood with Arizona, set the Ari- zonans to thinking a bit and they have renewed the discussion with all their old time interest and fervor They are afraid there is bug under | the log somewhere
 ''The Arizonans cannot be blamed as the Herald has often said. There is no necessity for linking these two territories up as one no more than there is in attempting to tie Texas and Louisiana together, and neither Ltterritory can be blamed for fighting ii. Either is great enough to be a single state. New Mexico has a lot of people who are opposed to the un- ion, but there are a lot more, who, like Governor Curry, think joint state hood is better than no statehood at all and who are willing to accept it that way and trust to outvoting Arizona and ruling the new state. This might be possible, but there would be con tinuous political scraps besides which Kilkenny cat affair would be as peaceful as a pink tea, and the condi- tion would soon be worse that what New Mexico now faces. It is best that the two territories remain as they are. rather than become one amaIgamated sIate under such circumstances"

REPUBLICANS AND
 THE TARIFF.

The San Francisco Argonaut is a republican paper. Read the warning the Argonaut gives to is party:
 The Argonaut, as everybody knows who knows anything about it, is a very earnest republican. It is so good a republican as to be grieved and shocked at the plight in which the party stands on the tariff issue. It is ashamed of the indecision, the weak ness, the delay which has given us the mere echo of promise where we ought to have performance. And now We say to the leaders of the republi- can party that unless they shall find a way to subordinate the influence of the protected trusts in the party coun: ciis, unless they shall fird way to keep faith with the people. the party will sooner or later go down to de- feat. No political party which lacks the power to keep its word, which is not strong enough within itself to put down those who would use it to sell fish ends, can permanently retain the respect of the country or command the allegiance of a majority of the people. This, perhaps, may be called
 very plain falkland it is none the less deserving of respect because il is plain"

A REPUBLICAN ROAST FOR ROOSEVELT.

We find the following in the Ari- zona Republican. Evidently MT. Hitchcock did not repair all the breaks in the Roosevelt political fence in this territory during his re- cent visit to Phoenix:
 "The Topeka Capital, a republican newspaper and hitherto a strong sup porter of the national administration has just made a more serious charge against President Roosevelt than had been preferred against him in the whole course of his political career. The charge is made by the Capital in a discussion of Judge PrItcnard, the federal judge, who sought to enjoin the state authorities of North Carolina from enforcing the state laws for the regulation of the railroads of that state.
 'The Capital states that Pritchard is a wholly unfit man for that office and that he had been elevated to it by the president, not by accident or mistake, but for political purposes.
 ''The Kansas City Journal says of this attack upon the president:
 No more serious charge could be made against president of the United States than this. If President Roosevelt elevated one unfit man to the bench for political reasons, the strong presumption would be that he had elevated, or will elevate, others for the same reasons. And a man who would so prostitute the bench would be doubly untrustworthy in other de partments of the government.
 "'There have been mild criticisms of judicial appointments as careless and i'll considered; but this is the first flat charge of. deliberate corrup- ton. It is the more serious because it comes from a republican paper in a strong republican territory and hitherto a thick-and-thin admirer of the president It comes also from a champion Of the strong federal hand If Roosevelt is not above debasing the judicial department for political reasons, what may we not expect from other presidents in all depart, ments?
 "'The Capital owes it to it's readers to produce the evidence on which it bases a charge so startling.'"

been more striking than that reported for the number of pounds of paper used. Of the total amount of paper manufactured in 1905 more than 900,- 900 tons were used solely for news papers and periodicals, representing almost one-third of the entire output of the paper mills of the United States. To make this paper required the services of nearly 15,000 men,
 and represented approximately $9,- OOO 900 in wages. These mills used as raw material 3OO,OOO cords of spruce, poplar and hemlOck logs, rep resenung the timber product of ap- proximately 100000 acres, exclusive of the logs imported from Canada. Thus every working day in the year the forests of New England and the Middle states, with scattered areas elsewhere in the north snd northwest, yielded approximately 1,765,OO0 feet of lumber to be transformed into the newspapers and magazines required to supply the people of the United States.

THE MISSOURI HEN.

The farmers wives and daughters of Missouri marketed 107, ,155, ,65S doz. ems of eggs last year, for which they received more than $16,OOO,0OO. Add, ed to this are the items of live and dressed poultry and feathers, making the comfortable sum of nearly s40,' 900, 900 for poultry products for the past year. s
 These items foot up much more than the surplus wheat crop of that year, and with the single exception of livestock, constitute the greatest source of revenue for any single class ification
 Much has been written of the Mis-. souri hen since the state labor bu, reau began to gather statistics. The poultry of Missouri is much better source of wealth than the gold output of the Pacific coast. and more than twice as great as the precious metal yield of Alaska.
