Wisdom In Raising a Family.

E. s. Martin writes philosophically about Raising a Family" in the De- cember number of Harper's magazine, and Elizabeth Shippen Green has made beau tful paintings of children to illustrate it. These are some of the things he has to say on a subject of eternal interest;
 After all what an extraordinary specu- lation it is to raise q child Nobody would risk 1t if it were not for the draw backs of the alternative"
 There is nothing-almost nothing-that any adyenturer can leave behind in the world that is so satisfactory both to the adventurer and 10 the world, as q good family; one made up of individuals who have brains and manners, aspirations and compunetions; wise standards of living and high standards of conduct"
 "A family cam be raised too much-so much that 1t doesn't get fair chance to grow
 Children have the best chance when there enough of them to insure a wholesome. diffusion of the parental en- ergies."
 "rhe best thing we can leave our chiI- dren is freedom, and. whether parents
 
 dren free that most parents aim Free from want. or any reasonable fear of it. if we can, though most of us can't. And if we cannot do that for them we are the most solicitous to put them in due season in the way of do- ing it for themselves
 "A child that has been so raised that 1t can't conveniently lie. and is instinct lively averse to deception. has been well started in the direction of right living One way to promote that disposition is 10 respect childs legitimate reserves" "The philosophic parent will be wary of expecting too much gratitude from the young while they are stlll young ace. To inculcate in children an undue sense of debt to their parents seems a mistake ...... An oppressive sense of obligation. . ....may mar the beauty of the relation" Tt belongs to us as parents to raise the children We Lave got taking them as we find them..... To make the best of what we have got is the parental am...... Good of the kind gives satis- faction. What the kind is-I won't say does not matter, but at any rate it seems not to be vitally important since 1t takes all kinds to make the world"

Take Up License Schedule.

The miscellaneous committee met to- night at the city hall to complete the license schedule for 1908, and though the citizens were invited to join the commit tee in their deliberations but few availed themselves of the opportunity. A few presented their views to the committee and were given due consideration. The committee is composed of sound business men and the citizens seem satisfied to leave the matter entirely in their hands. In this connection the committee has de- voted much time to this matter and no increase has been made without due in- vestigation and always with an equitable view between the city and it's citizens.

Montgomery, November 1s.-(Spe- cial.)-The presence of ladies in the lobby of the capitol to use their in- fluence against the passage of a pro- hibition bill. and others to work for its success, gave the legislators a great. deal to talk about today. Mobiles fight to hold the liquor licenses was be- hind the movement and the rest of the state stood off and watched the prog ress of the contest.
 The Mobile ladies who are here to prevent the passage of the bill are naturally placed in bad light with those who see no good in the sale or barter of liquors of any kind, and no doubt the ladies have been made to feel the effect of this feeling. However, they are not any more in favor of the evils of liquor than otheT women, but they see the schools put out of busi- ness even this year without the money that comes from the saloon licenses. They say they are not working to keep whisky in. but to be allowed time to make other arrangements to take care of the schools.
 There are about $500 children in the schools of the Gulf City. The chools as now run cost $15,000 month in the county, the county and the city being run all togteher. All of the saloon licenses are paid into the school fund so that there Is now, and has been plenty of money to meet the expense but it will all be cut off at one fell swoop if the bill is passed to become effective even next year.
 Murphy Talks.
 'Mobile has a peculiar people, said Superintendent Murphy of the city and county schools. We have a foreign population that is all the time kick ing about their liberties anyway, so that if we cut off their drink they will be all the more troublesome. Our town is only a small New Orleans. and we have the same class of people to deal with"
 Other Mobilians contend that if the sale of liquor is cut out without it's being acceptable to the citizens of the county as d. whole it will be impossi- ble to enforce the law. They say 1t will result in blind tigers and other lawlessness, and they urge that they be allowed to handle the situation as was contemplated when the local option bill was passed. If this is done, they say. in good time the liquor business will be voted out, but not in jump so as to cripple the schools.
 It is interesting to note that one

DALLAS PLEASED
 WITH THE MEASURE Necessity for Prohibition Is Eliminated By Legislature WANT STREET PAVING Protest, However, of Some Property Owners Is Delaying Matters, As
 Officials Fear Contest In
 the Courts.
WANT STREET PAVING

Selma, November 1S.-(special.) )-selma
 and Dallas county have considerable in-
 terest in the prohibition bill that will be
 voted upon tomorrow in the senate. About
 a month ago the prohibition movement
 was formally instituted in this county. At
 that time there was a strong sentiment
 to push the election before January 1. so
 that the saloons could be closed at the
 first of the coming year. Conservative
 action, however, led to an agreement be-
 tween the liquor men and the prohibition
 committee which had for it's terms that
 II Dallas county voted to go dry in an
 election held after January l the City
 Council would refuse to g1ant licenses for
 term longer than October 1. This was
 the Selma agreement. It was set out that
 as rents were begun in October it would
 be but fair to have the license expire at
 that time. There were some who did not like the arrangement and a little agita ton would have precipitated an election
 in Dallas before January 1, thereby mak- ing prohibition effective if the vote had
 been favorable, as it certainly would upon the advent of the new year.
 There were certain strong prohibition advocates, however that declared they would vote against the proposition if an injustice was attempted upon the whisky men and the former agreement prevailed That Speaker Carmichael has adopted this agreement in his bill is very agree able to Selmians, for it will do away with the necessity for an election. It is true it will trim the sails of some would be reformers, taking their thunder away but the enactment of statutory prohibit
 ton will be very agreeable to 90 per cent of Dallas voters.
 Street Paving.
 Selmians that is the majority of them, are becoming anxious to see the dirt fly in the movement to pave Broad and Water streets. The City Council has ordered bids advertised for the paving, but there are a large number of property owners along the thoroughfares who have entered a protest, and the authorities are going slow, not wishing to have John Law upon them. There are others who think that it is just as well to go ahead and fight it out in the courts and be over with it, for it is usually the
 case that all progress has to meet with obstacles.

Her shoes and stockings are substan-

She is a contrast to all the other wo-

and ripped gloves lacking buttons or

Declaration First Published,

In the columns of the Pennsylvania
Magazine, where it occupies something
less than two pages, the Declaration
Of Independence was first published to
the world. The issue was the number
for July, 1776, the last number to be
published. At that time the magazine
was edited by Tom Paine, sometimes
called "the infamous" and by curious
anomaly the periodical was published
by Robert Aitken, the publisher Of the
first Bible in English to make its ap-
pearance in this country.
No attempt was made by the maya
zine to interrupt the even tenor Of its
way in introducing this most impor-
tant state paper. The historic docu-
ment is made to take the place under
the general heading Monthly Intelli-
gence," although there it holds the
place of honor, being followed by the
constitutions of several of the indie
pendent colonies.-Philadelph Ledger.
