Speaker Davey in the Statesman,
gives the city council some extend
ed instructions on how to transact
business. His ability in handling the
legislature makes him an authority
on the expedting of public business,
and Mayor Rodgers and the city
fathers will do well to study his adj
vice carefully, and learn how to push
business and expedite the passage
of bills And It can be said, with
out hurting their feelings, the city
council is composed of men who do
not know It all in the way of parlia-
mentary procedure, and are Willing
to learn from the right source.
II is hard to separate the func-
tions of one man holding several
Jobs. Thus, with the best of good
will, we cannot keep separate the
utterances of Editor Davey and the
acts of Speaker Davey. He plays a
double part as that of DR.. Jekyll and
Mr.. Hyde, in the famous novel and
play by that name. In one moment
he is all-powerful, and the next he
confesses inability to perform. Take
this:
'The Statesman agrees with the
Portland Journal that ONE OF THE
GREATEST MISTAKES OF THE
LEGISLATURE WAS THE FAIL
URE TO ENACT REvENUE-RAIs-
ING LEGISLATION. The house
passed one bill that would have add
ed half million to the revenues of
the state, but Il was beaten in the
senate, and Governor Chamberlain
family organ in this city helped all
It could in the defeat, gloatlng over
Il the next day. We refer to house
bin No. S7."-Salem Statesman.
The wall of Speaker Davey is a
to The Capital Journal.
II little newspaper on the outside |
OF the legislature had more infiu-
ence than he had as speaker in pass
ing bills or defeating them some
thing was wrong. II could not pos
sibly be that the defeat OF all the
revenue measures was due to The
Capital Journal. when the big Port
land dailies, the Statesman, the
speaker and the state tax commits
sion were all arrayed on the side OF
that bill. Editor Davey gives The
Capital Journal credit with having
TOO great a say-so, and the speaker
100 little. The house was able to
hold up senate bills and to force the
senate to do It's bidding on many

DENIsoN's PUBLIC ROADS.

The Denison Board of Trade is
planning for the improvement of two
or three more public roads leading in
TO that city under the cooperative
plan, which has already been employ
ed with great success by that organi-
zation-with such success that the
plan has been adopted by a number
Of enterprising Texas towns. The eX-
ample Of Denison showed the great
possibilities of cooperative effort be-
tween the people of town and country
in the improvement of roads. With
the aid of the country forces the Den
ison Board of Trade, acting with the
farmers on the several roads treated.
has improved three of the principal
roads leading into the town. As re-
suit of this work, it is stated that the
travel over these roads has been won
derfully increased and the trade terri
tory of the town has been greatly eX-
tended. The trade volume shows a
handsome increase and there is every
indication for progress and prosperity.
OF course other progressive efforts
have contributed to the general bet
terment of the city, but the improve
ment of the roads and consequential
strengthening of the agricultural re-
sources has been a potent factor.
Denison people have been shown the
real value of good roads.-Texas

LAND WEALTH OF NEW YORK.
Greater in Aggregate Than That of
 Many . Nation.

Few people realize the tremendous land wealth of New York city today, says a writer in Moody's Magazine. The total land valuations of the city by its recent census reached the enormous figure of $500 900, ,00O; this is an increase of $400.000. 900 in 1907 over 1906, and 1906, in turn, showed an increase of S4s0.000, 900 over 1905. Within a decade the increase has been considerably over 100 per cent. New York real estate is today val ued at more than one-twentieth of the entire wealth of the United States. It is greater than the entire wealth Of many states and even of many for eign countries. It is 25 per cent. more than the entire wealth of Holland, Spain, Sweden and Norway; 50 per cent. more than Switzerland, Den mark or Portugal; 1t is one-third that of Italy. onefourth that of Austria Hungary, one-Hfth that of Russia, one. seventh that of Germany. one-eighth that of France, one-tenth that oi great Britain and Ireland. It is in deed an imperial city in an empire state.

CnILDREN'S HOMES
Two FleurIshing in Waterbury
 al the Present Time.

Waterbury has two baby farms, one kept by Mrs Young on Bucks hill and another in Mohawk park conducted by Mrs Wilson, but 1t ap- pears that there is demand for an- other. The ones already established are doing good work and many find 1t much cheaper to have their chill dren cared for in that way than send them to out of town institutions. It costs $1 week and upward for a child and 1t is hard to see how any thing can be made at that price, but 1t seems that there is little money in it. According to a statute prOvis- ion persons boarding children under 10 years of age other than their own in any number exceeding two in the same house at the same time, shall make report monthly to the select men or board of charities of the town in which the place is located, and it shall be the duty of such off, cials to visit these places now and then and see that the little ones are being we'll treated. Any person vio- lating this law is liable to fine of not less than $50 nor more than $500, or Imprisonment not more than one year. or both.
 Many interested in charities feel that home for children conducted on a large scale would pay in Water bury. It frequently happens that i families find 1t convenient to turn their children over to others for 2 short time, but it is not always an easy matter to secure suitable places for them, and the only alternative is some of the institutions in othel
 towns A home here where they
 could be visited Sundays or oftenel

Keepina Youthful Things.

A busy woman once said that she never knew how much she could ac- complish until she became the com panion of her young sons, sharing their sports and limiting her own working hours to theirs. To-day they are young men and she looks like their sister. There are other young mothers of grown men and they are rather formidable rivals to younger women. The sons unconsciously make comparisons, generally in favor of mother. It Is beautiful to grow up in this fashion with ones children. says a writer: to keep pace with them in new studies and new thoughts, something like a second youth. We are 50 quick to put away youthful things unless we have some such in' centive to hold them.
