this resting spell that things take on
a sort of hopelessness. There is a
tradition that if boomers will not get
weary in decent booming they will
reap good and substantial harvests. 1t
is hard work to be a lone boomer
when everyone else is silently work
ing for Mr.. Self and no one else. 1t
is terribly hard to knock over the
obstacles that hinder towns growth
when the prevailing sentiment is
Throw out the booming crew and let
the ship drift" The boomer has to
cultivate the mysterious quality of
licep-at-it He has to use all the
visible contrivanNs that lend themA
selves to furthering the growth of the
city, but he has the testimony of ira
dition that he will Bye and bye get a
harvest. Boomers are not magicans,
not a whit. and cities do not grow by
magic, tricks or acts. Things move
on when things are so arranged that
cog fits cog and when balance and
springs are all they zhould be. No
magic in it, no touching of. sapless
twigs and making them come out in
leaf, flower or fruit. City building
means work, it means booming, it
means nice adjustment OF everyone
TO everyone else. it means a superb
relationship between all parts of the
city financial social and political.
There is real even if mysterious,
force, behind all intentions to make
q city grow larger and better
things and these forces bring about
the desired end in time, because there
is law OF cause and effect that is
sure and certain. Keep at it, keep
at it when sleepiness overtakes city,
push, and if there is no let up, the
thing that is aimed at will be reached.
When things are still and lfeless give

Visit Mount Vernon" Says Doct
Hale.

Hale.
Edward Everett Hale in his editorial
page contributed to the May Woman
Home Companion advises all good
Americans to visit Mount Vernon. He
says:
II am supposing myself writing to
the same group of unknown friends
who walked through the capitol with Inc
a month ago. You are right in spend.
ing your first day at the capitol. This
puts you in touch with the days which
are to follow. If I am permitted to
quote the Pope's phrase again. 1t puts
you in touch with week in Washing
ton, or with month in Washington, OF
life in Washington. The capitol is
the center.
But when you have spent one day in
the capitol, next to that, you are to
give your first truly fine day to Mount
Vernon. When you make your engage
ments, try to say, If it is fine day we
are going to Mount Vernon the first
thing in the morning. Dr. Hale says
we must do So In the first place the
more you know of George Washington,
the better it will be for you. and it is
good to have clear idea of the home
life of George Washington. Poor man,
he did not have too much Of 1t himself.
From 1775, when he was already "the
first citizen of Virginia, to 1909. when
he died, is only twentyfour years. OF
those twenty four years he spent the
seven years of the Revolution away
from home, so that between May, 1775,
and September, 1881, he did not even
see Mount Vernon. Then from April,
1889, to the fourth of March, 1897, he
was away from home as president. Fiji
teen years out of twenty-four he was
away from Mount Vernon. But he
loved Mount Vernon with just the love
which You have for the old home of
your girlhood.

Asked whether he thought there
was possibility of democratic Sue
cess in the next presidential election,
Col Henry Watterson, editor of the
Louisville Courier-J ournal, replied
"Do I think there Is chance for the
democratic, party at the next cleo
tion?" he said with grim smile
~Yes, If we should have cholera in
the Philippines, yellow fever in Cuba /;
If corn should drop to 30 cents and
wheat to 40 cents. Then we would
have a good chance. Yes. and we
might win. too. il the republican party
should split wide open.
But Colonel Watterson showed he
did not have much faith in that pos
sibiIity by referring later to the mag
m6cent organization and SURPRISING
leadership OF the republican party for
more than forty -ars.
Although he believes that William
Jennings Bryan is talking too much
and using too little discretion in what
he IS saying. Colonel Watterson says
the Nebraska statesman seems to be
che only man in the running for the
democratic nomination for the Presi-
deucy

Our country's commerce continued
its splendid progress through the
month of March More American
made goods and American farm prod
ucts were sold during the past month
than ever before during the same
period. The excess over last year OF
goods sold to other countries for the
single month, is over seventeen mil
lion dollars. During the month OF
March we also bought of other
countries ten million dollars worth
more goods than during the same
month last year Selling more and
buying more, increases to foreign
trade which had already surpassed
the best records of other countries
and is making surprising additions to
the wonderful figures of other months
and other years. This is the situation
which the people of the United States
are being urged to disturb and change
through tariff tinkerng and political
experiments.

If the farmers of Michigan are not
favorably interested in Senator Ely
effort to secure the enactment of a
bill at the present session of the leg
islature to do away with the road
labor method of providing for
country road Improvement and the
substitution therefor of reasonable
cash tax, it is because they fail to
recognize in that measure the value
it surely possesses for the farms and
farmers and the country roads of our
state No other feature of farm sim
provcment exceeds in importance the
betterment OF the roads through
which the farm is connected with his
market and his neighbors. The road
labor tax provision has been better
than nothing, but is entirely made
quate to meet the purposes to which
1t was related 1t has outived what
ever usefulness it ever possessed
Senator Ely's bill should become a

should be its most aggressive friends.

1t has been stated. but whether
with any authority from President
Roosevelt is not known, that when
he comes to Indiana and Michigan
next month, he will make use of one
Of his speeches to present again and
emphasize his views OH the ship sub
sidy question. President Roosevelt is
quite convinced that a serious mis-
take is being made by the United
States in permitting almost the en-
tire trade of certain countries to be
taken by our national trade competi-
tors through use of the very means
we refuse to adopt. 1t is thought of
President Roosevelt that he would
not urge measure he did not fully
beiieye in as one of great value to
our country and Our people, and his
plan to restore American shipping
and to secure and hold important
lines of trade which are now being
carried in other ships for other
countries is worthy of far more re-
Spect and friendly consideration than
1t has up to this time received.

experiment:

The bill now receiving consider

mum salary rate for school teachers
possesses more value for Michigan
than may at once be apparent. Such
provision is on the statute books of
Illinois, Ohio, Indiana and many
other states. Its direct and indirect
purpose is to require efficiency and
TO secure good work in all our
schools. Michigan is unusually for
tunate in the large school fund it
secures from state sources, and the
state should be insistent that the best
possible use be made of this fund.
Cheap teachers are usually poor
teachers, and money spent for poor
teaching is almost worse than wasted.
Many school officers forget the inter-

teachers, but the. state should not be

the railroad companies have probably

movement for the protection of Nor

was appointed to bring the matter be-
fore the city council but the appoint

have been negatiyed by action on the
part of the companies along the same
lines.
Following the reopcning of the agl-
tation over Objectionable features Of
Norfolk avenue switching the follow
ing order was sent to Norfolk from
Omaha by superintendent w. II. Cahill
of the Union Pacific:
Omaha, Neb.-Train Men and En-
CINE Bulletin: AS much of the switch
ing as possible at Norfolk should be
done at north end so as to avoid dan

continued as much as possible. Train

rest for violation of these rules and
it will be up to the party at fault to
settle their own cases.

A similar order was also sent to
Norfolk from Omaha by Superinten-
dent +. Il. Nicoles of the Minneapolis
& Omaha line. The train crews were
at once informed of the orders by
Agent G. w. Landers.
Directors of the Commercial club
said that the orders of the railroad
companies, if enforced, would meet
the requirements of the Norfolk av-
enue crossing situation. Sol Mayer,
who heads the committee from the
club on the matter, said that the ac-
ton by the roads embodied what the
club had sought for and apparently
rendered action by the council unnec-
essary at this time.
Officers of the Northwestern will
also be conferred with at once to as
certain what steps that road will take
to render the Norfolk avenue crossing
less dangerous.
