The party has already undertaken
the question of supervision of pub

The Pacific Monthly came to hand
this week brim full of interesting mat
ter relating to the West and the won
derful development now going on in
this section of Uncle Sans dominion.
The illustrative feature is fully up to
the high standard set by this popular
magazine.
The first number, tho not the first
issue, of a publication fashioned in APP
pearance after Golfers and The Satur-
day Evening Post, reached this office
this week. 1t is very appropriately
called Human Life, and deals to large
extent with the interesting subject sug-
gested by its name. Not the human
lives long since gone out, but living,
breathing, acting, contemporary human
life. The April number, if it is fair
index to future numbers, is worth the
price, so cents per year. Alfred Hen
ry Lewis, the editor, is not unknown to
American readers.

STORY WITH A MORAL
Never Ride on Railroad Unless
Compelled TO

In the nineteen years since the in
terstate commerce commission began
the collection of facts about accidents
nearly 5000 passengers, over $4,000
employees and nearly 100000 other
persons have been killed on American
railways, and nearly one million more
have been crippled or MANNED, scalded
or crushed, disfgured or invalided; and
we still make no protest. For a coun-
try that has pride this seems to be a
humiliating condition. But the still
more humiliating fact is that conditions
grow worse year by year.
In 1905 it was twice as dangerous to
travel on a railway train or to work for a
railway company in the United States
as it was in 1895.-Everybodys.

Until almost modern times the cere-
mony of washing the feet of beggars,
as performed by the Roman Catholic
archbishop of Westminster, was OBJ
served in the Church of England. Ev-
cry Easter Queen Elizabeth washed,
dried and kissed the feet of as many
poor people as she was years old.
James | and his successor appointed
deputies for the ceremony, but James
II performed it personally and in full.
After 1871 it seems to have been
dropped, but in that year George II
delegated to the archbishop of York
the duty of washing the feet of 48 beg
gars and presenting the royal gifts.
The aged emperor OF Austria still OBJ
serves this royal custom, washing the
feet of twelve old men on Maundy
Thursday.

Indifference 10 Public Duty

DR.. Emil G. Hirsch, of Sinai Tenn
pie, Chicago, in an address at the an
nual banquet of the Chicago Stationers
Association, at the Auditorium Hotel,
delivered a scathing denunciat!on OF
the average American citizen for what
the speaker declared to be his lack Of
interest in public affairs.
In national life" he said, the
effect of this apathy is seen in the
wave of national hysteria which passes
over the land every four years, paralyz-
ing every natural function of the ma
tons life.
In our municipal life we find the
same state of affairs. Why are our
municipalities colossal failures? That
is what they are. Why are our city
governments the laughing stock Of
Europe? 1t is because we are doing
things at random.
The trouble with our public schools
here is largely this-we have not made
our public school affairs our own affairs.
The unbiased historian of America will
have to say that the foreigner has been
an element, not OF menace, but OF
strength. 1t is the listlessness, the
apathy of the American citizen-of
you'll But the day of our national ego
tism and the day of letting things drift
at random is waning. A period of ma
tional and individual cooperation must
come or there will be disaster"

LAND TAX IN ENGLAND
Owner Pays No Tax Unless He Uses
Land--Tenant Pays Tax

Land as such is exempt from local
taxation in England. In may be worth
millions of dollars an acre. AS not in
frequently happens, some great lord
may own all the land underlying
city-his direct taxes to the communi-
ty, which is daily enriching him by its
growth, are measured by the rental OF
the property which he himself occupies.
He pays nothing on his estates, build
ings or mines. The tax is paid by
those who occupy or use them. The
tenant pays the city all Of the taxes,
which may be from one-third to one
half as much as his rent. And If the
property is not rented, it pays no taxes
at all. There is no one from whom
the taxes can be collected. If mine
owner is involved in strike with his
men and the mine closes, the taxes
cease. In consequence land, and
mines, and property are permitted to
lie idle. The people are prevented
from using them. The land owner
reaps his harvest by the growth OF pop
ulation which enables him ultimately
to exact a monopoly price.
1t is this exemption and the throw
ing of all the rates onto the occupier
that lies at the heart of England S
present decay. The exemption OF
land from taxation permits millions of
acres to be kept out of use as hunting
preserves. Millions more are used for
grazing and careless cultivation. Eng
land buys her dairy produce from little
Denmark and Holland, not because
her land is infertile, but because the
landlord is under no incentive to make
use OF it himself or permit another to
do so if he will not. 1t is this that has
driven the English yoeman from the
soil which he cannot till and may not
buy. The farmers and the peasants
are crowded into cities there to increase
still further the rental value of the land;
and there to increase the intensity of
the struggle for existence.

A writer in the Minnesota Horticul-

A writer in the Minnesota Horticul-
turist says:
There are but few people in the
world who do not admire noble trees
on streets or country roads and wher-
ever they are found such thorofares are
the favorite drives.
THE man who plants trees is not
only public benefactor; he, besides,
ministers to his own we'll being, physi-
cal, mental and spiritual. He deserves
credit for altruistic work, and he dis
plays good judgment in securing con-
tentment for himself, thereby affording
a double motive for his endeavors.
Honor and happiness will be his re-
ward"

longer than the maximum length the
government recognizes in paying for

of freproofed wood are used in its con
