Give Charm to Town.

Attractive streets, we'll paved
 good sidewalks, clean appearing buildings, signs arranged we'll, all go to add a charm to town. One of the things that often gives strang- CTS to a town a bad impression is the loose manner in which store keepers and others take care of the exterior of their places. Often not a sign about the place is to be found to designate the character of the business carried on, and this can only be known by a peep through the open door. The windows are often arranged in such way as to give little knowledge of the goods handled. During the summer time awnings hanging low over the walks so that the passerby must stoop to avoid them, are found in many places. Just little care is needed to improve along these lines. An attractive sign does not cost much and is a good investment for the storekeeper. Cleanliness in front of business places makes a good inn pression. In fact strangers will seldom enter store if the outside appearance indicates slOvenlineSS and carelessness. The up-to-date merchant will always be found with a we'll cared for establishment. It is quite often you can tell the busi- ness importance of a man in the

 Mrs. Besant, who succeeded Colo nel Olcott as world president, is one of the most magnetic women in the worlds So cosmopolitan is she both in languages and tastes, that she is equally at home before Orien- tai, English, French or German au- diences.

The Bill Board Nuisance.
Exchange

In attempting to abate the nui- sance of big and unsightly billboards the Municipal Art society of New York has urged the plan of taxation. it's the owner of land has the right to do what he pleases with it; but it is believed that law taxing revenue-producting bill boards would be declared constitutional by the courts. The society. submitted a bill to the state legislature providing that all surfaces above eight feet square used for outdoor advertising purposes shall be taxed twelve cents per square foot unless permanently painted in oil, in which case the tax shall be eight cents. Rocks, trees and other natural objects, when devoted to advertising, are scheduled at the higher rate, in addition to special tax of five dollars year. The society has also prepared, and will urge, an amendment to the city ordinances, limiting the height of roof signs to five feet above the cor nice, and imposing a tax of twenty five cents a square foot. The soci- ety does not aim or hope, to elimi- nate outdoor advertising, but mere

HARTMAN TO FACE COURT.
Aggressive Move Is Planned by Fed
eraI AuthorIties.

Two important steps to be taken I'm the
governments present proceedings against
the Hartman consolidation Of railroads
have been determined.
First-The Interstate Commerce Com
mission has decidede to go into the
Federal courts in New York and ask that
an order be issued requiring L. II. Har-
riman to answer questions concerning the
transfer OF stock of the Union Pacific
which he declined 10 answer when on the
stand as witness before the commission
in New York several weeks ago.
SecOnd-AIl the testimony collected by
the commission during the progress of its
inquiry into the operations of the numer-
Gus railroads comprising the Hartman
system will be forwarded 10 the Attorney
General for his consideration. II viii then
be up to that official TO decide whether
the Hartman consolidation shall BE- prose
cuted as a combination in restraint OF
trade under the provisions OF the Sher-
man antitrust act.
This. in brief, Is the programme Of the
government at present as it is repre-
sented by the Interstate Commerce Com
mission. Circumstances may arise thai
will induce the authorities 10 change or
=
is regarded here as extremely unlikely,
When the members of the commission
returned from New York after their in
teresting session with the recalcitrant
Mr.. Hartman, they decided to so into
the courts and make an effort 20 compel
the capitalist to throw light upon GER
tain transactions concerning which he
refused TO answer questions as a witness.
contending thatsthe matters touched upon
in no manner affected or involved inter-
state commerce, and accordingly the
commission had no Jurisdiction.
Action in this connection was delayed
by advice of Frank g. Kellogg and c. A.
Severance, special counsel, who took the
position that the law governing should
be further inquired into. Mr.. Kellogg has
prepared his report bearing upon the pro-
posed court proceedings. 1t is understood
that it is favorable to a move that will
require Mr. Hartman, BY judicial process,
to give up the information with which he
showed so much reluctance to part when
he appeared as the star witness in the
case at the New York hearing.
Some people are inclined TO the belief
that differences exist among members OF
the Interstate Commerce Commission as
to the advisability Of forwarding 10 the
Attorney General evidence collected thar
Is alleged to show violations of the Sher-
man antitrust act in the conduct and
management Of the Union Pacific and the
Southern Pacific roads, As far as can be
learned, no differences OF any kind have
developed among the members OF the
Federal body since the Hartman inquiry
was undertaken
To John G. MllbuFn and r. s. Lovett

side of the story concerning the Union
