"The recent concerted action on
the part of the managers of the Bal
timore theaters agreeing to do away
with window and store posters and
playcards is one step closer to ban
ishing the offensive billboard" said
gentleman interested in the move
ment to remove these devices from
the streets of the capital.
"It is, however, only step, and
a small one in the right direction.
The sentiment in this city is general
and emphatic that the billboard
must co. but unfortunately public
sentiment, unbacked by official &C
ton and ordinance, is insufficient to
bring about this reform.
"If the city authorities undertake
as is done, to exercise censurship
as to certain classes Of posters which
are pasted upon billboards, and to
use unless concealed by other post
ers, why not 60 step further and
prohibit the use of posters entirely?
IF the question Of property rights
be involved in that an owner might
claim the right to erect billboards
on his vacant property back Of the
building line, over the city, the
quicker this question is. settled by
suit the better from the point of
view of those who wish to see the
measure in operation in this city.
Assuming that it should be de-
cided in test case that an owner
had such right in these instances,
the fact that billboards could be
reached and abolished from the side
walks and outside of the building
line, and in other places which would
come under the provisions of the or
dnance, a great deal of good would
be accomplished for the instances of
vacant property in which the larger
bfllboards are set back of the build
ing line are few as compared with
other opportunities to display the
posters.
Elm any event the time is now
ripe for official action to carry out
the wishes of the majority, and it is
to be hoped for the sake of the city
that it will not be further delayed.
Some definite action would be well
coined by those people who believe
both in the theory and practice or

The New York board of education
by vote of 81 to II, has defeated
proposition to restore corporal pun
ishment in the schools. This is a
pretty close vote, considering all that
has been said on the subject for
years by sentimentalists, while the
other side has scarcely been heard.
Whipping tends to degrade the char
acter of the pupil, but it is an unde-
niable fact that most of the men who
amount to anything in the important
walks of life today were well ac-
quainted with the use of the rod
when schoolboys. 1t Is also argued
that moral suasion Is amply sufficient
to preserve order in a school room
This is probably true, but the obiec-
ton is that moral suasion Ia such a
slow process. 1t is rather hard on
children whose opportunities for
study are limited to have 70 wait
while the teacher takes round
about way to accomplish what might
be effected in a few minutes under
the old-fashioned plan. Another
familiar argument is that vicious
ness on the part of pupils is nearly
always due to some physical defect,
but anyone who stops to think about
1t will see that that idea Is bosh. 1t

men of today were bad boys" when

From Idaho Falls.

In answer to our state presidents
request that Idaho Falls tell some.
thing of their May-Day Cleaning, the
V. l. s. correspondent sends the fol-
lowing:
The suggestion that we have a
"May-day house cleaning" was made
by Mrs. w. E. Wheeler three years
ago and has been an annual occur
ence ever since and we feel has been
quite a success. 1t is difficult to tell
just how the spirit is worked up-lt
just seems to be contagious.
The first Saturday in May is ad-
vertised as the time when each prop.
erty owner or holder will clean his
back yard The city sees to cleaning
the alleys and business men the
downtown sections. Boys and girls
helping to pick up loose papers and
the like on the streets.
1t is talked of in the schools. Neat
and attractive looking garbage cans
are placed in prominent places, usu-
ally on street corners.
The effect is wholesome one
not only in the appearance Of the
city, but also in the civic pride awak-
ened in both old and yougn.
You will often seen children even
when 1t is not cleaning day" pick
up some stray paper or other float
ing rubbish and put in the baskets,
Our cooked food sale on Satur-
day put over $50 in the treasury for
hospital use.

''Do Ye Next Thynge."
(Author Unknown.)

From an old English parsonage
Down by the sea,
There came in the twilight,
A message to me.
It's quaint Saxon legend
Deeply engraven,
Hath as it seems to me,
Teachings from Heaven
And thro' the hours
The quaint words ring y
Like low inspiration:
"Do We next thynge."
Many a questioning,
Many a fear.
Many a doubt !,
Hath its quieting here.
Moment by moment, "a
Let down from Heaven, s
Time, opportunity, Il;
Guidance given
Fear not tomorrow

Trust them with Jesus,
do We next thynge."
