The Founder of Democracy.

1t is eminently right and in full ac-
cord with the teachings of patriotism
that people should celebrate the
natal day of the early patriots
OF the republic. Thomas Jefferson
was the exponent of those ideals OF
civil liberty and justice among men
upon which the government of the
people was founded and it was upon
his theory of government absolutely
III tune with the spirit of the fathers
of which he was one, that the demo-
cratic party was established.
Rock Island. county democrats will
celebrate in fitting manner Monday
evening, Jefferson day. A banquet
will be served at the Harper in the
evening at which Hon. L. B. Stringer
of Illinois and Hon. Martin j. Wade
of Iowa will be the chief orators. 1t
is not to be an invitation affair-just
a democratic lovefeast in the partici-
patton of which all who profoundly
revere the memory of Jefferson, re-
|gardless Of present day political affil-
.iation, will be allowed to attend to
the full capacity of the accommoda-
lions OF the dining hall of the Eotel,
If provided with tickets.

20. K" for Mother Goose" and
"Bluebeard' for children's reading;
IN. G." for the goody-goody books.
This was the dictum of former state
president of the Illinois Congress of
Mothers, Mrs. William Hefferman. in
an address in Chicago. AS TO Blue
beard" she Said such tales, with all
their cruelty and horrors, were to be
preferred to the "milk-and-water" kind
of reading. up to six years of age
the child should have much of Mother
Goose she said, eulogistically
Nothing in our language can take the
place of these old jingles. They are
not the highest kind of literature, but
they decidedly are literature. They
lay good foundation of wit and hui
NOR in the child and expand it, and
that is most important at that stage
As an antidote against dime novel
reading, she urged: "Try Arabian
Nights Robin Hood Robinson Cru
soe.' Leather Stocking Tales Treas,
ure Island oliver Twist These
books have all the adventure and
thrills and blood and thunder that the
rankest dime novel can show, and
more, but they are literature"

Wood pulp and Paper Trust.

Now that President Roosevelt has
third time urged congress to put wood
pulp on the free list, with correspond
ing reduction of the duty on paper, it
remains to be seen whether the ways
and means committee will adhere to
its determination recently announced
by Chairman Payne to President Rid
der of the American Publishers asso-
citation, not to open the door to any
the interest not only of the publish
ers of all newspapers, magazines and
books and all the readers thereof, but
also as a means of preserving Ameri-
can forests, this measure to put a
curb on the extortions of the paper
trust should receive the prompt atten-
ton of congress. The price of print
paper has already been lifted so high
as to force many publishers to in
crease their prices. and 1t is only a
question Of time, If relief be not had,
when all newspaper, magazine and
other readers Of the country will di-
rectly feel the effects of the paper
trust monopoly.
The argument against a general
opening up Of the tariff revision ques-
tion at this session is unassailable.
and if the legislation urged by the
president in regard to who'd pulp could
not be had except at such cost, this
would be a sufficient reason for re-
fusing to take up the matter at this
time. But wood pulp and print paper
can both be free listed without any
such opening up Of the general re-
vision issue by the action of the ways
and means committee in connection
with the rules committee of the house.
| Once in the senate, prompt action
would be had, both on account of the
merits of the measure itself and be
cause it is one of the things the dem.
|ocratic opposition would not filibuster
against. It is, in fact, one of the meas
ures which the minority leader in the
house has declared must be passed by
that body, else the democratic opposi
ton will so far as possible block all
general legislation.

Enormous Values in Greater New
York.

The rapid growth of public service
franchise values in New York City is
shown by their assessment this year
at s493 0OO. 900 against $361 100000 In
19O6-an increase for the two years of
3331s per cent But large as are these
franchise values. they are slight COM
pared with the land values OF that
city. which have increased from 3d.
O0O, 600, 900 in 1904 to about $4.OO0,000,-
900 in 1905 Lawson Purdy. chairman
of the New York City tax commission.
in a recent official report emphasizes
the enormous growth of these values
by saying that the naked landt that
underlies the city of New York, as as
sessed for taxation, exclusive of build
ings, exceeds in value all the real es-
tate in Pennsylvania and is nearly dou-
BILE that of the state of New York out
side the metropolis. The assessed
value of the bare. land of six square
miles-one-sixth of township-in the
vicinity of Central park, exceeds all
the real estate values in Missouri.
The naked land values of the borough
of Manhattan are assessed at $2.112,-
000, 900, while it's buildings are put at
only $1,323 O0c.000-iess than half the
value of the sites on which they stand
And yet it is in this borough, the old
island of Manhattan, where the costly
skyscrapers most abound. No New
York skyscraper, it. is said. howeve,
high it towers in the air and however
deeply it's Easements burrow in the
earth, equals in cost the value of the
site on which it stands Translated
into 100-acre farms, valued at $50 an
acre, the naked land values of New
York City would be equivalent to 73S,
, 537 such $4,000 farms, or belt Of
such farms mile in width passing
four times around the earth.

far as the public is concerned, IN
fighting the measures for restriction
and regulation as were the advocates
of prohibition at the polls. The liquor
interests will find they are making
a grave mistake if they persist in
their opposition to the first move to
govern their business. not according
to the ideas of those who though con-
scientiously disposed would indiscrim.
inately destroy them, but in fuihli-
ment of the purpose OF those VINO
voted against prohibition no longer
than a week ago.
They are furnishing argument to
those interests that have maintained
that the saloon will fight any form
OF law enactment or law enforcement
that is not wholly to its liking.

To her the foremost prize
And whisper in q pleasant voice
That she is just cur size.

Are fairly well supplied
With qualities which lend them charms
That cannot be. denied.
Let others rave about the fall
And DER it fume and fuss.
We serve due notice that the spring
Is good enough for us.
With cherry blossoms in her hair {
And blessings,in her hand.
She gently saAnfers down the road
And smiles 5Ipeat the band.
Then every od4sdue notice takes,
And every Iqother's son
Who rubbers at her says in glee,
''Ah. there. ny pretty one"' 4t

marriage day had once been set. Dea-
con Bromley had then favored the

The Practical Retirement of Saloon
Conditions.

There are two contentious sustained
by the opponents of, prohibition. One
is based on the theory of the abridge-
ment of the constitutional guarantee
of personal liberty, and the other
the failure of the principle as a prac-
teal remedy. These two views of the
proposition were brought out promi-
nently during the campaign just closed
with the advocates CT saloon ami
hilation on one side and the oppo-
nents of the doctrine of prohibition
on the other The people by a ma
jority that was not dreamed of by
one side and hardly to be hoped for
by the other, decided against any ex-
pertinent with prohibitory tendencies
in Rock Island. But they did not de-
eide in favor of the unrestrained sa-
loon. Throughout the campaign in
Rock Island moral conditions locally
speaking, became the base of argu-
ment on the part of those sustaining
the local option side of the ccntro.
versy, Notwithstanding that those who
were at the. base of the movement ad.
mitted and still admit that their aim
is uncompromisingly against the sa-
loon as an institution which should
not be tolerated under any condition.
That this is the general theory of
those who seek to apply the force of
the local option law in Illinois was
shown in the fights made in other
cities in the state where the saloons
are properly regulated and as nearly
as possible ideal conditions prevail
in the matter of regulation. OF Elgin,
Kewanee and Rockford this was essen
TALLY true and in the latter city
where stringent regulation has exist.
ed, the local optionists succeeded in
wiping the saloon out of existence,
nevertheless.
In Rock Island, however, the situa-
ton was different. There was ground
for serious complaint against the man.
. ner in which the liquor interests have
conducted themselves. This admitted
condition is not Characteristic of the
present more than of the past. Yet
