The latter body has the legal status
of a State institution, and is not
amenable to the city after it's members
have been appointed by the Mayor.

 Claude, the great painter of nature, was often seen carrying home moss and leaves and flowers, and studying them carefully. When he was asked how he made his pictures so true to nature, he answered that he took the greatest pains, even with the smallest trfiies. So should it be with our re- ligion. We should show ourselves christ's people in the most common by. little acts of kindness.
 Never sigh because you can do no great thing, or give no great thing for Jesus. Do what you can, give what you value most. and 1t will not seem small in the eyes of the Lord. No gentle word spoken to turn away an- others wrath. no injury freely. and coura cement and cheer to the lonely or afflicted, is ever forgotten by God. Cheerfulness is one outward and vis- ible sign of the inward and spiritual grace of true religion:
 If we want to lead others to God. we must show that we ourselves are happy, and trustful. are kind and though tful for others. Christ's relig- ion does not turn people into stone, and innocent pleasure, All that Is bright and happy in this world comes from God; the sunshine, the flowers, the song of birds. So all that is best and happiest in our lives comes from low ing, and trusting. and worshtpping our God.
 Brethren, be religious in the small will take care of themselves; strive to be Fod's hero of patience, of self-deniai. of courage, or meekness at home, &nd "still do all for Jesus's sake.

From Paris. we are told. comes the first positive information that the automobiles are fast driving the horse out of use for both business and pIeas- ure. 4 Paris horse dealer of wide observation and experience makes the positive assertion that automobiles are slowly. but surely killing the horse" and 1t is noted that at recent sale in Paris of stable of exceptionally fine horses the animals brought less than one-half the price they would have commanded two or three years ago. It is predicted that what is true of Paris win soon be equally true of the whole of France. That country has probably the finest system of pub- lie roads in the world. and the boule- wards of Paris are exceptionally broad and fine.
 "The tireless motor car," remarks The Kansas City Journal necessarily puts the horses nose out of joint under such circumstances, and the exhilarat- ing, swift flight of the automobile more than compensates for the dig nifty and style of high stepping team and carriage. It is not hard to believe that as soon as the prices of motor cars come within reach of perso IS of moderate means they will be used for businesss purposes as wei. as for pleas ure and will drive the horse out of the large cities. In the country. how ever. especially in the United States where the roads are as rule execra- ble. 1t is likely that the horse will hold his own for many years to come. Con. trary to the general idea. more horses were raised and sold at higher prices, in the United States last yea than ever before"
 If good roads are q necessary pre- liminary to the general use of autos the horse will not take a pack seat in this country in many years to come. In most parts of the United states good roads are mainly conspicuous by their
  absenee. and most of them are not of character to entice the owners of ex- peasve motor vehicles to venture on them. And yet 1t may be a fact that this new method of travelling may be the means of bringing about a desir- able change in our rural road system. While we believe it Is strictly true that the number of horses raised in this country is increasing instead of diminishing, that condition will eventu- ally change, but there must be two other changes elsewhere to bring it about. One is that there must be first class roads through the coun- try. and the other Is that there must be great reduction in the present unreasonable high prices of auto mobiles. When thsFe changes come about the horse Wiu be in far less demand than at present.

 the Sunny South. Occasionally some un- worthy member of his race forgets himself and commits some outrageous that bring forth storms Of words anert the negro's alleged most unhappy lot. But these negroes who create the con- ditions that foment the strife are not the average negroes: they are the "un- desirable citizens" of the clan that is responsible for the greater part of the races woe---as small as that greater part really Is.
 The negro is happy in Dixie. The people there understand him; they have grown up alongside of him, and they know his weakness Moreover, even the crudely intelligent negroes of the South understand this very thing; and they are perfectly content to submit themselves to the situation as it really exists. When let alone. they are very well satisfied with their lot. No negro who behaves ever goes hungry in Dixie; and the vast majority of the negroes do behave.

the same kind In the newspapers of the country. Immense qualities of fruit are shipped to Northern and East srn cities in the expectation of good prices. and each aeason we read that . large portion of these fruits is left unscid and must be destroyed or ship ped back to the starting point. Hard ly any fruit spoiis 90 quickly as the strawberry. and of hardly any is there 50 much waste by reason of failure to find market. In number of in- stances we have noted the fruit, even if it found buyers. did not fetch enough to pay the freight bifis. The same is true to some extent of much of the peach crops that Is shipped away from the South.
 Would it not be much better and much more profitable to sell the fruit here at low prices than to send it off and lose it, And would 1t not be & great deal better to can or otherwise preserve the extra supply and thus have 1t ready for sale or for future use at homer It strikes us that great mistake is made by holding our fruit until it spells. or by shipping 1t away at the great risk of losing it entirely. There is always a de- mand for properly canned. dried or preserved fruit. and the grower might thus find a ready market for all his surplus.
 And that other item about meats being shipped from this country to Europe and then shipped back because there is no paying market for it over there is also significant. Europeans as a general thing are not enormous consumers of meat like the Americans are, and in addition to that fact they are not able or willing to pay high prices for cold storage meats. And while this unwanted surplus of Amesi- can meat Is waiting in vain for mar ket. or being shipped back home. we are paying almost prohihitive prices for all kinds of meat here, and many go without it because they are un- able to pay the price or are unwilling to do so. Evidently there's room for change for the better in our method.

About the cheekiest remark on the political situation that we have read somes from George W. Curtin. Chair man of the West Virginia delegation 10 the National Republican Conven- ton. "A change in the policies of the government" he says. would spell business ruin and disaster" To prop srIy appreciate this declaration 1t is only necessary to state that Curtin is millionaire lumberman who doesn't want the tariff and the trusts interfered with.

 We are beginning to think es never before on the things which nature has given us on the powers which we have developed. and on the best ways and means of making the most out of them. Along what lines may we hope to i'm proyee To begin with. we may cuiti- vate the habit of looking upon the gifts of nature as heritage to which we are ourselves appeinted as trus- tees. Just as we hawe profited by the foretheught of our fathers. so we are under obligation to take thought for the welfare of our children.
 Next to the preservation and in1- provement of our own estate for hand Ing down to others, comes the training of the new generation, not only In their conception as trustees of their inherit ance. but equally so in their capacity to get results that will contribute to the larger happiness of their own and future times. The first of these is the duty of conservation. The second Is the burden of constructive progress.
 For both of these knowledge, train Ing. culture. discipline. self.denial and some sacrifice are the indispensable requisites If our systems Of education are working to turn out this type of individual, then they are worthy of en" couragemant. If not, they are apt to produce an Unbalanced reacttonary or an ill-begotten spepdthrift. Neither of these is welcome at the present stage of our history.
 What we do need is men and means and measures to cut out any unneces- sary element of cost in the distribution Of the necesaaries of life, in the hand ling of raw materials of industry, in the supply of the products of manufac. ture, and In the serupulous admins tration of government both as a tax ing power and as the spender Of public resources We need to reduce unpro- ductive waste and to encourage pro- ductive worth---worth that produces wealth. both material and immaterial.
 Whoever, within the limits of the law and In harmony with the ordinary standards of morality. contributes to these results is laying a broader and securer foundation for the present and future welfare of the people, We may safely judge the acts of great leaders. the practices of corporations. the rec ord of political parties and the admin istration of government by these sim. pie, fundamental standards. Our ca. paeity to do our share in the worlds advances will depend largely on the fidelity with which we adhere to these rules of living within the grasp of ev- cry ordinary man
