WHY STUDY THE PoETs2

Reasons for studying the poets are
rarely lacking, even among many poo
pie who, as a matter of fact neither
read nor understand anything bat
prose. New and cogent arguments IN
favor Of this delight Of high minds
have recently been presented by the
poet laureate Of England
Mr. Austin claims that the poets
have nobler conception of woman
and Of life than the novelists have, and
that the teaching Of the poets harmon
ICES more closely with the conduct OF
the best women than does that OF the
noyeliHts.
More particularly. Mr.. Austin asserts
that while no other poet has eNtolled
and glorified woman as Dante did IN
the case OF Beatrice, yet that 'Chaucer
Spenser, Milton, Shakespeare, Scott
Byron Wordsworth. Shelley, Tennyson
could all be- shown by opposite illustra-
tion. to leave on the mind conception
OF woman as a being tender. devoted

men bur very few women to the

THE DIES MONIES PnAN.

Newspaper readers are more or less
familiar with what is known as tho
Galveston plan OF city government.
After the disastrous food that swept
the city 1T was thought necessary to
devise some method of administration
that should secure efficiency and hon
esty in the public offices. The Calves
ton plan has been widely adopted, and
in some places. Improved upon. A
modified Galveston plan IL now in
force in Des Molnes, Iowa. and this is
known as the Des Moines plan.
The administration of municipal af-
fairs, under this plan, Is in the hands
of board consisting of the mayor and
four councilmen. The board stands in
the same relation to the business Of
government as the directors of a trad
ing corporation bear TO the company's
business The mayor and council
make all appointments. appropriate
all funds levy and collect taxes, es
tabllsh rules for the direction of sub
ordinate officials and direct the ex-
penditure OF all money. In order that
the responsibility for official acts may
be still further fixed, the business of
the city is divided into five depart
ments; Public affairs, accounts and
finances, public safety, streets and
public improvements, parks and pub
lie property. Each member Of the
council is assigned by mutual agree
ment to one of these departments, the
mayor assuming, by virtue of his office,
the department of public affairs Each
councilman. therefore. becomes in
dividually responsible for the conduct
of the affairs OF his department over
which he exercises the authority of
superintendent.
SO far the Galveston plan Is fol-
lowed very closely. But the Des
Moines plan adds the recall. That is,
any officer may be removed from Of
flee at any time a majority of the cleo
tors believe him to be dishonest or in
efficient A petition of 20 per cent
of the voters compels the accused Of
fice-holder TO go before the people
again for endorsement or rejection.
The plan comprises initiative and
referendum Under the initiative the
voters retain the power of direct legis-
lation A petition of not less than 10
per cent OF the qualified voters is ne
cessary TO bring a proposed ordin-
anee before the people. The section
OF law covering the initiative and also
the referendum IS mandatory upon the
council and compels the calling Of a
special election upon petition OF the
required number OF voters. The
clause in the plan which provides for
the referendum places in the hands
of the electors power to block any
legislation, with the exception of such
as may be required by state law or the
public safety. If during ten days after
the passage of an ordinance by the
city council, % per cent of the voters
petition to have the matter submitted
TO popular vote, the ordinance will not
go into effect until a majority at a
special election vote in favor of it.
1t is claimed that the Des Moines
plan has attracted almost Worldwide
attention.

GROWING RAILROAD TIES.


In pursuance of its policy to MAIN
tain It's support Of timber for railroad
ties the Pennsylvania railroad has Just
completed the planting of 925,00O
seeding trees. The company has set
out since It took up reforestation and
timber culture couple of years ago
a total OF 2.450.001 trees, During the
present year 100000 seedlings were
imported by the company from Eur
ope and 37b pounds OF hardwood
seeds, besides a large quantity of con-
ifers We're planted in Its own nurs-
cries. Besides reforesting denuded
land. the field operations this year
included the restocking of areas that
had been logged in 1907. While the
objects in view are chiefly unitarian,
the propagation OF ornamental trees
for the Identification of its proper
ties has not been neglected by the
company. The example set by 1t is
conservative numbering and the care
of It's wood lots should he an incen-
tive to intelligent forest development

lists. IL will pay others to grow tim-
Der as well as It pays the company.

undoubtedly is. the citizens will think
twice before authorizing another bond
