A Beautiful City

Eugene {. Gardner, architect
and writer of ESSAYS OH building
homes, school houses and churches
read a paper the other day before a
club Of Springfield, Mass, i'll
which he made a number OF telling
points as applicable to any other
city as Springfield. His partic-
ular theme was how to make
Springfield the most beautiful city.
When new buildings are to be
erected or important alterations
made the owners. instead of jeal-
eusly concealing their intentions
as to style, color and material
should confer with their neighbors
in order to avoid the glazing in
congruitles and violent contrasts so
prevalent and fatal to good GER
eral effect.
Frequent examples of glazing
incongruities are found in the
fronts of business buildings which
Mr.. Gardner speaks of As fantas-
tic freaks in color and in design. =
He says our eyes are affected By
this about as our ears would be if
the vendors of musical instruments
should line up on the sidewalks
blowing their horns and hddling
their fiddles all at once, regardless
of time or tune. Paris has high
rank as a city of retail trade and in
Paris the turning of the shops
wrongside out, to the utter confu-
sion of street architecture, is almost
unknown. y
The erection of municipal build
ings that do not increase the beauty
or dignity of the city is public
robbery nd perennial affront. >
Mr.. Gardner speaks with discour-
agement of the efforts to prevent
crowding houses together on mar
row lots. He observes: Prob
ably the grave evil of small lots
and the consequent crowding of
dwellings until most householders
i'll the city are dangerously near
their neighbors woodpies and
pantry windows; will exist until
we are able to reach any point
within five miles of the postoffice
at the rate of mile minute, in
Guiding stops.

He might have remarked OH the
tendency to crowd homes on mar
row lots even III residence districts
with acre upon acre of unocCupied
land between them and the bust
ness district.
Any city has beauty spots but
unity of purpose is necessary for a
beautiful city. Mr.. Gardner as
serts that the dollars and cents
value of beautiful city is too OBJ
vious to be argued. 1t is axioma-
tic. No person has a moral right
to impare the value of adjacent
real estate, impede the free move
nent of legitimate traffic in the
streets or imperil sanitary condi-
tons, and Mr. Gardner submits
that i'll civilized communities moral
rights ultimately become legal
ones,
In the last century Mr.. Gardner
made prediction that somewhere
at the beginning of the present
century there would be the most
beautiful city that the sun shines
on. His concention of such city
was expressed thus: 1t will have
the best government, to which
other cities will come to learn wis
dom the best schools, the cleauest

ton is mostly republican. Bryan
carried the state in 1896 by about
y, 900 and lost it in 1900 by about
the same figure, but i'll 1908 he is
defeated by a plurality of ~ 90.

pora,ed industry, that something less
than its rights would be granted it in
court and something more than it's re-
serts melted out to it in the way OF
punishment. The fine was a factor,
and no small one, in the progressive

Herald-"To those who followed the
arguments upon the appeal it is not
much a matter of surprise that the
United States circuit court of appeals
should have reversed Judge Landis in
his decision assessing a punitive fine
of $29,240.O00 against the Standard Oil
company of Indiana on the rebate cases.
That the decision of the appellant
bench is unanimous in this is a matter
for congratulation. 1t rather will bear
out the public verdict in the first
instance, which was that, however un-
popular the Standard Oil company may
be and whatever it's offense, Judge
Lands in the amount of the exemplary
fine had been unduly severe. The
Standard Oil company is entitled to
simple justice as is every corporate or
individual, no more, no less"

GERMANY NAVAL CRUISE.

The United States is sending around
the world the greatest fleet that ever
undertook anything like SO long a
voyage. 1t is not unexpected nor inap-
propriate that Germany, the friendly
rival of America for second place in
naval power, likewise sends forth a
great fleet on a long voyage. Its precise
composition is not made known, but
we are told that it will comprise six
teen battleships-the same number
that our own fleet in the Pacific COM
prises-three armored cruisers, six
cruisers two tenders and lot of tor
pedo beats. There are twentyfour
battleships listed in the German ma
Wy, so that eight will be left at home
or elsewhere Five of them are fifteen
or more years old and are thus some
what out of date. and we may assume
that they will be among those omitted
from the cruise. There are eight arm
ored cruisers on the list, of which
only three are to go on this voyage
and of course only a small proportion
of vessels of other classes will be
drafted
The cruise is therefore emphatically
a battleship cruise. 1t will be only
about one-tenth as long as the voyage
Of our own fleet. and yet it will be
little short of equivalent to a round
trip across the Atlantic From Bruins
buettel to the Azores Is more than 1900
miles; from the Azores to the Canaries
and home again is nearly 1000 miles.
Thus the ships will travel not far from
5000 sea miles, all either on the high
seas or in alien waters, and with no
home base nearer than the starting
point. Such performance can scarcely
fail to be of value for the purpose de-
signed, namely, 1.-The training and
schooling of officers and men,
We have heard no hint from any
source that the cruise is in any sense

other treatments, all with the same
result: no improvement at all. The
disease gradually spread until nearly
every part Of his body was quite raw.
We had to strap him down in bed, for
he used to tear himself dreadfully in
his sleep. The agony he went through
is quite beyond words. No one thought
we would rear him. The regimental
doctor, a very clever man, pronounced
the case hopeless; at least, he said the
lived long enough, outgrow|it to some
extent. We had him in hospitals four
times and he was pronounced one Of
the worst cases, if not the worst, ever
admitted. From each he was dis
charged as incurable; in fact he got
worse under the successive treatments.
At one hospital they incased him in
plaster, and this seemed to aggravate
the soreness terribly. He looked so
badly that no one liked to 60 near him
and his life was a burden to him. We
kept trying remedy after remedy, but
we had got almost past hoping for 9
cure. Six months ago we purchased
a set Of Cuticura Soap, Ointment, and

and to-day he is perfectly cured. his skin

is the depositors, rather than The
banks. who are clamoring for protect
ion. Mr.. Taft voices his opposition TO
the proposition to make "all banks
equally good"
Regarding the direct election oil
United States senator's and the physi-
cal valuation of railroads, both or
which propositions were emphaticaliy
turned down by the convention which
honored him.. Mr.. Taft trims his sails
to the popular breeze in tenfa,i e en-
dorsement. although he disclaims that
either of these propositions can be con-
sidered as party policies.
Judicial temperament and political
expediency have their hardest en-
counter in the discussion of the matter
of iniunctions After carefully re-
citing the present statutory and COM
mon law on the subject of injunctions,
the candidate loudly proclaims the fact
that the republican party insists that,
in most cases. there shall be notice 10
the adverse party before an injunc-
ton is issued, while the democratic
platform, which opposes the use of the
writ of injunction in industrial dis
hn1
tice. In such an utterance as this by
a candidate for the highest office in
the world. the calm judge is complete
ly lost in the tricky politician
Although his party in convention as
sembled, emphatically repudiated a
plank providing for publicity of cam
paign contributions, the candidate,
again trimming to the wind, states that
if elected he will urge upon congress
the necessity of passing such a law,
and takes occasion to mention the fact
that his present campaign committee
will publish a list of all contributions
within twenv days after election.
Mr. Tafts subserviency to 1.-The in
terests" is openly shown in his open
advocacy of the vicious ship subsidy,
and his repetition of the promise of the
republican platform to so revise the
tariff-immediat after election-as
. ITO insure a reasonable profit to Ameri-
can industries"
Reading the speech carefully, one is
inclined to think that the newspaper
correspondents told the truth when
they said that, after reviewing the
rough draft of the speech, President
Roosevelt made but few suggestions
1t would be hard to believe that the
virile Roosevelt, whose ear is so acute
ly attuned to the .rumbling of the pop
ulace," had very much to do with this
latest addition to the country's politi-
cal history. Apparently, President
stand on it's own bottom and is will
ing that Mr. Taft shall make his own
campaign.
No better campaign argument can
be made than by the liberal circulation
of this speech of the opposing candi-
date, and if the speech is read by
enough thoughtful Americans there is
little fear that the country will take
seriously the rather laughable asser-
ton that TO elect Mr.. Taft president
viii be ito continue the Roosevelt poll
cies of progress and regulation or
that 1.-The attitude of the democratic
party under it's present leadership is
t. change for the sake of change, to
the point of irresponsible destruction"

restoration of prosperity in return
