KEEPING THE CITIZENS POSTED.

In most cities the well informed cit izens upon the city's business are the exception, not the rule; and in. most cities the element that runs things do not care to have the citizens know too much. An exception to this rule is Rutland, Vt, city in which a munich pal register is printed for circulation among the voters This little book gives at a glance the names and terms of office of all men who have served the city as aldermen, school commits sioners and in other city office, since the city was established. An interest ing table is that which shows the num- Der of taxable polls, amount of real and personal property. the grand list and the tax rate of the city for each year since 1893. The tabulated vote in the city for mayor since 1893, and the similar tabulated vote on the question of liquor licenses each year since 1903, both tables being by wards, furnishes information that citizens will wish to preserve.
 Such a little work of reference as this should be in as much demand as city directory and ought to be ten times as useful, because it tells a man how the welfare of the city is being looked after and informs him when it is necessary to call in new admin istration.

WHERE TO TEST A MINISTER.

John D. Rockefeller announced in Cleveland on Sunday that the place to test minister is on golf course not his scholarship, but his patience, endurance of spirit. He is quoted as having said to the Sunday school he attended Sunday:
 T have known great many minis ters in my time; some of them were not reliable, but I have never heard anything from Biting that gave me the least idea he is not reliable. One of the best places to test a minister is a golf course. Even the best of them often lose their patience there. So I am going to give Dr. Biting my final test tomorrow. I'm going to in- vite him to a game of golf If he stands that test as well as those many others he has stood in the last forty years I shall consider him wellnigh perfect"
 This makes it appear as if Mir. Rock efeller regards golf as good enough for Sunday practice. If the game is a test for ministers it must also ge a good test for piety, and game of that sort is just as good for Sunday use as a religious mott" Perbans crouuet or tennis or baseball might be just as 'cndDie a fest.

The public will be glad to learn that seventy-five per cent of the mo-

And it is announced that the principal manufacturers of the pictures and the principal exhibitors are in alliance with this censorship, submitting their pictures for approval before putting them out
