Starr, above all high water mark.

looks we'll except some one has
been digging the lowers and
making themselves mt home, yet
the bloom OF the fruit trees will
make it pretty sight, yes it is
good for some eyes to look over
the place, you had better come up
and we will take vacation and
view it all over, our stay was only
over night so we hadn't time to go
over and see after things very
much.

COUNCIL
PROCEEDINGS

Pursuant to recessing from
Tuesday night of last week, the
Village council met on Thursday
night and transacted considerable
business. While the members OF
the council gathered in, the pro
perty owners of Mound street
held a meeting and decided on the
kind of street paving they wanted.
Judge Bright was made chairman
of their meeting and Dwight Ma
thias, secretary. Engineer Gatf
ney had submitted two sets OF
plans to these petitioners, the first
calling for concrete foundation
and first class paving brick, and
the second six inches of gravel and
two inches of sand and good sec.
onds in paving brick, the latter to
cost about $l 90 per foot front.
To the last named plan the petit
tioners subscribed, and also asked
the council to include in the plans
the curbing of the street on both
sides throughout with cement curb.
At the meeting of the council
Clerk Grove was absent and coun-
Gilman Bay was put in as Clerk
for the meeting. Several petitions
were read for street paving. Hill
street paving petition was present
cd, as was also Market street from
Main to Oak Grove Cemetery.
Both were referred to the Street
Committee, with instructions that
they get plans and specifications
prepared and present them at the
next meeting. A petition was al
so presented by Rev. j. Q. tMc-
Laughlin for the paving of an al
ley in East Logan, at the north
extremity of Culver street, The
petition contained only majority
of the footage instead of the two
thirds, and it was returned to the
petitioners for correction to read u
majority of the front footage in
stead of two thirds, and then it
will come up in its turn at the
next meeting. The council ex.
pressed themselves as being favol-
able to the paving of the alley.
Solicitor Whitcraft said that be

Taft and Diau to Meet-Maybe.

Plans to bring about a meeting on the
Texan frontier between Presidents Taft
and Diaz are said TO be under consider
alton in diplomatic circles. II is eau
tiously limited that the meeting is to be
made memorable and the attending GER
emonies elaborate even unto gorgeous
ness.
We supposed we should hear as much
before the Taft administration had pro-
ceeded very far along the road TO glory.
These same plans 70 bring about formal
exchange Of courtesies between the
President Of the United States and the
President OF Mexico have been heard OF
before. We think. probably. they were
first framed up for the benefit Of An
drew Jackson. Ever since then they have
been trotted out al approximately regular
intervals-at least once during every ad-
ministration since then-dusted on, and
proclaimed. always semi-oficially and in
directly, but more or less enthusiastic
ally.
We should think it might be a good
idea for some administration to bring
the scheme to a head II would be quite
an interesting event. certainly harmless.
and il would ser"e TO vary pleasantly

Of neither republic depends upon fl. Mr.
Taft could not. in the nature OF things,

suggestion calculated TO startle the uni

even though It be the 'steenth time. Like
the immortal Bards, Gen. Diaz Is willing.
If not anxious His best bib and tucker
would be none too fine 10 don for Mr..
Tafts benefit.
We hope Mr.. Taft Will be there when
the signal 70 get together is sounded.
Gen Diaz is getting TO be an old man.
This particularly dazzling prospect has
been dangled before his eyes for many
weary years. Long has he hoped. and
IN vain. He never is. but always 10 be
blessed in this specific wise. We venture
to add our hopes 10 his this time May
his dream come true without more ado.

Why Is the TramDs

What ara the causes OF vagrancy? tt
were vain to ask the vagrants Rarely
could one Of them anaIyze the causes of
his homeless wandering. What is the
remedy? Again the subject OF inquiry is
incompetent 10 give answer. A sociolo-
gist- Mr. Triplett, has been investigating
the causes and seeking a remedy. but
with conclusions that are not definite.
With praiseworthy diligence. this INQUIRER
interviewed more than 5000 out OF 1900
Of these voluntary guests They were
all homeless, a fact perhaps not surpris-
ing. Nor was It astonishing that AZ
some period all had been successful wage

the chief cause OF their loss OF employ

Of them liked the vagrant life, and pre-

some Of them refused employment when

1t would be interesting to know what
lay behind these refusaIs. Perhaps the
proposed jobs were not suited to tenn
peraments both artistic and Ieisurely;
perhaps the wage-scale did not satisfy
the wanderers estimate Of their per-
sonal worth. It IS possible that the sense
Of adventure had impaired its uncertain
joys 10 the imagination of some of these
tramps. They may in days more pros

There must have been some mental back

Vagrancy is now classed legally as a
misdemeanor in all of the States. But
the punishment is made 10 nj the crime
so exactly that its hold upon the victim
is only strengthened. Not reformation,
but its opposite, results, with graduation
into the ranks Of the incorrigible. The
study Of tramp life has yielded some
picturesque literary results. but the ef-
fort to gather statistics seems inconclu-
