Her Proposals.

Talking of the Baroness Burdett-
Coutts, Lord Houghton said: "Miss
Coutts likes me because never pro-
posed to her. Almost all the young
men Of good family did. Those who
did their duty by their family always
did. Mrs. Browne (Miss Couttts' COM
panion) used to see 1t coming and took
herself out Of the way for ten minutes,
but she only went into the next room
and left the door open, and then the
proposal took place, and Immediately
it was done Miss Coutts coughed, and
Mrs. Browne came in again" Angus

was stated that enormous gains had

time 10l, $50 acres had been pledged
and 94,8l3 acres remained outside. An

Civic Identification.

A notable gathering of artists, land
scape gardeners and architects in
Washington has been discussing civic
Identification. In no n thing is the
United States so far behind Europe.
Even South and Central American
cities are far in advance of us in this
respect. Europe has the advantage of
the art accumulation of ages, but no
such reason favors South America.
The growth of the United States has
been so prodigous along unitarian
and material lines that too little atten-
ton has been paid to public adorn-
ment, and ever our few efforts usually
look out of place with their surround
ings.
A great opportunity is presented to
us now for a reversal of past methods.
Our cities have reached a period Of
their development at which they can
we'll afford to pay attention to the
artistic. Under our system of popular
government there will always be diff
culties encountered that others do not
have to- contend with. Berlin, Paris
and other cities of Europe, and even
South America, have been made artis-
tic not alone by civic Identification,
but by public regulation of private
building such as would not be possible
here. No attempt has been made In
the United States to restrict building
further than to protect surrounding
property from fire and other hazards
INTELLECTUALLY the builder has been
left free to follow his own fancy, with
the result that a sad incongruity in the
groupings of ever our finest buildings
often offends every artistic sense.
Much can be done to cure the evil
through the medium of education. AS
it must necessarily be a slow process,
the present Is none too soon for a be-
ginning. Our municipal, state and
general governments can further the
movement by setting good examples
and furnishing object lessons for ind
vidual enterprise that will hasten the
desired achievement.

Rich Heritage for Schools.

South Dakota authorities can fore
cast the time in the near future when
all the money necessary for the con
duct of the schools Of the state will
be had from the school endowment
funds without the levying OF a tax
upon the people. The money will
come from rentals of unsold school
lands and interest on invested funds
derived from the sale of school lands.
South Dakota has followed the policy
of selling school lands only in portions
of the state in which they have
reached their approximate final values,
those in the newer portions being re-
tanned and leased. The result has
been the maximum of money for the
schools without materially checking
the growth of the state by keeping
lands off the market really demanded
for cultivation.
South Dakota, being settled later,
profted by the early mistakes of Kan
sas, Nebraska and other states, which
in the early day sold their school lands
in the then settled sections at low fg-
ures, because no one was farseeing
enough in that day to conceive that
the immense public domain would
soon be exhausted and that farm lands
would by this time be worth from $50
to 500 per acre. When the light
dawned Nebraska took its remaining
lands off the market, thereby largely
increasing it's permanent school fund
until the income now produces APP
proximately $4,000 900 yearly for our
public schools.
1t is doubtful if the men who
framed the law setting aside for the
schools sections sixteen and thirty-six
in each township of the public domain
dreamed of the immense heritage they
were ~bequeathing the children of the
country. No such magnificent endow-
ment to education has ever been given
since the world began, and the west
is showing it's appreciation by a most
liberal support for the public schools,
the per capita expenditures for educa-
ton being far in excess of the older
states with the resultant low ratio OF
i~lliteracy. What this generous policy
has wrought cannot be computed and
its future usefulness can only be
guessed at.

Present Day Gambling.

A recent church convention passed
resolutions d~eprecating the increase OF
the gambling spirit alleged to have
taken possession of the present-day
people. No student of either morals
or of sociology will take issue with the
churchmen as to gambling being an
evil, but thoughtful observers will not
agree that it is peculiarly a present.
day vice or hat it is on the increase.
Like other diversions, m~odern-day
gambling undoubtedly is INDUCED in
on a spectacular scale at times, but the
assertion that the habit is universal is
c~ontradicted by the many and stringent
legal restrictions enforced against It,.
The localities where gambling in the
strict sense can still be publicly con-
Quoted are so few as to be notorious.
The last refuge of open betting in this
country was the race track, and this
has been outlawed almost everywhere.
The time was, and not so far in the
past, when gambling was considered
On0 Oh the pOlllO pdStihiSS VI al
classes, and almost as universal with
the business man as with the laborer.
A careful search of history reveals that
the stern virtues of our fo~refathers"
required many notable exceptions.
The trouble with the resolutions in
question is that they speak with the
best of intentions, but from inadequate
information. The protest is aimed at
the immense activities of the boards of
trade and similar organizations, many
of whose transactions are gambling
pure and simple. But how to sepa-
rate the two is the battling problem
yet awaiting solution. The number of
people who engage in this class of OPP
erations is large in the aggregate, but
for all that are only a fraction of the
total population. Conceding that the
gambling spirit is involved in many
business transactions, the charge that
1t is growing and spreading is alto
| gether lacking of confirmation, while
all the signs of the times point pre-
cisely in the opposite direction.

Internationalism.

Few people. even the best posted,
realize the extent to which the spirit
of internationalism has already devel-
oped in different lines of human ac-
tivity. International organizations
have been formed to secure co-opera-
tive action in numerous fields of en-
deavor that are of worldwide scope.
In an article on international
Unions" contributed to the current
number of The Independent, by Prof.
Paul S. Reinsch of the University of
Wisconsin, the statement is made that
during the year 1907, alone, over 100
international congresses of various
kinds were held. In the single field
Of sanitation and medicine there are
at least twenty separate international
organizations. In addition to the\pri-
vate organizations with international
membership the government of the
different countries have also given au-
th~oritative sanction to a large number
of international unions. whose meet

Among the international o~rganiza-
lions having to do with transportation
and communication Prof. Reinsch anu
merates the International Telegraph
Bureau, which regulates the inter-
change of telegraph service over the
world; the Universal Postal union,
whose Jurisdiction extends over for

Union of Railway Freight Transporta-

between continental countries; the In

side OF railway transportation, and the
international Maritime committee, COW
ering the same field for ocean naviga-
ton.
There is an international body en-
d~eavoring to secure uniformity of
weights and measures throughout the
world and an international organiza-
ton for protection of patents and copy

unions are international in their oper-

SERMONS BOILED DOWN.

Tact without owe is only a form of d.

Men who give up nothing give up every
thing.
Only the doctrines that make deeds are
worth working over.
There is no blessing to any bread until

Preaching dietetics is always the forte of
those who are out of bread.
Too many think their hearts are uplifted
because their heads feel light.
The most desolate lives are those that
are lived for life's furniture only.
The child who gives all gives more than
the richest who gives only a part.
When a man really gets a truth he ceases
to be afraid either of hell or heaven.
Many a man feels that his endorsement
of a religion gives it its pre-eminence.
It's better being a handcar on the right
road than a private one an the wrong.
Putting the divine names in caps and
man in nonpareil does not make the world
any better. g
1t were better to suffer from eternal
justice than to enjoy amending bliss on a
crooked deal.
The wisdom of the world has always
come from the people who did not fear
being called fools.
They who think there is only one road
to heaven usually want to put a toll gate
at their station.-Chicago Tribune.

Good Advice from Jim Hill.

Our old friend. James ]. Hill, has
been giving out some more good ad-
vice. In a recent interview he declares,
Don't worry, the country is all right
and travelling right along on the high
road to prosperity. Quit grumbling
and hustle" While Mr.. Hill has not
always eliminated g%rumbling from his
repertoire, the habit has never been
chronic with him. but the hustling
habit has. So persistently has he fol-
lowed the prescription that in his adj
vanced age he is under no necessity
of worrying about the price of his
lodgings or the certainty of being able
to procure a meal.
Mr.. Hill also gives out this hint to
the timid ones who say wait: Some
people out in the country think these
fellows down here in Washington al
put anything on the statute books,
even 4 law to cure a fractured limb
or insuring their places against loss.
Some of us know better" He then
proceeds to point out the strong fea-
lures of the present industrial situa-
ton and urges all to put their Shout
ders to the wheel and push. No man
in the United States is a more careful
student of the trade conditions and
resources of the country than Mr.. Hill.
He is emphasizing his w faith in
their basic soundness by pushing for
ward railroad enterprises, which were
held up by the financial stress of 1907,
in a most energetic manner. Others
similarly possessing accurate informa-
ton are doing the same and it is time
for the b~lue-goggled critics to quiet
down and the timid ones to take heart.
Those who refuse to get into the band
wagon now are likely to find it several
laps ahead of them when they con-
clude to ride. There are no free
passes, but the fare is reasonable and
the wager will reach its destination in
due time.

Pinching a Paper Trust.
Springfield Republican.

The latest paper combination to suffer
from federal prosecution under the Sher-
nan act is the association of fiber and
manila paper makers. II they had incor-
porated as a single~legal entity they might
nave Jared better; as 1t is they meet ex-
actly the same judgment passed upon that
price and selling association of western
papermakers two or three years ago. The
Sherman law has proved pretty effective
against these informal industrial combi-
nations. as witness also the early Addy-
stone pipe case; but against incorporated
combinations, which are too numerous to
be mentioned, it continues to amount to
nothing. nor can it be made to now with
out a tremendous industrial upsetting.

An official review of the gains made
in the campaign against the saloon in
cludes the Nebraska s O'Clock closing
law. That hardly fits in with Gov
ernor Shallenberger's explanation that
he gave his approval to the measure
in the interest of the liquor trafic.
From this review it appears that the
daylight saloon experiment is being
tried in this form in no other state
but Nebraska, and it will remain to
be seer whether it begets imitators in
any of the states which have legis-
lative sessions next year.
