With the Continental Sabbath
Has Come Extra LabOrs for
Thousands.

Not 50 long since it was the working
man with the slogan Of personal liberty
on his lips who demanded Sunday for
his recreation, says Mabel Potter Dag
gett in THE DELINEATER for August.
Yes public sentiment said "he's
worked six days; let him enjoy the
seventh. SO there were handed over
to him, seldom legally, but rather by
common consent to his need, the Sun
day saloon and the Sunday ballgame,
and the Sunday excursion and the Sun
day theater. Now witness the anOma-
ly: he brings these privileges back,
urging, Take them away" And 10,
it is the church militant that leads him,
To the ordinary citizen who carries
neither dinner pail nor a Bible, the
paradox demands explanation.
1t was the laboring man who sells the
Sunday cigar and the Sunday drink,
who runs the Sunday train and the
Sunday steamboat and who does the
Sunday vaudeville turn, who first began
to ask the Others where did he get off
in the personal liberty galaxy of pleas
ures? For a while his brothers in other
callings ignored these petulant queries
Of protest. But late they have been
increasing in volume. Larger and
larger have been the numbers ardwn
into the ranks of Sunday labor to make
the holiday of the others.
To take care of the crowds abroad on
Sunday, one industry after another has
been summoned; employees of hotels.
restaurants and eating houses, butch
ers, bakers, confectioners. florists can
dy and popcorn vendors, BARRIERS. drug
gists and small shopkeepers. And since
the community has lost the habit of
providing fof itself in advance on Sat
urday, there are Others-icemen, milk
men, cOalmen and delcatessen dealers
Thus the list widened until so many
Iaborers were employed on Sunday that
1t seemed that few more might as well
be. Then the factory belts began to
turn.
How large do you suppose is become
this army of Sunday laborers in the
United States? In the last ten years
they have increased fifty eight per cent.
atatistics probably haven't counted
them all, but it is known that they are
more than four million. And these are
four million men who want their Sun
day back.

GARDENS OF THE DEAD.
Plan to Make Cemeteries Bright, At
tractive and CHEEKY

Plan to Make Cemeteries Bright, At
tractive and CHEEKY.
In our country cemeteries we see
much that is depressing. The grass is
too frequently unknown, the graves are
conspicuous because Of the mounds,
and the planting of trees and shrubs,
if there are such, is somber and in
harmonious because of individual Sc
lection.
In towns where more careful atten-
ton is given cemetery management the
care is given to a superintendent,
whose business it is to see that the
cemetery is developed in a parklike
manner. No mounds mar the lawn:
the somber aspect is lost because Of
care in selecting and planting trees
and shrubs Of lighter foliage and more
cheerful aspect; harmony is secured be-
cause individual owners Of lots are
not allowed to plant trees or shrubs,
the selection Of species and the group
ing being left to the cemetery super
intendent.
If there be one place more than an
other where the planting should be
bright, attractive and CHEEKY it should
be In our gardens of the dead.

Aids Cities of State to Make
Ordinances.

In order to assist the cities of the
state in framing their ordinances bv
giving them the advantage of informa
ton regarding the best municipal legis
lation throughout the world, the exten-
sion division of the University of
Wisconsin has just established a new
department to be known at the Bureau
of Municipal Reference.
This new department will undertake
to do for the city councils of the state
what the Legislative Reference Depart
ment at the Capitol has been doing for
the state Legislature. Ford H. Mac
Oregon, who has had charge of the
municipal work of the Legislative
Library, has been appointed TO take
charge of the new bureau.

Some Of the older members Of the
Iowa county board Of supervisors are in
favor Of calling the board in session at
an early date, for the election Of a
chairman, and the appointment Of com
mittees, and then adjourning until the
annual session. This plan followed in
Dane and many other counties of the
state; and it works advantageouSly,
as it gives the committee on assessment
and equalization, and other important
committees, an opportunity to have their
reports ready for presentation to the
board on the first day Of the annual
session in November.

Care of Street Trees.

Massachusetts is probably more care
full of her shade trees than any other
state. She not only protects them from
insect pests along the village streets
and in the parks, but she systematical-
ly treats those that are injured. Cavi-
ties are filed to prevent rot from
spreading, and split limbs are brought
back into position by stays and other
methods of treatment. 1t is highly
commendable for municipalities and
organizations to thus look after the
attractive features of forest trees.

Better Roads Needed to Hold Bushes.

The question of improving the road
approaches to Little Falls, N. Y, is Of
vital interest to the towns merchants.
Farmers on all sides of the town COM
plain that the roads to Little Falls,
particularly within the town limits,
are so bad that they would rather
drive miles farther to HerlIimer or
some other market, where prices re-
ccived for their produce is much less,
than rack their wagons and injure their
horses on the bad roads.

Are You headed the road that leads to success?

better will turn up later?
If you doing your employers and yourself an

TWO SETS OF men.
Those Recommended for Kansas
Places by Senators.

Washington, D. &C., Dec. 30.-The
Kansas senators have handed to Pres
ident Taft their recommendations for
the appointment of United States
district alto: ney, collector of internal
revenues and again for the Topeka
pension agency. No agreement was
ments each senator presenting his
own candidates. AS the president is
busy preparing a special message to
congress- he will not announce the
Kansas appointments until the middle
of next week. For the attorneyship.
Senator Bristow has recommended w
L. Higgins of Emporia while Senator
Curtis asks for the reappointment of
Harry j. Bone for the office
Both senators decline to say who
they have reco mmended for the other
two offices. 1t is understood, however,
that Curtis as recommended A w.
Smith of Mcpherson to be pension
agent and State Senator Fremont
Leidy of Butler county for the revenue
collectorship. Mr.. Smith served four
years in the Civil war, nineteen months
of which time he spent in southern
prisons. Leidy has been a staunch
friend of Curtis for many years and
was a state senator.
Kansans here are confident the presi-
dent viii appoint all three men named
by Curtis since Curtis is a strong fac
tor in the regular Republican organiza-
in number of appointments recently
that he would not recognize common
dations of insurgent Republicans. Col.
George Finley, of Topeka who seeks
appointment as collector of internal rev.
enue is still in Washington.

The Talk of New York with Victor
Moore in the leading role drew a large
audience at the Grand last night. The
people who went there were well
pleased with the production for it was a
distinctive novelty in the way of 4
musical comedy, for it had plot, and
strange to say a plot that had con-
tinuity. One would have the impression
that the songs are incidental and that
the play is the thing" whereas with
the usual musical comedy the impress
sion is given that the songs were first
written am the plot made to fit them.
Young Victor Moore was seen-and
heard-for the first time in Topeka and
the impression was good. He is not a
great singer but there are few singing
comedians who are. He fits we'll into
the dash and vim of the Cohan piece
and the other members of the cast arc
quite as well suited to their respective
assignments. The chorus was large
and the costuming and scenery perfect
