Concrete itself is, of course, very
old. The concrete stairs of Colches-

the marks of the encasing boards;
the dome of Agrippa's Pantheon,
which is 142 feet in diameter, is of
concrete; and fragments Of concrete
buildings are found in Mexico and

The Boston Herald points out that
the experience of Des Moines, CAL
weston, Houston, Haverhill and other
commission plan of municipal gov
eminent, suggests that the disinclin-
alton of men Of the most desirable
class to become candidates for pub
lie office arises more from the en-
vironment that is imposed upon them
under the political system of NUM-
cipal administration than from any
natural repugnance to service in
public capacity. British and other
European cities, free from the DOM
ination of political bosses, are able
to command the highest talent for
the administering of their affairs,
and the commission cities of the Uni
ted States are having like experience.
The fact is, of course, as the Herald
dscloses, that the presence of the
political boss and the service of the
most desirable citizens in public Of
flee are incompatible. They repre-
ScuI clSllSuI tudl Will uOI HllA. by
admitting the boss and through him
the sordid things for which he
stands, American cities have driven
the most desirable classes of their
citizens into private pursuits.
Where the boss holds sway, there
will the personnel of the public SER
vice be made up of the least desirable
elements of the community. The
commission plan of government Of
fers the way to call the desirable
elements back to the discharge of
public duty.

The anthracite coal miners refuse
to renew the agreement of few
years ago, brought about by the in
tervention of President Roosevelt,
and which was then regarded as es-
pecia1ly favorable to the miners.
The miners won out before chiefly
because the sympathy of the country
was with them. This time if they
fail to renew an agreement they
then recognized as a liberal one,
their chances for the public sympa-
thy will be slim.

Iowa is entitled to congratula-
tions. With every inducement to
resort to mob law and summarily ex-
ecute the negro brute who robbed
and murdered Miss Rosen, the OF
tumwa choir singer, the mob was
frustrated by the cool-headedness Of
the authorities, and there is now
every probability that the negro will
be dealt with according to law in
stead of defiance thereto. All of
which indicates that Iowa is triflc
superior to Louisiana, or else that
its officers are less in sympathy with
mob violence.

Booker r. Washington has been
appointed one of the commission of
two to go to Liberia and investigate
conditions and recommend reforms
in the administration of the affairs
of the negro African republic. AS
the greatest negro living and prob
ably the best friend of his race it to-
day possesses, the appointment of
the great educator on the committee
is especially fitting.

An extraordinary demand has arts
en- in the eastern counties of Eng
land for second hand bibles-the old
or and dirtier the better. Copies
which formerly realized four pence
are now readily bought for half a
crown. They are being used to
manufacture evidence of age in the
case of old-age pensions. A woman
who produced bible to prove her

Missourians in New York City
have started to raise funds with
which to defray the expenses of an
annual fair in Madison Square Gar
den to advertise their native state
and adequately set forth it's resour-
ces. 1t is believed that an annual
fair of the kind proposed would re-
suit in the rapid increase of the
states population and lead to the de-
velopment of vast districts that have
hardly been touched. The legisla-
ture of the state has been asked to
help the project with an appropri-
alton of $4,000.

The recall has vindicated itself
in one American city. Mere provi-
sion for its use as made in the char
ter of the city of Los Angeles has
been sufficient to drive from office
a corrupt mayor. When Arthur c..
Harper was elected mayor of the city
he expected to serve out his term Of
two years. But he gave himself up
to the control of the vicious element
of the municipality, and the scandal
of his administration became SO very
great that petitions were circulated
under the recall provisions of the
city charter for the holding of an
election to GUST him. Ten thousand
citizens affixed their names to the Pc
titions and a recall election was set
for March &c. Harper declared he
would be a candidate at the election
for endorsement, but he has quit
under fire. His formal resignation
of his Office has been submitted. Ii
the recall were in general use, there
would probably be fewer corrupt
and negligent officials hampering
| government. 1t is a device that
should come into general use.

a Scotch tanner pointed out that UNI
less the British manufacturer Of
footwear should soon We given the
protection of tariff tax on imports
of boots and shoes, the American
manufacturer would soon drive him
out of the British market. And yet
there are persons who will claim that
the United States should impose a
tax on footwear in the interests of
the American workingmen. The
conditions in the boot and shoe trade
are not unlike the conditions in
many other lines of American in
dustry. We are able as to. many
classes of goods to undersell the
foreigner in his own market, yet the
looters still raise the cry for duties
and plead that they are acting in the
interest of American labor.

he was kept busy jumping here and

closely in touch with the details of
every bit of work entrusted to him.
He was no mere figurehead secretary
He was not in the cabinet merely
that he might have official place and
enjoy the honors that are paid the
cabinet officers. He was a working
secretary, and to use bit of slang,

this fact is due the excellence of the

With the understanding arrived
at between the arrangements of the
South Dakota and the Sioux City
fairs, the last obstacle to the best
fair the state fair has ever had APP
pears to have been removed. The
Sioux City fair will be held on a
different date from the South Dakota
state fair, and the two institutions
will cooperate instead of fighting.
The result should be satisfactory in
every way. Every South Dakotan
should be interested in the success
of the state fair at Huron, and every
county in the state should possess
sufficient county pride to make a
creditable showing at the fair at HUI
ron.

An Ipswich paper, mentioning the
death OF a pioneer of Edmunds coun-
ty, states that the first thing he did
after locating on homestead in
that county, was to plant a grove of
trees. That is pretty good testi-
monial to the dead mans qualities
as a citizen Of the state. The man
who is so thoughtful Of future gem
erations as to plant trees in COM
paratively treeless state like South
Dakota, Is of untold benefit to the
commonwealth. 1t takes couraga
and faith and perseverance to plant
trees and keep them growing, but
the man who does so is rewarded in
after years, and in the grateful mem
DRY of succeeding generations.

An interesting experiment has
been tried in road making in Flor
da. Two ridges of earth were thrown
up on a public highway by an ordin-
airy road machine at required dis
lance apart. The space between was
filled with sawdust. Then smaller
machine was used to mix the saw
dust with the earth beneath it, The
resulting roadbed was rolled and it
was found that the heaviest loaded
wagons made no impression upon it.
The average cost of such a road in
the county where the experiment
was tried is about $500 per mile. To
those who will say that the sawdnst
is not Il durable material the reply
can be made that the Florida eXper-
iment is in the line with one made in
Georgia twenty years ago and the
roads then constructed are still in
use and in excellent order. Possibly
the nature of the soil that is mixed
with the Sawdust has something to
do with determining whether the re-
sulting roadway will wear or not. In
the Florida county the soil is clayey.

At the next general election the
people will have six different consti-
tutional amendments submitted to
them for their votes, two Of which
were submitted in different form at
the election last year, and both Of
which were defeated. One of these
proposes to amend the provisions of
the constitution In regard to leas-
ing state school lands, for agricul-
tural as we'll as grazing and hay pur-
poses. Another proposes an increase
in the salary Of the attorney general,
but not at fixed sum by the legis-
lature. Another is the equal suf-
frage amendment, which resolution
was the cause OF considerable polit-
ical manipulation before It was final
ly ground through after several fail
ures. Another amends that part of
the constitution in regard to public
indebtedness 80 as to allow tndepend-
ent school districts to increase their
limit Of Indebtedness for the pur-
pose Of erecting buildings. Another
requires the question of establish
Ing any new state institutions to be
submitted to vote of the people be-
fore any further such institutions
can be established. The sixth is to
a large extent along the lines Of the
general tax amendment offered at
the last session. While it follows
Same NJ the lines It is quite different
In others. It makes no change OF
the present constitutional provision
An regard to the limit OF indebted
ness. But 1t adds to the property ev-
empt from taxation parsonages and
residences OF heads Of denomination
al schools. It provides specially for
inheritance taxes, for income taxes,
and for the taxation Of franchises
and licenses. Besides these consti-
tutional amendments the question Of
county local option will again be sub

likely that several of the enactments
of the session will also be placed be-
for the people through the referen-
dun before the time Of such action
has passed, but it is yet early to To-
cate just what moves will be made in

American comedy with the locale sit uated in the mill district of Rhode Island deaiing with an inventor who became involved in financial difficult ties.
 In aa hullucination during the per
 oG of despair after listening to his daughter read the story of Faust and McmphtstopheIes' and in his loneli- ness calling in solloquy on tie 'deHil' to appear, he is confirmed in the belief that q wealth ymanufacturer calling upon him at the moment is actually his Satanic Majesty in dis &ulSe.
 The comedy in spite of the srotes- queness of that especial scene is Wov ell from start to finish with d perfect naturalness that holds the spectator with concentrated attention and throughout the play the audience is
 convulsed with hysterical laughter that is a sure cure for depressed spirits.
