Every progressive citizen of Pales-

Ihat is the proposition in a nut shell.
Tho city government is a corporation
and every tax-paying citizen is a
stakeholder and has right to say
how he wants his business managed.
Under our present form of government
nobody in particular is giving the af-
fatyS the close attention they demand,
because nobody is paid to do SO
Under the new form we would have a
paid business management and could
demand that affairs be given atten-
ton. AS to the relative cost of the
new form of government the advan-
tags would undoubtedly be in its
favor. Economical management and
the appointiye power of the commits
Biun would save the city many dol
lars and possibly improve the public
service at the same time. 1t is a
matter worthy of your close study,
and you should canvass the situation
carefully before making up your mind

believes in the commission form and
believes it has any number of good
points to recommend it. An election
on this question will be held On the

Against Congestion of Immigrants.

New York people are addressing them
selves in earnest to the task of Undue
ing and assisting immigrants to follow
Horace Greeley's advice and go West. y
The address of Jacob III. Schiff, at the
Jewish Chautauqua assembly at Buffalo
was on this line. As a banker his prac-
teal Judgment should be worth needing.
As a philanthropist he has given ample
evidence of sincere interest in the we'll
being of those whom he intended 10 in
fuence by his remarks. Il am con-
vinced," said Mr.. Schiff, that the
United States can yet receive n very
considerable part of the Jewish immigra-
ton from the Slavic countries. But the
responsibility which accrues to us is
very great. Unless we find an effective
way to defect the stream of immigration
from New York City the congestion al
ready existing is certain to grow, and
it may become a menace to the status
of the jew throughout the country"
The Italians. like the Russian Jews,
constitute a large element in the teeming
population of New York's East Side.
To open their eyes TO the advantage of
going West the Committee on Congestion
of Population in New York. recently or
ganized, has been holding an exhibition
whose avowed object is to show that
Italians cannot live decently on small
wages in New York city and may do
much better by establishing themselves
elsewhere.
This work is practical philanthropy

Directors of Corporations.

From the recently issued DIRECTORY of
Directors" published in New York, it
appears that w. II. Newman still leads
the list as a member of more boards of
directors than any other man in the
United States, though he has dropped
seven positions of the sort since two
years ago. His connection with the New
York Central and its numerous subSidi-
airy companies is what gives him his
high rank. The second highest man on
the list is a former Milwaukeean, f.
y. Underwood, executive head of the
Erie system, who is now a director in
five more companies than two years ago.
Chauncey NJ. Depew, who was a director
in seventysiX corporations in 1901, is
now in only fifty-seyen-pe perhaps because
his senatorial responsibilities and advanc
ing years admonish him to decrease his
cares. John ID. Rockefeller Is a director
in only one company-the Standard Oil.

Post. shows the number of directorates

Music and Popular Education.

Andrew Carnegie, who conceived the
plan of being awakened every morning at
SkibO by the deep tones of a magnificent
organ which is part of the equipment of
that splendid residence, includes music
with books as a means of culture; but
his only large undertaking to promote
facilities for bringing the public under
the influence of music has been in the
direction of giving organs to churches
that wanted them and would agree to
certain conditions by which their main
tenance should be assured.
An English philanthropist, Aid. Jo-
seph Beecham of London, has gone fur

The opera might undoubtedly be made
an important addition to those factors
of existence in great cities which contrib
uute to the joy of living. There are indl
cations that it will be made so in the
near future, and that business enterprise
will compete with benevolence in bring
ing the consummation to pass. The idea
of Manager HammerStein that the prlce

that he can give an educational character

AN OLD SONG BROUGHT TO DATE.

When first i saw sweet Peggy
1t was on heavenly day;
On an aeroplane she rode, and skinned
Along the Milky Way.
And when that Way was decked with stars
And planets of all grades,
For beauty fair and brightness rare
She could give 'em cards and spades:
As she sat in her aeropane
And sailed over land and main;
Sure the clouds swept by
At the glance of her eye
As she sat in her aeroplane.
Now Peggy orders breakfast
Quite prompt at 10 a. m.
And soon she sees the hills and trees
Fade to yerdant hem.
Twas breakfast at Manhattan Isle,
And lunch in London town.
SO she doesn't care for she dimes where'er
She chooses to drop down.
As she sits in her aeroplane
1t Is supper, perhaps, In Spain.
She finds bushels of mirth
In skies and earth
As she sits in her aeroplane.
Sweet Peggy round her plane, sirs,
Has lovers, on my word.
With blarneyed smile they try to beguile
This charming, feeting bird;
But the lovely aviator turns
Around with queenly grace,
And, without fear, grasps her steering
gear,
lheh whirls along through space,
As she sits in her aeroplane,
Sure lovers might plead in vain,
And she speeds along
With a Tilt of a song,
As she sits in her aerOplane.
I'd rather own that aero
With Peggy on the Job
Than all the land from Siberia's strand
TO Killarney's Lakes, begob.
If my spare cash could invest
In clOudland real estate,
What miles I'd buy of the sapphire sky
To coax her to tell my fate.
Then we'd drop from that aeroplane,
Wed be married by Father Spillane,
And, the wedding Ger
We would soar once more
In that heavenly aerOplane.

OLD QUAKER MEETING HOUSE
Its Simple, Severe Architecture-Pews
and Division Shutters,

One of the oldest Quaker meerip,
houses in New Hampshire stands s.,
Unity township, a remembrance IF the.
little colony of Friends who lived 40
West Unity in the early part of the last
century.
The building with its single story ami
low attic is as simple and severe in ne
architecture as the Quaker meeting"
itself in its form of worship.
A few years ago there were vet a
number of the old Friends who stir
wOrshiped twice every week in the GttIe
ediice, taking their pews each time
according to their goodness" and w9it
ing in the solemn silence after the man
ner of the orthodox Quaker till the
spirit moved to prayer or exhortation
Since that time these few remaining
members of the faith have died. Today
Unity has taken upon itself the preSer-
walton of the building as a matter Of
public good and it has been kept in re-
pair by the townspeople.
The meeting house was built in 1890
New Hampshire winters have left the
mark upon the exterior of the little
building. However, the exterior is rbe
only part of the structure that has need
ed repairing. Inside the Eastwood pews
are as white and clean as they were
seventy-hye years ago and the walls
and ceiling are as spotless as when thew
looked down upon the first silent gather
ing of Friends.
After the manner of all Quaker meet,
ing houses the interior is divided into
two sections, between which are shut
terlike doors that can be lowered to form
partition between the mems section
and the women's. Often the cold wealth
er made it imperative but that one sec
ton should be used and on the very
wintry evenings the meetings were hello
on the side where a large wood stove
had been installed.
There are twelve pews on each side.
There are also three rows of raised seats
where the "old and wise in faith" had
their regular places. The front rows Of
the twelve on either side were occupied
by those who had the best record for
piety and goodness. The backsliders-
went to the rear seats and had to- work
their way up to the front by daily watch
fulness and prayer.
The burial ground itself is as severe
as the meeting houses and as quaint. A
few of the later graves are marked with
marble slabs. but as even these were for
hidden by the earlier church the greater
number of the headstones are the crude
blocks. All are placed to the north of
the graves after the Quaker custom
