THE CIVIC LEAGUE.

| Nope find fault with cemetery as
sociations the object of which is te
beautify and care for the cities of the
dead. When the Women's City Beau
tiful Society organizes no outcry fol-
lows. A Clean Up League for the pur-
pose Of inspecting alleys and driving
out filth is commended But the Citi-
zenS' Civic League organized as a poll
robustness proposition treads on
corns the instant it stands afoot and
casts an inQuiring eye on city govern
ment
But the civic league is coming to
stay and assert an influence in our
cities; to speak quietly, carry a big
stick and go a long way. 1t is the
logical resultant of the progress and
diffusion of general Intelligence and
especially of the square deal spirit
awakened within the past decade or
two. The citizenry have come to know
what they want and are setting about
to get what they want. The civic
league is a means to this end. 1t is an
evolution from the vigilance society of
earlier time and cruder civilization Its
objects are the good of the greater
number and the suppression of special
privilege, to advance progress, pro-
tect the municipality, defend the laws.
suppress graft and minimize vice. 1t
does not ride with ropes at the saddle
horn but it has its terrors for evil
doors, grating or derelict officials and
the forces that make against the best
interests of society
The Wall Street Journal bears this
witness:
There is nothing patriotic or in the
least degree useful in sneering at the
committee of one hundred, or any other
body Of decent citizens trying to get
better government for this city. Sup
pose we give them their constitutional
chance?
Any reform coterie, no manner how
earnest, has a hard row TO hoe in
Greater New York. what with the jibes
Of republican newspapers and the jeers
OF the democratic organs. Independent
OF. otherwise. Reform leaders who have
the courage to urge their CONJUNCTION
that there can be a bettermenJ of
municipal administration or TO hazard
their political regulations in the en-
deavor 70 encourage a more honest
regime are, at least, entitled to credit
for their efforts, if not TO applause for
the motive that is within them.
1t took Chicagos Citizens Associa-
ton years to convince those who are
called reputable citizens and honest
voters that there is such a thing as re-
cent politics, with a motive other than
that of public plumber; but the last
municipal election there demonstrated,
in measure, that there is a public
sentiment that rings, or halls, or or
CARNATIONS cannot control or dominate
forever There is a clean element in
every community. The pity is that 1t
is not more encouraged.
Let civic leagues multiply. Let them
mean something except organization. II
the members will be willing to work
or pay others for working the civic
leagues can accomplish more reform
in year than individual effort in
lifetime This is an age of organiza-
ton. If progressiveness and decency
are to make themselves felt as a force
they must organize and the civic league
is at present the best of its kind.

But the man who asserts himself, be-
lieves he can do the thing he under
takes, creates confidence; and the en-
pioyer is looking for the man who has
program and who believes he can
carry 1t out. He is looking for results
and men who can achieve them.
The fine grained, sensitive youth
feels that it is tmmodest, unbecoming
to pushshis way forward. to attract at
tention to his ability, to tell what he
can do; but while he is waiting for
the world to discover his merit, and
to help him on, the aggressive boy be-
side him has pushed his way to the
position above him.

snails imported to the extent of about
$4,000; but the snail trade so dwindled,

SELF ASSERTION AS AN ASSET
Knoxville Journal.7

We often hear it said that, if a
youth has ability, people will find it
out without being told; that if he has
merit, IT will come out, says Orison
Sweet Marden in Success Magazine;
but we see on every hand young men
and women with splendid ability,
with good education and fine train
ing, out of situations, or in very ordin-
airy ones, simply because they lack
that aggressiveness which pushes its
way to the front. They are conscious
that they have ability, and they are
just waiting for somebody to recog-
nize it and to push them ahead.
Working right beside them are 9TH
ers with, perhaps, less ability, but
with that aggressive, ambitious spirit
which attracts attention and carries
them on past their more modest and
retiring friends In this electric coun-
try of push and hurry and drive, peo-
pie are too busy to Investigate merit
or mere worth which does not exhibit
itself or force its way forward The
American people believe in the man
who claims something, who assumes
to stand for som ething, who asserts
himself: for this assertion is evidence
OF that progressiveness which is so
essential to success. II man makes
no claims. people take it for granted
that he does not believe in himself.

GRINNELL AND PAVING.


The Times-Republican has recently
contained a series of editorials on the
paving proposition as it affects Grin
nell. Marshalltown has been thru the
mill and knows something of the mean
ing of the'problem and has experienced
law suits and injunctions and other
trimmings that sometimes follow in the
wake OF paving contracts. These edi-
torialS are we'll worth reading whether
enc agrees with them or not as they
are written after the fullness of expert
ence with paving contracts galore,
covering all kinds of material except
the one agreed on in this city Btu
lithic paving is a patent paving which
has for its base coal tar, not asphaltlm.
1t must be judged on its merits, not
condemned because other patent pro-
eesses have proven valueless. 1t may
be best and cheapest in spite of its
cost: it may be unsatisfactory in spite
of its cost. The wisdom or unwisdom
in its selection is demonstrate only
ny its wearing quality and cost of up
keep.

sometimes occurs that all else is lost
sight Of in the nomination and election
of the legislature where United States
senators are to be elected.
Us it to be expected that the legis-
lature which is to be chosen in Rhode
Island by the Aldrich machine, will be
al amendment to tax incomes? How
about some of the other states? Bur.
rows, Carter, Clark of Wyoming, De-
pew, Dick. Du Pont, Hale, Kean, Lodge
Nixon, Oliver, PaSe, Piles, Scott, all
come up for reelection in 1911. They
voted against the income tax. Unless
.heir respective states elect legislatures
opposed to these men there may be
counted against it on. this basis alone
the state of Rhode island, Michigan,
Montana, Wyoming, New York. Ohio
Delaware, Maine. New Jersey, Massa-
chusettes, Nevada, Pennsylvania, ver-
mont, Washington, and West Virginia,
The position taken by the admin
istration and endorsed by the senate
assumes that it is necessary to amend
the constitution before tax can be
laid on incomes. If the amendment is
defeated the non-government-s support
ing millions escape taxation for all
time. However hard the fight to carry
the legislatures Of three-fourths Of the
states, it must be won. The very ex.
istence of government itself might in
some dark and unforeseen hour depend
upon the right of the government to
subject every dollar of the country s
wealth to taxation
1t is a struggle to lay the foundation
upon which we shall finally rear a more
equitable system of taxation. Much of
the vast wealth which privilege has
taken from the toll of the many, fof
the benefit of the few, can be forced
to render to the government that which
it owes to the government, in no other
way.
1t will be great battle. The patriot
ism of the country will contest openly
for this amendment; the powerful OPP
position under cover. AS soon as the
house of representatives acts upon
the amendment its friends should Or
ganize promptly in every state to Sc
cure ratification. Appeal to the public,
arouse every taxpayer. 1t is the peo
pies opportunity.

AUTO IN SAHARA DESERT.

First Trip Excited Genuine Curiosity.
Arab Chief Delighted With Ride.
The first automobile journey in the
Sahara desert was recently made by
Edward E. Aver Of the Field museum,
in Chicago, and Mrs. Aver. Among the
incidents was the acquaintance Of the
chief of nomads. who was given o
seat in the car to insure pacific rela-
tons. The car was shipped from Par
is to Algiers. After skirting northern
Africa Mr.. Aver says:
1--WE kept our course south over the
desert to the oasis Of Biskra, where
we found growing 100000 date palms.
At Biskra began the $50 mile trip to-
ward the heart Of, the desert. Over
the barren desert we urged our car to
Tougart.
'"This Journey over the sands and
rocks was q pioneering effort. SO far
as big touring car was concerned.
We were forced to carry strips Of
mating. each thirty feet in length,
which could be stretched before the
machine when we came to reaches of
soft sand.
"The automobile excited the most
genuine curiosity. remember in par
ticular one Arab chief who rode for a
long time on hts beautiful horse at the
side Of the car. His band followed
not far in the rear. Finally we sug-
gested that he dismount and ride with
US. This he did with every display Of
pleasure. We speeded the car along,
and he grinned with all the delight Of
a child grasping new toy"

The girl who chews gum. and there

ton. The activity of her maxillary
muscles and glands last year was re-
sponsiole for the importation Of over
four million pounds Of "chicle.'
-tChicle" is obtained in southern Mex
leo from the trunks of the sapodilla

gum during the last decade has
amounted TO about 80 million pounds.
or over IS thousand tons, valued at
over million dollars
The canary and parrot fancier IS in
terested in the tariff. Birds imported
In 1908 amounted 10 over 900 thousand
dollars in value. and while they are
not specifically enumerated as 10 vari-
cites. it is presumed that this group is
largely composed of canaries and par
rots.
CircVes and the 600 are care free.
Wild animals, for example. imported
for geological exhibitions and scien-
tiic and educational purposes. which
are permitted to enter free Of duty be-
cause of their prospective use for edu-
cational and scientific purposes,
amounted in 1908 10 between 6 and I
thousand dollars: while those import
edsfor other purposes evidently exceed
ed this sum by far. since the group,
'.AlI ether animals" aside from cat
tie, horses, ssnules, sheep, swine, ami
rralsrfor breeding.purposes and teams
of immigrants, still shows a value OF
over 100 thousand dollars.
Rose leaves are also imported free
of duty when brought in in a crude
state, the value of the imports of 1903
being but s1o5. in 1907 s2,137, and in
1905 s5,s7e, the value of rose leaves
imported in the decade ending with
1908 amounting to over $4,000
The dyspeptic is largely responsible
for the fact that "nux vomica" forms
an important feature of the import
trade. The bureau of statistics figures
show that the importation of nux vom-
lea amounted, in rYund numbers, IN
1908 to 3 million pounds, valued at "a
thousand dollars, while the quantity
imported in the decade ending with
1908 amounted to about 25 million
pounds, valued at over 400 thousand
dollars. This drug is used in "tonics,'
etc, and is a very important item in
the pharmacists list.
The babies may kick over tariff leg
islation. Infants foods also form a con-
siderable item of importation. Al thou
sand dollars worth in 1908, and during
the decade have amounted to nearly
quarter of a million dollars, on which
the duty collected amounted to nearly
50 thousand dollars.

THE REASON WHY.

Davenport Democrat
Many country banks in Kansas are
not paying dividends. And what do
you think is the reason? The country
banker depends on the farmer as a
borrower, and the farmer doesn't have
to borrow; in fact his demand for
loans has fallen off steadily until today
the country bank-in Kansas at least
has less loans of. this sort than ever
before in it's history. If this is the sit
Uation before harvest what will it be
