FROM OTHER PENS

BUILDING FOR THE PRESENT.
Statistics of building operations in
the country's largest cities during
1908 and comparisons with those of
the previous year provide consider
able food for thought. It is noted
that the extent of the building indus
try was nearly 13 per cent less in
1908 than in 1907. This was inevita-
BILE, because of business depression.
The most interesting facts disclosed
in this report, however relate to the
character of the structures that have
been erected during the past year. 1t
is shown that only 1854 per cent of
the permits issued were for buildings
of fire-resisting materials, whereas
61.36 were for wooden structures.
And these percentages, It appears.
do not deviate materially from those
Of 1907.
This is the principal point to re-
member. 1t is not so important that
building operations have been extern
sive, all things considered, but that
we are not making progress toward
more substantial, enduring building.
The tendency to build for the present
alone seems to be exceptionally
marked. Flimsy construction is ev-
erywhere going up, the evident pur-
pose being to obtain quick returns at
smallest outlay. When the enormous
loss through fire and the enormous
ing are taken into consideration. the
folly of this policy becomes plain.
We ought to build more for the fu-
ture, thus saving ourselves immense
present xpenses.-Pittsburg Post.
ONE SECRET OF STRENGTH.
Complaint is made, in some Sec
lions of the northern republic, of the
disproportionate influence of New
England in Congress, and much jeal-
ousy is shown. The sensible Yankees
of the far northeast of the republic
have had the good sense to keep their
oldest representatives and senators
at Washington term after term. The
senators from New England have
become powerful through long SER
vice; they know the ropes" Take
SenatorAldrich. of Rhode Island, who,
by the time his term expires two
years hence, will have served 80 years
in the upper house. He lacks two
years of being 10. and there is talk in
his home state of trying to persuade
him to take another term of six
years. Rhode Island could not act
more wisely. Those western states
which keep their senators in office
a term or two. and no more, lose in
fluence in 1egislation.-Mexican Her

THE NIoTHER no HER SON.

Thy soul is like little bird
Beneath thy mothers hand, my boy.
Inc song God taught thee must be heard
Thou hast a right to free, wild joy;
Yet must she quaver as she dreams
OF thy dark flight Ger gorges dark,
lis there the rock the ocean creams;
Those gone before are stiff and stark.
And thy, strong wings shall climb the
wind,
Thy voice ring out in freedoms cry;
The loving hand that now doth blind
Inine eyes must lift and let thee fly:
BUT on. how sweet the warm bird thrills,
AS tenderly the palm is pressed,
And oh, how hard DER the hills
A cold wind comes in from that breast
Ihat little, breathing, tender breast
beneath the mothers loving hand
Yet must she heed the swelling crest:
Her shadows shall not hide the land
her fingers strain beneath those wings
That beat so Justify to be free;
Her hand is empty when he sings
A distant speck across the sea.
All, bird. be pitiful and pause
Ere quite into Gods man you grow,
Fly low, fly low, just once because
her hands are empty as you go,

Stretching Joke Too Far.
Once there was a country boy who
came to the city to forge his way in
the world.
He secured a posisen in whole
sale grocery, working conscientiously
and faithfully. By stint and sacrifice
he saved nice portion of his earn
ines. until at the end of two years he
had about 5000 in the bank to his
credit.
Coincident with this date chronicled
above a well-dressed and smooth
talking agent of Nevada gold min
ing company came along and met the
country boy. After some clever de-
scriptions regarding the marvels OF
wealth buried in the shaft of a GER
tain mountain and the immense guam
titles of glittering treasures dragged
from the bowels of the earth, the $500
was transferred from the bank to the
agent. and pretty engraved share
of stock with the name of the coun-
try boy upon 1t was carefully packed
away in the tray of his trunk
A month passed and then letter
came On the outside of the envel-
ope was the name of the Nevada min
ing company. On the inside was a
check for $1,000, the first monthly
payment on one share of stock.

Smoking Room Politics.

Oh. S. Pritchett, in the August Allan
tic.)
1t is during the excitement of a
national campaign that the smoking
room of the Pullman car becomes a
place Of the sharpest discussion, and
OF the keenest interchange OF opinion.
1t is then that confidence become POI
litical rather than personal. and the
stories of the drummer, Of the politi-
clan. and of the wayfaring man, turn
toward the candidates. No matter
what may be the origin Of discus
sion. everybody knows that before
long It will point toward politics, and
sooner or later that it will drift away
from state politics to national politics
II Is on these occasions that the best
stories are told. and the keenest wit
is displayed. And it is in these little
eddies Of our popular life that one
sees in miniature our whole national
existence. The possibilities Of COM
ing success in a campaign could in
no way be more clearly estimated
than by canvass OF the Pullman car
smoking-rooms.
The national campaign which clos
ed last November was one OF the
least eventful which We have passed
through since Mr.. Bryan first formed

courts upheld him in his assault on
the porter. The testimony ran as fol-

the habit of running for the presi-
dency. This phase of the campaign
was faithfully reflected in the discus
sions Of the Pullman car. Universally
it was admitted that Taft would win.

~ a thread of comment upon the man
who has since become president that
it was generally impossible to get up
anything like a real political discus

little larger majority than he actually
received, but its verdict would have
been practically that which the coun-
try rendered in November.
