All we have to do is to sup ply the revenue to maintain the schools. Our connection with the |school administration begins and ends here.
 You may ask now. What has your government done to improve the moral condition of Houston? We have wiped Out public gambling; we have obliterated the poolroom; we have forced the saloons of Houston to obey the laws of Texas mainly to close their places of business on the Sabbath day; we have confined those unfortunate women to one territory, and 'whe"e they will not come in contact with and pollute the pres- ence of purity; we have abolished variety theaters

If comm ssioner of the city discharges one of his employees in his department, the action is final. no good, for as long as the head of the department manages and works conscient:ously fer the city, .c mayor sustains him and leaves him with absolute authority. This causes the employe to respect the head of his department, hence we have little or no trouble. So it is with the po- lice. The council selects chief Of police and holds him responsible for the conduct of his men. No alder man can appoint man on the po- lice force. The selection of all po- licemen is left to the chief of po- lice. He alone can appoint. By this method politics in the force is ob- liberated. The men look up to and respect the head of their department for a chief of police without author ity would mean no discipline and no respect for duty.
 The Commission Government in Houston has entirely obliterated po;- itics from the public schools for the first time in many years. The school board is nominated by the mayor

FINDING A COUNTRY HOME.

BE Guarded Against by Novice.

some of the Mistakes Which Must
BE Guarded Against by Novice.
It is easy to prove that an income of
$1,000 in the country is worth $4,000
In the city, and that the difference is
saved in the cost of living and in the
fact that the home helps to support
itself. On the other hand, there are
vexations, disadvantages and even
hardships incident to rural life, and
they cannot fairly be passed by, says
Ralph d. Paine in Golfers. Money is
bound to be wasted in experiments, in
bungling methods, and in learning
how to do things right. The utmost
vigilance is required to avoid spend
ing what Is saved on the one hand by
going ahead too fast with improve
ments on the other. A dozen temp
tations to put more money into the
place lie in ambush at every turn.
Economy is fully as difficult as in the
city. Isolation, lack of congenial So
ciety. and maddening inability to find
efficient servants-in fact, any kind
at all-are insistent factors of the
problem. The initial outlay is likely
to be no more than half the ultimate
cost. Tools and equipment pile up
bills to dismay the novice. Labor is
lazy and untrustworthy. II there are
children, and there ought to be chill
dren in every country home, their ed
ucation must be considered.
1t still remains true, however, that
to fnd and own and improve ones
own farm, however small and humble,
is an achievement worth fighting for,
whether it be for an all-the-year-home
or not. And few there be who have
won this fight that would willingly re-
turn to the fat in the city or the hired
house in the suburbs with Its hfty-foOt

The Simplex system of driving con
crete piles, which the British ad
miralty is trying at Rosyth, is the in
vention of an American, f. Shuman
A steel tube, having a loose point or
pair of hinged jaws at the lower end
is first driven to the required depth
Then, as the tube is withdrawn, con
crete is introduced, and this passes
through the now opened lower enc
and fills up the hole made by the tube
The concrete is filled up to leve
several feet above the finished head Of
the pile, in order to allo~ for sink
ing as the tube is withdrawn. The
plan has been successfully tried In
many places.
In an English review Of the progress
in aeronautics during 1909 the first
place in the list of unsolved problems
is given to that of obtaining certain
degree of automatic stability at slow
speeds. 1t is recognized that the high
velocity of flight required to enable
the aeroplane simply to keep afoat
must be lowered before the machines
can become truly useful and safe. An
other question is that of the engine.
In order to make this certain in op-
Grafton, 1t is suggested that the weight
must be still further reduced, so as to
permit either of duplication Of parts,
or Of the employment of two complete
engines, each under normal condi-
tions working at only fraction of its
full power:
A remarkable photograph of half a
dozen porpoises, playing under water,
just ahead of the bow of a steamship
travelling at the rate of 13 knots an
hour, has been published by a cor
respondent of knowledge, q H. Gale.
The sea was calm and the photograph
was made by leaning over the bow
of the vessel. Mr.. Gale calls attention
to the singular fact that the porpoises,
while easily maintaining their position
ahead of the ship, showed no apparent
effort or motion of body, tail or fin.
Yet he thinks that they were not car
ried along by movement of the water
in front of the vessel, because air
bubbles were seen rushing from their
backs, and the photograph shows the
effect of these bubbles by the white
streaks on the backs of the animals.
they rolled over sidewise,
but always maintained their position.
In a recent book about ants, Rev.
H. c. McCook gives some surprising
facts about the mound-making ants of
the Alleghenies. He has measured
some mounds more than 80 feet in cir
although rarely more
than three feet in height. But around
these there are many new mounds,
in course of construction, only a few
inches in Height. They are found in
groups, one of which, near Holidays
burg, Pa, contains LOO mounds with
in a space of so acres. Their total
population is enormous, and each
group of mounds appears to consti-
tute a community-an insect kingdom
or empire. In regard to their mum
bers, Doctor Forel is quoted as saying
that these ant kingdoms haves in all
from 2OO,OO0OOO to AGO.

ZEPPELIN AIRsHIP LOSING.
Accident, in Which Hundreds Gould
Not Save Craft, Turns Opinion.

Accident, in Which Hundreds Gould
Not Save Craft, Turns Opinion.
Berlin, April 27.-German aeronauts
are asking whether the destruction of
the airship Zeppelin II at Weilburg
will not prove a fatal blow to the
school of rigid airship construction.
There has been manifested lately a dis
position in army circles to oppose fur
ther purchase of airships of the Yep
pelin type on the ground that they are
too unwieldly to meet varying condi-
tions of actual service. In the latest
accident it was noted that the crew of
several hundred men under experienced
officers was unable to keep the enorm-
GUS framework from blowing away,
whereas the ship of the non-rigid type
could have been debated and saved.
The Zeppelin craft has enjoyed
marked preference in the German
army, owing to the personality of in
ventor and the personal support given
him by the kaiser. Lately, however,
aeronauts have been inclined to the
adoption of more elastic and more
easily managed type. This latest ac-
cident lends argument in favor of such
a change.

Of independence 1T was the "embat
tied farmers" who drove back the red
coats from the redoubt on Bunker
Hill. To-day the foreign immigrant Is
populating the abandoned farms of the
Eastern States and gaining prosperity

The man who is tied to the city by
his business or profession, yet who
genuinely desires for himself and his
family the peculiar kind Of content
ment, health and self-reliance that are
bred of country life, has the solution
of the problem in his own hands. Let
him first choose the region in which
he wishes to live. Then let him lease
farm for year, spend as much time
on it as he can afford and learn all he
can about making 1t productive. If he
takes kindly to the experiment, let
him go In quest Of farm of his own,
buy it (and farms are sold on uncom-
monty easy terms of payment) and
make UP his mind to retire to It when
ever circumstances will permit. Own
ing country home is not specula-
tion. 1t is one of the soundest and
sanest investments in the world.

TO AID CAUSE OF PEACE.
Taft and Carnegie Dedicate SI,ooo,'
600 Bureau Home.

Washington, April 27.-The magnif-
cent new marble building Of the Inter-
national Bureau Of American Republics
within a stones throw of the White
House-was dedicated in the name OF
universal peace today.
President Taft Joined with Andrew
Carnegie, Secretary Knox, Senator
Root and Senor de la Bera, the Mexi-
can ambassador, as representative OF
the Latin-American republics, in pro-
phecies Of peace among the 2l Ameri-
can republics, and pledged themselves
to strive for that happy state. Mr..
Carnegie went SO far as to express the
hope that Canada, with the consent of
Great Britain, would some day join the
family of peaceful American republics.
The president called out general
laughter by referring to the contro-
versy between Theodore Roosevelt and
Mr.. Carnegie two years ago at the lay
ing of the cornerstone of the building
dedicated today.
"They differed as to the methods by
which peace should be obtained" said
the president, "but that both were
earnest and strenuous and determined
to have peace there was no doubt"
"Hear, hear" shouted Mr.. Carnegie
as the laughter died away.
The new building, a gift of Mr.. Car
negie, won the admiration of all who
passed within the bronze portals this
afternoon and at the reception tonight,
at which President Taft and Mr.. Car
negie headed the receiving party.

NORWEGIAN POET DEAD.
Bjornstjerne Bjornson Succumbs While
in Paris for Treatment.


Paris, April 27-Bjornstjerne Bjorn
son, the Norwegian poet, novelist
dramatist, reformer and advocate o.
universal peace, died here tonight
surrounded by his family. His enc
was peaceful.
The last serious illness of the nov
elist extended over nearly year. He
was brought to Paris for special treat
ment in the early part of last Novem-
ber, accompanied by his wife anG
daughter, a physician and nurse, and
during part of the journey Travelled
with the king of Denmark in the
kings private car.
In Paris, however, he was unable to
receive the treatment for arterio seller
osis, from which he was suffering, but
Notwithstanding, he showed marked
improvement for time, due entirely
to his wonderful vitality.
Again in February his death was ex-
pected momentarily, but the crisis
passed, though leaving him less able to
Withstand the next attack. During
the last week it was apparent he could
not hold out much longer. Prior to his
death he was conscious for some hours.
