ENGLAND'S NEW QUEEN

I. T. V COulOT III 4n A. T.
 The Queen is a splendid specimen of the robust race from which she springs. She has the fair hair and the blue eye of the typical Englishwoman, has splendid health, and her beautiful skin is an eloquent testimony to her original strength of constitution and the healthiness of her habits. She in not fond of the more daring sports and not of the showy ones. She is rarely seen on horseback she is un- known. believe. at the fourth hand exhibits; she speaks several languages. as. do most royalties; she is. however. not as good a musician as some other members of fhe royal family; she is a fine needlcwoman. and she dances exquisitely and with keen enjoyment
 Though serious. she is the very last person who coule be accused of want of gayety or the joy of life. On the con- trary. she dearly loves a joke, romps with her children--ls, in short. what a good woman and q good wife should be-healthy. light-hearted and sunny Which is as 1t should be In an English queen.

BOOKS THAT BOYS WANT

From the New York Mall.
 Prof. Margaret Ashmun, instructor Tn English at the University of Wisconsin, makes sane and spirited defense or the weird stories of adventure with which the American boy of today is wont 10 regale his responsive imagination. She de- clares that the boy who does not care for such books is not a real, healthy, boyish boy, and that the reading of such literature is merely a step in developing a taste for something higher and bet ter.
 A suggestive theory, surely. The Amer ican boy probably measures our real heroes of peace and war by comparing them with those he finds in fiction. Take our Indian wars. In "Kit' Carson, George A. Custer, and Buffalo Bill" he sees the incarnation of types revealed to him in tales of adventure with the redskins. The romances of sea fighting all help him to proper understanding of the chivalry and daring of the real Paul Jones, a hero more picturesque than any that ever sailed the seven seas in fiction. May it not be that our sensational fiction of adventure has a real function to perform in preparing boyish minds for cor rect appreciation of men who were heroes in realty?

Conan Doyle declares that George is the strongest man mentally who ever wore the British purple. If that be so and if his character shall prove equal to his mind, the present king. should he attain to the age of his father, will be recognized as great and an illustrious
 man.
 TLere have been men on that throne of superior capacity for government AL fred the Great ranks with our Washing ton. or William the Silent. William the Conqueror was a man born to command. Edward III was both consummate statesman and a consummate soldier, and Henry V, who died ere he had reached his prime, was a prodigy for wisdom in the council and conduct in the field, He was Shakespeare's Prince Hal.
 Of course, general opinion will name Cromwell as the greatest man of action the Anglo-Saxon race has produced That was the judgment of Thomas Carlyle, whc ranked the lord protector even above Napoleon as a genius; but that was a very patent mistake. Napoleon was the greatest administrator. especially in the ls0.ht oIllCc SdCSdIs pOSSlbly lHt great est since Hannibal.
 The last great man of action on the British throne was William H. a Dutch man, though his mother was English. Macaulay saw in him the greatest of English mcnarchs, and perhaps he was Certainly he was of a heroic race, and in his veins coursed as blue blood as Eu- rope could show-Orange. Bourbons, Stu art, Pldnta2enet, and what not.
 But for kingcraft in this age there never WAS an abler man on the British throne than the late Edward VII. His tact, his urbanity. and his sagacity worked wonders for his country, and if his son and successor shall be able to fill his shoes completely it win be well for England and for mankind.

FADING INK NEEDED

From the Kansas City Star.
 Love letters taken out of their setting always make mirth-provoking reading When certain distinguished litterateur wrote. My very own, kiss. you on your beautiful mouth and your dear little hands," he had no notion that his sights were to be given to the public. No mar rted man or woman arrived at years of discretion can think of the foolishness of the letters of the courtship without blushing. Letters of all sorts are really written only for the day. In a fortnight they make pretty stale reading But from old love letters, heaven deliver us.
 One of the crying needs of the age is for an ink guaranteed to fade from sight within a week, that can be furnished the lovelorn without their knowledge after the fashion of the powder that is smuggled into the coffee cup to cure the drunkard. while he is left ignorant of his salvation. Of course, you never could get 'em to use fading ink if they knew.

OLD TIME "BEsT SELLER"

From "The Point of View in the June
 Scrbner.
 Best sellers there were and ever have named Mitchell was writing them. His books were read by old and young; they sold like hot cakes, as we say; like bread, as the more sober idiom would have it. Our fathers read those books, if we our selves did not; sometimes they read them to their mothers. "The Reveries of a Bachelor is still read today, but my copy of it is gray and dog scared, like school boys Virgil; the bravery of its ggilding is tarnished; yet how crisp were the pages 60 years ago! The 'Reveries' came into the world with a pseudonym to cloak their authors modesty; Ik Mar vel was the pseudonym, and we buried its wearer, bachelor nolonger. though still an amateur, but yesterday. Tx Marvel had survived his literary generation, and even in his hey-day old world flavor was tasted in his style; the gentle senti- mentalist was one that knew the Specta- tor papers and had smoked his pipe late over Sterne and Goldsmith.

Jefferson Needs a Courthouse

Spurred by what the Tennessee com pany and the American Steel and Wire are doing in the matter of vast construc- ton work President Job Going of the county Board of Revenue thinks Jeffer- son county should rise to it's needs and opportunity in the matter of a court house. Fortunately the tinkering policy has been condemned. Public sentiment plainly says the present courthouse must be endured until the county is ready to build one adapted to the population and business of county second only to New Orleans in the cotton states
 President Going may feel assured that public sentiment is lining up behind him. The recent grand jury did strike a re- sponsive chord, and 1t will not be long before demand for an adequate and representative and capacious courthouse will be demanded by the people. Mr. Going himself outlines programme of prepara-' ton when he says:
 'I would suggest that an architect be employed, that he furnish us with plans, cost price and other data, and that we thereupon issue statement to the people of this county calling upon them to vote for just the sum indicated in the archi- tectural plans and no more. We would then construct the courthouse and every penny would be under complete observa- ton while being expended
 This is excelent-why not put 1t in course of execution? The present court house is becoming greater nuisance every day. and the sooner Mr. Going's plan or some other equally desirable plan is put before the people the better for a quarter of a million people in this great county.

BREWERs' POINT OF VIEW
From the Washington Post.

fIoHn tHe w 1Osl-
 Representative Boutelrs summing up of the met results,' of prohibitory legisla- tion in this country is certain to provoke cumulative criticism by the forces of tenn perance. Upon no other debatable ques- tion are the views of the opposing sides more incompatible. Particularly provoca- tive is MT. Boutelrs claim that the United States Brewers association. which he was addressing at the time. aids the cause or temperance and good government by req son of the purity and wholsomeness of the beer it's membership produces and by assisting local governments in regu- lating the orderly manner of it's sale. Have not 42000.oo0 of the inhabitants, nearly half of the whole, rejected the claim of purity and wholesomeness, asks the anti-saloonist and driven intoxicants from their territory. Contrariwse, the brewers quote statistics to show that they are making more beer today. than before the temperance wave started, and that withal the people are becoming less and less addicted to drunkenness.
 When opinions and statistics clash so confusedly it is scarcely profitable for the unbiased to deal with the subject further than to call attention to this or that proposition by one or the other party to the controversy. Therefore, as the brew CTS have the floor in Washington just now, the conclusions of a practical and influential member of Congress as to the failure of prohibitive legislation up 70 date have both importance and timeli-

Helping the Local Manufacturer

The advertising committee of the Cham. Der of Commerce, headed by Richard T. Massey, is doing excellent work. It de- sires to see this city advertised as Texan and other far western towns have been and in this direction it might be we'll to consider the plan of the Commercial club of Kansas City for developing existing industries. That city asks other manu- lecturers to locate and in order to show that that they will be well cared for, it is endeavoring to build up by co-opera- tion the factories it has For this pur- pose a circular letter has been sent out, as follows:
 Firm name.
 Location.
 Date of organization.
 Amount of capital at start.
 Amount invested at start.
 Number of employees at start unale and female).
 Value of first years output.
 Amount of capital January 1, 1909.
 Amount invested January 1, 1909.
 Value of output, 1909.
 Number of employees. 1909 (male and fe- male).
 Kinds of goods manufactured.
 Names of brands.
 Do you buy goods outside of Kansas City which now are being manufactured in Kansas City7 If so,zwhy?
 What firms in Kansas City sell your product?
 Which firms in Kansas City should sell your product which do not now?
 Is there any way in which we can CO., operate with and assist you in develop ing and extending your factory output?
 How about your fuel supply, water sup ply, etc.? Can we assist you in reducing the cost?
 How far from Kansas City do you sell goods?
 Kansas City believes that more devel- opment can be had by helping the fac tories it has than by inducing others to come in to start new experiments. Every city contains germs of great possibilities, and some good work and some encourage ment extended to them would quickly show great returns. This matter deserves at any rate consideration on the part of MT. Masseys able and enterprising com mittee.

Return of the Market Basket

In a suburban district of Chicago a market basket league has been organ ized. The object of this league is to save the cost of delivery of groceries, meat, and the like. by wagon on telephone or ders.
 Recently published tables show start ling differences between wholesale and re- tall prices, and these differences are chief ly due to the present wastefuI and ex- travagant means of selection by consul mers and of distribution by dealers. A dozen wagons go where one would suf- flee to an apartment house, and the in- creased cost falls upon the consumer. Chairman Yoakum of the Frisco railroad says middlemen have absorbed the entire sum of decreased freight rates in the last l2 years, amounting to s24O, OO0oO0. It is estimated that five firms properly located all leagued together, are doing at pres ent.
 The market basket league hopes to work out reform in this matter by re- lieving dealers of the cost of distribution and by eliminating waste and inferior se- lections in general. A reduction of 10 per cent can perhaps be effected in this man. ner always provided every district has it's market basket league. The move ment must become general in order to be- come effective and economical.

Road Repairs In and Out of the City

A rainfall that came in good part In heavy showers has left tho roads of both city and county sadly out of con- d,tion. full of unexpected depths and tire some gul1ies. These places will be ren- dered worse by every passing shower. The unpaved roadways in the city are as distressful as those in the rural dis tricts. There is need of chert and of con- siderable repair work in all directions, hut as a rule extensive repairs are not called for at any point What is needed is quick work wherever the storms have done an undue amount of washing. A little chert and a little leveling up here and there would if applied quickly rem dersthe roads as good as they were be-. fore the heavy rains fell.
 The city authorities and the board of revenue should get busy, and then all will be well at least for a season. The truck raisers and the milkmen and the der the roads as good as they were be- good roads, and so do the consumers in town. Everybody in short wants good roads

BILLS IDEA OF ANTHEMS

From the Philadelphia Record.
 A sailor who had been to a church service, where he heard some fine mu- sic, was afterward descanting upon a1 anthem which had given him great pleas ure.
 A listening shipmate finally asked:
 T say, Bill, whats a hanthem?"
 "What?" exclaimed Bill. Do you mean to say you don't know what hanthem is?"
 Not me-
 "Well, then, I'll tell yer. If I was to ask yer, Ere, Bill. give me that and spike,' that wouldn't be hanthem. But is was to say Bill, Bill, Bill, give give give me, give me that 'andspike, spike, spike. Bill, give me that, that 'andspike and, andspike. spike, spike spike. An men, ahmen.

IN HOTEL LOBBIES
A Charleston Visitor

1 H. Il. King of Charleston, s. C., spent yesterday in Birmingham He is seere- l tary of the Charleston Young Mems Christian association and is a membe" of the Chamber of Commerce of his city. T have been making a tour of the southern states and have been as far west as Oklahoma" said MT. King. "I am taking notes in the progressive cities with view of applying up-to-date meth ods in Charleston
 My town has not grown like the other large cities of the south. We have been extremely conservative-so conservative as to be regarded as a bit slow. Well, younger. set of business men is com ing to the front in Charleston and we are determined to get in the progressive class. We are going to modernize Charles ton and just give us little time and we will be taking strides forward. We have splendid commercial resources and we are going to reap the advantage of our natural opportunities.
 T spent some time in Texas and was greatly impressed with the prosperous appearance of Dallas, Houston and all
 
 'I found Oklahoma City quite a phe nomenal place. Not many years ago 1t was only a water tank and today it's population Is estimated at about 65,000.
 "Of course, everybody hears of Birming- hams marvellous strides. A stranger ex pects therefore to see a large, hustling city: and he will not be disappointed It comes up fully to my expectations. In fact. it exceeds all that I had imagined. Birmngham's Chamber of Commerce building Is elegant and Is a model in arr engagement for the purposes it was de- signed to fulfill. There is nothing of the kind so handsome anywhere in the south, and I think 1t safe to say that few cities in the United States have any handsomer Chamber of Commerce home.
 T feel that my trip has been well worth while. I have certainly got new ideas and lots of inspiration by seeing what growing, pulsating cities like Bir- mingham have done and are doing.'
