Gwinn. a beautiful rural village Gre
ated by Il large organization, under the
supervision of Il we'll known land archi-
tcct, is and will be a lasting example Of
the ascendcncy of humanitarianism and
good business policy owe pure com
mercialism rather than civic triumph.
In the opinion of the organization t
is good policy to provide decent homes
in a decent environment and to add
good schools, recreation centers. open
spaces and attractive public buildings.
The town is so new that it's civic Life
has hardly more than started, but it
is safe to predict that civic RESPONSE
bilitics as they develop will be grace
fully assumed by the people and hat
thus will a civic triumph become pos
sible. Gwinn is located in the valley
Of the Escanaba river. in Michigan. 1t
has modern water and sewage systems,
although at present it can accommo-
date but about 600 people. The streets
are laid out in attractive ways, the
width varying from forty to eighty
feet, the wider streets being centered
by parked ways with trees and shrub
berry. When clearing away the orig
inal forest many beautiful trees were
preserved, so the town will not have
to wait for them all to grow.
The cottages have from four to six
rooms, they are of a varied and attrac-
tive architecture, and each one has it's
lawn, garden and playground accom-
panimentS.
At the start the steep wooded slopes
around the town, in most towns cover
ed with billboards and rubbish or pre-
empted for the uses of some private
individual, were reserved for the peo-
pie. A trail has been laid out to make
them accessible from the start. A
civic center was established, and there
may already be found the school, the
courthouse and the churches.
Gwinn is from the start avoiding the
mistakes Of the average town. 1t Will
have no slums. no dark rooms. no hope
less rentals founded on sweated land
values. 1t will have nothing to und~.
1t will have less of sickness. less of
crime, less of poverty. With all the
broad acres of America, why are there
not more G-'inns? Little England has
moro of thNm than all America. Let
the news of Gwinn be spread broad
cast that its example may be followed
by those who would build rather than
destroy. And after building let every
citizen do his level best to keep the
town III first class condition.

Charles Somerville in the New York
Journal.
Giuseppi Capuzzo, Or Charley Davis,
had been facing trial for the mur-
der of his wife. Carl Fischer Ham
sen, the young society man and
lawyer, had himself assigned to de-
fend the man and undertook to bear
all expenses that might come of seeing
that the wretched man got a just trial.
When court adjourned on the morn
ing before Christmas it was apparent
that the state had fastened guilt on
Davis and that only one result could
be looked fora verdict sending the
man to death in the electric chair.
Il believe the mar is possessed of
insane impulses to kill women" said
the lawyer to me. although up to this
time he has steadfastly denied his
guilt. He says he is the wrong man

That Colonel Roosevelt does not
intend to take a decided stand Ell
ther for the stalWart or the insnr-
gent republicans is shown by the
fact that he has promised to speak
for Lodge, a stalwart, in Massa-
chusetts, and for Beveridge, an in
surgent, in Indiana. The fact is
that the term Roosevelt Republi-
can" is a popular political slogan
all over the country and is being
used by all classes of republicans.
It means one thing in one state
and quite a different thing in an
other. The ex-president evidently
intends to support those men who
