GREAT CIVIC NEED.
That of Interesting Children fin
 Improvement Work.

Th9t Of Interesting Children In
 Improvement Work.
 What is needed along the line of i'm provement work, a phase too often overlooked, Is to educate and develop taste in the child regarding civic beau tifying. When the growing generation is interested in civic improvement the results need not be feared. The pres ent weakness lies in the fact that but few are interested, and the vast ma jority are indifferent through ignor ance. Could the first principles of this grand work be taught to school chil- dren as a body the work of beautify- Ing In the future would prove a simple the past generation been educated in Improvement work there would be no need now of maintaining a constant, never ending fight for street trees and other features of the work without which beautiful cities cannot be had. In dealing with the subject at school 1t is not necessary to delve into detail, but the pupils should be instructed in the fundamentals.
 This interest cannot be created by the stuffing process, which is the weak ness of the present day common schools, but should be developed in the child. so that he can perceive, appre- clate and discover beauty and excel lence and the best means to such ends. The curriculum of the common school has not been of late years sufficiently changed to meet the demands of the present day development In regard to public improvement, and when reach ing mature years or upon leaving school this phase of life is to him a closed book. School training should aim to impart somewhat of culture and taste, especially during the later years of attendance, and this in turn would be transferred to the home and public works, so that there would soon be an army of protestants against sloven;y municipal housekeeping that would prove equally potent in public life with the improved methods and conditions brought about at home.

eral centuries women reigned supreme It court, in the drawing-rOoms. on the stage, everywhere. All men did her homage; her slightest whims equaled commands. Affairs of state, family honor, right, wrong-everything was ig- nored to gratify her maddest caprices.
 Her dress. jewelry and other person Il adornments became vital questions. To-day even there are women who can spend $5,000 on a set of furs, $1,OOO on mantle. $1,25O on a gown and pay equally high prices for other articles of toilet.
 This extravaganza has always at tracted to Paris the smartest talent in Europe. France long led the world in the production of silks, satins, laces, velyets and all those fabrics essential to feminine attire. Dressmakers, jew elers, perfumers, were veritable artists who glorled in their work. For a long time Paris lived mainly on the creation and distribution of articles of luxury. Probably her dressmakers stand alone in having made a profound study of historical costumes for reproductive purposes. They found precious inspira- ton at the Louvre. Luxembourg and other famous picture galleries. NJ. Worth wrote big book on his profes-

gia, Maine, Kansas, Oklahoma ana North Dakota are absolutely prohibit i've States. In Florida there are at present only 25O saloons left in the en- tire State, while prohibition prevails In a great part of Louisiana. The anti salonists have been active In Virginia. In recent months they have closed out more than 400 saloons. Of the 100 counties in Virginia n do not now grant any form of license.
 In Nebraska already 45O municipali- ties have voted out the saloon. In Mis- souri 50 counties now refuse licenses. Since 1908 the voters of Rhode Island have abolished 429 saloons, and both Vermont and New Hampshire have in- creased their no-license communities.
 The only distinctively wet" States and Territories at present are Penn sylvania, New Jersey, Wyoming, Ne vada, Utah, Arizona New Mexico and the State of Washington which later, however, is likely to enact a local op- ton law before long. About 315 town ships in New York State are "dry" and 296 others are under partial H. cense.
 These facts show the steady and phenomenal progress made by the anti saloon organizations within the last year. Up to the beginning of 1908 they had succeeded in transforming a great part of the United States into arid territory. Since then they have gone forward in almost every State in the Union. In South Carolina and one or two other places they. have been check ed, but not very seriously. Statistics compiled by the United States Bureau of Labor were consulted. Bulletin No. TT shows that the average working mans income, as recently investigated, amounted to $76S.54 year. Of this sum his total expenditures for intoxi- eating liquors were $12.A year.

SOME MARRIED MEDITATIoNs
By Clarence L. Cullen

When you mildly praise another woman your wife knows that you mean to run her down.
 The New Thought cult comes in pret- ty handy for quite number of women who, for reasons, must have their thought stuff ready-made.
 There are plenty of martyrs who wear no halos. The men, for example, whose wives carry blocks of Ice, In the shape of feet, to bed with them.
 It is always the woman who suffers most acutely from jealousy who says this: Huh. I'd hate to have a husband that other women wouldn't look at"
 We know a man who washes his wife's hair every other Sunday merely for the reward of having her tell him that his hands ''are so nice and strong"
 A woman's idea of facing diversity when her husbands business fattens out, Is to move from the $90-a-month dat Into one that only costs $S7.5O a month.
 Have you ever met woman who didn't know perfectly well that, if she had Lillian Russelrs clothes. she'd make Lillian look like somebody that had been left out and rained on?
 She considers that you are callous and devoid of sentiment when you smile over her weepfulness at the emo tional play. But If you wept with her she'd loathe you for a noody-naddy.
 When you hear a woman say, with great positivness, There's one thing I balk at. and that's pressing trousersl li you may safely lay about 15 to 1 that she's pretty balky about everything.
 Don't expect your wife to understand your method of shopping. You walk into the store, ask for what you want, get 1t, pay for 1t, and walk out. When your wife sees you do this she consid- CTS you insane.
 When she says, speaking of another woman: "'Deed I don't for the life of me know howsshe manages to wear such lovely clothes" the knock for the other woman Is as plainly audible as h0of beats on the stage.

The prohibition crusade has swept forward to such an extent that in more than two-thirds of the territory of the United States the saloon has been abolished. Idaho, one of the few States which had withstood the move ment. has now fallen into line. In Tennessee a drastic act was enacted, and under 1t the manufacture or sale of liquor in any form will be a mis- demeanor. In the State of Washing ton a Governor and a majority of the members of the Legislature pledged to local option were recently elected. An overwhelming majority of the Legis- lature in Texas on a platform declar- ing for the submission of a prohibi- tory amendment means, according to the Prohibitionists, that Texas will soon probably become "dry."
 Under the provisions of a recently enacted local option law thirteen coun- ties in Oregon closed out the saloons. There are now 21 counties in Oregon in which liquor is prohibited. The elections since year ago in Colorado have been bad for the saloon inter- ests. Forty-twO municipalities have busted the saloons. There are now 1S0 cities and towns in California where the saloon is not allowed to ex- ist- In Ohio 57 out of 66 counties have voted the salon out of business. Under the provisions of the Moore re- monstrance law of Indiana 72O saloons have been abolished within the last year. Prohibitionists also hope to soon turn Arkansas into an absolute prohibition area. In Iowa 461 saloons have been put out of business recently, leaving only 1,119 in the entire State
 Twenty-two of South Carolinas 42 countries have voted for prohibition since November under the county op- tion law. During the last year 305 saloons and breweries have been forced to go out of business in Michi-

National Assets.

A great portion of the. public domain is poor land, worthless for farming purposes, but, on the other hand. there are large deposits of coal. oil and other minerals of immense value and vast forests that will furnish timber for generations to come. Naturally, such states as Montana, Idaho and Nevada look upon the public lands in their ibor- ders as the possession of their citizens. They are anxious to have the tracts divided and given to settlers. so that the. population may be increased and the resources of the states developed. But the public lands are peculiarly the possession of the nation and must be safeguarded as an important national asset The time is past when they may be given to settlers by the thou sand acres, fenced in by cattle kings and appropriated by railroads. Stricter land laws and strict enforcement of them are evidences of the governments intention to protect its lands and hold them in the interest of all the people.

Land Area of the United States Divided According to State Liquor Legislation.
 gan. Since a year ago 100 municipali- ties in Wisconsin have voted against saloon license thus closing out more than 400 saloons. Minnesota has been arraying itself against the saloon. The Prohibitionists assert that there are now only 100 saloons left in Minne- sota.
 A year ago 99 counties in Kentucky had already voted out the saloon. In Connecticut the "no-license" voters voted out 800 more saloons in the last few months, while in Massachusetts 10 more municipalities have abolished the saloon. In a single day 1,053 townships in Illinois voted for prohi- bition, and as a consequence 1900 sa- loonkepers have had to retire from business.
