Who like to be called educated can

An urgent appeal to the mothers Of
this country to use their influence in
behalf Of the building Of good roads in

made at the second international con-
gress on the welfare Of the child by
Mrs Frank De Garmo of st. Louis,

Mrs. De Garmo, who made report
on "RuraI Child Welfare said that
the condition Of the roads throughout
the states was deplorable, and that for
lack Of good roads churches and
schools had been deserted in some ID.
calities and had been turned into hog
pens and granaries. She further as
serted that without good roads it was
impossible to obtain good teachers
good sanitation and many other things
which were a necessity for residents
Of the country if the people were ex
pected to remain there.
The trouble was, the speaker said
that the lack Of good roads. with a
subsequent lack Of amusement and
opportunity for the country child. was
driving the American children into
the cities.
we must work more consistently tc
keep the child in the country Mrs
De Garmon said. "The conservation
Of the country child is the most i'm

committee on patents.

cOmmlttec OH patents,
Senator Core regards interstate
commerce as one of the most import
ant committees in the senate. It deals
with all questions relating to freights
and fares all interstate kilograms,
telephones, and railway communica-
tions. It deals with the most import
ant questions as to federal charters
for interstate carriers, and with the
Legislation now in course Of prepare.
tion relating to over-capitalization and
watering Of stocks and bonds; also
with the measure affecting dealing
and speculation in cotton and other
farm products as relate to interstate
commerce.
The committee on patents is also
one Of great Importance as many
trusts are built upon patents. The
senator believes that the people have
right to the benefit resulting from
patents and that there should be a
system of compulsory license or some
similar Legislation which would pre-
vent mcuopolies based upon patents,
that would secure to the people the
fullest consideration and benefit Of
all patented appliances, at the same
time securing a reasonable return to
the inventor and patentee.
The breach between the two factions
in the republican party grows. In the
organization Of the senate, and in the
committee assignments, the Penrose-
Lorimer wing, heirs of Aldrich, are in
absolute control, and the LaFolette.
cummins, Bristow wing have had the
steam roller put over them.

TIME TO BEGIN is NOW.

The most amazing results can come
rom the simplest changes. A raw
piece Of ground ovorgrown with weeds
and heaped with rubbish can be con
verted into a startlingly attractive
park almost instantly by little atten-
ton and work.
A sordid back yard can be cleaned
and made wholesome by white wsah,
broken boards can be nailed on, and
the transformation surprises the work
ers, especially after the whitewash
dries pure and white.
Yet all over the country can be seen
waste spaces that might be beautified
without actual expenditure Of money,
or so little that it would not be felt.
And back yards everywhere are used
for storage OF trash until the squalid
appearance is disgusting.
The waste Of space that might be
beautified, and the permitting Of these
waste Spaces being used al garbage
heaps and dumping places has hurt
many small city more than its citi-
zens will ever know.
Years have been wasted, Visitors
by the thousand have been impressed
by the shiftless appearance Of the
town Its lack Of snap and energy may
have driven many business concern
away.
Its absence Of parks may have caus-
ed family to locate where their chill
dren would not have to remain close
~ at home OF roam the streets.
The whole sordid scheme Of things,
passed over by all except the more
thoughtful, may have injured a town
to an extent that its growth has been
seriously impaired, and no one knows
what the loss Of money may have
been to property owners.
The time to make a change is now.
The matter Of improving towns and
cities is absorbing hundreds of thou
sands Of people, and if town is to
progress as others are progressing.
now is the time to get at it.
II is like the marching Of soldiers.
It would be hard for a single soldier
to march by himself In company he
does not feel it. He accomplishes re-
suits that he could not, if alone.
SO while towns everywhere are as
sembling their most progressive peo-
pie and planning, and making use Of
the waste space, and making clean
and improving streets. and laying side.

city and those who live in it--it is the
