VIII A Dry Tour,
Be A Dead To,ur?

If the saloons are closed will It hurt
business? The saloonists say that it
will and the fear that 1t will gets sign
ers to a saloon consent.
What happened in Muscatine?
Thirty saloons were closed there in
March. 1908.
The leading manufacturer and busi-
ness man Of the town said over the
phone today that in that same year
every store room formerly occupied by
a saloon was occupied by a legi innate
business of some kind excepting two
and that these two were in such out-of-
the-way places as to be unfit for any
thing but saloon.
He said that there were 100 empty
houses in the town in 1907 when the
saloons were running and that in 1909
after one year with no saloons every
empty house had been filled, more than
100 new ones erected and people act
ually were turned away who wanted to
move there but could not find q house
to rent.
He said that when the saloons closed

posted IN savings banks who had never
possessed bank account before.
The city tax levy In Muscattne in
1907 with saloons was Az mills and
in 1908 without saloons it dropped to
20 mills. then TO IS mills in 1909. not
withsten6ing the fact that salaries OF
city employees has generally increased.
Criminal prosecutions cost in 1907
with saloons S4.1S449 and for the eight
months Deriod of 1909 ending with Sep
TENDER the corresponding expense was
only s-17.o2.

THE PRESENT PUBLIC SQUARE.
provement of the public square by the
erection Of a unique and interesting
building.
The present public square in Paris
bellies the heritage of the city's name.
Judged from its photograph, it is an
unsightly. cherries spot, which con-
tributes little to the enjoyment and
benefit of the general public, to which
ii was dedicated. 1t is used as a sort
OK market place and hitching station
add as a means Of getting somewhere
else as speedily as possible. The gen
esal sanitary condition Of the square
is said to be a to the gem
eral health, and it is evident that some
transformation of this part Of the pub
lie property is imperative.
There is in Paris no suitable and
safe repository for historical docu-
ments and other objects where they
can be properly exhibited, nor is there
any fitting memorial art collection or
memorial tablet to perpetuate the
honor of the pioneers of Lamar county
and Paris. These men and III

about the plans for Il building which

building to occupy a circle not more

might prove as invaluable in the mountains Oh
Mexico as they have under somewhat similar
conditions in the Philippines.
Similarly the conditions existing at the scene
of the present campaign are such as to empha-
size the fact that there is yet very important
sphere for the cavalry in the army
II as though the crisis in this unexpected quar-
ter were a provfdential answer to the argu-
ments Of those persons in and out OF Official
life who have been urging in recent years
that the foot-soldier should be practically the
whole thing in our military complement. IL
must be apparent to everybody who is even
casually conversant with geographical condl
lions that if Uncle Sam is to keep peace From
the Canal to Canada" he will have need of
considerable cavalry force and force pro-
vided with the best possible class of mounts
There are mountainous localities in the region
to the south of us where only cavalry could
operate successfully. Neither automobiles nor
vet aeroplanes would serve as a substitute
And incidentally it may be noted that C conditions
on the Mexican border have afforded an OPP
portunity much earlier than anticipated to
test the practical military value of the airsh1p
The servicability of the sky craft for scouting
operations ought to be pretty we'll attested ere
the troops return to their nome stations.
No better theater of war, real or mimic, than
the southwest could be chosen for demon
strating the progress made during the past few
years both in the methods and equipment or
the u s. Signal corps. The general public,
with its craving for the spectacular, has heard
most regarding the introduction of the aero
plane as a utensil of warfare but as matter
of fact the Signal Corps has recently intro
duced innovations far more important from
military standpoint than the aerial scouts and
these communicative utilities and novelties for
day and night signaling would obviously prove
especially valuable in rough country where
there are few existing telephone or telegraph
wires and where the erection of such lines
would be difficult and expensive. The Signal
Corps is fully abreast of the times land Of the
military establishment Of any other nation) in
its experiments with wireless telegraphy and
wireless telephony and it has developed some
very ingenious expedients for the use OF rap
idly moving forces in the feld,-as for instance,
the Autobiography car telephone and tele-
graph station on wheels and the apparatus
which enables mounted trooper to lay or reel
In a telephone wire automatically while his
horse is at full gallop, the rider meanwhile con-
tinuing telephone conversation over this elastic
wire.
II Is expected that when the joint operations
of the army and navy in the south have passed
into history the record Of operations will af-
ford argument one way or another as to what
shall be done with the Z. S. Marine Corps
Our readers will recall that this force, the sol
diers of the navy" has been for some time past
a bone of contention IL service and official cir
cles Many persons have contended for years

BRUSSELS WORTHY or PRAISE
Time and Money Lavishe6 Without
Stint TO 5eautlfs the Old World
Metropolis.

Dwelling on Brussels as q city
where civic art has reached a high
standard, an article in The New Age
goes on to say:
with a taste rarely evinced by mu-
inequalities, Brussels has so adapted
certain of its new thoroughfares 10
their eshetic surroundings that an
cient and modern are made harmoni-
GUS in a beautiful ensemble, as, for in
stance, the imposing Rue de la Re-
gence, leading from the Place
Royale to the Palais de JUS
tice, giving a vista magnificent to
look upon from that building across
the Place Royale. across the park TO
the Palais de la Nation. where parlla-
ment sits.
One section of this monumental
modern thoroughfare is fianked on one
side by the old Palais Gutenberg, on
the other by the ancient Church OF
the Sablon, a most graceful and per-
feet specimen of Gothic architecture.
In front of the Palais Gutenberg they
have laid out the square du Petit
Sablon, the iron railing around 1t be-
ing supported by granite pillars, upon
each of which is a miniature bronze
figure, each representing a different
trade of the olden times. Thus is the
modern blended with the ancient In
perfect harmony.
Long. wide streets, beautiful vistas,
avenues leading to green hillsides'
boulevards so wide that the sun plays
upon them as upon the open fields
dense woods, smiling, cheerful build
ings, grand, majestic piles, houses
which are gems of ancient archltec-
ture carefully preserved and restored
have been planned for the public eye
and the peoples pleasure.
THE surrounding hills Of Brussels
have left much to the adornment or
the city and every rise and fall of the
land has been taken full advantage or.
In the olden quarters there are still
slums, but these are gradually dlsap-
pearing by appropriation.

FROM A FINANCIAL POINT
It Is to the Interest of Every Citizen
to Maintain High Standard
of Town.

Gen. Howard Carroll, who knows
a great deal about foreign travel by
personal experience, declares that
Americans will have spent $25O,OOO,-
600 in Europe this year before 1t ends.
This. he thinks, is proof of gross ma
tional extravaganza.
Perhaps so, but that seems to depend
upon what the Americans, who do the
spending, will have obtained for their
money. Sometimes travel so stimu-
lates and widens mental activities that
the indirect benefits are extremely
profitable. Even sheer beauty often
pays those who go far to see 1t and
feel it's charm.
In the large civic sense 1t Is often
profitable by leading cities which
lack beauty to emulate those which
have acquired 1t. Citizens OF towns
which have neglected their own pos
sibilities In that respect often return
from long tours in distant lands filled
with a. laudable civic ambition for
more municipal comeliness and
charm.
When cities begin to take their
possibilities seriously, In the matter
of good looks and civic attractive
ness. they are on the road to much
material profit, not to speak OF the
increased satisfaction their own resi-
dents find In living there.
