Anti-saIoon League Mans Views

A. J. Nicholson, a gentleman sojourn- ing in Alabama, writes to The Age Herald from Beaverton, and encloses a cutting from the Baskerville, Iowa. Democrat, his nome paper" In his letter he says:
 T am not liquorite, as I would un- doubtedly be dubbed in the incorporate language of Temperance but when coercion Is an admitted failure why seek to force impracticable laws on peo- pie who don't want them? Here is what cut from the paper named:
 'Dr. W. C. Helt, founder of the Anti Saloon league in Indiana, and the father of the movement. says as his con clusion after 12 years study: An un- biased study of the problem has forced on me the conclusion that unconditional prohibition of the liquor traffic in the present generation, with our complex citizenship, is a practical impossibility, and that the money expended, and ef- forts put forth by the Anti-Sa loon league and kindred organizations, with the prohibition idea as the ruling. mo- tive, have been unwisely directed. Since the formation of the Anti-Saloon league the per capita consumption of distilled liquors has increased from a gallon to gallon and one-half, and of fer mented liquors from 15 gallons to 20 gallons. The only practical and per manent solution of the liquor problem lies in education and the enactment of laws which are reasonable and which will make the successful control of the traffic possible."'"

Progressive Southern Cities

Persons who have been visiting the south during the past five or six years cannot fail to observe the handsome im- provements that are in evidence in the large cities" said F. T. Sidell of Minne- apolis.
 birmingham Is much talked about in the north as a wonderful city in point of rapid growth, but even better. than that 1t is spoken of by visitors as one of the most beautiful cities in the United States. Much has been done here in the matter of landscape effects, and in the not distant future it will be famed for it's esthetic development.
 '1 have seen every city in the south of considerable size, and while all of them have been pushing ahead. the cities that impress me most in their strides along city beautiful lines are Memphis and Birmingham. Memphis is making large expenditures on it's splen- did park system. Until comparatively recent years that city looked like an overgrown country town. It's commerce has always been important, but in ap- pearance the city was ragged and unin- viting. All that Is changed. It Is to become as noted for it's beauty as for its material prosperity. Civic pride makes the modern city, and no city without it can be expected to keep in the race. There was never so much striving for the dollar, perhaps, as there Is in these recent days, but along with commercial prosperity there was never so much of the ethical spirit or demand for the beautiful as now"

THE WORD "CHAUTAUaUA.
From the Hgginsville. Mo. Jefrersonia

ETOIu tue f1lSSllSNIlc, MO., J6HeTSOnldn.
 The word 'chautauqua' has an interest ing history Long ago when the ancestors of the 'Senecas came to the margin of beautiful Lake Chautauqua after suc- cessful hunt, they camped upon its bor- ders for the night. A sudden storm arose. The waves became so high that their camp was jeopardzed and in the un- avoidable confusion little child was swept away beyond their reach and lost in the bosom of-the lake. Thereafter the lake was known as Chauddaukwa. "The place where the child was carried away. nowI anglicized into its present form, The chautauqua assem- ply of today Is the place where not only the child but tho man and the woman. 'are carried away not to death, but to- bigger, broader and more enlightened life.

I have wondered why it has not been revived in the churches In its hmyn tune form 1t is easy; so easy that any congrega- tion can sing 1t, but it is susceptible of fine dramatic treatment, and I once heard a soprano sing 1t with telling dramatic style as an offertory number in an Episcopal church.

Like n Burgomaster

Corey, known throughout the United States as the model industrial city, not being incorporated it devolves upon John c. Lusk, vice president of the Jemison Real Estate and Isurance com pany and a representative of the Corey company, to act as burgomaster," said a citizen who frequently visits Bir- mingham's new suburb. Whenever res idents need anything of public char acter they feel free to call upon MT. Lusk. The people out there recognize him as man of authority, and if this or that is to be attended to he is the man to do it. Lusk's obliglng spirit is proverbal. No one could make a better burgomaster

LONELINESS

ihere IS one thing besides disease, that lslworse, in the mind of the average per- son, than poverty. That's loneliness Don't you suppose that the country boys that run the street cars and work at the packing houses in the city are wise to the fact that they could do much better finan- cially, than they are doing now, down upon the farm? But when they 20 back to the old home they are so appalled, by the lonesomeness that they admit to them selves that they had rather live in tho city upon a crust than to stay out in the lonely countryside and enjoy the fat of the land. A western farmer took a. slum dweller and his family out to his big ranch. He gave them a house, all the ground they wanted for vegetables and as many cows as they cared to milk, besides paying the man pretty fair wages. They stayed three weeks and went back to their miserable roost in the slums. The mans wife told the whole story in one sentence. "Why, I never got to see a picture show while I was out there" she said--Arthur Aull In the Lamar Dem Ocrat
