LIQUOR Bill Hearings Held.

The joint committee on temperance
gave public hearing on several meas
ures last evening. Mr.. Hewitt of Plain
field urged the provisions of S. 81. APP.
plying TO village elections. Superinten-
dent Smith of the Anti-Saloon league
wanted the bill to cover Labor day, Co.
umbus day, Memorial day and Ben.
nington battle day.
S. 10 and II. 23o, practically the same
in their provisions, were considered to-
gether. Mr.. Donnelly Of Vcrgennes op-
posed, as they might disfranchise good
men from holding Office Supt. Smith
argued that it is not question whether
the liquor business or lieensee Is n
good man. The relating of the bust
ness to public policy puts it out of the
ordinary. 1t only lives by sufferance.
So often it comes in conflict with the
law. the processes of the law are used
against 1t. Liquor dealers should keep
their hands off public office.
Mr.. Clayton of Lond onderry spoke for
his bill, Fl. lac. making majority vote
instead of a five per cent petition nee
essary for the granting Of fifth-class
license.
H. 200. introduced by Mr.. Donnelly,
received the approval of its author, and
the disapproval of Supt. Smith, who
said the passage of the bill will in
crease the profits of the liquor dealer
and make it more difficult to carry
towns for no license.

EDUCATED CHILDREN
TO GET BUILDING
Was Urged by Walter D. Moody Before
the American Civic Association at
Baltimore To-day--Non-edu education
and Indifference Are at Base of
Evils of Present Day.

Baltimore, Md, Nov. 2l.--"The build
ing Of the future city is not in our hands
but in the brains and hearts of Amer,
ica's children said Walter d. Moody
managing director of the Chicago plan
commission, at the conference on city
| planning held here to-day as a part OF

ISOLATION.
1T Is not opposition which retards

Mr. Moody, ''but rather it is non-educa
ton and Indifference The solution of all
the major problems of the American city
lies in the education of our children to
a realization OF their responsibilities as
the future owners of our cities. The
regeneration OF the American city must
come from the efforts and the wills of
an educated and eivically enlightened
citizenship.
"Chicago's efforts to educate children
in city building" said Mr.. Moody, had
resulted in turning out 10000 city plan
ming enthusiasts every year"
Real estate developing firms as an i'm
portant factor in city planning. when
they work upon proper lines, were the

the wisdom to provide certain number
OF main arteries from the heart of the

He urged that American cities be
"extravagantly liberal" in providing such
main channels of traffic for the future.

Be Your Own Companion.

"Be able to be alone, Sir Thomas
| Browne.
Are you good company for your,
self -
Thus opens an article in the Albany
Times Union by Ruth Cameron, and she
goes on to pity the person who is de-
pendable on other people for company
and pleasure Many people would be
miserable most of the time if they re-
lied wholly on others for amusement. 1t
does us all good at times to be by our
selves, to let up on the strain of the
days work, drop everything and let the
tired head rest, without talk or thought.
Another accomplishment. if such it
may be called, is the training of the
mind and eve to gain entertainment
from the outside world. to watch the
different types Of people, the customs of
the birds and animals, and the flowers
that bloom. To many, life is bare of
enjoyment without constant hustling and
busting here and there, while to others
the quiet hours of the evening are some
thing looked forward to through the
day. 1t depends on the person, and as
long as the world exists. differences of
temperament will occur everywhere.
Quoting again, the exchange says:
"There are great many people to
whom there is no prospect more terrify-
ing than that of few hours with only
their own selves for company. To es-
cape that terrible catastrophe, they will
make friends with the most fearful bore
or read the most stupid story.
81 wonder if they realize, when they
do that, what commentary they are
making on their own boresomeness?

ionship, but even without book or

stupidity from themselves, they are fair
