SEES ONLY THE BIG CITIES
Brooklyn MInlster Would Have Them Deautlfied as the centers of
 Our Civilization.

DE. Hillis of Brooklyn, while hold. ing pronounced views on the dis graceful condition at present prevail ing in many American cities, has very optimistic views of the future.
 There is 8 new spirit abroad in the nations of the earth" he said. "A spirit of revolt against the ugliness of large towns Is now sweeping over the Old World and the New. This revolt has taken on the majesty of destroy. ing wave. London and Paris, Berlin and Vienna are tired of the old ugli ness.
 'In Germany alone I have found this summer twenty volumes fresh from the press, with the ink scarcely dry on the pages, on the new sciencs Of town planning and city building.
 ''In our own country 1s0 cities are now organized and formally commit ted to a commission for laying out the lines of growth for twenty years to come.
 "All of our cities of the first class having over 100000 population, most ot our cities of the second class, with f0o.000 population to 100000, and more than 100 cities of the third class have their organized municipal com mission on city building.
 "The time was when our civilization was largely rooted in the country, in the farm and the rural village, while the city was only ganglion and nerve center rather than the brain.
 ''Now every year the pull of the metropolis upon the heartstrings of boys and girls in rural districts Is g stronger pull. The city is the center of business, with manufacturing and financial life. The city Is the home ,uf music. art and eloquence. The city is home of the college, the libra ,ry, professional schools, and for all these reasons 1t is quite certain that a. the city goes so will go the re public"

Paris Is truly ,ecity of tragedies At quarter past eight. the other morning there was terrific bomb ex- plosIon on the Place de Montrouge. Policemen rushed up, and found 3 young man of eighteen, Alfred HervO. shrieking with pain, and rolling ,ip agony on the ground. His face and hands were covered with blood and his clothes were burning. Two police men put. the fire out, put Hervo in g cab, and took him to the nearest hos pital. The other policemen found the bomb. It had been made, of two metal soap boxes tied together, and filled with powder and nails. Hervo declared that he knew nothing about the bomb He. was on his way to bis work, saw the thing lying on the pavement, and kicked it oR into the gutter. It broke open, and wondering what the black stuff in it was, Hervo lit a match and bent down to find out. An explosion followed.

 hTOWNRr M HELPS
JAPANESE CITIES AS MODELS
Lecturer Declares They Are Ahead of Other Nations In Municipal
 Government.

That western ideas of civilization have permeated Japan to such an ex- tent that 1t is rapidly forging ahead of some of the recognized leading na- tons of the world was the declars- ton made by Harvey N. Shepard of Boston, former attorney general of Massachusetts, in an address on Zap aness Municipal Governments" to the members of the Philadelphia City club. Mr. Shepard also declared that the Japanese people were far ahead of Americans in solving municipal af. fairs.
 'f1n no other countries on the face of the earth" he said, "are the mu. nicipal governments closer to the will of the people than they are in the 11ovsry Kingdom, and graft and ex. travasances such as often charged against the officials of cities and towns fin our own country are prac tically unknown. While the munich palities of Japan are of a more recent development than our own they are founded on a hrmer basis to further the prosperity of the people. Patterned after the cities of France and Prussia their administration corresponds greatly to that of the municipalities of those two European countries. All over Japan there is a marked progress in municipal affairs. Public works are being forwarded and they are con structing good roads and developing their harbors."
 MT. Shepard spent many years in Japan and studied closely the phases of life In that empire. "As skilled workmen," he said, "the Japanese are rapidly becoming proficient and are equal to the skilled workmen of our own country. There is no child labor in the factories, and because of this wages have increased perceptibly. While modern and ancient ciyiliza- tions are contrasted sharply with each other in some parts of the Japanese islands, they are rather a modern country with telegraphs, railroads and other conveniences such as we iu America enjoy"

SHOULD BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY
childIsh Mind, eropins In Darkness, ls Craving for Information That
 Is penled It. A"

Every trace of useful information is carefully concealed from the very young child. A rattle. or at most 6 rubber doll. is its only plaything. AS 1t grows older 1t is very slowly and gradually introduced to the various forms of the animal kingdom. Of the mysteries of numbers and of lsn- guages 1t has as yet no conception. Its constant questions are for the most part answered "humorously" and hence incorrectly or they are not answered at all. This eternal "hu- nor" is most galling of all. Why should a human infant be such an ir- resistible joke? The lower animals take their young seriously and train them from the start with 8 very deti- nite purpose in view. Yet their pos abilities are ihfinitesimal as com pared with those of the average baby. And we sit calmly by and enjoy the "humor" of childhood and insist that the child Is enjoying itself also, even though it's little soul may be thirsting for information which Is laughingly denied 1t. And We continue to put oR the inevitable day when the child will have to take life seriously and hence, according to our tradition, sadly.
 One important point which Is quite overlooked by the upholders of the brainless child is the fact that non sense and stiffness are just as taxing to the infant mind as useful informe- ton would be. It requires no more mental effort to realize that A Is A than to grasp the extraordinary fact that . mass of brownish softness Is fuzzy title Teddy bear, yes it is." In fact, the letter A has distinct ad- vantage. And at a more advanced age 1t Is certainly less puzzling to be told that five and five make ten than to have one's own respectable pink toes described as a series of pigs go- ing to market or. entering into the va rious other activities of life.-sig- mund Spaeth in Harper's Weekly. g.s

FashIons Long Kept Up.

The British admiralty's annual or der for black silk handkerchiefs fol the navy, recently placed for 90,000 led to inquiry. why black?" It is said to be as mourning for Nelson's death at Trafalgar. Another instance of long-continued mourning is shown in the dark clothes officially worn by the Anglo-Saxon race; at the decease of the duke of Gloucester, Queen Anne's heir-apparent, the bar went into mourning and has never -dofed this, though the lapse of the Stuart dynasty on the British throne Wat scarcely to bea fsSretfed. Doubtless the largest following of one fashion by men was after 1isxahder set the style of having the face clean. shaven; this was kept up by the qraeco-Roman world for five hundred years.

Fro. Shade rrees.

Free trees will be distributed to the householders of Denver by the city on municipal arbor day in April. The expense of purchasing the saplings will come from the streets and boule- yards fund, as provided in the mayors budget. It is believed that about 15,. 900 trees, mostly naples and elms. will be given away.
 Last years distribution was a great success. The trees were in excellent condition, and practically all were planted, according to the rules laid down by the city forester. It Is esti. mated that s8 per cent. of last years crop are thriving.-Denver Municipal Facts.

PHONE HIS DOWNFALL
Fred f. Spring Divorced From Wife
Following Row.

Judge Dana on Thursday granted
Mae Spring a divorce from Fred F.
Spring, whom she complained abused
her and failed to support the family.
The case was contested.
In the evidence this afternoon 1t
appeared that fractional feeling in Au-
burn over a recent telephone row, had
centered around the divorce case. AS
a result of this factional trouble many
residents in the Auburn neighborhood
came to Topeka to tell what they knew
of trouble in Springs home.
When there was a telephone war in
Auburn recently one company en-
ployed Spring as telephone operator.
This job created for him the i'll feeling
of friends of the other company. 1t
likewise gained him several of the sup
pOrpers of the company which gave him
employment, nd lost him the affection
of his wife.
Not only did Mrs. Spring receive d.
vorce, but she was awarded the custody
of the minor child, judgment against
Spring of 50 a week for its support and
permanent alimony in the amount of
$3.50 for herself This alimony must be
paid into court and failure to meet
the order will subject Spring to punish
raent under the desertion act.

HAS WIDE EFFECT.
Arkansas River Decision May Make
Oklahoma Trouble.

The decision of the Kansas supreme
court last Saturday in the Arkansas river
case Will have far reaching and impor-
tant effect in Oklahoma. The Kanss
court decided that the Arkansas river, be-
ing, a naVlgabIe stEeam, its bed and the
Isldhos IN the stream belonged to the
state. The Arkansas river flows across
the Kansas line into Oklahoma In the
lalter state oil and gas have been discov-
eIeu IN the bed of the river and are
CANNED by the land owners on either side
OF lne slream- According to the Kansas
court decision these deposits are the prop
royalties are involved Then in addition
the sand and gravel deposits in the river
ped are valuable as these articles are
scarce IN Oklahoma. The same case as
mat decided by the Kansas court is pend
IIls IN the Oklahoma courts, and the Kan
sag decision forms a precedent in this
case that is bound to have an effect upon
the Oklahoma decision. The Daily Okla
honnan comments upon the Kansas de-
clslon and its bearing on the Oklahoma
case as follows:
Strong precedent which if followed by
Oklahoma and federal courts will provide
the state of Oklahoma with funds esri-
mated sufficient to pay off the public debS
OF Ihe state IN two years, was established
IN the supreme court of Kansas Saturday
when that tribunal affirmed its recent de-
clslon holding that the state owns the
Arkansas river bed including the islands
Dispatches received in Oklahoma City
Saturday from Topeka contained the in
III ASS dIQ1IlS the decision
1T is expected that the decision will
have considerable influence in the litiga-
ton now pending in Oklahoma and fed
eral courts over the oil, sand and gravel
rights in the beds of the Arkansas and
Grand rivers within this state. If the
same principle is followed here the state
will secure possession of the entire river
beds with the natural resources, which
the school land department recently
leased to private companies.
1T is estimated by state officials and
attorneys in charge of this litigation that
revenues to be derived by the state from
these sources will be from $2,50O,0O0 10
SO, 100000 annually and if royalties can be
collected on the results of past operations
in these river beds, the total will be much
greater, aggregating probably 100000,
the approximate amount of Oklahoma's
public debt, within two years.
Since statehood oil, gas sand and
gravel companies located in cities and
towns along the Arkansas river in this
state have been developing these natural
resources in the rivers bed, without cost
to themselves, except for the expense of
development. Recently it was decided by
the school land commission that the bed
belonged to the state, which therefore,
was entitled to a royalty on the products
taken from the bed"

OROzCO'S new GAME.
He Is Believed to Be Trying to En-
broiI U. S. and Mexico.

Washington, April 12--It devlop-
ments in Mexico should warrant the
United States to consider recognizing
the belligerency of the rebels, the
Washington government would be in
duenced by the present attitude of the
insurrectos toward state department
protests, it was said today.
Department officials pointed to the
delay before the release of c. A Heb
erlin, a mining engineer at Jimenez,
Mexico, and to the execution of Thorn
as Fountain at Parral as acts which
did not bear out previous expressions
of friendship.
Anticipating a tieup on the entire
railway system in Mexico soon, many
Americans are departing, according to
advices to the state department. The
strike on the National railways is set
for April Is.
Railroad Men Ordered to Quit.
Ell Paso, Tex, April 11.-An employees of
the Mexican Central railroad in Chihua-
hua have been ordered by their operating
chiefs to leave the service of the road and
report to their superintendent in Ell Paso.
Most of them obeyed the order today.
Practically all the employees in Juarez
quit work. The understanding is that
these employees will receive their usual
pay though idle. The Central is a Next
can government property and the men
are ordered to leave its service so that
the rebels viii be hampered in their op-
Grafton of trains
Today the rebels were delayed several
hours in securing crews to take the
daily passenger train south to Chihuahua,
Orozco Losing Faith.
Mexico City, April 1.-THE belief is
growing among the observers here that
GeenraI Pascua1 Orozco. the rebel leader,
is losing faith in the success of the rev.
olution through being unable to obtain
supplies of ammunition and that he is
seeking to embroil Mexico and the United
States by attacks on Americans.
The assaults on American citizens flee
ing from Parral, the robbery OF the
CbibuahI1a consul'S official mail and the
execution by rebels of Thomas Fountain
of Las Cruces, n. M, captain of fed
eral gun under General Pancho Villa, are
all reported in kilograms to government
OFFICIALS to have been done by command
of Geenral Orozco for the purpose of
state.
E. P Curtis, vice president of the Order
of Railroad Conductors, and f. Corrigan,
head of the Brotherhood of Locomotive
Engineers, arrived here and conferred
with the local committee regarding the
threatened strike of American trainmen
on the Mexican railways. They later
said, developments may be expected
within a few days.
