 nTOWNR1t W HELPS
BETTER HOUSING CALLED FOR
Community Can Not Be Made Att tractive Without the Cooperation
 of the Builder.

"The housing problem is one of the
 velopment and good homes are the
 keystone of the whole social arch" :"
 writes Edward T. Hartman, secretary
 of the Massachusetts Civic League, in
 the annual report of that organization.
 Mir. Hartman discusses the housing
 problem in towns, and says in part:
 T want particularly to mention three aspects of the housing problem;
 the aesthetic, the social and the eco homie For many years we have had in Massachusetts a succession of short-lived organizations developed to improve the appearance of towns. They have in the main died because their aim was superficial. Beauty cannot easily be engrafted upon rot tenness. People are beginning to see that in a town in which every house is of good design and in which main tenance work is carefully looked aft CT, there are those elements of art which when combined make for beautiful community.
 "The social aspects of the housing problem are enough, it seems to me, to cause every one of us to re-esti- mate the values of the items covered in our efforts for social advance. Bad homes are responsible for large per centage of the immortality which the churches are trying to cure; they are responsible for large part of the sickness the hospitals, dispensaries and nurses are trying to cure, and di- rectly or through immortality or sick ness they are responsible for much of the poverty the charities are trying to cure
 "The economic aspects of the hous- ing problem are serious. Towns get, as rule, that for which they bid That is, if force of circumstances brings large number of people to a town, the quality of these people will depend in large measure on the kind of homes which are offered them. If the people have to content themselves with the abandoned dwellings, out buildings and similar inferior homes, they will be of an inferior type of peo- pie, because self-respecting people will not, live in such homes
 But when the people coming into a town are offered attractive homes on we'll planned streets self-respect- ing people will come, they will in- crease the taxable value of the town, they will pay their way through the schools. the streets and elsewhere, and they will decrease the per cap- ita demand for all the remedial insti- tutions.
 Tt is not enough to develop good homes. They must be maintained in a good condition. There is therefore a call for an active local healthy au- thority. To meet it's conditions and needs every town must have a good law, the efficient enforcement of which will give the town what 1t needs in the way of houses, and it must have an active board of health that will see that houses are always kept clean and sanitary"

Rapid Growth of White Pine.

After 2SS years of white pine cut ting, in Massachusetts alone, which by many is supposed to be denuded of timber, there were 238,000.O00 feet of white pine alone cut in 1908 (govern- ment figures). The forest service fur. ther reports that it is not improb. able that similar cut can be made every year in the future from the nat ural growth of white pine in that state.'

CAR PASSENGERS
FRIGHTENED WHEN
|NTERURBANS CRASH
Trolleys Collide Near White
House Station, But No
One Is Hurt.

Passengers for Baltimore on the
Washington, Baltimore and Annapolis
electric train 81. which left the White
House station at 9:4 o'clock this morn
ing, were given scare when the
Chesapeake Junction car side-swiped
the big W., B. & A. car going over a
swith on Benning road at Sixteenth
street northeast. Both cars were
knocked from their trucks, but no one
was injured
The Baltimore train was bound out OF
the White House Station yard, and
was just crossing over the Sixteenth
street switch to the eastbound main
line track when the Washington Rail-
way and Electric car 1891, in charge of
Motorman B. j. Gier. came down grade
upon IT, Both cars were going at slow
speed, and, though the shock was
slight, the impact was sufficient to
throw the Baltimore car from the rear
truck and the Chesapeake Junction cal
from the front truck.
Though 1t took approximately two
hours to clear the eastbound track
traffic was not tied up. Owing to the
arrangement of switches at this point
It was possible to run cars both ways
on both lines by switching around the
wreck.

Mrs. Elizabeth Welsh Cameron, of

her former husband, william Henry
Welsh, once Washington architect
and attorney, in which he asked to have
returned to Holy Cross Academy their
little daughter, Elizabeth Ann Welsh,
who was taken from that institution
last Wednesday by her mother.
Mrs. Cameron was formerly Miss
Elizabeth Champion, of Washington,
and was prominent in society. She mar
ried William Henry Welsh and sought
divorce from him, the decree being
entered November IL, 1909. Their child
was placed in Holy Cross Academy
under the order of the District Supreme
Court. Both parents were to be per-
mitted to see the child.

Three days after her divorce, the
former Mrs. Welsh married Duncan Cam

This marital venture also went upon a
reef. She sought a divorce, her first
husband, Welsh, acting as attorney for

contentious being that Cameron, though
wealthy, borrowed s120 from her on the

employed. but It is not one whit worse
than to steal a nomination for the
Presidency By such methods as were
employed oy the bosses who CONTROL III
the, Republican convention in Chicago
last June.
I'VE Progressives propose to give
the people power to rule their own
nominating conventions and to con-
troll their own party organization, just
as we propose to make them the real
and not the nominal masters Of their
own public servants.
I'VE believe in direct preferential prim-
aries because only by means Of such
primaries can the people really choose
the bosses. We have fearlessly faced
the social and economic problems Of our
time and not since the day Of Lincoln
has there been any movement which has
contained such large promise for the
good Of the people as q whole.
I'VE are concerned, but not primarily
concerned with the distribution Of polit-
ical power. We have declined to do as
was done in both the Democratic and
Republican platforms, to thresh over
old straw, according to the habit OF
American platforms for the last forty
years. We are really graphing with
.he issues that are vital. All true and
wise radicals should now come to us
tives, for the wise conservative must
recognize that 1t Is only the Progress
sives who offer any real and permanent
hope of conservatism.
"At this moment ask your attention
to the proposals we make to secure So
cial and industrial justice. In the first
place, we set forth definitely what we
mean to try to secure; for instance, one
ers; an eight-hour day in continuous
twenty four hour indrAtries; the pro-
hibition Of child labor; the establish

minimum wage standards for working
women: workmens compensation acts
the securing Of proper conditions OF

Will Not Be Denied.
1--WE do not intend to let either execu.
tive or legislative officers forbid us tc

tend to let the judges forbid US TO have

Therefore, in our platform we have

Money Well Expended

The university trustees wisely
say that the erection of an agricul-
tural building, as authorized at the
last meeting, is a recognition Of
the development of Wyoming as
an agricultural state. And the
university has the qualification of
knowing that it has taken the lead
in that development. The work
of the agricultural college, the ex-
perimental station, the extension
courses, and short course, have
given an impetus to agriculture
that nothing else could. The
money contributed by the govern
ment to agricultural education in
this state has been money well ex-
pended.-Laramie Boomerang.

Huston Ranch Sold

"A. ii. Huston recently sold his
large ranch on Cow creek to Hun
ter, Casteel II Hunter, the big
cattle firm of Big creek, who also
own a large ranch OH Brush creek.
MIR. Huston had previously dis
posed of his cattle to the same firm.
We did not learn the price paid,
but it was a handsome sum. Mr..
Huston and his wife have been
living in Santa Monica, California
for several years and they expect
to return to that place, where they
own valuable residence property,
to spend the rest of their days.
MIR. Huston came to this country
in 1857 and hunted for the Over
land Stage company for many
years. He is most interesting
character and his life would make
thrilling history. He knew
Wyoming when it was peopled
only with red skins and wild
game and WAS, in his day, one of
the most noted shots in the west.
He was a contemporary of Jim
Baker, rs we'll as of all the old
time trappers and frontiersmen of
the early days of this state. We
regret to lose him from our midst
for he is certainly one of the most
remarkable men we have ever
known and is universally respected
for his sterling honesty and in
tegrity.
