WHERE VICE BREEDS

Reginald Wright Kaufman in Leslie's.
 We are told that crowded housing conditions bring many such children into court and send many girls into white slavery; but what causes crowd ed housing conditions?" Tt is well known that children are brought up within sight of vicious resorts;" but what is 1t that forces the parents of those children to find homes In rough streets? Many evil women are vicious because of malnutrition when young" but were they starving because they liked to starve? Children are made bad because their education is cut short and they are sent to work among ma ture people too early" but why are these children's earnings necessary to the family? Children, either as mes senger boys or in no regular work, sell newspapers or gum, deliver tele- grams and letters and run errants, even for cocaine and morphine, at the solicitation of women old in vice. but what are the conditions that make it necessary for these children thus to earn a few cents? I know one street in New York city. lined by tenements, many of them full of windowless bed rooms, and on the ground floor Of a single block of that street are two saloons, three livery stables, one boot black stand, two factories. 2S push carts 91 shops. Street women ply their trade along the crowded curb and rent rooms in the tenements. Yet In that one block live 1875 children, of whom 462 are under school age.

NEW CLOTHES FOR GODDESS

From the New York Herald.
 Tn happiest woman in all New York today is standing out in the middle of the river, with one arm raised over her mill lions of fretful sisters to show that a goddess still can be a goddess even if she does have to wear made-over clothes winter and summer. Miss Liberty has just had S20,00O spent on her wardrobe, and although it was only a patching up of the clothes which MT. Barthodi gave to her when he left her here in 1886 she is contented.
 For five years she has been complain ing, grooming occasionally and feeling creepy in her joints after the stiff winds had driven the rain through little weak spots in her copper clothing Her clothes were sadly in need of repair, but Uncle Sam did not give heed to the needs of his daughter until one day her arm began to weaken and 1t was found that she could not longer hold up 12 persons in her right hand. Then the ladder up the inside of her 45 foot arm was closed to the pub lie, because the brawny arm wobbed, and it was deemed best not to tax it too
 
 there in the copper sheath skirt and some of the braces on the inside that held the plate to the steel framework come loose. Uncle Sam found that he must send for the dressmaker.
 The copper envelope which forms the goddess gown wes repaired piece by the missing rivets were replaced. all the missin grivets were replaced, all places where the copper was so badly damaged by corrosion that the light could be seen shining through the shell were patched properly with soft copper. Great care was taken that none of the small holes intended to drain the pockets formed by the drapery were closed by mistake.
 The stonework around the goddess feet has been repaired and two turnstiles placed in the stairways leading to and from the head of the statue. This was found necessary because so many per- sons did not read the directing signs and went up the wrong way, with the result that there was gerat deal of unneces- sary confusion and some anxiety on the part of persons meeting on the narrow spiral.
 The repair work is now complete and the goddess Is in as fine and sturdy con- dition as when she was first erected

Notable Catholic Gathering

"The twenty-third international Eucha- ristic congress which is to be held at Vienna. this month under the protection of the Emperor Franz Josef will be most notable affair."" said layman.
 This forthcoming congress will be in- deed distinctly notable for many reasons. A great Eucharistic congress was that held in London few years ago when a papal legate put foot on English ground for the first time since the sixteenth cen- tury, and when a great stir was made over the question of having procession of the Blessed Sacrament in tho public streets.
 Last year the Eucharistic congress met in Montreal. It was a great success In point of attendance and in point of de- corum But the Vienna congress will be in the nature of mighty Catholic demon- stration-the greatest religious demonstra- ton and most imposing from every point of view than has taken place in Europe for a century or more. The Pops's lcgate will be Cardinal Won Rossun. Franz Josef will send a special train to the borders of the empire to convey the legate to Vienna.

Preparations for a Parcels Post

The parcels post is in the hands of Postmaster General Hitchcock, a friend and advocate of the reform, and it will have a fair trial. He is authorized by the bill to change the classification and even the rates, but he will not act in an unfriendly man. ner to a change in the postal service long demanded by the people.
 The service is to go into effect on January 1 next, and there is much to do before that time in putting into operation a new service in big coun- try. An appropriation of $750,OOO was made for equipping the service, and S25,000 was added to pay the expenses of a commission of inquiry made up of three senators and three representatives. This commission will report it's findings to Congress next winter. Q.
 The rates under the zone plan are by no means low, and really the chief task of the Postmaster General will be to secure enough parcels to carry. He will be ambitious to report at the end of the first six months and the end of the fiscal year that the sys- tenn has been self-sustaining. MT. Hitchcock will not be in office next July, but his successor will be a friends of the news service, for the democratic platform advocates it.
 Parcels under the new system must not exceed II pounds in weight or 72 inches fin length and girth.' This will cover nearly all packages that need quick transmission except farm produce. In this matter the proof of the pudding is in the eating, and all look to MT. Hitchcock to give the new system a fair and even start.

The Coal Wasted

Of unusual interest was the report of Dr. Joseph A. Holmes, director of the United States bureau of mining, which appeared in the telegraphic columns of yesterdays Age-Herald. He made the startling statement that of 500, ,O0O,00O tons of coal mined in this country last year, 250,O00,000 tons were either ''wasted or left un- derground, probably unfit for future use." In addition to his statistical statement, Dr. Holmes pointed out that users of coal through faulty methods derive only about 10 per cent of the energy of coal used."
 He says that the losses in coal min ing are only the beginning of the enormous drain of the countrys nat ural resources. Charles L. Parsons, chief chemist of the bureau, contends that the loss of nitrogen is inconceiv- able. while millions of dollars liter ally go up in smoke through loss of sulphur, arsenic and bismuth through the factory chimney and the home flue." j.

 It Is the cost of news service and not the cost of the plant that makes starting a newspaper difficult. Three ffths of the cost of operating a mod ern daily are what might be called overhead charges. l mean by that, news service, editorial writers, pictures, cabegrams and the various bureaus. The mechanical side represents only two-fifths of the remainder. I do not know single progressive newspaper that Is not constantly increasing its news outlay far faster than 1t piles up It's mechanical expenditures.

IN A SINGLE TAX LAND

pal affairs and tax commissioner of Al. berta. had made the following statement in reply to an inquiry as to the opera ton of the single tax system in the farm- ing districts:
 "The only taxes levied in the rural dis tricts of this province are those levied on lands. No taxes are levied on improvements or personal prop erty This method of assessment Is a fair one and Is satisfactory to the farmers. In fact, any change to . system whereby improvements or personal property are assessed would be strong ly opposed by them. We have found no demand for the tax system being changed so that taxes would be levied on im- provements and personal property"
 Edmonton is not only successful with the single tax system, but has also worked out a satisfactory plan of mu- nicipal owned public utilities, operating street railway and telephone lines. water works and electric light and power plants. The municipality has plans to install gas plant costing s7O0,OOO, and also mas experts at work making test bores in the vicinity of Edmonton for natural gas wells.
 The city of Edmonton owns and oper- ates 10 miles of street railway lines, a water distributing system of 90 miles of mains and an electric and power plan of 540o K. W. Three hundred and fifty thousand square yards of paving. esti- mated to cost $1, 250,00O, will be laid this year. At the beginning of 1912 the city had 2174 429 square yards of paving. Im- proyements in the next two years will cost s5,ooo,Ooo
 The municipality owns two industrial sites of more than 240 acres in the south ern and northern parts of the city, where factory sites can be leased on long terms on a basis showing per cent on the cost The business tax has been abol- ished. Electric light and power and water for manufacturing purposes are sold at minimum cost.
 The tax assessments this year amount to 123, 100000, exclusive of exempting, ana it is expected that the rate will be about F mills on the dollar, as compared with 137 mills in 1911.

Popular Subscriptions Wanted

Acting Chairman McAdoo reports that the banks are responding favor ably to the suggestion that they re- ceive and forward to national com mitteemen in each state campaign subscriptions. Forty-two banks have already agreed to act in that capacity, and it is believed the number will go to at least five hundred.
 No duty is more important among democrats in Alabama than the pro- motion of popular subscriptions. To prevent the need of calling on the trusts and magnates in the Wilson and Marshall campaign is the first duty of every patriotic democrat. The country needs one campaign in which one candidate at least did not ac- cept large subscription, or any sub- scription from the ranks of privilege and favor. Popular subscriptions should be promoted to the utmost. A million one-dollar subscribers would constitute an ideal campaign fund as things stand.

 A single tax idea, and many agricul- tural communities In the province will be organized this year under the rural mu- nicipality act, passed by the last legisla- ture and effective in 1913. The new sys- tenn provides that taxes shall be levied equally upon all taxable land in the mu- nicipality according to the assessed value of such land. The assessment plan is based upon the following provision in the rural municipality act:
 Land shall be assessed at it's actual cash value as 1t would be appraised in payment. of a just debt from a solvent debtor, exclusive of the value of any building erected thereon or of other h. crease of value caused by any other ex- penditure of labor or capital thereon"
 The question of taxation Is dealt with entirely by the council of the rural mu- nicipalty. The new act fixes the limit to taxation for municipal purposes at 10 that rate will be levied to exceed ss per ioo oSiSs, anu Tn many cases the rate levied will not exceed s3 or $4.
 With a view to encouraging the cultiva- tion of farming lands in the province and at the same time dfscouraging the specu- lative holding of large acreages, sev- eral important amendments will be brought to the attention of the next leg islature. One of these is recommenda- tion that the present refund of 25 per cent of all taxes on cultivated land be increased to 50 per cent. This it is be- lieved, would have the effect of driving the absentee speculator out of the field. Other amendments will be based upon the actual experience of municipalities when the act comes into operation next January.
 The act provides that every municipality shall insofar as Is practicable, comprise an area of IS miles square. or 324 square miles, and all municipalities shall be laid out on a uniform plan as the conditions of the system of the dominion Iand sur vey and the physical features of the prov nce will allow.

Interest in Vermont

If Vermont's republican vote in to- morrow's election falls below normal, and it probably will, the republican campaign committee might as well shut up shop. From ante-bellum days Vermont has been a political barom- eter in presidential campaigns.
 When the republicans have scored heavily in the September elections, the republicans have been headed for vic tory in November. That Vermont sign is the best of all. And it is gen orally felt that it will manifest itself in favor of Wilson on September 3.
