full two-story seven-room house
of style like the one here shown is
very popular generally in the smaller
cities. AS it is only % feet in width
this house can be built on the or
binary narrow city lot.
1t is just as necessary to specialize
in designing houses as it is in any
other line of business. Living condi-
tons differ great deal as the town
increases in size, and we are obliged
to build houses to fit the changing
conditions. When village has one
hundred inhabitants, twenty or thirty
houses will hold them all. Each house
may occupy corner, and have an
acre or two Of land for air space and
for growing fruits and vegetables
There are no sewers, curbs, or pave
ments; the streets are not lighted
ct night; there are no policemen or
other public servants to pay; SO the
tax levy on two-acre lot is not very
oppressive. But when the boomers
get to work, advertising the won
derful advantages of the place, the
population increases in some places
with great rapidity; then grafters
come along with their various i'm
provement schemes, and expenses
soon mount up until two-acre lot
loses it's charm when the tax man
makes out his BILL
Fresh air Is then sacrificed in pro-
portion to the ambition of the vii
lage promoters, until, in some in
stances, one of these old-fashioned
holdings is carved into twenty little
lots, and you get your deed from
somebody's subdivision of lot num-
Der two, allotting to you thirty feet
frontage, the same extending back
one hundred feet, more or less, to an
alley. This little burial plot then be-
comes the last resting place Of many
unsatisfied hopes of fine outlooks,
plenty of elbow room, fresh air, and
bright sunshine.

President Taft's Southern Delegates

The Republican State Committee OF
Alabama has adopted resolutions in
dorsing President Taft for renomina-
tion, and week or two ago similar
action was taken by the Republican
organization OF Georgia. But in Kan
sas. where the Federal ofiiceholders
do not control the party and the real
voice Of the people is permitted ex-
preston, the Taft administration was
rebuked at the polls by the election
of a Democrat in strong Republican
congressional district.
The so-called Republican organiza-
tons In the South have long since
been stigma on the Republican par
~. In spite OF the efforts made since
the days OF reconstruction TO create a
Republican party in the Southern
States, II is still as true now as II
was forty years ago that the Repub-
lican party in those states has no
voting strength at the polls and ex-
lists only for the purpose of grinding
out delegates TO the National Conven-
ton.
These delegates says the Brook.
Ign Citizen, are always controlled by
Federal ofiiceholders when the Repub-
lican party is in control of the Fed
eral patronage. and, as in 1896 when
the patronage is controlled by a DEM
ocratic administration, open TO pur-

been a scandal in Republican Nation

found TO put an end TO IL. The late
Senator Quay was in favor of reducing
Southern representation, and Postmas-

The School Teacher

When Henry Watterson, after adj

mental capacity and availability as
presidential candidate, had occa-
sion To find fault with the New Jer-
sey executive he had 10 resort TO that
meaningless sneer that has served
others who. wishing 10 condemn Gov.
Wilson, could find nothing worse to
say. Mr.. Watterson made invidious

He also said Gov. Wilson was auto

But Andrew Jackson taught

The Worlds list Is meager. Many
American statesmen, North and
South. in early life taught school,
In other countries OF the world,
notably In Germany, the university
professors have been conspicuous as

would profit by having more OF the

White is one OF the clearest headed
and most able men that ever served

Woodrow Wilson was lawyer be-
fore he became a college professor.
AS professor he taught law and po-
litical economy. He has been more
writer than teacher. His writings
proved his knowledge OF history and
craftsmanship. He was made the
head of a great university because OF
his executive qualities. and all of that
aside. he has made success In his
administration OF the Office OF Gov
ernor OF New Jersey.

HOME.

There's a dark little Hat, in poor H.
tie street
Where never a sunbeam falls,
And never the patter Of childrens feet
Is heard in the dingy halls.
AMI never a playful gnome;
The rooms are cold and the walls are
And silence broods in the dampened
air.
But somebody calls it Home.
There's poor little hut where the
smoke Is thick
And never a blossom blows,
Whese light that feeds on greasy
wick
In the evening feebly CLOVIS
And never an eye is gladdened there
BY picture or worthy tome;
The stove is cold and the floors are
bare.
But mother teaches her child a
And somebody calls it Home.
There's a splendid palace upon a hill
Where roysterers gather at midnight
to fill
The spaces with ribaId song.
And all is brilliant and gorgeous there
From cellar 10 lofty dome:
Within those walls. with their treas
ures rare
