THE SOCIAL CENTER

Social centers have come to stay,
The success that has attended the
experiments made, especially in
Visions y shows that the use of
school buildings for lectures, even
ing classes and recreational purposes
is a great blessing. In many in
stances such social centers are trans
forming the social and other life of
the community. The moral tone Of
the people is upliftad, local patriotism
is developed and a more wholesome
atmosphere created. There is no
reason why, in both town and coun-
Try, school buildings should not be
more fully utilized. They belong to
the people and the people should use
them for the purposes for which So
cial tcenters have been instituted. Es-
pecially in country districts would fre
quert use of school buildings be of
value. Fifty or more years ago when
singing schools and spelling bees
were the fashion they were more used
than now. The revival of their use
with additional features suited to
the present day would give a more
cheerful and social tone to rural lie.
One school building in a township
might profitably be made the town
chin cocial ceDter in which the Sc
cial and literary life of the neighbor-
hood could find adequate expression
tn the benefit of everyone. Certain

Natural Monopolles.

Twenty five years ago Ameri-
can cities still believed in COM

thought desirable for a city to
have two or three gas and cleo
tric i.sht and even Street-car

competition among them would
keep Hrices d0Wn. Nobody ROW
days believes in competition in
those things, and advocates or

Practically the whole country
Of late years has come to regard
railroad transportation as anoth-

body knows that for years there
has been no competition among
railroads as 10 rates, which are
fixed at a uniform schedule by
agreement among the roads.

the Democratic party did it all
by itself: yes, indeed. Yet the
Democratic vote alone was not
big enough 20 elect the public

the solid south" which is kept
solid for the party by disfran-

circumstances air yerry mathematician dam modderate--I can prove this by large collectsion of ernest and soicltus credlturs. But it is not rite for all the happyness to be cornered by one class; if happyness is to cum under the he'd of monopolies, there ought to be law against it. If the rich air rnizzerabull, let me share there sorrows. will not shirz my plain duty to my feller man-let him not weep alone-I am willing to weep with him at so much per weep-L think that | could develop into first class weeper under the proper fynansial inflew- ances. If the rich air unhappy think of the gloom and sorrow there must be pervading the homes of J. Peerp Morgan ,and John D.? And there is pore Andy Corneegy who must be suffering tortures.
 It's awfully strange though, that aftur feller gets rich and perfectly mizzerabull that he newer voluntarily returns to hap pyness. He just keeps rite on being gloomy and unhappy when he could easily be as gay as a lark A man who has five or six millyuns of intense sorrow keeps rite on pill ing up moor woe. Evvery move he makes carrys him further and further away frum unaffected joy and gayety. When he laffs and smiles you newer know that 1t is a pore mmytasion of litehartedness All the fun he is having is fourflushing. He goes gloomyly down to Wall street and puts ov- yer anuther big grab and sorrowfully goes home and folding the wife of his boosum- if she has returned fr1m Reno-to his chest, and teerfully tells her that they air mil lyun or so further away frum the uncon- fined joy of moderate circumstances, and that it is beginning to look like they can newer hope to be trewly happy. With grate fortitude she trys to bare up under he distressing news, and buys new $1O,- GOO limmosine, and boosts the limit at the next bridge party
 The only shadow on the truth of all this, is that such infermasion sits down to us through sorces that air not altogether au- thentick, leastwise they do not speek rum eXperyense. 1 always would take chanse, and l would cheerfully try one throw at being utterly unhappy if the opportunity presented itself, and have newer seen one of the theorists who argured otherwise, that turned down enny offering of reel mummy.
 Getting rite back to the start-we air ieolus, and that's all there is to it.
 Yours trooly,
