The New Street Law.

The new law passed by the
legislature empowering the city
council of all cities to
direct the building of streets,
cost of same to be borne bv the
property owners, as published by
us last week, has attracted
the widest attention. And the
gratifying feature is that there is a
most hearty endorsement of the law,
and dozens of the largest property
owners are advocating the building
of streets and sewers under this plan.
There is no way here to secure these
things unless paid for by the owner,
and he is really the one who should
pay, for he receives the benefits.
Under the old law, most towns,
with restricted revenues, could only
improve and maintain the principal
streets, and the outer bounds of
the towns received no benefits.
BY this plan, all streets may be
built up, and the cost will not be
burdensomc on any, as the cost is
divided between the owners on
each side. The councilmen have
the assurance of many of the lead
ing land owners that the law is
satisfactory, and the council is
being urged to plan a general
adoption of it, and inaugurate a
wide movement for the building of
streets as soon as the season opens.

PLAT0'S PHILOSOPHY.

Plato's philosophy. the lecturer said
comprehended every phase of thought.
He taught the rule of life, those basic
and eternal principles which transcend
events and time and place. Emerson
states that ''all philosophy since Plato
is but breakings-oH from the mother
lode"
AS the fruit of the discussions of the
life problem by the greatest school of
philosophers the world has ever seen, of
which Socrates, Parmenides, and Plato
were perhaps the central forces, the last
has presented, for all time, to the world
rules of living which, II followed. must
result in the evolution of & race of men
in whom the mind and the heart will be
balanced forces Alone. mind is a tyrant
and heart a fool. but when acting in

PREACHER SOUNDS.
NOTE OF PROGRESS
Rev. James s. Montgomery Talks to
Congregation on How Things
Can Be Turned Into Good.
MOSES AS A GREAT JUR1sr

An optimistic note of progress was
sounded yesterday by Rev. James Shera
Montgomery from the pulpit Of the
Metropolitan Memorial Methodist Church.
His theme was ''The Serpent and the
Rod" drawn from the parable that tells
OF how the venomous snake became In
the hands of Moses a rod Of power for
good. and he applied this to instances
Of how modern evils, so-called. might be
made benefits IL bent In the right direc-
ton. The drama was cited In illustration
Of the point. He said. In part:
I'VE shall not stop long, In the discus
sion Of our theme, on the frontier Of that
far-away country called the past In
this incident Moses. the jurist OF the
desert, put forth his hand, and the viper.
SO deadly, became q rod of authority In
the hands of divine purpose. We present
the centuries. one Of the worlds chiefest
intellects He lives while the buzz Of
many other voices has died out.
"'The serpent became a rod The
poisonous thing stiffened into a stan, and
that stan in the hands Of this good man
became a symbol of his power and an
instrument Of progress Touched by the
alchemy Of God Almighty. II at once had
the promise for all the people, like an
unseen sunrise.
1T is the way Of progress. The coal
tar IL transformed until Il throws on
the colors Of the rainbow and perfumes
rich are exhaled. which are Mt to drop
and drip from the rose gardens Of God.
Cannot the destructive agencies OF ma
ture be made to serve the happiness
and the comfort OF man? The applica-
ton Is with US.
when man Joins hands with God do
not the pernicious things often become
beneficent? Years ago q violin In the
church was q Pandora's box, and the
organ the same. The voice OF the
preacher growIed and criticized them in
tones falling through muffed beard and
sounded like the gurgle OF water COM
ing through a long-necked bottle. To-
day the serpent has become a rod and
the preachers face Is an aurora OF
smiles and Is almost lifted to his feet
as the sweet strains OF music float and
surge about his pulpit"

RELIGIOUS BELIEFS
TITLE OF SERMON
Rev. John Van Schaiok, Jr., Tells
Congregation to Let Non
essentials Go.

The appeal Of the age Is to let non
essentials 20 and get together" de-
clared Rev. John Van schaick, jr.. in 4
sermon on Religious Beliefs" at the
Church Of Our Father, Universalist. yes
terday.
In all the great world religions there
Schaick said. TN all there is q con-
sciousness of a Supreme Being and q
recognition OF human obligation.
The favorits theme of the age Is the
fundamental theme of the race. There
are, however, some great oppositions in
religion. 1t is important to emphasize
these where they are real Every
stands that men may know whether
they belong with II or not.
so far as belief Is concerned. there
are only two kinds of churches. First,
those which get their belief by an ap-
peal to authority; second, those which
get their belief by the witness OF the
spirit within.
The argument for a pope or bishop
or Bible Is attractive. 1t says We need
We can have II all for practical work.
But It is an argument for intellectual
laziness
The argument for the appeal OF the
voice within does not disregard sacred
men or sacred books. II listens and
studies with an open mind. But when
a final decision Is to be made II says
no real man will abdicate his throne.
In the last analysis, head and heart,
mind and soul. reason and intuition to-
gether must decide.
Man must decide the questions OF
his relationship to God.
I'VE belong to the fellowship OF the
free We accept neither Protestant nor
Catholic dictation. We welcome truth
handed down by pope or reformer. But
we reserve the right to accept or re-
iect as God bears witness to US by His
spirit in our souls"

SALONIKI SAME
AS In PAUL'S DAY
Writer Tells of the City that Has
Had More Than $500 Years of
Continuous History.

The city We now call SalonIki has had
a continuous history for more than 25Oo
years, says a writer in the Christian
Herald. Even before It was refounded
and renamed by Alexander the Great, in
the year 315 B. c.. city had existed on
this beautiful gulf, facing mighty Mount
Olympus.
But its known history dates from this
year, when Alexander rebuilt IL and called
II Thessalonica, after his sister, the wife
OF Cassander. II is said that Philip, Of
Macedon, named, his daughter Thessa-
lonice. because On the day he heard Of
her birth he won a victory over the
Thessalians. Thus the victory of Philip
and the name OF his daughter, the half
sister Of the conqueror OF the world, are
all embalmed in the name Of the city.
A great city with its harbor full Of
shipping, it's white houses rising in tiers
one above another from the edge Of the
water to the summit OF the acropoIis be-
hind the city, and around all a white wall
FIVE miles in extent. Through the heart
Of the city stretched forth the great artery
of trade. the Egnatian Way. At the east
ern end It passed under a magnificent
marble arch. which was built in honor
of the victory Of Octavius and Antony
over Brutus and Cassius in the battle that
took place on the plains OF Philippi.
Fortunately for Thessalonica she had
sided with the monarchists against the
republicans in this battle, and when II
was over both Antony and Caesar visited
the city and commemorated their triumph
by erecting the Arch OF Victory, which
remains to this day. Under this archway
doubtless Paul and Silas passed many
times during their somewhat lengthy stay
in the city.
1t has been my privilege more than once
TO visit Saloniki, to enter 1t from the sea
as one journeys from Athens. and TO leave
by the route by which Paul entered Il on
his first visit. 1t is interesting TO note the
OF the city. which are the
same now as in Paul's time, as well as the
changes which the centuries have
wrought.
