Observation of Arbor Day will
occur at Ye Village school next
Tuesday, consisting mainly of
class work, as we understand.
We would like to suggest that
it is near time -tkat something
was being done to plant some trees
on the lot, after a lapse of some
twenty OF more years. A full half
block of land, or more, however,
should be first acquired by the
school board for this purpose.

Press Comment.
: A SOBER VIEW.

New York Herald: Are conditions
in this country-the condition OF the
country taken by and large, the con-
dition of the people as a whole, or the
condition Of any element of the popula-
tion-"worse than ever before?'
The question answers itself.
There never was a time in history
when prosperity was so marked in the
United States or when 1t was so gener-
ally diffused as it is today.
Take the poor farmer" for whom
the politician is so solicitous about
election time. Was the American
farmer ever before so prosperous!
Fifteen or twenty years ago the man
who would have dared predict this day
of motor machinery, telephones. auto
mobiles. free rural delivery, parcel post
among the ordinary accessories of the
farm would have been looked upon as
crazy.
The farmer of today has but one
cause OF complaint. occasionally scare
ity of labor. What does this mean?
1t can only mean that other avenues Of
industry furnish much more profitable
opportunity for the type Of labor that
used to go to the farm.
That is the fact Labor, skilled and
unskilled, has far greater opportunity.
and at much better wage, than ever
before The American workingman is
paid higher wages in all lines than
have ever been paid in this or any
other country, and he is saving his
money. Savings bank deposits showed
an increase Of one thousand millions
of dollars for 1910 over 1905, and the
increase has gone steadily on.
Mr.. Rockefeller and Mr.. Morgan
enjoy no greater luxury Of living than
they did ten, fifteen or twenty years
ago, but the standard of living of the
wage Garner in every line of endeavor
has greatly improved, and continues
to improve.
To the half thinkers who persist,
usually for self aggrandizement OF
some sort, in preaching the gospel of
pessimism, we would say: Look the
facts in the face No good can come
from Misrepresentation. Tell the
truth. ..' 49,
OF course, every man hasn't all the
money he wants. That millennium
has not arrived It never will.
But the country is not going to the
"houwOwS"

THIS Is NOT PROGRESSION.

President-elect Wilson in an inter-
view last night said he will pick only
proxressives to help him. He could
see no signs of division in the party,
but foresaw solidarity. "Those demo-
Gratis" he said, "who hitherto have
been slow to align themselves with
the progressive element of the party
are everywhere yielding The business
men of the country, too. are swinging
around to an unself1sh and broader
view of their duties to the people.
In another column OF the newspapers
was IN article stating that ian amend
ment to the postoffice appropriation
bill to annul executive orders placing
assistant postmasters and clerks IN
first class offlces and all fourth class
postmasters under the classified SER
vice was adopted by the house sitting
"A 4 committee Of the WHOLE MI.
Wilson here has evidence that while
democrats everywhere may be joining
the progressive cause, the members OF
the democratic majority in the house
do not seem to be among the liners.
OF course, Mr.. Wilson may believe
that this move to abolish the merit
system is progressive" He hasn't
been quoted on that subject. 1t Is DIFF.
ficult, however, to see how he could
take such a position.
The postoflice has been put on
business basis through the workings
OF the civil service. Anyone who Will

to Tie emciency of the active postal

THE SALOON CONSENTS.

The city council at It's meeting to-
night will pass upon number OF ap'
plications for saloon permits. Such
permits, il granted, may run only for
. few months, or may run five years,
depending upon the outcome of the
appeal from the board of supervisors
action in declaring the saloon consent
petition sufficient. There is need.
however that the council should ex.
ercise as much care in granting these
permits as If there were no court case
pending in which the saloon question
is involved. AS the peoples repre-
sentatives the aldermen should see
that the peoples rights are preserved
that the people are protected from
the danger that will follow the In
discriminate granting of saloon
licenses. .
The council should absolutely disre-
gard all States prepared by any In
trests. Licenes to operate saloons
should only be given to men In whom
the aldermen have confidence. No
applications should be considered from
men who are known to be law
breakers.
Moreover, no saloons should be al
lowed on South Market street, the
main thoroughfare leading to South
Ottumwa. Ottumwa citizens have ex.
pressed themselves in no uncertain
terms as opposing, saloons on this
street No saloons that were oper.
ated In such q manner as the Log
Cabin saloon and the saloon at the
corner Of Main and Wapello streets
should be permitted. Saloons should
not be opened in the outskirts Of the
city. The council should use care in
flying saloon locations as well as in
granting permits. ,...a.
Finally the city council should make
1t plain and emphatic that licenses will
be revoked If the, law is violated. The
city council has the power to revoke
licenses as well as to grant them and
IL lakrant violations of the law occur
It can only be because the city author
tiles permit them, so long as the city
has the right to use it's power to re-
woke licenses as weapon to compel
compliance with the law. r,
