 No distlnCtively American style has arisen, and the average American home remains as ugly and us undistinguish- ed as a Zulu kraal In its essence 1t is simply a square box. And from that archetype it proceeds upward. not through degrees of beauty, but through degrees of hideousness. The more It is plastered with ornament the more vulgar and forbidding it becomes. The more 1t is adorned with color the more that color becomes q madness, a de- bauch, a public indecency.
 Take a train ride through any Amer ican state and you will be sickened by the chaotic ugIiness of the fitting yillages-houses sprawling and shape less, huge advertising sign upon every dnt wall. an intolerable effect of carelessness, ignorance, sQualor, bad taste and downright yiciousness.
 But make the same sort of journey through France or Germany-say from Bremen to Munich or from Paris to Lyons-or through Austria or Italy or Switzerland, and you will be charmed by the beautiful harmony visible on all sides. the subordination of details to general effects. the instinctive feel ing for color the sound grouping, the constant presence of a tradition and style. The design of the peasant houses changes twenty times between i the Westphaian plain and the foot hills of tbe Alps, but in every change there is subtle reflection of the physical environment an uumistakable expression of human aspiration. world | ly estate and character.
 l don't know any ugly village be- tween Bremen and Munich, nor even village without its distinction. its special beauty, its individual charm, But I don't know of a village between Washington and Chicago that is not frankly appalling. Set.

Just When the Ohio Town Was Going
 to Be Called TapPan.
 Shortly after the Revolution Benja- min Tappan. son of wealthy Boston merchant and the original owner Of Thgt is now Portage county, O., en. tered his Tgther's tract in the west md snent the winter ttiiae9e, Other set tiers joined him. and a settlement was begun, which had the dignity or a town at time when single log cabin at each place marked the present sites of the cities of Cleveland and Buffalo. The place was one of singular natural beauty. and the question of a name soon arose.
 Now. it happend that at this time younger brother of Benjamin Tappan's and his wife were in Italy and came upon the old town of Ravenna De lighted with the place, the young bride expressed to her husband the wish that somewhere in the new world there might arise town worthy to bear the name of the wonderful old Italian city
 The husband immediately thought of hls brother in the Ohio wilds and at once dispatched a letter in which he pictured the beauties Of the Italian city and expressed the wish that the town then arising in the wilderness be named in its honor.
 Many months later Benjamin Tap pan. despairing of finding a suitable name for the town. was about to yield to the wishes of his neighbOrs and be- stow the name of Tuppan upon 1t when the letter arrived So, instead of Tappan, the town was named ha- venna. which name 1t still proudly bears.-Ladies' Home Journal

ALBANY AUTOISTS
WILL REFUSE TO PAY
Sign an Agreement to Resist Payment
OF License Unless Money Is Spent
on Linn County Roads.
albany Evening Herald,)

The automobile owners of Linn
county have decided thai they do not
care to pay auto license money into
the state fund for general purposes
and that they will not pay the license
for the year 1913 unless the money
collected in Linn county is expended
in road work in Linn county. The
agreement heading is as follows:
This agreement made and entered
into by the undersigned automobile
owners of Linn county, Oregon, shall
be in full force during the year 1913,
to-wit:
We and each Of us hereby agree not
to pay our automobile license for the
year 1913, and in case suit is institut-
ed against any one of the undersigned
by the secretary of the state or any
other legal collector, we do hereby
agree to stand our proportional share
of expense to test the legal right of
the state to collect said license We
and each of us agree to pay said IL
cense provided said license shall re-
main In Linn county and is used for
the purpose of improving the public
highway Of said Linn county.
This agreement to be in full force
and effect after being signed by a ma
jority of the automobile owners of
said Linn county"
A special committee from the AL
bany Commercial club went to Salem
several days ago to confer with the
legislative committee on auto legisla-
tion in regard to the same points but
evidently that was not sufficient for
he promoters Of this agreement. 1t
is stated by some of the more enthu-
siastic ones that the license law is un-
constitutional anyway and that the
state will not attempt to collect, but
of course this remains to be seen and
it would seem that as the auto men are
generally willing to pay a license fee
provided the money is used for build
ing better roads, the proper way would
be to draft a model law and insist
upon It's passage.

prosperity of community is ineXtri-
cably bound up with it's transporta-
ton facilities.
H. The public is a part owner of
the railroad. In 1909 the number of
stockholders was estimated at 440, 900;
the ownership of railroad bonds was
traced to over 100000 persons. Many
Of these are women, and the holdings
Of most are small-an average, 1t is
thought, Of about $4,000 at say per
cent, To this extent the financial in
terests Of many are directly bound up
with the welfare of the railroads and
their income, to some extent, turns
about fair treatment at the hands of
legislators.
III: The employees Of the railroad
are a part of the general public. They
number nearly or quite 100000, and,
as many of them have families, the
aggregate who depend for support
upon the railroad is very large. For
every dollar earned by the railroad, it
was shown in 1909, AZ cents went
directly to pay the wages of railroad
employees, The proportion for an indi-
vidual road, as the Southern Pacific,
and for this later date would be con.
siderably higher

Although Governor West had pro-

February II a holiday on the road to
passage, there was no official observ-
ance of Lincoln's birthday in PEN
dleton yesterday. The banks, busi-

all open during the entire day.
In commemoration of the anniyer-
sary of the birth of the Great Eman-
cipator. the public schools held appro-
PIRATE exercises. At the high school
in the morning, an hour was devoted
to tribute and eulogy of the man who
holds distinctive position in the his
tory of the United States. Editorials
dealing with the qualities which rais-
ed Lincoln above his fellow men and
made his memory sacred were read
by Miss Frances Smith and Ernest
Crockett. Joe Despair delivered the
famous Gettysburg grafton of the
martyred president, while Paul Fin
nell recited his second inaugural ad-
dress. Both were presented in a
splendid manner. Principal A. c.

ter of Micolay's Life of Lincoln" and
commented upon it TO the students.
Patriots songs were sung by the
students at both the opening and
close of the exercises.

JURYMAN SAYS R. R.
co. is TO BLAME

Though the coroner's jury that yes

Grubb brought in a verdict eXonerat-
ing the trainmen from blame it was
the general sentiment of the jury that
the railroad company itself is blam-
able in the matter, according to T. ].
Tweedy, who served as member of
the jury and listened to all the evil
denCe.
THE jury members did not say so
in their report but all considered that
the railroad company has been neg
lectful in not placing a gate or other
safeguard at that crossing" declared
Mr. Tweedy this morning.
1t is freely predicted that the kill
ing of the little Grub girl will cause
the railroad to take precautions
against further accidents of this sort.
