THE OpTIMIST.

Smile and the world smiles with you,
Cry and you cry alone,
IT'S but plain say, yet true
Now and for evermore.
Many-hued sparlzles life's prism,
Breaking the light in twain!
May be got the wrong slant,
Straining your eyes in vain.
Look at the bright side of things,
Short is your stay on earth,
Don't be a painful idiot,
Open your heart to mirth.
Laugh and the world laughs with you,
Sulk and you sulk alone,
Sooth it's blunt say, yet true.
Now and forever more,

Alabama Senator Says Foreign APP
pointments Largely Go

An unjust proportionment of ambassa-
doris. ministers and consular officers, in
which Southern States are practically I'M
represented. was the charge of Senator
Johnston of Alabama, in the Senate yes

inquired Senator Gallinger.

added sorrowfully, but IT looks like il
is going on very slowly" He offered
resolution. which went to committee,
asking for information as to those now
in the diplomatic and consular service,
declaring that many capable Southern
men had had no opportunity to enter
either service.
AS was to be egprcJed. politics cropped
out IL tue discussion. Senator Williams
of Mississippi remarking that by a
singular coincidence about three fourths
of those appointed under competitive ex-
animation represented the Republican
geography Of the country. There was
unanimity of opinion, however, that the
requirement as to knowledge of one for
eign language kept many good men out
of the consular service.

Son of Merchant Prince Suggested

of the Eighth Pennsylvania district yes
terday presented to President Wilson the

sylvania, as a candidate for the French

BLOW AT PULL" IN ARMY.
Promotions by Partially Prevented
by Order of Secretary Garrison.

Promotions in the army by Partially
and pull were dealt a death blow yes
terday by the issuance of a general Or
der by Secretary of War Garrison, which
provides that any communication seek
ing the promotion or transfer of an Off
Ger in a manner contrary to the general
regulations will be referred to the off,
Ger himself, who will be required to ex-
plain its origin and his connection
with it.
The orders issued in previous years
provide for the regular advancement of
officers.
IF the department heeds the importu-
mites of those who, by disobeying these
orders in letter or spirit says Secre-
tary Garrison. ARE enabled to secure
special treatment, the result is simply
to put a premium on disobedience and
to punish those who strictly observe the
orders"

REMOVALS WITHOUT
CAUSE ARE OPPOSED
Republican Senators viii Object to
Appointments that Are Purely
Political.

The Republican Senatorial caucus.
which for some time has been discussing
the attitude the minority should take
with respect to President Wilson's nomi-
nations, yesterday reached a conclusion
in the matter and issued the following
statement:
I'VE advise that the Republican mi
nority in the Senate use every reason
able effort to safeguard the consular
service of the United States and minor
diplomatic positions, including secre-
taries of embassies and legations, with
a view to the continuance of the policy
observed by the administrations of Pres
idents Roosevelt and Taft, under which
appointments have been made from an
eligible list made up of those who have
passed an examination to determine their
fitness for the consular on diplomatic
service. We believe the continuance of
this policy essential for the maintenance
OF the standing and efficiency of those
branches of the public service and that
any rule which justifies appointment to
the positions named without eXamina-
tons or authorizing promotions, unless
in accordance with due regard for quail
fications and efficiency, should be vigor-
ously opposed.
I'VE believe that the maintenance of a
proper standard in the public service re-
uuires that no removals should be made
from offices having a fixed tenure prior
to the expiration of the terms thereof
except for cause. We also believe that
removals from Offices of indeterminate
tenure should only be made for cause.
and that this particularly applies to
those in which special or technical quail
fications are required.
I'VE regard the action of the Demo-
cratic party in the last session of the
Sixty-second Congress in refusing, for
political reasons. to confirm appoint
ments of the President, made regularly
and in due course, tosbe without justifi-
cation and against sound public policy"

TWELVE HOUSES TO THE ACRE
New Building Regulation That Has
Recently Been Put In Opera
ton In England.

On Monday. June 8, the first town
planning scheme under John Burns
complaining act Of 1908 became OPP
erative. Before doing SO 1t had to
pass through various stages of APP
prevail by the local government board,
and also to run the gauntlet of the
houses of parliament.
The plan thus approved concerns
1880 acres In the suburbs of Birm-
ingham, upon which. according to the
law as established by these various
authorities, not over IL houses to the
acre may be erected. This measns
that, at about five persons to the
house, this suburb, laid out on the
best of lines, with open space In
abundance, will accommodate about
100000 persons.
In most American cities two-story
houses are erected about 40 to the
acre, and the average number of In
dividuals is five and two-tenths.
This would mean crowded popula-
ton of 482.560 on the area Of 1880
acres.

PARKS NO LONGER A LUXURY
Not Only Health Necessity, But Con
stltute Most Important
Civic Asset.

One of the latest cities to secure
general plan reports, joining in with
the leading American cities In secur-
ing such general schemes of develop
ment, Is New London, Conn. The re-
port, presented by John Nolan, of Cam
bridge, formerly of Philadelphia, con-
tains the following reasons why New
London and every city should acquire
parks:
There are at least four reasons
why New London should now act In
large way in acquiring and improving
land for use as parks and Fairgrounds.
~ Property is steadily increasing In
value 1t is not likely to be cheaper
than 1t is now. (2) Once bought, park
lands increase in value All other pub
lie works depreciate. Parks appreci-
ate. (3) Parks pay for themselves, or
more than pay for themselves, by ma
king new real estate values. Some ex-
amples in support of this statement
are given in the appendix. (4) A sound
park policy. vigorously pushed by pub
lie authority, soon brings rich gifts
| from private individuals. The history
of American city parks furnishes much
evidence in support of this tendency.
Cities that own few parks seldom re-
ceive gifts of parks. On the other
hand, cities like Hartford, Conn.,, that
have a long and honorable record in
public park-making, have an equally
long and honorable record of private
gifts for parks.
Parks are no longer considered a
luxury by growing American cities
They are classed with streets ano
sewers and schools as a necessity
They contribute directly to health and
efficiency, to pleasure and economic
wealth. Moreover. they stir and nour
ish civic pride"
