walks; section 50. trash; section 10,
weeds. trash and filth; section 80.
automobiles being registered, ami
section III. blowing of whistles.
These ordinances are of very great
importance to the welfare of the city,
az several teams have been known t.
run away Of late and as merchants
on the outer edge of town are keep
ing their stores open for business en-
Sundays: also there are too many
Migrants throughout the city aud i:

the floating gang of the colored race,
It is a task to get q washerwOman OF
a cook.
1t seems that the alleys through
out the city are being used for 4
mere dumping ground for limbs
trees and trash; in some instances
bicycles are taking possession OF tn
Sidewalks; paper and other trash arr
being thrown on the streets; Their
are good many weeds Throughout,
the city on the streets rs well as Oh
the vacant lets; automobiles Owne
and run within the city are with
cut the city's number, and the blow
ing of whistles is very unnecessary
and . nuisance.
It is my desire that the pOlic'
force see that the above, as well as
Ill other ordinances of the city, arc
enforced at once.
understand that the city pound
will be ready for use within a few

Here's a Book

The Woman of the Twilight" by
Marah Ellis Ryan. published by A. C.
McClurg & Co, Of Chicago.
On the title page of the book the au-
thor adds to the title. the story of a
story" but this idea Is not carried con-
vincingly to the reader of the book
One is continually looking for some
thing which does not happen. and a
confusion of ideas results. Contrary to
what one would very naturally suppose.
the woman of the twilight is not the
heroine or the moving figure in the
book, she is sort of a lay figure a
appears only occasionally. The name
Of the story mentioned Is The Woman
of the Twilight" and since II is to
that which the title refers. there is
little to be gained by not putting quota
ton marks around II.
In her early teens a Mexican girl
Monica Is married to an American,
who is a friend OF her father. As she
is a mere child. she is put at once into
husband. who fits about Europe in
search of pleasure. She does not love
him, and finds when she has become
quite a young lady. possessed of rare
artistic talent. that she has fallen -
love with Sargent. the author OF The
Woman in the Twilight" a book writ
ten about her own home and people,
which she has illustrated. The T.
further concerns itself with their ef-
forts to disregard convention and live
together without the necessary decree
Of divorce which will free her. The
Illustrations, by Harrison Booth, are
good. The book Is not badly written,
hut so involved as to be irksOmely de-
manding OF close attention.

G. u len.

I as they listed, as persons who should
| be enjoying superlative Happiness.
"The happiest moment of our lives"
generally is an illusion created by the
glamour of Time. Could we experience
that moment again 1t is doubtful il we
could extract anything like the same
degree of Happiness from it. We
change with the flowing years. The
Happiness of last year would not be
the Happiness of the present time.
be, THIS moment Mere looking for
ward to Happiness is as fatuous as
barking back TO past happy moments
forward toward Happiness you find II
a distant and ever-receding peak In
that sense Happiness IS both elusive
and illusory.
Today's Happiness is tangible
asset. or can be made So We have a
chance to be happy tomorrow. But
We can make il a certainty that we
shall be happy today. Physical and
mental well-being-that Is Happiness In
a nutshell
It is not a marketable commodity.
There is no trafficking in 1t. But every
human soul has an equal chance to
possess IL in full measure. 1t chances
that the harpiest persons we ourselves
have known are those who make It
their business to think not very much
about themselves and great deal
about others.
But ttat is an exalted and ethereal
state of Happiness to which few OF
us have the chance to attain.

Swami Continuation, and give the President real
fight John Walter thought it over and finally repheo
that he didn't want the help. He had decided moi 10
fight; if the President wanted Swami, why 1t was all
right. He wouldn't make any opposition.
In due time the matter came up in executive ses-
sion, and Senator Smith cheerily assured that ne
was for Swami Everybody in the Senate and out
of it knew that he was nothing of the kind every
body knew that Swami had been picked as means
to cracking Smith and his chances over the neao
Everybody knew that Smith was making his last
effort to placate the White House. e.. :
When Baltimore heard of this there was a
change of front of the most remarkable Sort Inc
boys in the trenches, the machine huskles, the
heeers and rooters and boosters just fairly boiled
over with rage. Smith had run at the first smell OF
powder! The leader they had been following all
these years had ducked at the very first chance OF
fight! They had carried the State for Clark last
year, merely because Smith and the rest of the big
uns" wanted them to do it; they had pulled the un-
pleasant job that nominated German, and they had
gone to defeat with him; few had even had the
hard luck to 60 to Jail in connection therewtn
Altogether, the b'hoys had been mighty square and
loyal with John Walter; and when at length IT was
up to him to show them what scrapper he was
why, he just pusanimousy tucked his tail between
Ills legs dHQ ran!
Mad? The boys in Baltimore we're so mad that
now they are all denouncing Smith, and coming out
for Isaac Lobe Straus. For" they say, "Straus'll
fight, anyhow. He don't run"
1t looks seriously as if Smiths surrender might
result in the organization dumping him, and taking
on Straus. If it should do so, there is no telling
what might happen Straus, in addition to being
real scrapper with real nerve, has long record OF
being on the right side of things His enemies have
always been explaining that he wasn't sincere
but they have from time to time been forced to
catch up with his ideas and support the things in
whose advocacy he led.
If, with this record of progressivism, Straus
should now be taken up by the old organization,
there is no certainty what he might do. Maryland
might have almost any political experience in the
next year; and all because the huskies couldn't
stand it to see John Walter away from the first
fight he had had chance to get into.

THE man who tells you that Hap
piness is a will-o'-the-wisp there
by confesses that happiness has
avoided him. The god of Happi-
ness has a way Of evading those who
are not sufficiently enlightened to give
him their hospitality.
Not that the enjoyment OF Happi-
ness calls for any great amount Of en-
lightenment- 1t requires, rather. the
right degree Of receptivity. Happiness
Is elusive only in that it is a state Of
mind and therefore impalpable. Con-
sidered as a state Of mind, 1t Is suf-
ficiently tangible. Most OF US fall into
the mistake of viewing Happiness as
state of superior elation or exhilara-
tion. The truth Is that the most genu-
inc Happiness is that which is encom-
passed by calm state of well-being.
Happiness does not consist Of purple
Passages" Rather is 1t simply peace
of mind. the absence of worry. Also It
is highly comparative state. The man
just released from prison may not have
much to look forward to. But he is
exuberantly happy to be free. None
but those who have been deprived of
their freedom can experience his sort of
Happiness.

gsrded those who even though they
staggered under the burden of labor
and poverty. were free to come and go

WORKING FOR THE POOR.

Automobile tours of our best people by way of
studying the conditions and helping" the poor,
are now established as socially correct Correct,
indeed to-, the point where there is suggestion of
possible competition in the business.
Somebody in street ought to be enterprising
enough to display proper stunning costume for
the elect; and if the automobile agencies don't
rise to the opportunity to present the sociaservce
advantages of their various sanitary models as
stunning equipages, we will be vastly disappointed.
1t is fine thing for the poor, to be suddenly the
center of so much attention. If there is anything
the poor like more than anything else, it is to be
studied. If they don't move or open their eyes, poke
EN- carefully and tentatively with the point of your
silk umbrella. (The carved ivory handles are re-
garded this year rather swell than the pearl
and silver ones, but both worn by leading
slummers In poking them, it is we'll to be cautious,
as you would with the drowsy hyena in the circus
menagere Really, there ought to be placards around
the different sums like the please don't feed the
BEARS" and Don't hand the elephant a box of
snuff-its dangerous" that the old-time travelling
menageries used to display.
Meanwhile, with society studying the poor, the
sisators are busy Bills have been introduced to
condemn two of the most offensive slums and make
interior parks of them. What could be easier?
And when the slum-residents turned out, they
can start a new sum somewhere else, and after a
while we can ride around in our automobiles and
have it turned into another park, too It's going
to be great game, this of chasing the Very Poor
in automobiles from slum habitation to another.
Will not somebody put an end to the farce by
introducing comprehensive housing measure which
will start at the beginning of this problem, and
follow it along in something like logical fashion to
sensible solution? To turn the people of one
district out of their habtaons by force of law, and
then assume that private philanthropy with a
four-o clock-tea inspiration will take up collection
and build model tenements in time for these folk to
move init is Just bit too ridiculous.

THE WAY TO FIX BARNES.

A dinner was held in New York last night al
which q majority of the members of the Republican
State committee were present 1t was the sense of
the meeting and the substance of the speeches, that
William Barnes chairman Of the committee, and
member of the national committee, ought to resign
and let the party be reorganized along progressive
lines"
The speakers who favored this program in
cluded Herbert Parsons, Henry L. Stimson, Harvey
Hinman, Frederick c. Stevens and sundry others.
Mr.. Barnes has no possible notion of resigning
Perhaps the committee could remove him, but ne
doesn't think it could
If the progressive" element in the Republican
party in New York wants to get rid of Barnes and
Barnesism and all other bosses and bossism, they
ought to be out on the stump with Governor Sulzer
stumping for the primary law that the State must
have if the Government is to be given back into
the hands of the people. Making speeches at Mr..
Barnes, who didn't even pay them the respect of
attending to listen, much less reply will not get them
anywhere at all.
Sulzer is the man who is trying to solve this
question for the Republicans, as well as the Demo-
Gratis. Yesterday he showed letter from Theodore
Roosevelt, promising to speak with Suzer for this
reform. The progressive party is with Sulzer and
are together in opposition. The baked progress
sive Republicans who want Barnes ousted in order
that they may take the boss-shp in his place. are moi
serving any possible purpose. They must line up
with Sulzer and Roosevelt, and fight for real reform
or else confess that it isn't REFORM but CONTROL that
they want.

THE BI.PARTY COMBINATION.

Edgar Battle nominated for postmaster at Seattle,
is opposed for confirmation in the Senate on the
ground that while he is nominay a Democrat he
really represents the bipartisan and un-partisap ag
gregation of tories which is seeking to get back into
power in Washington 1t is charged that at the right
time documents will be adduced to prove that he
is being enthusiastically supported by the same old
Republican gang that perpetrated the steal of the
States delegation to the Chicago convention last
year; steal that was made good by the Republican
national committee and the credentials committee.
That means, of course, that Battle is simply the
ddate of the gangsters and grabbers of all partes
of the Guggenheims, the lumber barons, the Cum
ninphams, the Balngers and all their cheerful kind
President Wilson doubtless nominated Battle with
out knowing all these things. Perhaps when he learns
the full facts he will do the one straightforward,
frank thing that could be done in the premises
withdraw the nomination. The State of Washington,
struggling desperately for release from the bosssm
and the vicious domination that has held it so long,
ought to be entitled to encouragement on general
principles from National Administration of the
sort that this one claims to be-
