THE OFFICE LOBBY.

senator CnuTCH, Vi tHlS CouhIy, 10
quoted as saying that all the button
holes in his coat had been worn
out by the importuning Of
fee holders and seekers, the form
er in the interest of bills to raise
their salaries and the latter in behalf
of bills to create Offices for them to
hold. He referred in scathing terms
to the "office lobby"
The senator is fully justified in his
impatiepce. There has probably new
err been a time when members o. the
legislature have been so "pestered"
by Office holders wanting better pay
or persons who want office. 1t is pit
liable to see the struggle at Nashville
for place and pay. Men seem u be
obsessed with the idea that govern
.aents were instituted for the sole and
My purpose of providing Office and
that taxes are levied for the exclu-
sive purpose of paying officials fat
salaries Tho waste and inefficien-
cy in government are simply appall-
ing.
Already Tennessee is paying its
employees literally. There are num-
Der of subordinates at the car;tal
that are already getting much larger
salaries than they could possibly earn
in private employment. Clerks are
being paid twice as much as they
would get for similar service at
Washington and no one has accused
Uncle Sam of being nigardly with his
employees. But they are not satisfied.
Members of the legislature are cen
stantly held up and bedeviled and
importuned to dig a little deep
er into the peoples purse in
order to satisfy the longings of the
pie hunting craft.
A bill is pending to pay the expens-
es of circuit judges to the amount Of
$3.50 per annum. 1t has been only
four years since the salaries of these
judges were saised from $4,000 to
$4,000 and on Sept. 1, of next year
they will be still further Increased
to $4,000. This is an increase within
asur years of fifty per cent. And yet
tAe judges are not satisfied. AL
though they were elected we'll know
ing the pay provided and the services
required, they have friends In Nash.
Vile importuning the legislature to
dig little deeper into the pockets Of
the people to further line their self
1sh pockets This is bill that
should be killed and killed with EN-.
Dhasls, 1t has absolutely no merit.
III the judges who are anxiously
awaiting an increase Of pay cannot
live upon the salaries now accorded
them let them resign and return to
the practice OF the law where their
valuable (?) services will be fully
appreciated. But we do not propose
to hold our breath until they accept I
his challenge
1t is an easy matter to vote away 9

VINE ALWAYS A BEAUTIFIER
Harshness of Architecture Relieved by

A house very often reminds one Of
huge box set down in the midst of
a landscape with which it is wholly
out of harmony. To overcome the ef-
feet of it's rising too abruptly from the
site. one should plant shrubs about the
foundation, to fill in the hard angle
between ground and walls. To tie the
house to the ground, in effect, to COW
er the corners and other straight lines,
thereby relieving the architecture Of
its harshness, softening and harmon
izing all, this is the mission Of the
vine-natures mantle of perfection
hiding the huge piles of ugliness rear.

himself into believing are master.

EVERYTHING IN THE PLANTING
Trees Designed to Grace Streets Must
Be Put Down With the Utmost
Attention to Detail.

Now that street planting season ts
at hand 1t is pertinent to put forth our
annual warning about hesty and care
less planting Of street trees. Owing
to the narrowness Of the parkways,
street trees do not have one-fourth the
chance of growth and development
found in the open field, and therefore
most excellent preparations should be
made. Dig all holes for trees both
large and deep-it matters little how
large-all trees will thrive better with
increased size of hole. Nature has
been compacting the soil for millions
OF years; after being dug up it will
take many years to again become as
har" as before even though no fer
tilizer or other subject Is mixed with
the soil before replacing in the hole.
Wel-rotted stable manure is always
a good material to mix with the soil
whether the latter be light or heavy
in texture The nearer either ex-
treme 1t comes, the greater such need.
Refill the hole, settle with water and
in a few days or a week plant your
tree. During a street tree convention

a dollar to spend for tree, would
rather put 10 cent tree In 9O-cent
hole than a 90-cent tree in 10-cent

Dancer In Town Wells.

At Towson, Md, a strenuous cam
paign is being waged against typhoid.
with the result that Of 134 wells in the
town only four are to be left open
by the board of health. Is it wonder
full when such shocking conditions can
develop that the United States ranks
far below other civilized countries in
it's typhoid record?
Some of the condemned wells may
still be used for cattle provided the
pumps are kept locked when the
trough Is full. Violation of this rule
will be punished by "denaturing" the
water with coal oil. Water Is the best
of drinks, but it can be as dangerous
as any and it seems an almost impos-
sible thing to persuade the public to
take the simple precaution Of boiling
all drinking water or else sticking to
tea and coffee.-Springfeld Repub-

NEED FOR INDIVIDUAL WORK
Civic Organizations Have Great Part
to Perform In Creating City
Beautiful.

A great part of the task OF bringing
back the country into the town must
necessarily be done by local pub
lie authority. To influence them to
do the work courageously needs the
formation of strong and sound pub
lie opinion. We have to create an
enlightened sentiment, which will give
full weight to the value of human
health and happiness. After all,
man is worth more than a bank vault.
The making of good and healthy men
and women is the first consideration
of all.
But public authorities alone must
not be relied upon to do the work.
The machinery of governments is too
slow, complicated. and heavy to do S8
that is required in the best way. We
need also the inspiring effect of indi-
vidual work in voluntary organiza-
tions. These pioneer the way long
ahead of the possible action of pub
lie authorities. They find out what
is wanted to be done and how to do
it. They educate all of US VINO take
any part in the work, however small
the part may be. They create the very
public opinion We need in order to
bring about in our cities a full reunion
of country delights with town ad-
vantages.

Normal Weight of a Child.

The average weight of a boy at
birth is II pounds, of a girl, seven
pounds. Whatever the weight, the
child loses the first three or four
days but should regain it's weight
by the fourteenth day; then the
weekly gain should be from five to
eight ounces. until the fifth month,
when it falls to 81 to seven ounces.
The child's weight should be doub-
led at FIVE months and trebled at
fifteen months. A small book in
which the weights are entered will
prevent mistakes and be interesting
later. Progressive Farmer.

The Song and the Singer.

Weary and fretful faces
Were about me everywhere
In the overcrowded street-car,
With it's hot and sitting air.
Faces that ed, ] fancied,
To ask, Is life worth while?"
Too tired, with days work over,
To ever try to smile.
A man in the farther corner
All at once began to sing,
His song was as sweet and simple
AS that of birds in spring.
Grim faces frightened to hear it,
And the music of its strain
Made glad the hearts that heard IL
AS parched fields rejoice in rain.
The song of the unknown singer
Was like a cool, sweet viii d
That blows through the dusty city
And leaves it's spell behind.
1t told Of the kiss of welcome
That waits at homes open door,
And the faces Of those who listened
Grew bright and glad once more.
O comrade mine, when weary
With the burden and heat of day,
Let's sing like the wayside singer,
And sing our cares away.
Let's learn. for the sake of others,
A song that is blithe with cheer,
And hope thata smile, as we sing IL
May take the place of tear. =
