Frivolous Novels.

The frivolous novels are often
amusing and harmless, written by
people with no other aim than to
have the reader pass a eare-free
hour. But sometimes such novel
is made harmful TO the grill reader
by her own attitude towards it. says
a writer in the yNomanss World for
May. She takes the declaration OF
undying love onathe part of the hero
and heroine as the sort of thing ali
normal love should be. If the hero
and heroine are to be believed,
their love will be one continued sx-
istence on the high peaks. clothed IA
radiant clouds of love, haloed with
happiness: they have each other and
nothing else.
Real devotion there is plenty OF in
the world, fortunately 50, for other
wise life would not be worth living.
But there are great many other
things in the world too, such as work
and duty and sorrow and irritations.
No two people ever born were able
to live on the high peaks forever.

legs, and strip OF the clouds SO that
they. can have their feet free cor
pedestrian travel and their heads
free for humdrum work. They haze
to take on their haloes and put on
ordinary hats, and sometimes they
have TO put on crowns of thorns. But
any such two rarely forget that they
have dwelt for "a space on the
mountain peaks; itsais the memory
of it that sweetens all grief. And
sometimes, or even often. they are
able to return to the mountain and
in this workaday world. nothing
greater can be asked of life than
such occasional excursions.
Any girl. however, who thinks
that love can be taken apart from
work and duty and other people aud
woven into dream existence Tor
two. is making mistake which can
lead only to dlsappo intment both Tor
herself and her lover.

War ON Cedar Trees.

p West tvfrginians have declared
war on red cedar trees in order 10
protect orchards.
7 Last year the apple growers of the
great. Shenandoah valley region of
old Virginia and West Virginia lost
fully 100000 through damage done
by the fungous disease known as
cedar rust. This disease destroys
the color and surface appearance of
the apples and materially reduces
the size of the fruit. "A popularity

One Flood Benefit

1t is odd but gratifying to witness certain
Dayton newspapers, in the past stout champions
of Republican policies, demanding in sixty point
type that when the voters of Dayton go to the
polls at the city election they cast their ballots
for the initiative referendum and recall, as pro-
vided in the commission plan of government.
The Joe Cannon school of Republicanism
teaches that these principles and many others adj
vocated by the Progressive party are heresies
and the wild dreams of impractical reformers.
However one cannot help notice that with the
complete collapse of the municipal government
of Dayton, which was founded on the principles
advocated by the two old parties the flood-de-
moralized people of the Gem city Immediately
registered vigorous demand for a system
of government, responsive to the public will
through the initiative, referendum and recall.
And the bourbon press of Dayton is loudest
of all in it's shouts that the city must be rescued
from the gangsters who have flourished and
grown fat under system these same newspapers
SO long championed.
True principles of government will always
prevail though sometimes their triumph is only
accomplished through great public calamity,
such Dayton has just passed through.
Here's prosperity to Dayton, which has seen
the light, and may it's people soon have a flood
proof administration.

A Poor Way To Oil Streets

In previous years oiled streets in Richmond
have been tolerated for the sole reason that oil
is preferable to dust. There is doubt that oil
would not have been regarded as the lesser of
two evils had the proper methods been en-
ployed in treating the streets with this dust
preventative.
This year it was the popular understanding
that oil would be applied to the streets in the
correct way but if the oiling of North Tenth
street between Main and A streets is a sample
of the methods to be employed by the city and
private contractors, the board of public works
can expect deluge of protests.
In the first place North Tenth street was not
given thorough cleaning before it was sprinkled
with oil, and in the second place the street was
not closed to traffic until the oil had had a
chance to soak in thoroughly. The street today
resembles Shiny quagmire and the oil is being
tracked into the Westcott hotel and private
residences.
There is no demand on the part of the general
public that North Tenth street or any other
street be kept open to the public after oing and
the practice is highly obnoxious to the residents
on the streets which are being oiled.

Adding Goals To The Fire

Sent primarily on a mission to investigate
conditions of the japanese in Western United
States the four distinguished ENJOYS of the Mi
kado who have just arrived in San Francisco are
not tending to lessen the friction caused by the
anti-alien land law by their very undplomatic de-
nunciation of the measure.
In Hawaii which has an immense Japanese
population, these ENJOYS addressed mass meet
ing of their countrymen and took occasion to Wig
orousy announce that Japanese in American ter
ritory were not receiving fair treatment.
BY sowing these seeds of discomfort among
Hawaii's Japanese residents it would not appear
that the Toxic government could possibly take
any offense at the Washington governments &C
ton in increasing the Hawaiian garrison.
Since the arrival of the ENJOYS in California
they have been little more discreet than they
were in Honolulu, but at that their actions could
be regarded impudent by the state depart
ment if it so desired.
What gals the ENJOYS is the fact that Califor-
MIA has taken the position that the Monaghan
race is inferior to the Caucasian race and the re-
sentiment of the members of this delegation I'M
doubtedly is reflection of popular opinion in
Japan
The London Times, however, sharply reminds
the Japanese that the question they have taken
umbrage over is world question, not one which
merely involves Japan and the United States.
The attitude of the Times is of more than passing
interest inasmuch Great Britain is the ally of
Japan; also the possessor of colonies whose peo-
pies intellectually indorse the action of the
Calfornians. In part the Times says editorially
