 Also the mayor announces that permanent paving commission will not be permitted to handle the construc to of these pavements but that the work will be done through his director of public works.

DEATH OF ALLAN W. PAIGE

Romance is not dead nor adventure ended. Allan w. Paige, whose death while relatively young took place Chicago, Sunday, filled with romantic ac1v ity As young Mr. Paige bounded from obscurity the clerp of the House of Representatives of his native state force of industry dogged
 imitation and stubborn intelligence He served later both branches of that ancient body, and speaker therein during famous session when the Democratic and Republican partes all but armed sought to prevail in the state
 It was not as lawyer, or legislator however, that Paige gained his greatest fane but dominant intel gent successful member of the third house, during mechanisms of society, and that utility was struggling for realization in an inhospitab1e state.

 that not three per cent. of them call for any learning or ability on his part, and yet he gets $7,O0O a year. Just think of it," said Donovan, "$7,0OO year for 1ife!'

 Every one is familiar with the story of the native who when asked by a rising statesman, on casual visit to his boyhood home, what the people said when they heard that he had been appointed to a foreign mission, an swered, .@They didn't say anything; they just laughed" Some one under took to tell that old story when in formed that James M Sullivan had been appointed Minister to San Do mingo. The story doesn't fit. The ap- pointment is no laughing matter.

He got an al1-round development, if ever a man did, through this varied asso- citation. He has the Irish gift of dip lomacy. His abilities of a certain kind which are useful in a diplomatic po- sition are considerable Besides that, 1 he has growth, both in physical girth and in mental breadth and in personal | adaptability to situations, a great deal since he left us.

PRISON SCHOOLS.

That even prison life is yielding to modern manitarian impulses is indi- cated in the number of prisons that are maintaining schools for the bene- fit of prisoners. Out of 55 prisons in the United States and Canada re- porting to the United States Bureau of Education, A have schools. Tn s3 of these a civilian head teacher Is in charge. Altogether there are 27 even ing schools. 19 day schools, and 8 cor respondence schools. Both academic and trade subjects are taught.
 In arguing for schools in prisons, Dr. A. c. Hill, of the New York State education department, who has pre- pared a bulletin on the subject for the United States Bureau of Education, points out that there are three ways of handling a man whom the courts have pronounced unfit to remain in society: First, he may be put to death at once; second, he may be slowly killed in a destructive environ ment; third, he may be placed in a favorable environment and restored to normal health, if possible
 Prison schools represent an attempt to apply the last of these methods, according to Dr. Hill Schools in prisons are the expression of the high est conception yet formed of the prop CT way to deal with men and women segregated from society for violating it's laws,'' he says. They are an out growth of the belief that the door of hope must never be closed to any hu- T1a afa tunity. They are humanitys offer ot help to overcome the inertia and des- pair that settle down upon a man dis graced and deprived of his liberty" Prison libraries form an important educational factor, and special atten- tion is given to them in the Bureaus bulletin. pr. Hill notes that there is usually plenty of books, but that the quality of the reading matter is sel- dom satisfactory. He cites the opin. ion of H. H. Hart, of the Russell Sage Foundation, that mot one prison 1T ten has a suitable selection of books third unreadable books and one-thirt l thrash

SCRAP BOOK FOR TO-DAY

It Is generally admited-especia11y by campaign orators in rural districts that the most useful citizens of any nation are the farmers. What would the world do without it's farmers?'' in- quire the stump-speakers, the obvious answer being that the world would quickly have that a1lgone feeling in it's tun-tum. Therefore let us celebrate today the birthday anniversaries of two eminent farmers.
 Thomas Staples Martin carries on his agricultural activities on a farm two miles from Scottsv1l1e, Va, where he was born sixty-six years ago today. Farmer Martin has resided on that particular farm for just sixty years except for the periods he spends in Washington, where he is a Democratic leader in the United States Senate, and the chairman of the powerful and puissant committee on appropriations. Farmer Martin served with the Con- federate army as member of tho famous battalion of cadets from Vir- gfnia Military Institute. Although lawyer and active in politics, he never held office until sent to the Senate in 1895. His election as Democratic leader of the Senate a, couple of years ago was in spite of the determined opposition of William Jennings Bryan, who denounced the Virginian as re- aetionary.
 aEIQ0E W11IIdIn C. BTOWns fW4O IS president of the New York Central railway system as side line, passes his sixtieth milestone today. He owns one of the finest and most productive farms in Iowa, and it is said that he makes more out of agriculture than raiIroading, although his salary as president of the New York Central is by no means a. small one. He spends three or four months of each year in Iowa, and has taken active in terest in improving agriculture in that state He began his railway service wooding engines on the Chicago, Mil waukee & St. Paul in 1869 and after ward was a section hand and telegraph operator on that road. In 1890 he be- came general manager of the Hanni- bal & St. Joseph and Kansas City, St. Joseph & Council Bluffs roads, and held similar positions with other west ern systems before he was made presi- dent of the New York Central four years ago.

THE HUMAN PROCESSION

Dr. Max Simon Nordau, most tren- chant of Jewish writers, and equally famous as physician, scientist, orator, critic and Zionist, was born in Buda- pest stxty-four years ago today. The author of tDegeneration,'' "Conven- tiona1 Lies,'' and other powerful works, has lately given the world his opinions on the suffrage movement. He be- Heves in the ballot for the fair sex, and found much to praise in the mili- tants as long as they carried on war according to the rules of war; Later manifestations, such as the destruc- ton Of private property and attacks on individuals, are bitterly condemned by the eminent Jew, although he in sists that the object of the movement should not be damned because of the actions of isolated termagants." He predicts that 'tthe present century will most likely behold many feminine cabinet minister who will bear her ministerial portfolio with the same elegance that she now carries her muh.''
 Booth Tarkington, whose latest nov el, ''The F1trt,'' is the first in several years, was born in Indianapolis forty four years ago today and still resides in the Hoosier capital. He made his first great success as a fiction writer with ''The Gentleman from Indiana fourteen years ago. MT. Tarkington's s first wife divorced him in November, 1911, and year later he married Mrs Temple Robinson, the divorced wife of an English playwright. Writing is not easy work for the Indiana novel ist, for he is a slow and painstaking workman, and subjects every phrase to careful revision.
