THE VILLAGE POET

A correspondent sends word of a
poetical old shopkeeper who was al
ways doing kind things and saying
lovely ones. remember a spring
when he was having his shop repaint-
ed. He told the painter to leave a
certain corner untouched for the time
being; he explained that the young
people at that season did all their
counting there, and he didn't want
them to get stnudged.
But" objected the painter, these
young folks would be fools not to
know the smell Of fresh paint"
Young fellow" said the old shop
keeper, you've never had a girl,
that's plain. If you had, you'd knew
when folks are in love, everything
wet paint included-sme1ls like Yio-
lets and roses"

selves. The Herald philosopher
smits the following sage thoughts
on town building
mo one 10 coming to do il for
us; and, in tho whole history Of
creation. God has never built .
town. When He finished making
tho country, along in the early
twilight of the sixth day Of crsa-
ton, He looked it over and pro-
nouncsd it q good job; and If ws
want any improvement on tho way
He left things We will have to
make them ourselves. II want
q town We must build it. II We
want = clean town We must keep it
clean by our open efforts, and ii
We want . hsalthful town We must
keep 1t clean. If We arc to have O
town w can b proud Of. We must
have good streets and good side.
walks. We must keep our alleys
and vacant lots cleaned from
everything that will breed filth and
disease germs. These things cost
but they are worth what they cost

pinsss of living to have beautiful
surroundings, clean homes and

got in this world is the pleasure o.
having lived in it. and tho plea

could to make it q better place il

trtbution. AS Is always the case under
blanket patronage custom. the
offices suffer. So do the congressman.
Try as they will, they cannot make
everyone postmaster. Naturally. there
are grievances heaped up against the
evil day when the congressmen them
selves are firing of postofflce patron
age IL they are, 1t is not improbable
that additional civil service reform
will go through during the present
administration. Certainly there Is
need of reform, The need is manifest
in the large cities, as we'll as in the
small. The business of postmaster of
a city the size of Indianapolis Gin
cinnati, Detroit-most certainly of
great cities like Chicago. New York,
Boston and adelphla-reuuires
more than political training.
There may be a blessed day ahead
of us in which reform of all sorts
shall be an established fact. Then the
spolsmen will cease from troubling
the distressed congressman, and the
public will have the benefit of trained
men in responsible positions. Ger
tainly the sentiment of the country
is in favor of additional civil service
reform. Any change for the better
which Mr.. Wilson can bring about
will be welcomed
