This action on the part of the rail-
road company strikes a deadly blow at
the welfare of the people living along

rates are, it is submitted practically
prohibitory. If put into erect, they
must inevitably result in a heavy addi-

creased railroad service in the near fu-

TEN Of land reform in the little village
of Winterslow, near London, has prov
ed the excellence Of the plan.
In 1899 Major Poore. father Of the
Duchess of Hamilton, secured posses
sion of the old village and some Of Its
e%nvirons and re-established a local
government practically identical to
that of the Saxons there more than
1000 years ago.
A Saxon village hundred was chosen.
and this primitive legislature allotted
land to heads of families under con-
tracts whereby the payment for the
land could be extended over q period
from fifty to a hundred years. These
plots surround a large common. which
belongs to the village. the grazing
right of which is held in perpetuity
by the villagers.
The village is now a self sustaining
community. and what vas started as
more or less Of d charity has proved
successful commercially. All Of the
villagers are free men In the old Sax
on sense Of the term, and the social
and political life Of the place, is based
on this assumption of equality. The
promoters have been chary of publicf-
ty 1pr fear that the plan might not
succeed. but since success has been,
assured they have. invited the leaders
OF the eovernnneftiand reform schemes

Perhaps the most noticeable Of the
small structures Of European streets is
the advertising column or kiosk, which
serves a good purpose. While such COL

are not familiar with their se, yet
since no large posters are allowed and
since public advertising Is % or less
Of a necessity, the columns are found
to be of real service to the public,
especially in regard to announcements
Of theaters and public meetings, by
which they are mostly occupied. Since
