THINK WAR WILL
AID DEMOCRATS
Promptness of Party in Taking
Up New Problems Will Add
Strength in Campaigns.

Washington, Aug. 1f.-GrsduaIIy. a.
President Wilson and his advisers Der.
feet plans for relieving Americans
abroad and giving aid to the threaten.
ed American export trade. the vaeua
but general fear that the United
States might suffer as much from the
European war as the belIigerent conn
tries is giving place to a detailed studv
of the wars probable effects.
The shock of war will undoubtedlv
be felt with material force in the re-
motest corners of the world, but the
probable effects of the war on com.
ms-ce and industry have already been
sufficiently discounted by the efforts
of the president and congress TO give
room for curiosity as TO the effec; In
psychological directions.
Most democratic politicians in Wash.
ington are asserting and with apuar.
ent honesty, that one of these BY.
products will be the continuing in DOW.
er of a democratic house and demo
cratic senate. This feeling is partly
due 20 the promptness with which the
administration majorities in both
houses have set to work 10 prepare
American trade for the strain to which
it must be subjected. But, apart
from that, is the general feeling that
the middle of a rising stream is no
place for changing horses.
Democrats up to month ago did not
disguise their fear that one or both
houses might be lost. They were az
certain as the republicans that tbs
bulky democratic majority in the house
would be heavily reduced, and they
realized that a change of only four
seats in the senate would cost the con.
troll in that chamber. The majority
in the house will probably be reduced
as it is, and the democratic leaders
will not be sorry to have party discip
line in that way.
If half of the democratic strength OF
290 went home today the democrats
would still be able TO tie the house on
a full vote. The fight of the minority
against the party in power always de-
pends upon propaganda. But as long
as the European war lasts all propar
ganda will be practically impossible.
AS to the Mexican situation, the ad-
ministration has no further political
fears. For many months it was ad-
mitted that the policy Of watchful wait
ing was costing the administration
support throughout the country. but
the ultimate elimination of Huerta and
the gradual trend of events toward
settlement has effectively silenced all
such reports. There is still uneasiness
ac % 49,
Carranza and General Villa, but it is
not thought now that responsibility
for any break will be fastened on the
Washington government.

Gardens for Children

Miss Celeste Parrish, supervisor. OF
rural schools in Georgia, is the NOV
ing spirit in a campaign TO have
school children create gardens In the
back yards Of city residences.
The plan is an excellent one.
1t is well, as Councilman Ashley
suggests, to make the back yard as
ornamental and well kept as the front
yard Health and beauty lie IN that
direction
II the child can be given an intellf-
gent interest In gardening his life win
take on a fresh, an inspiring and a
broadening influence.
The idea is valuable, also. as incul-
eating habits Of industry and love for
the soil
The little money and time spent In
the innovation would return dividends
out OF all proportion TO the negligible

PLAN LIGHTING WITH CARE
System Means Much More to City
Than Seems to Be the General
Impression.

The city beautiful represents coop
erative effort ON the part OF individu-
ais. The merchant who tries to make
his establishment attractive and diff
ferent from the commonplace thrives
and prospers, and cities which have
done the same have attained their sue
cess through the consistent co-opera-
ton of such citizens.
Merchants associations and SINH
lar organizations should consider the
special problems Of their communities
exhaustively before deciding upon
lighting which may prove to be more
Of a hindrance than a help to civic
progress. 1t is absolutely necessary to
refrain from a narrow consideration of
lamp or lamps and, instead. to re-
gard light and it's accessories as part
Of its environment, Influenced greatly
by other than street light and depend
ent upon a careful adjustment OF
everything which has a direct bearing
on the general effect and it's difference
from the commonplace. The city de
luxe does not initiate, but originates In
its lighting as in all things.

CONTRAST IN BACK YARDS
They Are Side by Side and OF the
Same Size, But What
Differencel

From a seventh story window We
looked down on two back yards. They
lie behind houses of the same char
bounded by the same tight board
fences. There the likeness ends, says
the Milwaukee Journal.
One yard is bare and brown, with
patches Of mud here and there At
the back are two or three sheds not
yet actually out Of repair. but evident
ly hasting thither- Against them Ia
piled rubbish that has overfiowed the
original attempt to provide containers.
waste Of the space.
The other yard is carpeted with the
bright fresh green of the season,
through which runs a neat walk to or
derby sheds that show no signs OF de-
caying from neglect. Two little trees
give promise that some day there will
be cool shade on warm summer after
moons, a breathing spot in the midst
of the downtown district
1t isn't difficult to argue from the
difference in these yards the differences
in the people who occupy the houses
1t means a difference in habits of liv
ing, in ideas Of cleanliness and thrift
and even beauty. Sometimes children
play in the grassy yard, but the neigh
boring alley is more attractive thar
the muddy yard. And yet one nigh
be made as attractive as the other
not in moment, for neglect has gon'
too far, but with little care and al
tention, which could be found as read
lily by the dweller in one house as tn
dweller in the other.
