What of 1914?

Minneapolis News: Pretty nearly
reformer. Reforming is the great
American pastime; a sport with new
er a closed season. There has been
one big trouble with our reforming,
though. We're so eager to reform the
other fellow that we forget to give it
a try-out ourselves.
New Years used to be a time of
personal reform. It's a pity the GUS
tom hasn't kept up. Ever though
good resolutions, made with the sin
cerest intent, soon fall by the way
side, tits better to have tried and fail
ed to turn over a new leaf than never
to have tried at all.
For the fun of the thing, let's do a
little s~upposing.
Suppose that in 1914 every one of us
stopped the use of strong drink,
stopped tobacco, stopped spending a
penny on vice n cut out unimport-
ant, catch-penny amusements. Have
you any idea of what it would mean?
Well, here's one thing that it would
mean. It would mean enough saved
to permit the building of 1,234,100
homes costing $4,000 apiece.
1t is fashionable in these times to
think that what we need to make life
easier and better is more legislation
lower tariffs. public control of credits,
trust busting, government ownership
Of many public utilities.
We complain of the high cost of liV-
ing. And rightly; for it's absurd that
the distribution Of wealth wrought by
our wonderful inventions should be so
unequal that while a few have infin-
itely more than they need, the many
have hard work to keep afoat.
Yet how many Of us realize how
much of the high cost of living is
really due to the cost of high living;
of c%ultivating q taste for things we
don't need?
Take your own case, dear sir or
dear madam. Have you ever tried the
Illuminating experiment of jotting
down, for d sample month, a list of all
the things O have bought, marking
opposite what each cost, and then,
with a blue pencil, crossing out the
Items which you could very well have
| lone without?
Not only do we waste money on
trivialities, but think also how large
Is our waste of time and opportunity.
Never were the facilities of education
so numerous, varied or accessible as
they are today. Nevertheless, mil
lions of us who might be studying for
greater efficiency, who might be pre-
pairing, as lincoln prepared, to climb
up from poverty, up from handicaps,
are living on a dead level, content
merely to work, play and sleep, our
tomorrows just like our yesterdays
and todays. .
So we suspect that 1914 Is going to
be pretty much the kind of year you
| make it. ...

THE SCULPTURE OF LIFE.

Ice-chained in its headlong tract
Have I seen a cateract,
All throughout the wintry noon,
Hanging in the silent moon;
All throughout a sunbright even,
Like the sapphire gate Of Heaven;
Spray and waves and drippings frore
For a hundred feet and more
Caught in air, there to remain,
Bound in winters crystal chain,
All above still silent sleeps,
While In the transparent deeps,
Far below the current creeps
Thus, m~ethought, mems actions here
In their headlong full career,
Were passing into a~dannant,
Hopes and fears, love. hate, and want
And the thoughts, like shining spray
Which above their pathway play,
Standing in the eye of day,
IN the changelessly heavenly noon,
Things done here beneath the moon.

What is the question of the hour?
The man of wealth says "Labor's

The brewer thinks The price OF

The broker answers estate of

The housewife says, with no mis-
giving 1.-THE increase in the cost of
living"
THE tango" declare moralists.
But Mexico" diplomatists.
The currency" the bankers sigh.
"|'Tis Panama." the English cry.
1.-The pennant race" the bleachers
boast.
"The Jap" says the Pacific coast.
1.-The tariff" politicians roar.
But Europe mutters Balkan war"

But every single one is wrong.

New York Sun: Paris-Thc motor
boudoir has arrived. \ new mode has
lately been started in Paris for
decorating the inside of closed cars
with ting oil paintings, which, mount
ed in suitable frames. are hung around
the inside.
There is a marked tendency in Paris
at present to evolve what may be call
ed the drawing o car. In the Bots
cars may be seen painted in such UNI
usual shades as h%elitrope or lilac, OF
which the interior has peer fitted to
resemble as much as possible Il tiny
boudoir.
Tho windows OF the cars are draped
with little silk curtains and dainty
lace blinds. Instead Of the ordinary
leather seats there are gilded arm
chairs of silk tapestry n brackets
for scent bottles. dainty powder boxes
and lip pencils. There are inlaid writ
ing tables that draw out from the
walls. Flower baskets are everywhere
and a midget bookcase holds a minia-
ture set of leather bound volumes of
light novels to bcguile odd moments
Of waiting outside shops. The motor
car has been transformed into a
boudoir IN wheels.

New York, Jan. 9.-The selection
of Miss Katherine B. Davis as the
correction commissioner of New York
City by Mayor John Purroy Mitchell,
who took office at the beginning of
the year, throws into the hands Of a
woman the management of a prison
system which Is more important than
that of many states. Miss Davis
Dr.. Davis-will, for instance, have
charge Of the Tombs, New York's
famous city prison. The county PEN
itentiary will also be under her con
troll.
Here will be q chance for reform
such as few women have had in the
history Of the world. The Tombs is
of the worst mismanaged institu-
tons Of the kind. Favoritism of all
kinds fiourishes. Perhaps every crime
known, some of them the most bestiaI,
is committed within It's walls, un-
checked by calloused keepers. Opium
smuggling Is one of the regular indus
tries. Bribery is the commonest
crime. No favors may be obtained
without paying for them.
