GOING FARTHER OUT.
Increasing Desire to Live Away From
the Center of Cities.

From the Cleveland Leader.
One of the foremost architects in the
United states declares that the city house
is becoming obsolete. He says that gen
orally desired home environment, a coun-
try residence. is rapidly being made avail
able for the great majority of people,
and that before many years practically all
of us will live IN the country.
There is much evidence In support Of
this contention. The drift of household
ers toward the country from all the large
Cities including Cleveland. is pronounced.
New York has changed so much in this
respect that 1t is possible to foresee 1t
I'm the next few years essentially an i'm
mense colony OF business establishments
and hotels. Suburban dwellings are reach
ing out from 1T for a distance of 30 miles,
and for several hundred miles around It
country homes are being maintained.
This means Transformation of the gen
eral method OF living. made possible by
the electric railroad the automobile and
the telephone. 1t means better housing.
Retail traffic Is affected since its exist
cnce depends upon close contact with the
buyers. The movement may even become
so general that many factories will event
ually 90 out into the country and group
their workrlcn about them instead of con-
gcstng in the city.
The new idea is important to Cleveland
because. large as Its corporate area is. Its
residence districts are already we'll occu-
pied and thousands of the workers and
| business and professional men are living
| beyond it's boundaries, while more are
J following them every day.

Snow Will Not Guench Thirst.


The water which will allay our
burning thirst augments it when con-
gealed into snow, SO that it is stated
by explorers of the Arctic regions
that the natives prefer enduring the
utmost extremity of thirst rather than
attempt to remove it by eating snow. "
Yet il the snow be melted it becomes
drinkable water. Nevertheless, al
though, if melted before entering the
mouth, it assuages thirst like other
water when melted in the mouth it
has the opposite effect. To render
this paradox more striking. we have
only to remember that ice, which

You can obtain DR.. Caldwelfs Syrup
Pepsin at any drug store for fifty cents
or one dollar, the latter size being
bought by heads of families already
familiar with its merits. Results are
always guaranteed or money will be

When you use Syrup Pepsin you will
see the fallacy of chewing mints and
tablets or of taking cathartics, salts.

Emot;onalism and the Church.

Men have turned aside from the
Evangel into emotionalism. They have
gone apart like the mystics to sit in
silent contemplation of the cross and
to sing: "Oh. how I love Jesus, because
He first loved mel" And they keep on
singing in their trysting places while
the fields are white unto the harvest,
and souls are perishing for want Of a
helping hand Idle tears, and idle
songs, and idle dreams and visions!
Why stand We idle in the market place?
Why stand We gazing up into heaven?

City Manager Plan.

OF all the experiments in municipal
government under trial in various forms
throughout the United States to-day the
most interesting is the city manager
plan now in operation at Dayton, Ohio,
and a few other cities. There is some
thing really attractive in the idea of
having the city governed by a trained
expert. Managing city is really bus
mess and the fact that man has sue
eeeded in some totally different kind of
business does not necessarily qualify
him for it.
As has been pointed out in The News
before, the city manager idea is based
on a plan long in use in German cities
the placing of trained experts in munich
pal Offices, from mayor down. According
to the system prevalent in Germany 4
man who seeks TO qualify himself for
service gets his first training
in a school devoted to that purpose and
then secures position in some small
city. II he makes good" larger city
will demand his services and a com
petent and qualified man is thus sure of
Advancement, as he would be in the bus
mess world.

the city manager plan, for it gives evil
dence of being a success. Most of the

students OF greater efficiency and econ
omy in city management have pro-
nouneed in favor OF it.
| There is an easy way open in Rutland
to get taste, at least in limited way,
OF the idea. Rutland people are probably
nearly unanimous in the belief that our
department of public works the past
year has been a failure. This is no re-
Election ON the character of the man in
charge of it,. He probably has entire
ability to manage the department But
the city pays him comparatively nothing
for the work and his time is practically
monopolized in attendance upon his reg.
ular duties. The department has been
a failure largely because of inattention.
Now the Rutland commissioner of pub
lie works under the charter has plensry
powers. Ii the mayor and aldermen for
the coming year will agree to place in
that commissionership competent man
and pay him for his whole time, the city
will be able to have & limited-very
limited, it is true, but useful--experienc

do its business in an important depart

and it is hard to imagine how results
could be less satisfactory than they have
been
On the general proposition Of hiring
city manager TO take charge OF all pub
lie business, a proposition in which st.
Adams and other places are interesting
themselves, the Philadelphia inquirer
succinctly says:
Zone OF the advantages of city man
ager is that such person may 60 ahead
and do what he thinks best for the city
regardless of the claims of so-called
practical politicians on the one hand and
foolish faddism and impraeticable re-
formers on the other. 1t is simply
question OF applying purely business
principles to what after all il purely
business proposition. How can the peo-
pie be given the best protection and
service for the least amount of taxes
How can the city be improved and made
to hold its own or to forge ahead OF
other communities? In solving these
problems we need not only honest sd-
ministration but also competent agrees

CURRENT COMMENT
. An Opinion on Morrill,.

The Barre Times remarks: "The late
Senator Shelby NJ. Cullom of Illinois oe-
cupied position in the Senate much like
that held by the venerable Senator JUS
tin S. Morrill,; and, indeed, they were
close companions in the national capital.
Perhaps Senator Cullom was man of
somewhat more forcefm characteristics
than the well-known Vermonter, but
surely he had no more lovable qualifica-
tions." We are of the opinion that The
Times shares popular misconception
that Senator Morrill, was fine old type
of man without much force. Mr.. Morrill,
accumulated fortune, for his day, as a
storekeeper in Vermont and never held
public Office until he was elected to Con
gress when forty odd years old. A man
who entered the House of Representa-
tives as stranger without any legisls-
tive experience, and who eight years lat
er was at the head of the ways and
means committee was going some, ac-
cording to the vernacular of to-day To
frame the tariff bill which raised the
revenue for carrying on the Civil war
was a task that required some force.
Senator Morrill's greatest monument is
the agricultural college system of this
country, for which he was more respon-
sible than any other man, and as chair
man of the finance committee of the
Senate he held a commanding position
in the highest legislative body of. the
world for years. There is nothing in
Senator Morrill's career to indicate that
he lacked force.-Brattleboro Reforner.
