HAVE TO PAY FOR PROGRESS
Londoners Likely to Object In Vain
to the Proposed Removal Of Two
Ancient and Historic Houses.


London is threatened with the loss
Of two more beautiful ancient houses,
which, if not designed by lingo
Jones, are certainly of his school.
In spite of protests from many in
fuential quarters, the houses at IS
and Sc Great Queen street popularity
known as "Boswell's house," are to
be demolished in order that Free
Masons' hall may be enlarged.
The loss of these houses, it is
pointed out by A. R. Powys, secre-
tary of the Society for the Protection
of Ancient Buildings, in a letter to
the Daily Chronicle, will be a blow to
the history Of London architecture,
He adds:
"The houses are associated with
Boswell and other distinguished per
sons. 1t is suggested that these
houses might be rebuilt elsewhere OF
stored in a museum. This is poor
consolation. Were they to be rebuilt
elsewhere they would only in par
belong to the seventeenth century
and all the association of age an(
position would be lost, together witt
the beauty which time alone has len.
them"

BEST TIME TO TAKE A MATE
Authoress Of Opinion That Women

Marjorie Benton Cooke, author Of
~Bamby," submitted to an interview
by a New York newspaper woman
the other day, in which she said:
"The girl Of eighteen marries a
man because she's mad about him.
The woman of twenty-eight marries
because she wants a chum. OF the
two unions | believe that the second

"The woman who doesn't marry

what loneliness means. Or she has

a black future almost upon them.

TRANSMITS THE BABY'S CRIES
6usy Mother in English Lighthouse
Has Put the Telephone to a
Novel and Good Use.

Probably the youngest child habit
ually using a telephone is the four
months-oId baby of the Platte Fou-
gere lighthouse, on the island of
Guernsey, in the English channel.
This baby sleeps every fine day in
its carriage in the open air with a
telephone transmitter at its side.
When it awakens and cries its mother
hears the sound over the telephone
in the house.
The Scientific American prints a
photograph of the baby and the fol-
lowing description of this unique APP
paratus:
"In the baby carriage is a cigar
box containing the telephone trans
mitter and a small clock. Wires run
ming up to the house, twenty yards
away, enable the mother IN the inter-
walls of her work to listen for .baby's
cry. When working at the table and
during meals it is easy to listen con-
tinuously.
"'The clock, although its use is not
at first apparent, forms an essential
part Of the device, for the sound of
its ticking provides the necessary
proof that the telephone is transmit
ting sounds correctly"

quite a good record when the
total cost Of the department to

way in Missouri.
The "watchful waiting" pol
icy of President Wilson has been
ivindicated and the people of the
country are more than pleased
with the results. Who wanted
war with Mexico, anyway?
Republicans are hoping that
the feeling of over-confidence in
democratic ranks throughout
the country will cause many
Democrats to stay at home on
election day. Boys, this is a
mistake The Democrats are
all going to the polls in order
that there may be no doubt
about the result. We must have
a Democratic Congress to con
tinue carrying out the policies OF
the Wilson administration.
The Republican convention
failed to "view with alarm" tn,

by their silence gave it their en-.
dorsement. This is indeed
more than anyone could have

TIMBER LANDS AND TAXES.

handicapped by the present system Mr.. Elliott argues
logically and there are some ideas advanced well worth
considering but he loses sight of the main features OF
the matter Somehow every person who has especial
matter to sperntend becomes imbued with the idea that
that thing is the one important matter to the public We
are not finding fault with the fact but simply stating it.
1t is perhaps an evidence of the interest the person is TAX

Mr. Elliott realizes the Importance OF the timber indus

so soon as is created begins to spread out and build up
bic department 1t wants divisions and subdivisions
with countless officials and employees This, from the
head OF the government down, and not in Oregon alone
but in every state in the union and wants legislation
for that especial thing without regard to others.
Suppose Mr. Elliotts idea of separate taxation for
timber land the basis of productivity were permitted
How long would it be before the farmer asked and right
fully too that his land be taxed the basis Of its pro

investment not yielding nearly the returns OF others
who had their money invested in manufacturing indus
tries This would be but starter and directly the tax
system would be changed and the tax eved according to
its money returns rather than on property values 1t
would be impractical and in fact impossible 1t would be
cause Of eternal pickering and tax lodging and above
all it would be pretty certain to wind up with the single
tax Then the timber lands would get it probably
than they do 1t may be timber lands are taxed too
much but anyway there is no indication yet that the
