CHASSIS HAT IN THE RING. Chairman of Water Board is Candi-
 date for Reelection.

One of the most interesting develop ments of the local political situation is the announcement by Chairman Charles F. Chase of the water cont missioners that he is a candidate for re- election. Chairman Chasc's term of office expires this Spring. Notice that he is a candidate for reelection has been sent to each member of the common council by Chairman Chase. This is evidently to forestall any effort to oust him as it has been rumorcd that Mayor Quig- ley does not favor his reelection. President E. N. Humphrey of the board of public works is being men toned as successor to Chairman Chase.

With remarkable frequency the
three Chicago big league teams have
been cracking existing records wide
open. They established new one
yesterday when Sox, Cubs and
Whales each defeated the opposition.
That makes the third consecutive day
on which all three of our prides have
come out on top.
Just how hard the White Sox are
smacking the ball is well illustrated
by their record yesterday. They reg
istered seven safeties. Two were
home runs, one was triple, two were
doubles and the remaining two were
plain singles, both by Roth, and some
what scratchy.
But the homers of Fourier and
Brief, the triple of Russell and Buck
WeaVer's two-baser were resounding
smacks. Fournier's homer hit the
center-field fence on the first bound,
and Briefs waIlop cleared the fence
in front of the left-feld bleachers, a
feat that has only been accomplished

MAKE THE SOUTH
THE BEAUTIFUL LAND
1T OUGHT TO BE.

No people can be what they ought
to unless they live amid beautiful
surroundings, and there is no excuse
for any farmer in the South not hay
ing a pretty farm and home.
The Almighty will certainly make
any farm beautiful wherever the
farmer does his part-wherever gull
lies, stumps and sprouts are elimina-
ted and fields kept large, whole and
symmetrical instead of being ragged
and spotted with neglected hedge
rows and notwithstanding patches of
turned-out land.
Nor is there any excuse, no mat
ter how poor the owner may be, for
having one single ugly home any
where in all our sunny South. Where
we can't have paint we can have
whitewash, and where we can't spend
money on handsome buildings, we
can at least have the glory of beautl-
full trees, shrubs, vines, flowers and
grassy lawns that the Almighty puts
within reach of everybody in our ia
yored section. A Southern home
without flowers ought to be a dis
grace to the owner. Even a cabin
whitewashed and made beautiful with
blossoming morning glories may be
a greater delight to the eye than
snowy mansion built without taste.
And Just here there comes to us
letter from one of our women read
ers, Mrs. w. l. Zachry, of Baxley,
Ca, so happily expressed and so sug-
gestive of our opportunities for add
ing to the worlds beauty, that we
cannot refrain from giving It empha-
sis on this page. She writes:
Il am living at an old homestead
that has belonged to several genera
lions of the same family. 1t has now
passed into the hands Of strangers;
the members of the old family are
dispersed and gone far away. But
this place is a memorial to them and
especially to the first lady who came
here as bride and lived here as a
wife and mother through long and
useful life Her impress is still upon
everything, her spirit lives anew in
the recurrent blooming of her rose
garden. l, stranger. feel kinship
with her as I breathe their dewy
fragrance. Early in the spring myri-
ads of daffodils, jonquils and narcis-
sus came up in great haste. Some
bore trumpets and were trumpeters
of the good tidings of spring, the eter-
nal yellows of all the sunsets within
the hearts of them, their fragrance
and freshness almost divine.
At Easter time the white flags UNI
furled in all their purity, an emblem
of the sweet spirit of her whose pure
thought and innate love of the bear
tiful gave them a perpetual gift OF
loneliness, to those that came after
her. Today there is flaming Of
crimson lilies and amaryllis against
the green shrubbery. Nor can we
who are the inheritors of this lowell
ness forget that the sweetness Of one
woman made 1t all possible"

land it ought to be!--The Progressive
