"EverIas tingly At It."
Cleveland Plain Dealer.

There used to be a catch line in the magazine advertising of a certain soap or cleansing article, to the effect that 'keepng everlastingly at it brings success" To the housekeeper, this meant merely the expression of a truth she had always been conscious of-that to keep clean one must scrub forever. Perhaps that is the reason we don't see the line any more. It was too suggestive of an eternity of SCOUT ing.
 Imagine, now, wealthy man mak- ing will in which he provides that somebody must wield scrubbing brush forever. Not till the end of anybody's life, mark you-this partic- ular job is to continue to the end of time, and we'll on into enternity. One Orlando H. Davenport who died in Roxbury, New York, left $50O,00O be- hind because he couldn't take it with him; and he specified that his tomb stone must be scrubbed with soap and water once a year forever. His will reads, in part: This must be done in the most careful manner, without the use of lye or acid stronger than oom- mon soap, so that all shall be kept free from moss, stains or dirt
 This work must be done in May ev- cry year forever" And the four headstones on the lot must be scrubbed in the same manner
 A romancer might get an idea for a wonderful bit of imaginative literature out of this freak will. He might fan cy a civilization a thousand years hence, when the customs, the man. ners, the politics, the language of the present day are all forgotten, but when each May certain persons go and make a religious rite of ubbin g the hieroglyphics on a meaningless stone. One may feign that by then this will be a shrine, and the person who instituted it solar myth. Or lando H. Davenport will be a, mystic name to conjure with; he will be thought of as a parsonage of the twentieth century to whom princes and powers bowed down. Commenta- tors will confuse him with the Or lando of AS You Like It." and the Davenport who invented a sofa bed And thus his name will go ringing down the corridors of time with a scrubbing brush and a bit of soap
 Go on and imagine, f you will But such can never be the case. No mon ey lasts forever. Benjamn Franklin left a small sum to the United States as a lesson to future generations or what compound interest can do. That sum and it's interest, too, has long ago been absorbed by the activities of life and growth Money is not a living thing. Orlando H. Davenport will be as dead two hundred years hence, ir name as he is now in fact.

It has fallen to Senator Klett to introduce some, at least, of the bills which have been suggested by Gov ernor Holcomb in his message. Those introduced by the local senator call for the consolidation of the factory inspectors and the labor commissioner and the tuberculosis commission of three members into one member
 These are all in the line of economy and while there has been talk of these changes before, there is more of a chance of they being combined now than ever before for the reason that they seem to have some pretty strong backing this time There will how ever, be some opposition because of the influence of those who hold the places and who do not care to let go of them just vet. Senator klett has also introduced bill to regulate for tune tellers, which had it's origin in a case in the police court last year and in which a clear case of fraud was practised upon one woman. The idea of the local senator is that 1t is best to have the licensing of sucn people in the hands of the police, that if this was done there would be less feecing going on and that is what is sought to be avoided Hearings will start soon and unless people take an interest in those measures they may fail of passage because of a belief that they are lacking in interest. This may be especially so in the case of the bill which calls for the engine on the dinkey trains to run forward and not a part of the trip with the tender first, as is being done and which has resulted in accidents, some fatally. There should be enough of people in terested in this bill here to make the hearing interesting and create a healthy sentiment for the measure. Representative Schultz has also in troduced some bills of local interest
 although they have had their origin in the State Chamber of Commerce and if passed will apply to the whole state One of the measures, which by the way has not been commented upon and which is of special interest
 is the establishment of a fire preNen- tion day. Some attention is being given matters along this line in other places. but there is sufficient evidence at hand to suggest the need of advice on the matter here. We are having too many fires and the, reports from some of them are far from being sat isfactorv. that is some of them sug- pest incendiarism and that ought to be investigated and if possible stopped. When a fire starts no one knows when or where it will stop. It's possibilities are awful to contemplate and it is desirable that every possible nrecaution be taken against 1t and at the same time that there be sen tjment created in favor of full pub licitv as to the cause of fires. That is badly needed in this city.

A Good SIogan-''Build Now"
Chicago Tribune.)

Tn the appeal issued Dy the indus trial commission of the city council those who are contemplating new construction, extension, or repair work are urged to start work at once. Sim liar advice has been g1Ven by New York and Boston committees on un- employment and it has been heartily indorsed by efficient men of affairs. Build now" ought to become a na- tional slogan. The Manufacturers Record national periodical pub lished at Baltimore, is pushing this movement with vigor and intelligence. Results worth recording have been at tained already. For example, firms engaged in the building trades in Augusta have united in an advertise ment offering reductions in prices the reductions ranging from ten to twenty-five per cent.-and showing Tn detail that construction at this time, owing to the conditions in the labor and material markets, would mean a saving of from fifteen to twenty per cent.
 A few months ago it was necessary to appeal to the courage and farsight- edness of business men and to argue from the basic soundness" of Ameri- can industrial and financial conditions. Today the facts of the money market and the foreign trade speak for them selves, and the build now slogan is an appeal to the mere common sense of men who, while planning new con struction or Improvement, are waiting for the sake of waiting or because of excessive timidity.
 It is evident that the best of all remedies for unemployment now pos sible-as any larger scheme requires time and careful preparation-ls the hastening the advancing, the pushing of builders manufa cturers and mer- chants construction and repair work. Do it now" has new meaning, and the heads of business houses who are tea aching this doctrine to their young men have the opportunity to give them a most impressive and effective object lesson and example.

PRESIDENT WILSON ON
PROSPERITY.

The speech of President Wilson be- Tore the Association of Ameri ga II Railway electricians at Washington yesterday contains much that needs to be seriously considered, because it IS of a character different from any other delivered by him or any one else with the same spirit of optimisn}. The president is confident that good times are coming and while all may not cheerfully subscribe to the rules he lays down for the government .f business no one will doubt but that compliance with them would make for better understanding all around.
 There can hardly be any doubt but that business is going to improve be- cause in the first place the country has a new tariff act and a new cur rency law which unbiased judges say will result in a great financial benefit to business. They have not had g. chance to work out as yet, particular ly the tariff law, but enough has been seen to suggest it's value. It is not just what each business man would like: no tariff act ever net with general ap proval, but tn ere is belief that the present one will meet a need that has long been felt and that the ultimate result will prove it's worth. What has prevented business enterprises from working out to advantage of late is the European war, which must have satisfied the people how dependent we all are one upon another. It used to be said that this country could live independently of all other countries, but we all know better now, and th1s knowledge will help us all to better understand the argument offered by the president. There must be a return to normal conditions first and then with the rehabilitation of things in Flu rope and a restoration of confidence in this country prosperity should come back to stay. President Wilson has reasoned it out somewhat closely and worked in a little of the golden rule, too, so that we have a rosy picture of the future, but beneath the bright coloring there is a sound philosophy which is not easily eliminated if we are to study carefully the conditions which have obtained in this country and desire to take peep into the fu- ture.

erected at a cost of $173, 500. This seems to indicate that the tendency is towards large buildings for tene- ment purposes and if they are fin iShed up we'll the owners experience no difficulty in finding tenants. The rents in those buildings are fairly reasonable except in some of the three tenement houses, where they are rather high and in some instances beyond the means of the ordinary workingman. Still there is a de- mand for such rents and the man who can, supply them no doubt ob- tains a satisfactory return on the cap ital invested. There were forty-fOur single family houses erected during the year at a total estimated cost of $119, while the two family houses numbered sixteen and cost $61, 100. These were the size of the dwellings which used to be erected as a gen eral thing. the owner occupying the lower floor and renting the upstairs tenement, the rent being usually suf- ficient to pay the interest and taxes and leaving the owner to apply what he had been paying for rent towards liquidating the mortgage. The com mittee which has been revising the building ordinances of the city has declared against the six tenement structures on account of the fire risk, also because it is felt that the sani- tary arrangements cannot be as well provided in those large buildings as in the smaller ones, and the conten- tiOn is no doubt correct. What the effect of this change will be Is mat ter of conjecture. If it will result in more smaller dwellings being erect ed the effect will be better for the city and better for those seeking tene- ments. but just now the latter are in demand beyond the supply and there isn't much question raised as to their character so long as they are of satisfa ctory size and the sanitary provisions are suitable. The size does not matter much.

WaStrcI COInmOnWcalthS.

The multiplication of MinnesOta'S talents proceeds at a rate that must leave her sisters ruefully conscious of the saddest words of tongue or pen. Her auditors pertinacity in discovering that previous estimates of the public land values were all too low is nothing less than an attempt to rub it in.
 Last year the prediction was that Minnesota, from her iron, timber and farm lands, would ultimately have d fund of $2OO,OOO, ,OOO; now it appears that it will be still greater, and may be much greater. Her iron lands this year bring in a million; by 1920 they should bring in four millions. North and South Dakota are abetting her, moreover in the humiliation of the remainder of the west. Each is like ly to have, in the end, a fund of above $50, 900, ,000-the one having 2.500,- OOO the other 3,OO0,0O0 acres.
 Tn painful contrast Iowa has sold all but 200 acres and has $4,S00, 900 to show for it; Wisconsin has sold all but 16,OOO, and has a debt; Michigan has sold al, and has $5,sO0,OOO: H. linois has sold all, and has s1,2OO,- 900. The original patrimony of each of these states was from 6,000,000 to 9OOOOOO acres. Texas alone is an exception, with an enormous area ex- pected ultimately to accumulate ESQ., O,O0O. Ail these wastrel comm on wealths must suffer the spectacle of Minnesota buying their state bonds and battening on the interest.

Jackson county has declared war on harmed wire. Farmers and others in that quarter believe that such an inhumane utensil as wire with pricllers has no rightful place outside a European battlefield Certainly, it is no nice way to treat laW-abidlng live stock to string deadly barbs across it's path.
 So a delegation of Jacksonians has asked Representative Hoy to introduce a bill in the Ohio assembly to pro- hfbit the use of barbed wire. He is reported as considering.
 went out as the most popular mater ial for country fences. The barbs were supposed to encourage in say age breasts a higher respect for prop erty rights and boundaries. One en- counter with such a fence was sup posedly sufficient to convince the most obdurate horse or COW that renee was something more than mere aca- denlic expression of opinion on the part of it's builder.
 But barbs are not as popular as they started out to be. A good many farmers are convinced that they in f1ict unnecessary injury and accomplish no good that a smooth wire cannot accomplish There is a humanitar- ian motive behind the Jackson. county suggestion, and it would not be sur prising to see some favorable action in the legislature.

THREE HEADED HIGHWAY COM
 MISSION.

The bill introduced this week in the legislature by Representative Alcorn of Thompsonville for the appointment of three headed highway commis- opposition. Some say that the sole object of the measure is to oust Com missioner Bennett who was reappoint- ed the other day by Governor Hol- comb. The newspapers, which have made any comment on this bill, seem to be in opposition to it and all regard it as a measure that should be beaten. In the first place the passage of the bill would mean .a return to the old conditions which existed when the highway lep i.tlnent was created and there were three commissioners. It cluded that T single head would be preferable, would work out better and the law was amended to conform with this idea.
 It will be d good thing for the state if the highway department is left as it is, it is doing the work demanded of it as we'll as it can be done and to make a chnngo would simply mean an increase in the expense and most like ly a decrease in the efficiency. It is for those rcasons that Ir. Acorn S bill should be beaten. There was much displeasure occasioned by the removal of MT. Macdonald two years ago be- cause he was Il machine republican and some felt that his removal would mean an injury to the organization, but the party has since carried the state so thar there could Il ot have been anything b that contention. There is a republican in the office now, and while he may not be as strong a re- publican and party man as MT. Mac Donald was, he seems to be able tc build good roads and that is what the state wants aud what it pays him for It is rather difficult to dig up con ditions that can operate against MT | Bennett. IIe appears to be all right

The Speech of ex-GOvernor Fran

The speech of ex-Governor Frank B. Weeks at the banquet of the Mc2 Kinley club in Hartford shows that in his retirement he has not forgotten how to deliver an address suitable to the occasion. It will be remembered that when he was governor his public speeches attra cted favorable comm ent for their cleverness and nicety of ex- pression. His address at the M Mckln- ley club gathering was along that line. The speech of Commissioner Chandler proved that he still has the ability and the knowledge to entertain an audi ence and leave it better informed when he finishes than when he start ed.

not to be gotten there then all that is necessary is to step into the building inspectors office the office of the water commissioners, the board of charities, the board of pub lie works or the assessors, all being housed under one rOOf now, and the visitor to City hall can learn in jig time what is going on in the way Of public business in the city. City Clerk Thompson says that things are pretty slow in his office at present, there being but a few warrantee deeds which indicates that the buying and selling of property has almost ceased, some days there being no such docu- ments being filed TOT record at all. The matrim onial market, how ever, is running full time, nine licenses being issued on one day this week and six on another. It IS nearing Lent just now and the young folks are not desirious of postponing their weddings any longer. Still it does not matter whether times are good or bad cupid is generally busy and he is apt to drop into the city clerks office at any time, his calls sometimes being after
 
 to go away disappointed There were 543 marriages in New Britain last year which may be taken as positive proof that there were some people who were not discouraged by the war, the tariff or the hard times During the year there were 62O deaths and 193S births, showing that the popu- lation is still on the increase. In l91 5 the births numbered 1,757 and the preceding year they footed up 1,712. while the death in 1913 were 5S7 and in the same year the marriages num- bered FPS which shows that cupid was not near as busy last year as the one before. These figures are inter esting because they throw some light upon our growth a community. It is claimed that the weddings are not as numerous as city of the size of New Britain ought to have, but the figures for last year as compared with those of the year before suggest that even marriage is affected to some ex- tent by the general condition of busi- ness, there evidently being some who do not care to begin housekeeping unless the industrial conditions are in their favor They can hardly be blamed for that for it is claimed that if couple start housekeeping in debt that they will not find it an easy mat ter to get out of it unless they strike the capital prize at a fair or hit a lot tery somewhere and the chances in this line are never very good. The young folks as a rule wait therefore until times are good before ventur1ng g on the sea of matrimony.
