Members of the library force wish
to make an appeal to the people of Ke-

when crossing the library grounds.
The members of the force charge that
at present many adults as well as chill

of the park in an effort to shortcut
from one side to the other. Those in
charge fear that the beauty of the lawn
will be badly marred unless this is
stopped, as already the paths have be-
come unsightly and viii show worse
later when the grass begins to grow.

HUGHEs's WHISPERS

Tote down candidates who use the
safety razor every morning" and car
rying out these sentiments Mr.. Sax
ton says he will break a lifelong
Democratic record this fall by voting
for the whiskered candidate, Charles
e. Hughes.
One of the most difficults feats
which Peter the Great but partially
accomplished was to make it appar-
ent to the Muscovites that there is
no sanctity in whiskers. When Peter
became ruler of Russia he realized
that his subjects should be modernlH-
ed, and he determined that whiskers
and petticoats (Which men wore In
those days. must go. He issued an
order for compulsory shaving, but
his subjects having been taught that
the longer the whiskers the better the
man, lodged the law as best they
could, and when the cruel shears were
used upon them they begged the mir
suite adoInments and had them buried
in their coffins with them.
We do not know whether Mr..
Hughes regards fwhiskers as evid-
ences of sanctity or superior political
genius, but the ex-Confederate re-
ferred to above seems to entertain
theories on those lines.

Of the globe. In population it. is ex,
ceeded only by Gina and India: In
natural resources it perhaps excels
the United States. The extent Of its
! mineral oral deposits is hardly known. It's
standing timber is calculated above a
billion acres or nearly ten times thai
Of western Europe excepting the
Scandinavian countries.
/ Nearly. three-quarters of the popu-
| lation is engaged in agriculture, and
| with methods generally so primitive
i that although no country has wheat
lands Of greater natural fertility the
yield per acre is the lowest in the
world An American investigator re-
ported, a few years ago, that although
male harvest hands could be hired at
40 cents a day, and women at about
half that, the cost of raising bushel
of wheat was at least as great as IN
North Dakota. Cultivated as. Western
Europe is, Russia would drown the
world in grain-only at that stage It
would consume far more OF It's own
wheat, instead of NXporting 1t even
when there is near-famine in parts
of the empire.
Under recent laws peasant holdings
of land have risen rapidly. Modern
farm machinery and methods are max
ing some Roadway. Especially since
the war with Japan the Government
has shown a new energy and some
intelligence. Before this war a decid-
ed quickening of the half-dormant
country was noticeable. Two years OF
war have produced higher organiza-'
ton of national resources than was
ever before known. Optimists talk
confidently of a government more
liberal, less stupid and corrupt, ami
of a quickened people.
Of all the question marks evoked
by the war one of the biggest hangs
over Russia.

WORLD WAR MAD

The more we ponder the European
situation the more convinced are we
that Europe has simply gone crazy
and that it is, up to the neutral world
to establish commission Of lunacy
to inquire into the case. The Rlch-
mond Virginian thus sums up present
conditions in Europe. Continuing, onr
contemporary says:
First, crazy on the subject of mill
tary efficiency, the Kaiser plunged tie
nations into war. Had ample power
hren at hand to put him and his ad-
Users into a mad-house along with

But there was no restraining hano
and the tragedy begun.
And now we have on the other mans
the rulers and leaders of the entente
allies almost equally as crazy on ths
subject of complete defeat Oh tns

ESSENTIALS OF GROWTH.

Three things are necessary for the
growth and prosperity of any city.
First in Importance it should have an
adequate supply of pure water for
drinking purposes. This is imper-
ative if the health of the people is to
be properly safeguarded, and does not
admit of argument.
Proper sanitation the next reqni-
site. Without it no community can
feel secure from the ravages of dis
ease. Therefore it is not only desir-
able, but AN absolute necessity. This
demands not only clean streets and
alleys, but the abating of every dis
ease-breeding nuisance which threat
ems or endangers the health Of COM
munity. 1t means eternal vigilance, a
board of health with the courage
of its convictions, which will see that
the laws are complied with, and that
without fear or favor.
Third comes fire protection. Here
the question of water becomes import
ant again, for no matter how capable
and efficient fire department city
may possess, its efforts are rendered
practically useless without water and
nlenty of it. In making provision for
water for household use, therefore,
the supply should also be abundant
enough to furnish ample fire protec-
ton to any and all portions of the
business as well as residential sec
lions. The people of any town or
city who will accept or take up with
anything less than this, are simply
cheating and depriving themselves OF
one of the primary essentials OF safS
and sane living.
When seeking a place in which TO
make a home for himself and family,
what questions are among the first
asked concerning a town by the pros
pcctive resident?
He wants to know the facts re-
garding the three important essen
tials enumerated above. 1t ne mas
conditions satisfactory they will go .
long way toward inclining him favor
ably concerning the place. If they are
not what they should be, it means
that he locates elsewhere and the city
in question loses a good citizen ant
possible thriving business or industr!
which he might establish and bullc
up therein.
What is the situation here in Alex
andria?
Are conditions here in regard to tht
various essentials referred to wha
they should be? If not, why not?
