HOPE.,-It is very encouraging to
observe that writer's for The Public
Forum are awake to the truth that
no relief can come to mankind by
resort to lies. Every day some one
expresses, consciously or uncon-
scioUsly or otherwise, the conviction
that the cussedness Of man is due
to his enforced conformation to the
greater curse Of legal government.
The option is still open to US Of
cleaning our own house or dying in
legal filth. At first glance the aban-
Comment of what you have been
taught was constructed for your spe-
cial protection with so much care,
looks like retrogatiOn, yet the truth
is it is but a natural effort to free us
from the endless ENHANCEMENT of
lies into which we have ben led.
We have listened to the spider and
have walked into his parIor of laws
and legal government and yearly we
elect more spiders to spin more legal
webs with which to enmesh us the
more securely. 1 thank God that
many see the niger in the Woodpile.
We are under the curse of that
which has assumed the province of
nature or God Almighty. It is up to
US to step on the spiders and no
longer be their scapegOats. We owe
a duty to our fathers, who plainly told
us that when the emergency expe-
dent they devised no longer sufieed
to meet later emergencies, to the
bone yard with it! God bless them
Were they here now they would say,
to heck with all legal government!
They are here in spirit and that it
what they are trying to teach us. One

before their day virtually told us to

VOTING A DRY SOUTH Dry.
It seems a pity that we are only half
men in Illinois. We have only allow
ed women to vote for about half of
the positions we men may ballot for
We men sing and shout about free
dom and justice, but we are a queer
lot. Our sex did not give the poor
negro his freedom when we took our
own. The negro had to even help
fight for his liberty.
Women are fighting harder to win
the justice of the vote than the
slaves had to fight, to win justice. We
spilled the blood of 100000 white
men in the Civil War that the blacks
might be free. Now that women ask
freedom we are not willing to give
Justice where it does not cost a life
or a cent in money. "0h, cOnsis-
tency, thou art a jewell"
We still remain a half-hearted,

life of me l can't see why Southern
ers hesitate. 1t would mean radiance
of Whiskey and more culture to the
people.
We talk about respect for woman.
But here is what seems another in

LOOK TO THE VACANT LOT
A Little Cleaning Up Of the Space
Now VIII Result In Profit in
the Future.

Owners of unimproved property In
this city who wish to sell it should
take heed of a suggestion that comes
from Minneapolis. where the matter
has been under practical considera-
ton. This is that any lot of ground
offered for sale has a better chance
Of finding a market II It is kept in at
tractive order than II neglected and
allowed to present an unkempt, unat-
tractive appearance. OF course, as a
mere building site, 1t makes no diff
ference to a prospective purchaser
whether a lot is neatly tufted or is a
veritable dump laden with trash.
Building operations are not deferred
by refuse. But there is something
psychological in the appeal of a we'll.
kept vacant lot that gives it a pulling
power" over a trash-covered, weed
grown. unsightly place.
The cumulative affect of w%ell.tended
vacant properties reaching to a stand
ard of orderliness throughout the city
is unmistakable. Every real estate
owner with property of this character
to sell ia interested in attracting the
attention of buyers from outside. Such
buyers are more surely drawn to a
city that presents no unlovely aspects
than to one that is peppered with eye
sores.
The cost Of keeping a vacant lot in
order is slight and it should be reck-
oned by the owner as part of the over.
head charge, along with the interest.
It has been suggested that this cost
may be added to the price of the prop
erty when 1t is sold. However it Is
borne, whether by the owner or the
ultimate purchaser, 1t is a good in
vestment. 1t makes for quicker sales
and meanwhile for a more attractive
city, which in itself is an asset shared
by every owner of property.
This is the season to consider this
question. Already the preparations
for park work are under way. The
ground in the public reservations Is
being raked, trash is being hauled
away, and in a few weeks the city will
be ~blossoming. Every me of a va
cant lot should consider his bit OF
ground as part Of the city's park sys-
tenn and put it in order Just as care
fully as the tree.grown spaces under
the care Of the government are
groomed for the season. The house
holders are expected to keep their
front parkings and lawns up to a
certain standard of n%eatness, and sure
ly those who own land on which there
are no improvements should be under
the same obligation. - Washington

spring s%howings, let it be hoped no
one will recall 1t. Not a thing is con.
spicuous by its absence, and the
seeker after new millinery has too
many things to choose among.
There are hats large and hats small
and they have arrived to stay until the
close Of the season. These are hats
in between. But the wise milliner
might hint that there is less distinc.
ton in medium than In extreme sizes.
She will be safe in recommending wide
brimmed hats for either street or
dressy wear. And she should warn
you against buying anything simple
unless 1t be a sports hat, for the modes
demand elaboration.
Two midsummer hats with f1ounces

Have a Garden.

Begin now to think of that little
garden in the back yard, everybody
who has a back yard. Such a modest
enterprise has much to do to restore
the harmony Of life. If you don't get a
radish, a tomato. a bean or a mess Of
peas, you will get something greater

things grow. They make a man
grow, too; add health and
strength to every part of his body;
give him a clean conscience; make
him love his wife and enjoy her
victuals. Tending a little garden
makes a good citizen out of a man;
gives him better thoughts; makes him
kindlier to his n%e:ghb,rs. and gives a
gentler accent to his voice. And then,
If he should raise anything in the gar

take it into the kitchen and lay it on

Value of EIoWer Shows.

Preparations are already under way
.r flower shows. and it is pertinent
to ask. What is the permanent value
to those who attend?" Mere attrac-
tons will not permanently endure
with any considerable measure of sue
cess. They must educate as we'll. In
order to interest you must instruct.
All love best what they know most
about. The more is instructed in
horticulture the greater will be his

The outcome was one man nearly

GOOD CULVERTs ARE needed
Crossroads and Byroads Are Putt

There is a good deal being said and.
written about good roads. l fear that
the main thing is overlooked in their
haste by a good many people. They
want to do it all at once. l fear the
culvert proposition is overlooked by
the automobile main road association,
writes ]. w. Edwards of Dawson coun-
ty, Nebraska, in Independent Farmer.
They forget that much travel and
heavy traffic is done On side roads,
especially threshing outfits. 1t is a
lamentable fact that the crossroads
and byroads are put off with old
wooden %culverts, thereby causing in
Vulnerable accidents while II some at
tention was given to building solid
concrete culverts, something that
would be everlasting and cheaper In
the long run, there would be less &C
cidents and threshermen would not
need to travel three to five miles to
get one mile. The automobile also
has to travel these crossroads and by
roads frequently.
A wooden culvert soon rots out and
becomes dangerous inside of a few
years. This is caused by foods and
different kinds Of weather. While
concrete is desirable-water and floods
may come and wash over them
but they are left where put and
it Is safe to cross over-the ordinary
wooden bridge may be washed out
