r. THE BIG STICK

A T the cracking Of twig In the
n still depths of the Adirondack
mountains Roosevelt turned to see a
guide coming out of the woods with
the unexpected news that McKinley's
condition was worse. Although he
fastened to Buffalo, the president had
died 10 hours before the vice president
arrived.
At the outset OF Roosevelt's ad-
ministration a fearful citizen begged
the rough rider not to permit his Tight
ing spirit to plunge the country into an
international war. "Whatl" the pres
ident exclaimed. "A war, and cOOped
up here In the White House3 Never !"
. Many forgot the first half Of the
old motto that Roosevelt made his own.
"Speak softly and carry big stick"
No man ever had a simpler faith In
the efficacy of first talking 1t over"
man fashion, with an adversary,
whether senator or an ambassador.
The meddlesome German kaiser was
the earliest to feel the "big stick" to
see If 1t was only stuffed with straw.
Germany and Tory government of
England were on the point Of selling
territory as security for some claims

WAIT FOR TOWN TO GROW
Criticism Made That Too Many Small
Communities Are Slow In Maxi
Ina improvements.

It~has been figured up that there are
about 1900 small towns in the United
States, half Of them with populations
of 500 or less, says the Thrift maya
zine. 1t is these small towns that the
rural people are Intimately associated
with. They sell their produce there,
buy the things they need; In fact,
these are part of the rural commu-
nifty. Some of these small towns will
become cities, but very large per
cent Of them will remain as they are.
It is no disgrace to live In a small
town, but the rule is that these people
are waiting until next year or some
future year to improve their schools,
put in sidewalks. a water system or a
sewer system to safeguard the health
of the people, or before taking any
step to Improve the social and, living
conditions Of the children.

however. Applications now are COM

Proper Town Planning.

Scientific town planning takes into
consideration the direction of streets
and orientation of houses from a san
itary standpoint. There has been
tendency to make streets run north
and south and east and west, but in a
paper to the Royal Astronomical So
ciety of Canada, Fl. L. Seymour late
ly showed that they should run north
east and southwest and northwest and
southeast. Houses cOrrespondfngly
placed have sunshine In all rooms in
stead Of having it cut off from north
erly walls for more than One-half OF
the time. Also houses shall be so
placed and Of such height. as to shade
others as little as possible.

Roosevelt, succeeded in dissuading Eng
land from such step, but he failed
to induce Germany to arbitrate the
matter. Thereupon he told the Ger
man ambassador that unless the Berlin
government consented to arbitration
in ten days, he would send Admiral
Dewey to stop the Germans from land

protesting that the kaiser could not
back down now, Roosevelt replied that
he was not arguing with him but was
simply telling him what would happen.
After waiting week without an
answer from Berlin, he told the am
bassador that he was going to cut the
limit to nine days and that, unless
Germany agreed in 48 hours to arbi-
trate, Dewey would sail. In SO hours
the ambassador came back with a
message announcing that Germany con-
sented.
In good time, Roosevelt employed
the influence of his unique position
before the world to bring to an end
the Russo-Japanese- war. Shrewdly
choosing the right moment to step in,
he appealed to the two belligerents
with common sense and a simple
directness that friend would use in
bringing together two quarreling neigh

City Planning Worth While.

City planning of the right kind is
strictly business proposition. Its
function is to aid in facilitating bust
ness and maintaining property values.
Its activity means better looking
city, a better city for business and a
better city for homes.
=. Furthermore, city planning is not a
matter Of concern to the few. It will
work to the interest Of the large and
the small property owner, and to the
interest of any person who expects to
make the place his home.
