THERE is something the matter
with the man who doesn't care for
the place he lives in. Merely to live
in place doesn't make one citi-
zen. Your heart will be where your
work has been put in to help forward
any good thing that is going. or
course. one must be true to the i'm
mediate family circle and look we'll
70 ones own household first Of all.
But that intimate devotion, commend
able ~ II is, may become selfish
sentiment that takes no thought for
those measures Of public welfare in
whose benefit we all share. No man
gets the name Of civic patriot by
doing things simply for himself. He
must serve the public interest in the
general good. not his own pocket;
while the range Of his charity may
cover the whole world. It should. in
the homely phrase. come home to
roost" In his own town.

THANK YOU"

The Waterbury American com- | ments on the habit in Holyoke. of suc- cessful candidates for office in thank | voted for them. It cites an instance also of n defeated candidate who did | the same thing.
 Possibly this is a habit that pre- vails only in communities and cities which do not boast of great numbers. This fact. however does not detract from its value-and the unsuccessful candidate has just as much reason to thank those who supported him as has the one who wins the place he sought.
 The suggestion involves a matter Of much more general interest than at first appears. IL is an example of the general habit of some men to them and to voice the appreciation. Beginning early in life not to be afraid to say Thank You" for some little favor bestowed, some courtesy shown. one gets into the habit and the Thank You" comes invoIuntarily. and never out of place.
 Thank You" represents more. It prociaims some thought of others and ones indebtedness to them for practicing the ordinary courtesies of human intercourse. This practice can hurt no man or woman. It may benefit them little practically; it instills a habit of action and thought which will benefit them much when things other than those essentially practical are taken into consideration.
 Politeness under all circumstances even the most trying. is much to be desired. It is avoided purposely by practiced too freely by others. Blunt ness is considered by some people as mark of manliness. And bIuntness often degenerates into something. rather unpleasant.
 1t is difficult for the grown person to cultivate something he or she has neglected all through life. It is easy for the parent who at last recognizes how much more comfortable life
 would be were politeness more gen eral. to instill the idea into the child. It will be worth while.
 So let the man winning or losing a political office continue his habit of saying Thank You" and let others. | who have scorned to acknowIedpe n faVor, a recognition of worth, or a courtesy, begin to cultivate a little | of the habit.

WOMEN AND HOUSING.

From Washington comes the infor- nation that women plan a conference to bo composed Of representatives of every section of the country to take up the housing situation.
 Aside from the not-unexpected a hand In this matter. and that there has been too much talk and too little action. there is a suggestion from the woman advocating this conference. that Is not so old.
 She says:
 Now Is the time for them to agi- tate for better houses. Before there is a wholesale building of new dwellings they should have a pro gram ready embodying their ideas of homes built for comfort and health.
 For centuries women have lived i'm houses built by men and accord ing to mems ideas. No thought has been given to the convenience of the housewife. the member of the family who spends most time in the home.
 The drudgery of housework can be reduced by the proper equipment and arrangement of n house"
 Probably every man has been through the experience of finding q house and being delighted with it only to learn that the women of hi family see many faults which his male eye has failed to discover.
 It seems as though there is a great Chance here for women tC show their energy and wisdom. Per. haps they will bend their energies tC things such as these, child welfare and other metters with which they are particularly familiar. Certainly nothing but good would come from such activity on their part.

ing how to aid others just for the sake of bettering the world.
 They were men and women discus sing practical ways of getting of more help to those who trusted their money to their banks because they consider helping others financially to be their business. They were planning to continue the broadening of the banks sphere of influence because that is their business. And because they take this point of view they are help ing themselves-helping others and helping the world.
 Through study and discussion such as that carried on in this city the other evening. many a man has had a way out Of financial diculties point ed out to him and has received the help necessary to follow that way. He has been benefited: his family has been benefited: his home has become a happier place-all because of the human quality that study and imagin- ation and the right spirit have brought to the individual units in banking organization.
