SMALL TOWN NEEDS.

Despite the fact that 1000, 600 Amcri-
cans live in villages, the needs Of the small
town have not received due attention. This
conviction prompted the Bureau Of Mu-
nicipal Research in Whitman College to
gather data on village needs. One hum
dred and thirty mayors Of villages, claim
ing from 300 to 1900 inhabitants, re-
sponded to the que@ti on, What do you
think your town most necdsY'
One mayor replies that two or three
funerals would most benefit his village
while another wants fcwer |. W. VS..
Some of the answers call for better public
buildings, more paving and sewerage,
while others ask for more Tive wires" A
few Of the mayors would like to have more
schools, parks lights and hospitals. Tho
total number demanding public improve
ments is sixty-five.
Few Of the village mayors note any such
house famine as is troubling the large
cities. Most Of them nre impressed wholly
by the material needs Of their towns. Only
thirty-four speak Of any moral or intel
lectual shortcomings, and few express any
desire for libraries or better amusements.
The American village today faces the
problem Of existence. And yet the small
town offers unprecedented opportunities.
The town-meeting plan originated in the
small towns of New England. The people
gathered, discussed their affairs and ap-
pointed officers TO carry out their will. The
clue TO greater success in the management
of villages lies perhaps in retracing the way
to direct communal action OF this sort.
And then the small town Offers unex-
celled opportunities for neighborliness and
friendship. A poem recently reprinted ID
the journal sings the praises Of
The little, small-town sympathy that
nuns across the fields,
In blue checked gingham aprons, and
with -four on its hands.
That bakes and brcws, and sweeps and
dusts, that wakcful serves and shields
The little, smsll-town sympathy that
knows and understands
This, indeed, is a pearl of great price,
too often lacking in city lfe.- Minneapolis

Interesting Primary Results.

At Tuesdays Republican primaries, IN
Wisconsin, Senator Irvine l. Lenroot
triumphed over his chief opponent. James
Thompson, who had been selected by
Senator LaFollette to defeat him. Repub-
lican voters, however, declined to agree
with LaFollette, and gave Lenroot a cor
dial Endorsement. And as election is like
ly to follow, the country generally will re-
joice at this rebuke to La Toilette.
In New Hampshire, ''Old Doc" Moses
was renominated for United States Sena-
tor, which was no surprise Being a bitter
and vindietive opponent Of the League Of
Nations, the "Old Guard" had to give
him a denomination or confess defeat
that would have paralyxed the party
completely.

nomination for United States Senator,
beating Governor Dorsey and Senator
Hoke Smith, in the order named. While
Watson does not appeal TO sound Demo
cratic sentiment outside the State, there is
significance in the heavy defeat Of Smith,
who has made himself conspicuous during
his term in the Senate by rancorous opposi-
tion to President Wilson.

every State west of the Mississippi.
Monuments and tombstones from its in
exhaustible quarries are set up everywhere
throughout the East, and those who have
spent the summers in the Green Mountains
that traverse the commonwealth, find it
one of the finest of vacation States.
Perhaps other New England States will
show like decline in population, ms the
tendency of the people seems TO be towards
the West. The public seems to be eternally
on the move. 1t goes from one part of the

1t is no injustice to say the people will
