established towns" the writer looks
confidently to the women. She states
that, "Such as it is, the village, town,
or swarming metropolis into which
the child is born will inexorably affect
its growth. Perhaps in time the love
of the mother and the pride of the
housewife will combine to make our
cities fit for children to live in places
of beauty, health and order, a credit
to all of u.s." On the ten points Mrs.
Gilman gives an interesting COM
ment:
"The health and beauty listed would
not mean the health and beauty due
to natural advantages, but the efforts
made by the town to improve in these
matters.
"Civic virtue and public spirit
might, perhaps, go under one head,
measuring the proportion of citizens
actively interested in the affairs of
the community, and the quality of
their service. For instance, any one
working in any store, shop, school,
mill or other form of public service,
and not doing honest work, lacks civic
virtue just as much as if we were in
an official position. We live and die
by the services of our fellows, whe-
Their elected or not. A man who
builds dark tenements or who owns
and rents such tenements lacks civic
virtue. So does the packer who sells
bad meat, the worker who does poor
work, on the selfish and ignorant who
rob the public by stealing flowers in
the parks.
"We are already proud of our edu-
cational facilities, and we should see
to it that the next generation can be
far prouder. We are only beginning
to awaken to the need for providing
social facilities as civic function.
"We can keep tabs on administra-
tive efficiency as soon as there is
common knowledge of what we have
a right to expect. AS to administra-
tive honesty, think what healthy
thing it will be when we can learn
from our Getty book" which town has
the worst record and which the best,
and where we stand at home. Think
of the eager committee on improve
ment sending for the competent civic
examiner, and having their town re-
cords exposed to public knowledge in
clear and simple terms. How proud
the town with the unblemished rec
ord. if the~n is one! How deservedly
ashamed the citizens of the worst
town!
Minimum prosperity means the
opposite of our present system of
Boosting Of first citizens; it means
Boosting of the last ones, of the poor
est We now exult in millionaire
more or less, and pass over without
notice the mass of poor. What a
town should be proud Of, is not the
height of its maximum in wealth, but
of it's minimum; not "We have three
in this town." but, "There
is not a family in this town with an
income below thousand dollars" A
thousand dollars is only twenty dol
lars a week, with fortnight's vaca-
ton, little enough for any family to-
day."

CIea1. Slate ans!
End BY April Il
Appropriation and Primary
Repeal Bills Are Only Two
Big Measures CHI Miller's
Program Not Yet Passed
Quick Action Due ON Both
Legislators Have Set Record
for Economy and Carried
Out Governors Pledges
From q Stae Correspondent

FROM Stat Correspondents
ALBANY, March 26.--All the various
parts Of the legislative machinery have
been oiled for the final four weeks Of
wesk before it, and every Indication
points to an Adjournment on April 21.
The Legislature, working harmoni-
ously for the first tine in years with
the Executive, has followed Governor
Millcr's advice to it in his first annual
message. that what was needed was
less laws and moro law enforcement.
To date. less than $500 bills have
originated in both branches of the Leg
islature, ana rnis does not represent
the actual number Of bills introduced,
as in many instances the same measure
is offered in both houses simultane-
ously.
Ns& Brakes Have Held ;.
The manner in which the legislative
leaders have held the brakes on the
machine to prevent the usual grinding
out of laws is indicated by the number
OF bills sent to the Governor-263.
This falls short by more than 100 Of
the number passed in the first three
months of the session.
OF the bills passed, the Governor
has signed 14a. These, with few ex-
ceptions, have been purely local bills.
Three of the measures recommended in
his annual message are now law: The
act reorganizing the State Industrial
Commission; the reorganization of the
Tax Department and the repeal of the
daylight savings law
The public utilities bill is before
him awaiting his signature, as we'll as
one of the two port development meas
ures and the three prohibition en-
forcement bills.
But two other bills of moment, which
carry out the Governors policy, have
not been acted on. One, the appropria-
tion bill, will be passed in the next
few days. 1t carries out Governor Mil
ler's program of retrenchment and
economy to the letter, the departments
expenses allowed being $15,000,000 less
than last years, and $90,000,000 less
than the departmental requests. AS
it stands, the expenses for running the
state government this year will be
slightly less than $130,000,000. All but
the job holders and their friends are
behind this bill.
s Conference on Repeal Bill
The second bill. which has not been
acted on, and which Governor Miller is
for, provides for a partial repeal Of
the direct primaries to pave the way for
the nomination Of candidates for state
Office and the judiciary by the old con-
vention system.
This measure has given rise to con-
siderable friction, and in an effort to
smooth matters out the Governor, who
returned here tonight, ordered con
ference of the legislative leaders In
the Executive Chamber Monday after
noon
Few of the other measures pending
are of more than purely local interest,
Two exceptions to this are the soldiers
bonus bill and the T. X. Smith bill
aimed at ridding New York City and
other large cities of the ticket scalpe1
nGlisance.

Bomb Laid to Anarchists

ROME, March 26.-There Is every in
dication that the bomb explosion in the
Diana Theater in Milan, in which
thirty-one persons were killed and 100
others injured, was one of series Of
terrorist outrages carried out through
out Italy by anachists.
The police believe this to have been
proven by the explosion Of three bombs
on the railway line between Bologna
and Milan and one on the Adriatic line
near Fano, together with two dynamite
explosions on the Genoa-Turin line and
one under railway bridge near vi
cenza. The arrest CT many anarchists
leads the police to believe they have
captured the ringleaders and that the
anarchists will be unable to engineer
further outrages.
