Senator Johnson ' of North Dakota, 'has made an inauspicious beginning of 'hi service in X the upper bouse at Washington. In a few minutes of astonishing display of ignorance about the history of his country he has won for himself an assured place in the unenviable V collection of national "freaks." His outburst came in con nection with a proposition to donate a aite for the monument to Alexander Hamilton, for which subscriptions are bow being taken all over tho land. "I want that mas forgotten as soon as possible," declared this iconoclast from the northwest. "If a monument Is erected to such a contemptible rake aa Tamllton the statue will be dyna mited in less than 10O years, for the people will not tolerate It. A friend of the wealthy, ha wanted them to control the government He advocated the election of the president and the aenate by them, and when ha failed to have hi idea adopted.' left the constitutional convention and went homo." Such are the curious comments of this new fledged representative of the sovereignty of North Dakota. On the one hand, Niebuhr, Gutsot, Talleyrand. Brycc. Washington. Webster, Kent, Roosevelt, Taft, Hughes, the historians of the United States, and every Intelligent student rf American institutions and government. On the other, Johnson of North Dakota. And be wants Hamilton forgotten as eoon as possible. :: y- - No man ever received such tributes as Hamilton has had paid him by his contemporaries, by publicists everywhere, by those whose judgment has been honored since the republic was established. "He more than any of our early statesmen diet the thinking of his time," is an oft quoted, expressive sentence. Without him and his views,; both active at a critical period, the nation never would have gained strength. Hla ideas ' permeate the government. What he gave to it in its Infancy it, still retains despite the development of more than a century. "It is Jittle short of a scandal that there should be no monument to Alexander Hamilton at Washington." That is' the way ex-President Roosevelt states the case. And that is the real opinion of the overwhelming majority of American .citiaens. who count the achievements of the great constructive statesman of Washington's . administration among 'the lasting glories of the republic Chicago Tribune. MR. CARNEGIE MUST BARE THIS ' BLAME. Andrew Carnegie is, giving advice vary day or two on the tariff and tariff bill. Having got a great fortune from a protected business, he is now very eager to 'abolish protection for hit conscience's sake.':V';y. . Having climbed. Mr. Carnegie now smugly endeavors to kick down the ladder by which others are climbing. He asks people to believe that this effort also . is put forth solely for his conscience's sake. Furthermore, having a great income, Mr. Carnegie Is now as vociferous against an income tax as he la against a tariff tax. . And.' of course, this opposition, too. I for hia conscience's sake. He protests that an income tag might encouraga perjury! f Observing how Mr. Carnegie is thus for what will hurt only others, and against what mar eosslblr hurt him and, all for his ' conscience's sake a senator was moved to remark on Mondays '.:, "w. v . r . "Mr. Carney djd not make the republican party. . ! wish I were jmst aa sure that the republican party did not make Mr.' Carnegie." . , - . , Unfortunately the sad assurance must be the other way.

REPORT SUBMITTED ON INVESTIGATION.

Those Who Toured the City On That Blustry May Day Tell What They Saw on Their Trip. Members of the civic committee, which toured the city mid snow and racing- wind. last Saturday to see how the citizens obaervd tb mayor's proclamation, setting . aside the day for cleaning up purposes, have just sub mitted the following report on their investigations; Commlttee'a Report. The following persons formed the inspection committee on yard cleaning day; Mayor. Schillinger, Prof. Chase. City Engineer Charles, Clerk Merrill, Caleb King, W. P. O'Neal, Mr. Ramsey, George Ballenger, Mrs. Heironimus, Mrs. Hadley, Ruby Clark, Miss Fisher, Miss Crowell , Miss Morris, Benjamin Johnson and Mrs. Stephens. They report as follows: With contrary weather conditions, in face of a biting wind and scurrying whists of winter's beautiful, a compa ny of sixteen set forth to see our city. Every ward was visited and the par ties returned with the prevailing impression that the citizens had generally observed "cleaning day." Freshly cut lawns and piles of trash just put in the alleys testified, that the people had been trying to improve their premises, as advised by our mayor. Yards had been raked,' trees trimmed, weeds dug and walks swept. All this was gratifying, but notwithstanding the apparent effort to beautify the party found that the whole city is marred by quantities of loose papers flying about the streets.' Each one of the committee had this complaint to offer. It is a shame to see the general good order of our city thus violated. Paper upon the lawns or streets detracte from their good appearance, just aa it would if scattered upon the floors of our homes. In front of one of our most beautiful churches ' wa ' reported a great swirl of newspapers, found by the wind on on account of some one's carelessness. A field was seen at the edge of town, with its fences completely outlined with paper as though it had been swept from our sidewalks and pushed out toward the country for the wind to dispose of as best it might. What Is the spirit which allows itself to throw paper upon our streets? It is a plain disregard of the comfort of others, an utter lack of civic conscience and so must be named nothing short of selfishness. "There is no fault with anything God's outward gifts of beauty bring; The evil and the wrong begin Solely from what we are within." 8ome Unsightly Views. The back doors and yards of some business blocks and manufacturing establishments were found unsightly because 'of paper . sacks, advertisement sheets and bills, denoting the neglect of proprietors to properly dispose of such. , A little forethought and care would avert such conditions. Many of the inspection party recommend receptacles for waste paper stationed at intervals upon street cornera. Some large boxes and barrels were "observed upon one important street intended for paper as the overflowing contents testified. The committee is justified in urging relief from the paper nuisance. Some unsightly yards were found, terraces badly needing resodding, many a mass of dandelions. There are' sidewalks not ; Inviting UH an enjoyable stroll, being covered with mud. f Riverdale showed evidence of cleaning and was pronounced improved. Bridge avenue in Fairview would present a most beautiful appearance if the bank north of the bridge were vinecovered. Sevastopol sehool grounds are in excellent order. " Vacant Lot Views. . Some vacant lots were seen covered with wiregrass of cornstubble; some had piles of old lumber, one a number of broken down buggies and wagons. The Seventh ward is reported in excellent order. "Specially clean and beautiful yards were spoken of on Liberty avenue, Von Pein. State, Hunt, Sheridan and Boyer and scores of other streets. One was named "bad" because of old tin cans thrown about. One party saw banana peeling on tha sidewalk a cause for arrest-and fine in St. Louis and Berlin. Mudpuddle3 were seen which could be easily filled and unsanitary conditions eliminated. The suggestions offered for the improvement of our city, are worthy of special attention. More prompt collection of trash, a larger force for cleaning streets, . better systematize! efforts, better understanding: between householders, and street, cleaning department: with better enforcement of laws. Better sidewalks and curbing in some sections.' Keeping up grass plots between walk and curb, vacant lots under compulsory care. Use of more flower; and grass seed, building supplies : kept off sidewalks unless there for immediate use. Every bill board in the city torn down, greatest eyesore in otherwise beautiful town.!' River bank Improved. : Make dumping place in Riverdale; less unsightly. Each member of every home should take prUa ta TfrrTrtra tint home bean

Business College grounds, a few church yards and Starr park all need care. fat,i akeneCtheC'tlzens. ; The committee states that Richmond and its parks are approximating satisfactory conditions, though one member protests that the city, considering the culture of its people, is decidedly not as beautiful as it well might be. Cleaning day has helped awaken the citizens, but higher ideals are needed. Interesting the children is a legitimate part of their education. A group of little ones were working vigorously in a yard on May 1st A teacher passing, stopped to commend: them. They said, "All right. Miss , as soon as we are done ours, we're going to clean where the children are too little to do it." Now, wasn't that splendid? Wasn't this evidence of civic interest worth , all the. effort of all who have striven for a more beautiful city? Early cleaning day children were out ready for battle with King Dirt, but the Storm King drove them in. One boy was seen still hard at work when .thai snow was flying In the afternoon. Two men kept up their whitewashing as if to rival the elements in- purity. ' Men in two different yards were seen through the fast falling flakes, hotly pursuing their denning till the night drove them In. . 'X-Express Appreciation. The Civic committee desires to express the great appreciation to the city government, the cKizens,. the schools and the clubs for their co-operation in the yard cleaning movement. They are grateful to the Inspection : party for their aid. The eight business men, the high school students, the ladies of the Athenaea, Domestic Science and Aftermath clubs were assuredly not out for fun on such a blustry day. We bespeak, a kindly reception of their suggestions and observations. Especially do they extend thanks to the following gentlemen, who kindly 'gave the use of their autos to the above party: Mr. Haughton of the Buick company, Mr. Martin of the ; Moline barns, Mr. Stanley of the Maxwell Co., and Mr. Morel. The Civic committee would further say that they sincerely value the very large assistance rendered them by the daily papers. They desire to recommend ' most earnestly the use of printers' ink as the most intelligent means of advertisement. In behalf of the committee, , , -MRS. P. W. STEPHENS, Chairman. The Art ef Being Happy. X3ieerfnlneas," says Buskin, "is as natural to the heart of man In strong; health aa glow to his cheek, and wherever there J kaMtaal gloom there most be either bad air, unwholesome food, improperly severe labor or erring habits of life." If children were taught that one of the great life duties is to unfold the fern loving side of their nature, the hnsaorevs side, there weed not be so many solefdes. so many unhappy, discordant, miserable people, so many faJmres in the world. Why shouldn't w develop the humor faculty, the run lovtag faculty. Just as much as . the bread ming or any other faculty? Why should we think Jt Is so very necessary to spend years in going to school and college to develop other mental faculties and yet take practically no pains whatever to develop the lraaorona, the fnn loving ete of owatsm?-nccea Magarlne

Heart to Heart Talks'. By EDWIN A. NYE. Copy.igM, 1908, by Edwin A. Nyt TIT lOR. TAT . Herein Is richness: A New York city health inspector went to a Chenango county farm and' prepared his inspector's report, giving the farm 63 per cent on a scale of 100. The defects pointed out were these: The barn windows had not been properly washed, the inside walls ef the stable were net whitewashed, horses were kept In the same barn with the cows, the cows bad not been clipped, and their udders had not been regularly washed with warm water before milking. WeU .", The farmer was getting less than S cents a quart for hla raflk out of which to pay a high feed bill. He was obHged to get up before daylight every morning to do the milking. He thought over the Inspector's report and concluded be had a reply coming. Therefore be sent a letter to the health department in which he gave the city of New York a sanitary condition of 23 per cent on a scale of 100! These are some of the things he suggested in his report: The tearing down of rickety tenements and fire traps where the light of heaven never enters and fresh air Is a stranger. r The providing of decent living quarters for the human beings that live In cellars. The . cleansing and disinfecting of places where the poor are compelled to labor and whitewashing the same. The feeding ef thousands ef school children who go breakfastless to school or snpperless to bed. ; . The overhauling of the sewer system. , v v.-: . ' . v: V Making the city as sanitary, aa well lighted and ventilated for human beings as the Chenango county barns are for cows. :- That was what J.' B. Brown, farmer ef Chenango, wrote to . the health department. , . In a further communication to the newspapers Mr, Brown said he would be glad to bathe his cows, build a separate horse stable, calcimine his barn, jast as he weald be glad to put hot water heat and electric light In his house, have a mahogany piano, hard wood floors, Persian rags and an auto, mobile if somebody would pay him 10 cents Instead of 3 cents for hia milk. ::s r.. '-.-:. :r- ' There is a lot of common sense as well as grim humor In Farmer Brown's Whatever the need of better sanitary conditions on dairy farms, there Is no excuse for the insanitary meat shacks of the large dtlea. Sad scenes on the Republic at the time of the recent, disaster .were not wholly without humorous : Incidents. A bald-headed gentleman was accosted by a woman whose hair was streaming down her back and wbo asked htm excitedly If he had a comb about him. Describing' the incident, he says: "I looked at her very sadly. Then I took off my hat." - -
