BEAUTIES OF NATURE
John Burroughs.
It may be observed that what we
call beauty of nature is mainly
negative beauty; that is, the mass,
the huge rude background, made
ap of recks, trees, hills, moun
tains. plains, water, has not beauty t
as a positive character, visible
to all eyes, but affords the mind
the conditions of beauty, namely,
health, strength, fitness, etc.,
beauty being an experience of the
beholder. Some, things, on the
other- hand, ns flowers, foliage,
J>rilliant colors, sunsets, rainbows,
waterfalls, may be said to be
beautiful in and of themselves;
but how wearisome the world
would be without the vast nega
tive background upon which these
things figure and which provokes
and stimulates the mind In a way
the purely fair forms do not!
TODAY
BY ARTHUR BRISBANE
President Coolidge, praising the
Red Cross, suggests that wars be
eliminated by “practical idealism.”
It is a beautiful abstract thought.
For the United States just now,
however, the best peace Insurance
would be found in 10,000 practical
fliers, with first class machines to
fly in, capable of carrying mail in
peace, bombs and poison gas In war.
Practical power enables a na
tion to develop its “practical ideal
ism” without being suddenly knock
ed over the head in the midst of its
idealism.
In a California decision, the state
attorney general forbids, in public
schools, even the Lord’s Prayer, in
the way of religion. There is no
doubt that the public school system
should teach the three R’s and other
positive knowledge, leaving religious
teaching to the discretion of par
ents.
It Is wise to keep all religious
teaching or favoritism out of public
schools. On the other hand, it is un
wise, and an outrageous interference
with the rights of parents to tell
them that they cannot at their own
expense, send their children to pri
vate or parochial schools where re
ligion is taught—provided that edu
cational requirements are met.
Bishop Hughes, presiding over the
Methodist Episcopal church, says
that, apart from his general views
on capital punishment, he would
hang the Rev. Lawrence M. Hlghi,
who killed his own wife to get. an
other woman and made that woman
kill her husband.
Capital punishment is abominable,
but an exception in its favor misht
be well made in the case of the llev.
Mr. Hight. If it were possible, he
ought to be hanged twice, once for a
double murder and once for dis
gracing a most noble, unselfish call
ing. They used to do that in China,
strangling a man almost to death a
dozen times or more, before killing
him. They used to saw criminals
lengthwise for parricide.
When you hear talk against "big
business” as though It were a bad
thing in itself ask a few questions.
Did* you know that Canada and
Australia are in a combination—pro
perly—to help each other's business
at the expense of the United States?
Did you know that Germany and
France, enemies in other things,
combine to regulate and maintain
the prices that the United States
must pay for fertilizer?
Are you aware that Czecho-Slo
vakia and Roumanla are preparing
a "trade defense pact?”
It is necessary to have “big busi
ness” to meet and compete with big
biz” across the ocean, which is or
ganized on an international scale.
The Duke of Devonshire’s house in
Piccadilly is to be pulled down—■
many Americans remember the yel
low wall around it. The site will be
occupied by apartments on the
American plan and an American
architect, Thomas Hastings, will
boss the job. Mr. Hastings is the
man who got the gold medal from
the king.
The English are willing to learn
even from an American. They could
learn a great deal about practical
building from L. J. Horowitz, who is
there now.
On big building operations in Eng
land they still have men crawling up
ladders, carrying bricks and mortar,
as they probably did on the Tower
of Babel.
Mr. Frelinghuysen, /ormerly sena
tor from New Jersey, has bought the
Newark Press, a tabloid evening
newspaper.
Wishing Senator Frelinghuysen
the best of luck, it is only fair to
warn him that he will now go
through an experience that will
make politics seem like child’s play.
One year’s financing of a new news
paper is a whole education in itself.
Gould heirs fighting over the
millions left by old Jay Gould, are

Whenever they meet in court it
costs the heirs $2,500 an hour. And

the fact that money is of no impor

Two Cities Break World Records
In Giving Rebates to Taxpayers
From the Christian Science Monitor.
Knoxville, Tenn., recently gave its taxpayers a pleasant surprise
by declaring a dividend of 10 per cent, for them in the shape of a
rebate on their taxes for the current fiscal year of the city. The
total sum was $280,000, a surplus saved out of the expenses of run
ning the city’s business for the year. This achievement was
ascribed by Knoxville—and the explanation was generally accept
ed—to the fact that the city’s affairs are run on the city manager
plan and that the town had selected an efficient business head.
Now comes a much larger city, Baltimore, with a similar story.
Its mayor announces that by Jan. 1, 1925, the city will have a sur
plus of $1,500,000 over and above the amount of current taxes that
will have been collected at that time and also a surplus of $1,0(K),>
000 in collections of arrearages, penalties, and interest, making a
grand total, which the citizens will surely consider “grand,” of
$2,500,000. The dividend that the citizen stockholders of Balti
more will receive will also take the form of a reduction of the tax
rate of approximately 10 per cent.
The mayor declares that this financial showing is the result of
putting all the departments of the municipal government on a bus
iness basis. There will be large savings in department appropria
tions for this year and in other accounts, he says, which are likely
to increase the total surplus to $3,000,000, but the dividend that
the city will be in a position to declare will be based on tax collec
tions only.
Without a doubt the mayor is right in attributing Baltimore’!
good fortune to the employment of business methods only in all
the affairs of the city. Coming so soon after the Knoxville record
made under the city management system, the Baltimore achieve
ment in a city with a mayor and the ordinary kind of municipal
government is especially interesting and encouraging. It shows
that it is not so much the system used that produces such unusual
but excellent results in city financing as it is the employment of
sound business methods by officials who know how to use them and
are sincerely in earnest in putting them into effect in all branches
of municipal affairs.
Baltimore officials are naturally inclined to boast of their per
formance and to call attention to the fact that their success was
made with a regular and ordinary form of city government, and
not, as in the case of Knoxville, through any experimental city
manager plan. Here is a chance for an enlivening and most profit
able race or contest among American cities. Supposing a number
of big towns with common or garden styles of government should
start in to prove that they can use business methods and save mor<
money than municipalities that employ city managers. Supposing
the city manager cities should take up the challenge and do their
best to show that this could not be done, but that their way wae
the only one that would produce the desired results.
What an entertaining competition this would be and what im
mense profit it would bring to the taxpayers of cities that entered

And day by day the dead leaves fall

And night by night the monitory

Wails in the keyhole, telling how it

O’er empty fields, or upland solitudes
Or grim, wide wave; and now the
power is felt
Of melancholy, tenderer in its moods
Than any joy indulgent Summer
dealt.

I saw old Autumn in the misty morn
Stand shadowless like silence,
listening
To silence, for no lonely bird would
sing
Into his hollow ear from woods for
lorn,
Nor lowly hedge nor solitary thorn;
Shaving his languid locks all dewy
bright
With tangled gossamer that fell by
night,
Pearling his coronet of golden corn.
—Hood.
O, Autumn, laden with fruit and
stained
With the blood of the grape, pass not

Beneath my shady roof; there thou

And tune thy jolly voice to my

And all the daughters of the vear
shall dance!
Sing now the lusty song of fruits and
flowers.

A Loafer eat on an empty dgoods

A Boy and his Father came by and

he said. And the Bey was impressed.
A Successful Man walked by and

“I wish I were as happy as that fel

From the Milwaukee Journal.
Qreat rejoicings In the Coolidge
camp followed the declarations that
Gov. McMaster of South Dakota, wht
beat the regular Senator Sterling foi
nomination to the Senate, would sup
port Coolidge and Dawes. For there
is more joy over one radical whu
puts on a party button thar.
over a dozen republicans who stay
regular.
But now Gov. McMaster goes a bit
further. ‘‘Yes, I'll support Coolidge
and Dawes,” lie says, "but If elected,
and it's necessary, I'll Join the farm
bloc or any other bloc.” So here Is
another senator who won’t follow
the party leadership. Like Brookhart
and Couzens, he’ll do as he pleases,
and the heads of the party won’t
have anything to say because they're
so glad to get a kind word in the
election.
Afterwards, when congress isn’t
getting anywhere and the presi
dent, if it should be Mr. Coolidge
again, can’t get any more support for
his measures than he did last spring,
the air will be filled with excuses
about these wicked blocs, made up
of men who aren't really republicans
—men nevertheless against whom no
finish fight was waged when the
campaign was on, or even In the con
vention at Cleveland. If Mr. Cool
ldge is elected, he cannot have a
congress; that is plain now. But It
is no plainer than the fact that the
party Isn’t making a fight on prin
ciple where it can get a Brookhart
or a Couzens or a McMaster to sup
pert the ticket—or even to remain
silent and not support the La Follette
ticket.
