THE BUILDING OF A CITT. No laml upon which he sun shines grants to the youth such possibilities as our country. N nation has better Institutions of learning; no country bettor places for dvancment than oura. Whenever you so from Atlantic to Pacific, from the northern boundry line to the gulf you find only the foot print i)t progress and Industry. No matter of what birth the father or, mother wan, un maUr f how meagre a homestead or of what creed, there I that opportunity of rising to hlgtier things, to better conditions. ' To grace the highest chair of the na tion does not require the pedigree of royal blood, nor of far-reaebinsf an cestral record. It is what tire indi vidual himself is that places him In the position of trust, honor and re spect. When over the land came, the thrilling cry of men to arms, to fight, to suffer, to die. If need be, for their country, the -nestion wa not asked. Who are you, and w ho was your fath er, your mother, etc. But what can you do? So with today the city tan only be as great as the men who Hve in It, desire to make It. " Not more men, but better men." Is the need of the world today. Men whose heart -blood pulsates for country, home and honor. Men. whose every effort shall be cashed In honest action for the bet terment of thMr, town or city, county or state. Men who will cast their vote not where public sentiment lays or lives, but where '.te?y feel inacience dictates, not because the man has a record of office-holding, but because he will work for the people In the best and most helpful manner. Such men can be found and are found. The great need of a city is the best gov ernment attainable, the best discipline. The cleanest city streets and byways; a clean moral people. Not more laws, but better and more strict enforce ment of the laws as they read. " Rome was not built in a day," nor can a city become a clean and virtuous city In a day, a week or a year, but with persistent struggling, determined work and proper discretion, the city, wheresoever it be located, will event ually become a good city and its peo ple honest, industrious and moral peo ple.

S In order to attain su a condition; but It Is a well-known fact that the " twig bendeth so the tree grow." and If precautionary steps 'vl taken in due time when danger and downfall hovers near, then only ruin and sorrow fills the olutfrs, which virtue and Integrity, honesty and mor ality should Justly flit. The building of a city Is not only the erecting of buildings and railway, but the making of manhood and. wom anhood. The ensuing of men and women who shall live as titiiens of the city. Therefore one of the most essential things necessary 'to majce- the city a success Is the Instituting of the principles of justice, patriotism and virtue. Character Is the predominant stepping stone toward making a city. Good mothers is what France needs," said Napoleon, "and she will haw good sons," So with America. tkxd cltliens, honest men in office and tem perance better enforced and the vic tory Is won. Not things, but men: not matter, but minds Is needed. IN MEMOKiAM. Through a country of activity and constant labor, we pause very often to bestow upon ihe graves of our hon ored dead a wreath or blo.mi. or to post a flag1 at the heal of th- narrow mound. We have our days for honor ing these, but still though a beauti ful custom and ever 1t,'1'u''y kept. U also thrills the patriotic hear!, when the Nation's chosen men meet and for mulate plans, for the commemorating of some noble life by the erection of a monument or statue. But still though these honored dead are be yond the bellowing of the cannons, be yond the music of the bugles, beyond ever the fairest words of praise we might utter In appro-al of their deeds of valor or their Christian lives, still the building of all these monuments are an Inspiration to the oncoming generations. It instills in the youthful hearts the feeling of patriotism and loyalty. It Is of course a well-known truth that the lives of our martyrs will never die, yet as a country's ap preciation and respect, we build to them a monument of stone. AGUINALDO. Testifying before the committee on Insular Affairs recently Senator Buen camlon, formerly secretary of Aguinal do, told of the manner In which the ex-dictator of the Philippines was taken of by his American captors.

The witness said Agufnaldo lived in this house with his family, with a physician at his disposal, a retinue of servants, a carriage and all allowance to provide food for the establishment. Aguinaldo recently told the head of the Methodist Missions In the Philip pines that If he had known how the U.
