Hamilton, =~ Art Eslitor, Judge's Birthday Number. NEXT Saturday, Octo- ber 29th, Jupce will be twenty-nine years old. A special Birthday Num- ber will be issued on this anniversai It will contain not only the regular number of pages, but several more ‘‘to grow on."’ In making his first bow to the public, Jupcr said, “My only object is to make people laugh and grow fat, so as to require more cloth for their clothes, in this way helping indirectly the manufacturing inter- ests of the country. I have not come to crowd anybody else out, but only to make one more to assist the world to see the joy- ous side of life."’ Now for twenty-nine years the jolly old fellow ‘has dried men’s tears and bid them grin instead. A special feature of the Birthday Number will be an able review of the political bat- tles in which Jupce has fought. President Taft, Vice-President Sherman, Speaker Can- non, and a host of other prominent men have sent ‘kind words,’’ many of which JupcEe will print. Wit and humor will be found in this num- JUDGE ber, which is filled to the brim and running over with good things. There will be enough pieces of the “funny cake’ to go around, provided that you notify your news- dealer in advance to save you a copy of next week’s Jupce. ‘What America Needs.” wie making no pretensions of being a religious paper, Juncr: does believe that the editor of the Wall Street Journal has correctly diagnosed the conditions of this country in an editorial on ‘*What is the matter not only with Kansas, but also with the rest of the States?’ (He did not use just these words for a caption, but he could have done so.) “‘What America needs more than railway extension, and Western irrigation, and a bigger wheat crop, and a merchant marine, and a new navy, is a revival of piety, the a OLD RULES, 1909, petty and big, of worship of fine houses and big lands, and high office and grand social functions."’ Tear Down the Billboards. Y RIGHT, public opinion ought to sustain the de- cision, recently rendered at Pueblo, Col., that scenic beauty is an asset of pecuniary value. If this assertion be true, why should beautiful bits of landscape, both in town and in country, be disfigured by hideous bill- boards? The proper place for billboards is on the woodpile. In cities they are nothing but disease breeders. One of these days health officials will wake up to this fact and will order them split up into kindling wood at the municipal woodyard. NEW RULES, 1910. HOW MUCH BETTER ARE THE NEW FOOTBALL RULES THAN THE OLD ONES? kind father and mother used to have—piety that counted it good business to stop for daily family prayer before breakfast, right in the middle of harvest; that quit field work a half hour earlier Thursday night, so as to get the chores done and go to prayer meeting. That's what we need now to clean the country of filth, of graft, and of greed, Fiseni~ A FAITHFUL WARDEN, Keeper Taft—'* They will not get out while I hold the keys."* Brief Decisions from the Bench. ITH apologies to our English = cousins, the immortal words of Collector Loeb, of the port of New York, seem to be, ‘America expects every woman to pay her duty.” Many men who complain about playing second fiddle ought to be glad that they are in the orches- tra at all. If talk be cheap, what is meant. by “extravagant language’? The wheels of progress are al- ways oiled with ‘elbow grease.’’ In the case of the actress, puffs are said to make both her complexion and her reputa- tion. ‘The reason why there is 80 much room at the top is that when people get there they seldom stay for any length of time. YONKERS is nothing if not enterprising. Its Chamber of Commerce has just is- sued a pamphlet setting forth the attractions of the Terrace City. By way of title it has, “Yonkers, Next to the Largest City in the United States.’”
