Last year at considerable e>
pense to the city, maps were prf
pared with the correct numbei
ings of each property in the cit
limits and placed in the office o
the city clerk to allow all propert
owners to obtain the correct nun
ber of their property. The fac
was brought before the Chambe
of Commerce at their last meetin:
that this facility was not take;
advantage of and that the nun
, bers.on many of the propertie
' still remained incorrect. This i
very confusing to anyone who i
hunting for a certain place fo
they may find two or more of th
same numbers on the same street
and also to mail deliveries for th
same reason. This fact prove:
very exasperating to the Chambe

that was bestowed in this work
This is a vital question to all ta:
payers of the city and should b
acted upon immediately. At thi
meeting which was held in Salen
M. E. Church, many short talk:
were given by prominent member:
-of the Chamber, and a committei
of Walter W. Whitman, George S
Brooks and Amos Hall, to lool
into the matter of providing i
public playground for the childrei
of the community. If this plan i:
feasible it will be given the con
sideration of the Chamber.
I he ordinance presented bj
Pleasantville to the Supreme
Court to limit the speed of train;
through the city limits, has beei
turned aside as unwarranted
r This was mainly because the or
' dinance prohibited the locomotive;
running through any part of th<
city over 12 miles an hour, evei
over the crossings protected bj
gates. The court held that the
Railroad Act of 1903 provided al
trains to control their own speeds
^ as long as the tracks were pro
tected from the crossings by gates
and where they adjoin a public
highway by fences.

interesting, .his humorous sayings
causing much merriment among

Prevaifing Culture
of the Leisure Class

not? For what other purpose
are they set apart in elegant
leisure? And nobly do they climb
up to the duties of their position.
They associate together in eso
teric, intellectual societies. Every
one is a part of many clubs, the
object of which is knowledge and
the broadening of the intellectual
horizon. Science, languages, lit
erature, are their daily food.
They can speak in many tongues;
they can talk about the solar
spectrum; they can interpret,
Chaucer, criticise Shakespeare,
understand Browning. There is
no literature, ancient or modem,
that they do not dig up by the
roots and turn over, no history
that they do not drag before the
club for final judgment. In every
little village there is this intel
lectual stir and excitement.
au mis is raainiy tne worn ot
women. The men are sometimes
admitted, are even hired to per
form and be encouraged and crit
icised; that is, men who are al
ready highly cultivated, or who
are in sympathy with the noble
feminization of the age. It is a
glorious movement. Its pro
fessed object is to give an in
tellectual lift to society. And
no doubt, unless all reports are
exaggerated, it is making our
great leisure class of women
highly intellectual beings. But,
encouraging as this prospect is,
it gives us pause. Who are these
•young women to associate with?
With whom are they to hold high
converse? For life is a twofold
aiiixiL. ^ilxiu meantime wnat is
being done for ithe young men
who are expected to share in the
high society of the future? Will
not the young women by and by
find themselves in a lonesome
place, cultivated away beyond
their natural comrades? Where
will they spend their evenings?
This sobering thought suggests to
the writer a duty that the young
women are neglecting. We refer
to the education of the young
men. It is all very well for them
to form clubs for their own ad
vancement, and they ought not
to incur the charge of selfishness
in so doing; but how much better
would they fulfill their mission if
they would form special societies
for the cultivation of young men—
sort of intellectual mission bands.
Bring them into the literary cir
cle. Make it attractive for them.
.Women with their attractions, not
Ho speak of their wiles, can do
anything they set out to do. They
can elevate the entire present
generation of young men, if they
give their minds to it, to care
for the intellectual pursuits they
care for. Give the men a chance
and
The writer was musing along
in this way when he was suddenly
pulled up 'by the reflection that
it is impossible to make an un
qualified statement that is wholly
true about anything. What
chance have I, anyway? inquires
the young man who thinks some
times, and occasionally wants to
read. What sort of leading
strings are these that I am get
ting into? Look at the drift of
things. Is the feminization of
the world a desirable thing for a
vigorous future? Are the wo
men, or are they not, taking all
the virility out of literature? An
swer me that. All the novels are
written by, for or about women
—brought to their standard, j
Even a certain noted writer, who
studies the sex untiringly, speaks
about the “feminization of lit
erature.” They write most of the
newspaper correspondence—and
write it for women. They are
even trying to feminize the col
leges. Granted that woman is
the superior being; all the more,
what chance is there for man if
this sort of thing goes on? Are
you going to maice a race ol men
on feminine fodder? And here
is the still more perplexing part
of it. Unless all analysis of the
female heart is a delusion, and
all history false, what women like
most of all things in this world
is a man, virile, forceful, com
pelling, a solid rock of depend
ence, a substantial, unfeminine
being, whom it is some satisfac
tion and glory and interest to
govern and rule in the right way,
and twist around the feminine fin
ger. If women should succeed in

reducing or raising—of course
raising—men to the feminine
standard, by feminizing society,
literature, the colleges and all
that, would they not turn on their
creations—for even the Bible in
timates that women are uncer
tain—and go in search of a man?
It is this sort of blind instinct of
the young man for preserving
himself in the world that makes
him so inaccessible to the good
he might get from the prevailing
culture of the leisure class.
