DOES IT PAY? Does it pay to murder the character of any business or professional man who is a candidate for office Does it pay to strike down reputable citizens with Intent to ruin their business, simply because tneir mends support them for office? Does it pav to use against honorable and prominent sue cessful business men methods of the sneak thief and the highwayman? Does it pay to fight a man who stands in the open, after the manner of the camp-follower and the despoiler of the dead? Does it pay anyone, newspaper editor or business man, to say in the heat of political conflict a mean, cowardly, indecent, inexcusable thing against another man Does it pay a community, a city, a state, or a nation to have any citizen resort to disreputable, dishonorable, in excusable, and outrageous attacks on any other citizen, simply because the man attacked may happen to differ from the man making the attack Is it in the interests of eood morals or civilization ior one man to make a murderous assault upon the character of another? Is not the man who at tempts to break down reputation, to ruin business, on as low a grade as a man who openly destroys property or secretly takes life? Does it pay any community to tolerate without rebuke the practice of murdering reputations and ruining business as a means of forwarding or thwarting political aspirations These are questions for the people to answer.

When the time comes that one business man may assail another with no thought of consequences and conspire to ruin his business without rebuke, then civilization will be a failure. Inter Ocean.

"A friend in need appeared indeed, as we alighted from an elevator on the I top floor of the sky-scraper, on the afternoon of the last day of grace.

In desperation we suddenly 'held him up with the demand for a name. But he was equal to this, as he had been to many another emergency, for he mused and mulled a moment over our preference for something common, and, as he stepped into the car 'going down, said, 'Call it Chicago Commons. It was done, and better than that moment knew was the name builded. For its popular lineage was really behind it; woven through English history. As the freemen of the race organized in their early shires, municipalities and guilds, and later on combined to form one body representing the wholepeople, without any primary distinction of class, came to be known as 'the To this ideal of social democracy, the name adds the fSTestion of those few patches of mother earth still unclaimed as private property, which at least afford standing room equally for all, irrespective of pecuniary circumstances or social status.

A SOCIAL CLEARING HOUSE. So we called our household and its homestead'Chicago in hope that it might be a common center where the masses and the classes could meet and mingle as men and exchange their social values in sometings like a 'clearing house' for thecommo.nwealth, where friendship, neighborship and fellow-citizenship might form the personal bonds of that social unification which alone can save our American democracy from disruption, cloven as it is under the increasing social stress and strain, and where that brotherhood of which we talk and sing may be more practically lived out and inwrought." There have grown up around this home-center a number of activities and interests in the way of educational classes, social clubs and friendly groups. A kindergarten meets every morning except Saturday and Sunday, and our offer to interest our more resourceful friends in teaching those who feel the need of further study has resulted in the gathering of classes in all branches of -practical knowledge, including science, art, music and domestic economy. Two fine choruses, one of children and one of adults, are progressing well in the study and appreciation of good music. A weekly meeting of men and women representing all classes discuss industrial and economic questions.

Assembly Herald. The Age of the Poster. A veritable art, then, with all that characterizes and accompanies it, is borne to us in the illustrated poster, It has its esthetics, its critics, its ama teurs, its historians. It is really the mama or the day.

It any one stu doubted it, as we like to doubt what ever is new, he might turn over the leaves of some works and visit some galleries which would convince him The fine book of M. Maindon and many other articles and essays would abundantly inform him; the collection almost unique brought together byLa Plume, the little review which inter ests itself so passionately in mura chromo-lithography, would continue to initiate him. Finally, the publica' tion undertaken just now by the firm of Chaix and entitled Masters of the Poster, in which there are reproduced with much care and elegance the most celebrated posters, would completely enlighten hin. These pictures of a day or of an hour, washed off by the rains, char coaled by the urchins, burned by the sun, covered over by others sometimes even before they are dry, symbolize to a more intense degree than the press the rapid, jolting, multitudinous life that bears us along. Of this life the poster is a continual reflection.

It mingles with it while reproducing it and reproduces it while mingling with it, as the instability of the water re produces the trembling of the leaves while adding to their trembling. It stores up not only the rapidity, but also the acuteness and the cruelty of life, to reproduce them in strange cries with the deformities of the phono graph. It gives back by its indefin able colors, its perverse tone, its strangeness, all that that life in its brevity contains and gives of disturb ing joltings, of intense vanities, of ephemeral frenzies, of sickly efforts toward the sun and victory, destined for the sorry mud of the gutter. The life of the past was strong and slow; its natural expression was found in architecture, in the great things in stone that required the pick and the fire to destroy them; the present life is feverish and disconnected, reflecting many colors, and is summed up in the poster, put up in the morning, torn down in the evening, destined for the street cleaner's cart, and yet embody ing a concentrated art. How true it is that the only really living arts, the only ones destined to remain as witnesses of an age, are the arts that really have sprung from the sap and the root of that age.

The poster in this respect springs from our age, as the parthenon sprang from that of Greece, and as the cathedrals from the Middle Ages. This coloring thrown upon fine paper sums up as completely, as mysteriously, the modern world as the decorations of old doorways solidly fixed in stone sum up older ages.

CHICAGO COMMONS. What the Social Settlement Stands for.

GRAHAM TAYLOR. Chicago Commons is a social settle ment located in the Seventeenth Ward of Chicago, at 140 North Union street, near Milwaukee avenue. It was founded in May, 1894, and consists of a group of people who couldlive else where, but who choose their place of residence with a view of being where they they seem to be needed rather thanwhere the neighborhood offers the most of social prestige and privi lege. They are there because they be lieve in the sharing of life; that most of the mischief of the modern social situation arises from the distant sepa ration of classes, of the educated and privileged from those whose conditions have always been those of unremit ting and poorly rewarded toil; because they believe that none can permanent' ly help or really be helped by another whose life he does not understand. To share the life of the neighbor hood, its comforts and discomforts, its privileges and its responsibilities, its political and civic and personal duties and pleasures, the little group at the Commons has established its home in the Seventeenth Ward There was no idea of building up a new institution, a new kind of mis sion, or any substitute for churches; no intention of making proselytes to any sect or denomination, but simply the hearty desire to make a home among homes, where the folks in it could share their lives with their neighbors without the artificial bar riers of form that separate man from man in the more conventional kinds of life.

The Commons residents desired also to offer a place that should become a social center, where the values of life could be shared, where the things of the daily toil could be laid aside for the time and man could meet with man and woman with woman upon the basis only of common humanity, wnere tnose whose homes are some what small and cramped could find opportunity for the social gatherings impossible in the smaller quarters. As to the name by which our house, ourselves and our work here with the neighborhood have become well-known not only in the vicinity but also throughout the country, and, indeed, in other lands, we can scarcely do better to make its meaning clear than to repeat the substance of explana tion of its selection given by Professor Taylor in a former issue of Chicago Commons THE SETTLEMENT NAME. "When in search tor the settle ment's name, we grouped for weeks after some title which had at its root. if not in its form, that good old English word common. For the idea of the sharing of what each has equally with all, and all with each, of what belongs to no one and no class, but to every one of the whole body, is the idea underlying not only this word and its equivalents in many tongues, but the.
