Each of the improvement clubs of Berkeley has placed itself on record as favering the issue of bonds for munic- ipal improvements, the North Berkeley club being the latest to express its ap- proval of the project. The advantage of co-operation among all the improvement clubs of the city— the Ashby, North Berkeley, South Berkeley and West Berkeley organiza- tions—to secure the passage of a bond issue and to accomplish other desirable things is now being discussed by mem- bers, and leading spirits in the organiza- tion are proposing a consolidation of the clubs which would be effective, they say, in the work of creating sentiment fn tavor of the proposed bond issue. It is proposed to form the joint as- soclation on lines similar to those adopted by the Progress Federation of Alameda County, which includes repre- | sentatives of improvement clubs, and mercantile bodies whose interests are jdentical with those of the clubs.

They agye arranged alphabetically. One bookkeeper may have his accounts ranging from A to AR. His entries are set down for him by a force of young womepn, who re- cord accounts with a speclally buoit typewriter.

The question is naturally askedy “Why and how are bad men in office if the people do not put them there?* The simple truth is that the people da put them there. If the city governe ment is made up of thieves and ras~ cals it is because th: alleged best citie zens put them in office either by vote ing for them or by failing to vote against them. The failure to vote id the crime of the American citizen. These | same citizens keep careful enough watch over their money, thets property and their private business. They take great pains to see that theie employes are honest and faithful, and they do all in their power to keep robe bers out of their bank vaults and strong boxes. But they utterly neglect to look after their public business.— New Orleans Picayune. ————— Exports From Farm and Factory. The latest report of the departmen® of labor and commerce is interesting as showing the sfowth of manufac- turing in the country and the increased domestic consumption of breadstuffs. For the first time in our history we are exporting more produets from our fac- tories than from our farms. While the shipments of our farm products have gained by 36 per cent in the last de- cade, the exports from our factories have mounted up to 146 per cent.
