Round Pegs in SQUARE Holes.

A great deal OF misdirected effort
in this blundering world is due to-
the fact that people are compelled
to engage in work which they dis
like. when just around the corner,
SO to speak, is work which they
might love. Ambitious parents de-
cree that the lad who would make
a painter, whose eye for color and
form is true, on whose soul re-
spends and fingers thrill to the
vibrating chords Of melody, shall
instead enter a counting room. and
be apprenticed to a business for
which he has no aptitude SIM
ilarly. a boy who would succeed in
farming or in the carpenters shop
is destined TO a liberal profession,
and compelled TO undergo a long
course Of training for this, which.
owing to his lack Of fitness, is al
mcst abortive in its results Half
the failures and defeats In life
may be attributed 10 the placing
of the round peg in The square hole.
Men and women are forced TO work
at that which they dislike, and
which does not enlist their highest
powers.
We ought never to forget, in Ous
estimate of success as opposed to
failure, that there lis a higher stand
ard than the merely material one.
To succeed financially may be to
fail morally and IN our ardent push
ing, commercial country we need
constantly TO set before our boys
and girls the love of work for the
work own sake. The immortal
words Of Agassiz, when invited Go
undertake certain enterprise.
with the inducement that So doing
would be financially very profit
able, cannot be too often repeated
81 have no time to make
money.
All noble work is conseerated
work. 1t involves sacrifice, self
denial, pain; il requires endurance.
1t may be wrought in obscurity,
and over its victories no song Of
triumph may be raised. But if the
worker love it, aud his loiling Is
hallowed by sincerity, by generous
impulse. by unselish devotion to
others welfare, the work viii be
its own reward. Harper's Bazaar

A GUTHRIE dispatch of the 9th
has information to the effect that
there are fully 25, 900 cattle on the
Strip, and the government seems
to be making ne effort to remove
them. The cowboys have estab-
lished themselves in permanent
camps and are prepared to stay all
summer. A large number Of the
cattle have wandered up near the
Kansas line, near Hunnewell, and
the farmers are very much in
censed. as they fear their cattle
will take the Texas fever. They
are organizing. and say if the gov
ernment does not act soon they
will shoot the cattle.

IT is a noticeable fact that the
prairies are getting much more
weedy than they were few years
ago. This means that the hay in

grazing interests. Constant tramp

the native grasses and the weeds
are getting foothold.

FOR THURsTON COUNTY,

There is no question about the ability of
Olympia to take care of the state conYen-
tion should it come here, and there never
has been any. There are not half dozen
men in the city who will make an assertion
to the contrary. When The TRIBUNE first
urged that the state convention be held
here it satisfied itself that there was room
enough to house and feed the people; and
for convention purposes it pointed to the
spacious Olympia theater What is now
wanted as stated yesterday by The TRIB-
uNE is some decided action, some practical
results. Money is to be raised: The re-
publican state convention which last met
in Tacoma to nominate a Congressman cost
the people of Tacoma about $500. Nearly
that sum will be needed here. Olympia
can raise it if she will go about it at once.
1t ought to be pledged before the Seattle
convention assemblies.
The idea, however, that the Thurston
county delegation must go to the conyen-
tion and say 1--WE don't want any represen-
tative to go to Minneapolis; give US the
convention and we win be satisfied, is
ridiculous. That's a good deal like Pierce
county at Walla Walla three years ago
The able delegation from the city of destiny
said: ''Pierce county does NOT want any
thing now, but wants a United State sen
ator after a while" 1t got nothing. The
Thurston delegation to the Seattle conven
ton, it must be remembered will not all hal
from Olympia. 1t is a Thurston county
delegation, and while a representative
republican from this county sem
to Minneapolis by that convention
would be satisfying to the whole county
the county delegates are certainly not go
ing to trade off q chance to send such !
representative for the purpose Of getting a
state convention held in Olympia. Will
proper effort both can be secured? Thc
argument all along has been, that state
conventions are usually held in state capi
tails. That being the case, why make I
bargain in the Seattle convention for wha
clearly belongs to US by right. Thurstor
county should see to it that one of its rep
resentatiYe republicans is sent to Mime
apolis as one of the eight representative
from this state, and it should also make q
fight for the state convention to be held
where they are generally held in Other
states-at the capital
, 1892-03-17

THE desire of a few in this city to pre-
YentThurston county from having rep
resentatiYe among the delegates at Min
neapolis is in harmony with that same old
spirit that has kept the party in this county
from having any strength in state politics.
However, it is said MOTTO be so much the
fear that it will lessen our chances to have
the state convention here, as. it is a longing
to be delegate with fear of defeat linger-
ing near. This is a subject for honorable
differences Of opinion and ought to be de-
ternined upon principles of right and
party county pride. This s'one thing at
a time" idea is as narrow and senseless as
it is selfish and ruinous to any community
deserving consideration.

INCREASE THEgR RAY.


Both the house and senate have at last
bsen reused to the claims of the brave men
who compose the life saving service corps
along the coasts of the country. The SEN
ate has passed a bill increasing the pay of
the surfmen from $50 to $65 a month, and
that Of the keepers to 5000 year. This is
a good bill, but the report Of the committee
on foreign and interstate commerce, on a
similar measure made to the house by Rep
resenfative O'Neill, of Missouri, lis a much
better one. This bill provides chat the
compensation of life-saving station keep
ers be increased from 500 and $500 to S1 .00O
a year, and of surfmen from SEQ to S75 a
month Of actual service. The amount Of
this proposed increased compensation is
not dollar too much, and there should BE-
no doubt as to what should be done
with the bill. Every member Of the
house of representatives should sup
port it and press it to passage
without moments unnecessary
delay. 1t is the best reparation that can
be made these faithful men for the neglect
of the past. Representative John L. vii
son has been indefatigable in his efforts to
otonly increase the pay. of these savers of
human life, but to provide adequate pro
lection for shipping along the coast of
Washington. This shipping Is increasing
every year, and with the increase comes
greater chances for loss oflife unless we have
more light houses and more life saving
crews on the coast. The brave men com
posing these crews take their lives in their
hands and the records show long and
CHASTITY list Of fatalities among them while
at this work, and still larger one Of those
who have, through the same cause, suf-
fered permanent physical disability. For
this perilous work this great government
has been paying the surfmen about dol
lar and halfa day for about eight months
in year. "A man who can afford it who
would pay another less than two dollars
a day for a good honest days work ought
to be ashamed of himself ANYHOW.
