The Best Investment. y

(By REV. SAMUEL PLANrz. Pm. D.. President Elect
Of Lawrence University
TT was Benjamin Franklin, believe,
4 who said "The best investment
anyone can make is to empty his
pocket into his head.i This is true,
even when considered from the mere
standpoint of worldly success. Col
lege boys and girls come to the front.
It has been shown tho, the men in our
country who have had more than a
common school education are not more
than one in hundred; but this small
fraction holds more than two-thirds Of
all the places Of trust and influence in
the nation 1t is not too much to say
that a college education multiplies
ones opportunities for success at least
a hundredfold. With disciplined fac
uities and an enlarged understanding,

usually uStn dt-
tributed to the excitement of a strike
on colossal scale. Now, however,
these utterances are characteristic of
every man who leads wage earners in
whatever capacity. Samuel Gompers
long deemed the most conservative Of
the rulers of labor organizations, has
joined the chorus.
He declared, at the headquarters Of
the federation, that the prospects be-
fore the country during these closing
years of the century indicate a great
social upheaval, which may be violent
or which may be peaceful, but which
at any rate will have a beginning. In
his opinion, there has developed a
strong class feeling as result of the
tendencies of the industrial situation.
He is strongly in favor of government
ownership of railroads, and declared
that the workingmen of the country
are eager for such a contamination,
too. Moreover, he said that the owner
ship of the municipal railways and tel
ephones was matter which would be
agitated by the organized workers of
the country inside of year or two
Now, all these ideas are arousing
serious alarm on the part of capital
lists. Very few know that most of the
corporations retain publicists to re-
flute these arguments, if arguments
they be, since the effect abroad is TO
depress the stocks of those great com
panies which would be most affected
by any change of the kind. Indeed,

abroad. the socialistic trend of cur

autumn and winter gayeties begin.
Mrs. Paran Stevens, who has barely
reached the metropolis after a trip
abroad has, indeed, lately remarked
that social affairs are like campaigns,
inasmuch as they have to be planned
far ahead. The coming Astor ball, al
though far in the future, has been, SO
to speak, scheduled this long while, in
so far as the guests, the interior dec
orations and the what not are con-
cerned.
At the same time has proceeded a
movement among the workingmen
which received its inception some time
before the memorable strikes began.
Ward McAllister is responsible for the
great interest taken by society" in the
industrial situation, and he recently
pointed out that the two diverse ele-
ments seem to be active together. At
any rate, the labor situation is intelli-
gently discussed at the affairs of the
socially powerful, fact which is
known to few, apparently, but which
indicates that the upper ten in New
York and elsewhere are more alive To
the signs of the times than some would
have it supposed.
1t is these facts which give a color of
truth to the assertions that Ward Nc
Allister is preparing to take an active
part in politics. Whether he win run
for Office is not known yet, but Mr.. Nc
Allister is not unfavorably regarded
by the working classes since he has
said some things favorable to them of
late. McAllister is writing treatise on
American politics now which is to be
brought out soon after his trip to Eu.

less than hot dispute among the
members Of one of the companies as to
the justice of ordering out the militia
on all occasions in which troubles arise
among producers. The difference orig
mated in the declaration of we'll
known capitalist in New York, di-
rected against his men, that If their
demands were not more temporarily
made, and if certain threats did not
cease, he would have the militia called
out
Now, it is this threat which has made
the militia complain. They declare
that it is pleasure to them to help put
down disorder when occasion arises, al
though che occasion they deplore, but
it is not fair to the militia to have them
mentioned in the incipient stages Of a
labor dispute. Threats to call out the
militia are superhuous, they declare,
and only serve to make them a factor
in the dispute, and thus TO embitter the
toilers against them needlessly. 1t is
time enough to mention the militia
when they are actually in the field, and
no man has right to use their infiu-
ence as threat.
Such was the discussion which
brought ON an unpleaAntness. One
militiaman had his sympathies so
aroused that he had a wordy alterca-
tion with his superior officer in his ar
moTv, and the consequence was severe
reprimand from his sIPeriors. The
other members took up the dispute, and
matters seemed on the ..erge Of open
rupture. Will difficulty the quarrels
were smoothed over, and nothing
leaked out, but the incident is said to
be typical Of the feelings Of many sol
diers in the militia. Their sympathies
are often on the side Of the men whose
side Is the weakest

ment which is almost a certainty Of
success.
But education is valuable not only
as means of livelihood, but as a
means of life. 1t assists not only
in attaining. but also in becoming.
1t secures enlarged capacity, broad
ened experience, fuller power. and all
that makes selfhood great 1t helps
draw out what is latent and germinal
in the man 1t equips him with
knowledge, and teaches him to do that
great act of his life. to think. BY di-
minishing his ignorance, it introduces
him to a larger liberty. BY training
his faculties. it rectifes his Judgment
sharpens his powers of observation.
and widens the range Of his intellect
ual vision. 1t gives him higherideals
and nobler purposes in life. 1t assists
him in self-mastery, or, as Mr.. Huxley
remarks, enables him Ito do what he
doesn't want to do at time when he
doesn't want to do it." 1t also helps
him to find increased enjoyment in the
greater depths and richer harmonies
of his own soul. Our real happiness
depends less upon what we have than
upon what we are. The larger our
grasp of truth. the greater our capac-
ity for meditation; the fuller our
knowledge, the less we are dependent
for our enjoyment on the things out
side of ourselves. Our resources
become our pleasures. With the
educated man usefulness is also aug
mented. We touch other lives at
greater depths and with greater in
spiration. Every man is center of
influence, and the force of it depends
upon what he is. What we exchange
when we meet, says Drummond, is not
words, but souls. In order to have
something TO give, something uplift-
ing, ennobling, we must have wrought
out by careful discipline our own high
est perfection.
Does anyone ask how going to coll
lege will bring about these desirable
results? If so, he need but note the
following among other facts: l. The
atmosphere of the place is favorable to
it. To breathe the air of culture is
going long way toward becoming
cultivated. 2. To meet men of larger
knowledge and lofty character from
day to day through a series of years,
is rareprivilege and great stimulus.
3. In college, we ''are drilled into
methodical habits of self-action, whose
excellence multiplied generations of
men have proved, but which no indi-
vidual by himself could ever have dis
covered. 4. To come in contact
with the brightest and best youth Of
the young people Of high pur-
pose and Christian faiths both an
intellectual and moral tonic. 5. To
hold ourselves down to the discipline
of study is to strengthen, sharpen and
develop the faculties and add worth to
the character. 6 In the college is to
be found the equipment for producing
the results specified. Here are the Ii
braries, the museums, the apparatus,
the instruction; in short, all the facili-
ties one needs to assist him in the ac-
quiriug of culture and manhood.
It is wise, then, to 20 to college.

the exhibitions in the line of canine
combats which 50 long disgraced the
city.
But the society has started discus
sion which will open, apparently,

Der of its organ it argued that the souls
of animals have real existence and
that evidence, scriptural and other
wise, exists to show that the canine in
particular is immortal. The discussion
has bee conducted with a wealth OF
learning that shows hoy dear TO the
hearts Of the members of the society
the four-footed creatures are. But that
this solicitude is the result Of consider
alton for the souls of the animals is
something as vet not generally known.
The society is supported by men who,
IL they believe what is thus contended,
are worthy Of attention. William Wal
dorf Aston has long been on the so
cietys Directory, while his cousin, John
Jacob, as well as Cornelius Vanderbilt
and Elbridge I. Gerry, are among the
active members. If these gentlemen
believe, too, that the souls Of their dogs
and horses are real things instead of
the fictions Of poetic imagination,
theologians can hardly fail to take the
question up.
However, there is one good result OF
it all, and that is that cruelty to ami
mails has been much decreased IN New
York. There was a time when some
very shocking cruelty to animals were
