For years and years almost innumer-
able writers. some of them learned in
maritime matters. and others only in
terested in, such things. have been
preaching the necessity for intelligent
and united action. either by govern
ments or shipowners. to the end that
abandoned vessels may not be allowed
to remain afioat In the ocean highways.
Increasing materially the perils OF nav
igation and giving needless proof that
what is everybody's business is no.
body's. Lamentably little has been ac-
complished by all this exhortation and
its continuance seems discoura gingly
like a waste OF energy. The issue Is
a thoroughly live one. however. and
perhaps by constantly harping on 1,
the vast number of people whose lives
are often and whose property is con.
stantly menaced by these derelicis may
at last be moved to enforce the rene.
dying OF the present neglect OF a great
evil.

The general introduction of women
into employment before held by men
has had the most far-reaching social
effects. 1t is not necessary. and would
not be appropriate here to enter into
consideration of the question whether
the result of such general employment
OF women has been beneficial or the
reverse in its effects on society. What
ever conclusions may be reached on
that very comprehensive subject ii is
quite plain that the employment of
women in the business pursuits is des-
tined TO be less. rather than more, gen.
eral in the future than II has been in
the immediate past.

From the Kansas City Star: Re-
forms are wrought in many and Gu
fious ways. but seldom in stranger
manner than that in which a certain
drunkard was sobered. This man had
wandered at midnight into a low sa-
loon. He gave his order. and then
leaned against the bar for support. A
man standing near by took from one
pocket an addressed envelope and from
another a stamp. which he moistened
with his tongue. Instead OF adhering
to the envelope. as the man intended.
the stamp slipped from his fingers
and huttered to the floor. The tippler
saw 1t fall and staggered forward to
pick II up. Just as he was about To
grasp It the stamp darted In a zIgxag
course toward the side wall, like n
scared thing. Filled with astonIsh-
ment. the drlnker drew back and In.
tcntly watched the bit OF paper, which.
upon reaching the wall. began TO as-
cend. As II ascended. the tippler's
face grew more intent. his body more
rigid. He saw nothing but the myste-
rious. moving thing. His mind was
soggy from years OF ceaseless drink
ing. He thought that the animated
stamp was a warning. At the top OF
thc wainscoting the stamp stopped,
squatted as II for moments rest be-
fore ascending higher. ana then made
n dart toward the tippicr's haggard
face. The trembling sot saw It stop,

''The meeting was not very well at

there. During that time the meeting
was devoted to n general discussion
of its purposes. Governors Sayers and
Stevens of Missouri rend papers, which
gave some offense to Republican mem
bers of the conference. who construed
the meeting to be Il Democratic conven-
ton, rather than n pon-partisan move

good naturedly. Explanations We're

the differences. but without avail.
About the only tangible thing that
was done while was there was the
appointment of committee on resolu-
tions. The small attendance was
against accomplishing anything that
might be considered general If we
cannot get the individual cooperation
