WHY IT PAYS
 TO BE HONEST
BY cHAuNcEY M. pEPEw.

Honesty Is too much talked about as if 1t were scarce in these days. The business principles of today are better, purer and more universally honest than they were in the days of my boy-hood. Then the motto of life ran something like this: "All is fair in love, war and trader' But this genera ton has tabooed that maxim, and business methods were never better or more reput- able than they are at this minute.
 Many immense fortunes have been made by men of this generation, who employed strictly honest means to attain their ulti- mate success and great wealth. Take Bes- semer for example No. l. He invented the steel which is used so extensively all over the world for car rails and reVolutfon1zed the manufacture of steel giving employ ment to thousands of persons and bringing wealth to many besides himself. He only made ten millions out of the invention, and have heard people say that they thought 1t was entirely too small a sum for the in- ventor of so wonderful an improvement. think myself that it was quite a respect able sum.
 John Wanamaker is a good man to take for example No. 2. He stated in small way with small store, and he Is today one of the wealthiest men in the country, and he has been always an upright, honest man. In what lay the secret of his success? Simply in this: He knew what the people wanted, he knew where to buy it, and he knew how to advertise. Many a man, as we all know, has made fortune through ju- dicious advertising Take two men starting in business at the same time. One uses all the money he makes in living well and sometimes even extravagantly.
 The other invests all the surplus cash that he can lay his hands on in advertising here there, everywhere that he thinks will attract public notice. What is the result? The man who adyortises has crowds flock ing to his shop to see the beauties of the advertised goods, and as the public begin to run they will continue from sheer force of habit. The first shopkeeper will in the mean time be sitting unthoueht of and uncared for, 2Shast at the crowds which Gaily throng the counters of his competitor and bitterly bewaling the bad luck which

EXPERIMENTING
 RATS IN DENMARK

"Ratsl
 They fought the dogs, and killed the
 cats,
 And bit the babies in the cradles, And ate the cheese out of the vats,
 And licked the soup from the cook s
 own ladies,
 Split open the kegs of salted sprats, Made nests inside mems Sunday hats, And even spoiled the women's chats,
 By drowning their speaking
 With shrieking and squeaking, In fifty different sharps and flats"
 Such was the condition of things at Hamelin Town in Brunswick five hundred years ago, but this plague, great as it was, was nothing as compared to that from which the citizens of Copenhagen have just been rescued. For years they have been suffering from a pest of rodents, a pest so great that they would not have hesitated to pay any sum of money If some "Pied Piper had appeared upon the scene to rid them of their rats, but in the ab- sence of such benefactor they were com pelled to resort to more commonplace means of redress.
 As the rats could not be lured from the city the city declared war upon the rodents with such success that in little more than a year nearly every rat in the town has been exterminated. To do this was no simple task.
 To accomplish 1t the city has spent over $60 600 in bounties but now that the work is done no one %egrets the labor of the expenditure of money, and fete of re- jocing and thanksgiving at the relief af- forded Is to be held early in the spring.
 To fully appreciate what a plague of rats is like it is necessary for one to go to Europe, especially to the northern part of Europe, where he will find the Norway rat at home and in his glory.
 It is true that this objectionable rodent has penetrated to this country. He has taken his passage in ships and finding the American docks and sewers pleasant, has decided to remain. Here he may be seen almost any day, along the water front of almost any city by the sea, but while he Is here in thousands it is only by tens of thousands that his family can be enumer- ated in Norway, Denmark, Sweden and the other northern countries.
 In Copenhagen, for instance, nearly million rats have been killed within year. They know that there have been that many because the city officials have that number of rat tails on file, but there is no way for them to tell how many of the rodents were put out of the way by pri- vate individuals who made no claim upon the city for the promised reward. From the almost total absence of rats from the city, it is estimated that the number Of those that were exterminated in that way must have been fully great.
 There have always been rats in Copen- hagen, but during the past few years the number has been steadily increasing, with the result that a year or two ago 1t was estimated that there were more rats in that city than in any place of its size on earth. It was at this time that the city officials began to think up some plan for relief.
 During the next few months many sug- gestions were made and finally it was de-

SUBJUGATTON OF
 THE POOR NATIVES
By Sir Andrew Clark.

In view of the present position of affairs in the Philippine Islands and the military successes of the United States forces, I venture to impress upon the authorities and people of your great republic to seek other than by mere force of arms the pacifica- tion of the Filipinos. The revolution in the Philippine Islands cannot be maintained unless by extraneous aid. The funds nec- essary for the maintenance are being pro cured by syndicates operating from cer- tain ports in the east. There should be no difficulty in ascertaining who are en- gagged in these operations.
 Only recently the appropriation of some Of these funds-no secret being made of their object-became the subject of an &C., ton in the law courts of France. An ap- pltcation by the representative of the United States to attach these funds as being used by unrecognized belligerents against the government of a friendly power, even If it was not successful, might have led to the adoption of measures which would have checked the advance of funds, from the same sources and led to an understanding for a settlement of the ex- penditure already incurred.

 Some persons might consider that old | Commodore Vanderbilt was dishonest be- cause he did not refund the money which the stockholders of the Hudson River and Harlem railroads would have made if they had continued to hold their stock after he took hold of the road But he was not. They cheated themselves out of the money by not being farsighted enough to hold on to their stock.
 When the Commodore had made twenty
 millions in shipping of various sorts he looked about for some thing good in which he might invest his capital He found these railroads, which were then In a most de- plorable out-of-date oondition-the stock only worth 8 on S100-and the bonds you could not sell for love or money. But he took hold, built new bridges, put all mod ern improvements into the car service, ad- vocated new signal systems, In short he infused new life into the entire service of | the road at an enormous outlay of capital and then he waited. And all the capital came back, bringing much additional wealth along with 1t.
 I have seen many men become wealthy through dishonest methods, and my experi- ence with them has taught me this: That | most men who gain wealth dishonestly, if
 they live long enough, get poor again. It is
 almost an invariable rule.
 The main temptation with which the or-
 dinary man of today is beset is the tempta-
 tion to misrepresent his capital or business
 prospects and thus obtain greater credit
 But don't do 1t. It does not pay. The old,
 old adage Honesty fig the best policy" is
 the safest motto for every business man
 to follow. And know what I am talking
 about, too.
 Be good and you'll be happy, but you
 won't have good time," may sound very
 smart and elicit rounds of applause, but
 1t is fallacy through and through It is
 easier, much easier, for an honest man to become wealthy than for his dishonest brother, who may seem to prosper for a
 time, but, mark my words, is is only a tenn porary success,

the United States, which country would become responsible for the security of the islands against aggression by any foreign power and for their internal tranquility.
 No doubt, to bring about these ends a large expenditure would have to be ac- cepted for a time as essential by the United States government, but 1t would amount to no more than if as much as, would follow the prolongation of the in- surrection. In the latter case the power of recuperation will have been much ex- hausted while in the former the eXpendi- ture will lend itself to the material res- toration of industrial and commercial en- terprises.
 I am convinced from my experience in the Malay peninsula that under just rule the trade of the Philippines will rapidly expand and the islands will become self supporting In such a case the imports ation of the whole of the machinery of govern ment according to modern methods is to be avoided. This is the mistake that the French and Germans made. The idea should be as far as possible to rule the people and conserve native ways, thus gradually preparing the Ffipinos for gov ernment of a higher type. I feel conf- dent that this task is one which the Ameri- can people are fully able and thoroughly competent to undertake.

THE COAL STRIKE ENDING
Belief That President Mitchell VIII

Conference at HnzIeton Continued

Those CoIIseries Which Have Not
Yet Granted the Miners Demands,

HlsZiETON, Pa, Oct. 25.-The executive
board of the United Mine Workers went in
to session again this morning. not having
arrived ~ any conclusion yesterday.
While it is almost certain that the re-
suit Of the conference will be resolution
declaring the strike off except at those col
lieries at which the wage increase notices
have not been posted. the formal announce
ment will not be given out by President
Mitchell until this evening.
At the collieries refusing TO grant these
advances the strike VIII be kept up until
they are forced TO yield TO the mine work
ers demands
The only collieries in this region which

Cross Creek Coal Company.
John Markle, of G. B. MarkIe & Co.,
has declared very positively that he will
not post the notices, as he is already, he
Claims, paying wages commensurate with
what the 10 per cent would amount to.
II, however, all the o. her collieries are
working. it is not at all likely that Mr..
MarkIe viii be able TO maintain this po-
sition for any length of time, as too
many OF his men would desert him TO
er collieries.
WILKEsBARRE, Pa, Oct. 25.-Genera1
Superintendent Lathrop, OF the Lehigh
Valley Goa Company, said this morning:
The prospect for a settlement OF the
strike is particularly bright l believe
that the United Mine Workers executive
beard will call the strike on at tha:r
meeting in Hazleton today.
President Mitchell is right in his as
sertion that - per cent o. the coal COM
panies and operators have agreed 10 the
increase asked for. The whim about the
April ] time limit is all bosh. The oper-
ators are willing TO agree 10 this and keep
II in effect if they can. OF course, If the
market and conditions are such that they
cannot h ep it in force TO that date, they
viii b forced to withdraw it.
pr esident Mitchell is wise enough TO
bring matters to an early close. The men
are willing TO return and holding out tong
er viii injure his organization. II the
strike is called off, the companies which
have not yet offered the increase will be
forced into doing so by the resumption OF
work and continued loss TO them. I be-
lieve their offer Will Immediately follow
the calling of Of the strike. But many Of
the mines would be unable to commenae
work al once If the order were Issued The
drought has left several cuIlieries without
a water supply and while the rain has help
ed somewhat the supply IS stiIl too low to
keep the collieries running"
