The Message to Garcia.

"~IIE RECENT lecture of FL
bert Hubbard recalls his
Il famous pamphlet. "A Mes
sage to Garcia" which Is an
address by Mr. Hubbard to the young
men of the country and has been very
Widely read. Mr.. Hubbard uses the in
c.',nt of Lieutenant Rowan's mission
to General Garcia as his text. Presi-
dent Mckinley found it necessary dur
ing the early Spanish complications

and Rowan was suggested as the man
who could carry the message" HOW

mUuntable difficulties. won the admira-
tion and gratitude of all Americans.
In his pamphlet. Mr.. Hubbard de-
plores the lack of young men III busi-

effort. or course, this is true. to som"
extent. but to person acquainted
with the American boy and his a"hiev-
ments. it seems like an injustice.
While this kind of talk is calculated
to keep down the Swelled head. a lit.
tie of the opposite kind will do no
harm. All employers are not like the
Carnegie steel company in encourig-
ing young men. but the average em-
ployer will find f he is careful in the

some bright young American who will
fill the bill.
There is no young man on earth so
ambitious as the young American. He
is a hustler, with staying qualities;
lie works overtime and often half
starves To fit himself for his chosen
sphere in life. and to accomplish his
plans.
The fact that Mr.. Hubbard has
found over two hundred and fifty un-
skilled young people in East Aurora.
and has been able to train them To do
the fine work required in the koycroIt
shop. proves the contrary of his theory.
Our colleges are filled with young men

A Judge with Common Sense.

r y THE Columbia Law Review for

Il states courts, has an interesting
paper analyzing and criticising
our jury system--not so much with
regard to fundamentals as in refer
cnce to details. For example
The work of selecting juries is too
tedious, he thinks. The minute and
prolix examination INDUCED in by
counsel always personal and often i'm

suits. In England the ableSt counsel

Then. too. the trend of the times has
been toward inordinate appeals. On
this subject the judge remarks:

These exceptions and suggestions all
impress us as being well taken. If there

justice with economy and to substi-

readily be found. The reason why re-
