TOPICS OF THE TIMES

The Leader states that "Des Moines
would be obliged to Madame Nordica
| IL she would drop note to KubelilS
saying she got out of town without be-
| ing snallpoXed."
An institution called the General Ed
ucation Board has been organized in
motion of education in the south ire
spective of sex, creed or color More
than million dollars has, it is an
nounced, been placed at the boards
idisposai 1t is said further that the
natural hesitation of northern capital
10 invest in southern educational inst-
buttons without a comprehensive view
of the southern field was potent in the
formation of the board.
The reports of many successful gratis
and money getting schemes now being
worked in all parts of the country are
evidences of prosperous times. The
CRATER had a hard time during the
years of 11-cent corn and general In
dustrial depression. But he fattens
on good times in common with legiti-
mate business.
English insurance firms are insuring
their patrons against smallpox at the
rate of half a crown per 100 for vac
cinated persons and 30 pence for un-
To chit
81 shillings per 6 100 for certain dis
tricts in the east end of London. The
epidemic instead of dying out seems to
be raging with increased virulence.
Mark Twain tells the following:
"On the veranda of a country hotel the
guests were sitting around talking, and
the conversation gradually drifted into
comparison of birthplaces.
"Said one, L was born in Oconomo-
woe None smiled
Said another, I hail from Red Dog,
Tex None smiled.
Said third, rather CURLY, Mauch
Chunk Still the company smiled not
at all.
But one little man who had hereto
fore been extremely pleasant remained
silent. Somebody turned to him, gayly.
What's your town, Mr. Smith?'
'"The little man scowled painfully.
TIM from Kalamazoo he said. And he
added belligerently, And L can lick the
first man that laughs!''

A Russian medical scientist claims to

given an unqualified cure was effected.

A PENSION ExPERIM EMIT.

A great New York traction company
has established a pension system
which, it is estimated by its president.
will have an effect directly on 100000
persons within the boundaries of New
! York CITY alone. 1t is estimated that
the heads of $1,000 families will feel the
steadying influence of pension paya-
Bile during life after falling powers ana
old age have rendered them unfit for
labor.
/ For a long time street car employees
were counted in the class of miscella-
neous and migratory laborers. There
was little dependence to be placed in
them and they as well had nothing to
expect. The rapid extension of traction
lines after the introduction of electrici-
| ty as a motor power called for skilled
| men and induced some organization of
| a mutual nature. The pension system
inaugurated by the Metropolitan Street
Railway Company is expected to give
I
| for a lifetime to the service.
This traction company pays the pen
sion without contributory aid from the
employes benefited. 1t is notable that
the company in announcing the pension
system is careful to explain that this
pension is in no wise charitable gift.
Nothing of the kind. ut is merely the
final incentive to proficiency and per-
manent engagement, which is equally
company. One of the tragedies of life
for the people who work for small
wages. with little chance to save, is the
prospect of old age and inability to
earn the daily bread. This prospect
tends to discourage long terms of serv-
ice for of what use is 1t to resist inn |
pulse to change when steadiness long
continued means merely being turned
adrift in old age?" The company be- I
pension system will amply pay its cost |
by prevention of strikes and the CO. /
operative interest of employees who find /
themselves working under conditions
which develop self-respect.
In Germany old age pensions for la
borers are provided by system which
collects the necessary money from the
government, the employer and the !
worker. In England efforts are being
made in the same direction. The ques
ton of the employers responsibility
and the rights of the employed are at
tracing economists more and more to
the pension idea in one form or another.
AS industry becomes more COM
pletely organized individual workers in
the lower grades of labor become more
dependent on the industrial machine
which they serve and less able to adapt /
themselves to new employment when.
that in which they are trained Hence
1t is hardly fair to say that employers
owe them nothing but the daily wage
and dismissal at any convenient time
from places which in the employers in
terest, as well as their own, they have
learned to fill expertly to the point of
knowing nothing else. A system which +
makes expertness and continued faith
fulness worth while. and assures it of
due reward. responds to a moral obliga-
ton, and at the same time serves
highly profitable practical purpose. No
doubt the Metropolitan company will
find itself we'll repaid for its pension
outlay, and possibly in time our other
great corporations will follow it.

IOWA OPINIONS AND NOTES.

The Grinnell Gazette makes the very
wise observation that "the city author
tiles should provide against the spread
Of smallpox thru it's officers" and
winds up by saying: "This matter
should have the immediate attention Of
our local board of health"
The Shenandoah Sentinel likes "the
plan used in Illinois for the election Of
members of the legislature which gives
the minority party some representa-
ton"
The Centerville Citizen has a good
word for LATE Young. 1t says: "Lafe
Young comes out of the Polk county
congressional fight without a hair
singed, cen tho every effort was made
to roast him alive. We may not agree
with LATE on all propositions, but have
the first time yet to suspect him of
dishonesty or crookedness."
Speaking of the Loud bill practically
debated yesterday by congress the
Omaha Bee says: mo argument has
been advanced for sub-letting the de-
livery of the mails on rural routes that
would not apply with equal force to
sub-letting the mail carrying in free
delivery cities, but no one would pro-
pose to abolish the city letter carrier
service and turn it over to contractors"
The Creston Advertiser sees mo bet
ter evidence that Union county farmers
have and are still making money out of
their agriculture and stock pursuits
than the frequency of retirements from
active life. In many instances these
men have retained their farms which
is only additional evidence of their
thrift. They have made more money

ADVANCE OF ENGLISH LAM
GUAGE.

ADVANCE OF ENGLISH Lam
GUAGE.
Modern Mexico.l
The progress that the English Ian
guage has made in Mexico in the last
few years is really remarkable. 1t has
not been long since French was easily
the second language of the country,
but today it is effectually replaced by
English. The Mexican people are
much more apt at acquiring languages
than the average Anglo-Saxon and the
ease and correctness with which many
Mexicans who have never been out of
the country and who have had little
opportunity for practice speak English
is a frequent subject of comment
Where a half dozen years ago only the
larger establishments or those catering
particularly to foreign trade employed
English speaking clerks, today it is
possible for an American to make his
wants known in his own language in
every store of any Importance. Tho
demand for English newspapers, mag
azines and books among the better
classes turnout the country has in
creased to a notable extent. So much
of the important business transactions
in Mexico today have an international
character and so many English speak
ing foreigners are interested in bust
ness concerns of the country that pro-
fessional men find the language al
most a necessity in order to secure
their share of a very profitable part
of the business. A notable recogni-
ton of the Importance of the language
has just been made in the City of Mex
leo, where the great preparatory school
has replaced the study of Latin by
English. 1t is to be taught in thor
ough four years course and will be
obligatory.

1t is understood that a complication in the
proceedings now pending for the appoint

a meeting of the board was called and
Mr.. Ford was chosen in his place.
The method of solution is said to be ex-
posed to the charge of ilegality.
