may cultivate fraternal feeling with
his fellows, that he may cause demand
for articles that contribute to his COM
fort and sustenance. In a word, to make
the workers-the producers of the wealth
of the wOrld-great consumers.
To permanently improve the condition
of the people, to improve their habits
and customs must be our aim. There are
two classes who indulge in debauchery
and rum-those who do not know what
to do with their time because they have
too much money, and those who have too
much time because they have no work
TO do and cannot obtain any.
The man who works twelve hours q
day finds life comfortless. He sleeps to
work, lives to work and knows nothing
else but work. He who works too many
hours a day has no regard for his per-
sonal appearance He meets and asso-
ciates with nobody when he goes to work
who is better conditioned than he is. He
cares for nothing but work. On the 9TH
er hand, the man who works a reasona.
bic number of hours is the very oppo.
site in his personal habits. He has some
spare time, and what does he do with itY
lie goes into his parlor. If that parlor
has no carpet, he feels that it should
nave one. As his children grow up about
him they must learn a little music. He
must have pictures and other things that
contribute to his comfort. By degrees
his habits and customs improve and,
therefore, to that extent, he is better
citizen and he helps all the more to
strengthen the republic. This is a high
aim 1t is the true aim of labor in Amer
lea and every country of the world.
For too many years, for too many cen.
turles, have the working people been
looked upon as wealth-producing ma
chimes, to be used to the utmost extent;
to be pushed, to be lashed, to be cast
down, to be girdled by cast-iron tyranny
SO long as they produce wealth for the
few. Too much thought has been devot-
ed to what men and women can produce.
and too little to giving them an oppor-
tunity to live.
We want to give the people time-time,
the great factor of the world; time. which
produces all wealth; time, which begins
our era and ends our last breath; time,
the converter Of all opposition to reason;
time, which obliterates dishonesty. gives
justice and allows fair dealing and COM
mon honesty to prevail.

If you should ask q Chicago man OF

would pilot you to little restaurant

She had a duty to perform. 1t was a
hard duty. 1t was taking her young
life away. 1t was making little wrin.
kles and marks Of care, but Julia Prin-
diville tried not to think Of these
things. and kept on doing the best she
could. There was family to support
on her $3.50 week. and it doesn't
seem that in all the haunts Of sorrow
there could be another such pilitiful
family. The mother was feeble of
body and mind, human cipher. The
fathers mind was also gone, and there
was a dwarf child, 10 years old, who
stopped growing at the age Of 3, and
who was deaf and dumb, and was kept
strapped in chair. What do you think
OF that burden? Doesn't any trouble
that ever came to you seem insignifi-
cant in the sight of that roomful of
misery! In the morning Julia cooked
breakfast, cared for the old folks,
washed and dressed the dwarf and
strapped her in n chair. Then she
hurried away to her work and $3.50 a
week. She didn't complain. She had
no contidants. The other girls called
her stingy because she never spent a
penny or went to place of amuse-
ment. Il can't do it," was her ONLY
replyto invitations. She might have
married, but she drove young men
away. She gave up everything that
made joy for other girls and carried
her cross like a true martyr for six
years. 1t might have gone ON till she
died from pain. work and worry, had
not an officer discovered what the girl
had labored TO conceal. The dwarf
was taken TO an asylum and the two
old people will be cared for at public
expense. And the girl, who deserves a
monument and Victoria Cross and
all the mementoes Of Victory that were
ever designed, wept when her fam
ly" was taken away, saying she want
ed the dwarf in the house on Christ
mas. Then she went back to the res.

Julia Prindiville, and remember that
she never lost hope or courage for

experimental stage. Fads vary in de-
gree, in the elements of time. and local
ity. They are different things in differ
ent times at different places. They have
their exits and their entrances. Time
alone proves their value or their worth
lesSness, and that which is righteously
dubbed fad will fade as fashion of
the hour. Fads are of two kinds. ephem-
eral and eternal, and mortal man, be he
editor or educator, cannot always cassi-
fy. n fancy to-day may be a fad to-
morrow, foible the next day, and, in
the hands of some unbalanced enthusiast,
a fool thing thereafter.
we do not now consider geography a
rad, but the courtiers of Isabella of Spain
SAID that subject was a fad with one
Christopher Columbus. A half century
ago the Spencerian system of penmanship
was nailed as fad; it was opposed be-
cause 1t was said to destroy individuality
and character in penmanship. To-day
the vertical system is termed fad and
opposed for precisely the same reasons
but the one had and the other has a mis-
sion to perform; each was distinct step
in advance; each received or will receive
modihcation, but each systematized the
work and called attention anew to
most important subject. Music is some
times and in some places termed fad.
But the fifteen minutes daily of instruc-
tion in vocal music in the school room
has distinct temporary and permanent
value; We may say it has temporal and
spiritual value. Condemn sooner the two
or three hours daily Instrumental prac-
tice in the home.
In many central States the consolida-
tion of small rural schools and the trans
portation of pupils by public conveyance
may be considered and is sometimes
termed fad, but it is a fad that will
grow in favor as its advantages are bet
ter understood by the public. Whatever
tends 10 improve the rural schools aud 10
keep the boys on the farm should receive
universal appreciation, be 1t fad, fact or
fancy. In Nebraska at presept the ele-

The new Australian tariff, which
went into operation at 4 O'Clock, Vic

rates in all the constituent states of the
new federation, and free trade among
the states themselves. Formerly each
colony had tariff of it's own, against
the other colonies as well as against
foreign countries, just as our States did
under the Confederation, before the
adoption of the Constitution. The en-
largement of areas under a uniform
tariff has been notable movement of

universities and colleges down through
the high schools into the grammar grades
is, fear, dangerous fad.
We lack the time and the public lacks
the patience to wait for results in I'M
certain experimentation in the grammar
grades. Less than one hour in eight is
passed by the child in the school room
when he attends regularly throughout
the school year. The average attendance
would not equal one hour in twelve. Per-
haps there are fads in the home, on the
street, in society, that influence the child
for good or for i'll. Society may train
our youth for social functions, pink teas,
and midnight revels, while the school is
endeavoring to train for better citizen
ship. Our schools for delinquents and
detectives are now striving to give each
individual therein that equipment which
will enable him TO live an independent
life in the world, and the public schools
should do no less; they should do more /;
that which they do in the direction Of
developing and strengthening an earnest
desire for better living, for honest labor,
for higher citizenship, for independence,
for self-reliance, is not faddism.

State Treasurer Grimes of Kansas
has made study of Washington life,
especially as to official circles and he
finds some undemocratic ways that the
democratic people of this country will
not take 10 kindly. Mr. Grimes SAYS
n United States Senator does not dare
TO Introduce his private secretary to
another Senator. That would be to pre-.
sumo too much on Senatorial dignity.
No matter how bright and cultured the
secretary may be, no matter IL he is the
Senator's superior mentally, he must
be made to understand that he Is an In.
ferior. Mr.. Grimes discovered this fact
when Senator Burton offered him Il
place as his private secretary. Such
state Of affairs might he expected In
European official circles where caste
holds sway, but 1t is out OF place In a
republic. The people of the West, espe-
cially, will resent such Il state of affairs
In their capitol. Senators, In their view,
are the paid servants of the people, not
arlstocrats. Senators, II is said, defend
this drawing OF social lines by saying
that a Senator cannot deal with an
others private secretary, but would
want to deal with the Senator himself.
Very well But that is no reason why
the secretary should be held to hold a
lower rank. He is an American citizen
and presumably n gentleman. If he
meets a Senator he is certainly entitled

a practical advocate in the manager of
the Chicago telephone company. All
applicants for position in the central
office must henceforth pass a voice test,
and such girls as are accepted will un-

them for the work. On the recognized
principle that answers are frequently
returned in-the pitch of the questioner,
low, well-modulated central" voices
may prove catching in all the homes

wayward, and help for the weak and de-
pendent, seem to be the generally accept
ed idea of the teachings of Christ As
to the practice of these teachings, for
which it may be supposed that church
organization was instituted, few in
quiries may not be amiss.
Is there either love or charity in an or
ganization which endeavors to have its
members consider the organization as the
principal feature, and is not this the uni
versal practice of all denominations Of
the Christian religion? Are not the ques-
tions raised in the business and ota~r
meetings questions in which the denomi-
nation is the central figure?
Is there light in the life or teachings
Of Christ which lead to this condition &?

How much time and direction was Civ

the sick, feeding the hungry, clothing the

Is it religion or is it selfishness which
prompts the congregation to spend thou-
sands of dollars for building and fur
hlshing costly edihces and let the widow

Is 1t tribute to Christ that one de-
nomination has the highest salaried min
lister in the world, and yet it is in that
faet, and not in the amount of Christian
Fellowship exhibited, in which that con-
gregation prides itself, and for which

Prof. Albion w. Small, of the Uni
Verslty of Chicago, in talking to uni
yersity students thus pays his respects
TO the idle rich: "a burglar is a gent,e-
man beside the man who lives off of
pure simple interest when he could
just as well work" Prof. Small ouali-
fies this strong assertion with an ex-
PLANTATION that he means by pure" in
terest inherited wealth, as, for in
stance, that which is placed in bank
While the owner does nothing to better
his own condition Or that OF his neigh
Dor This Is in contradistinction to the
ordinary" interest which is placed to
good use by the accumulators. The
PROFESSOR goes on to show that the lat
ter is substitution for insurance in
old age. 1t Is severe to say that the
social parasite who spends upon him
self and his pleasures the interest Of
Inherited wealth is in lower scale
than burglar who preys upon society
with dark lantern and Jimmy. Doubt
less the Professor does not mean to be
taken literally, but there Is a modicum
of justice in what he says. OF course,
the idle rich are not offending against
the laws of their country and are not
amenable to any form of punishment.
Nevertheless, it is true enough that
they are a predatory class. living upon
the fruits of the toll Of others. Justice
to the rich compels the assertion, how
ever, that the absolutely idle among
them constitute small minority. We
have innumerable examples of Inherit
ed riches, as well as those acquired,
being used in various forms of altru-
istc effort. Nor is it right to overlook
the truism that even the prodigal and
self-indulgent rich are of some benefit
to society by keeping money in circu-
lation and indirectly supporting many
toilers and wage-earners. With due re-
spect for Prof. Smalls opinion, the av-
erage critic will hold a less extreme
view of the case. Society Is less harm
ed by the idle parasite than is that
worthless individual himself by the
misuse of inherited wealth.
