whose education is of necessity brief
and plain, and whose juvenile nose
is early set to the hard grindstone
Of life. The self-made man has the
advantage of the start. He is already
well away in front, trained and practiced.
and perhaps with the foundations of his
fortune laid, when the college man limps

guages, incumbered with load of knowl-
edge that he is bewildered what to do
with. academic bric-a- brac, but business
junk.
Another thing said to be in the self
made mans favor in the battle Of life is
that he starts poors that he is stimulated
in his struggles by the sharp spur Of me-
cessity. The self-made man. as we know
that typical American product, Is usually
the offspring Of poor parents, brought up,
almost from the time he began to speak,
with the instructive notion that he would
have to do something for himself, and
do 1t quickly, sent out into the world
with his business appetite on edge, with
an anxious eye and an inquiring mind to
seek and seize upon every opportunity to
advance his position. The consciousness
OF possessing wealth, the absence of i'm
mediate need Of work or worry, has nat
uralIy a tendency to sap energy, to de-
stroy ambition to accumulate. Never
theless. business training needs money
IN order to use and develop it. Brains
without capital count for little.
Again. the alleged business or CONNER
ciai course which is given in college is.
OF course, as different to the real article
as theory is to practice. The college
teaching may be helpful in many re-
spects. but the genuine business training

receive and utilize will depend upon his
powers of application or intuition or alb.

The fairest answer to the question of
seif-made versus college-bred is, it de-
ponds almost entirely on the man. A
college education will not hamper anv.

trary. 1t will greatly assist him il he has
the grit and talent to turn it to useful
account. How he can utilize It in busi-

but little. 1t is question of academism
versus matter of fact. Homer or Virgil
would make but poor factor in closing
a modern business deal. The youth of

man from college has the talent. coura re.

COST OF THE WAR.
Secretary Root Sends Information
Regarding Philippine Rebel
lion to Senate g

Washington, June 20. = Secretary
Root on Thursday made answer to
the senate resolution of April II call
ing for information as to the cost of
the war in the Philippines. The sec
rotary shows the total cost of the
war to date, including outstanding
obligations, to be $170,326, 1856. He
calls attention to the fact that large
quantities of valuable property, such
as ships, lighters, ETC., horses and
mules, wagons and harness, clothing
equipage and ordnance, medical, sig
nal and engineering supplies, the cost
of which is included in the statement,
still remain on hand in the Philip
pine islands for use. Parts of these
supplies are already being reshipped
to this country. He says also that
large part of the expense during
the past year should not properly
be treated as occasioned by military
operations in the Philippine islands,
for the reason that it consists of pay
and maintenance of. troops whom we
would have to pay and maintain,
whether they were in the Philippines
or not, in order to keep up the mini
mum number of regular troops re-
quired by law as a-safeguard against
future contingencies.

IMPORTANT DECISION.
Wisconsin Supreme Court Makes RuI-
ing of Vital Consequence to
Labor and Capital.

Madison, Wis, June 90. : The SUI
preme court declares that the state
law which prohibits any employer
from discharging an employe because
he belongs to a labor organization is
contrary to the employers constitu-
tional rights, and therefore void.
The court recognizes the right of
men to combine in labor organiza-
tions. If an employers liberty were
curtailed by legislation, however, that
of an employe could be likewise cur
tailed. Thus an employee might be
punished for quitting work because
his employer had formed blacklist
organizat ton for any other objection
able combination. The decision of
the supreme court is a most impor-
tant one. 1t is vital to labor and cap
ital alike, and will undoubtedly at
tract widespread attention.
