At a conference OF the charities and cor
rectional institutions of New York few
days ago 1t was stated that of s26.0oo,ooo
which II cost the State to support its pub
lie institutions ssocO,o 600 went for food. In
the discussion that followed the speaker
said:
1t is true that the State expects humane
treatment and will not be satisfied with
less than q liberal dietary for its depend
ents, but while this Is conceded we have no
situations are the taxpayers of the common
wealth, and that they are entitled to con-
sideration when such an enormous sum as
Sc, 0000 c0. is to be spent. For their sake
proper economy must go hand in hand with
humanity In the management of dietaries
In public institutions. hence this food prob
lem must be discussed from standpoint
which recognizes public rights as we'll as
the needs of the inmates.
Not only the food question. but all others
connected with public institutions should
be discussed from standpoint that recog-
nizes the interests of taxpayers as well as
those of public beneficiaries. The inmates
of all public institutions live better than do
a considerable number Of those who pay
taxes to support them. AS for the officers
of public institutions. there is probably not
one in the United States who does not live
better at public expense than he or she
ever did at private expense.

THE HIGHEST LAW.

The fact that a member of the Painters
and Decorators Union in Schenectady, n.
Y, has been expelled from the organiza-
ton and his employers compelled to dis
charge him because, as member of the
National Guard, he went with his COM
mand when 1t was ordered out TO protect
life and property at Glens Falls from muir
der and arson at the hands of rioters, is
attracting very wide attention and causing
sharp criticism by the press. Thus far no
newspaper has defended the action of the
Schenectady union. There was a street.
railway strike at Glens Falls. The union
called out its men. as 1t had right to do.
ard a mob undertook to prevent the run
ming OF the cars, which IL had no right to
do The local authorities being unable to
preserve order, appealed TO the Governor
who sent a detachment of the National
Guard to the scene of the disturbance to
suppress rioting which had eliminated In
deadly assault and the use OF dynamite
to destroy life and property. Potter. the
man discharged. who had served in the
Spanish war. had an idea that he was do
ing his duty by obeying the orders OF the
Governor of the State. Potter's view is

respecting citizens must take to wha< was

The Honolulu Bulletin, one of the Jour-
nails valued exchanges, discusses the adj
visibility of having a Hawaiian exhibit at
the st. Louis exposition. That it is desir-
able to have display there is admitted,
but the question of expense comes in, and
it is urged that a penny-wise, pound-foolish
policy shall not be adopted, but that an
appropriation large enough to provide for
a proper exhibit be made, or none at all.
1t will be waste of money, the Bulletin
holds. to spend a few thousand dollars for
a display that will not attract attention
and will not adequately represent the re-
sources of the islands This reasoning is
wise. and is applicable not only to Hawaii.
but to other places-Indiana. for instance.
The coming Legislature will probably be
called upon to decide upon an appropria-
ton for a State exhibit at st. Louis. 1t
is better that there should be no display
from Indiana at all than such a one as
was made at Chicago. There was credit

TO their labor who can become experts
Even teaching. which many unsophisticated
persons believe can be taken up at any
time. is becoming more and more speciai-
ixed. 1t Is profession IN process of evolu-
ton and development, and the woman who
laid down her work ten or fifteen years
ago and attempts to enter the field to-day
viii surely find herself far behind the pro-
cession.
1t is certainly not advisable that all girls,
whatever their situation in life, should
enter the wage-earning occupations and re-
main there Until they marry. Labor con-
ditions would mot permit or justify this.
1t is the belief of many persons, on the
contrary. that the industrial situation
would be bettered if fewer women than
now became wage-earners. However this
may be, the theory that all women should
go outside of their homes and fit fhem-
selves for earning money does not seem
feasible. Whether they can gain the neces-
sary proficiency in their homes and In the
line OF their ordinary household occupa-
tions is another matter and is by no means
certain, but in that direction certainly lies
the. greatest opportunity 1t is in what
was once regarded the most strictly
feminine work that the modern woman is
strikingly deficient. 1t is common asser-
ton among housewives that a competent
seamstressi is rare being. When one such is
found her services are in constant demand.
One cause of the existence of the servant
girl problem, especially as it relates to the
kitchen, is that not only women willing to
enter domestic service do not know how to
cook well. but those who employ them are
also ignorant of the art. Now that the
only solution of the problem seems TO be
that the mistress of the house shall know
how to cook. and now that the work is
coming to be regarded as an art worth
mastering, practically and scientifically. it
is likely that the rising generation of girls
will know more than their mothers in this
line. There is no better opening to-day
for women who want to earn money than
precisely in this direction-not necessarily
that of entering a strange kitchen as cook,
but of Keeping house. marketing and di-
recting a household scientifically and
economically. Hotels and public institu-
tions of all kinds have the greatest diff
Guilty in securing competent service of this
class. While women are not experts in
what is strictly their own field they should
not look for outside worlds to conquer.

The disposition of some newspapers to
treat serious matters in spirit of levity
bordering irreverence is not commend
able. ITO everything there is a season.
and a time to every purpose under the
heaven" says Solomon, but there is no
time appointed for making light of serious
things. The Chicago Tribune forgets this
when it speaks disrespectfully of the monu
ment erected to mark the center of popu-
lation in this State. In an editorial on the
subject, 1t says:
The traveller from a distant cline stand
ing in contemplation before. monument
concentrating an important parsonage or
an important occasion personifies rever-
entail memory in the presence of bygone
county, Indiana, are, apparently, much un-
der the influence Of this idea. They believe
in keeping history alive by means of appro-
pirate external evidences. 1t was with great
enthusiasm, therefore, that they unveiled
monument to the center of population
1t is not every county in the United States
that has provided us with center Of popu-
Iation. 1t is no wonder that Bartholomew
county is conscious of it's accomplishment.
Counties in Maine, Louisiana, California
and Minnesota have never been able to get
the center of population within their bor-
ders. Counties in the central States have
been more successful. Not even all the
y
ais. In 1910. when the thirteenth census Is
taken. perhaps Bartholomew county will
lose its distinction. The monument will
then have to be put on wheels and moved
to its new home. Meanwhile, however, all
persons of sentiment who want chance to
experience great emotions will do we'll to
remember where the center of population
is at present situated Why shed tears on
the tomb of Adam when the monument to
the center of population is near at hand?
Such remarks are not in keeping with the
spirit of comfy that should prevail be-
tween States, and the levity they show
does not befit the subject. The center of
population is serious affair. 1t only hap
pens once in ten years, and never twice in
the same place. Its Importance can be APP
preciated by trying to imagine popula-
ton without a center. If chance or the
census enumerators had located the center
of population in 1900 in Chicago it is not
likely that Chicago newspaper would
have made fun Of ii. 1t is none the less en-
| titled to respectful treatment because it is
| located in Bartholomew county, Indiana.
The center of population is great Ameri-
| can fact, and instead of being spoken of
| lightly it should be treated with distin-
guished consideration.
