may cultivate a 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 n
day finds life comfortless. He sleeps to
work, lives to work and knows nothing
else but work. He who works too many
hours 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 reasona.
bic number of hours is the very oppo
site in his personal habits. He has some
spare time, and what does he do VITA it?
He goes into his parlor. If that parlor

have 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 Il 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
turies, 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 east
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.

President American Federation of Labor.

One of the most curious Industrial
plants in the West is the old Holland
type of grist mill at Benson, near
Bloomington, Ill. 1t was erected up
ward of thirty years ago. and is still
doing business. 1t is operated by wind
power, re-enforced by small engine,
which can be called into use whenever
natures agent fails in its adequacy.
The tall circular building is surmount-
ed by four huge wings, each OF, which
is forty feet in length, or eighty in the
length of each pair. The mill Is sixty
feet high and is quite attractive for art
lists who desire a picturesque bit of
rural scenery.

In est difference of opinion 1t is
lS0 school room innovation in the
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 a fad will fade as a fashion Of
the hour. Fads are of two kinds ephem-
eral and eternal, and mortal man, be he
editor or educator, cannot always class-
fly. A 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 n
fad, 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 penmanshp
was hailed as fad; it was opposed be-
cause it 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 aud the other has a mis-
sion to perform; each was a distinct step
In advance; each received or will receive
modification, but each systematized the
work and called attention anew to a
most important subject. Music is some
times and in some places termed n fad.
But the fifteen minutes daily of instruc-
tion in vocal music in the school room
has a 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-
ton of small rural schools and the trans
portation of pupils by public conveyance
may be considered and is sometimes
termed fad, but it is fad that will
grow in favor as its advantages are bet
ter understood by the public. Whatever
tends to improve the rural schools and to
keep the boys on the farm should receive
universal appreciation, be it fad fact or
fancy. In Nebraska at present the ele-
ments of agriculture including fair
knowledge of the habits and structure of
the common plants, birds, insects and
auadrupeds, is n fad, perhaps, but that
great agricultural State will instruct its
youth thoroughly in the causes and depen-
denotes of its commonwealth.
Drawing and elementary science are
not fads, and they have distinct econ
omic value in industrial centers. Manual
training in its various phases, domestic
science, etc, may or may not be fads

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
ganizaton which endeayors to have Its
members consider the organization as the
principal feature, and Is not this the uni
yersal practice of all denominations of
the Christian religion? Are not the ques-
tons raised in the business and other
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?
Did he say You Presbyterians must ad-
vance Presbyterianism,' or You Bap-
lists must add to your roll of member
ship?" or You Episcopalians must add
to your wealthY' or ''You Catholics shall
hold yourselves aloof from all othersY'
How much time and direction was Civ
en- by Christ to organizing and how much
by the modern church organization as
compared to the work Of love in healing
the sick, feeding the hungry, clothing the
naked and helping the weak?
Is it of Christ's teaching that the entire
effort of the congregation shall be put
into the erection of a temple of worship,
in which it Is themselves who are the
benefciares of almost all the effort?
Is the rivalry between the different de-
nominations to have the most splendid
building, the finest and most costly fur
nishings, the best music, and the most
brilliant orator for the pulpit of the teach
ing of Christ?
Is it religion or Is it selfishness which
prompts the congregation to spend thou
sands of dollars for building and fur
nishing costly edifices and let the widow
starve in the adjoining block?
Is it n tribute to Christ that one de-
nomination has the highest salaried min
lister in the world and yet it is in that
fact, and not in the amount of Christian
fellowship exhibited, in which that con-
gregation prides itself, and for which
their strongest efforts have been given.
Does the educated mind become so that
it cannot comprehend what is made plain
to the most unlearned, but must have
the simple truths enlarged upon, elab-
Grated, and presented in the language OF
the most profound scholars?
Evidently there is a lack Of congeniality
between the plain and simple teachings
of Christ and the modern churches, for
the conditions, as above interrogated, are
certainly the most noticeable of the fea-
lures Of the churches. which are, in eff
feet il not in intent, but societies Of man s
own instituting.

Cor gressinan Loud Argues for the substi-

Washington, March 4.-The house
Monday entered upon the considera-
ton of the bill to classify the rural
free delivery service and substitute
the contract for the salary system for
rural carriers. Congressman Loud
(Cal.), in opening the debate, declared
that in his opinion the question in
volved was of more Importance than
any which would come before the
present congress. Upon the solution
would depend whether the rural free
delivery service would cost ultimate
ly s6O,OOO,OOO or $2O,OOO,OOO per annum.
The rural free delivery service up to
this time, he said, had been political
one and it had given many members
of congress their first taste of the
sweets of public patronage.

In HENRY'S HONOR.
Kaiser's Brother Given Splendid
Reception In the West
At st. Louis and Chicago the Royal Guest
Was Made to Know the Extent OF Amer
lean Hospitality Streets Packed
with Cheering People.

st. Louis, March 4.-Prince Henry
stopped in St. Louis nearly four hours
yesterday forenoon and during that
time he was kept busy following out
the programme laid down for his
entertainment by the local commit
tee. From the time he entered
Union station until his departure for
Chicago the royal visitor received q
constant ovation. He made splen-
did impression and his remarks and
bearing showed that he was pleased
with all he saw as well as the recep-
ton accorded him. In the only ad.
dress delivered here by him the prince
reiterated the statement made in
New York that his mission to this
country was to cement the friendly
bonds between Germany and the
United States.
The Princes Reception At Chicago.
Chicago, March 4.-The glare Of
red fire that could be seen for miles,
the blaze of hundreds of torches, the
sparkle of myriads of electric lights
and the cheers of thousands of peo-
pie made up the first taste of Chi
cago's hospitality that was given
Prince Henry of Prussia upon his ar
rival in this city yesterday evening.
A feature of the procession from
the depot to the hotel was the great
number of veteran German sol
diers who lined the streets and who
went fairly wild in their efforts to
show their devotion to the prince.
Only 30 minutes was allotted on the
programme to reach the hotel, and
the first banquet to the prince was
to follow at seven o'clock. The
committee had miscalculated q trife,
however, and it was 20 minutes after
that time when the dinner, which was
spread in the main banquet hall Of
the Auditorium, began.
1t was shortly after eight o'clock
when the prince and his suite entered
their carriages at the Auditorium
hotel for their drive to the armory.
HC uflNC was dliHOSJ an cNcu ulilC
in length, straight up Michigan ave-
nue., and for the entire distance the
sidewalks were lined as closely as the
people could be packed in with thou
sands intent upon seeing the prince.
A roar of cheers greeted him as he
left the hotel and from there until
he passed within the doors of the
armory there was one continuous
shout.
The greatest precautions had been
taken in all the arrangements at the
armory and nothing could have been
in the manner in which
everything was carried out. The
prince then left for the Auditorium
hotel to take part in the great ball
in his honor. 1t was per-
haps the most magnificent social
event ever witnessed in this city,
even the great ball given
in honor of Admiral Dewey two
years ago.
