hard. exacting. unappreciative employ CT gets the former kind of service: 9 large-mindcd, generous, sympathetic man gets the latter An ideal employ CT interests his employees in their work, from the start, by showing that he is interested in them, by making tn m feel that he regards them as associates and valuable co-workers, not as mere hu- man machines dependent on his will or caprice. When the faculties are all alert, in an endeavor to do their very best, there is growth and development; and, where this condition exists among employees, the results are most beneficial to employer and employed alike, and, incidentally, to the public at large. A man who can arouse the en- thusiasm of workers and make them feel that in giving him the best labor of which they are capable they are also benefting themselves as they could in no other way is doing a public service. He is a practical educator.
 There is truth in this. Business may be business, but there are several ways of doing it.

fl BOSS Rg.GG.4Ti.

A vigorous campaign against profes-
 sional beggars has been going on for
 some time in New York, and the talk
 is that the king bee has finally been
 captured. The story reads well, even
 If it isn't quite true, and if it isn't
 true it indicates what may yet be true.
 The boss beggar was known by three
 names-John Smith, John Clark and
 John Hugo. He was not only a mem
 dicant, he was promoter, an organ izer. Under his direction the beggars of New York formed some years ago
 an alliance, or association, with regular headquarters. The members were as
 sessed, and funds gathered thus were
 used to employ counsel to defend those arrested for begging. Beggars found that it was to their interest to belong to the society, for those who remained
 out of it were betrayed into the hands of the police by Smith and his asso- ciates. Troublous times came for the organization when the plan of detailing special policemen to look after the beg gars was adopted. Smith saw his lieu tenants arrested and committed, until the society had been effectually SUD- pressed. Now Smith himself, the king of all, has followed his subjects to the Island"

 ganzed" the times will be even more interesting than they are now.

SEGTIFICAN7,

The incident at Oberlin college is at tracting some attention and causing some comment. but so far it's deep meaning does not seem to have been perceived. 4 young man and what is called a "co-ed" figured in this incident. The young man escorted the "co-ed' from an entertainment to the hall where she lived, and though she said mo" when he asked if he might kiss her he gave her two kisses just the same. She reported the theft of the kisses to the Dean of the woman's department and the Dean reported it to the facul- ty. After due deliberation the faculty decided that the scholarship worth $75 a year, of which the offender was re- ceiving the benefit, should be with drawn.
 A little reflection on this performance will show that the young man was be- hind the times. He had undoubtedly read and been told that woman's 10 means yes. It may have been so once, but there has been a change. Woman has been emancipated and educated until now she can both think straight and talk straight. Looked at in this light the Oberlin incident has deep sig niflcance, and it will be we'll for all men to bear it in mind.

nruanEcn Women

To the Editor of the Journal and Courier:
 Does the casual reader of MT. Leigh's note in your issue of to-day imagine that an intoxicated woman is a rare sight The writer recalls at least half dozen; one stretched helpless on the floor of the patrol wagon, one whose clothing was held about her by com panion, two others exceedingly profane and abusive on street car. Does the everyday reader give thought to the possible future of these girls? Investi- gation Of the descendants of one disst- pated woman showed between six and seven hundred with criminal records, 60 of whom ended at the gallows. An evening paper indicates that the au- thorities will prevent the degrading exhibitions" Is it worth while to con- slider whether the exhibition" or the condition is of the greater importance? Suppose the saloon that created the condition was hunted out of the State as energetfcally as diseased cattle.

 We look for what we're wanting And discover what we're hunting, And we make our lamentations long and loud. We may have q little trouble, but we never stop to think That the other fellow probably has more, And from undertakings difficult were very apt to shrink. Fearing we may fall as others have be- fore:
 Yet it's little we are caring, For We spend our time despairing, And we make ourselves peSsimist'c bore. 4l An unwritten law has settled that man cannot succeed If he wabhlcs in despair at every jar, But he's got to keep ambition on full and steady feed And attach his hustle wagon to star; Tho your bridges may be burning, Here's tip that's well worth learning: Never make your troubles greater than

TIE CASE OF SHOOT.

Although Senator-elect Shoot Of Utah is not polygamous Mormon he is
 Mormon, and those who are fighting Mormonism in Utah don't like his elec-
 ton and are going to do the best they
 can to keep him out of his seat. Prom inent representatives of churches in
 Salt Lake which are not Mormon give some interesting reasons why Apostle Shoot should lot be a senator. They say that an Apostle of the Mormon
 church is not citizen of the United States. He has foresWorn his allegi-
 ance and given it with all the solemni- ty of the most binding oaths to another temporal government, a government the
 machinery of which is in full working
 order. It has president who exercises dictatorial powers; it has it's own
 courts, which frequently reverse and put to naught the decisions of the States courts. They hold that to give et llISI Ol4lCSls Ollc OL LlIC 1C" " llp aoSN- lutely rule the Mormon kingdom, a seat in the Senate of the United States is to open the citadel of our liberties to our enemies. Statehood was granted on the express pledge of the chiefs of Mormon dom, notably by him who is now presi- dent of it, that henceforth the people should not be interfered with political ly. There is not, it is added, a child in Utah as much as fourteen years old who does not know that the coercion of the Mormon voters this year by the priesthood was just as pronounced as it ever was. Finally, the election of an Apostle to the Senate of the United States would be 8 notice served on eve- ry young man in Utah that if he would ever aspire to promotion in any direc- tion, his only hope in Utah is through church promotions.
 It is difficult to see how Apostle Shoot can be kept out of the Senate, as he isn't polygamous Mormon. We sup pose that reasons could be given why no member of any religious denomina- tion should hold office, but the Constitu- ton of the United States doesn't give them

BEACONFIELD's DIPLOMACY

At a dinner during the Russian in- limitation of Turkey Lord Beacons- field was once seated near an inquisi- tive hostess, who after the political sit uation had been discussed at length in- quired of her distinguished guest in a thrilling whisper: What are you go- ing to do?" "I am waiting" quietly replied the prime minister of England
 What are you waiting for?" pressed his hostess. T am waiting for you to pass the mustard" said Beaconsfield, and he placidIy continued his dinner.

APPRECIATIVE EMPLOYERS.

There are all kinds of talk about la bor and capital nowadays, and much of
 it isn't worth consideration But a writer in Success has something to say about employers which hits the mark. Many employers, he correctly points out, rob themselves of the flower of their employees service, either through lack of tact in drawing out the best that is in them or through pure mean ness and brutality of disposition. There is a great difference between work that is done mechanically, in the spirit of task that must be got rid of, and ener- getic work, done in the joyous spirit of a creator It is this difference that measures the distance between success and failure, or, at best, mediocrity.

Prohibition tm Kansas.

To the Editor of the Journal and Courier:
 It is not likely that the following let ter in a late number of "The Church. man" will be very extensively copied. but it ought to be very widely read as judicious view of the case of which it treats:
 Not as a politician do I write but to set forth facts in regard to prohibition in Kansas. If not successful, it Is more so than high license. or high license with patrol limits. with both of which I have had experience in two other states. Let us give credit where credit is due, and be grateful whatever system lessens the evil of intemperance.
 Prohibition in Kansas has reduced the annual consumption of intoxicants from above sixteen gallons per capita, the average throughout the United States, to less than two gallons. It saves S6,0000OO for the ordinary chan nels of business which would go to the saloon.
 Tt reduces the internal revenue from the manufacture and sale of int0xicants from above $20O per capita, the average throughout the United States, to less than twenty cents per capita in Kan sas.
 According to the prevailing ratio in license states, it saves annually more than 1900 from drunkards' graves. It decreases the population of the poor houses and jails and increases that of the schools and churches. More than one-third of the jails and poorhouses of Kansas are practically without inmates during a considerable part of the year.
 Your good paper has presented theo- rfes and suggestions from the noble head oS your diocese and many other most estimable and philanthropic men, and they suggest what benefit is prohi- bition?' Hence I give practical results in my experience.
 FRANK R. MILLSPAUGH, Bishop of Kansas"
 The condolences of this letter from one whose duties take him into all the i'm portant cities and towns in that state is worthy of careful notice. He does not find it necessary to de- nounce those who differ from him, nor apologize for giving a few plain facts, and the conclusions to be drawn there from would seem to be so plain that the Wayfaring man. though a fool, need not err therein (f he is sober) If some poor bcsoted victim of a lawless and law-defying joint commits murder or even a lesser crime, the press of the whole country proclaims with great lift ing up of holy hands the failure of pro- hibition in Kansas. How many politi- cal papers will CODY Bishop Mills paugh's brief statement of facts unless specially requested to do so? AMMAN.
