THE GREATMR. mURPHY.

Charles F. Murphy was big man in
New York yesterday. and he is likely
to be a big man there for some time.
And the talk is that he is ambitious to
grow in blgness as time goes on. Being
the boss Of Greater New York is not
big enough for him. He is credited
with an intention to come forward as
the State boss next year and TO select
the State ticket and the delegation to
the Democratic National Convention.
He seems to be in position to do this,
and 1t is not supposed that he will neg
lect his opportunities. Some of his en-
thusiastic followers are even asserting
that he will name the Democratic can
didate for President
Mr.. Murphy has certainly shown the
quality of leader. He made his sub
ordinates nominate Mcclellan and he
has conducted a shrewd and successful
campaign. He is entitled to be called
a big man in politics until somebody
rises, hits him on the head and makes
him sing small. Great is Murphy, and
Mcclellan is his prophet, or profit.

Meanwhile the well-roasted pig was
being carved before our eyes, and the
night breezes waited the scent thereof
to our nostrils, so that even the lady in
gray, who never eats pig, was fain to
initiate the Chinese discoveries of the
dainty, and lick her fingers after she
had passed the plate containing it to her
neighbor. Beans, bread, sweet potato
and other edibles heaped high the wood

At nine o'clock the committee hithed
the horses to the wagon that had
brought the supplies, picked up their
lanterns and led the procession back to
the college grounds. Boys and girls,
teachers and taught, found their way
through the pleasant fields without the
slightest espionage, without sugges-

any way be reTniss, 1t was all so natu-

average Berea student. They are ex-

who trust them are not disappointed.

to have pleasure in their simplicity, as

REGIf ET' AND HOPE.

OF all sad words Of tongue or pen,
the saddest are these, 1t might have
been. So saith the poet, and SO say
some Of those who put money into the
shipbuilding trust which they might
have saved If they had known anything
about the condition of the concern. 1t
is now solemnly announced that they
might have known something about it
IL the Bureau of Corporations had been
in existence sooner. The law under
which this Bureau was established
shows that the affairs of the shipbuild-
ing trust would have been legitimate
subject for investigation. The said
commissioner, reads the act, shall have
power and authority to make under the
direction and control of the Secretary
of the Department of Commerce and
Labor diligent investigation into the
organization, conduct and management
of the business Of any corporation, joint
stock company or corporate combina-
ton engaged in commerce among the
several States. and with foreign ma
tons, excepting common carriers, sub
ject to the act to regulate interstate
commerce. The method by which the
public is to be protected against the
schen1ing Of boards of directors is out
lined as follows: "The Commissioner of
the Bureau Of Corporations shall gather
together such information and data as
will enable the President Of the United
States to make recommendations for
legislation for the regulation of such
commerce, and report such data to
the President from time to time as he
shall require, and the information so
obtained, or as much thereof as the
President may require, shall be made
public"
Let us regret that the Bureau wasn't
in working order in time to prevent
some of the losses in the Shipbuilding
trust, and let us hope that it will be
in working order in time to prevent
some Of the losses in other artistic
swindles which may be invented.

absorbed in any course of four years.
A demand exists for men who have
mastered the higher education. espe-
cially on the engineering and technical
side. But there is a demand also for
graduates who have taken the classical
course only, If graduating implies
training and industry. The Pennsylva-
mia railroad, the Age adds, with the
vast diversity of its transactions, can
always find a niche in which to place a
college man. no matter what course he
may have pursued. If he shows ability
in any direction whatever there is an
opening, and 1t is never the case of
round plug in square hole. The Cen
eral Electric Company now has at its
works nearly one hundred and fifty
young men who graduated from tech
nical schools last June. These men are
really serving probationary period to
test their qualifications and their prac-
ticability as builders or handlers Of
electric apparatus. They are passing
through a preparatory course, or ad-
vanced system of apprenticeship to find
what branch of the business they are
best qualified for. In all cases of this
kind the rapidity of advancement de-
ponds entirely upon the industry and
oht1itxr .af
are willing, and in fact eager, to push
man forward just as quickly as he
can go, but, on the contrary, they have
no use for man who promptly settles
down to one job and evinces no ambi-
ton.
This is cheering, and those who can't
be distinguished athletes can console
themselves with it.

SOME ENCOURAGEMEHT'

College men who do not play baseball
or football, or row, need some encour-
agement, and the Iron Age gives them
some. 1t thinks that the outlook for
the college man who only studies is
good. All our great corporations and
manufacturing concerns, says the Age,
seek the college man, but in no sense
do they seek him because of his famil-
iarity with their business or with any
detail of their transactions; neither do
they want him. for the smattering Of
knowledge he may be able to devote to
their interests. They take him solely
for the training he has gone through
and not for the wisdom that may be
stitched in the lining of his cap. That
training the man of affairs can further
develop along lines which will be useful
to him. The having learned how to
learn is of vastly more Importance in
actual operations than all the learning

SOME PR ETY. GOOD INDIANs.

This is a big country and there are
many notable things in it. For in
stance. the Kiekapoo Indians who live
near Shawnee in Oklahoma. These In
dams show their wisdom and their adj
vanced state by having woman chief.
Her name is Wapahoko. and she is
forty years old. There is no marriage
ceremony among them, but they just
pick each other out for keeps. There
are no scandals among them. Husbands
and wives are true to each other and
the quiet understanding is considered
as sacred as our marriage vows. There
are few acts that can be termed GRIM
inal among this small band Of Indians.
Murder is seldom heard Of and death
is the penalty for the crime. Robbery
from each other is unknown. All their
possessions could be piled together in
the street and no one of them would
think of taking the property. Their
religion is the same as Columbus
found among the Indians when he first
landed in America. They believe that
there are two spirits-the great, good
spirit and the bad spirit. After death
the wicked are supposed to fall victims
to- the bad spirit. The religious wor-
ship is carried on every day. It consists
of dances and singing and beating of
torntoms. They are very delicate re-
garding their belief and seldom take a
stranger into their confidence.
These Indians seem to be quite as
good as the Tammany Indians, and also
as good as the whites recently describ-
ed by Henry Watterson.

been revisiting the Virginia battlefields,
reports that the course Of the old fed

traced by growth of fruit trees. No
body seems to know who planted them,

they originated in peach stones, apple

diers. A somewhat similar growth, but
much smaller, follows the old Confed-

With the methods now in use seven
tenths Of the force in coal is wasted. A
few years ago the waste was nine
tenths. Mr.. Edison declares that a
bucketful of coal should drive an ex-
press train from New York to Phila-
delphia, and few tons be sufficient for
the largest ocean steamship, whose
bunkers must now hold thousands. The
Oceanic consumes ton of coal every
three minutes, or about five hundred
tons day.
