by little care among the people the

from the germs contained in the water

LOOK BEYOND THE SALARY.

Success is too often measured by
the young man just starting out in
life by the amount of salary received.
Such a view of life is entirely errone-
GUS and works great injustice,not
alone to the employer, but more direct
ly to the person himself He looks with
yearning at the position held by other
men, which bring with them certain
authority and large remuneration, and
he becomes impatient with his sur
roundings. He forgets that the men
who have attained positions of respon-
sibility and large salaries have come
to their places through years of earn
est persistence. effort and close appli-
cation to gaining a comprehensive I'M
derstanding of the business in which
they are engaged.
1t would be well for young men who
are just entering upon the duties of
life to lose sight of the salary they re-
ceived for their labors. It is the most
important time in the life of any
young person, not from a financial
point of view but as time in which
their experience may be broadened
and their knowledge of affairs increas-
ed to a point that will in after years
prove valuable asset to their lives.
1t should be admitted that the sal
airy that young man receives at the
beginning of life is entitled to Ger.
tain consideration, not as to the
amount received, but as to the part of
it he saves. The formation of habits
of industry and frugality are most i'm.

building and in this connection alone
is the question of salary for the begin.
ner of special Importance. In this con.
nection "a current number of Success

"A boy or man who works simply

ly and honestly cared for" The news
paper shows the truth of this
by specific contrasts between city
managed work and other work, that
would be. of surprising character If
they were not so common. Why do
such conditions exist? 1t is because,
and only because, a large body of the
citizens who affect any moral princi-
pies in the moral conduct of life have
one standard of morals for private CON
duct and another standard for official
conduct. This does not apply toHthe
irreligious and ignorant alone. 1t ap-
plies to the graduates of the high
schools and universities and to the
communicates of churches of all
creeds and names. In Chicago, as GER
tainly as in any other city, union of
the educated and religious people can
accomplish reform if they are single
and sincere in their moral aim. A
double standard of morals is like a
double standard in money--one which
is cheap and delusive will antagonize
and vitiate the virtue of the better

A CARNEGIE HENEFAcTIoN.

The new library building in Wash
ington donated by Andrew Carnegie
which was dedicated Wednesday, cost
$277 900. 1t is III feet 5 inches long,
by 80 feet 10 inches broad, with two
wings, each 63 feet inches long, and
furnishes 1907 square feet of library
room. The design is Greek, the inter
ior is finished with marble through
out with great simplicity and beauty,
George b. Post of New York and Hen
ry Van Brunt being the architects.
The library is situated in what is
called Mount Vernon Square, a little
park bounded by and X and Seventh
and Ninth streets, being in the midst
of the residences of what are known
as "the plain people"-the class who
borrow books. This location was Sc
lected on the theory that if the veal
thier classes of the city desired to pat
ronize the library they could afford to
pay street car fares.

THE INDEMNITY OF CHINA.

The United States government has
again shown its wisdom and magma
nimity by its willingness to accept the
payment of the Chinese indemnity on
a silver; basis, Notwithstanding the
strict terms of the international agree
ment, which specify gold payment
The unusual decline of silver and the
straits in which China is involved are
certainly sufficient reasons to entitle
it to lenient treatment. In fact all the
great nations concerned could well af-
ford to waive the point of silver pay
ment when 1t means so much to the
debtor nation and which, if enforced,
may carry with it most direful results.
1t is conceded by those who are in
close touch with the condition of af-
fairs in China, that should the strict
observance, of the International agree
ment as to the payment of the indem-
nifty be enforced, there is great proba-
bility of that country becoming in
volved in another great insurrection.
| 1t is further claimed that such re.
suit might seriously affect the contin.
uance of the present dynasty in power.
Another outbreak would cost the pow.
ers many times the amount of money
that would be involved in the abate.
ment of their dues by silver pay,
ment. 1t would also doubtless affect
the opportunities of the powers to Sc.
cure closer relations with the eastern
nation for the advancement of com
mercial interests.
Notwithstanding all these consider
ations the powers are manifesting a
disposition to deal harshly with China.
1t is apparent at the present time that
they will demand full payment, to the
last cent. This has manifestly been
their position from the first. They
will have their pound of flesh" Quite

cial relations of the oriental nation

tinent are at present more favorable
for this country than at any previous
period, and the continuance of these
happy relations and the extension of
our trade will largely depend upon

Our state department throughout the
progress of the recent trouble has kept
these conditions in view and has al

circles. TIL other powers by continu-

TYPHOID GERM KILLER.

1t appears that the alleged discov-
cry made recently in Chicago of the
efficacy Of lemon juice as a typhoid
germ destroyer in water is but the
general application of a principle that
has long been known by physicians.
1t has been urged by the board of
health OF that city through the papers
that the people that take preventative
measures against the spread of the
typhoid epidemic. 1t has been urged
that the water used for family purposes
should be boiled and to make this sure
that all germs are killed the addition
of lemon juice has been advocated.
4 Now that the attention of the pub
lie has been called to the matter, prom
inent physicians all over the country
are lending their support to the advo-
cacy of this remedy as preventative
against the spread of typhoid fever.
DR.. w. H. Billings. bacteriologist OF
the board of health of New York in
speaking of this remedy says: q
have not made any experiments my.
self, but / am sure that lemon juice
in water will kill germs if enough is
used. Orange juice will do the same
thing, and in fact, we have been feed
ing patients that right along. There is
nothing new in this discovery of lem
on juice. 1t takes more orange juice
than lemon juice, because the former

Comparing the magnitude of the devel-

lowA,s IMMIGRANTS.

Iowa does not seem to have been a
favorite location for the European inn
migrants during the past twelve
months. In former years thousands of
home seekers from all parts of the
continent came to the Hawkeye counr
try, but during the year 1902, according
to the report of the immigration COM
missioner, but 1904 foreigners have
domiciled within the bounds of this
state. OF this number, 1922 came
from the Scandinavian peninsula Ger
many furnished the next largest quo
ia, with 1,135; the Dutch and Flemish
numbered 400 and the English are
next with only 1877.
The following shows the nationality
of the entire 5,O64 arrivals in this state
during the year: ts
Bohemian and Moravian, IS; Chin

Even though the number of immi-
grants to Iowa has been small during
the past year it would seem from the
report of the immigration authorities
that this state received in quality all
that was desirable in its new resi-
dents This condition is attributable
largely to the fact that Iowa has no
l large cities and SO per cent of its ter
ritory is tillable land. The report OF
immigration commissioners show that
practically 10 per cent of the Iowa i'm
migrants are CLASSIFIED as skilled in
some profession or trade, while go per
cent have miscellaneous occupations

where land values are as high as at

ONE CODE OF MORALS.

1t is a deplorable fact that in many
cases men become but the creatures
Of their surroundings. 1t has often
been noted that under some conditions
men will do things that under other
circumstances they would emphatical-
ly denounce. 1t is indeed trite say
ing that these conditions often prevail
among the men in public life, but it
is only too true that this condition ex-
lists among all people in far too great
degree. Wherever the state or ma
ton is concerned, men, whether they
be public servants or not, will consent
to deeds that ii applied to their own
private interests, they would most siren
uously condemn. The plea of necessity
is often made, but is not the business
of the municipality, the state or the
ton amenable to the same laws as that
of any private person or firm Most
certainly, the same conditions which
bring success to an individual will be
found to,be a good method to- follow
in the administration Of public affairs.
