of over 10000 prominent Americans,
The work embraces the names Of
of every prominent man and women
in America up to date of publication,
1902. OF the ten thousand and more
educational data is given, 4,52l almost
half are graduates of some college
comforting baccalaureate degrees,
while 965 more attended some of these
institutions but did not complete
courses. One thousand six are gradu-
ates of normal schools and academies;
2,O59 are graduates of West Point or
Annapolis; 282 received private educa-
tionS, and 366 were educated In
foreign institutions. These make a
a total of 9,1p9, all of whom may be
considered as having received "higher
education" Besides these, 808 have
high school Quotations; 81 are self
taught, and so who have attained to
fame in the army or navy have edu-
cation other than that received at the
government schools.
This means that while 1923 college
graduates have attained to sufficient
fame to earn a place in the upper ten
thousand of America, only l,O78 per-
sons who never attended college have
done as we'll and only 1923 who attend
ed but failed to graduate have earned
places on this American roll of fame,
The 239 who have high school educa.
tion only form trihe less than two
per cent of the whole. Those who
have common school education only
form less than one per cent.
In other words common school edu.
cation equips one person in each hun.
bred for successful struggle in life,
high schools equip two and the COL
leges equip the other ninety-seven
eighty of the ninety-seven being grad
yates.
This rather seems to show that a
college education pays.-Topeka

Last week the Herald made edl-
torial mention of the fact that every
one of the Kansas delegation In con.
gresS except Senator Long is favorable
to Senator Harris for a position on
the Isthmian canal commission. The
article referred to met an unfavorable
comment by the Dispatch. The Her.
aid merely made mention of the facts
as they appear. However, 1t seems
that the Dispatch considers that
there Is but one Kansas republican In
congress, and that one is the new
senator.

Does College Education Payp

Owing to the active propaganda or
ganized by the heads Of the various in
situations of higher education the old
fashioned person who used to talk
about education beinga failure, a USE
less expense and a waste of time
which would better be employed in
learning some trade or profession out
side Of the schools Is passing away.
But he Is only paSSing-haS not by any
means passed. There are a good many
OF him yet on the earth. Every little
while someone asks whether it really
pays to send the boys and girls to col
lege. 1t is not a great while since a
prominent business man, the head of a
great industrial institution employing
thousands Of men, voiced this Sentl-
ment and here and there has been
heard the statement that a vast major
ity OF the railroad men who have
REACHED high positions are men with
out college education. The writer
remembers once having heard it
boasted Of certain railroad-the Wa
bash, If his memory serves him right
ly-that no officer or employ of the
system, from president to section hand
had ever graduated from any school of
higher learning. The statement may
be true or not. 1t was made upon
doubtful authority. But the point
here to be made is that the belief is
held by many that higher education
does not pay and thatany man should
use the foregoing assertion as arQu-
ment shows that person still to hold
to the old idea.

Did you ever stop to think that the
English language grows only through
the energies Of its extreme classes
the highest and lowest? New words
are born into the language In about
equal numbers through the conscious
efforts Of the great scientists and
through the unconscious actions OF
the slang using denizens Of the slums
and frequenters Of the sporting houses.
The marked difference between the
productions from the two sources is
that the scientifically produced word
has a pedigree reaching back for ages
into Latin or Greek or Sanskrit while
the slang word is born Of the necessity
Oi a moment and is unable to trace
It's ancestry farther than the first
generatiOn.-TOpeka Herald.

Honey Drunkenness.

1t is not generally known that John
W. Guiteau, brother of Charles j.
Guiteau, who shot Garfield, Is in
many respects the greatest statstican
in the world.
Guiteau is vertable crank on fig
ures, but his crankineSs is very profit
able. Just now the government is
under contract to pay him $25, 900 for
certain tabulatlons. The big insur-
ance companies are his profitable
clients.
Guiteau is the only man who has
succeeded In getting inside the books
of Dun's and Bradstreet's commercial
agencies. 1t was he who gave out the
startling statement that the books of
these companies contained but per
cent Of the names that were there
twenty years agol
What a pathetic story of the prema.
ture deaths and business failures Of
the last twenty years.
But there is more of the same sort;
Guiteau says that Of the men Of
this country who live to be 90 years
of age, so out of 100 are absolutely
dependent upon Others for living.
That is an appalling revelation.
OF every 1000 human barques that
with precious argoSles set buoyant
sail 600 are wrecked on the coasts of
business failure.
Failure
Eight of every ten who fight In the
business arena bite the Sawdust. For
men do right today as they fought n
arena at Rome and Antioch. And 80
of the 100 are carried out dead or de-
feated.
WhyS
Because of competition. Because
of extravaganza. bad habits and many
other things. But largely, because Of
speculation.
Read the list Of the victims Of the
get-rich-quick swindles at New Or
leans and st. Louis. Men women and
children were all trying to get some
thing for nothing.
And there is gambling on the board
of trade where the maeIstrom swal-
lows men alive.
The wheat pit is only thirty feet
across. But 1t has swallowed whole
fleets Of business cargoes.
1t is only few feet deep, but 1t has
let thousands Of souls down to Hades;
The man who is doing we'll becomes
dissatisfied. He reasons ~ work
like slave and save a few dollars.
So and so makes dollars where l make
cents. He runs the risk. Why should
| not venture2" And before he knows
it he Is in deep water and unable to
swim.
We are a nation Of spectators.
The craving for wealth becomes a
disease. Men are money drunk.
This Is not rhetoric. 1t is fact.
Government and insurance companies
pay men like Guiteau large sums OF
money for disclosing this real history.

Comm Back To Kansas.

They're comm back to Kansas,
They're crOSSin' on the bridge;
You can see their mover wagons
On the top of every ridge.
On the highways and the turnpikes
You can hear their wagons hum,
For their comm back to Kansas,
And they're comm on the run.
Who's a comm back to Kansas?
Why, the migratory crowd
Who left the state some months ago
With curses long and loud.
And they SwOre by the Eternal
That they never would return
To this Kansas land internal
Where the hot winds blast and burn,
Where the rivers run in riot
When they want 1t to be dry
Where the sun so tiercely ScOrcheS
When they want cloudy sky.
So they loaded up the children
And they whiStled for the dogs;
Tied COW behind the wagon,
To the butcher sold the hogs;
Hitched the ponies to the schooner,
Turned her PROV towards the east,
Left this beaStly state Of Kansas
For the land of fat and feast.
Did they find it? Naw-they didn't!
Though they rOamed the country DER
From the lakes up in the Northland
To the far.off ocean shore.
And they found that other sections
Had their tales of woe to sing;
So they're humpin' now for Kansas
At the breakin' Of the spring.

Phillipsburg's Building Boom.
Several Business Buildings Sure to be
Erected This Coming Season.

The newspaper comments OF late re-
garding the building boom IN this
city in the coming season have not
been idle talk. Plans are already
being considered for several business
buildings which will, besides greatly
improving the beauty of PhillipSburg,
add materially to its growing in
tereStS.
The most imposing structure
of the whole number will be the pro-
posed Masonic temple. Several plans
or this temple have been considered
but none as yet accepted. There are
wolocationS favorably mentioned-on
the west side of the lots north Of the
First National Bank, a two story
building to be built facing the east
and also facing the south on the west
Of the bank building, the other is on
the east side north of Winship'S store.
In the event that the temple should
be located here Mr.. WinShip would
add another story to his store and
have a hall room above. This would
give a magnificent block, the dimen-
sions being 1OOxl2O feet. Whether
this temple is to be built and where
will be decided in short time.
George Townsend, who recently
purchased the lots on the southwest
corner Of the square. is contemplating
the advisability of putting up good
brick business block upon that corner.
This would greatly improve that side
of the square.
G.. A. Locke the photographer finds
larger quarters desirable and will put
up one story building about 25x60
feet as soon as possible. He will use
brick If they can be secured, if not he
will use iron. This will be great i'm
provement for the north side. This
building of Mr.. Locke's may cause Mr..
Polling to build an addition to the
back of his business property thus
Afurther improving the north side.
1t has been commonly reported that
Mr.. Beckley is going to erect good
brick business building on bis lots on
the south side now occupied by the
Delmonico restaurant, but we have
not yet learned whether this is a GER
tainty.
While the plans for some of these
structures have not been defnitly ar
ranged, there is little DOUBT that the
demands Of the business portion Of
the city will receive attention. Every
house In town is occupied, and the
business men who believe in expan-
sion must have more room.
But the building will probably not
be limited to the business part of
town. Every dwelling house is also
occupied, and new residences may be
expected, besides the two already
being constructed.
PhillipSburg is just keeping pace
with the country round about it. The
last two or three years have been pros
porous and the city has felt the in
tiuence of better times. This building
boom is not of the bubble sort but
good substantial growth.

the demands that are being made by
labor organizations. This conclusion

stated at the meeting that many of
