MONEY AND HAPPINESS.

DAVID r. FORGAN, vice president
~ Of the First National Bank Of Chi
eago. has been telling an Evanston
church congregation something of the
advantages Of poverty and the disad-
Vantages OF wealth. Mr.. Forgan ought
TO be an authority. because he has tried
both sides OF his subject, He declares
that ne hopes to be worth a million be-
fore he quits, but at the same time he
thinks the, poor man has one envfable
Advantage over the rich in the absence
OF care Whereas a millionaire has his
business anxieties always with him,
most Of the men in humber circum-
stances do not worry much after their
days work is over.
Mr.. Forgan only hints at the facts in
the case. 1t is possible for man to
worry a good deal over the possession
of a million; and it is quite possible
for q. man to be entirely happy who
hasn't a cent to his name. Happiness
is so largely a matter Of temperament,
Of ability to be satisfied with little, thar
dollars and cents are only an incident
Given good health, a clear conscience,
an average amount Of intelligence and
an environment adapted TO ones tastes,
the size of ones bank account is an IN
important factor. Contentment is only
another name for the ability to do ones
work well, sleep well, eat well and en-
JOY the pleasures which every man may
ind around him at no cost at all.
John Bunyan in his prison would
hardly serve as a model of happiness
for the Iatter-day millionaire. but II
may be doubted whether even Mr. For
gan gets as much out Of life as the old
pilgrim did. Fox, who wrote the Book
Of Martyrs" thought 1T all over and
concluded that a suit to wear. enough
to eat and a place to sleep made up the
limit OF human comfort; and that hap
piness could be had with these plus the
assurance Of spiritual salvation. HUI
man nature has not changed much
since Fox's day, and more Of US would
be care free fl we were only phiIosO-
pliers enough te adopt Fox's creed

WHERE CREDIT IS DUE.


nj OW THAT THE SCHOOLS have
~ closed and the difficulties attend
ing the completion OF the session are
over, it is in order for the public to re-
member that the success of the popular
movement TO keep the schools open is
due particularly to one man. Simon
Bamberger
1t is true that a number Of prom
inent men contributed to the fund;
that countless citizens did their fun
share, but it is also true that If Mr..
Bamberger had not sacrificed his time
and his personal comfort to the bust
ness Of soliciting subscriptions, the
whole movement would have fallen
short OF success.
Possibly enough has been said Of the
causes which led to the humiliating
necessity Of asking the people fndivid-
ually to do what should have been done
from public funds. But it is well to re-
member that a few men with interested
motives were able to embarrass the
whole school system Of the city; and
the memory should serve to prevent a
repetition Of their attack on the schools.
Salt Lake must have a school system
maintained at the highest standard It
must have a full school year under the
best possible instructors. The schools
have been in grave danger Of taking a
second-class position among the educa-
tional institutions Of the country, and
a repetition Of the danger should be
averted at any cost.

THE ANNOUNCEMENT that the
4 Great Northern railroad has made
extended reductions In rates from all
points east to Pacific coast points, the
reduction covering some 500 commOdi-
ties. is a departure that VIII be
watched with great interest. President
Eiu has been following a deliberate
and welI-matured policy, Of which this
is part. TO develop traffic and build up
the territory of the Great Northern.
His steamship lines, his energetic ef-
fort TO secure the Asiatlc business. his
careful Watchfulness Of local interests
all along the line, have given a ire
mendous impetus to the growth and
wealth Of the Puget sound country. It
S., therefore, a natural outcome Of his
policy that he should announce a vol
untary concession TO shippers amount
ing to from 10 TO 50 per cent reduction
for 5obbers-
That such a policy is profitable Is a
fOregone- conclusion. because Mr.. Hin
is not operating railroads for diversion
merely, or for his health. And the
other great transcontinental systems
are taking much the same view of
traffic possibilities, though not per-
haps on so liberal a scale.
The future Of the Rocky mountain
region and the Pacific slope states de-
pends upon this upbulding OF business
on conservative lines. A case in point
is the gradual construction by the Ore
gon- short Line of branch lines tapping
the rich valleys and plains OF Idaho.
AS fast as these feeders are built they
bring in settlers. people Of some means,
who bring land into cultivation, con-
tribute to the wealth Of the state and
at the same time furnish additional
traffic for the railroad

adjUtant general Of Indiana were emf
nently right in declining to pay an ex-
orbitant hotel bill while in St Louis
attending the dedicatOry exercises Of
the exposition In fact, the Indiana
delegation adopted the only sane and
effective course that was open to them.
They offered to pay the amount of the
contract price. and when that was not
accepted, resoluteIy declined to pay
anything more. So the account is an
open one. If the hotel in question in

a test case and show by their course
that they do not propose to allow their
