II is pity that more of our leaders
of thought and opinion do not follow
the example Of Grover Cleveland and
occasionally speak of problems which
confront tie nation as whole with
out dragging in partisan politics. In
his speech before the Commercial Club
of Chicago the ex-President took
''Good Citizenship as his subject, and
without hint of partisan bias made a
notable address on the duties and re-
sponsibilities which confront every
citizen Of the republic. It is well to
be reminded at times that notwith
standing the stress and strain Of par
tisan strife, all are citizens of a com.
mon country working for a common
end

THE price Of coal at the mines in
Illinois is stated IA the annual report
of the bureau Of labor statistics in that
state for 1901 to have been $1.18 / 10 a
ton. In Missouri in 1901 the price at
the mines was $1.24 ton. Our aver
age Of $1.3O in the two states was a
little over the mark, but this fact
merely strengthens the point that the
difference between the cost of coal at
the mines and it's cost to consumers is
mysterious. How is The profit of $50
or 200 per cent after the coal leaves the
mines divided up between transporta-
ton lines and dealers? The public
would be glad to arrive at this infor-
mation.--St. Louis Globe Democrat.

Publicity and the Church.

One of Milwaukee's most prominent
clergymen, Rev. DIR. Judson Ellsworth,
pastor of Plymouth church, in recent
interview reported in the Milwaukee
Sentinel advocates the maintenance
of bureau Of publicity in every
church, but he does not recommend
sensa tonal advertising. The basis OF
his theory is that the church should be
conducted as business enterprise.
When there are applied to the churches
the same principles that insure sue
cess in other lines of activity the
churches will become prosperous. Con
Quoted as charitable enterprises, their
growth will be uncertain. This age
is not more thoughtless or more ire
hgious than any other. It Is merely
more full OF diverse activities and in
terests. Men and women are so much
preoccupied by their vacations and
avocations that they forget their re-
Ngious obligations unless reminded In
some insistent manner"
Rev. DR.. Titsworth's point Is well
taken. In ecclesiastical as well as bust
ness affairs 'judicious advertising Is
the corner stone of success"

Pensiou For Aged Professors.

In his annual report President Faunce
Of Brown university urges a system Of
pensions for professors retired by rea-
son of age. He calls attention to the
fact that Harvard university allows a
professor who has been in active serv-
ice for twenty years or more to retire
after sixty on from one-third to two
thirds of his salary. Yale allows half
d salary after sixty-five, as does Co
lumbia Cornell retires at seventy.
Amherst is arranging a similar plan.
The United States retires its navy Off
GERS at sixty-two, its army officers at
sixty four, and President Faunce might
have added the time is apparently APP
preaching when the government will
have to choose between retiring pen
sions for its civil servants or depart
ments clogged with men inefficient
from old age. Now that removals are
few, men remain in Office indefinitely,
and every department head at Wash
ington is embarrassed by faithful gov
eminent servants whose days Of serv-
ice are passed, but for whom the gov
eminent makes no provision in a pen
sion.
In industrial lines the same principle
Is taking shape. The Erie railroad has
recently adopted rule forbidding new
engagements of men who are older
than thirty-five and dropping all those
recently employed who are above this
age. This plan includes pension sys-
tenn for superannuated employees who
have spent their lives in the company
service. The Pennsylvania some time
ago put such system in operation.
AS the pace Of modern industry and
the pressure of modern life increase
there Is increased difficulty for men OF
advanced age to get and hold places
More and more industry gravitates to
ward an organization in which mer
are worked to the utmost during the
active years After this period is over
in some form, by a general tax, by
provision on the part Of corporations
and employers or by a combination OF
both, some form Of pension ought to bt
provided for faithful men whose serv
ices have extended over long term Of
years. 1t is not enough to say thai
they should have acquired competen

then turn them out to shift FOR them

Does College Education Pay2

Desiring to know whether college
education for women pays" the As
ISOLATION of College Women recently
sent out circular letters to the alum
n@ of various colleges, the replies to
which are interesting.
OF 451 graduates replying 23S receive
less than $75 month, and 165 receive
from $75 to $500 and over. The range
Of teachers salaries is very wide, q
receiving less than $50 month, "a
receive from $50 to SIS, 40 receive from
$50 to 500, 90 receive from 500 to
5000, one $500 and one over $500. This
seems to show profit on the invest
ment. Women without education sell
dom earn as much as 500 month.
But many Of these reported to the as
ISOLATION have very much larger in
comes from their labor.
But 1t should be remembered that
education for either men or women is
not merely matter of money getting.
well trained mind is no less useful
for women who choose a home career
than for those who become breadwin-
ners. A woman of education is pretty
apt to be more capable wife and
mother than one Of inferior mental at
tainments, as it can hardly be denied
that personal power is augmented by
the store of knowledge and sharpened
understanding which are obtained in
college.

THE school board, with a forbear-
2uce which augurs we'll for the future.
declined to get into rowsat its regu-
lar meeting Tuesday night over the
question of a change Ia the music
books in use in the Eschools and al
though numerous agents for various
book concerns we're present in force to
help along any trouble which might
start the board finally decided to keep
the present books for at least another
year. Thatathe action of the board
will be approved by lthe majority of
the school patrons goes without say
ing. Many of the patrons of the
schools regard the study of music as
fad anyway and believe that the time
and money expended on that study
could be more pro6tablv used in other
lines of school work. Not being i'm
pressed with the value to tEe pupils of
this particular study they believe that
the expense of retaining it in the
schools should be made as srrall as
possible. Any change in te1.t books is
a serious matter to many parents and
guardians whose resources are strained
to the breaking point in the effort to
keep their children in school at all and
the decision of the board not to require
the expenditure of any more money in
the purchase of text books for course
which is regarded by many as OF
doubtful value is a wise one.

More Sessions Of Congress.

It is intimated that in his forthcom-
Ing annual message President Roose-
velt will recommend that congress
change the date Of holding its regular
sessions so that three instead Of two
sessions may be held in every two
years. There is perhaps something to
be said on both sides Of this PROPOSE
ton. If the holding Of three sessions
instead Of two during the life Of a
congress will facilitate the transac-
ton of the nations business there is
no good reason why they should not
be held, since members of congress are
paid for their full time, and the addi-
tional expense would be trifing.
Under the present rule member Of
congress is elected in November. His
term of Office begins on the 18th Of the
following March, the date upon which
a presidential term begins. But as a
rule he does not take the oath of of
fee nor. begin to discharge the duties
Of his Office until the second Deem
Der following his election or thirteen
months after it and some eight months
after he has begun to draw his pay.
If at any congressional election the
people have declared by their votes for
or against any given policy they must
wait thirteen months before any move
can be made to secure legislative ac-
ton thereon, unless an extraordinary
session is called.
It has been suggested and it is init
mated that the president will so rec
ommend that congress should meet on
the 4th Of March following a general
election, thus making the term Of a
member begin with the discharge of
his active duties as such member. At
this first meeting organization might
be completed and things arranged for
rapid work ct the longer session, which
would begin. as now, in the following
December The second session would
be the long one and could continue,
say, until June l. by which time most
Of the really important matters ought
to be out Of the way. Then in the
following December congress would
reassemble to sit until March 4, when
new congress would come into being.
This, it is believed, would not only
give opportunity for more prompt &C
ton on any pending question Of pol
icy, but facilitate the general work Of
congress and lessen the possibility Of
disastrous deadlocks.
The desired end might be accom-
ptshed in this way and it might not.
The average congress would rather talk
politics than do business, and it is pos
sible that If there were more sessions
there would be more talk and even less
business. The way in which really
important business is frequently post
poned until the last day Of session
and then rushed through without prop
er consideration is an exhibition Of
congressional tactics hardly likely to
be effected one way or the other by
increasing the number Of sessions. Be-
sides, it may be questioned whether
the country, which would prefer to
have less rather than more congress
ION its hands," would relish the idea.

THE case of the little Italian girl de-
tanned by the immigration authorities
in Quebec seems to be one instance Of
where good law works a great hard
ship in an individual and exception al
case. There can be no question of the
wisdom of that provision of the immi-
grafton laws which refuses admission
to this country of persons affected with
diseases which make them liable to be-
come public charges. Over half the
inmates of charitable institutions in
this country are foreign born and the
wisdom of keeping out all others likely
to increase the number of dependents
is only too apparent. In this case,
however, the relatives Of the little girl
are willing and ready to support her
and they are in position to give sat
isfactory bonds that she will never be-
come public charge, even if her dis
ease causes total blindness. IF she is
sent back to Italy she will have to
live the rest of her life far away from
any relatives as all of her family are
now in this country. Ia view of the
exceptional features of the case it is to
be hoped that the prominent gentle
men who have interested themselves
in her case will be able to find some
way to persuade the immigration bu-
reau to make an exception in her favor
and permit her to come to Kenosha.

The city has been so busy regulating
the speed of automobiles lately that it
has had no time to devote to BICYCLES
and yet some of the riders need little
attention from the authorities again.
The utterly reckless manner in which
some of the bicyclists are riding on
some of the principal streets at certain
hours is menace to the lives and
limbs of the luckless pedestrians who
have to take chances of being run
down every time they cross the street.
It is dark now by the time the factor
les shut down and it is as much as a
mans life is worth to cross any of the
principal streets leading from them
during the half hour when the workers
are going home. More bicycles than
the tax assessor ever saw, all going at
higher rate of speed than is suppos-
ed to be allowed under the city ordin.

imposition Of few fines always has a
salutary effect on all the riders fol
awhile but the effect only lasts about
SO long and then the work has to be
done all over again. It is time tina,
the police started in again on another
lesson.
