The Mission Journal comes to
our address this week with the
editorial announcement of a
change of ownership and politics.
AS stated last week, Messrs j.
M. Cunningham and J. L. Muir
ray, formerly of the Republic,
have bought the paper from it's
former owners and will in the
future preach pure Jeffersonian
democracy. AS a newspaper,
the Journal shows improvement
with the first issue. Politically,
boys, your yearning for the flesh
pots are leading you on an ex-
ceedingly cold trail.

Pay Day and Drunkenness.
From the Milwaukee Journa

OF course, man who gets his pay en-
velope on Saturday night and who there
upon makes a human tank Of himself in a
sort of jollification because he has money
is a fool. Perhaps if he realized how GER
tainly he is his own enemy and what an
unqualified fool he is he wouldn't do it.
But he doesn't realize it. and so he gets
disgra cefully drunk and puts a sort of last
he is about as miserable as a man can well
be.
Work! Not for him. How can a man
work with splitting head and parched
throat, and remorse in his breast? So he
lays off, and down at the place where he
works his case Is talked over and some
body says: I'VE will give him one more
chance, but only one more. Good men who
are not drunkards are too easily gotten to
warrant putting up with a sot." Or,
perhaps, he is fired without another chance
for all employers are not patient. The sit
uation is not overdrawn. The curse of
business in many lines is the inefficiency of
employees in the early days of the week by
reason of their personal habits
In Massachusetts great number of en-
ployers changed the weekly pay day from
Saturday to the middle of the week There
was no attempt to conceal the purpose 1t
was done to save men from themselves
and many of them were grateful A pocket
containing weeks salary, combined with
day on which there is no work makes a
bad combination for those who are weak.

The Masses All Right.
I'm the New Haven Register

rTOU tne new haven Register.
There are times when men weary of the
struggle of life. when their souls are tried
because of the incomprehensible burdens
put upon them, when the material success
of the charlatan and the morally sodden
shocks his sense of fair play, and when per-
sonal modesty and consideration for Others
seem to have lost their dividend-paying
power. Then 1t is that the wise among
them look beyond self and seek an answer
to their wonderings in the condition of the
masses. There lies the key to the secret
of Gods mystery. Are they at work which
Is the lot and blessing of man? Are they
honorable in their dealings with their fell
lows, which Is the justification for human
pride? Do they uphold the laws of the
land and contribute to orderly conduct.
for It's vindication? If they find affirma
tive answers to these inquiries they turn
with less apprehension to the accommodations
OF great wealth, to the selfishness of the
golden dollar, to the ceaseless agitation of
political dreamers and to the abuse of gov
eminent itself So long as the great heart
of the mass of the people beats true these

lets of the centuries. Sooner or later when
the abuse of power leans too heavily upon
the thrift and patience of the people the

there will come from their midst the In
spired leader, as Lincoln was, to effect
their emancipation That the moral stand
ard was never higher among the masses of
the people Is reason enough to return
thanks. with an additional prayer for the
few who live only for themselves, and who,
using men as stepping stones to a baser
ambition. are themselves despised though
at the same time feared.

Why Women's Shoe Laces Come United

From the st. Louis Globe Democrat
Why is it that a ladys shoe becomes
united so much more frequently and ap-
parently easier than a mans?" repeated ]
V. Laid, the shoe salesman, after me-
We'll, l don't suppose 1 would be In any
better position to answer a question than
any one else had it not been for the fact
that few days ago a couple of ladies'. Gus
toners of my place, were discussing that
very point, and their deductions appear to
solve the riddle perfectly
1T is not that a Woman's shoe laces will
not tie in as firm knot as any others; the
reason for the frequent annoyances to
which women are subjected is apart from
that. In the case of high shoes the trouble
is altogether in their height. The shoe
laces further up on the leg than a mans
usually fits more snugly and, therefore
encounters greater strain on the knot
when a woman is walking. The result is
that it becomes loosened within a very
short time. whereas a man may walk all
day without the laces of his shoe becom-
ing united. Where low shoes are worn the
skirts Tapping around the ankle do the
work of loosening the knot

This battle took place directly in front of
the 10th street subway station on Broad

trance was wrecked, and not few of the
students were severely injured.
The firing of revolver al some of the
sophomores by Kingdom Gould the pre-
vious day somewhat dampened the ardor
of these young men, and, with the eXcep-
ton of the engagement at 10th street, lit
tie effort was made to capture freshmen
for the banquet.
The surface traffic was stopped for over
an hour, and the subway station was
wrecked, its glass doors being demolished.

and boarded a downtown subway train, but

Played Practical Joke.

Several of the professors intimate friends
conceived the idea several years ago of
playing a practical joke on him. One even
ing two of them walked into his F street
academy with a young man who appeared
to be badly ''pigeon-toed."
You say you can teach people to walk
correctly" said one of them: now we have
with us distinguished young gentleman of
high family who cannot walk correctly.
He is 'pigeon-toed.' to use a common eX-
preston. and his wealthy parents will pay
you literally if you can remedy the defec-
tive gait.
"All right replied Prof Sheldon IF
any one can straighten him out l think 1
can
He then escorted the young man into an
adjoining room. The latter had apparently
a most clumsy, awkward gait and STUN
bled about like a half-tpsy man. The
professor labOred with the supposed pupil
for half hour, until both were tired and
covered by perspiration, when suddenly the
young man Strengthened up, his feet flew
out into the correct position. and he al
most caused the surprised dancing master
to faint by remarking drily:
And now, professor, allow me to show
YOU a few stunts in walking, running leap

For five minutes, it is stated, the stranger
INDUCED in variety of marches Jumps

waltzing made them dizzy. The French
man simply shrugged his shoulders and
said it could not be helped Prof. Sheldon
heard these complaints, and, turning to the
dancing master, said:
''Why don't you turn the other way?"

teacher.
He at once adopted the suggestion. The
result was the general adoption of the re

Hon. Horace G. Stone, general coun-
sci for Capt. Oberlin NJ. Carter, re-
turned yesterday from Brunswick,
where he went to make a personal in
vestigation of the work done at that
port under Capt. Carriers supervision.
Mr.. Stones idea is to get as much
evidence as possible as to the efficiency
of Capt. Carriers conduct of the af-
fairs of the government, and his I'M
swerving fidelity to it. He will also
get evidence as to the large amounts
Of money which he saved the govern
ment in making contracts. and in the
manner of doing the work under his
supervision.
Mr.. Stone considers the most val
liable evidence in his possession the
statement made by Capt. Green in
Quebec, TO the effect that neither he
nor Gaynor had given Carter a penny
and that the idea of Carriers being
punished for anything of the kind was
cruel and unjust, This statement was
corroborated by Gaynor.
