THE RICH YOUNG MAN.

A few years ago the public was wor-
rying fer fear the rich young man
would waste his patrimony. Now, ap-
parently. it's worrying for fear he
won't. A weekly magazine has I'M
earthed and published what it's claims
to be an absolutely true and hitherto
unpublished story Of young John
Rockefeller and his now famous Sum
day school. 1t is to the effect that
young John went to a professional en-
tertainer and stated that the Sunday
school in question desired to give an
entertainment, and asked that, In con-
sideration of the fact that 1t was
Sunday school entertainment, her usual
price be cut little. The lady, desir-
ing to dc struggling Sunday school
a good turn, complied, and then 1t ap-
peared that the party was young
Johns exclusive affair, treat for his
class. The magazine sarcastically 1auds
young johns thrift but the Inference
it desires to have drawn is obvious;
namely, that a young man with mil
lions has no right to be thrifty at the
expense of Woodworking, poorly paid
professional entertainer.
Perhaps young John Is, like Barkis.
little near" but, nevertheless, when
we recall how we were all worrying
q few years past lest the fortunes that
hard working Americans had accumu-
lated would be made ducks and brakes
Of by their dissipated sons, we think
young John would be quite justified
In exclaiming, What do you want, any
young man who has absolutely no
vices and only one luxury, his Sunday
school, and who does not permit that
to cost him too much. He sets an
edifying example, so far as moral con-
duct is concerned, to both poor and
rich young men, and 1t has never been
said of him that he refused the poor
a piece Of advice. The accusation has
been made against him that he lacks
a sense of humor, but that is mis-
fortune rather than fault and it GER
tainly IS not serious charge.
When we consider how young John
might be spending his income. when,
we recall the disreputable dinners, the
frivolous young persons in the ballet,
the thousand and one daring escapades
that hays made the name of the young
multi millionaire reproach in the past
and furnished a poor excuse for the
wasting OF hard earned ducats, we feel
like standing up a iittle'for this young
man. What If he does take his pleas

GOOD MORALS AND GOOD TASTE
EoR DEMOCRACY.

We publish elsewhere on this page
an admirable letter from Mr.. c. D.
O'Brien, of this city, to the publishers
of the Albert Lea Standard. relating
to some editorial comment in that pa
per upon mythical events which it
calmly assumed to have happened be-
fore the meeting of the state central
committee Mr.. O'Brien not only states
the facts correctly, but he administers
a deserved rebuke and much needed
lesson to all who follow the peculiar
pattern of the Albert Lea publication.
It is certainly. time, as it is certainly
Indispensable to Democratic success
anywhere, that its members learn the
lesson of tolerance and freedom of
opinion. From Republicans we expect
only Misrepresentation and abuse. For
that the public is prepared and makes
due allowance. From Republican
newspapers like the ST. Paul Pioneer
Press and the Minneapolis Times we
expect only garbled or absolutely fab
ricated accounts Of Democratic events
or utterances, such as they published
concerning the meeting In question.
But from Democratic sources we have
reason to look for truth, fairness and
decent criticism, when criticism there
must be because of differences of opin-
ion.
Mr. O'Brien Yields a pen too vigor-
Gus to need help from any one. AS to
the Standards assertion that the editor
of T he Clio b made a speech advo-
eating the nomination of Mr.. Cleve-
land, there are just two things to be
said: first, that he did nothing Of the
kind; second that he would have moth
ing to be ashamed of and no apology
to offer If he had. But the whole cpl
sode shows that Democrats should not
depend upon Republican sources for
their facts, nor upon Republican ex-
amples for their courtesy. The cultlva-
ton Of good feeling, fair play and the
give and take without which political
action cannot be successful are con-
siderably more important to Democ-
racy than the nomination of any man
or the remembrance Of ancient grudges.

one of the most charming illusions Of
life. 1t is very probable that the con-
slant association of the sexes, destroy
ing as it does in large measure that
Illusion, may have more to do with the
increase of celibacy among college
students. Familiarity does not breed
contempt in this case, but it most as
suredly breeds indifference. The young
man who is educated with those of his
own sex only is apt to consider the young
women he meets as creatures most al
luringly puzzling. But meeting the sex
every day in the familiar intercourse of
the school room or the lecture hall he
does not become enthraIled and neither
does she. And the fact that she hap
pens to have a housekeeper's diploma
in her pocket or reticule will not re-
store the illusion that is lost.

a HOUSEKEEPING COURSE.

Because less than 20 per cent Of the
goods who have attended the Univer-
sity of Chicago in the past have not
achieved matrimonys the faculty has
deemed it advisable to introduce Into
the curriculum a coiirse in domestic
science. The girl students will not be
compelled to discontinue the study Of
the higher 'isms.''' but they will sand
wich these in with practical lessons In
cooking, housekeeping and hygiene OF
the home Whether or not the course
is to be compulsory is not stated.
but If 1t is elective it is difficult to see
how the knowledge of matters demes-
tic possessed by the coaeds is to be
greatly Increased. The girl who would
take UP a course in housekeeping vol
unfairly is not apt to be greatly in need
of it. It is the girl who considers the
wise conduct of the home as some
thing beneath her notice who really
needs instruction to make her realize
the Importance Of domestic science.
But even If every girl student is
made to take a course in housekeeping,
it is still probable that the percentage
of marriages among the co-eds would
be unaffected by it. 1t would really be
an excellent thing for the family, that
most important unit, If every man who
sought a wife ascertained, before Of
fering his heart and hand, whether or
not she was a good housekeeper and
especially good cook. But as mat
ter of fact a man has never yet mar
ried girl because she happened to
own a cooking school certificate. Her
knowledge of housekeeping only be-
comes a matter Of supreme Importance
after the honeymoon.
Moreover. although there was
period In this country when 1t
was considered rather creditable than
otherwise for the daughters Of the
house to know nothing about the
care Of the house. that period Is
rast. It Is the girls who are not able
to GO to college, the girls who are
forced to become bread winners In fac
tories and stores and offices almost as
soon as they enter their teens, who
know little or nothing about house
work; and these girls invariably marry.
There are many college girls who keep
house for themselves while attending
college. These know the meaning of
the word economy because they have
been compelled to practice it. AS for
the college girls of the other class, the
very we'll to-do class, they represent
type of progressive young American
womanhood that Is ashamed only Of
ignorance and incapability. Whether
these girls accept the course in house
keeping or not, the majority of them
would undoubtedly be able to order a
home wisely provided they have one to
order.
The faculty of the Chicago univer-
sity VIII have to. search deeper to find
cause for the increase in celibacy
among the co-eds. Romance furnishes

DOING BUSINESS WITH THE
TURK

The Cramps have built a warship
for the sultan Of Turkey, and the yes
sci is now en- route for the Dardanelles
with an American crew aboard and an
order for the amount of the purchase
price in the captains pocket. The
Cramps need the money, and the ship
will not be turned over to the Turks
until the cash has been paid down on
the nall.
1t is an odd way to do business with
a great power, but the Cramps have
the right idea of how to deal with the
unspeakable one. They accept an Or
der from the sultan for a first class
ship, which they build on lines that
would make 1t acceptable in any mar
ket They ask for no more money in ad-
vance than the cost of the no1ding. They
build the ship according to the speci-
fications. and invite the sultan to set
tie He intimates that he has the price,
but 1t Is concealed in the cellar or
in the imperial treasure box, and the
Cramps must send for it, for if the
army knew Abdul Hamid had SO much
money there would be some blood-let-
ting and a burglary. So the Cramps
ship a crew, hoist the Turkish flag.
and proceed to deliver the goods. If
the sultan doesn't settle he doesn't
get the ship.
It is the rational way to do business
with the Turk. The experience of CEN
turtles goes to show that he will not
pay his debts of he can avoid doing it.
Uncle Sam. not being bound, as the
European creditors of the Turk are,
found means to collect little bill of
his own a short time ago, and now the
Cramps are going to get ready money
out Of the moneyiess Moslem.
If the money lenders of Europe had
taken the precautions that the Cramps
are taking today there would be no
Balkan question to bother statesmen.
and the Turk would have HE'D himself
over into Asia long since.

i'WHOM SHALL MY SOUL BE-
LIEVE?"

The senate inquiry into particulars
Of the Mormon belief and practice is
as interesting as the story of the
rocks, whose cleavage shows us i'm
bedded there the perfectly preserved
forms of creatures that lived ages
ago. For this investigation amounts
merely to the putting of that inquiry,
. ancient yet ever pertinent and press
Ing, Whom shall my soul believer"
The senatorial inquisitors may not
be aware of it, yet they are but re-
newing the eternal interrogatory that
every human soul puts to itself in the
conflict of authority and Of apparent
duty that comes to 1t from the clash
Of the human environment with the
ordinances of that world Of divine COM
mand and necessary obedience In
which it lives.
The senate has gone far af1eld from
the case Of Senator Smoot. 1t has al
most forgotten him in following the
keen scent of the old, primitive trail.
1t has even lost temporarily it's hor-
ror of polygamy and it's place as pro-
tector of the family under the spur
of that compelling instinct that has
inspired the hereto hunter, the public
prosecutor in all ages since men began
to live together and be subject to
some form of common law. Obviously
the only question presently paramount
with the senators in charge of this in
quiry is whether a devout Mormon re-
CARDS the law of the land or the man
date of his church as possessing the
higher sanction; and which of the
two he would obey if they were to
impel him in contrary directions.
This question, perhaps the sternest
that can be set before any human
soul, does not attach to Mormonism in
any peculiar way. 1t has really no inher-
form Of church government, polity or
doctrine. 1t has been asked by those
in authority ever since authority erect
ed itself upon an austere but savage
individualism. Life cannot escape it,
because it sets over against each other
the two highest choices and asks the
trembling being, lowering between two
eternities, with his souls future in the
balance, to make his election. 1t is
the question that the Cavalier asked
tossed back to him on the point Of his
pike; 1t is the question that temporal
others face for ten centuries; 1t is
the question Of the Roman empire to
the trembling Christian: nay, 1t is
the crux of every dim, religious in
stinct since first the ideal of a God
soul of man.
We deceive ourselves in assuming
that these conditions of the elder world
have passed away because church and
state are separate here. and the two
sources of authority have become rec
onciled to a divided and unconfIicting
sway. The delusion is perfect Essen
TALLY we have the union OF church and
state; because our laws have been
made by those who have common
ethical system, have been reared under
a unitary code and are substantially in
agreement upon the basis of morals.
The deealogue is the property of the
Christian churches, and also the scale

LET'S HELP OURSELVES.

We publish in another column a
communication from Mr.. George w.
Cooley, president Of the Minnesota
Good Roads association, relative to the
position of The Glob e on this great
question. That position Is, we believe,
strictly Democratic, on sound economic
lines and for the benefit of the good
roads cause itself in the long run.
The arguments made by Mr.. Cooley
for federal control are familiar. They
have been used dozens of times to the
sorrow and misfortune of our people
We would not think of denying that
river and harbor work, for instance,
that would have brought hundred
times as much return to the people if
expended upon good roads. We can
not, however, see that one mistake
justffies another.
Democracy means self-support. De-
mocracy means the independence of the
local community, as we'll as that of the
individual Democracy means protest
against Capitalization. Democracy
means the exercise Of supreme eff
fort on the part of the unit to achieve
ends valuable to itself and to the pub
lie, and the calling in or acceptance of
outside help only when such attempt
has been proved fruitless. This is not
Democracy alone; it is the essence of
the best political economy, of the high
est sociology, we might almost say of
ethics and religion. Whoever begins to
forth to the full his own efforts is on
the way that leads to ineffective citi-
zenship and bad government.
We want to see the good roads cause
made the cause of the people. We do
not want 1t recognized as a govern
ment fad We admit freely it's claim
upon the public support. We want
that support exhibited in the local cir
Gle, and this. great movement to grow
from the individual upward, instead
Of descending like a great diving bell
to vitiate and exhaust the air from
the government at washington down.
The finances of the nation show that
the federal treasury cannot at.4,tbis
moment afford sue4fsa drain as=tllesnec-
essary appropriation for general
road Improvement fund would create.
All experience shows that to take the
government as aspaftner into the bust
ness would be to graft upon the road
Improvement system al. manner of ex-
travagance, abuse and mismanage-
ment
Let us use our own efforts, make
what unaided PROGRESSIVE can, and
call upon the federal power for help only
when we have actually demonstrated
ourselves to be unequal to the task.
One mile Of modern highway built by
the people themselves with their own
efforts and at their own cost is worth
more than a hundred miles contrib
uted by paternal government. This
is the lesson of all history, and it is
one that the people of the United
States never needed to learn more
than they do at this moment.
