Satisfaction Of Work.
4 the Indianapolis Journal.

From the Indianapolis Journal.
Too often the worker gets "mere wages"
out of his occupation. and nothing more.
The work itself does not appeal to him or
satisfy him, and, without knowing just
what is wrong, he becomes restless and
ready to join In strikes or other movements
to improve his condition-movements. that,
If successful In one sense. do not give him
what he really needs. Workingmen are
themselves to some degree responsible for
this. Their union rules give no scope for
ambition or the exercise of the highest
skill All are held to monotonous dead
level Of achievement. and the rewards OF
labor that are above and beyond the wages
paid by their employer-the supreme salts
faction of doing their best for their own
sake and the works sakeIis lacking. and
a great incentive thus taken out of life.
Newspaper work may have certain inner
emit peculiarities that give 1t special charm
but any work well done may afford its own
share of satisfaction apart from the mere
wages involved. Money wages are ne
cessity. and in themselves serve as meas
ure of achievement, but there must needs
be more than this IL the worker is to be
content. II man will he can find pleasure
in any honest thing his hands are set to
do but when he Is fortunate enough to
have for his life's occupation the thing
for which he is best adapted and which he
most likes to do, then he is indeed truly
favored by fate. and may well obey the
poets Injunction to those who have found
their work-'Let him seek no greater bless

REPEAL OF AMENDMENT.
President Needham Explains Object of
Columbian University.

Commenting on a statement, made re-
Gently by writer in a religious publica-
ton, criticising the resolutions adopted
by the trustees Of Columbian University,
the purpose of which was to change the
institution from the constitutional con-
troll of the Baptists, President Needham
said that Luther Rice. the founder Of the
university, and his associates provided
that persons of every religious denomina-
ton should be capable Of being elected
trustees and that no person, either presi-
dent, professor. tutor or pupil, should be
refused admittance into the college or
denied any of it's privileges on account of
his sentiments in regard TO religion.
This" he said, was Incorporated in
the original charter of 1921 and Is sup
posed to have been penned by the hand of
Luther Rice, so revered by all who love
Columbian University. The clause which
II is now being sought to repeal was an
amendment to the original charter passed
by Congress in 1898 providing that two
thirds of said trustees and also the presi-
dent Of the university. shall be members
of regular Baptist churches. The admin
istration of the university now believes
that 1t is wiser and broader to return
to the original charter With this in
view a bill has been introduced in Con-
gress to this effect and has already pass
ed the Senate.

OPENING 8 AND T STREETS.
Representative Of Citizens' Associa
ton Given a Hearing.


Representatives of the North Capitol and
lexington Citizens Association were grant,
ed a hearing before the Commissioners at
the District building this morning on the
proposition for opening and T streets be-
tween I'd street and Lincoln avenue east. II
was stated that bill providing for this inn
provement will be presented to>Consress by
the citizens association.
At the close Of the hearing Commissioners
Mcfarland informed the members Of the
association present that when the bill Is re-
ferred to the District authorities for report
they will give 1t the most careful consadera-
ton.
Those representing the association at the
hearing were Irwin B. Linton. former presi-
dent Of the association; DR.. F1Ournoy Meme
fee, Herman e. Blau, J. 8. Potter. John ..
Lane, A. 0. Tingley and Orrin J. Field. Mr..
Blau stated that the only streets affOrding
an outlet to the city from lexington on
the south have been closed and given to the
railroad companies in connection with the
union station work. The closing OF these
streets, he declared, has retarded the devel-
opment of that section to some extent As
compensation for closing up the other
streets and giving them to the railroad
companies Mr.. Blau argued that 8 and T
streets should be opened UP. The streets
closed up. he stated. were paved and i'm
proved at the expense OF the property own
ers in lexington, and 1t seemed only just
that In closing the streets others should be
opened up for the use of the residents In
that part of the city.
DR.. Menefee. stated that the lexington
section of the city has always been over
looked In the matter of improvements. and
he argued that in closing the former streets
for the general good some recompense
should be made to the residents of the
northeast section.
Remarks to the same effect were made by
Mr. Linton, Mr. Potter and Mr.. Lane.

FIJIAN FIRE WALKERS.
Their Feet Not Blistsred by Heat That
Melted Solder.

From the London Standard
Those who witnessed the coronation pro-
cession will doubtless recoilect a small
group of copper-colored soldiers with bare
legs and outstanding hair innocent OF cover
ing. These strange peeple-Fijians-and
their ancient ceremony Of the Vilavilairevo.
or fire walking, were the subject of a paper
read by w. L. Allardyce. c. M. G., at a
meeting of the Royal Colonial Institute yes
terday. Admiral Sir n Bowden- Smith pre-
sided.
The ceremony Of fire walking. Mr.. Altar
dyce explained. Is performed by q certain
tribe at the Island of Bega. and originated
in legend that I'm reward for having
spared the life of a man he had dug out of
the ground. one TUT Qualita was invested
with the power of being able to walk over
red hot stones. without being burned. An
earth oven is made and filled with layers of
wood and stone. In this fire Is kindled
about twelve hours before the fire walking
takes place, and, when the hot stones have
been exposed by brushing away the char
coal. the natives, under the direction of a
master of ceremonies, walk over them bare
footed.
The temperature at the edge of the oven
is about 100 degrees Fahrenheit, while on
one occasion, when a thermometer was sus-
pendeQ over tnc StOIteS, IL ftSlStcTcu -cs uc-
grees and the solder was melted. Yet, stated
Mr.. Allardyce. after the ceremony the ma
tives show no signs of the terrific ordeal
through which they have gone. BY means
of number of views the lecturer gave
realistic idea of the ceremony as performed
nowadays.
Vice Admiral Lewis Beaumont described q
fire walking ceremony as witnessed by him
self. Although those who took part in 1t
showed no signs of discomfort, he remarked
that apparently they did not like it over
much.
Replying to questions Mr.. Allardyce said
the only explanation he could give OF the
apparent immunity from harm following
on the process was that soes of the feet or
the natives were hardened to an unusual
degree through constant walking on
sandy soil covering coral. which became ex-
ceedingly hot under the sun. There was
also the element of absolute belief by the
natives In the legend that they were proof
against fire.

BRYAN IN LOFTY VEIN.

From the New York Tribune Of today.

tics which should work. not for the good of
party but for the upbuilding Of the nation.
For a high standard of morality. personal
and political, he pleaded. Strong in the
faith that his party was the best In the
land. and held the doctrines best for that
land, he wanted SO much the welfare OF
that land. he said. that IL the other party
could give doctrines better than his party.
plans for wiser administration of affairs
than the leaders of his party could. then
would his party not deserve the public re-
spect and the other party should have the
public support.
Broader, more elevated political work he
advocated; work which should make the
two great national parties vie rather In the
love Of their land, and In doing what was
right for 1t, than IN vote getting No great
reform. he declared. could come without an
appeal to the conscience OF the nation. This
appeal he urged the two parties to make,
and on the efficacy of that appeal to rest
their merits. Let them work he urged, to
make the American flag respected over the
world. to make 1t a Implication of the pre-
eminent personal right-a type of the high

The only thing approaching boom was
sprung by Senator McCarren, who an
nounced that he had voted for Mr.. Bryan
on two occasions. and would again IL the
necessity arose. He took some of the bloom
of the rose by declaring that he had done
SO only because Mr.. Bryan happened to be
the candidate of the democratic party.
The reception last night took place In the
large writing room on the main floor of the
Victoria. A little after o'clock Col. Bryan
entered the writing room. escorted by sew
