AS Russell Sage Is regarded all over
this country as parsimoniOus man
from whom nobody ever expected
generous, sympathetic or humane SEN
timent to proceed, his article in the
Independent on 1.-The Injustice of Va
cations" will probably excite no feel
ing but resentment and contempt, and
still 1t contains just enough truth to
keep 1t from being absurd. Mr.. Sage's
indictment against 1.-The vacation hab-
it, when analysed contains three
counts. In the first place, he thinks
a vacation Is an outrage on the legal
rights OF the employer. In>the second
place, he contends that vacation in
stead of being recuperative process
depletes mans vitality, wastes his
money and returns him to his work
less valuable employe than he was be-
fore. In the third place, he charges
that 1t betrays a want of business am
billion. In regard to the first objection
1t may be freely admitted, as Mr.. Sage
says, that there Is no more Justice In
an employee being paid for two weeks
without working than there would be
in his working two weeks without pay,
but that Is not fair statement Of the
case. The presumption is that the
employees pay is adjusted to the vaca-
ton habit That this Is SO is proved
by the fact that vacations are not
granted until employees have been a
year in their positions. The second
objection-that vacations do people
more harm than good-has just grain
of truth in 1t. There Is no doubt that
number of people return from their
vacations not only worn out but dis
gusted and deeply impressed that they
will never take anOtuer. Strange to
say, however, there are people in good
circumstances who have money enough
to pass the summer anywhere they
please. With poor people the effect Of
the vacation is just the opposite. The
hardworked clerk and the physical
toiler returns from his outing boasting
aloud Of his diversions and his i'm
proved health. That he Is worth less
to his employer than he was before his
| vacation cannot be true. Certainly
employers do not seem to think 80.
In the third place, Mr.. Sage thinks
that If a young man has the proper
ambition to be a good workman and to
rise in his business he will be too much
in love with the workshop or the store
to leave 1t for a vacation. He backs 1t
up with his own example and says he
has never taken a days vacation In
eighty-three years. This Is the same
as to say that If a man has a proper
devotion to his business he will put
every rule Of health at defiance and do
the best he can to work himself to
death. Nobody thinks this except Mr..
Sage. AS general thing the Ameri-
can people work too hard and take too
little rest and recreation. To Euro
peans they appear to be business mad
and our own physicians are all agreed
| that this incessant activity has made
nervous prostratlon a distinctively
American disease. They say we need
shorter hours and more holidays, and
probably they are right about it. Still
everyone will agree with Mr.. Sage
that there is a good deal of humbug
about vacations, especially among well,
to- do people.

A SPRING SONG.
When Love comes to my garden
He walks with dainty tread,

When Love comes to my garden
He walks with dainty tread,
The lilies blaze before him,
The moss-rose lifts it's head;
The trim-kept lawns grow greener,
The borders blush with pride,
The buds burst into blossom
When Love walks by my side.
When Love leaves my sad garden
The roses petals fall,
The jasmine's scented clusters
Fade, dying, on the wall;
The lawns grow dock and thistle,
The paths are rank with weeds,
And all the dainty borders
Are strewn with fallen seeds.
Sweet Love, stay in my garden,
Rest in its rosy shades,
Bask in It's scented sunshine,
Dream in its leafy glades;
Sing to the strings of pleasure,
Through all life's penilune;
Make every season summer,
Let every month be June.

nation If He Fails to Land SenatorShip.

The Senatorial contest in Annapolis
is serving to attract national attention
again TO the Hon. Isidor Rayner, who
has from the beginning of the voting
led the list of candidates who aspire
to succeed Senator McComas Mr.. Ray
ner's defense of Rear Admiral Schley
in the famous court of inquiry gave
him national reputation. and now
the talk among a number OF Democrats
is that in case Mr.. Rayner should be
beaten out i'm his race for the Senate
no better candidate could be found
anywhere than he to nominate for the
Vice Presidency.
Just why Mr.. Rayner should be picked
out for second place rather than rirst
place, If he is to be selected at all to
run or the national ticket, is not en-
tirely clear, but II seems 10 be taken
for granted that Mr.. Rayner is not an
aspirant for the Presidency. His pres
ent overpow ering ambition is to come to
the Senate, and while he has a good
Chance of realizing it, che has many

Palmer and Buckner, would bar him
from consideration in the minds. not
only OF the ardent Bryan Democrats,
but, in fact, a large number of others
who believe that the candidate of the
party this year should be a man who
at least tacitly supported the ticket in
the last two campaigns.
Missouri started out a year ago with
a half dozen candidates morS or less
for the Presidency, which II held up TO
the Democracy of the nation and asked
that a selection be made from among
them. The Democracy has not indicat-
cd any intention of doing anything more
than TO hold its convention in Missouri,
believing that Missouri is a safe enough
Democratic State anyway, and Will
name a candidate from some other sec
ton.
Accordingly. the Missouri Democracy
has united upon Senator Cockrell and
will present his name to the conven-
ton, giving him a complimentary vote.

Francis in determining his announce
ment that he is not a candidate for the
nomination, but 1t is quite likely that
