Some notable changes in social con-
ditions may be noted in the study Of
prospective renters at any real estate
Office these days. 1t Is no longer the
mechanical tradesman who Is seeking
the cheapest accommodations. One
renting agent said to me few days
ago that he had that day rented IS fats
ranging in price from $50 to $45 month
Aly, and that IL out of the Is were
rented to men engaged in the mechani-
cal trades. This man represents prop
erty in the Hyde Park district, suppos-
of the city.
At the same time he said to me that
he was finding far more difficulty in
renewing leases at the advanced rate
among the clerical classes than he was
with the skilled labor classes. Tha.
the Office and bank clerk, the men oc-
cupying semi-responsible clerical posi-
tons, were moving out Of the neigh
borhood in their effort to find homes
within their reach, and their places
were being filed by ironworkers, car
penters, painters, engravers, printers,
and the mechanical tadesmen in gen.
eral. He said also that he had found
the latter class better paying tenants
from the standpoint of promptness
than he had the clerks.
Five years ago the landlord looked
askance at the carpenter or other
tradesman, and caught eagerly at the
bank clerk as a tenant

Russian HONeStU.

In BENIGHTED Russia graft stalks abroad un-
blushingly Heretofore this trait was considered
peculiarly adapted to the American temperament
But it now appears that America has monopoly on
graft. The Russians are adopts at working smooth
transactions This is strikingly true of the nobility
When a rich manufacturer of Moscow was asked to
make an additional contribution to the war fund.- he
refused to do so. His Highness, Grand Duke Serge,
demanded his reasons for refusing It seems that
the merchant had contributed one million roubes
worth of cloth for the army. Later this same
CLOTH instead Of being used for the soldiers at the
'front.' was being sold by the shopkeepers Of Moscow
This patriotic gentleman informed the Grand
Duke that if he made any further contribution, he
wanted to be assured that it would be used for the
purpose intended This caused the duke to lose his
selfc control. He Immediately demanded an apology
or the gentleman could take his passports He &C
ceped the latter and closed his shops thus throwing
sixty-fve thousand men out of employment. At this
stage the government interfered. The order was
withdrawn.
Is this fair sample of Russia's honesty? Is it
customary in Russia to compel the people to con-
tribute to the war fund? Is it customary to punish
honesty when protests against being robbed? This
Moscow merchant should be honored for refusing to
apologize to this inferior type Of manhood who is
temporarily called Grand Duke. No wonder Russian
history is long series of dupicty when the high
est government officials exile and punish those
who demand a square deal. It is the practice of
such low ideals that the civilized world to
pray for japanese success

What is o. Gentleman?

SINCE President Eliot OF Harvard University,
delivered a lecture on "What is Gentleman a
great deal has been said and written about this sub
ject. One of philosophers uses this elegant
phrase in expressing his idea to what constitutes
a gentleman: "a gentleman is knight whose armor
is honor and whose lance IS courtesy" That pro-
found thinker and brilliant writer of essays Ralph
Waldo Emerson says, "a man Of good breeding,
courtesy, and kindness; hence, man distinguished
for fine Of honor strict regard for his obliga-
tons and consideration for the rights and feelings of
Others The gentleman is man of truth lord of his
own actions and expressing that lorship in his be-
havior"
[ think all will agree that Emerson is right. A
few perhaps, will differ with him. We all know
that there are many who call themselves gentlemen.
Their conduct however, does not bear out the con-
clusion. 1t is easy for man to fatter himself by
saying he is a gentleman. No matter whether he
possesses all the minor vices not it tckles his
vanity to be designated gentleman. It is term
that is much abused Those who have the honored
right to this proud title usually the ones who
never effront good breeding and good manners by
proclaimng the fact to their friends or their chance
acquaintance. The chap who cheats his fellows
the bum and bootblack; the gambler and CRATER all
loudly insist that they are gentlemen among friends
Rather anomalous, is 1t not? According to Emer-
son, these fellows have right to call them
selves gentlemen than hardware man has the right
to call joint of sovepipe garden hose. President
Eliots address rather timely. Undoubtedly ii
will be the means of readjusting many youths con-
ceptlon to what constitutes gentleman.

AFTER reading accounts anent the marvellous
achievements of Miss Helen Keller, the wonderful
blind deaf and (until recently dumb girl, we are
forcby awed at the powers of the human intei-
gence. But more SO in deep admiration of the
unremitting efforts and resoluteness of Miss Kel-
Ter in her search for knowledge, that has made her
peer in intellectually to those whom nature has not
handicapped The whole country honors her. She
has been granted day at the exposition in ST. Louis
distinction that has been accorded to no other in
divdual. Not because she is Helen Keller; not be-
cause nature has been unknd to her. but because Of
her energy IN endeavoring to secure an education
under the most adverse conditions that could befall
a human being. And she has succeeded. Her ac-
complishments almost border on the miraculous.
We who are endowed with all the faculties that the
law Of nature allows, scarcely understand much
less appreciate the great handicap under which Miss
Keller has abored to secure her learning, which
brought to her college degree. Until lately dumb,
she has now become possessed Of speech and is able
to talk in we'll modulated voice. Having never
seen the light of day heard the sound of human
voice-not even her own-she can now speak with
an almost perfect articulation Marvellous? Well,
almost Miss Keller has, more than any other living
person. demonstrated to what possibilities the human
mind is capable. Some has suggested that a
monument be erected to perpetuate her memory.
Let the good work be realized. She deserves it.

WE HAVE learned through letter from Pacific
coast friend, that agent of the Japanese govern
ment is employing machinists in the West for service
in Japan. According to information, which is
reliable the contract calls for term of three years
at high wages, and with all expenses paid We are
unable to state whether such recruiting, if brought
to the attention of the authorities would be consd-
cred breach Of neutrality not; but it appears to
that if the employer could be conclusvely proven
an agent of Japan, the United States government
would be compelled to interfere. However, in view
of the fact that torpedo boats are being sold and
shipped to both Russia and Japan by American
builders without interference, it seems improbable
that the enlistment of few machnsts will cause any
decisive action to be taken.

CONSIDERING that the Russian commander Of

less fishing vessels, what is going to happen when
he meets japanese warships? The officials at Toxic
