We Have Troubles of Our Own.

Ii the average newspaper published
everything that smacks of the sem
sational, or that furnishes food for gos-
sip, that which gives to the world the
typical moods of individuals whose
natures seek revenge at the expense
of the publisher, the pathway of the
editor would indeed be a matted bed
of thorns and the roses along the way
would be as scarce as hentecth. We
would, for the curiosity Of the thing,
like to see some OF the Mrs. Aunty"
running the local newspapers for a
time and laugh at the results.
Petty spite. family quarrels and
troubles, gossipy meddling with COM
munity five brands, do not form a
a basis for news matter and it takes
mighty good judgment for experience
ed editors to keep their fingers out of
the fire at all times. and if revenge
full, crossfired personalities which
stir up luminosity were allowed to
usurp our columns it would be the
first step toward the graveyard.
The editor may tody up the class of
persons who like this class of news
for a decade-say all the nice things
he chooses, make enemies of everyone
clse-and the moment they are crossed
then the last nail has been driven in
to his own coffin. O, no, the editor
runs his paper in accord with his own
judgment, and he knows then he has
at least pleased n person.

Trent. Mr.. Douthitt addressed the
board, stating that Mr.. Trent claimed

The Treasurer claimed that the war

A YOUNG CAPTAIN OF FINANCE. J. Ogden Armour Holds the Grain
 Market in His Hand.

"One man, young, cool, ambitious, re- sourceful, probably the ablest, certainly the most daring manipulator among the captains of finance, is now steering the American Beef Trust straight toward world wide dominion" says Charlest E. Russell in the first article of his series on "The Greatest Trust in the World" Everybody's Magazine for February. His name is J. Ogden Armour, of Chicago. No more extraordinary figure has ever ar arpeared in the world se commercial affairs, no man, not even MT. Rockefeller has conceived a commercial empire so dazzling.
 He holds now in the hollow of one hand the grain market of the United States. He can make or effect the price of any cereal, of any provision dealt in by the Chicago board of trade. Through the Beef Trust. the private car, the Big Pis- tol, he and his associates are factors in the markets for meats of all kinds and for most kinds of produce. His possible profits seem limited for the future chiefly by his will. No reason appears why he should not amass in few years the most colossal fortune in the world, why he should not gather to himself such a pow CT as no other man has ever had; for who has ever controlled the food sup plies of one hundred million people.

A NEEDED REFORM
BY PHlNEAS FLETCHER.

and perhaps 1t is not. But it is to the interest of every man and every woman to see to it that good manners are main tained. By good manners one does not mean stiff dignity that carries with it discomfort, for pleasure and good manners are charming companions, going well to- gethcr in any person. Books on etiquette as a rule are collections of rubbish, Tit oEly for the waste basket but there is a dignity and repose of manner that does rot need buffoonery or pomposty to make or unmake it.
 There are hundreds of men who iIl- agine that an invitation to a large social function is a license to indulge in tre- mendous quantity of champagne, and men of this type are the ones who can not take glass of wine decently. If all men drank decenty there would be no argument left for the temperance crank, but the trouble is that the men who could drink dccently do not drink and the other make themselves conspicuous and disgusting What society needs most is hosts and hostesses who will throw aside policy and omit the names of of- lenders from future entertainments.
 The drunken member of society is no more offensive than the greedy guest A writer for the society columns describes  some of the big houses this season as rougher than the crush at Brooklyn bridge on busy afternoon. Another de- scribes it as worse than the rush of gang of ward heelers at a political din- ner. The loud talking among the guests at musicales and entering and leaving the room while q artist Is performing could be stopped and the hostess would not lose anything by firm but courteous handling of such offenders.
 It has been remarked also that no per son is obliged to entertain, as there sare many persons whose position is not de- pendent upon it. and it must be said to the credit of many of the best families in the 300 of New rk that they have grown tired of such offenders. Some of them are leaving perso- off their lists who have been lacking in these respects and others have decided that they will not open their houses Tor large entertain ments Society is the loser and 1t Is time that society took hold os the offenders. and taught them few lessons in eour- tesy or dropped them entirely.

It has been said that it requires three generations to make a gentleman, and this has been amended by requiring four generations to develop a cad There may be no great amount of truth in either statement, but one thing is true, and that is there is entirely too much rudeness developed at the social affairs of today.
 Some of the older ad more dignihed men are asking If courtesy is disappearing entirely and if the lack of respect shown to hosts and hostesses Is any evidence there Is something more than captions criticism in the question. The average young man of the present day who goes into society has no right to be as bereft of good manners as he too frequently shows himself And the lack of manners Is not always confined 10 the young, as offenders of this type are ot infFe1nent among the gentler sex.
 It is not an easy matter to analyze the situation It's origin is in doubt, for the offenders In many of the most appalling cases are not from tEe nouvcau riche or the social upstart. but from the seiens of families that have been on the social calendar for many generations. In fact froni reasons of policy, if for no better cause. the young man whose position is at all uncertain is seldom an offender. Society has always been aient with the well-born and overooxs in them offehses that would be unpardonable in another, yet the offense is not lessened and the well-born offender, who rarely shows con- triton or improvement, Is permitted to continue unrcstrained and grows more and more offensive as his years increase.
 Persons who are not ''in society can rot understand how certain things are permitted to continue among those in so- ciety that would not be eountenenced for a moment in the household of an honest self-respecting workngman: There are many of the doings of society that are criticised but all of them are not of- lenses of the type that would be con sidered disgraceful by the man in the number position They arc the foolish, silly things that are done to provide amusement and occupation. Things of this type are not offenses against decencY or good morals they are foolish, per haps but they do not cause degeneration, and some people are more easily amused than others.
 It is useless to rail at the excessive drinking hat Is permitted in society. Rail ing does no good, and the assertion of in- dependence is that it is nobody's business
