POOR REWARD OF THRIFT
Some Remarks ON the Folly Of
Making Money the sole Ambi-
ton of Life.

In the mere fact that Alpheus Du Bots
of New York accumulated a fortune of
half a million, when his salary as school
principal never was above 5000 a year,
there is nothing mathenlatically extraor-
binary. He merely existed, according to
a rule easily demonstrated by a simple
process in figures, but rule to which
the human creature accommodates with
imperfect zest the ways of living, Du
Bots had his salary for more than half
a century Saving was a mania with him.
He never was touched by the appeal OF
charity He would not buy decent food
or lodging. Luxury In any form was,
of course, unknown to him. Years ago,
to avoid hardships, among these being
reckoned chronic condition of overwork
and hunger. his wife left him The birth
Of her child had by him been regarded as a
calamity, because It made expense inevita-
BILE, and So Kidding himself OF both wife
and child, he gained the privilege Of hoard
ing the cost OF their meager keep.
One inclined to marvel at the size OF
the Du Bots fortune might recall the fact
that saving Of $40 a year. invested at
per cent, will in thirty-fve years be $1,000.
Out of the 5000 salary this miser probably
saved and invested $500 and he had been
doing this for a longer period than the age
attained by the average business man.
Phere was no greater merit In his thrift
than in that of the squirrel which in a
season hides in a tree more nuts than a
squirrel could eat during the time Of its
existence. While engaged in piling up
| money Du Bots got no reward beyond that
which he discerned in the joy of possess
sion. The hungry man obsessed by the
money passion, counts his coin and dies
| clutching it. but would not buy a crust
Nobody cares when such an individual
dies; and Du Bots was almost in the same
class.
The example OF this thrifty pedagoguC
may be followed by such as admire 1t

cent increase in the capital stock OF the

HARDING ON RAILWAY RATES
Vice President of Erie Road Says PLAN
OF President for Regulating
Charges IL Impra cticabIe.

ST. LOUIS, Oct 20.-Russen Harding.
first vice president of the Erie railway, who
in st. Louis declared today that he con-
sidered the proposed regulation of rail-
road rates by the federal government. as
urged by President Roosevelt In his speech
at Raleigh, N. c.. utterly impracticable,
II not really impossible"
Il have read President Roosevelt's speech
very carefully" said Mr.. Harding, land |
cannot find wherein he suggests a feasible
plan for the betterment of railroad rates
or the more equitable adjustment of them"
Mr. Harding said that no doubt the pres
idents ideas were good in theory, but
they would fall short in the matter OF
practical execution
THE government would almost have to
go into the railroad business before II
could attempt to regulate railroad rates, "
he said. How any law can overcome
natural conditions is something l cannot
see.
'It certainly would be a complex thins
for the government TO attempt a regulation
OF all the railroad rates of the United
States"

grandson of the late w. II. Vanderbilt, was

slaughter. On August 2S he was automo-
billing in company with Tom Thorne. race
horse owner and a chauffeur and the car

Ex-Mlnister Poincarre conducted the

audience to such an extent that the presi-
dent of the court threatened to clear the
room,
Witnesses swore that at the time of the
accident the car was travelling eighty miles
an hour, They asserted that the prisoner
was fully aware of the accident, but did
not stop.
Shepard and Thorne testified that the au-
tomobile was going only seventeen miles
an hour. They did not know that an acct
dent had occurred until they read Of it in
the newspapers.

To follow it successfully means to live
without friends or comforts, without any
normal happiness and to pass away leaving
no mourners. NO kindly word is said of
Du Bots, because he never earned the right
to 1t. There is not even the gracious
tendency of goodfellowship to gloss over
his faults. Relatives are at law over the
spells, but the ones who win will feel no
sense of gratitude nor waste time watering
his grave with tears The mans one pur-
pose in life was ignoble, and, while the vir-
tue of thrift is not TO be despised, a world
filled with people of the Du Bots type
would be a sorry place in which to abide

WORK IN SUNDAY SCHOOLS
Convention Of County Association Draws =
Disappointing Attendance
EVENING PROGRAM ATTRACTS MORE
Number Of Instructive Addresses De-
Iivered, omcers Elected During
Day and Musical Features
at Night.

The annual convention of the Sunday
School association Of Pottawattamie
county held yesterday in the First Con-
gregational church did not attract the an
ticipated number Of workers. In fact the
attendance at the morning and afternoon
sessions was decidedly meagre, but the
musical features of the evening session
brought out a larger gathering. although
not nearly what had been hoped for.
The feature Of the morning session was
an address by Rev. Homer w. Starr rec
tor of St. Paul's Episcopal church, on
Sunday School Organization and Manage
ment" Mr. Starr has had wonderful
success in making the Sunday school OF
his church one of the largest in the city
and his address was listened to with much
interest. Rev c. w. Sweet of Des Moines
address was "a Bible Study" and was
built around the story OF the tabernacle.
Al the afternoon session George q. Wall
lace of Omaha addressed the meeting on
How the International Association Work
Benefits the Individual School" Rev F.
A. Case, pastor of the First Baptist church
and Miss Mary Denny also made short
addresses.
The musical program at the evening ses-
sion. under the direction of Mrs Robert
Mulls, was a most pleasing feature. A
chorus composed OF the choirs Of the city
churches, rendered two anthems; Mrs.
| Heapes sang a solo and Mrs. Ward and
| Mrs. Sherman a duet. Twenty-Five chill
dren from the Christian Home sang two
| hymns and recited a psalm in manner
which did credit to their teachers. The
address Of the evening was by Rev. OF
terbein o. Smith, pastor of the First
Congregational church, who took as his
subject THE Christian Sculptor, His
| Ideals, His Tools, His Marble"
At the afternoon session the following
officers were elected for the ensuing

SMITH FAvoRs SPECIAL COURT
Congressman Delivers Address on
Freight Rates.

FFetRhC Hates.
Congressman Walter l. Smith, in an ad-
dress before the Council Bluffs club Thurs
day evening on Railway Rate Regula-
ton" proposed the creation OF a separate
court with exclusive and final jurisdiction
for the determination of railroad rates. The
address, as was to be expected, was most
interesting, but several who had planned
to hear 1t were disappointed, as by some
misunderstanding the janitor of the Car
negie library building, where the meeting
was held, locked the doors shortly after
the commencement OF the meeting and the
late corners were unable to get in. MT.
Smith outlined his plan as follows:
To create a court of transportation 10 be
composed OF nine judges from the various
circuits of the country, one judge to retire
yearly; the court to be a court Of experts,
deVoting their entire time to transporta-
ton cases as readily as they are appealed
from the Interstate Commerce commission.
BY the establishment of such court there
could be solved in a great measure many of
the harrassing evils in connection with rail-
road regulation which exist today.
Mr.. Smith also dwelt at some length on
the evils of the private car and switch
tracks, which, he said, were used by cor
porations which were defying the law by
such means to secure large reductions in
rates.
