HOW BUSINESS TRAINING HELPS
Glasses of Persons Who Can Get Most
Benefit Out of systematiEing
Commercial Education,

who ought to have a commercial educa-
tion?" responded the principal of one of
Omahas big commercial colleges in answer
to the question.
There are three classes of persons who
ought to have the advantages afforded by
thorough commercial education First,
those young persons who are obliged to
make their own way in the world; second
those who expect TO go into business for
themselves; third, those who do not expect
to engage in active business pursuits, but
need the training in accuracy facility and
dispatch afforded by a strong course in
business procedure.
ITO the first we would say there are but
two ways of making a living. One must
work either with hands or brain. There is
an over-supply of hand workers The
world needs and demands not more diggers
but more creators. The demand is for
young men and women who can get things
done, and get them done right It may
seem simple matter to transact the
routine business OF an office, but it is
different thing to have such grasp OF the
business as to enable one to understand
It in all its bearings and relations A
business education affords that mental dis
cipline which enables one TO analyze con-
dition and to judge accurately of the value
of a proposition. While It may be possible
TO learn something of business IN an office,
the young person so trained learns not
general business principles, but the partic-
ular business procedure of the one office
in which he is employed It is absolutely
necessary for the person who expects TO
succeed in business today to go into his
work thoroughly prepared to grasp and
comprehend every detail of It. 1t is only
when he is broader than the position he
occupies that the employe may hope TO be
promoted.
"Those persons who expect to go into
business on their own responsibility need
all possible preparation to protect their in
terests. While It may not be necessary
for the employer to keep books, it is neces-
sary for him TO know when his books are
correctly kept. He must be able to analyze
financial statement and to gather such
other information as his books ought to
exhibit. Whether a man expects to be
lawyer a minister, a doctor, an architect
or an artist. he needs the careful training
in accuracy and attention to details that is
afforded by such courses Of study as are
offered by the up-to-date business colleges
today"

Gossip of the Day.
The heat was already almost unendur-
able when the Japanese and Russian pleni-
potentiaries set out for the navy yard about
. O'Clock. The mercury was dancing in the
nineties on the veranda OF the hotel, not
breath Of air was stirring, bay and shore
seemed swoonlng In the tropical atmos-
phere. The foreigners we're fairly over
come. They were mopping their brows as
they appeared. The heat evidently affected
their tempers. The grim, serious business
on hand upon the Issue Of which the whole
world waits breathlessly, seemed to be
temporarily forgotten In the general exc
Grafton Of the weather. M. Witte and Mr.
Takahira, who have suffered particularly
from the unprecedented heat wave which
has held this vaunted summer resort in its
relentless grip for three days, looked most
worn out Baron Komura with Mr.. Taxa
hira and NJ. Witts with Baron Rosen were
taken to the navy yard in automobiles,
while the secretaries and attaches OF the
mission went>over in a launch. The latter
greeted each other on the wharf with
smiles, but there was little cordiality and
no fraternizing. The few remarks ex-
changed were simply the polite amenities
and complaints against the weather.
Strained Attitude Observable.
When they entered the launch they were
perforce compelled to speak to each as they
wero taking their seats, but before the
launch had gone 900 yards the attempt to
keep up conversation ended. Perhaps
among the Russians the reserve was less
noticeable than among the japanese But
there was little to choose between them in
this respect. Their strained attitude to-
ward each other could have been manifest
TO the most Indifferent observer. 1t seemed
a bad augury. II was already well under
stood that Mr. Whites reply upon the two
main points was a firm but courteous re-
fusal The Russians had made no conceal
ment Of that and such indications as came
from their headquarters breathed a spirit
OF implo cable resolution to adhere to tho
refusal. Indeed there were open intimations
that unless the Japanese modified their DO
sitions upon these points the attempt to
negotiate peace must result in failure and
predictions were freely made among the
Russian correspondents that next week
would see the end.
At the same time there was popular i'm
preston, about the hotel that NJ. witte was

more impressive, attitude OF determine ton
was observed. They seem sure OF their DO
sition and their strength The Japanese
acted as II their minds were made up. They
would discuss but could say nothing on
the main points. There seems good war
rant for the statement that two of the
minor conditions were included for the
purpose Of bargaining. But that the others
in substance must stand. In this condition
OF affairs there must be surrender on one

AMERICANS BEING SHOWN"
Members Of Taft Party Now Favor More
Liberal Tariff Laws
GRoSVENoa PREDICTING FREE TRADE
Representative from Kentucky To-
baccO Growing District Says He
Has Nothing 60 Fear from
Island Product.

MANILA Aug. l2.-On the railway trip
north Of Manila, the Taft party will meet
with an ovation at every place where
stop is made. Now that the party has
been on the islands for over a week. a
consensus of opinion Of the majority of its
members on the free admission OF Philip
pine products to the markets OF the United
States has been obtained, and it can be
said without fear of contradiction that the
attitude Of the leaders Of the opposition OF
the policy of a reduction of the tariff on
sugar and tobacco has materially changed.
Representative Hill of Connecticut one
OF the leaders in the opposition to the fur
ther reduction of the tariff on tobacco, de-
clares himself in favor of the free admis-
sion of cigars and tobacco from the islands
into the United States. Senator +. 7. Du-
bois, leader of the opposition to the Cooper
bill in the senate, has stated that he will
not oppose free trade, while other mem
bers, erstwhile of the opposition party,
have convinced themselves that sugar and
tobacco from the islands will in no wise
menace like products of the United States.
Shirley Is Satisfied.
Representative Shirley of Kentucky, from
an American tobacco growing district, says
he will favor the free admission of island
from there will not compete to any appre-
ciable extent with those made in America.
1t can be stated on no less authority
than Representative Grosvenor OF Ohio
that the Cooper bill which was favorably
reported upon by the house committee at
the last session of congress, will now be
amended, providing for free trade, instead
or the proposed reduction of 25 per cent
on the prevailing Dingley rates.
Representative Grosvenor says:
An amePdment will be offered by Rep
resentative Payne of New York, chairman
of the committee on ways and means. pro-
viding for the free admission of Philippine
products, and the outlook for its passage
is very favorable"
Secretary Taft's speech defining the pres
ent status of the islands and the possi-
bility that their independence will be de-
ferred for a generation, at least. and prob
ably longer, has strengthened the admin

are highly gratihed at the attitude taken
by the administration in respect to present

OUR LETTER BOX,

OMAHA, Aug l2.-To the Editor Of The
Bee; Admitting the force Of recent re-
marks Of mine on parks for a future city
OF several hundred thousand population,
H r. b." asking what OF the people
here now" advocates the sale OF Fonta-
nellie park. the proceeds to 20 to the pur-
chase Of a system Of small parks, with
Jefferson Square as a sample, so that the
children Of the poor can enjoy them with
out paying carfare-that IS to say, II un-
derstand II. r. b." he would buy squares
OF ground all over Omaha except in the
western residence district that would be in
walking distance OF the children OF tho
poor. My answer is that such an outlay
would bankrupt the city.
As to what the people have now, they
have HausCom and Riverview well devel-
oped, within easy distance Of the business
centers OF the town, with Miller park a
good second which Is already charming
spot and full Of promise. Elmwood park
is at present inaccessible by cars but thou
sands go there in the season. As to car
fare, all but the abject poor can ride to any
park for a nickel, and the ride is more than
half the pleasure Of the visit to old and
young
And now comes The Bee supporting the
Pl'IbSitlol NlldN fhhNdlellt ana ElnWOOu
shall be sold:
II the Park board has not tho funds to
acquire such grounds Il should be given
authority to sell Fontanelle and Elmwood
parks
Given authority BY whom? What power
can confer it? Is It the city councilr Is It
the legislature or can it be the city coun-
ell and legislature combined? l deny that
either body, or both united, can dlvcst the
people Of the title to their park lands for
any other purpose or sell them, than that
for which they were purchased and dedi-
Gated. II anybody thinks otherwise let
them proceed to sell those park lands,
which it costs nothing to keep and which
belong to all the people in their own in
defeasible right l warn the people Of
Omaha that the purchase Of scores Of small
parks near the centers of Omaha, within
walking distance, so that the poor people
can get to them without Carfare, would
mean great cost In money. II a small park
is bought in one locality demands for parks
from citizens and real estate spectators
would come up from all parts Of the town.
and their decoration would mean a large
and constant outlay for many years

OmciaI Statement by sato.
The official statement regarding this
mornings session was given out by Mr.. Sato
at HIS, accompanying it with the expla-
nation that it was an Official statement
to which both sides had agreed. 1t is
as follows:
In the sitting OF Saturday, August l2,
their excellencies, the plenlpotentlarles Of
Russia, have handed their reply in writing
to the note presented to them on Thursday
by their excellencies, the plcnipotentiaries
Of Japan. 1t has been decided that the
next meeting will take place after the
and studied the reply received, which will
be at o'clock this afternoon, or to-
morrow at the same hour.
The Associated Press is in a position to
state that the Japanese believe the Rus
slams have been laying the foundation for
the claim that the responsibility for a rup-
ture, If one comes, will have been due
to their intransigeant attitude. They have
decided in case of a break to take steps
to disprove any such claim.
When the meeting adjourned the pleni-
potentiaries OF each side retired to their re-
spective private communication rooms. NJ
Witte decided, in view OF the possibility OF
another meeting this afternoon, not to re-
turn to the hotel and telephoned that the
morning newspapers and kilograms that
had arrived for him be sent to the yard
Mr.. Sato and attaches returned in an auto
mobile just as his party sat down to
luncheon.
ST. PETERSBURG, Aug. 12-Dispatches
from Portsmouth make 1t clear that unless
there is very substantial abatement of the
demands Of the japanese plenipotentiaries,
which Is unlikely the peace conference will
come to a sudden conclusion. The two ma
tions are so wide apart that all hope of
agreement has been practically abandoned
here. 1t is probable that the next session
will end in a final adjournment and that
M. Witte may sail for Europe very shortly
Some hope is expressed in the newspa-
pers that the Japanese may withdraw
certain of their stipuations and thus make
further negotiations possible but the unan-
imous editorial opinion is that II the
Japanese do not recede the Portsmouth
conference is at at an, end, for, as one
editor puts 1t. "a nation with 100000 men
In the field facing the enemy cannot treat
on the basis of payment OF indemnity and
