YOUNG MAN WHO DRINKS.
His Chances Of Employment in the
Business World Are Constant
ly Growing Less.

The time Is coming fast, indeed has
already arrived. in our commercial life.
when young man who has habits OF
intemperanee is narrowing very rap
idly the possible range OF openings in
which he may make a living.
Fifteen years ago, as the trainmaster
on a division on one OF our large rail-
roads in America told me. he sat in his
Office one day and saw a freight train
stand for two hours waiting for a num-
Der OF the train crew TO recover from
intoxication. When they we're able 10
handle the train II moved ont OF the
yard. Now. the trainmaster said n
the brakeman or any OF the train crew
we're found using liquor. or II they
were seen even to enter a saloon. they
we're instantly discharged. The idea
OF keeping a whole train waiting for a
man to recover from drunkenness
would seem perfectly absurd to the
railroad corporations now The time
will come when such an idea viii seem
equally absurd im the ormy.-Hsppy

Japan's wonderful Progress.

Japan is settling down into ways OF
peace, and promises 10 enter upon a
fresh career Of prosperity. In fact.
the war In which she showed such
amazing resourcefulness seems scarce
ly TO have interrupted her material
progress To be sure, she is left with
a big national debt, but already she is
planning to lessen the burden by re-
funding part OF her obligations at low
er interest. and there is no doubt she
will manage TO adjust satisfactorily
her finances. Meanwhile an official
communication received at our state
department is Of interest as showing
how Japan fourished even while she
was having it out with Russia This
statement shows that Japanese exports
amounted TO 125,000.0OO in the first
six months of 1908, TO s137. 100000 in
the first half of 1904 and to $i42. 000.-
900 In the same period this year. Here
was a steady increase all the time ia
pan was lighting. II also appears that
Japans imports showed a decided and
continuous increase, and much Of them
came from the United States. A coun-
try that can carry on war aud business
simultaneously, and make a big sue

Decrease OF IIliteraeH.

Government statistics show that
illiteracy is decreasing at a much
more rapid rate among women than
among men This is cheering news.
When all women are able to read. and
to understand what they read. it will
not be necessary for men TO know how
at all. The women can tell them all
about II. digesting the information
according to its value, and imparting
st to the men at meal times and at
night. The men will then have more
time TO attend to business, and need
not vex their souls about so-called
culture" AS chroniclers OF news and
retailers OF information, women should
particularly shine. IL is their natural
bent And they could keep the books
and attend to correspondence, conserv.
ing the wealth which men created. II
would be a fair division of labor. And
man. not having occasion TO read,
would learn to reflect. and so grow
wise. Woman, possessing a better
moral sense, would impart to him only
such knowledge as would benefit She
would tell him stories with the right
kind OF morals to them. She may even
learn TO tell funny story without for
getting the point Let her continue TO
learn and man continue to forget In
time the blessed day may come when
man OF his ignorance will be happy,
and women, who delight to worry,
will be we'll pleased TO bear the bur
den Of sorrowful wisdom.

a CLEMENS IDEA.

The death of G. c. Clemens recalls
the fact that he was the author OF the
court OF visitation idea which the Pop
ulists enacted into law in a special ses-
sion OF the legislature in 1898 in an at
tempt to cope with the transportation
problem.
Mr.. Clemens, who was at that time
supreme court reporter, got his idea
and the term, court of visitation -
from the old common law of a century
or two ago. He promulgated the idea
in an interview in the State Journal at
a time when other statesmen were seek
ing other means of controlling the rail-
roads. In due time, however, the gen
eraI idea that he had prepared was
adopted by the Populist caucus. but
the measure itself was considera bly,
changed. and the credit for originating
it was given to other parties.
While the law as finally passed was
not as Mr.. Clemens framed it, he be-
lieved it to be entirely constitutional
and he always contended that it would
have been Upheld by the courts had It
been properly defended. He took con
siderable pride in the idea, and it was
a personal sorrow to him when the
courts declared the measure uncon-
stitutional
