WHEN Benjamin Franklin opened his first print
ing shop he compelled to go to Englandfor type,
and to learn how the business was conducted. This
also was the case in many other things. A trip to
England always necessary, as her ways of doing
things were considered the best and studiously
followed by the architect, the manufacturer and the
embryo business man.
At the present time, however conditions re-
versed. If England wants to adopt modern methods
she sends representatives to this country to
the situation. America has taken the lead in all
lines of endeavor, and today England cannot hope to
compete with us with her Anticipated methods of do
ing business.
Since John Howard revolutionized her penal sys-
tenn, England always considered far ahead ofany
other country in the world in penal matters. Her
tcketof leave system and good conduct earnings ell
evated the prisoners from brutes to orderly hope
full beings But it seems that have surpassed
England even in prison reforms. Today she sends
her representatives to Emire to learn it's methods in
order to inaugurate similarsystem Notwithstand-
ing this patterning of methods by Europeans,
there any number of foreigners who critlcise
ways of doing things. Perhaps these critics are
right and that England is placing systems in her
museum.

Our Great .POci71cntOr.

In coNFERRING the Nobel peace award upon
President Roosevelt the committee in charge of this
fund paid excellent tribute to the occupant of the
White House. The part he took in ending the war
between Russia and Japan, is well known to the
world It is likely that these countries would have
been at war yet if it not for his activities and
resourcefuness in suggesting alternatives Eventhe
rulers abroad believe that the recipient of this hand
some prize deserved the honor, aa each of them
warmly congratulated the president at the time the
gift was presented
Considering that the president was SO success
full in the pe}t in preserving peace, it would seem

that he could easily end the "war" between himself
and the Storers But if this "war' must go on, the
Nobel award of forty thousand dollars will hepsome

Generous Employers.

Generous Employers.
The bankers and business of Wall Street
we're unusually liberal with their employees on
Christmas Day. Many of the firms gave their men
from to fifteen per cent of the amount of their
salaries. No doubt such generosity pays better in
good service than if the men went unrewarded.
Last year j. P. Morgan & Co., gave it's entire
staff checks equal to their years salary. Such
Christmas presents not surpassed by kings OF
course are the exception,
many other employers who played Santa Claus to
their employees. Altho the gifts were small, they
were appreciated by those who received them. It is
true that these are being paid to do certain
amount of work each day, and therefore need look
for bonuses. But it is good policy to be liberal
once in while Perhaps Mr.. Morgan has found
this true and that is why he is kind on Christ
mas Day.

 1t is not surprising that under these conditions the Frenchman's card play ing rarely strays beyond anything more desperate than Q sober rnanine for petty stakes and that his playing of the races is not highly dangerous as a rule. Even his stock gambling opera tions are likely to be relatively innocu- ous, because he devotes to them only as much of the family surplus as mad anne permits.
 As compared with the American wo- man the French woman has no rights to speak of under the law In money matters, as In most other matters, she owes Implicit obedience to her spouse; and yet by her sheer woman's wit and tact she rises superior to statutes and .contrives to make him obedient in money matters and in most other mat

TRUTH ABOUT FRENCH WOMEN.
Charming, Clever, Good Dressers, Good
 Cooks Good Managers

Charming, Clever Good Dressers, Good
 Cooks, Good Managers.
 The charm the French woman has been proverbial for many centuries, but 1t has rarely been recognized by a foreigner without being coupled with an ungallant insinuation that she is as frivolous as she Is charming.
 As a matter of fact, says a writer in the Independent, she is as capable as she is charming, and all things consid- cred the most practical woman in the world.
 She was a business woman ages be- fore 1t became the fashion to talk about the enlargement of woman's sphere For generations she has en- gagged in trading of every sort, either in real partnership with her husband or independently.
 The capacity of the woman cultiva- tors and dairywomen also from one end of France to the other Is the best pos sible illustration of the difference be- tween true intelligence and the smat- tering of book knowledge.
 The mother of President loubet Who managed the home farm at Mareanne un in the time of her death at ninety or thereabouts, may have been able to read and write but if she was able she was an exception to the run of French women farmers, of which she was in most other respects the perfect type.
 The French woman almost invariably brings something Gin household goods, if not in money) to the common stock at marriage, and she can be counted or doing her share toward adding to this common stock after marriage
 In all the classes she is pretty sure to insist on running the family finances and she justifies her insistence by her ability to run them as they should be ruE.

tion "a political issue" The committee regards this as most reprehensible That the Republican organization should be defeated upon an issue thus unforeseen would be "deplorable." It therefore appeals to the people not to be influenced by any such consideration as the surreptitions expenditure of a trife of s9,OOO,O0O by a Republican Governor and Auditor General under the authority of Republican Legisla- ture, They are asked to 'hold fastl that which Is god"--however expensive and to elect another Governor and Auditor General and another Legisla- ture selected by the same organization, and trust them not to do any more.
 The plteousness of this appeal does not mitigate its absurdity. We are asked to express no opinion upon this monumental extravaganza, but to give a vote of renewed confidence to those responsible for 1t, on the promise that a new organization. Legislature will "investigate' and that the law under which $9,00O,000 has been secretly ex- pended shall be "amended or repealed" exposure having made its further ope- ration impracticablc
 We should never have had this expo- sure if we had not elected an opposi tion state treasurer.

 It has been a continuing organization job, of which these Furnishing" con- tracts are but the continuation. Cover nor Pennypacker's part in it only H- lustrates the insufIiciency of merely changing men while the system that controls them goes on unhindered. If Pennypacker could spend all these mill lions of public money without anybody knowing it, how many millions have been similarly spent on less responsible authority2
 To ask the people of Pennsylvania to "hoId fast" to such a system as this upon whatever pretext, is to insult their intelligence. They have been hoodwiked long enough.

 A flint between two Italians occurred near the corner of State and Chapel streets about. o'clock yesterday after noon and both were arrested hy Patrol man Watrous.
