YOUNG MEN SHOULD LEARN
TO DO SOMETHING

Young men, learn to do something
Learn to do some particular thing.
Learn to acquire thorough know
ledge of some trade, business or pro-
fession. A man who comes to matur-
ity without having learned the art of
practicing some particular employ
ment is in a pitable condition. no
matter whether he possesses money
or not. If he be not among the FORUM
ate few favorites of Plutus he will, of
course, have to toll all the way up to
the summit of fortune as a common
laborer, an employment good enough
as long as one can not do better, but
one should advise no active young
man to choose out of the many. If a
young man has wealth, he certainly
needs knowledge of business suffi-
Gent to enable him to preserve his
wealth Neither would a trade in
jure a rich young man. A little of
the ''brown and brawn," and steadi-
ness of character which labor induces
would make him a better, more re-
liable wielder of capital.
The time has passed when young
men of this country can neglect the
task of learning the details of an oc-
cupation with impunity. When the
country was new and the population
thinly scattered over the land, when
there was plenty of room and privi-
leges were cheap, people could find
employment easily. Skilled labor was
scarce, and rough hewers were IN
plenty. Any one could become an
artisan. Mechanics. especially In the
west, sprang to the journeyman'
position in day.
But that is changing now Popu-
lation is becoming more settled and
dense. Property increases rapidly in
value. Men are becoming rich, and
desire more elegant business houses,
residences, carriages, and artistic ap-
planes of civilization of all kinds
The people demand better public edi-
fees. Mechanics. artists, and all
kinds of skilled labor are in demand
He will win who has his trade best
learned. The man of skill is always
in demand. The young man who
would be sure of employment all the
year around, in hard tines as well
as in times of prosperity, must know
how to do something thoroughly.
1t is well to get an education A
thorough educational discipline will
make you an ADLER man. But edu-
cate for some particular object.

SWEET

A Teddy bear
In a rocking chair,
And garments scattered wide;
And a baby sweet,
With pink, wee feet,
All struggled sleepy-eyed.
The soothing Groom
OF an old time tune,
And rocker S rhythmic squeak,
And a twisted chair
Thrown here and there,
Where babe played hide and seek
Oh, the world is wide,
But the sleepy-eyed
Wee babes with locks of gold
Are better far
Than jewels are,
Or treasure vaults enfold.
And the soothing Groom
OF an old time tune,
That the rocking mother sings,
Falls sweet and clear
On the baby's ear
AS the sweep of an angels wings.

A LESSON IN PLUCK.

1t is not only news that one should
look for in the columns of the news
papers. There are lessons in life
that one may learn by giving a mo-
ment's thought to the items that ap-
pear under headlines in the press.
Such story was printed in this
paper few days ago, and for those
who are of philosophical and OBJ
serving turn, this little story told in
a few paragraphs, carries a deep les
son.
1t was the story of a man past
fifty years of age, who had realized
the need of an education, and fully
realizing that this is the age of spe-
cialists, that it is an age of brains
and training, entered college with the
determination to take a full college
course in order to be better fitted
to fight the battles of life.
This man, according to his instruc-
tors, some of whom are young enough
to be his grandsons, is doing well and
is making splendid progress.
1t is somewhat pathetic picture
to see this old man, with white hair
and stopped shoulders, porting over
the lessons in the books with boys
and youths, yet it is a picture of al
most sublime bravery, and sterling
courage. 1t is lesson that young
men of today, who plead that they
have never had a chance should take |
to their own hearts, and in pure |

shame should never again voice such
sentiment.
When a man past the half century
mark has the courage and good
sense to prepare himself for greater
usefulness at that age, what excuse
is there for the average youth, en-
dowed with health and normal
brain, to go through life insufficiently
equipped in an educational way?

1t seems that Japan has been hav-
ing little race problem of her own.
The details are sparingly given out
by native press that courts con-
sistency. From the sparse news &C
counts and the editorial comments of
some of the Toxic papers, it appears
that the importation of Chinese la
borers to work on a new railroad line
in Kagoshima province has helped to
show the Japanese where the shoe
pinches in San Francisco.
Early in July the contractor to
whom the construction work on the
railroad had been awarded imported
thirty Chinese laborers. The wages
he paid were 10 yen a month-about
S. gold-and that was so per cent
cheaper than the hire of Japanese
laborers. Still the Chinese were sat
isfied and they were good workmen.
So pleased was the Japanese con-
tractor with his experiment that he
sent to China for 100 more, and be-
fore these coolies had landed at Nag
asaki third consignment of 500 was
contracted for with Chinese emigra-
ton companies in Chefoo.
The Mainichi Dempo naively states
that the japanese laborers took great
alarm at the importation of the Chi
nese coolies, who were willing to
work for half what a japanese la
borer demanded. Mass meetings
were held by the citizens of Kago-
shima-ken Ito consider this grave
peril to the laborers of Japan, as
the Mainichi puts it.
But the sentiment of the outraged
laborers of Kagoshima-ken did not
stop at mass meetings. One night in
the latter part of July they posted a
notice written in Chinese on the doors
of the Chinese laborers' huts that if
they didn't stop working in Japanese
mems places they would be driven
back to China.
The local police officials took alarm
at the Indignation of the citizens of
kagoshima-ken and sought advice
from the central government at To-
kio. Toxic, realizing the possiblii-
ties of embarrassment in any overt
act against the Chinese, ordered the
police of Kagoshima-ken to use their
utmost powers to protect the foreign
ers in case of an outbreak and then
summoned the enterprising contrac-
tor to a conference in Toxic.
1t happens that an imperial ordi-
nance, No. 1852, which was promu1-
gated in 1898, forbids the employ
ment of foreign labor in Japan ex-
cept under limited conditions, which
restrict such employment only to the
old treaty ports where foreigners
congregate. The latest papers from
Japan have it that the contractor has
either unconsciously disobeyed this
law or that he intends to force a test
case.-New York Sun.

TIME FOR RADICAL ACTION.

The general vagrancy law of the
state, and the ordinance adopted by
the local city council, which follows
the state law very closely, is strin-
gent, and covers a wide range of Of
lenses and forms of conduct which
can be construed by officers as vag-
rancy.
Under this ordinance there is
scarcely any class OF dissolute or
idle person who can escape if testi-
mony can be adduced to show that
he does not walk the straight and
narrow path; that he does not follow
a legitimate calling; or that he as
sociates with persons of low moral
order.
Under this law, the peace officers
of Ely, supported by the local court
of justice, have the power to rid the
town of the bad and criminally dan
gerous element.
The deplorable tragedy of last Sat
urday night is the elimination of a
series of petty offenses that have not
been properly punished. The hands of
the officers, it is true, have been tied
in a measure by their inability to Sc
cure, or the difficulty in securing
sufficient evidence to cause convic-
ton.
An officer naturally hesitates to
make an arrest unless an offense is
serious. But the offense of associat-
ing with the denizens of the under
world; with people of known disre-
pute; with professional idlers and
hangers on at dance halls-men who
do not earn an honest living-should
be considered sufficient to cause their
arrest, conviction, and the melting out
of heavy penalties in the courts of
justice.
Such an element is demoralizing to
any community. Its fruits are crime
and disorder. Such resorts as the
one in which the crime referred to
was committed are themselves crime
breeders, and should be legislated
out of existence.
Public sentiment has been aroused
to high pitch of indignation by the
murder of Constable Gilbert, and it
is now time for general cleaning
up. The public generally will CO.
operate with, and lend their moral,
physical and financial assistance to
the head of the municipal govern
ment, to the sheriff, and to every
officer who will make an effort to
rid the community of these YAM
pires.
If the present ordinance is not
broad enough in it's scope, the city
council stands ready to make it suffi-
GENTLY sweeping to clear the town
of. this class of men. And the citi-
zens will welcome their efforts to re-
deem the town from the stain that
Constable Gilbert's death has thrown
upon it.
