that naval recruiting is going on
now. there is a question whether
this can be done in time. Itseems
rather a pity that theyoung men
OF the country do not know What
a career the navy offers to them
if they want to enlist and work
up to the full possibilities of the
service. The pay OF the enlisted
men in the navy is small at the
start, to be sure, but it includes
board and lodging and at t h e
end of the month the enlisted man
IN the navy usually has more
money tran the man who has
been working for day wages on
shore Then there are various
roads to extra money as signal
men, gun pointers and the like,
all of which work pays a bouus
over the regular salary. When a
boy has been through an enlist
ment of three years, he can work
up rapidly if he desires. With an
ordinary education and applca-
tion, it is quite possible for him
to be earning from $50 to $75
a month besides his boa;d, lodg-
ing at the end of ten Years SER
vice, and there is always the GER
tainty Of a life job if he wants it
and a pension at the retirement
age.
With the increase in the use of
electricity and the necessity for
high practical mechanical abili-
ty in many brancqes of the ser
vice, the brighter young men are
often picked out of the navy by
the big corporations at good sal
aries, though not as large, of
course, as some of the officers get
on quitting the service for civil
life. Then there is a chance for a
commission if an enlisted man
wants to work for it as there al e
a regular number open to com
petition each year.
Along with this question OF IL
naval career, it is interesting to
note a case that happened recent
ly in thearmy. There was yonng
fellow, an enlisted man in the Sig
nal Service who has detailed On
work iii connection with the wire
less telegraphy. He had a natu-
raj mechanical and electrical turn
and did excellent work. He was
sent up to Alaska something O.
yer q year ago in connection
with the wireless installatio and
while he was there he was picked
up by one OF the big CONNER
cial electric concerns and is now
drawing a salary of $4,000 per
year. Not very bad as q raise
from an enlisted man at $13 a
month and board.
1t may be noted too in connec-
tion with the army that the late
DR.. James Carroll one of the com
mission that discovered the mos
quito theory of the transmission
of yellow fever, was an enlisted
man in the hospital corps before
he was made a commissioned Of
ficer in recognition of his work
He died with the rank of major.
His was of course an acceptional
case and it may be argued that
a good man is bound to raise
anywhere, but it also speaks well
for the possibilities open to a
bright boy in the army and ma
Wy.

then be a rivalry between the two. with
the advantage In favor Of the natural

can be produced prohtably by most of the
large mines when the market stands at 10
cents. In other words. the laboratory cop
per. assuming that it can actually be
turned out in marketable quantities. must
be produced ut a cost of something Ike 10
cents a round to capture the trade and
leave a profit. It remains now for the
chemists to tell the world whether the ele-
ments used In Sir William Ramsay's ex-
periments are abundant enough to be avail
able at a price which win make this re-
suit possible. The mention Of radium sug-
gests that there may be some doubt on this
score. Meanwhile the mere statement that
an elemental metal such as copper has been
actually synthesized in laboratory is of
sufficient Importance to cause wonderment
without reference TO the possible effect
which this English achievement may have
upon one of the largest mining industries
in the world today.

Kuroki.

In America Gen. Kurold Is among friends
and ardent admirers. His reputation has
preceded him, as he must have found imme-
diately upon landing, and 1t is an assur-
ance of welcome wherever In the country
he may stop. His first thoughts were of
peace between Japan and America, and
his first expressions were Of appreciation
that the recent furry growing out of the
San Francisco episode had passed. This
great soldier comes to US upon a mission of
friendship, and his sojourn should be one
of both profit and pleasure to US. We
should learn, even from meetings which will
be largely ceremonious, matter Of value
from a man who has seen and achieved so
much in a field where we would perfect
ourselves. and certainly the pleasure of his
acquaintance is something no one enjoying

Toilette assist Mr.. Stephenson in the pres
ent contest? They are men Of radically
different equipment. Mr.. La Toilette. what
ever men may think of some of his policies,
Is an intellectual man who by reading and
study has prepared himself for high public
station. He has always commanded aften-
ton in Office and as governor of Wisconsin
administered the peoples affairs very much
for their benefit. On the strength of that
record he is now in the Senate. Mr..
Stephenson is-a millionaire lumberman.
His whole weight in politics, as in bust
ness. Is determined by his wealth. A good
citizen. no doubt, and an honest man. he
would yet in the Senate be classified only
as a rich man.
Mr.. Stephenson's assistance to Mr.. La
Toilette. therefore, was in every way justi-
fed. He had picked as his favorite man
qualified by education and natural endow-
ments for the most important public busi-
ness. But. what reason could Mr.. La Fol-
lette give for electing Mr.. Stephenson to
the Senate but gratitude for assistance re-
ceived In past battles? If the situation at
Madison is in Mr.. La Follette's hands. what
right has he to use so great a prize Tor
such a purpose?

An announcement comes from England
by way Of Baltimore that bears possibili-
ties Of great distress Of mind for large
number Of people who now are holders Of
shares in copper mines In the United
States. This is to the effect that Sir Will
liam Ramsay, the distinguished English
chemist has at last succeeded In produc-
ing copper by a synthetic process in his
laboratory. These are not the days of the
alchemists who sought the secrets Of nature
and the production of the precious metals
by the combination of other elements.
But there Is practically as great a public
faith In the laboratory work Of the modern
wizards as there was many years ago in
the professions of the weird-garbed char
latans who mixed ill-smelffng powders and
produced dense smudges and held people
under the sway of their influence. This is
not to say Sir william Ramsay is of the
tribe of alchemIsts of that ilk. He In too
eminent scientist to be suspected for an
instant of claiming results that he has not
actually achieved. But when he says that
he has produced copper by synthesis It win
be advisable for investors to pause before
selling out their copper holdings and, con-
slider the practical effect of such discov-
cry. For instance. what viii the laboratory
made copper cost a poundf The dis
patches state that the basic elements used

Brother BRYAN and Brother Hearst.

The current issue of the Commoner con-
tains an editorial from which this Is taken:
"Mr. Hearst complains that the demo-
cratic party Is not harmonious. Ihat Is
true But. unfortunately. there IS no
chance of securing absolute harmony In
any party OF any size. If party has as
many as two members. the conservative
and radical elements will appear
In the meantime. democratic papers
should treat Mr. Hearst and the new
marty as an ally rather than as an enemy.
We are going in the same direction even
though we march under different banners
and there ought to he no quarrels SO long
as we are trying to cast out devils al
though we invoke the name of democracy
while Mr.. Hearst and his associates IN
woke the name of Independence League.
Brother Bryan has overlooked one very
important thing and this is that Brother
Hearst has taken the democratic party II
self for a devil and cast it out. He has
described it as being better than the re-
publican party his lifetime aversion and
explained the Independence League on that
account The country must be saved. and
Brother Hearst wants to help. Therefore
he must have an instrument to work with
of which he is certain. Hence the new
party Nothing could be palmer.
How will 1t be possible, then, for Brother
Bryan and Brother Hearst to be allies next
year? If Brother Bryan is nominated by
the democratic party he will stand for the
organization in Its entirety. and so must
share in Brother Hearsts reputation and
denuncatio And If Brother Hearst is
nominated by the Independence League
Brother Bryan will at once that the
action bodies him no good and must with
draw in a spirit of preservation his af-
lection for Brother Hearst. Each. in po-
will devil N ia
eyes of the other. and will have to be cast
out
We in this overture some confirma-
ton of the story that Brother Bryan is
Just little afraid of Brother Hearst. The
BOYS use the word 'leery.H'. But as the
matter is important let us employ the
stronger and more dignifed word. and go
straight to the point. AS the story runs.
Brother Bryan is not at all disturbed by
the talk of a southern man for the nominal
ton. He feels that the south Is still his
friend. and, anyhow. will be regular
next year. The Independence League will
make no Roadway in that quarter But in
other sections the league will count in the
equation. and particularly where both in
1896 and 1900 Brother Bryan was the
favorite.
Here, then. unless Brother Hearst can
be successfully coddled. will lie great
danger. II the league in the old Bryan
strongholds is to draw from the Bryan
forces. low can Brother Bryan hope to
win? Instead of an ally, Brother Hearst
will be enemy. The republican party
will march between the two to an easy vic
tory. 1t is a sweet thing for brothers to
dwell together in unity but, at present. or
In prospect. where is the unity between
Brother Bryan and Brother Hearst?

The Dearth of Cooks.

The wires bring the following suggestive
dispatch from Chicago, that place of con-
tinuous-performanee entertainment:
Mrs. Elinora Lipman, a court stenogra-
pher. demonstrated today that all Chicago
doors open when cook knocks. Mrs. Lip
man is being sued by her landlord. She
believes she has a good defense and that
the testimony of other women in the build
Ing would win her case. But they did not
want to appear. Mrs. Lipman used the
telephone to find IL her neighbors wanted
a cook. They did. Dressed in old clothes
procured for the purpose she obtained
ready admittance to the places desired
and served the subpoenas. And now the
women who must appear In court are re-
Wiling her. -.-~~- 80 '~--.-
as a suggestion of the difficulties thrown
in the way of the server OF subpoenas, it
has its important sociological and Industrial
significance. Why should the doors of
the apartments fly open to the knock of
a cook who Is seeking place? Because,
forsooth, there are fewer cooks than the
demand requires; because. not alone in
Chicago but in practically every other big
city. cooks are at premium. Again. why
Is this? Because competent. honest young
women will not take UP cooking as a busi-
ness, and the cooks in such cities, when not
capable enough to demand high wages and
get them. perhaps becoming objects of COM
petition. are so slack and careless and In
capable and perhaps dishonest that dis
missals are the usual order, and the aver
age term of service is distressingly brief.
Many a young girl might earn a good
living as cook. But very few of them,
especially in this latitude. where the prob
lem Is complicated, will consent to con-
slider adopting a "meniar' role Most
young women prefer to be engaged In
poorly paid clerical work. They will 20
behind counter and do the hardest kind
of work for little if any more money than
they might earn in the kitchen.
The trouble is that there is a suggestion
of social inequality about the word cook
that frightens off most girls from this line
OF activity. We are a democratic people,
we boast. but 1t Is a striking fact that save
IN the rural districts our kitchens are oc-
cupied by the daughters of monarchIcal
countries or the descendants of slaves.
