as good q record It is we'll known that men of
genius in the literary world have hard time gaining
recognition their ideals far in advance Of
cepted standards that they sometimes considered
madmen. When Mr.. Westinghouse invented his
airbrake and tried to solicit funds from Jay Gould
exploit his Invention, the latter informed him that
he was crazy Mr.. Morse had equal difficulty in
convincing skeptcal world of the value of his toy,
as it was called.
Talent, however, has trouble in reaching the
ear of the public. If he should be writer, he can
produce something interesting Treasury Island
or if he is a manufacturer he make incandescent
lamps as good as those made by the genius Of Menlo
Park. They say that genius is born, not made.
This may be true but genius often energies from the
footstool where talent has rested.

II Progressive Union.

II Progressive Union.
ONE of the most progressive labor unions in this
country is that of the International Typographical
Union. At recent convention it was decided to
pension all those members who were over sixty years
old. About five hundred men will be benefited by
this measure, and they will receive four dollars
week. Furthermore, they are permitted to stay in
their homes with their families. This union main
tains printers home at Colorado Springs for the
aged, sick, and incurable and every provision is
made to make them as comfortable as possible.
Every labor union in the country should provide
home of this kind for it's fellow members. It would
be the proudest institution they could boast Of be-
sides which the question of wages is of secondary
Importance. The tendency of the times is toward
old age pensions, and if the unions would establish
precedent it would ultimately the government
to become interested especially in regard to its own
employees Such home as the one at Colorado
Springs costs little to the individual MEMBERS while
the good it does to the ncapactaed workers of the
union, is unreasonable More homes for the aged
and sick and fewer strikes would be good slogan
for unions to adopt

Ec-Pris0 7aers.
JUDGE LANDS has expressed the belief that
after man had served penitentiary sentence, he
had fully paid his debt to society This istrue, at
least it is so in the eyes of the law; therefore, the
thing ought to be true in regard to the opinion
of the world There is no one who holds the law in
greater reverence than Judge Landis and he admits
there has been times nnumerable when certain cases
merited the utmost leniency, and of them dis
missal but judge it was his sworn duty to i'm
pose penitentiary sentence
It will be many years before the opinion of the
world will be tempered toward the ex-prisoner.
Some of them receive hard treatment as could
imagine, but Others who are more Fortunate have
little difficulty in regaining their lost position. The
mayor of Toledo believes that every man who is SEN
fenced to penitentiary, receives life sentence
OF this is rather broad statement, for it is
well known that few accidental criminals continue to
be dishonest after their first conviction These men
succeed in living down the past in spite of their
conviction and the opinion the world holds in respect
to the ex- prisoner
Nowadays there are ten persons where formerly
there were only one who expresses similar views to-
those of Judge Lands, and these men not senti-
mental mollycoddles but shrewd of the business
world. They recognize the fact that if the repent
ant prosecuted too harshly, he will surely
lapse and become an inveterate foe of his fellow
creatures. They also recognize the fact that they
too would cast aside their opinions Of righteousness
and become reckless to events under like provoca-
ton. It is true that there great many pris
oners who, by their acts. deserve watching but
there many who do not, whose every act stamps
them honest and as trying to be right. This is
the kind of man who Judge Lands believes should
be assisted and tolerated

The consensus opinion of men who, in many
instances have served three or four terms, is that
there is absolutely nothing in being dishonest from
q strictly business standpoint The man who gets
the idea into his head that he can be success at
showing" checks, is running up against one Of the
hardest propositions he could tackle They all admit
that the business failure, that the cost great
as to make it decidedly improbable.
Only the other day a man was liberated from this
institution who Immediately arrested at the gate
and the prospects are that he has several ahead
of him before the slate is cleaned, to speak. He
now realizes that passing forged checks is danger
GUS trade; but this knowledge too late, for he
has already passed the meridian of life and may
live to be free man. There are many such TRACE
dies this and the pity of it is they do not the
ptfal they are rushing into until they begin to reap
the whirlwind.
Nowadays, with the improved methods of appre-
bending criminals, it certainly goes hard with a
check passer when he gets behind the bars. If
he has foated good stack of worthless paper and is
known, he surely can figure paying the piper, and
with compound interest, too. Considering the price,
is it any wonder that they say there is nothing in
passing spurious checks?

Silent Treatment
AT THE West Point military academy the cadets
have what is known the silent system for punish
ing fresh chaps who carry tales to their superors
Recently one of the cadets reported very mild
of hazing and he was Immediately treated by pro-
found silence the part of the members of his
mess and those of Others No one will speak word
to him, as they simply detest who plays the
snitch by reporting insignificant incidents.
The silent treatment is not entirely confined to
West Points it exists or less everywhere. Some
times it is unjusy applied, and by rights should be
put in operation against the man who evokes it, es
pecially if he is bully and is trying to intmidate
others. But in the case of the meddesome snitch
who reports garbled conversation for personal adj
vancement, the system is very eficacious. STILL
those who enforce it compelled to punish them
selves for the silence effects them much it does
the offensive person.

Genius Us. Talent.
IT HAS been remarked on several occasions that
the present century possesses very few of genius
but that there are overabundance of persons who
have talent to remarkable degree. Even Ambassa-
dor Bryce has remarked that there today a
paucity of poets who could be considered men Of
genius Men often differ as to what constitutes
genius; and it frequently happens that the honor of
being genius is only conferred after has been
dead half century Poe is conceded to be q
genius because it was he who invented the so.called
detective story; but during life few recognized in his
writings the work of genius.
According to this theory genius is who
originates, who surpasses his contemporaries; while
talent merely consists of being good imitator one
who can keep set of books but who lacks the genius
to improve on the system. The nineteenth century
has been very prolific in the number of geniuses it
has produced in almost every walk Of life Undoubt-
eddy the present century WILL before it's close show
