THEY sHlRK RESPONSIBILITY.

Every man or concern employing help will reach the conclusion that the fol- lowing editorial from the North Adams Herald just about hits the nail squarely on the head. We reproduce 1t Ill fnl:
 "A local business man was heard the other day bemoaning the fact that the sense of responsibility among young men and also young women, was dying out Many of the young people Of the present. time have no idea of business ethics, and many times act ill a manner opposed to their employers interest. not through disobedience or in contrary spirit, put simply through ignorance of what is due him. Instances are seen Of thls every day, young men leaving their em- blowers without days notice, not be- cause of anger, simply because they can not see that it shows lack of strict sense of honor. Good help IS always In demand, but where an employer nnds one with ambition aud . realizing sense that he who helps the firm best helps himself, he will find many who consider only the pay and the hours, looking Tor the place with the least work and most pay. These are the persons who are unsuccessful in looking for work when hard times come, and who eventually end up in a factory with no chance of advancement or higher salary. Other employees, imagining they are specialists would rather lose their places or see the firm go to smash than help in depart ment other than that they are pleased to call their own. Another type is the one that keepsits eye continually on the clock working only because of necessity, and not with any real interest ill the work itself. And members of this class are those who when late in the morning make it up by going to dinner a little early. They will also be among those ooking for job i'll hard times.
 The young people of these days have plenty of snap. It isn't that they are lacking in spirit. but it is too often mis- applied. Instead of using it to further the interest of their employer, they are using it to protest against fancied i'm positions and injustices, and. as has been stated, their sense of responsibility for the welfare of the business i'll which they are employed, is entirely lacking"
 The Bureau of Information established in the Department of Commerce and Labor ill connection with the Bureau of Immigration is imparting information for the benefit of immigrants to the United States and is to show them where there is demand for their services, what sort of workmen and laborers are required in various states and all other information that will help in distributing the tide of immigration that is now con- gesting our large cities. The replies to inquiries that have so far been received are mostly from the farming region of the northwest. The demand there IS for North European immigrants almost altogether. There are acquisitions for more Danes, Hollanders and Scanda- navians than the whole amount of 1m- migration from these countries to the United States. There have been so far few replies from the south to the re- quests for information and there has been little demand for Italians, Spaniards and the other South European nation nlties that now make up the bulk of our immigrant influx. It is said that the South Europeans make desirable farm laborers for the southern states.
 Representative Longworth, returned from his trip to Hawaii, says the inter view in which he was quoted to have said the President might consent to run again if unanimous call from the peo- ple came, was faked However, that will probably not evoke apologies from the newspapers which have been sting ingly commenting on the printed inter- view as if 1t had been genuine.
 Salisbury has shown the spirit of pro- sressiveness by voting to expend $20, for improving the highways i'll that town from Butchers bridge, near Canaan, to the Sharon line. Road lm- provement IS much needed in that town and the fact that work in that line IS to be begun will be agreeable news to the travelling public.
 It isn't really necessary to have a president, a governor, presidential can didate or any other celebrity OH the grounds to make county fair success. Witness, Great Burlington cattle show.
