Didn't 1t sound as though the father
were speaking through the son? To
an eager Sunday school class In Cleve-
land John D. Rockefeller, Jr., said :
You should thank God that you have
to struggle along for your daily bread
and thus avoid the temptations und re-
sponsibilities that the possession of
wealth creates or produces" If the
young and wise Mr.. Rockefeller thinks
poverty is such a blessing why, In the
name Of all the saints at once, doesn't
he try to get rid of the more than Just
proportion of the worlds money which
he possesses? If wealth is such curse
why Is he training himself to add to
the inordinately large holdings of his
family2 The trouble with young Mr..
Rockefeller Is that he Is trying to ape
his father and with long drawn face
and sanctimonious depreciation deride
the possession of wealth while bend-
Ing all his energies to add to his gold
en- store. How does the young Mr..
Rockefeller know it Is more blessed
to be poor than rich? If he imagines
the squalor Of the garret is preferable
to the luxury Of mansion why doesn't
he try 1t for while? If he can find
more Joy in gnawing tough flank steak
than porterhouse smothered with mush-
rooms, why doesn't he order flank steak
from his butcher2 OF all the mushy
talk about the sorrows Of riches and
the joys of poverty the Rockefelcrs
deal out the mushlest. Poverty Is not a
crime and it's long ways from being
a blessing. We are all-that is, If we
are worth the powder to blow us UP
with-striving to escape from it's gaunt
clutches and lay up competence for
old age and for our children. We are
striving to earn little more and save
little more to-day than we did yes
terday. We want our children TO be
better dressed than we were In our
boyhood days. And up and down this
sad old earth there isn't normal man
or woman who would not gladly for
saFe the Rockefeller theory of Joy in
poverty for the temptations and re-
sponsibillties that the possession of
great wealth produces.

Traglcally appropriate as the climax
to year of appalling railroad mortal
ity was the catastrophe of Dec. 80
1906, wherein more than fifty passen
gers were killed. The explanation was
the usual one, with which the travelling
public is expected to be meekly con.
tent. The night was foggy and there
was q mistake In the signals. Hence
the collision. The much praised block
system lends itself too readily to mis-
taken signals, with their grim sequel
Of lives sacrificed. Safeguards that do
not safeguard are coming to be a pref
ty costly and gruesome farce. "Oper-
ating efficiency" is braggart word
with the American railroad magnate,
and 1t is true that, as factories for con-
centrated profits, our railroad systems
have reached wonderful perfection,
equalled only by their achievements
as universal juggernaut, says Ridg-
ways. With grain rotting on the
ground in the Northwest for lack of
shipping facilities, with half a dozen
States freezing for coal while cars for
the carrying of that commodity are
tangled in extricable confusion, with
high railroad officials bawling out ex-
plantations that explain nothing, and
excuses that schoolboy could excel
for inventiyeness with the slaughter of
helpless passengers going on day after
day, the present methods of operation
as devised and controlled by the mas
ter minds" Of rallroading are matter,
not for gloriicatlon, but for mourning
and repentance.

Never In the history of education
was there such frenzy among educa-
tors to add courses of study In the pub
lie schools as to-day. That has had
the natural effect Of physical and men,
tai injury to childhood which It is now
the desire to overcome. Educators
have found that little bodies and little
brains succumh to the strain the theo-
rists have put upon them and the pub
lie school gymnasium is the result.
Children lnstlnctlvely resort to the
kind of physical exercise best suited to
them If they are allowed to play out
In the open air. This Is the very best
bodily training they can have. If the
modern educators would not require so
much home study of the children the
latter would not need physical culture

Dreadful stories are told about the
Czar Nicholas suffering nervous pros
tratlon, but there Is not syllable of
well-authentlcated evidence that the
numerous assasslnations of the Russian
terrorists have amellorated in any way
the condition of the Russian people.
The only effect seems to be the adop-
tion of sterner and still sterner re-
pressive measures. Assassination is
something that people seem to get hab-
ituated to so that they do not mind it.

Veterans Of industry" A pretty
phrase and prettlly employed. 1t is
what the Danes call the old people of

the authorities for help. No shame at

attends the life which follows. Such
a person enters the home as sort of
government pensioner.
