DAY OF THE SPECIALIST.

Is your boy learning to do some
thing useful? Is he mechine,
loafer, or is he preparing to join that
great army that can do things no bet
ter than his fellows? The greatest
problems in nearly all countries at
present is what to do with the unem.
ployed There should be no such
problem in the United States, where
there is land the filling of which will
yield not only competency but wealth.
There is an indisposition to go to the
country, however, hence when indus
trial and commercial depression
comes thousands are thrown on the
streets to implore employment and
exc out a miserable existence as best
they can. 1t was only a few days ago
that a desperate man killed his four
boys and then himself because Meth

the possibility of securing a farm and

plainly demonstrates that the unskill-

and that it is only a question OF time
when he will go on the rocks. The

his individuality. He represents only
so much muscle, and when he works

his employer only knows him by mum
Der. It is impossible that he provide
for his future or his old age. All his
life is a fight for bread, and at the
end of the road stands a poor house
or a suicides grave. There was
never a time when it was so essential
to teach the rising generation to do
something well. to specialize, as now.
Hard times may pinch the skillful
worker, but for the man who doesn't
know, who has not learned, and has
only his uneducated muscle for sale,
they mean tragedy. Beaumonters who
have sons should remember that it is
not infrequent that when thousands
are crying for bread and imploring
employment there is seldom skilled
labor famine. There are those who
contend that trade unionism is a
remedy for these conditions, but they
are partially wrong, especially in this
day. The fact that a man is a mem
Der of a labor organization is no
longer evidence of his competency.
and there is a growing tendency
among trade unionists to minimize
results in exchange for a maximum
salary that is damaging such organi.
cations. Competition in almost every
business not controlled or dominated
by trusts and monopolies has become
so acute in this commercial age that
employers, in self-defense, are forced
to get the greatest output possible in
return for wages paid workmen, and
as result the men who know and
can accomplish much are the ones
whose services are always in demand.
The rising generation should there
fore be taught to do something, do
that something better than anyone
else and at the same time instill into
them an energy which will make their
services valuable Like hive of busy
bees the human family is rapidly
manifesting disposition to drive out
the drones and permit them to exist

than anywhere else in the country?
And the owner of the farm on the
pike road always gets a good deal
more for his land than the man on
the plan dirt road gets. In some
states, as Back Talk has frequently
pointed out, country roads are built
and graveled at the assessed expense
OF the property along these roads.
Bonds are issued so as to make the
payment of the expense easy. When
the first road is projected there is
generally more or less objection from
those affected. but when it is COM
Dleted the objections are turned to
praise and then petitions to have
other roads improved come thick and
fast. In that way whole counties are
made rich. the people are made pros
porous and happy and other people
try to secure homes in the same local
ity. It works the same everywhere.
Any community is standing in its
own light il it is careless about the
condition of the public roads. If they
cannot be macadamized. the split log
drag will help them wonderfully. Try
it.-Fort Worth Record.

The Herald would like very much
to hear of some definite move being
made to organize a campaign for
East Texas. This section needs such
a campaign. Organized effort on the
part Of the commercial bodies of
East Texas could do a wonderful
work. and put this section before the
people of the nation in such way as
to attract attention and eventually
bring hundreds Of people here to find
homes. It is a great work and one
that should receive the thoughtful at
