is not a religion, but a system of wor-
ship in which the deification of heroes,
emperOrs, family ancestors and forces
Of nature play an important part. It

no moral code. 1t sums up its theory
OF human duty in the following In

A ShintO temple is usually a simple
building in front of which, at a little
distance, is set an arch. There are
no idols, but strips of paper hanging
from a wand are used as emblems Of
Shinto. The ordinary form Of worship
consists of washing the face or hands,
or both, with holy water, of ringing a
bell or slapping the hands to call the
gods attention; of casting in coin as
an Offering; of standing with clasped
hands during a short prayer and Of
making a farewell bow.
Efforts have been made to have
ShintOism made the state religion of
Japan, but these have failed. Shinto
affairs have been entirely secularized
since 1868 and set apart under a
bureau Of shrines, this being regarded
as the final step in the disestablish-
ment of this system of worship.

johnson Resigns From Fish Board.

johnson Resigns From Fish Board.
Percy H. Johnson, State Fish and
Game Commissioner, pursuant to the
request Of Governor Stokes, has handed
his resignation to the Governor. Gov
ernor Stokes asked for the resignation
because of the alleged graft and other
crooked work of johnson as shown by
the testimony before the Assembly in
vestigating committee. The resigna-
tion takes effect Immediately. Mr..
Johnson's letter Of resignation was an
attempt to justify his actions in con-
nection with his work as Commission
err. In it he said that inasmuch as
the friction in the Commission had
been almost unbearable, he felt pleas
ure in getting out of it. He claims
that the antagonistic attitude to-
wards him by his colleagues, Commits
sioners Mcclellan and Morris, was due
to the zealousness he had displayed in
prosecuting violators of the fish and
game laws and asserts that he had on
numerous occasions been called to
task for this by the other Commits
sioners, on the ground that such work
was beneath the dignity of Commits
sioner. Mr.. johnson refers to :" the
ingratitude of certain wardens, who,
under the guise of friendship had been
seeking to prosecute him." He de-
clared that he had received numerous
letters from sportsmen throughout
the State, complimenting him upon
his activity in fish and game matters,
and concludes by stating that he feels
that he has, during his entire connec-
tion with the board, fulfilled the
duties of the office in manner to de-
fy criticism.

Unwise Unions.
EDrToR OF THE CHRONICLE:

Dear sir
Collective bargaining is wise and
proper; but do our unions go about it
in the right way? For example, SO
long as agreements are not broken
their members have perfect right to
work for whom they like; but when
through intimidation they deprivei
others of that right are they not as
unWiSe as unfair"
The fault seems to be that in both
their internal and external activities
they make their ruling principle, at
bottom, "brute force ?'' A remedy
would be to do away with brute force
in its "cloSed shop" and worse forms,
and worse forms, and, instead, to sub
Stitute 'self-interest."
The first union that has the enlight-
ened selfishnesS to put it's leadership
in tile hands of it's lest men; to seper-
ate its memt orS into grades according
to experience and efficiency, with cor
responding rates of pay; and to strive
as one man to have their collective
work known as t3tter and more eco
nomical than the work of anybody
else-Will command relatively higher
rates than anybody else and so within
a reasonable time will swallow up all
the other unions.
From motives of self-interest Gus
toners would insist on a clause in the
contracts, work to be done by mem
berS of the 49, UniOn.n Consequent
ly, from motives Of self-interest. to be
in readiness for the demand, employers
would prefer to deal with such mem
bers. From motives of self-interest,
also, good workmen would welcome 1t
as a relief from their present slavery
to the less efficient members of their
unions. Left in the skeletons of the
unwiSe unions, from motives OF self
interest, the less efficient would seek
by improving themselves to become
worthy of admittance to their fair
share of the prosperity of the model
union.

The New York Tribune says :
(" Rumor says that the Lackawanna
railroad company will introduce
wireless telephones on it's ferryboats
for the accommodation of such pas
sengers as may be willing to pay for
using the apparatus. Without ex-
plicit information it is hard to say
which of half dozen possibilities in
spired the project. The superstition
that the company forsees fresh delays
in traffic during the next few weeks
from the presence of ice in the river is
plausible, no doubt, but should not be
accepted hastily"

Letter to WI. r. Haven.
Morristown, N. J.

Dear Sir: We should like to set your
boys and girls at work on this question
in arithmetic and caSuiStry.
A farmer is fatting three hogs in
three small pens; they have equal room
and straw and care, and are fed in
these three ways: first hog, on a GER
tain proportion OF milk and cooked
corn meal {; second hog. on the same,
half water; third hog. on the same,
half water and sawduSt. How long
will it take, how much will they weigh,
how much will they cost, and what'll
the profit be on the three?
And similar question in pigment
ry. That same farmer is going to paint
three barns same size and he says to
three painters 'what'll you take to
paint that barn ~
First painter scratches his head a
few minutes and says: I'll do it for
$50.
Second painter S75."
Third painter $97 AS"
Win they each get barn to paint
or one get two, orUne all three, or no.
body any and what'll they make on
the job?
That's about how painting goes
sometimes.
But there is way to reckon: S. a
gallon. The difficulty is in knowing
how many gallons to buy. There's a
way out Of THAT.
Buy the designations paint, Devoe &
Reynolds. No matter how much one
buys; he returns what's Left costs
nothing.
