Chicago, Dec. "A mass meeting
Of western passenger men has been
called in Chicago for next Thursday
to discuss the proposition of abolish.
ing or consolidating all western pas

1t is understood that the majority
favors retaining one association, to
which shall be given all the work
which is now done by thres associa-
tions, namely; The Western, Trans
continental and Southwestern Passen-
ger associations.
The consolidation of the three asso-

would, it is stated, greatly facilitate
the transaction of business.
The chairmen of the associations
are J. +. Hannegan, E. f. Macleod

Budapest. Dec. THE Nap. a

a sensational story to the effect that
an anarchist plot upon the lives Of
Emperor Francis Joseph and Arch
duke Francis Ferdinand the heir to

story would appear to be founded on
the fact that 70 Hungarian police
were informed recently that four
we'll known anarchists had left Gene
VA for Hungary with the object OF
making AL attempt on the life OF
Francis Ferdinand. The police were
instructed to watch the froutier

classes. which, in the South, are al
most entirely composed of negroes,
have been actually injurious, Their
wages have been so high that they
have been able to live, after their ac-
customed manner, upon the earnings
of a few days in the week, and the
rest of the time they have generally
stopped work and spent the time in
idleness. They have accumulated no
thing. The effect of this period of
great prosperity has been merely to
lessen the days of work and inculcate
habits of idleness and thriftlessness.
At the same time there has been such
a demand for this labor by railroads,
mining enterprises and all sorts of
construction work that they have
been able to control the situation, and
to do as little as they pleased and
demand as much as. they chose.
This shows what can be said of a
prosperity which has seemed nothing
but golden to the general eye. Per-
haps it will do no harm to have II
looked at by one critical eye.

who seeks, not an education but a
degree for its social value. Chancellor
McCracken would have them weeded
out but he fails to indicate how that
is to be done without inviting unfore-
seen trouble. Standards of scholar
ship cannot be altogether arbitrarily
determined upon and it is only by
making the standards high that auto
matically undesirable undergraduates
are weeded out. Yale makes the I'M
dergraduate work for his degree but
even democratic Yale cannot rid itself
of men who are obviously only serious
enough in their work to escape drop
ping. It is a good thing however
that the question has been raised Of
the danger line as it affects the gift
and receipt of money from tainted
sources. 1t is not SO much of an
academic question as 1t once seemed.
1t is human question and must be so
considered.

It is now figured that the army of

MONEY IN LITERATURE.

1t was always inconvenient for the
literary man to be poor, but 1t was not
considered disgrace. 1t was ex-
pected. Now literary man who is
poor is not looked on exactly as he
would have been two hundred years
ago. One Of the reasons for the
change is that literary men can now
make money and often do. 1t is re-
corded that David Christie Murray, the
novelist who has just died in Eng
land, made money by his novels. His
first novel; published in 1880, was
called "A Life's Atonement"; his last,
"Despair's Last Journey" published
in 1901. Between those two he turn
ed out a novel a year, sometimes
more, and innumerable short stories
and articles. In a lawsuit a few
years ago he testified that at his best
period Of novel writing he earned $12,-
500 year, and he admitted that af-
ter earning this for fifteen or twenty
years his income had dropped to
about $4,000 a year.
OF course it can be argued that Mr.

THE AUTO OUTING.

Generous owners of automobiles have
again made It possible for The Journal
and Courier to give its orphan friends
an outing and other generous friends
have made It possible to give them a
touch of the light entertainment which
is SO easily within the reach OF more
fortunate children. Two weeks ago the
inmates of the New Haven Orphan
Asylum were the fortunate, youngsters
and royal time they had of it. To-
day the children of the ST. Francis
Asylum will be given their chance to
breathe the fresh air and partake, of
the good things which have been pro-
vldel for them.
The satisfactory phase Of these ex-
cursiors has been the liberality Of the
machine owners and contributors to
tho find In overlooking religious diff
fercncos of opinion. Together they have
regarded the children as children whose
religious training has nothing to do
with their deserts in this work-a-day
world. The more this spirit Of genuine
brotherhood and sisterhood is utilized
to give others a happiness which So
cial conditions have deprived them of
the nearer viii New Haven approach
to he millennium 1t is very small
thing to do but the doing Of 1t never
theless adds UNNECESSARILY to the sum
and total Of human contentment.

gence than has yet been devised and

It is doubtful If Mr.. MacQueen gets a
large following. Roosevelt doesn't want
to be President any more, and there
i1 no reason to think that he wants to
be a King. Perhaps this country will
yet get SO tired Of itself that It will

That is queer talk which comes from

make its report of character to pro-
tect the politicians who profited by 1t
and that the recommendations for
criminal action Will be against three

ent of public grounds, the architect
and the principal contractor. All others

as State officers are to 60 free of pros
ecution as far as the commission is
concerned. If any criminal action is to

Is true freedom but to break

And, with leathern hearts, forget

No; true freedom is to share

Earnest to make others free.
They are slaves who fear to speak
For the fallen and the weak.
