vAGRANcY NUISANCE.

= ID ABROAD companies throughout the
N country are starting a determined CAM
pagn against the tramp nuisances. Laws against
vagrants are to be rigidly enforced wherever pos
sible, and the companies will endeavor to break
up the stealing a ride practice. This custom
OF hoboes is and has been for years great nui-
sance to the railroad companies, and large bur
den upon them The extent of the burden is not
fully realized by those who have never even given
this subject passing thought The modern
tramp, instead of being unfortunate man
hunting for job, is usually loafer who is trying
to avoid making an honest living
In these days. with Commissioner Powderly
for instance, declaring he could put quarter of
a million of men at work if he had them there IS
no excuse for the tramp nuisance. Those who
have studied the vagrancy question declare that
the tramps flourish simply because they can steal
rides upon the railroads. Tramps caught in this
act should be imprisoned just the same as if they
stole anything else.
It is estimated that the annual loss to the rail-
roads through vagrancy is twenty-five millions
of dollars. 1t has been shown that tramps wrecl,
trains, tamper with signals damage equipment,
and are a source Of danger to the travelling public.
The railroad companies are asking the co-opera-
ton of the public to stop the nuisance and they
should have it.

UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANlA
SUMMER SCHOOL SUCCESS

One OF the most valuable activities
of the American universities is the
maintenance of summer schools par
tiruarly for the benefit of high school
and college teachers who may desire
during the vacation periodic M them
selves for teaching special branches.
The University of Pennsylvania has
just closed the annual session of its
summer school and the fourteen dis
tinct courses were attended by 500
students from % states and six for
| cign countries
Two branches that attracted many
students We're; the course in psychol-
] logy-methods for developing mentally
defective children-and the course in
electro-chemistry. undor Professor +.

! females. many Of whom hold promi-
nent teaching positions in American
Institutions of higher education. In
connection with its Summer School
the University of Pennsylvania ar

INDIVIDUALS RESPONSIBILITY.

lie relation Of the individual to the govern
a ment was discussed the other day by Gov
ernor Hughes, Of New York, in an address at a
county fair in New York State. He points out
that under representative government, like that
Of the United States, the people can get what
they want and upon them must rest responsibility
tor good or evil government. The truth OF this
is apparent.
Our government to-day is what the people
make it. Reformers there are who want to
change the laws and imagine that some mysti-
cism works in a certain kind of law
They think if we have certain kind of law. for
instance, it would do away with corporation or
ring rule any other kind of selfish private in
terest rule. But even under the present system
in Delaware, for example, the people could rule
absolutely if they desired. 1t is true that in
small State like this. and under our Constitution
the real rulers of Delaware are coterie in the
State Senate but if the people were sufficiently
aroused the corporations could not control the
State Senate.
II the individuals were properly trained and
realized their responsibility, the use of Doodle in
Delaware elections would be stopped 1t would
be long contest to bring about this desirable end
and the disfranchisement of the wretches who sell
their votes and OF those who buy them, would be
a formidable step in the right direction AS the
governor says, the individual must be sound and
wholesome, realizing his own responsibility
Governor Hughes recalls that we are spending
millions of dollars on the public schools, believing
that an educated citizen is the best citizen.

FINANCIAL TRAINING.

R EALIZING that hundreds of young men
~ with college diplomas are entering bust
ness and becoming men of affairs rather than
merely professional men, Harvard University
has established a course to be devoted to in
struction in commercial, railroad and financial
pursuits. Long ago the universities and colleges
broke away from the purely classical studies and
are providing technical courses which are now
the most popular in a majority of the higher in
stitutons of learning. There was a demand for
such instruction. and it had to be met. There is
now just as much demand for instruction in COM
mercial and financial studies as there was for
technical courses, and President Eliot, of Ha,-
ward, has decided to widen the scope of the uni
versity to meet these needs. Some of the larger
institutions, like the University of Pennsylvania,
already have such a course as the Wharton
School, but there are not many departments of
this kind in other large universities or colleges
Each year more and more educated young men
are entering business and financial oallines. and
with a generally established course, such as
President Eliot proposes, there is no reason to
believe but that it will be largely patronzed.

HEAVENLY SIGNS

(By Mrs. William II. Carroil)
When the skies are bright
Then my heart grows light,
And / have no care for the morrow;
But when clouds appear
Then the word seems drear.
And my heart is filled with sorrow.
There are often times.
When I hear sweet chimes.
And their memory I fondly treasure;
For the sounds / love
Seem to come from above,
And my heart is filled with pleasure.
/ could never tell
Why my bosom would SWELL
when heavenly sounds I would hear.
But it seems twas token,
And the Lord had spoken.
For ia feel his presence near.
! could dwell in peace
II the world would cease
To gaze on me with scornful eyes
But the time viii soon be here.
When my Saviour will appear,
And take me to realms beyond the skiei

AUTOMOBILE AM FASHION

G ONE fashionable folk in the north Jersey
- towns are returning to the use Of the horse
and the wagon, and in a few years the automobile
will not be so fashionable as it is to-day.
Already the automobiles are no longer signs Of
exclusion or wealth In fact they are becoming
common There are various ways to get an auto
mobile. The person need not have the ready
cash, and the fact that man is riding in a motor
car does not mean that he is Rockefeller or
Prince OF Wales
But the partial abandonment Of the motor cars
by fashion would not mean the decrease in the
use of the automobile The motor car will soon
have fixed place in the economy of life. When
their price is reduced, it will be sooner or later
the motor machines will come into more general
in the business world. The automobile is
here to stay. The auto car, as pure fad is pass
ing away.
