The world had a SILVER of appTe-
hension on June is. 1888, when the
cables flashed the news OF the death
of Frederick the Noble aud the Access
sion to the German throne Of William
II, an aggressive, self-assertive, COM
bative man, only 20 years of age, who,
IT wal predicted, would plunge Europe
into war. The apprehension was
heightened a little later when the
young emperor cut loose from the wise
tutelage Of Bismarck.and served notice
on the world that he was going to be
his w master, shape his own policies
and direct himself to the destinies of
his empire. How unfounded were these
fears is shown by the fact that the
emperor celebrated ON June 10 the
twentieth anniversary of his accession
to the throne and the event was
merely mentioned in the news cables,
While the emperor has prided him
self on being war-lord and has often
urged the Importance of keeping sharp
swords and dry powder. his nation has
been guided in paths of Ipeace and
progress. The u Of his country
have been developed to an extent with
out a parallel in German history. Ger
many has led Europe for the last
twenty years in ar energetic, progress
sive and prosperous advancement In
all lines Of activities, due largely to
the kaiser's wise counsel and guiding
influence. He has made Germany a
great Industrial nation. where It was
largely agricultural before his reign,
and has made 1t a lender instead Of a
borrower of worlds funds, He has
demonstrated a wonderful capacity
that has marked him as one of the
ablest rulers of the old world.

what the American workingman
wants is good wages, paid promptly,
steady employment, and the right to
do what he likes with his money"
said a large employer of labor while
in Omaha last week. In this he touches
on the vital spot in the relation be-
tween employer and employed. This
man had been detailing the results of
an experiment that he had carried on
in his own works in the way of pa
ternally providing for his workmen.
He had installed baths, gymnasium
and other ap~purtenances for the pur-
pose, as he thought, of am~eliorating
the condition of his workmen, but his
baths fell into dusty disuse, his gym
nasium was neglected and his other
efforts were quite as fruitless. He Is
philosophical enough to admit that he
was mistaken. Nothing in his expert
ence tends to give him the impression
that his workmen do not battle, that
they are not interested in athletic
sports and pastimes, or that they do
not care for books and magazines. His
conclusion is that his workmen prefer
to do these things for themselves, and
without the advice or assistance of the
employer in any way, save as the en-
ployer shares with the men on equal
footing.
The experience Of this employer is
neither unique nor singular. 1t has
been repeated many times, frequently
on a much larger scale. Employers,
actuated by philanthropic or altruistic
motives, have at different times under
taken to provide for their workmen
along model" lines, but each time
they have encountered that sturdy
spirit of independence which has
eventually broken down the effort. The
relations between the employer and
the employed is a peculiar n and
does not permit of patronage from
either side.
The employer who realizes that his
men are men, and not machines, Is
certain to reap the largest reward In
service in the end, while the general
cause of society is better subserved by
maintaining the spirit that induces
the workmen to provide for them
selves, rather than to incuicate a spirit
of servility under which the workmen
will expect to be provided for.

WOMEN ANn ~PsrcHoLoaF.

Prof. Stanley G. Hall, president Of
Clark university, is the latest con-
tributor to the rapidly increasing
volume of balderdash that is being
written about alleged psychological
achievements. Under the different
guises of telepathy, hypnotism, sub
conscious activity, alterations of per-
sonality, hysteria, mental automat-
isms, these apostles of p~sychical re-
search have laid bare the most inner
most thoughts of the human mind,
photographed the soul, discovered the
workings of supernormal mental pro-
cesses and found cut a mass of stuff
that isn't true. They have invented
machines by which they can tell
whether you are lying or whether you
had eggs or pie for breakfast. They
have allowed nothing to get away and
have left very little to chance. Here
is Prof. Halls latest:
Woman is much more susceptible than
man. There Is a good reason for this, We
know that she has two or more souls. She
may love and hate at the same time ana
the same person. She may say and think
that she is sick or well when the reverse
is really true. 1t means simply that one
soul is in the ascendency. These two souls
may be absolute strangers to each other,
but they certainly exist. We have proved
It beyond the shadow of a doubt.
OF course she may love and hate the
same man or the same woman ut n
time. OF course she may think she is
sick when she knows she is well and
vice versa. OF course she may be an
absolute stranger to herself and at
the same time be her own best chum.
It needed no college president to come
from a laboratory to tell US this. After
taking Prof. Halls effort home and
trying it on the piano the conclusion
is forced that while he may know all
there is to know and then some mor
about psychology he is in the kinder
garten class when 1t zones to the study
of women.

A UNIQUE
Striking Features of MIR. Taft's Public
Activities.
wall Street journal.

wan o1hSOb JOURNAL
A majority OF the presidents Of the
Unated States have been lawyers. but Sec
rotary Taft, II he is elected to that Of
flee, will be the only one who has had an
extensive experience as Judge OF both state
n federal courts. He will be the only
president who has ever refused q place
upon the United States supreme court
bench.
In another respect Taft's career has been
unique. Though he has been for more
than twenty-five years in public life, and
has heldAcommisslons signed by Presidents
Arthur. Harrison. Mckinley and Roosevelt,
he has never held an elective office. His
career. has been that OF an administrator
and jurist, and within those limits his
experience has been greater and more
varied than that of any other candidate
for president since Buchanan.
TAFT may be said to be the first inter-
national statesman in many years to be
nominated for president. jefferson, Van
Buren, and Buchanan served in important
positions, but Taft, while he has never
been an ambassador, has. in the perform
ance Of his duty In connection with the
philippines, Cuba and Panama, had an ex-
perience which has brought him into per-
sonal contact with the statesman in all
parts of the world, M he has had, more
than any other American In many years,
to deal in a personal way with large inter-
national problems. He has displayed re-
markable administrative tact and skill IN
the government of the Philippines and
Cuba.

The travelling public-and the term
includes most of the population of
America-will hail With JOY and
thanksgiving the recent evidences that
the broad-minded business men who
are at the head Of the nations rail-
ways are beginning to understand
fully the adverse effect of the un-
friendliness of a mistreated public
upon the earnings Of transportation
companies. Evidence OF this awaken
ing is furnished In circulars that are
nov being issued by eastern railroads
urging their employees to treat pa
irons with courtesy. on the grounds
that courtesy is good business"
The Pennsylvania, the Reading and
the Lackawanna roads have taken the
lead in this matter, the Lackawanna
publishing a lengthy treatise, ad-
dressed to agents, conductors and
other representatives." on the import
ance of 10 conducting themselves
toward their patrons that they may be
able to count the good will Of the
public as one Of the roads most valu-
able assets. Some Of the suggestions
contained in these instructions are well
worthy of reproduction:
In a highly complex and technical bust
ness, such as that of the railroad, there
are many things that you, with your train
ing and daily experience, understand with
perfect familiarity, but which the public do
not understand; therefore, do not assume
that the public should comprehend them
without asking questions; but when they
make inquiry Of you give them the cour-
tesy Of a reply just as full and clear as you
can max II, and without any suggestion
Of superiority born OF a greater knowledge.
Courtesy is not only something the public
have a right to expect Of you, but It pays,
1t pays In the friends Il makes you per
sonslly and as a representative of the COM
pany.
1t pays in minimizing the friction Of
your life, as well as that between the com-
pany and it's patrons.
1t pays IN raising your standing with the
company.
1t pays in the personal satisfaction re-
sulting from having done the right and
kindly thing by your "n%eighbor.'
1t is the wish of the management of this
company that all its representatives, whose
work brings them into contact with the
public, may appreciate and fully measure
up to their duty and privilege in this re-
speot.
Railroad men are not naturally
gruff and ill-tempered. but from habit,
example and precedent too many of
them have come to look upon the
public as a petulant, inquisitive, neces-
sary evil. Travellers who have waited
at information bureaus" while the
self-satisfied attendant finished writing
a note to his best girl OF telephoning
to his chum, or have been snubbed
properly by the baggage man, or have
been Inundated by the cheap wit of
the train crier, or have submitted to
any of the annoyances that beset the
seeker of information in railway sta
lions, will appreciate the admonition
of the railway managers.
In the final analysis, the travelling
public has a right to expect courtesy.
1t pays for it. The road that makes
courtesy a part of its service will find
1t Of demonstrated value as an item Of
railroad equipment.

he will not get In this article, has de-
clared war on gossip and is going to
resort to sensational methods to win

effort 20 turn his church study into a
scandal-mongering clearing house by
inviting the women Of his church to
meet once a month there and exchange
their stories OF domestic chickering's,
giddiness and society gossip. He
argued that as soon As the women had
told all their stories there would be no
need of repeating them In public. The
proposition. carrying as II did an in

Kansas City Journal.
That spirit Of Intolerance which seeks
to make Sunday q rigidiy moral" day, and
assumes that to do this it is necessary
to stun all material activities for twenty
four hours each week, Will no doubt re-
joice at the Tia that has been placed on
lola, Kan. In an effort to make lola a
good place to stay away from on Sundays
The town council has passed rigid blue laws
that are even worse than those musty and
Anticipated statutes under which Judge
Wallace Of Kansas City seeks to make
himself popular and fails so thoroughly.
The first day Of the lid at lola saw all
business suspended. Even the sale Of bread
and meat was forbidden. Livery stables
refused to hire conveysnces and the luck
less travelling man who reached lola after
midnight Saturday night was compelled 20
leave his baggage at the station. Teie-
phone girls were threatened with arrest
II they presumed to conduct their goddess
vocation On Sunday.
Here in Kansas City we have been ex-
periencing the Sunday crusade for several
months, and know something of its at
f~lictions. Last Sunday a crowd OF un-
fortunates who had been driven out OF
their homes because of the flood were as
sem5led in the Convention hall. They
were hungry and an attempt was made 10
buy provisions for them. 1t was only after
a long search that a few loaves Of bread
were found that could be bought, and
these were secured and given 10 the suf-
ferIng. But the man who sold this bread
that the needy might be fed vas violating
the law, ,as Judge Wallace CONSTITUTES Il,
and he may yet have to account to tina
stern pillar Of justice for his unrighteous-
ness.
II is remarkable that In this enlightened
day and generation a thriving and progress
slve city should be subjected TO a Sunday
closing program 30 rigid as TO bring dis
comfort TO many Of it's citizens and to
nearly all Of is visitors. Kansas City is
