CRYING NEED.

A cause has been found for the lack
OF employment and poverty of thou
sands of men in Great Britain. 1t is
nothing more nor less than the lack or
a proper apprenticeship system for
training boys from II to 20 years OF
age in the different trades. The Asso-
ciated Chambers of Commerce have ad-
dressed a memorial to the government
on the subject, in which it is pointed
out that formerly children were taught
few subjects in the schools. but that
boys received as apprentices in work.
shops and factories a systematic and
thorough training. and could always
defects of school learning; that many
successful and prosperous concerns were
started by intelligent workmen thus
trained; and that. in fact, the former
system of apprenticeship reared up
that race of splendid artisans and
craftsmen which laid the foundation of
all great industries in this country"
That prosperous condition, according
to the memorial, has been changed for
the worse. In comparativeiv Few Of
the factories and workshops boys are
taken as apprentices, and ever. when
they are. it is stated, the employers are
hampered and INSTRUCTED by trades
union rules. Naturally enough, the boy
who is compelled to work turns 10 any
sort of odd Jobs for small pay and with
no hope or incentive such as the former
system held out.
The same condition prevails in the
United States to a greater or less de-
gree. Too many thousand boys are al
lowed to grow 10 manhood without q
trade. and many more who do attempt
to make a living at some particular line
of work are not black
smiths" the printers call them. A good
education is desira BILE. but the schools
do not turn out trained mechanics In
view of the fact that great majority
Of the boys OF the country must earn
their bread by the sweat Of their brows.
is il not time that some fair system Of
apprenticeship be devised? Skilled
workmen from other countries. find
work over here; why not give our own
boys chance?

GoLo-cLoeeEo WATER MAIN.

\ story comes from san Bernardino
Cal, to. the effect that the water main
between Barnwell. on the santa Fe. and
the mining town OF Hart, became
c.cgged recently and that the people OF
the camp were in danger of becoming
thirsty. Investigation was made and.
greatly to the surprise and astonish-
ment OF the worl1iAen. several large
chunks of quartz. half gold at the very
least, were found TO have caused the
trouble
That part OF the yarn that saws the
citizens of Hart We're in grave danger OF
becoming thirsty may be dismissed as
pure invention. Who ever heard of n
citizen OF a new mining camp depend
ing upon a water main for LIQUID
wherewith TO assusge his thirst? Pos
sibly the writer meant TO say that the
water was wanted Tor cooking purposes
or the washing Of the extra shirt and
overalis. hut he. could not or should
not have attempted in cold blood TO
make us believe that water is used for
drinking purposes in the town of Hart
except as a chaser.
AS 10 the finding Of the quartz the
story win probably be. accepted at its
face value. even though a stampede to
&c rsriE;y fyor1 an t',c ether mining
camps Is extremely unlikely. So many
similar discoveries have been made. YOU
know.

instead of unsheathi1g the sword of
Islam, Turkey should be able to main
tain its place in the family of nations
and the sick man of Europe be re-
stored TO health.
The meeting OF parliament is worthy
of more than passing attention. There
were Albanians and Syrians and other
Moslem representatives; Greeks. Ar
menians and Bulgarians or the Chris
tian inhabitants OF the empire, all gath
cred for the purpose Of keeping pace
with the onward maTcn OF civilization.
Members from Jerusalem and Mecca
rubbed shoulders. according to the dis
patches, and all seemed aetuate6 by the
determination 10 carry to a successful
conclusion the bIoodless revolution
which made the constitutional govern
Inent possible.
The f1asco Of 1873. when the first at
tempt was made TO let the people rule,
is now forgotten. Probably Abdul Ha-
mid was not to blame. and it is likely
the people themselves were not pre-
pared for the change. However, the
time has come at last when despotism
has been relegated TO the rear, and
those who have borne the yoke for ages
are given a chance to show to the world
that the fire OF liberty burns in the
breast OF Moslem as well as Christian.

cToRiEs MADE TO FIT.

During each national administration
the incense burners revamp old stories
or take them bodily and, after insert
ing the name of some member of the
reigning family, spring them upon the
unsuspecting public as entirely new.
Many OF these yarns were worked over
for the benefit of Alice Roosevelt, and
now It is Kermit's turn. This youth is
destined 10 accompany his dad to the
wilds of Africa in search OF big game
and the telegraph wires and printing
presses are humming with accounts of
the trip.
Some member of the staff of a New
York paper has dragged a dusty scrap
book from its reposing place and given
Kermit credit for telling one Of the old.
old stories in connection with the pro-
posed hunt. Two or three years hence
the same man will likely pin the yarn
onto one of the Taft boys. The paper
must have something about the accu-
pants of the White House. good. bad OF
Indifferent. silly or sensible All of
which makes one inclined TO regret that
there's nothing new under the sun.

REORGANIZATION TALK.

The New York Evening Post has gone
into the matter of reconstructing the
Democratic party and has been seeking
ty early in the game TO plan success
four years hence. many Democrats have
given their views as to what could or
should be done. but party success is ap-
parently more thought of than any
principle involved. y great many things
are liable to happen before 1912. and ii
is possible a great issue may be pre-
sented for the decision of the voters.
Just at present the line Of cleavage be-
tween the two great parties Is not very
well marked. The Democrats have
been trying for years to reduce the
tariff tax. and a Republican admins
tration is now engaged in attempting
to do that very thing. If they fail to
keep their pledge the next campaign
win hinge on the tariff question. and
most any Democrat ought to win.
The Louisville Courier-Journal dis
eusses the matter at some length and
fails 10 see the necessity for haste in
setting up the pins for the next cam
paign. and Mr.. Wstterson is the Dem
ocratic seer and prophet. IL the party
has any such. He concludes his article
on reorganization. which he headed
Arrows in the Air as follows.

IRE and keep its powder dry Defeat no

less than victory imposes its duties.
Patience. good temper-above all the
dignity that waits upon true courage In
the presence of disaster-represen the
virtues which should commend them
selves to all Democratic speakers and
writer's avoiding intolerance and bonn
bast; remembering in matters of inter-
discussion. that one story is good till
another is told. and that to blind
horse a wink is as good as nod
Mr.. Watterson has been in the po-
liticai field long time. and when the
hour arrives for storming the trenches
he viii be found heading the column,
but he does not want to march up the
hill and then march down again and
repeat the operation at intervals during
the next four years. II is more than
likely the rank and file of the party feel
the same way about it.
