TEACH THEM EARLY

There is growing impression that the
public school may take a wider range
than the mere elucidaion OF mathematical
problems or the unfolding of natural and
scientific laws. 1t is now held that boy
cannot too early regard himself as a citi.
sen of the Republic, and be taught along
with clear idea of such responsibility,
a loyal reverence for the flag and the
names that have perpetuated it. Should
the first day of every school year be given
over to semi-social review of public
affairs, to the carrying of banners and
the singing of patriotic songs, it would
be day well spent. The Republic has
had already very serious problems before
it of race and of the amalgamation of
nstionalities and religions. The children
in the schools to-day must be equipped
not only with education but the loyalty
to solve these problems.

WHEN YOU PHONE
Speak in a low voice.

Speak in a low voice.
There is no need to put ones mouth
close to the receiver and then shout as
if speaking from second story window.
Shouting only sets up an echo, which
makes it difficult for your auditor to catch
your message.
Just try whispering instead. A whis-
per carries well over the wire and has
no echo. Remember.1too, that the tele-
phone is substitute for shouting.
Don't think that just because you are
speaking over a telephone you must be
as curt as possible. A few courteous
words of greeting should be changed be-
fore the message is spoken.
1t is mistake to think that the phone
is for business only and brusqueness is
bad form.
In actual conversation we have the
advantages of facial expression.
A smile may make curt remark or a
refusal pleasant.
Over the telephone there are only words
and tones of voice which convey an ex-
preston.

BE USEFUL

Do not be ashamed Of doing the small
est thing that is helpful to others. The
opportunities for great usefulness comes
rarely, but the smaller things are always
at hand, aad he who does them constant
lv is of great usefulness, and sometimes
when the great opportunity comes it is
only the one who has trained himself to
the little things that have come before
who is master OF the situation. Be kind.
be faithful, be true to all who have any
claim upon you. Don't miss chance to
do favor to those who need your help,
and you cannot fail to become useful men
and women, and of such the world has
great need.

LABOR TURNS TO TAFT

Convincing evidence was furnished BY
the conference at Cincinnati last week by
Judge Taft with Oscar Straus, secretary
of commerce and labor, and T. Y. Pow.
derly, formerly general master workman
of the knights of Labor, that the attitude
of labor is growing each day more friendly
to Taft. The campaign of education
which the Republicans have been carry.
ing on has been effective, and the labor
ing man, so Mr.. Powderly told the can.
didtae, is beginning to appreciate the fact
that restoration of business confidence
through the election of Mr.. Taft means
more work and prosperous times for him.
Secretary Straus announces bis inten-
tion to go out on the stump for the
specific purpose of exposing some of the
Bryan fallacies in regard to labor. Said
Mr.. Straus: "The most dangerous of these
falIacies is presented in Bryan's slogan,
Shall the people rule?' and well may he
ask it, for every one of his leading DOC
LrlDGS ls u6uIhl vi tnht IHlCs
Mr.. Straus classes Mr.. Bryan's govern
ment guarantee OF bank deposits as next
in point of danger to his plan for the
government ownership of railroads. Mr..
Straus believes this guarantee proposition
is as great menace as Sic old l6 to l
hobby. "To guarantee deposits" said
Secretary Straus, sis to guarantee the
loans Of the banks, for as matter of fact,
large part Of the banks deposits is made
up of credits extended by the bank to
borrowers and by them deposited or
placed on the books of the banks as de-
posits."
Mr.. Powderly said among other things
after his talk with Taft; Labor never
was better organized, better paid, more
independent or more respected than it is
to-day. Never was it more secure in its
share of the outcome of the commodity
or the good will and confidence of EN-.
ployers. All this is due to the effort of
nonpartisaD, we'll officered unions. What
labor organizations now enjoy, and they
enjoy more than they ever enjoyed in the
civilized world before, came as the result
of intelligent, cooperative effort exerted
in a nonpartisan way through their
unions.
"Of course there are many men out of
employment as the result of the recent
depression, but to my knowledge men
are returning to their old occupations all
over the country and at their old rates
of pay. I recall the awful panic of 1873
and that Of 1893, and in neither case did
men 90 back to work at their old wages.
The case is different now, and to my
mind it would be suicidal for labor to
vote in such way as to imperil the re-
turn Of full prosperity, SO rapidly mani

SEVEN MILLIONS sAw(BALL GAMES

The greatest baseball season in the his
tory of the major leagues has just closed,
| 7,246, ,354 persons seeing the combined
games Of the National and American
leagues. These figures are combined after
careful compilation, and obtained from
each individual city.
For the first time since 1901, the first
year of the invasion of the East by the
American League, the Nationals outdrew
their rivals. The grand total of the Ma
tional League was 1854, 98S, while the
American drew 8, ,6l1 1856 showing 23,622
difference in the Nationals favor.In 1907,
the American League outdrew the Ma
tional by 60, 971, which shows an increase
for the old league OF S97, 1876. The Ameri-
can League showed on increase of 2l2, ,6O2
over 1907.
New York was the Nationals bright
spot, and careful estimates place the fig
ures at 10000. an average of $1,000 per
game or one. fourth OF the total of the
league. Chicago was second, with $685.
325, an average Of 9,5O4 to game; PhiIa-
delphia, being third with total of 420,-
$50.
The Chicago White Sox led the Ameri
can League, with grand total Of 636, ,096,
while st. Louis was second, with the
grand total of 618, ,947, this being the great
est season the Browns ever had,
The Chicago Nationals proved to be the
best drawing team on the road, making
au average of 8437. The New York Giants
were not far behind, though, when they
averaged S193. Detroit was the best road
team in the American League, with an
average of 7S47 to game. Cleveland was
second with an average of 1858.
The western clubs of the American
League drew 2,1l3,504 to the eastern
cities total of l ,497, 1862 while the eastern
cities of the National League drew $780,
O20 to the western cities total of l, IA, 1868.
The large Sunday attendance increases
the western figures at least one-third.
The largest crowd at single game was
at the Polo Grounds, New York, on Octo-
ber 9Th, when the Cubs and Giants met
not single estimate falling below 30, 600.
The smallest crowd of the season was at
the Athletics grounds on October I'd,
when 260 paid to see the game.
The most remarkable feature during
the season was the tremendous tprnouts
at the twenty-five games played between
the Giants and Cubs. In eleven games
25O, 900 persons saw the Cubs at The Polo
Grounds, New York, while in eleven
games at Chicago 1856, ,97S turned out: On
only two Of the twenty-five games were
the figures single. These figures do not
include worlds championship or .exhibi-
tion games,

DEPOsITORs SAFE

Congressman and others will be inter-
ested to note that, although thirteen
banks and trust companies closed their
doors in consequence Of the October
panic, not one Of the $1,000 depositors
will lose dollar. Some Of these inetitu-
tions had been wickedly mismanaged, but
in every case the men responsible have
been expelled, some indicted, and some
have committed suicide. Il hardly looks
in these circumstances as If we needed
federal guarantee Of national bank depos-
its. If that were provided. as the Demo-
Gratis propose, one great agency for hold
ing bank officers up TO proper sense of
individual responsibility for the safe and
proper conduct of their institutions would
be removed.
