WILL NOT VISIT
 IN CHICAGO
Boys Savings Sewed Up In His Undershirt And
 Sent to Laundry.

Little Rock, Aug. II. Carl Cleaning, youth of Little Rock, will not this year take a vacation unless a local bank comes to his assistance with fresh supply of travellers cheques. Cleaning works for a printery in Little Rock, and all duri ,g the winter months he worked steadily and put away every cent possible, so he would be able to visit in Chi cago this summer and gain a reputation among the young peo- pie there as a spender. Several days ago he discovered he had saved up the required amount, as he considered it, and in order to have the money so no one could spend it but him, in case he lost it, secured travellers cheques from a local bank. To add to the safety of the money the mother sewed the cheques up in his shirt. By come mistake this undershirt, cheques and all, was sent to the laundry. Strong soap, the wear of the washing machine, followed by the ironing process, the ink on the cheques would not stand laundrying pro- cess and the black paper, badly mutilated is all that remains of Clemings' savings.

STRONG WORDS.

JuuRe lIllIIldn, president OI the State University, gives the right ring to his convictions on the saloon problem. Hear him:
 National suppression of the liquor traffic will come just as sure as did the suppression of slavery" ,"
 In discussing the rights of the saloon in community, he calm ly but forcibly declared that r. gardless of what the statutes may say, the saloon has no right of existance. He said: No man has a right to maintain a business that will ruin the life of my boy and girl, and no legisla- ture has the right to grant any such privilege to any man. 1 have all respect for due process of law, and never approve of vio- lence, but after all it is better to smash a blind tiger than to let giant destroy your boys life. It Is better to smash a blind tiger than to have it crush your girls heart, and 1 want to say with all calmhess and deliberation that if any blind tiger or joint should start up near any home, there would be something happening there, and I'd be in the front rank. From one end of our land to the other we have statewide prohibition in some states, coun- ty prohibition in others; but it will be but short time now when we will have nationwide prohibition. You say it cannot be done? At one time we thought it impossible to abolish slavery. At one time it was declared inn possible to stop piracy. But to- day slavery and piracy are un- known.
 National prohibition will be an industrial calamity, you say? We'll, it might hurt the business of the brewery trust. But val ue the happiness and prosperity of one woman more than all the brewers and distillers on earth. The brewery trust is depending upon the American boy for the raw material out of which to make drunkards. We need that American boy in this land of ours-need him as a sober boy and the brewer shall not be al- lowed to debauch him mere y for the sake of a few dollars of rev. enue. If we cannot run our gov- ernment, our counties. our cities, without debouching our homes, we had better go out of the gov eMing business.
 "Tkey tell me that prohibition is failure in Kansas; that more liquor Is sold there than ever be- fore. We'll, if that were true, the breweries would not be fight ing so hard to keep Arkansas, Texas and other states from go- ing prohibition, They would en- courage prohibition if it sold them more beer. The saloon and liquor are the home's worst enemies. The saloon helps bus mess along some nes-the tomb stone agent and the undertaken forish at it's back door. A licens- ed saloon is more harmful to a community than blind tiger. There is no need of either.

EDUCATION AND OCCUPATION.

Here are some interesting facts per-
tanning to education and occupation
furnished by Mr.. George B. Hodge, in
ternational educational secretary Of
the Y. NJ. c. A, of New York city:
"Of all boys who have remained in
school until II years of age, four fifths
have dropped out before they were two
years older. OF every 100 young men
on the continent, only five are prepared
and equipped by education for their
occupation and business-ninety- five
are not. OF every 100 grammar sclool
graduates, eight obtain their livelihood
in the professions and business, trained
for their vocations by means of COL
lege and university privileges. The
other so carr. their livlihood by means
of their hands,
Whether these figures would hold in
occupational conditions 1t would be
difficult to say, but that they indicate
general conditions which prevail here
as elsewhere. appeals to everyone of
casual observation as the truth, re-
marks the Portland Telegram The dis
crepancy between the character of ed
ucation and the demands of occupation
is one of the most patent and at the
same time one of the most significant
facts which points to the educational
reform involved in the establishment oc
manual training schools.
This is really the gist of the whole
business. We may trace to it the vast
number of misft young men who are
launched into the hard, practical
money-earhing days of life, along av
enues that are evercrowded by those
who know what has been taught them
in the schools. but which is best de-
scribei under the general term of
nothing in particular" They have no
skill OF hand and by lack of specialized
ton very little of brain. 1t is more by
chance than by the exercise of any set
of trained faculties that they make
their way at all.
1t will be found, the more, we go into
THIS matter of industrial education
that there is no defense for the con-
tlnuance of the present SYSTEM with
out giving the average boy a better
chance with his more fortunate school
mate, who is provided with opportu-
nifty for entering a profession or en-
gaging in a higher technical calling.
No community can do better than to
consider this matter seriously. and.
following that, TO act for the benefit
of the average boy, and especially so
when the occasion offers as it does
just now in Portland. We must not let
go of this Industrial education idea
until 1t becomes the fact in the best
significance of the term.

NEW YORK, Jan. 10.-The year

in a sober frame Of mind and gener-

This is due to recognition of the fact
that the liquidation and adjustment
which has taken place in the stock
market must to some degrees be expect

and while nobody expects such a Sc

has taken place in Wall street, still it
is now admitted that the mercantile
credit situation is badly strained and
that a lower level for commodities
must be attained before general bust
ness can show any substantial tend
ency toward recovery That the pro-

industrial affairs has begun is very
evident, and how long it will continue
