PREsIpENrs SON SORTS WOOL.

"A COnSlucTuDle IuSS mas Dee0 0OUe
over the fact that Theodore Roosevelt,
Ir., has started to learn the carpet
making business.
Theodore Is just common factory
hand. earning So week as a woo,
sorter. He must begin ut 4 O'Clock In
the morning and work until 6:15 In tho
evening, with forty-6ye minutes for
luncheon.
In u manly interview the young man
said:
Il came here to work and to learn
the manufacture of carpets and rugs.
l am merely an employee. and don't
want OF ask any special favors or no
| tice.''
Nevertheless the presidents son
must be handicapped and bothered by
having publicity thrust upon him. The
newspapers have snapshot pictures Of
him as he goes to his work, pictures of
the factory aud of his boarding house.
and all that sort of thing.
Why?
Surely the job is honorable, and the
young man is displaying the common
| qualities of an American citizen. He
is beginning ut the bottom, as other
boys do. Simply because his father
happens TO be president Is no reason
why mawkish sentiment should be
written about him.
The young fellow Is modest and will
ing ard ought to be given his fair
chance.
Moreover
This exploiting OF Theodore's honest
calling contains the hint of an appar-
emily growing tendency to look down
on the man who earns his substance
by manual labor. There are some per-
sons who seem to regard as sort OF
freak the young man who voluntarily
seeks to earn his bread by the sweat
OF his brow. They elevate their eve.
brows at the spectacle OF the prcsi-
dents son STOPPING to engage as a
sortcr of wools.'
The tendency Of such criticism IS
un-American and deserves singing re-
buke.
We need TO emphasize rather thnn
minimize the dignity OF labor.
Let IL be remembered that I'm this
free country THE SCARS ON THE
scanned HANDS OF THE HONEST
LABORERS ARE SCARS AS HON.
oRABLE AS THOSE RECEIVED IN
BATTLE. The uniform of the soiled
garments of labor is rs patriotic as the
uniform Of military trappings.
Every one who amounts to anything
In this country works Mt something.
In Europe they may call n man who
does no work a "gentlcmnn. in ,bts
country we call him a tramp.

The Nays Christmas.

Christmas In the regular navy Is OBJ
served as one OF the big holidays OF the
year. Starting or with grand dinner
IN the middle OF the day. discipline is
from then on relaxed, and the fun Is
last and furious till shutdown. and Of
ten the evening is enlivened by amateur
tneatricals- The vessel is gayly deco
rated with bunting. and ut each mast
head and at the bow and stern green
trees are dashed If procurable.
