a little harder and do my best to take care of all of them properly"
 Almost on the same day noted club woman in Chicago was giving a learned sociological lecture on the matter of race suicide, in which she declared that it was a crime for pa rents to bring children into the world whom they could not properly sup port
 What is the answer to the problem? Is it & modified Malthusianism for the poor man, legal adjustment of fam fly to income, as has been seriously advocated? Few people realize to their fullest extent the possibilities of "hustling little harder" Most of us stop short of that We imagine we are at the limit of our ability long before we are fully there. Many do not put forth any really serious effort at all, and society should take it upon itself to aid and persuade every man to do his duty in fulfilling the obligations he has taken on himself in setting up home The very beasts are more humane than some men. They follow their instincts and the law of their natures to the limit. Men alone com

THE WEST AND PANICs.

In the vaults of the Western banks are securities based on the things people must eat and use, on the con tents of cold-storage buildings and of warehouses that will soon he needed. As these goods are purchased they will be paid for and the banks will get their money. Bright skies and commercial activity should first come where such conditions exist, So long as the sun shines and the rain falls on the fertile acres of the west, financial distress cannot long continue. A large portion of the past seasons produce is yet in the bin or remains unharvested in the field. It is not such crop as that of 1908 but with the higher prices prevailing in October it was es- timated to be worth more money. The farmers, looking at this and consider ing the newly planted wheat which is going into winter in excellent condi- ton throughout the southwest, are unable to find cause for pessimism.
 It is perhaps not bad thing for the west to have been awakened out of it's sectional self-sufficiency and to have it brought home sharply that this nation is one in business and fin

every minute undertaking of every days activity. The successful mans life is made up of a myriad of suc- cesses. If you let one little item of your days work get by you without satisfying yourself that you have done your best on it you are preparing for failure. A million treatises on how to be successful will not help you.
 The trouble with too many of us iss that we are so busy trying to see a. great success in the future that wes can't see the chances for little suc-t cesses under our noses. Heaven iSD not reached at single bound, and neither is success. The only way to succeed is to be successful It fs worth thinking over.-St. Paul News.

ance, as it is in political organization When normal conditions are restored, there ought to be accepted broader and more helpful sympathy between East and West, a realization that will have a. strong influence in the safer adjustment of mutual interests. The West has had a striking object lesson in national finance, sharing it's revela- tion with the East which perhaps un- derestimated it's dependence on the nations granary. Both should gain an experience not to be forgotten Charles NJ. Harger in the Review of Reviews.

THE WAY TO SUCCEED.

Here is a bit of advice that will go as far as any that was ever paid for: The only way to succeed is to be suc- cessful Doesn't sound very profound, does it? It isn't. It's about as sim ole as anything that has ever been printed, and at first sight it may ap- pear idiotic. But there is a lot in it.

A Few Railroad Figures.

Few of US have any idea of the vast
extent Of the railroad business in which
tins country is engaged, or rather in
which individuals and corporations
within this country are engaged AS
a matter Of fact, it is the biggest
American industry and it's extent as
indicated by figures summarized from
recent government report is some
thing amazing to the average citizen.
1t is business employing 100000
men with gross income of s.. 600 ,OOO,-
900 year, taking in for freight and
passenger rates 100000 day, an
amount of money which. if boarded for
year, would strip the nation of its
whole supply of metal and paper cur
rency Out of every dollar received by
the railroads, in this two billion and
half dollar business, 40 cents goes in
wages, % cents goes for cars, steel and
supplies, 8 cents goes for taxes, IS
cents goes to pay the interest on bonds,
etc. u cents to- pay dividends, and Z
cents is put aside for surplus
When it is considered that of the %
cents out of every dollar which goes for
supplies at least 10 cents is spent for
labor. it follows that one-half the in
come of the railroads goes back to the
workers. The Italians, Poles and 9TH
I. fnrnionnrS al l,n fra oh,
layers gangs get six cents out of
every dollar, and this humble element
of railroad employees receive $780,
100000 in wages each year. The aver
age yearly earnings of all railroad
workers is a little more than $500 a
year Last year 400 railroad en-
killed. and 5000, or one in every 49,
We're injured
The passenger traffic is the small end
Of the railroad business. The average
rate paid is a trifie over cents a
mile: 9O0000,0d0 passengers paid $780,,
100000 in fares The average Ameri-
CdH IIlduc leil TdilTOdO tTlpS III year
of an average length of 80 miles, cost
ing L total of $3.50. Counting the
average family as five, the annual
cost per American family for steam
railroad fares is about $3.50 When
we come to freight, the figures go into
Dig money although the average
charge was only three-fourths of a
cent ton Of freight per mile carried
For the use of 100000 freight cars the
railroads received $500. 100000. The
owners of the 100000 miles of railroad
in the United States are $1,000 stock
holders. who receive s3Oo,ooo,oo in divi-
dends. or sc per cent on what they
have invested The bOndholders get
81 per cent. on the par value Of their
bonds.

The existing agreement between the
miners and the operators in the anthrsl-
cite coal regions will expire next
spring and already prophets of evE are
finding the promise of trouble. OF
course, this winters supply of fuel is
not affected. and SO most individuals
will refuse to do any worrying about
the coal supply of winter that is still
a year away. When the great strike
was settled half a dozen years ago it
was hoped that the agreement could be
made permanent, but the miners are
now making many new demands which
the operators declare they will never
grant. No doubt if conservative John
Mitchell had remained at the head of
the federated miners. the list of de-
mands would have been greatly modi-
fed, but in this case. as frequently in
others, new leadership seems to mean a
more aggressive and sensational policy
and the general public will have to pay
the bills.

Now that the returns are at length
all in. it appears that the Socialists
cast only about 100000 votes at the No
vember election. This is about 10000
more votes than were cast by the
party in 1904 but it is still far short of
the million which Debs freely predicted
he would receive this year. Socialism
is an exotic in America. Practically all
who believe in it. or who profess to

Except for what impetus it gets from
the board maintained by Andrew
Carnegie's money. the simplified SPELL
ing movement in this country has
pretty well petered down to the small
end Of nothingness. The persistent
millionaire is not discouraged, how
ever, and now proposes to push his
crusade into Great Britain and a sim
plified spelling society in London is
being well backed by his money. In
Great Britain as in this country many

pie endorse the movement. but it takes

Look down, we pray, on all that play in

youth and eladness rally;
Keen fair the place with pristine grace,
that in ON. gray December
We may he led with blithesome tread to

In gardens fair that blossom there along

With all its CLEANS, its joyful dreams

It's shade trees sweet that line the street
