Stone and Bryan Disagree.

Senator w. j. Stone and w. j.
Bryan of Nebraska agree upon their
initials and on many party matters,
but they do not agree upon the tariff
on raw materials. The Missouri Sen
ator, who is a guest at the Planters
Hotel, has taken occasion to express
his views.
Stone declared that as long as there
is a tariff on the manufactured arti-
cles, it was useless to admit the raw
material free of duty, as the manufac-
turer, controlling the finished pro-
duct, would merely make the differ
ence between the imported raw ma
terial and the sale price of the taxed
finished product. He maintains that
where the finished product is con-
trolled in price, free raw material
merely increases the profits of the
finished product made from free raw
materials. And he declares the prof

Is it Worth While ?

Lincoln (Neb.) Journal editorial:
Suppose it is true that DR.. Cook has
set his heel on the axle of the earth,
that the point where latitude ends,
whence dangle all the lines of longi-
tude, has at last been Dissolved.
What of it? Is man and the world
any better off? Originally there was
a tangible object in northward adven-
ture. There was the northwest pas
sage, the long sought short cut to In
dia, to be found. Only four years
ago this was really found by Amund-
sen, and of course is so blocked with
perpetual ice as to be useless. But
the pole was known in advance not
to be worth a sou. Yet money and
life have been poured out freely to
buy the bauble. The thirty-seven re-
lief expeditions sent after Sir John
Frankling cost something like five
million dollars, and the Franklin ex-
petition lost every life, 1873 officers
and men. For half century past
there has hardly been a year without
its polar expedition and its tribute of
human life to that object. Was il
worth while. Measured by cash div
idends on the investment the answer
is, it was not worth while. There
have been some material gains. In
cidently to these efforts new whal.
ing fields have been discovered and
made available. Mineral deposits
that may eventually be of value have
been found. But compared with
Columbus dash to the west, or OF
SANKEY'S pathfinding in Africa the
polar gains are insignificant. 1t is in
the less tangible but more real mora
account that the profits of polar re.
search appear in plentitude. Man is
man and not monkey because he
could not take dare. His inability
to rest in the presence of the UNI
known sent him across Europe, ovei
the Atlantic, through Africa in
to the air, and towards the poles

had reached his zenith and was

of radium is essentially soul victory

There are lot of people in this
world who are just like this auto
maton, and get along well enough
SO long as there is nothing to hinder
the working of their machinery"
The moral to the story was to ex-
ercise your intellect and reach out
beyond the merely automatic per-
formances of the train, and to teach
the young people to do likewise.
Different Ways of Teaching.
Don't teach history as my teacher
did. By making US believe that it
wasn't cur business to ask questions,
but TO recite, the professor said.
History was given us in homeopath-
ie doses, and we were supposed to
take it and put it down and not let
our curiosity become too active.
Teach rather as my instructor in
geometry taught. She made it per-
Torrance like feeding animals. She
got us so enthusiastic over the work
that we were all in constant eager
ness during the recitations. She
could have put the figures on the
blackboard upside down and we
would have stood on our heads to
do the problems. Problems, you
know, are a real joy, when they are
made real problems
1t is the opinion of Prof. Vincent
that all through life we should meet
problems enthusiastically, and not by
automatically falling against them
and then bounding back defeated.

MANS POLITENESS TO WOMAN
is "PUSHING A BUTTON ACTn
ANs CHIVALRY DECLARED MERELY HABIT NOT SENTIMENT
BY PROFESSOR IN DISCUSSING .HUAAN AUToMAToNn

CHICAGO.-If women heretofore
have supposed that their smiles
touched the hearts of the men let
them understand from Prof. George
E. Vincent of the University of Chi
cago that it touches only a button
over the heart, and results in all
sorts of chivalric reactions, such as
lifting ones hat, opening a cab door
and others.
In speech before the Cook Coun-
ty Teachers Association he set forth
this and other principles on which
the human automaton acts. Not sem
timent, but habit; not intellectually,
but correlation of mental processes
govern our lives.
Our lives to a certain extent, he
said, are the lives of automatons.
All we have to do is to push the
right button at the right time and
the right thing is done. The we'll
bred person never gives any attention
to his grammar or his English or his
etiquette.
And this is as it should be, in the
opinion of DR.. Vincent, but with lin
itatiOns.
Don't BE Too Automatic.
''The danger of this system of ma
ture is that we are likely to become
automatons altogether" he said. Il
used to go to see steel man. He
wore hat and had a cigar in his
mouth, and there was a door in his
back yard where the coal was SHOW
eled in. There was also a place
where you started the machinery go
ing, and off he went until the ma
chinery ran down, or was stopped.

SIS, $50 YEAR FOR BOY OF 4
Mother Asked For $4,000 to Keep
Son, But Referee Held That That
Sum Was ExtraVagant.

GREAT NECK. N. Y.-How to
properly provide for and educate a
child on an income of $15,75O year
is the problem that confronts Mrs.
Gladys R. Martin, wife of James E,
Martin, Jr.
Mrs. Martin was some time ago APP
pointed guardian of the person of her
four-year-old boy, and the United
States Trust Co. guardian of his es-
tate, left by his grandfather, which
amounts to $498,100.49, and is not
obtainable until the boy reaches his
majority.
Mrs. Martin applied to the court
for an allowance of $4,000 yearly,
contending that this sum was only
about sufficient to properly educate
her boy and provide him with a town
and country home and other benefits
suitable to his social position. The
report of the referee, Henry A. Rob
inson, who was appointed to investi-
gate the application of Mrs. Martin,
allows her $15,75O. This report will
be filed with Surrogate Edgar Jack
son of Nassau county
Mrs. Martin in her application
stated that she was only possessed
of 5000 a month, and this sum was
entirely inadequate to support her
child.
Mrs. Martin is to spend the allow
ance in the following manner: Four
thousand dollars yearly for home
and $500 yearly to maintain it;
$4,000 yearly for an automobile and
its maintenance; $500 yearly for en-
tertainments for her boy and recrea-
ton; 5000 yearly for medical atten-
ton, and $3.50 yearly for clothing.

president of the Barrett Leather Co.,
and Editor Brown of the Shoe and

brought about by no artificial causes.
1t is simply the result of great in
crease in the demand with coinci-

1t is the militant tactics of the
English leaders that have hurt the
cause; there is no doubt of that.
Those women have labored unceas-

be trusted with the suffrage. All the
men who were friendly to their cause
at first have become disguised and

ain today has lost greatly in num-

EARTH FILLED IN 2O72 YEARS
Economist Figures That in 1853
Years Space For Human Beings
Will Be Crowded.

BERLIN. -Rayenstein, the econo-
mist, has figured that there are now
about 1.46T 100000 inhabitants in
the world, or about 81 human beings
to the square mile. The total sur
face of the continents is 46,35O,000
square miles. OF these $4,000, 900
square miles are fertile, 100000
square miles are steppes and 4,0O0,-
900 square miles are deserts.
According to this economist the
square mile of fertile soil can easily
nourish 27 inhabitants, and the
largest number of people this earth
could nourish is ,994,0OO,000. The
growth of the population in Europe
is 81 per cent, in Asia 6 per cent,
in Africa 10 per cent, in Australia
8 per cent. This makes an average of
about per cent. on the entire globe
in ten years, which, Ravenstein says,
shows that the earth will be entirely
populated in 1853 years; in other
words, in the year 2072 the globe
will be crowded to its capacity

There is no man in the United
States more famous for raising mon
ey for missionary purposes than is
Rev. Albert B. Simpson With him
to ask is to receive. At one meet
ing he easily raised many thousands
of dollars. He seems to possess the
faculty of unbuckling pocketbooks.
At the same time it is to be feared
that his persuasive oratory Outlines
results in his hearers pledging more
than they can give in justice to
themselves.
Sunday Mr.. Simpson held forth in
the Gospel Tabernacle, Eight avenue
and Forty-fourth street, New York
city and raised $4,000 for mission
airy purposes. He made one remark
able statement of such import that,
il it is true, one must condemn rather
than commend his work He said
that 1T is not uncommon for do
nestle servant to give $500 a year
for the support of a missionary
Either this statement is false-and it
certainly seems that the exhorter
must have been misquoted-or it ad-
vertises a shameful imposition on a
hard working class of women. OF
course We realize that the high-class
domestic in New York has a greater
income than the country village hired
girl, but that their exchequers are
SO plethoric as to warrant the abb
Istraction of $500 per year for mis-
sionary purposes we gravely doubt.
