CHILDREN.

Now and then in the annals of the race, there
appears individual, grown up strong and hearty,
whose fixed beliefs and opinions and habits undergo
decided change--sometimes for the worse some
times for the better. Sometimes one who has been
a detriment to society suddenly reforms under
some mysterious influence, and sometimes one who
has led seemingly virtuous and useful life sud
denly is assailed by an uncomfortable mania which
leads him to destruction But these cases are rare
indeed when considered in proportion to the popu-
lation of the world The beliefs and opinions and
habits which become part of man grow up with
him. They have their foundation in childhood and
grow stronger as manhood is attained. 1t is, there
fore, in the children of the present day that we
must base our hopes for better manhood of the
future. Efforts to reform must inevitably be more
or less disheartening to those who would change
the tenor of manhood's devious ways Re
suits there are to be sure to warrant the efforts
and to keep alive the hope that Institutes the eff
forts But men are pretty nearly always what they
grow up to be.
This fact is generally recognized nowadays. It
is apparent in the improved methods of dealing
with juvenile delinquents. No longer are children
who have committed minor offenses thrown into as
ISOLATION with of hardened criminal instincts.
They no longer treated as criminals, but there
is an effort to mend the ways of those errng ones,
to bring them under good influences and inculcate
habits which will make them useful to society rather
than menace The movement for retaining err
ing children is widespread. It has attracted the at
tention of the most famous educators and philan-
thropists 1t is reaching out into the homes and
schools, and has already been the subject of legis
aton in many states. Not only the erring, but the
sick and unfortunate children looked after, and
judicious and humane treatment extended to them
No doubt this great work is producing results that
are good. No doubt the children who come under
the benefcent influences of the juvenile courts are
betered by their associations The results ought to

ANOTHER SUGGESTION.

Mr. Thomas A. Edison is out with another sug
gestion. this time one to increase the area OF Ne"
York CITY bv changing the course of the East river
bv filing up the present channel and making new
channel for the stream further east 1t is not likely
that his suggestion will be acted on this year or
next but it goes to show to what straits the metrop
oils of the nation is put to accommodate It's ever
increasing trade and population. The New York
World saws it is question for cold business caicu-
lation whether the land thus made would atone Tor
the loss of the present waterfront added to the cost
of the work.
New York is a great city; great IN the number
and the sagacfty of its inhabitants great In educa-
tional advantages great in culture; great IN its
municipal progress great III its debts, as Senator
Beveridge of Indiana would say. But there are
thousands of broad acres out here in the west that
reed occupants There are opportunities here, too,
that would appeal to the New Workers who would
change the bed of the East river to give them few
hundred feet more territory which to grow great
er. Of course, one could buy a section two in
the west for what a corner lot in New York Is
worth but the production of those sections would
show legitimate profit far greater than would the
corner lot in Manhattan. And the hustling bustlng
people of the metropolis who crowd each other all
the time would find more peace of mind and soul if
they got out into Gods broad acres of the west than
they hope to have, even if they had dozen
East rivers to divert.

THEALL HALLOWS YOUNG MAN.

A student from All Hallows College. who has
completed his collegiate course and is about to
launch out into the world for himself asks us for
some advice on how to get on in the world.
Our advice to him Is to "spend less than YOU
earn" Selfdenial is at the foundation of all secu-
lar success. There is only one rule for success in
business or in the professions, and that is-spend
less than you earn. The laboring man thinks that
if he were richer he would have plenty of money,
but he is mistaken; no one has plenty of money:
our wants increase fastt than our means. 1t is as
much disappointment to a railroad magnate not
10 be able to buy new railroad as it is to poor
young man not to have money enough to buy new
suit Of clothes.
Grade your income to your expenses; that is.
spend what you like and set yourself to earn the
money and you will always be pushed, harried per-
picked. worried and viii live the edge of contn
uous poverty. Grade your expenses to your income;
that Is determine what you viii spend not by your
wants, but by your means possessions, and you
uill have a quiet mind and be easy and comfortable
Spend your money after you have earned it, and
not before you have earned it. Make note Of this
BUY with your wages in your pocket, not with the
prospective money you expect to have when Satur-
day night comes. So keep out of debt. Hope IN
spires the young man who is earning for future ex-
pendture; debt worries the young man who is earn
ing for past expenditure, and it makes serious
difference in life whether one is inspired by hope or
driven by debt Money earned is money valued.
You recognize the worth of dollar by what you
have put into it; but dollar unearned is dollar
unmeasured. You always underestimate the cost of
work which IS to be done in the future. We al

"WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO Do?"

The Omaha Bee, In vigorous editorial recently,
deplores the extravaganza in spending money of the
young men and women of its home city. 1t warns
them of day of reckoning, when sickness or acct
dent may visit them, with provision made for the
"rainy day" 1t suggests that the ministers set
aside a special Sunday to preach on extravaganza
in dress and wastefulness in food What is the use
Young men no longer go to church, and young
would resent any interference on the part of
the preachers with their taste and habits.
In no country is the meaning of frugality and
thrift so little understood as in our own. In large
cities particularly life for the wage-earners be
comes struggle to keep ahead of ever-encroechng
debt The carners have not the courage to face the
sacrifices which assure to the French, Belgian and
even the German workers competency in old age,
lifting them above public private charity in their
declining years and promising them honorable in
teI7nent after death.
The Germans. Italians and Scandinavians in the
United States know what frugality and thrift mean.
Americans and Irish Americans rarely do. We have
not to 90 out of our way to find for this.
First, there is the example set everywhere in the
"higher class" of show and extravaganza Second,
there is the lack of domestic education by which the
wives of our American wage and salary earners
might be made cheerful helpmates instead of cheer
less drudges. What practical education or prepare
ton have our girls for married life or state in
which they are expected to become the mainstay of
the home? For the wife of the working man must
unless her husband be drunkard, assume the re-
sponsibility of manager, banker and economic
head of the household. If her husband happens to
be drunkard, she might as well try to hook Jobs
leviathan to keep the household in good order.
There many hard working with wives
and children who live shiftlessy and from hand to
mouth. The wives may be well dressed; the chill
dren may flaunt in frills and feathers, which are
worn out and tawdry before the installment man
calls around; but there no provision made against
the wolf that may at any time appear at the door.

EDWARD H. HARTMAN.

Edward II. Hartman died last Thursday after
noon, after several months illness. Mr. Hartman
was easily the most prominent figure in the rail
road world of the United States. He was men,
Der of the New York stock exchange and member
of the firm of E. H. Hartman & Co.: chairman
board of directors, Chicago & Alton Railroad com
pany, Oregon Railroad q Navigation company.
Portland & Asiatic Steamship company: president
and chairman board of directors, Union Pacific
Railroad company; president and director Oregon
Short Line Railway company Southern Pacific
Railway company, the Texas q New Orleans, South
Pacific Coast, Oregon d California, Central Pacific
Carson q Colorado, and numerous other minor
lines; he director of the Illinois Central Bur
lington, Baltimore q Ohio, Northern Pacific. the
Erie, well the Equitable Life Assurance So
ciety, Equitable Trust company, Northern Securi-
ties company, National City bank of New York the
Western Union Telegraph company, the Colorado
Fuel d Iron company. and number of other big
corporations.
Mr.. Hartman made many friends and few
enemies during his active life His friends are
among the who worked with and for him; his
enemies are among those who could hot handle the
great railroader for their personal benefit or who
would use his prominence to promote their own IN
terests. His home life was ideal and those who
were employed about his estate at Arden testify to
his many kindnesses and courtesies. Essentially a
business man, he yet had time for many of the lit
tie amenities Of life which endeared him to those
about him. That he viii be missed in the bust
ness and financial world in which he was leader
IS most natural to expect No one man will be able
to take his place But his work viii be taken up and
carried on. The worlds work has never vet de-
pended upon the activities of one man. But he will
be more greatly missed among those who never con-
sidered him as did the world, among those to whom
he was not railroad wizard, but loving father
and husband and friend. May the consultations af-
forded by the memory Of the good he did in the
world and the sustaining power of God be their por
tion and may the soul of the departed find that rest
and comfort which would be welcomed by an earnest
worker in this life.

While 1t cannot be denied that among the needy in
the United States there are number who have not
reduced themselves to want by their own fault it
must, however, be admitted that large percentage
of the destitute might if they had only done their
duty to themselves be above the reach of poverty
By thrift, frugality temperance and little self
denial, many of the difficulties with which the peo
pie nave to contend in saving something for the
rainy day might be overcome.
Now what kind of training do the female SER
wants, the female clerks typewrters the girl work
ers in all places get for matrimonial life2 The
working girl of American birth is taught to read
and write in our schools. When she leaves the
school her ambition is to dress the limit of her
salary. Frs and putfs, cheap silk and vevets, du-
bous jewelry French shoes and hamboyant hats
adorn her Sundays, public holidays and at the
resorts. She cook little, possibly, after the
American plan which, by the way, is the most
wasteful and unsatisfactory in the world. Where a
French woman of her class would spend few cen
times for dinner, she must exhaust halt-dolIar.
Frugality with her is meanness and learning" APP
piled to anything but books absurdity. She
thinks she knows everything and she does not want
to learn anything.
Mr.. Stead, after finishing his book eff Christ
Came to Chicago" said in lecture delivered at
Understood, England that when in America he was
struck by the superior refnements of the working
mans home, and was deeply greved at the pecuni-
airy helplessness of the family in misfortune and
poverty which the purchase of these refnements
often brought on.
If we expect to save large mass of the people
from the degeneracy of penury which in our large
pi+Ip and
degradation must begin to teach our children to
study self respect, and the meaning of the duty of
sacrificing impulse to principle Our public schools
have made no place for the moulding of the charac
ter OF the future man and woman, no place for the
incubation of the duty of frugality and thrift as
helps to self-respect and morality.
