Hur1or and
Philosophy
~ DUNCAN n. SMITH
LlBERALITf.

Listen to the other man.
Though perhaps you cannot Sc
Anything in what he says
And with 1t cannot agree.
Do not for a cause like that
Be afraid to hear him through.
Though he skaters your beliefs.
Is the truth too strong for your
In the little private rut
That so placidiy you glide
You may have a glimpse Of truth,
But the outlook Ia not wide.
Rub against the other man.
Stay and talk the matter DER.
You may learn thing or two
That you never knew before.
All Of truth Is not confined
In one little private sack.
Just as honest men there are
Who are on another track,
And perchance IL they are wrong,
Cropping blindly in the night
Getting at their point Of view,
You may help to set them right.
Truth is somewhere In the world.
Here and there are fragments small
And it's not to be presumed
You have CHANGED to get 1t all.
In the workshop or the mart
Take your fellow man aside.
You will broader for II be
If not SO self satisfied.

We are confident that no citizen is
better qualified for the position of
mayor of the city of Everett than H.
W. North, who has filed his candidacy
for that office. 1t has been our pleas
IRE to know him personally for some
years and we have found him to be a
man of sterling worth and high princi-
pie. In his business dealings he is alb
solutely reliable as every one can testi-
fv who has had business relations with
him. His personal worth can be testi-
fled to by the fact that he came out
as candidate for the Republican pri-
mary nomination for the legislature last
tall with only limited acquaintance
outside of the city of Everett and lost
the nomination by only eleven votes
In the short time that has elapsed since
he filed his candidacy for the office of
mayor some industrious individuals
have circulated the report that he has
promised in the event of his election to
give certain appointive offices to diff
ferent persons and to remove others. We
make this statement unequIyOcaIly:
that he has made no such promises. Mr.
North believes THAI the best interests
of the city alone are to be considered
in the matter OF appointments and that
personal feelings in the matter should
not enter into consideration when the
administration of the citv's affairs are

The company is preparing to open

was established by the Lehigh Valley
coal company for the benefit of all
classes Of its employees. from foreman
down to do0rboyS and slate pckers.
There are hundreds of these employees
who have had the ambition, but not the
means. to acquire the training of
mining engineer For them course
at college is out of the question. The
new school. with regular instructor
and with the aid of Il correspondence
course. is designed to take the place SO
far as possible of a college training.
1t is in line with the scheme recon-
mended by the committee of foreign
experts who came to this country last
year to study conditions in the mines.
a building formerly used for offices
was converted into schoolhouse.
Desks and chairs were put in, maps
and pictures were hung on the walls,
and periodicals devoted to mining sub
jects were subscribed for. The total
number of mine workers enrolled was
divided into two sections, each of
which met at stated times in the even
ings. In addition to the instructor en-
ployed by the company, several mining
experts came to the school upon inyi-
tation and delivered lectures.
strict record Of the performances
in the school is kept and is forwarded
every month to the general manager
OF the company. In this way the man
agement is enabled to know which of
its employees deserve promotion. The
man who shows the most zeal and
ability in the school is most apt to
win his way to a position of RESPONSE
bility.
1t is probable that the success of
the Lost Greek school will lead to the
establishment elsewhere of other in
situations Of the same kind. In his
official report the chief of the Penn
sylv.nfa department of mines says
that large proportion of fatalities
are due TO the ignorance or careless
ness of mine workers Education is
held to be the surest preventive of ac-
cidents of that kind.

but we doubt if the questioner saw any
thing funny about it. We do not wish
to say that no public service employees
are courteous, but That the traveller 50
often meets with such rebuffs that one
wonders if school for courtesy should
not be established by the corporations
that serve the public and their employees
made to take the whole course. 1t is
certain that lesson in courteous treat
ment may well be learned from our
Canadian cousins.
