NOT ACCEPT CALL

in this district and the board IS rela-
tons with the general government are
close. Besides this our missionaries
are constantly reaching and leaving
New York andca kindly loving service
of sympathetic welcome and farewell
is demanded
In opening this door the American
Board urged with great power the fact
that years ago your minister enlisted
with it for life and that now it needs
him for this definite work. It added
other considerations of private nature.
The letters conveying this call were so
skilfuliy assembled in two cumulative
columns of persuasion that the ques-
tion has had to be gone over twice.
1t is needless to say that Mrs. Scudder
and I have been very deeply moved
by the presentation of the many
motives urged.
Permit me now to express TO you
all our profound gratitude for the help
which your prayers and words have
been to US in reaching decision. We
have given patient, thoughtful, prayer
ful study to all sides of the question
proposed by the invitation and have
twice reached the conclusion that it is
L
present at least to remain here.
In arriving at this decision it has
been borne upon us that we came to
Honolulu to- renew active connection
with the mission in japan which was

MARINES HURRY|NC'
TO NICARAGUA
viii Be Landed at Corinto to
Protect Americans.

Corinto, Nicaragua, Dec. 20.--The
dispatch of the United States cruiser
Buffalo, with 700 marines aboard, from
Panama to this city, is expected to
have an adverse influence on the can
didacy of Dr. Jose Madriz to succeed
Zelaya as president Of Nicaragua. The
Buffalo is now speeding here from
Panama and will probably reach here
in a day or two. It is announced that
the marines will not be landed unless
Americans in Managua or their prop.
erty are menaced. The recognized op.
position of the American government
to Madriz by reason Of his close affili.
alton with Zelaya has already had a
tendency to check the Madriz enthu.
siasm and it is said that this will
cause the Nicaraguan congress to
choose another man for the position
The other man mentioned is DR.. Jul
ian 1rias, another friend of Zelaya but
not so closely allied with the former
president. 1rias would probably be
acceptable as president to the
American government, but hope is
still entertained that the United States
will yet recognize Provisional Presi-
dent Estrada.

Portland, Ore, Dec. 20.-In discuss.
ing general railroad conditions of the
country James J. Hill contended that
with the advance in cost of all mate.
rails required for construction and
maintenance of railroads the large
railroad systems of the country are
having trouble to make ends meet
Engineers and trainmen," said Mr.
Hill, "are among the best paid labor.
ers in the country and their wages
have been increased more during the
last few years than those of any other
class of Workmen. For that reason |
think that the possibility of general
strike among these men fs altogether
remote and, in fact, not considered Sc.
riously by the men themselves.
"The recent strike by the switchmen
employed on the Northern railroads
was the result more of rivalry between
two organizations of these employees
than from any other cause The or.
ganization which ordered the walkout
hoped to be successful and in that way
attract to membership all switchmen
employed on the other railroad sys.

of Railway Trainmen But it required
only three days to place this strike

PLAN TO AID SWITCHMEN

II Sympathetic Strike Is Decided on
the representatives of the Unions
In Attendance Could Order Out
Fifty Thousand Men in the Terri
tory Affected-May Appoint Com
mittee to Confer With Railroads Be-
fore Taking Any Action.
st. Paul, Dec. 20-The railway divi-
sion of the American Federation of
Labor is in session at the Foley hotel.
The ten affiliated railroad organiza.
tions, of which the Switchmens union.
now on strike in the Northwest, is
one, are represented. The convention
was called to order with one delegate
from each organization present.
After being in session for some
time President Perham of the confer
ence said that it is impossible at this
time to state what action would be
taken with reference to the switch
mems strike.
1--WE may be in session two or three
days." he said, before we reach any
decision in this matter. We shall go
over all the reports of conditions in
the Northwest and our action will be
guided largely by whatAthey show"
Asked about the rumors of SYM
pathetic strike being ordered Presi-
dent Perham said:
Other Unions Have Grievances.
Il cannot say now that we will or
der a strike. We have authority to
do so, without referring the matter
back to our unions, if we deem it nee
essary. We have some grievances of
our own as to conditions and we have
no contracts with the roads which
would prevent us from ordering
strikes Of the several affiliated unions
IF we decide on strike it would
bring out in support of the switchmen
about $4,000 men all told in that part
Of the Northwest territory affected by
the switchmen's strike.
II cannot say at this time whether
we will appoint committee to confer
with the railroads here before action
is taken by us. Our organization pre-
vented the Southeastern roads in 1908
from enforcing cut of 10 per cent in
the salaries of their employees and
that was our first experience in mat
tiers of this nature. This is our sec.
ond and is the first time that we have
undertaken a strike settlement"
Governor Eberhart has not yet de-
cided whether to ask for a conference
between the railroads and the strikers
with a view to arbitration.

Talks.
BY EDWIN A. NYE.
WHAT IS YOUR LIFE WORTH

Young man. what are you WORTH
If you should die. how much would
the world lose by your death?
OF course If you should die the COM
munity would deplore the death of
"a promising young man." "the hope
of his friends" etc. / do not mean
this sort Of loss.
How much is your life worth In
cash?
Experts have figured it all out Ac-
cording to statistics, the life Of labor
ing man who earns an average wage
of $3.50 per day at the age Of thirty
that is, when a laborer Is most valu-
able-is worth the sum of $3.21703.
That Is to say, when a laboring man
dies at the age of thirty years society
loses $3.21703 of its economic capital
The professional man or the special
list, however, is most useful at the
age of forty years.
When a man who is equipped to
serve the world in these lines dies at
the age of forty the loss to society is
greater. According to the estimate.
there is an economic loss of $13, 207 .4S.
Besides
The value to the world of the labor
ing man grows less after he reaches
the age Of thirty years. The value Of
the professional man or specialist, on
the other hand. remains about the
same until he is fifty years Of age.
After fifty his value grows less.
To illustrate
Take the laboring man at the age
of sixty-f1ve. His value to society IS
small. From being worth $3,217.O3 at
thirty bis value has decreased until
he is worth only S59467.
But the specialist is still quite valu-
able at sixty-five. He is worth almost
half as much as he was at forty or. to
give the figures, $13, 207. As.
When l speak of special education 1
do not necessarily mean college educa-
ton. The speciality may be that of a
breeder or an inventor as well as that
of doctor or a lawyer
The way to make yourself more val
liable to the world, to your friends,
to yourself. is to educate yourself to
do something better than the average
man can do it.
For the world of today is asking not
so much
What do you know?
1t is asking more than all else
What can you DO?
