The College Man in Business.

calaureate ermons and graduating adj
dresses is bringing forth the usual ad-
monitions to the young man about to
step out from college, warning him of
the pitfalls of the business world and
inspiring him with the thought that
what has brought about the mischief
is the scarcity of college men In bust
ness life.
In the baccalaureate sermon at
Princeton President Woodrow Wilson
read a lecture on Duty" in which he
complained, with some Justice. that
the practice everywhere is too preva-
lent of trying to do the least for the
most money. He admitted, 1t is true,
that even in college some students are
found who try to get their diplomas
with the least possible effort, thinking
they are thus cheating the college, but
in fact cheating themselves, and still
the drift of his words is to stimulate
the idea that the world is waiting for
the college graduate to lift 1t to a
higher plane in all its various lines Of
business and professional activity.
without ~lessening the force Of all
this good advice, the college graduate
should nonetheless be reminded that
there have been classes graduated be-
fore his and that the positions Of lead
ership have for the most part been oc-
cupied all the time by men with good
schooling, II not with college educa-
tions. If there have been abuses in
the business world, if the game has
been overplayed, as President Wilson
would express 1t, 1t has not been be-
u there we're no college graduates
at hand to call a halt. Among the
captains of industry who have turned
the tricks calling to be reformed there
are probably as many who have gone
through college as there are of those
who have not had the advantages Of
such an education.
It goes without saying that the col
lege man entering the career of busi-
ness or of professionalism should work
toward high ideals, but he must not
forget that he will have to accommo-
date himself to existing conditions and
that improvement will have to come,
not by overnight revolution, but by
the slow process of evolution. This
would be just as true If every man in
the business world carried a college
diploma.

Ianan a Fnllhedred Nation.

japan is preparing to cast aside the
last Of its national swaddling clothes
and take its place with the other ma
tions Of the world. Up to the close
Of the war with Russia Japan recog-
nized the extra-territorial rights of
foreign consuls and ministers to try
citizens of their own country accused
of crime in Japan. This right had
been granted years before when japan
was a kindergarten student of modern
governmental methods, but it's prog
ress had been so great that It insisted
on and secured the abolition of this
concession. The commercial treaties
negotiated at that time, however, still
recognized the principle Of extra
territoriality and permitted partial
foreign supervision over the nations
internal commerce. These treaties
have a little over a year yet to run
and provide for n years notice to
terminate them, but discussion in
Japan already makes 1t certain that
this notice will be given and the last
relic Of outside domination removed.
The step is not only a development
of nationality, but is important COM
mercially to all nations having trade
relations with Japan. New treaties
must be negotiated and these will
doubtless revolutionize the foreign
trade. AS a ~sidelight the trend of
Japanese thought toward a strong pro-
tective policy is notable. Its leading
statesmen are advocating a tariff al
most exclusive, unless modified by
reciprocal treaty concessions, and 1t is
apparent hat the nation which Sc
cures Japanese trade must be willing
and able to give a guild pro quo.
Japan has progressed wonderfully
in manufactures and world commerce,
particularly since the war with China,
and it's commercial ambition is bound
less. It's diplomats are as shrewd as
any and in negotiating these COM
mercial treaties may be expected to
hold their own with the best. With
the termination of the old agreements
Japan will cease to be a nation ad-
hitting superiority of any other ma
ton in mutual relations and inter-

broadening the Conference idea.

A year ago last April President
Roosevelt summoned a conference Of
state governors at Washington to con-
slider the question Of the conservation
of the natural of the nation,
and the governors met again in De-
subject. 1t is now proposed that the
governors shall meet this coming De-
cember in conjunction with the Ma
tional Civic Federation and other sim
liar bodies and that the scope of the
deliberations be greatly enlarged. The
meetings of last year gave an acknowl-
edged impetus to the conservation
idea and, what is fully as important,
harmonized some influences which
had been working at cross purposes.
1t helped dispel the provincialism
which overlooked the needs of distant
sections and gives hope of a compre-
hensive plan for cooperation.
The National Civic Federation is
working for uniform laws, psrticu-
larly those affecting business that
crosses state lines. Interstate bust
ness has become so vast that radical
differences in law and commercial
practices in the various states consti-
tute a serious obstacle which can be
removed only by concerted action, for
If uniformity is secured 1t must first
be determined what is desired and all
effort be directed toward a single
goal. The gathering of such bodies
Of representative men focuses public
attention upon the subject and the
wide publicity given the discussions
brings their importance home to all
the people,

Immigrants and the Farm.

One of the great problems In the
United States is the assimilation of
the immigrant and this is compli-
Gated by the tendency Of the new
corners to settle in congested labor
centers. Here they are largely
grouped by nationalities and often
compelled ito live in surroundings
neither healthful nor uplifting. This
is particularly true of those from
southern Europe, who seldom seek the
farms, though many of them at home
lived in rural districts. immigration
statistics show that over 1,0OO,O 600 of
that class have arrived In this coun-
try since 1901.
The reasons impelling the immi-
grant to remain in the city are va
ried, but 1t is not because the farm
does not need them. From one end OF
the country to the other there has
been a demand for farm labor, ever
when stagnation prevailed in the in
dustrial centers. In addition there is
ample opportunity for the immigrants
to engage in farming on their own
account and this is not confined to the
west.
The report OF the New York COM
missioner of agriculture shows a de-
crease Of 1883 farms in that state
in the last twenty years, and that this
is not accounted for by consultations
is proved by the great decrease in
farm products. The same condition
exists all over the east n the farm
ers explain it as due to lack of labor
to till the land. The farmers sons
have gone west or to the city and i'm
migration has not supplied their
place.
The New York commissioner OF
agriculture recommends that bureaus
be established to acquaint the immi-
grants with the opportunities in agri-
cultural sections. both for the saliva
ton Of the farmer and the good Of the

Identifying Cities.

The cost Of a city beautiful Is some
thing enormous, but aside from the
education and inspiration It affords its
residents, Paris has demonstrated that
1t pays. How much the public Inn
provements In Paris had cost up to
the time of the second empire no one
knows, but 1t was many millions. Un-
der Baron Eugene Haussmann's direc-
ton Napoleon III spent $500,000,00o
to make Paris the most beautiful city
In the world, and additional expendi-
lures have been made on no mean
scale ever since. Now 1t is proposed
to spend $135. 200, 900 more In carry
ing out a systematic plan of beauti1ca-
ton, the municipal council having al
ready approved the plans and appro-
priated the money.
Under Baron Haussmann nothing
was permitted to stand in the way of
his plans. Private property was
taken, streets cut through where val
liable buildings stood and everything
made to conform to the best ideals.
The result is that no European trav-
eler thinks Of emitting a trip to Paris.
The annual influx Of visitors and the
money they spend to Paris
what the rise of the Nile does to the
Egyptian husbandman. 1t pays the
biggest rate of interest of any invest
ment made by the thrifty Frenchman.
Under Boss Shepherd millions were
expended to make Washington beauti-
full and symmetrical, and It is now far

sums for municipal Identification, but

mony hat it cannot be compared to

west can hardly afford to spend such
vast sums for Identification. but they
certainly can avoid the mistakes In
city-making which render beautifca-
tion in the future either impossible or
excessively costly.
