SUNFLOWER PHILOSOPHY.

If you are not saving a portion of
your salary, no matter how small it
is, you are not following in the foot
steps of your rich uncle.

whist and attend receptions should be
as ashamed of herself as a man who

When woman gets married it is not
because she loves anybody, but because
she wants to get a red lamp shade
and a house of her own in which to
"entertain."

sent three weeks. During his absence
his wife and daughter will remain at
home, eating almost nothing, wear al
most nothing and have a better time.

can't save it; don't give it to agents
for something you don't want, and
then feel like fool afterward.

SETTING His Own House In Order.

One of the delegates to the new Chi
cago Building Trades council says
there is an impression that States
Attorney Wayman must purify tn"
labor movement in Chicago. l believe
that the job can be done only by the
men inside the unions. We do not
need outsiders to set our house in or
der We can do it ourselves, and I
believe we have started out in the
right way"
That is emphatically true. No labor
organization, or organization of any
kind, and no community can be puri-
fled from without The impulse may
come from without, but if there is 10
be effective publication it must be the
work of insiders.
The indictment and conviction of
skinny" Madden was an alarm bell.
1t awakened labor men to the fact that
conditions were bad and that there was
need of reform. But for that awaken
ing comparatively little would have
been accomplished. AS it is, the labor
men have set out to clean house. and
the indications are that they will do it
thoroughly Eleven unions are now
represented in the new council. Others
will join them, and each addition will
be a blow dealt to skinny" Madden

A more encouraging sign of tbs
times has not been noticed in many
years. The honest laboring man has
at last awakened to the fact that he
can accomplish nothing when he is
plundered on the one side by an un-
scrupulous employer and on the othe,
by the traitorous representative in labor
councils. Few deny that there is merit

Exit the Trapper.

The forward march of civilization
has reached the wilds of the Canadian
North and trappers report that their
business is rapidly becoming UNI
profitable on account of the frequency
of the settlements. This state of affairs
is to be expected and the wonder is
that the situation has not become
more acute long ago. 1t is remark
able that the business has continued
profitable.
History has repeated itself in this
as in all other things. The advance
guard of civilization was years be-
hind a class of hardy trappers who
earned their livelihood in the solitude
of the forests by taking animals for
their furs. AS civilization advanced
the number of trappers became larger
and the amount of game diminished
until there was no longer a profit to
be had from the business. 1t began
with Maine and Massachusetts and
continued to the westward until the
United States was no longer ten
able for the trapper The Hudson
Bay Company preserved the frozen
north of Canada for half a CEN
tury after the United States had
ceased to be a profitable hunting
ground, but the onward march of the
railroads and the ever restless wave
of homeseekers has at last advanced
to the very outposts of the Hudson
Bay territory. Gold and wheat have
been the lode stones and the trapping
business suffers
Where will we get our furs in the fu-
ture? We will raise them. For
farming, skunk farming, cat farming
and the hundred and one other kinds
of animal raising will take the place
of the trapper and his gun. Other
fur bearing animals will soon be
taught to eat out of the hand of man
just as the domestic animals of the
farm have been doing for centuries.
Man will simply enlarge his control
of the lower animals, enlarge his con-
troll over the fur bearing as well as the
food bearing animals

FOREIGN Dissatisfaction.

France and Germany grumble that
the new tariff law is not as favorable
to their interests as was the Dingley
law That is too bad, but strange as
it may seem the new tariff law was
| not formed for the purpose of helping
the industries of France and Germany.
Doubtless that point has escaped our
friends across the Atlantic. The
tariff bill is now law and we opine
that France and Germany will make
the best of it and sell just as much of
market for. They need American
trade more than we need French or
German trade, though it is indis-
putable that a mutual exchange of
trade is to the advantage of all con-
cerned. There have been threats of
a tariff war. They will hardly ma
terialize, for the two countries named
cannot afford any such foolishness
1t would doubtless cost America some
thing to enter into such contest, but
it would cost France and Germany
more. Trade wars are almost as ex-
pensive as the most sangunary con-
flicts.
The United States is in command of
at it. Europe needs us more than we
need Europe. The great production of
food stuffs in the United States en-
ables our country to dictate, in a meas
ure, the status of her relations with
her neighbors. 1t has not always been
so and with the raising OF vast
quantities of wheat and corn in
Canada and in Asia there is little
doubt but that the advantage will be
somewhat neutralized in the coming
years, but for the present it exists and
is recognized. France alone used
$50, 100000 in raw cotton from the
United States last year and France
can never hope to raise that product
1t is the same of many similar
products. 1t is easily believed that
within the next few months foreign
manufacturers with goods to sell to
Americans will accept the tariff as
they find it and devote their energies
to getting all the American money
they can with minimum Of return,
just as in the past

The Army and Navy.

When Jobs are plentiful and wages
high Uncle Sam knows it first of all.
for the number of men enlisting in his
army and navy falls off in marked
manner. Highly colored posters and
persuasive recruiting officers with
glowing tales of the life to be had I'M
der the Stars and Stripes avail little
against the lure of wages once week
and unrestricted personal liberty. All
the inducements of army or naval life
pale before these things. With the de-
crease in enlistments comes a corre-
spending increase in the number OF I'M
wise young men who take French leave
of their employer.
Few realize the extent to which the
personnel of the army and navy rank
and file has been improved since the
enactment of the Dick bill. There is
now an opportunity for bright young
man in either branch of the service to
acquire a splendid physique, a clear
head. steady and healthful habits, a
trade and a bank account in Uncle
Sans service, few of which things he
will acquire when left ia work out his
own ends. Promotion from the ranks
is no longer an impossibility or an un-
heard of incident in military life. West
Point and Annapolis still graduate
large classes of specially trained Off
GERS who are assumed to know much
that the man who rises from the ranks
has no opportunity to learn, but as
matter of fact the practical schooling
acquired by a man who has served In
the ranks is often more than the West
Point or Annapolis training.
In the coast artillery and in the navy
electricity enters into the everyday life
of the apprentice and he rapidly re-
ceives a practical training in electric
ity which he could never acquire else
where, except in a first-class technical
school. 1t is impossible to learn just
how many young electricians of good
standing in this country got the ground
work of their expert knowledge on
board of one of Uncle Sans war ships
or in one of his coast defence forts, but
it is known that the number is consid-
cradle and that one and all are making
good. Practical work is combined with
lessons from the best text books under
instructors in such a way
that few who have the disposition to
master the subject, failed to do so.
The day has gone forever when the
navy or army can be used as reform
school for young men who have caused
trouble at home. Army and naval Of
fccrs have made it point to resent the
of some judges of minor
courts to use the service instead of the
for the reformation of
young criminals and have had wonder
full success in building up a public
sentiment to support them. That is as
il should be.
Times of prosperity are times of trial
for the recruiting officers. but more and
more young men are soberly and de-
liberately choosing the army or navy
for life work and going into it with
the determination to stay. The per-
of American born young men
in the service has increased wonder
FULLY in the past few years and moth
ars no longer greet the suggestion that
her hoy join the army or navy with
that such a career is a
wasted life.
