A Case of DELAYED Instioe.

At a recent meeting of the Society
Of the United States Military Tele-
graph Corps in its twenty-eighth an
nual reunion at Pittsburg, the presi-
dent of the association, William B.
Wilson, arraigned congress most Sc
verely for its failure to accord the
same recognition given the men be-
hind the guns" to the boys behind
the keys" who marched side by side
with them, partaking with them the
prlvations, h%ardships and dangers in
separable from the life of a soldier in
the field.
1T is a disgrace" declares Presi-
dent Wilson, Ito every administration
of the national government which has
been installed and of every congress
which has met in the last forty-six
years that that neglect should be con-
tinued to this day. Most of the boys
have passed to their heavenly reward,
whilst the remainder of the old guard,
less than 200 in number, see their
hopes for Justice being dealt out to
them grow fainter as the years go by
bringing the tomb closer to them"
He goes on to explain that the an
tagontsm to the legislation demanded
by the veterans Of the military tele-
graph is based on the ~fallacious
ground that they were civil employees
of the government and are to be CLASH
fed with railroad engineers, con-
ductors. bTakemen, teamsters, quarter
masters, clerks and other civil en-
ployes, and this, Notwithstanding that
the telegraph operator has been, by
act OF congress, given the right to hon
orable discharge, which purely civilian
employees could never claim. While
congress has failed to put members of
the Military Telegraph corps on a PEN
sionable basis, Andrew Carnegie, who
himself served in the corps, has pro-
Vided for a pension to those who are
absolutely needy equal to the service
pension of SIP per month.
The shabby treatment by congress
of the men who laid the wires on the
battlefield and SEN messages which
saved armies reflects no credit on the
gratitude of republics. AS intimated
in their presidents address, it is now
almost too late to grant any adequate
Legislative relief, except to a few
struggling survivors. Patriotic citi-
zens who believe in justice to all who
risked their lives on the battlefield in
defense of the union will, however,
hope that congress will respond at the
very next session before the edge of
time cuts off the few that are still liv-
ing.

THE SPIRIT OF UNREST.
A Few on Those who Prefer
Kicking to Pushing,

A Few Remarks on Those Who Prefer
Kicking to Pushing.
Charleston News and Courier.
We hear a great deal these days about
the spirit Of unrest which It is claimed pre-
walls to a greater or less degree in nearly
every quarter of the gl9bS Undoubtedly
there is, and we suppose there always has
been, among some persons a certain dissat-
isfaction with what life offers them, a
tendency toward undertaking their own
blessings while overestimating the more
fortunate condition Of their fellow-men.
There are many bright men and women in
this world so circumstance that their
natural talents have never found the proper
channel. Under more fortunate conditions
success instead of failure would have
marked their lives. but, possibly. 1t is I'M
questionably true that even given the iden-
teal opportunities and advantages in every
respect the mar who is forever belittling
his neighbours achievements would never
have duplicated that neighbours success.
So much depends upon a mans mental
grasp of his own life problem and his abil-
ity to recognize and make the most of his
God-given opportunities, that 1t is well nigh
impossible to estimate what measure of
SUCCESS one man Woulo nave attained IN
another mEn's place. However, the world
is full of malcOntents whose lives spell fall
.ure-those who have "soured on life" as It
we're, and who, feeling that they have been
unfairly treated through no fault OF theirs,
make no well directed efforts TO retrive
their fortunes. These persons will never
play any important part in the development
Of the worlds material growth, or con-
tribute anything to the betterment Of So
clal conditions.

American Nerves.

Prof. Muensterberg, who came over
from Germany to Harvard a few years
ago, is young enough to gather i'm
pressions easily and to retain a per-
fectly healthy sense of humor. He is
remembered by magazine readers for
throwing a little bombshell into
h~ygienics when he declared that the
fatigue and breakdown of the typical
American from hustle and overwork
is pure fiction. His observation, on
the contrary, leads him to believe that
no nation is so wasteful of time, 50
liberal in vacations, so generous in
giving leisure to women and children.
Comparatively few Americans know
what II Is to work steadily until a task
is completed, and nearly all of them
are ready to find an excuse to take a
rest.
In another essay this recklessly
plain-spoken German now says that
the craze for physical exercise is moth
ing but an affectation. Americans are
not and never we're v wrecks.
Strong muscular exertion is not
needed and as a remedy 1t is useless.
In strong doses it is seriously harm
full. To be a slave to gymnastic exer-
else is as bad as to be a slave to cigars.
There is only one source Of restitution
of used-up brain energy, and that is
rest and sleep, together with fresh air
and good n~ourishment.
Prof. Muensterberg takes away with
a heartless laugh a swarm of our IA
vorite cures and remedies. He assures
us that there is not the slightest use
for our hygienic furry. Americans
are as healthy as anybody and have
grown healthier as they have obtained
more and better foods and comforts.
Nervous diseases have become less
general. The avage has marked
nervous instability and more nervous
weaknesses than the civilized man,
partly because he is not we'll nour-
ished and partly because his under
standing is not trained. Actual break
ing down from overwork is the rarest
of diseases and generally manifests
itself in those who suffer from under
work and take too much time for
thinking about coming prostration.
DR.. Muensterberg does not add to
his popularity in America by publish
ing these observations, but there will
be little doubt among trained patholo-
gists hat he is administering a whole
some tonic. The best science Ameri-
"a could learn would be to STOP
thinking about diseases and to stoI
having them before they come. II
would be a decided help to capacity
for work If they would cultivate pleas.
ure in purposeful effort and seek Joy
in results. Without work one can sooI
lose the power of work and then it is
a real hardship. The person who
cherishes thought of the time wher
he can retire from work is on the
wrong track. The hygienist Of this
day knows that length of life is closely
associated with the prolongation of en-
ergized habits of effort.
These things the plain speech o
DR.. Muensterberg either points out o.
points to. 1t is wholesome for Ameri
cans to be told that few men or womer
know much about nerve functions. 1
is safe for them to act on Muenster
berg's hint that they know too mucl
already for their good.

The New York Independent, which
used to be classed among the rock
ribbed Of the religious press, ridicules
the British ban on marriages with a
deceased wife's sister with the declara-
ton that there is no Bible against
them, and If there were a Mosaic pro-
hibition, it would have no more valid
ity than the command to sprinkle the
ashes of a red heifer." If they want
company in heresy, we invite attention
to this of Prof. Foster and President
Eliot.

What will become Of this institution

ton: What is accumulated by he
worlds ordered processes will be In
time divided, subdivided and scattered
by the same processes. The institu-
ton is so vast that Rockefeller is the
helpless creature of rules, forces and

haps will live to become the worlds
first Millionaire, but there will be no
permanent change on the face of ma
ture or in the fates Of men.

A Roar from the slots.

Coin designers, like artists In general.
lack the practical sense. h designer OF
the Lincoln cent never thought Of meas
uTing the slots in automatic telephones and
selling machines. Two very serious com
plants against the new coin are that II
will not fit the slots in the selling ma
chimes, and that it will perform the func-
lions of a nickel o. the automatic tele-
phones. The telephone companies, however,
are taking measures TO instruct their IN
telligent machines so that they will dis
criminate between a new cent and an old
nickel.
