be properly called growlers. II the
the sun shines, they growl, and, IL it
is cloudy, they find a cause to growl.
Nothing suits. They grow fat on
growing. Crops are never large
enough to suit them.
This Is a very unhappy condition
to be in. The world is full of good
things. The sun shines, the birds
sing, the rains come, seed time and
harvest never fail. and yet with all
these blessings we have the growl.
A pleasant sunny disposition cures
a good many ills, and makes the
world go along smoothly. If you
have troubles, think about them as
little as possible and feel thankful
they are no worse.
Onehalf of our troubles are imagin-
airy and do not amount to anything.
"As a man thinketh, so he is" Then
the better way is to think right and
you will be happy.
So argues the editor of the Sterling
(Kan) Bulletin and this paper is in
hearty accord with his sentiments

a DIFFICULT JOB

The difficulties of taking the CEN
sus in New Mexico are greater than
in any other commonwealth outside of
Alaska. Not only is the district the
largest in area, but outside of a few
large cities where population is COM
pact and easily reached. New Mexico
comprises the most populous census
district. Even if 500 census enumera-
tors are allotted the territory. each
will have an average of $50 square
miles to cover, which means that
some will have thousand square
miles in which to enumerate the popu-
lation in the two weeks given by
the law. A large part of the territory
Is mountainous and some of the emu

THE pIrrssuRe STRIKE

1t is probable that the workmen
Of the Pressed Steel Car company
had real grievances when they walk
ed out on strike about six weeks
ago. They claim to have struck be-
cause their material surroundings
were undesirable; because the com
pany's works and buildings we're un-
safe. That was sufficient cause to
warrant strike 1t Is noteworthy
that the question Of wages has played
but small part While a demand
was made a few weeks ago for a
raise in the workingmen's schedules.
1t was withdrawn upon the advice of
the leaders, who were shown the
books Of the company. which showed
that the works were not earning suf-
ficient profits to warrant a return to
the 1907 scale. Eight thousand men,
then, have struck because their sur
roundings were not such as would
conduce to safety Of life and limb.
Strange, then, is 1t not, that these
same eight thousand who are so care
ful about their own safety. should
resort to riot and bloodshed to pre-
vent strikebreakers from carrying
on the activities of the plant? For
the last week or ten days human
lives have paid daily ton to the
earnestness of these men. Riots
have been frequent and killings have
been of daily occurrence. Wounded
state troopers being carried to hos
pitfalls for treatment, have been beaten
numerically by the strikers; a dep

WOMAN AND THE OCCUPATIONS.

There has been a considerable
amount OF discussion of late IN the
press and in the magazines in regard
to the number of women who are en-
tering the trades and professions.
Prof. Thomas-who is connected with
the University of Chicago-has been
writing very remarkable. thought
provoking series of articles for the
American magazine and in the Sep
tember issue of this periodical he de-
votes himslef to a consideration on
this subject. Part is as follows:
1T is idle, indeed, to speak of the
exclusion of women from the occupa-
tions. They are entering them from
the top and from the bottom. The
ill-conditioned are being forced into
them and the NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
whom men have been educating while
the use of their education
are already entering them in consider
able numbers at the top. And they
are finding new and characteristic
ways of giving to society that reserve
Of affection and nurture which they
have heretofore reserved for the child
and the home.
I'm the year 1900 there were more
than 100000 women gainfully en-
ployed in the United States Gas
against 23,75S.SS6 menl, the rate OF
Increase between 1890 and 1900 of the
of women so employed was

RockEFELLER's MILLIONS

1t is now estimated that the wealth
of John D. Rockefeller reaches the
sum Of s7oO.OOo,0Oe. This estimate
is made since the recent rise in
stocks in Wall street. In ten years
should he live, the fortune of Mr..
Rockefeller will amount to $1,000
100000. OF course. he cannot use
this immense amount of money, and
he is compelled to call upon others
of intelligence to find ways to en-
ploy the vast sum. In speaking re-
garding Rockefeller, who is called
an institution by the Omaha Bee,
that paper says:
"One of the great world questions
is, what will become of the institu-
tion at his death? Ignoring amounts
that will be devised to his family,
there will be distribution to the
public on an immense scale. AS near
ly as anything. here is the answer
to the question:: What is accumu-
lated by the worlds processes will
be in time divided, subdivided and
scattered by the same processes. The
institution is SO vast that Rockefeller
is the helpless creature of rules,
forces and agreements. He has ex-
listed and perhaps will live to be-
come the worlds first Millionaire,
but there will be no permanent
change on the face of nature or in
the fates of men" Wichita Eagle.

men gainfully employed increased
more rapidly in the decade than the
female population. So whether we
wish it or not. the old order is al
ready changing rapidly 1t is too late
to theorize on this point. 1t means
simply that the old idea that all wo-
men should live on the activities of
men and should limit their own inter
ests to the bearing and rearing Of
children has gone to pieces"

The following interesting review OF
Louis Msnn's work in his new play,
"The Man Who Stood Still" which
he will disclose here on the 23d of
this month should prove of Interest:
John Krauss is an old Swiss
matchmaker. who. in spite of a long
residence in the United States. can
not get over his Old World ideas;
cannot get into the advance current
of life. Gradually his business slips
away from him, ana fewer and fewer
customers come to his basement shop
on the Bowery. His nearest and most
active rival Is Martin MacFerguson,
from the north or Ireland. who sells
American made watches and uses en-
|terprising methods. Krauss has a
daughter, Marie whom he has reared
in strict obedience. she falls in love
with MaeFerguson's son, Frank, an
ordinary type OF East Side youth.
and meets him clandestinely. Krauss
has set his heart on Marie's marrying
Fred Spegel. the son OF an old
friend, who is equally anxious for the
match. Marie has loved Frank too
well, and on the day OF her nine
|teenth birthday she tells him that It
is necessary for him TO marry her at
once Frank, making what seems to
him to be the best OF an unpleasant
scrape. takes the girl away with him,
first robbing the TIL OF In Krauss'
little jewelry shop. Preparations for
a birthday celebration, which Is also
10 be the betrothal feast OF Marie and
Fred, are Interrupted by a note from
the girl announcing her elopement.
Krauss disowns her. and sends his
friends away that he may be alone
| with his sorrow. In the first act
Krauss' jewelry peddler, Joseph
Abrams. a young Russian immigrant,
gives up his work TO take position
lat MacFerguson's In the second act
Joseph has made an advance for him
self and has fallen in love with Alice
Spiegel. The third act occurs several
years later. Marie, deserted by Frank,
has come to live in the Spiegel fam
lily, unknown to her father. Fred
learns from her that she and Frank
were never married. but he still de-
sires to marry her. Joseph, now pro-
prietor OF a large store on Grand
street, is still trying to gain Spiegers
! consent to marry Alice, who shows a
Dissemination to obey her father.
spiegel is finally brought to confess
that the only objection he has to the
young man is his being Jew.
Joseph and Alice agree to marry with
out Spiegel's consent. and the old
man gives IN to them with little
grace. Krauss comes TO play his
