The institution of a school of deport-
ment for saleswomen and other women
Wage-earners in Chicago is interesting
as a symptom of social DEVELOPMENT
How a girl should conduct herself TO-
ward an employer and 10 what extent
she should accept invitations from him
what her demeanor should be toward
fellow-employes Of the other sex: how
she should dress: her attitude toward
car conductors and in public places
these are among the quest lions of etiquet
in which instruction is to be given to
young business women.
No doubt there is field for such a
school. The increased participation Of
women in commercial life has brought
about new relationships. half social,
half business. to which parlor manners
felt thai tire alert PROFESSIONAL staff Of
the University of Chicago has over
looked the need of tuition of this kind
and allowed an outside agency to origi-

But what has become of the American
mother as a teacher of conduct? Once
it was in the home that girls learned
how TO behave. The principles incui-
Gated may have been old-fashioned. bur
they served the demands made upon
them. There is no recollection of a
school or manners for the Lowell far

Pennsylvania as a Wheat State.

From the Oil City Derrick
pennsylvania S wheat crop this year ex-
ceeds 2o.OO1Oo bushels. This is more
than the wheat yield Of Oklahoma and
IS only three million bushels less than
that of Missouri. although those states
talk much of their wheat production
Pennsylvania is such great producer
of other things that its wheat is otter
overlooked-a crop that this year will re.
turn the farmers probably $30OOO.0OO.
But this wheat crop is not more thar
half of what it should have been. The
average yield an acre is only about sew.
enteen bushels. 1t should be close tc
thirty-four bushels. Proper soil analy
sis. fertilization and rotation of crops will
secure thirty bushels to the acre from
almost any Pennsylvania soil. The bes
handling will secure more than that. But
the big yields are had by good farming
only, the kind that Is done by both heaG
and hand. One farming need OF Penn
syilvania is more intense cultivation: 9th

The removal of the old wooden bridge

tendencies of the times. 1t may yet be a
sign of advancing years TO remember one
OF the barnlike wooden bridges which in
the days OF cheap lumber were widely
seen. The steel structure is more attrac-
tive and cleanly: IL gives the traveller a
view of the river. But the picturesque

The Real Pauper and Socialism.
From, the London Spectator.


Pauper labor. like slave labor. is almost
worthless Support for this dictum is
found in the recent experiences of the
London county council in its efforts to
provide work for the unemployed. Work
was done this winter in the London parks
to the value of S39. 900. 1t cost the cen
tral unemployed body to accomplish this
no less than 1896. In other words,
work which laborers hired in the open
market and paid high wages could have
done for s39. 900 cost s2o7 100 more when
done by the unemployed-that is. by men
who knew that they would not be dis
charged If they idled, and who had no
interest in their work, hut only in their
wages. That, we venture to say. is the
type of.work which will be universal when
the state is the sole employer and when
men do not choose their own form Of
work, but have it found for them by that
beneficial despot."

Special Correspondence of The Star and the
Chicago Record-Hcrald.
BOISE CITY, Idaho. August u. 1909.
Harry Orchard, who tied the dyna
mite bomb to Gov. Steunenberg's gate
at Caldwell, and on the witness stand
confessed to twenty-scven murders. is
still in the penitentiary here. employed
in the shoe-shop, where he has become
quite proficient at the trade. His SEN
tence of death was commuted to life
Imprisonment by former Gov. Gooding,
although he insisted upon being hanged,
because. he argued, such a penalty was
necessary foI the expiation Of his
crimes and should be imposed in order
to furnish an example and warning for
others. Gov. Gooding's reasons for
committing the sentence were to graf
ify public sentiment and to keep Or
chard as a witness against a man
named Simpkins.
though a reward of $1,000 has been Of
fered for him. Suspects are brought in
periodically by jealous detectives, both
professional and amateur, but they have
never found the right man yet.
Orchard is a model prisoner and exer-
cises a good influence. although few of
the other prisoners will have anything
to do with him, not because of his in
fanny. but because he is an informer.
He occupies very humiliating situa-
ton. and talks frankly about 1t. He
told me that he hoped to gain the re-
spect and confidence of his fellow.pris-
oners sooner or later. and admits that
their antipathy to him is natural and
justified. He considers himself the
greatest of sinners. and said that no
humiliation or contempt could be too
severe for his deserts. He is willing
to bear everything and do everything in
the way OF atonement and eXpiation Tor
his crimes. He is in state of re-
ligious exaltation. like the penitents
and zealots of the middle ages. Those
who have had the best opportunity to
watch him consider his conversion gen.
uine and no sentimental interest affects
public opinion. When his case came
to the point OF pardon or the penalty
of death the people Of Boise and this
part of the state were entirely indiffer-
