FARMS FOR WARRANTS.

An innovation in dealing with the tramp
problem has been suggested by a legislator OF thu
Empire state in bill introduced i'm the Legislative
assemble, of that state 1t is nothing more or les
than tramp farm for the hoboes who, either from
choice or necessity lead wandering lives with mo-
steady or remuuerative employment. The New
York scheme is to establish two classes of farms.
to which will be sent those who arrested i'm
cities on charges Of vagrancy. The first class will
be for those who would work if they had work to
do and those who. on account of physical dISabl-
itv. are compelled to choose between the road and
the poorhouse and select the road, and the other
class will be for the professional. abe-bodled
"hobo7 who never works unless compelled to- Those
who are arrested and sent up to the farms Of the
first class Will be privileged to leave the farm at
any time they can see a chance of lettering their
condition; those sent to the second class will be
compelled to serve a determinate number Of days
or months. as the committing magistrate sees fit
to impose.
1t is believed that the farms will work for the
good of both classes of hoboes the first by giving
employment to those who need it, and the second
by compelling work to be performed, depending up
on a hope-vain, perhaps-that honest labor will
bring about reformation. 1t is urged in support
of the scheme that the farms easily become
self-sustaining, and that the work performed by
those committed will return a moderate wage to
them 1t is proposed to establish the farms
lands that have run out or lands of rather in
ferior quality and to build up the farms and make
them productive.
The scheme is not altogether new, as several
European countries have tried it, and it is said to
have met with success in Holland, Belgium and
Switzerland. 1t is said that many men have made
application for positions the farms of the first
class in those countries and that it is not consd
cred a disgrace to work there. Indeed the dis
grace attaches to the who will not work there
when he has nothing else to do. In Europe the
results are said to have been all for good and the
experiment in New York, if the farms are estab-
lished, will be watched with interest by other
states, and especially by the people of cities where
tramps are wont to congregate, and where idleness
leads many of them into crime

OLD AGE PENSIONS.

Great Britain and Ireland are now under an
oldage pension act which went into effect the first
of the year. Laying aside the socialistic tendency
indicated by the enactment of such law and tax
ing up the matter it is, we find that all persons
residents for twenty years British subjects whose
incomes have not exceeded So week, and who
have not had poor relief within year nor been
under sentence of penal servitude for ten years
previous and of the age of seventy are entitled
to the pension. The amount of the pension is de-
pendent upon the means Of the applicant, and runs
from 25 cents to $1.25 a week.
When the matter of annual cost came up in the
British parliament, Premier Asquith presumably
after investigation, assumed that 100000 persons

REWARDS FOR LABOR.

The man who thinks he and his efforts are un-
appreciated usually has pretty good opinion of
the value of the things he does as well as of him
self. Indeed, the condition Of mind which makes a
man feel that he and his efforts are not rated at
their true valuation by his employer friends is
most natural in an ambitious man; without that
idea, or with idea that he is getting all he is
worth, there would result stagnation and lack of
progressive effort So we rather admire man
whose honesty is such as to permit him to do his
best even if his work is not received by his en-
ployer at the same valuation he places upon it.
In the mind of the worker for wages in this siren
uous time, the work he performs is worth just
much he get for it, whether the wage is set
by the valuation placed upon 1t by the employer
by the necessity of the man who does the work. 1t
is not an gnoble attribute to want payment for
services rendered but it is mistake to permit the
personal estimate of the value of the work per-
formed to occupy too much time of the mind of
the worker. In fact brooding the unapprecia-
tive world and feeling sorrowful for ones own I'M
appreciated efforts is very unwholesome We ought
all to learn to work honestly and to the best of our
ability without thought for the rewards coming
and try to be somewhat content to escape criticism
rather than to secure praise. For the man who
escapes criticism in the busy world may be said
to have earned pretty good share of praise,
though it is principally negative. An honest man
knows when he has done an honest thing: knows
when his days work will stand the inspection of
his SUPERIOR and the receipt of his stipulated wage
ought to be sufficient to make the work of the NOR
row appear inviting.
But there is another side to the question of re-
ward for labor. Too many employers are wont to
accept the doing of things Jas matter of course
and to make little allowance for faithfulness and
devotion to duty. Surely the faithful doing of set
tasks day in and day out, even if there is no i'm
provement in the doing from year to year. is en-
titled to some recognition. And the doing of
things well, and improving the methods of work and
the results are surely entitled to a reward of per-
which the unfaithful employe may see and envy
There are mighty few honest workers in the world
who would not be benefited by honest appreciation.
and there are mighty few shirks whose jealousy
would not tempt them to greater effort if they saw
an extra prize hung up for them to strive for A
life of toll with nothing tangible to show for ii.
is very poor example to set before the young man
starting out in the world to win his way Right at
the beginning such examples have a tendency TO
dishearten and discourage. If the rewards for
years of faithful service are so meager as to pre-
vent ease and comfort in the declining years. the
young man can see no incentive for extra effort

work in the endeavor to perfect the two systems
of communication, and it would be presumptuous
to say that either will eventually be dropped as
impractical. The one great difficulty to be over
come is the likelihood of interference with the
transmission of either kind of message, and until
this is accomplished there is no great danger of
the wireless supplanting present means of commu-
nication ON land

WASHINGTON, March 4.-The
first chief executive to take the oath
OF Office in the chamber of the senate
in seventy-six years was William H.
Taft, who today became president of
the United States.
Accompanied to the capitol
through a whirl of binding snow by
President Roosevelt and guard of
honor, Taft returned to the white
house just as the sun began to force
it's way through the clouds. The sud
den blizzard sweeping in from the
northwest last night caused the aban-
donment of the outdoor ceremonies
on the famous east front of the capt.
tol, much to Taft's chagrin, and
threatened for a time to stop the
brilliant pagent of the afternoon.
However, a passage was cleared
along the center of Pennsylvania ave-
nue. and for nearly three hours Pres
ident Taft and Vice President Sher-
man reviewed the passing column,
which was replete with martial
splendor and picturesque in. civic dis
play
Following the inaugural ceremon-
les in the senate Theodore Roose-
welt, again private citizen, bade an
affectionate adieu to his successor
while all in the historic chamber
locked on in silence, Then he hur-
ried away through the side door to
take the train for New York.
At the station, Roosevelt declared
that while he had "a bully time" as
president he was glad to lay down
the duties of his Office. He praised
his successor and especially com.
mented upon the latter's inaugural
address as splendid effort.
President and Mrs. Taft were the
center of interest at the eliminating
feature of the day, the inaugural bal
in the pension building.
While the ball was in progress the
display of fireworks on the monu
1uent lot in the rear of the white
house marked the end of the out
door celebration. Prior to his visi
to the ball President Taft had enter
tained at tea in the white hous,

dent Roosevelt.
Taft was deeply disappointed. when
the outdoor. ceremony was abandon
ed. 1t was deemed dangerous to
force upon the aged members of the
supreme court, senate and diplomatic
corps the jeopardy of long exposure
to the elements Not since Andrew
Jackson's second inauguration had a
president taken the oath in the SEN
ate chamber At his first inaugural
Jackson protested against an indoor
ceremony when SO many fellow citi-
zens had gathered outside the capt.
tol, so followed by all his distin-
guished company he proceeded to the
portico of the east front and there
took the oath of Office and delivered
his inaugural address. His second
introduction to office was marred by
stormy weather and he was forced to
take the oath insideA
The inaugural ceremonies were
formally begun when Vice President
Fairbanks in farewell address de-
clared the sixtieth congress at an
end. Turning then to Mr.. Sherman,
who had been escorted to place be-
side him, he administered to his sue
cessor the oath of Office and turned
over to him the gavel.
Sherman in rapping the senate to
order in the special session of the
sixty-first congress made a brief ad-
dress and then followed the swearing
in of many new senators. This com.
pleted Vice President Sherman said:
''The chief justice will now admin.
lister the oath of Office to the presi.
dent-elect.' After this ceremony
Taft delivered his inaugural address

S@S-SSAe~sSA
WASHINGTON, March All
most from time immemorial, the
newly inducted president of the
United States has reviewed the in
augural parade from stand in
| front of the white house. 1t is 1T
ting that this should be made the
local point of the great function.
Here, from Fifteenth street to Seven
teenth street on Pennsylvania ave-
nue., the Taft inaugural committee
has designed court of honor, which,
in symbolical effect and beauty of
construction, surpasses all previous
efforts in street decorative work in
the national capitol
This work has been the particular
care of the committee on street dec
orations, of which E. w. Dunn, Jr.,
Is the chairman. Associated with
him are many architects of national
repute. They have collaborated and
after much study have produced a
scheme which is masterpiece of
architectural art.
In nearly every instance hereto
fore, the criticism has been that the
decorations of the court honor were
toe sombre. There was not enough
of the character of the celebration of
victory, not enough of the character
Of Joyous beginning of an eventful
era. This has been avoided in the
present court of honor. The decora-
tors have expressed admirably their
idea. The result is superb decora-
tive scheme, beautiful in. design and
finish, and thoroughly typical of the
strength and prosperity of the coun-
try.
| From Fifteenth street to Seven
teenth street there is a stretch of
about 1900 feet, Pennsylvania ave-
nue., between these points, is inter-
sected by two cross streets, Madison
place on the east of the axis of the
white house and Jackson place on
the west. On the axis of the white
house and directly in front of it is
the presidents reviewing stand, ac-
lcommodating approximately 5000
people, and opposite it is the Lafa-
yette square stand, accommodating
about 5000 people. The stands are
designed artistically. and. although
oi'ly temporary. are In keeping with
the architectural treatment of the
court OF honor.
Venetian masts, surmounted with
gilded baskets bearing greenery and
tiewers and festooned with gaily col.
ored sireamers. extend the entlrs
