SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, March 20.
"A pretty 16-year-old girl is con-
quering the United States navy.
Her weapons are not guns nor tor
,pedOes but poems and lectures for
the uplifting of the American
Jackie" and her prize is a place
in the heart of each of Uncle Sans
fighting seamen.
Miss Adeline E. Libby, daughter
of Captain D. B. Libby of Fruitvale,
Cal, the first discoverer of gold in
Nome, is the proud conqueror of
the bluejackets.
On the arrival of every battleship
into San Francisco bay, Miss Libby
pays it a visit and lectures to the
men on board, giving them counsel
and trying, in her girlish way. to
elevate them, morally and socially.
Her ideals she links with nat
ural talent for verse writing. She
is the author of THE Nays
Friend" the first book of poems
ever to be published dealing entire
ly with the navy. She visits the
marine hospitals and gives out good
cheer to those who have fallen ill
while standing ready to defend their
country.

ing the American sailors" says the

Andy bases his action moral and commercial grounds
This is unfortunate HE SHOULD HAVE CUT OUT
THE MORALITY.
The morality is in the matter, all right, but morality
dOesn count with corporations heads of corporations
Corporations have souls and they recognize souls in
body Anything done by corporations for the morality OF
employees by force of law. Business business and
the corporation that would undertake to fore
go cash and declare dividends in morality would lose
its head.
But suppose that Carnegie, who every other corpora
ton ruler in the land knows afford morality had given
pointed, cearcu demonstration Of his conviction of the
commercial value of day of rest Would not his example
have strongly appealed to other employers? He
could have honestly said that workman is worth more In
dollars and cents and dividend producer when given
the consideration given mule dray horse
He could have declared that it dOesn pay to use work
up before he is 40 years DID, and that grinding
that he gets rest chance to improve mentally
and socially, chance to progress, is mighty faulty
financial policy
Mr. Carnegie may have large, scntlatng assortment
of moral ideas, but if he desires to practically influence
other captains of industry he should talk cash. In
corporation management there's hardly enough morality
to keep the management out OF JAIL let alone enough to
effect any radical change in methods.
That which Carnegie has done for his steel workers
good thing Then will be profitable to Carnegie
and better in way Other employers OF vast bodies
of workmen and workwomen and workchdren, ought to
follow suit and they perhaps would could they see profit

Will Try Once More To Get

The fastest trotter. by the records,

horse, one OF the most sensational.
also one OF the most unlucky, that the
turf has ever seen, was unable 70 get
to the post during 1909 owing to lame
ness the result of a breakdown IN
1908. He had been shifted to the
pace. in the hope that, as that gait Is
easier upon an ailing leg than The
trot. he might stand up at it, but the
hope proved fallaclous. He hung out
the danger signal before the stable
was shipped away 10 the races, in early
June, and was at once thrown out or
training. After a long let-up he was
then put at road work. which he did
all the late summer and fall. This
did him much good and he has been
going sound all the winter thus far.
Mr.. Geers states that II would de-
pend entirely upon how he trained,
whether he was kept pacing or put
back to trotting. A mere difference
OF two ounces in the weight OF his
shoes is sufficient &c switch him from
one gait TO the other. II was the opin-
