Their First Jobs.

Ono of the Inust fascinating az.
ticles in the June issue of Human
Life is that by Hugh G. Weir, tel.
ling how David Belasco, Frank
A. Munsey, Kellar-he of magic
fame-Thomas A. Edison, Jacob
Riis and John Philip Sousa got
their first jobs-started at the very
lowest round of the ladder and
"clim bed through difficulties to the
stars" But even in the way they
handled these same humble "Jobs''
the reader will discern a forshad-
owing of the qualities that have
made each of these men preemi-
nent in his line.
The tragic results Of David Bel
asco's attempt to introduce Shake
sperean diana into the rude min
ing camps of California thirty five
years ago-what Frank A. Munsey
did with his first hundred dollars
and why 1t was worth more to him
than any other money h ever
earned-how Edison engineered
his first coup as newsboy and
reaped golden harvest from his
"nerye''-all these incidents have
decidedly comical as we'll as a
serious side.

EDITO RIAL.

The THINGS the recently -elected Socialist Mayor
of Milwaukee threatens to do will be of great bene-
fit to the people of that city, il carried out Among
other things he purposes finding public employment
for those ont Of work He will insist upon the peo-
pie getting full weight i'll coal and provisions and es
pecalIy bread, which shall he pure and wholesome.
Corporations shall be taxed on the same basis and
ratio as individuals. There shall be plenty of places
Of public comfort for men, and children
Sanitation of schools and public buildings will he
looked after better shape. The water must be the
best-the sewerage system perfect and cleanliness
will be insisted upon in every quarter of the city
especially among the working classes. There shall
be graft in public contracts and streecar fares
to be brought down in price to three cents per
single trip. with transfers to any intersecting line
These of the reforms, quoted from
memory, which the new Mayor-Herr Emil Seidel,
purposes carrying into effect They all sensible
and practicable. There is nothing chimercal fam
cifu in such ideas. Many of these proposed mea
su,es have been successfully introduced in other
cities Mayor Seidel will give the people Of Milwau-
kee businS sslike administraton-free from polit-
cal cLicanery and juggling-and il he does that he
will succeed and the reforms which he is pledged to
institute, if carried into successful operation, will
live always as monument to his proglessivane. and
integrity.
Along the lines indicated by Mayor Seidel So
calism will prosper. The masses to be legislat
ed for and not against and it is well that large cities
like Milwaukee should elect men from the workshop,
if competent to preside over the des:inies Of mu-
nicpaliy because they in clcser touch with the
needs aud necessities Of the people, 1t is folly to
elect a man Mayor of city who knows nothing of
the real reforms req ,red to benefit the people a
whole Wherever the waceworkt RS are happy there
will be found peace and prosperity. Some great phi
losopher said ut is impossible to start revolution
among people whose stomachs are full" And that
is the history of the world. The French revolution
was inaugurated because the people were hungry.

READERS Of The Mirror have in the past en- Joy
ell contributions from the facile pen of Mrs Jennie
e. Woodworth, of Tennessee. 1t is only proper
therefore that acknowledgement should be made to
this esimable lady for her kindness in that direction
as The Mirror has paid correspondents. The
Mirror has writings of this lady ON hand which
may be used later Mrs. Woodworth not only takes
pains to write for The Mirror but she says she is
pleased to devote part Of her time to aiding and as
sisting ''good men and women gone wrong This
is noble spirit and in line with the IDEAS of Gilbert
Hubbard William Marion Reedy and other dis
tinguished American writer's, publishers and philos-
ophers. 1t is such women as Mrs. Jennie L. Wood
worth who make the world better and brighter for
al-incIudng themselves-by doing deeds of kind
ness.

Reflections.

Architecture is science or art
which has probably gone through
more changes than any other hn-
man accomplishment. When trav-
cling through different nations the
most prominent feature is. of course,
the style of architecture prevailing.
THIS art is at the Same time the
Oldest. We might say that from
the beginning of time man lias been
al architect more or less. Thou
sands Of years before Christ, en-
pres were created and dynasty af-
ter dynasty has come anil gone, but
there is hardly one, perhaps none,
which has not left. beside its his
tory, some indelible land mark
The Orient is richest in arcl,itec-
tnre. cspecia y India, China,
Egypt. Europe affords u splendid
field for the lover Of architecture,
with its splendid cathedrsls, castles,
foriresses, forums, amphiiheatres
and cu!osseums. All western ne
lions have copied and learned the
art of building from the Orientand
though new styles are created they
are simply structures based Oh the
same principles of building as We're
used many centuries ago. The
modern New York sky scraper al
though unique in appearance was
the creation inspired by the Hindu
Temple and the Roman colosseum.
Among European countries
Greece was foremost in this art as
she was in art itself. Italy and Spain
have prominent places as nations
Of wonderful architecture. Ger
many is noted for its castles. There
is perhaps no country with the
possible exception Of Great BRITAIN
which has so many castles, each
with Il history and romance which
is celebrated in song and verse.
In Egypt, that land of burning
sands and deep blue skies, architec-.
tule seems to have approached the
point where the stupendous and
massive building has reached the
limit. The great temples which
recent excavations have brought
TO light, together with the famous
Pyramids and Sphinx are sources
Of worldwide wonder and mystery.
History has told us lot concern
ing these wonderful structures, bnt
still there remains q great deal more
which We would like 10 know con-
corning them. In the Holy Land,
archaeologists have been excavat-
ing the wonderful temple which
Solomon built centuries ago; in
Peru lately an American student
Of archaeology claims to have dis
covered by excavation the ruins of
magnificent ancient temples and
palaces.
When we study these enormous
piles of stones, as in Egypt partic-
ularly, the thought arises: "How
did those ancient races build those
wonderful structures, how did they
lift such enormous blocks of gran
ite?' In those days there were no
steam cranes orsuch modern build
ing appliances. In this lies the
charm Of these ancient structures:
their mystery magnetszes us. The
tools which the Egyptians used in

Limit Of ~RooseveItism.

We o have the official ~interpreta-
tion of the New York Republican
platform from the man who made It,
Theodore Roosevelt. Here Is his
view:
Three points, three essential points,
were made in our platform Of pr1nci-
ples-the three points upon which the
contest this fall in New York Is 10 be
waged. In the first place, that we
stand, not timidly, not halfway, but
aggressively, for honesty in public and
business life. In the next place, that
we stand for governmental efficiency.
And in the third place, that we stand
for the right of the people to control
themselves, and not to be controlled
by some one else. These are the three
essential points Of our platform
Would it not be just awful II a po-
litical party should stand for" dis
honesty Gin public and business life"
for governmental ineficiency and for
control of the people by a boss or a
Caesar? 1t seems to US that the
three essential points" in this wonder
full platform are points on which all
sane men in the world are in abso-
luete agreement. And yet it Is pro-
posed to make an issue on them.
Such boldness Is almost astounding.

APOLOGIZING FOR HIS PARTY
President Taft Driven to Extremes In
Defending the Policies of the
Republicans.

President Taft's references to the
"bargain-counter" tariff of the Payne
Aldrich combine in his recent speech
showed natural and creditable en-
barrassment. He had made promises
as to tariff revision which congress
would not carry ont. He had laid
down a principle of action which con-
gress utterly secuted. He had labored
anxiously all through the special ses-
sion for decent treatment OF party
pledges, particularly with reference
to the materials of industry and to
goods needed by the poorer classes,
and his efforts had been entirely vain.
Now he has assumed the character OF
general apologist for his party, and
has devoted strength and time re-
quired for his executive service OF the
whole nation to the work Of advocate
in chief in a congressional campaign.
In that campaign the tariff Is the dom;
inant issue. He cannot ignore or
wholly evade 1t. 1t bothers him
greatly. He Is by nature an honest
and candid man. He is by training
an acute and thorough lawyer. He has
had long and honorable experience as
as impartial judge. He is well equip
ped to detect the truth in a compiled
ted question, and his impulse and
habit prompt him to stand by the
truth.
But the truth Is very, very bad for
his party. 1t is to some extent bad for
him, too, for he has not done all that
he could have done to compel the OBJ
servance of pledges made by him and
by his party. But we think he would
own up to that man fashion and ap-
peal for confidence on the ground that
he would do better in the future, II
he had himself only to think of. He
cannot, however, take that course as
to his party, for its leaders are not
frank, nor repentant He must for his
party make a wretched, hypocritical,
~treacherous and vicious course seem
at least partly decent--New York
Times CInd. Rep.

AND VACATION TIME
Chief Executives Ideas In the Main
Are All Right, But There
Are Obstacles.

Men on small salaries, and men who
cannot leave their affairs to others
even for a day, highly appreciate
President Taft's assertion that every
man should enjoy three months Vaca-
ton each year.
Unfortunately, the average citizen
cannot command a warship with a
$50, 900 bathroom and a brass band at
public expense for his v~acationing.
By the time he has paid for his liv-
ing at the prices which the Aldr1ch'
Taft tariff permits Mr.. Taft's New
England friends to charge, the or
binary man, who depends on his earn
ings, and is forced to keep his ex-
penditures within his income, Is lucky
II he has the price Of a car ride TO
the park.
Still Mr.. Taft's suggestion IS worth
considering.
If Uncle Sam keeps on increasing
his navy at the present eXtravagant
rate, there will be warships enough to
20 around by the time universal peace
is declared.
By way Of excuse for keeping them
in commission and spending tax money
In tens and hundreds Of millions, con-
gress can establish a legal three
months vacation for everybody, to be
spent aboard a warship at public ex'

Every taxpayer Is just as much en-
titled to expensive junketing, paid for
out OF taxes, as Is the president OF the
United States.
BY all means let US have the three

Democratic Opportunity.

The Democracy Of Maine has won a
great victory, a victory of national i'm
port 1t is now for them to make the
results Of that victory permanent, in
stead Of a flash in the pan. In the
first place, they must strengthen and
perfect their party organization
throughout the state. The work must
be thoroughly done in all its ramifca-
tons. The incentive that has been
lacking for this they now have. Or
ganization Is essential, but what is
still more essential Is a clean and
good record. The Democratic party
will be judged by its fruits, as the op-
posing party has been judged. Its op-
ponents from now on will be on the
watch for Democratic blunders and
evidences of the "incompetency" they
sneeringly allege. They must be dis
appointed, and we believe they will
be, disappointed completely. The
Plaisted administration, we predict,
will fully justify the confidence of the
Republicans as well as the Democrats
who have placed it in power.-Port-
