Glass Passenger Rates.

Report is current that an effort ls
to be made on the part OF several
western railroads to introduce class
passenger rates, following somewhat
after the method in vogue in European
countries. This innovation is to be &C
complished by exacting an extra fare
from passengers occupying sleeping
cars or parlor cars, ostensibly in COM
pensation for the use of better and
less crowded coaches. Passengers
would still be able to ride in the ordi-
nary cars at the rates now charged or
prescribed by law, but the extra fare
would practically make our ordinary
travel correspond to what is known
abroad as second class.
1t remains to be. seen whether class
passenger rates will prove acceptable
to the American travelling public, even
though Americans who tour foreign
lands put up with them. The nearest
we have had to this system in this
country were the old second class
rates put in for immigrants and COM
mon laborers, who were herded to-
gether in decrepit coaches and moved
as If by slow freight. Competition be-
tween railroads has more lately been
to give more for the money rather
than to exact more money for extra
service. Pursuant to this plan better
and improved equipment has been pro-
vided, faster time made and other in
ducements held out to attract bust
ness, extra fare being charged only fol
extra fast speed on the specials and linn
iteds devoted exclusively to through
traffic. In the south, where the color
line is drawn, the Jim Grow" cars
might be regarded as introducing q
passenger classification. But here the
distinction rests on color and not on
the use of less costly equipment.
Whitfield to a point, the proposed
plan to exact extra fare from first
class passengers is really a scheme tc
get around the 2-cent fare laws. II
the railroads could charge an add
tional half cent a mile for carrying
passengers who ride in special coaches
they would be getting 2 N cents mile
from this part of the traffic, and would
be applying in a new form the old rule
, of charging what the traffic will bear
The real objection is that passenger
in parlor and sleeping cars are already
paying extra fare to the Pullman com
pany, and if this part Of the business
is expensive to the railroads it is FOL
them to readjust their relations will
the Pullman company and get some
thing more near to their share of the
total revenue.

not so much lack Of ability as it is a
lack of application.
The blame for this deficiency must
lie back in the school from which the
youth came; with his instruction and
training. Did his teacher devote more
time to interest the pupils than to
teach them to exert themselves? Did
the professor gloss over what seemed
trivial mistake, OF an unintentional
Sinking of duty, rather than see that
each was taught thoroughly and did
the right thing at the right time?
Thoroughness, punctuality, desire to
learn, are essential elements in bust
ness and they must be inculcated in
the school room, for they constitute to
large degree the foundation to com
mon honesty and business ability.

Chicago and the West.

Chicago claims to have advance in
formation from the census bureau CIV
ing it a population of 100000 and
making 1t still the second city in the
United States in size. In 1900 Chi
cago's population was 1,69S,575; in
1890 it was 1,O99,s50; in 1880, $685.
175; in 1870, 298,997, and in 1910 it
was 4,47O. The city, then, has grown
to it's present size in practically sew
enty years, a brief span, indeed, for
such phenomenal advancement; not as
long as the lifetime of some Of its old
est citizens. No other city in the
world can match this development.
Chicago has been the second Amer
lean city in size since 1890, although
as far back as 1870 it was fifth. Then
came the fire in 1871, which prac-
tically wiped out the city, and its rise
from those ashes With renewed vigor
and a new spirit is the real wonder of
its history. But this growth Of Chi
cago is but natural after all. While
It has had the advantage of builders
whose energy and enterprise and far
seeing wisdom have enabled it to
weather every adverse wind, It has
had the greater advantage of geo.
graphical location; it has been the
practical hub of the middle west, the
most fertile and productive section OF
H.. nd npf Il
growth is but the reflex action OF the
vests expansion, something that could
not be checked or obstructed. Chi
cago's supremacy. therefore, repre-
sents the supremacy Of the west.
This growth and development is go
ing on and will go on for many years
at even greater rate, for better rail-

Most people will be prompt to agree
with President Taft when he says that
sixty days vacation is not too much
for the person who is under a nerve
racking strain all the rest of the year,
but some of us, much as we might en-
dorse his view, find II a little incon-
venient to practice what We preach.
The president in his talk did not, of
course, imply that he thought everyone
should take a sixty-day lay-off every
year; he was referring chiefly. to
those under great mental and nervous
strain. People whose occupations
keep them out of doors more or less
of the time, or who are not held down
to sedentary occupations, or places in
volving immense detail and RESPONSE
bilities, can get along on much less
vacation than others, all things being
equal, but even so, it is wholesome for
person to break away from his ordi-
nary pursuit once in a while and take
little diversion and recreation. 1t
not only helps to conserve physical and
mental powers and prolong the period
of usefulness, but it aids in keeping
one fresh and happy and, if not over
done, tends to enhance the value of his
or her service.
Chief executives of the nation beforV
President Cleveland did not make a
practice of getting very far from the
White House even during the hot sum-
mer months, but since Mr.. Cleveland
started the innovation and spent his
summers at Buzzards Bay all his sue
cessors have managed to get out of
the sweltering atmosphere of the cap
ital during the heated months. And
It is simple wisdom, for the duties of a
president are too exaoting to hazard
unnecessary risk of impairing health
or strength. President Taft has been
under as great strain as any presi-
dent in late years and has earned a
good rest, though at best the period
that he counts as complete freedom
from Official cares is brief, indeed,

Maine Calls for Girls.

Comes now the distant little state of
Maine with cry for 10000 girls to
fill its homes with useful help, accom-
panying it's call with the assurance
that it will pay the best wages--better
than factory and shop will pay.
This may not be siren voice, but it
is vain appeal. Not that we Of the
west are unwilling to relieve the dis.
tress of any sister state, but that we
have no more girls than we need and
propose to keep all We have. Catch a
western girl going to Maine, anyway!
This cry comes through the State
Bureau of Industrial Labor Statistics
OF Maine. 1t is an insistent plea,
couched in fervent and impressive
terms, at least enough so to convince
everyone that Maine needs the girls.
But Maine should have known better.
1t should have known that every state
in the union, of which any account has
been made, is suffering precisely the
same dearth OF good girls for house
good girls anywhere. Out here in the
west they are almost too good to suit
the incomes of some OF the households
that are paying them-the wages, not
the girls. This is the heyday of the
working girls opportunity, her harvest
time, and it is mighty long harvest,
too. Not only does she get the best
wages-aimost what sine asks-Dut
she gets conditions and limitations
about to her own making,
If there is one line Of industry
where employment is going begging
today for want of suficient supply. ii
is domestic service. One cause of this
is that SO many girls have been de-
luded by the silly notion that this sort
of service is more mental than that in
shop or store or factory. Here again,
we are having to depend heavily upon
the stranger within our gates, from
foreign lands, to help us out.

Congressional REPRESENTATION.

story is going around depicting
the danger threatening republican as
cendancy in congress as the outgrowth
of the reapportionment of representa-
ton to conform TO the census of 1910,
which is expected to show a large
per cent of increase in the demo-
cratic south as compared with the re-
publican Rev England and central
west The decennial reapportion-
ment must take place either by in
creasing the population ratio for each
congressman or increasing the total
number of members Of congress- In
either event it is asserted that what
ever the change it will favor the south
and democracy.
The federal constitution provides
that representation in the lower house
shall be apportioned to the inhabi-
tants of the several states according
to their numbers, and this apportion-
ment should be made without regard
to the relative conditions Of the
political parties. But the constitution
in another place declares that when
ever any state deprives citizens of the
United States of their votes because
of race, color or previous condition of
servitude, their representation shall
be correspondingly reduced. Every
one knows that the southern states,
which have adopted grandfather
clauses and other refinements of suf-
frage restrictions, have really disfran-
chised the negro because of his color,
and have had no other purpose or in
tent. Strict enforcement of the con-
stitutional penalties would largely re-
duce the southern representation in
congress, Notwithstanding the popula-
ton increase in the south. If the
southern states think it necessary to
their salvation to disfranchise the
negro they should at least be content
with the representation in congress
that really belongs to them and not
claim representation also for the dis
franchised negro.
The injustice of this dispropor,
tionate representation msnifests itself
not only in congress but in the choice
of the president, because of the over
weighted vote of the southern states
in the electoral college. Each state
is accorded the same number Of presi-
Dental electors as 1t has senators and
members of congress, and the excess
representation of the southern states
in the house likewise gives them unde-
served power in the electoral college
The constitution proclaims the true
principle of representative govern
ment--a strictly proportional repre-.
sentation. and the proportion based
on the free exercise of manhood suf-
frage without discrimination on race
or color lines,

Merging Churches.

Mr. Rockefeller but voices a popu-

Gates church mergers. For long
time unification has been the natural
tendency among religious denomina-
tions and it will undoubtedly be more
so in the future: 1t is but the logical
working out of the fundamental tenets
of Christianity and is being helped on
by enlightened thought and economic
conditions.
Already we have had much progress
in this movement; the Presbyterians,
Baptists and Congregationalists have
been merging divisions of their de-
nominations and the great Methodist
church is following in the same line.
There are eleven branches or divisions
of the Methodists, with an aggregate
of 1905, 1856 communicates; they have
1899 churches and 5,3ss, ministers.
This gives about one minister only for
every third church and an average
church membership of about ninety.
