SPECIAL CHARTER CITIES NOT
EXEMPT

The conclusion reached by the
state department at Des Moines ia
that special charter cities in Iowa are
not exempt from the provisions of the
Moon law. A dispatch says:
The Moon law as interpreted this
week by the supreme court applies to
special charter cities the same as to
other cities and towns in the state.
Those cities and towns in which the
general consents do not expire for
one, tive. three or four years may re-
tain their excess number of saloons
until that general consent does ex-
pire.
This is the conclusion reached by
the state department of justice after a
careful reading of the opinion today.
The opinion of the department is the
line OF reasoning which will be adopt
eu in formal opinion delivered later
If necessary.

THE YOUNG MANS FIRST JOB.

David r. Forgan, a successful and
honored business man OF Chicago. has
been giving some good advice to young
men. Among other things he said:
His first job is young mans first
great opportunity" But he voiced the
fear that coed many young men have
not do net and will not feel the full
force of this remark. 1t ia too com
mon, he suggested for the youth
starting on his business or industrial
career to look upon his first job as a
temporary expedient and having no re-
lation to future occupations or sig
nificance with respect to the reputa-
ton on which he must build his ulti-
mate success, instead of utilizing the
opportunity to demonstrate that he has
capacity, that he is scrupulous in the
performance of his duties and that he
is interested in his work.
Mr.. Forgan emphasized the fact that
reputation goes long way in bust
ness, and the sooner a young man be-
gins to build reputation of the right
kind the sooner will he attract atten-
ton and command respect. Employ
ers are at all times on the lookout for
efficiency and there is no time when
this quality will not find a place in
the process of eliminating ineficiency,
which Is constantly going on. Effic.
lency In one thing. even the humblest
means efficiency in other things. even
the greatest. Through cultivation. eff.
fciency becomes a habit of life. In
conclusion Mr.. E'organ said:
The Young man who does his work
Whatever 1t may be, for the love of
doing something useful, of accom-.
Diishing something, will not have 10

ment. There will always be a de.
mand for his services. The most ex.
pensiye and annoying detail of giving
employment to people is guarding the
business against inefficiency, which
does not always mean the absence
OF ability to do things as they should
be done, but the lack Of interest and

No young man should despise his

In discussing the relative economy
of horse-drawn and motor vehicles,
Mr.. Hayden Eames, in a paper read
before the Electric Vehicle Associa-
tion of America. called attention to
the fact that horse-drawn vehicles
must remain idle for certain portion
of the day in order to rest the horses.
A recent investigation showed that
the teams of the different express
companies in New York City were
idle 40 per cent of the total working
hours, much of this idleness being due
to the fact that the horses needed rest
and that the periods of loading the
wagons had to be suited to these rest
hours. The motor vehicle on the 9TH
er hand requires no rest. and hence
requires no adjustment of the loading
hours.

| The railroad commission and com
meree counsel for the state have I'M
der consideration the meaning Of a
new law which was prepared for the
purpose OF granting larger power to
the state in defining switching ser
vice. on the railroads, and 1t is rep.
resented that the bill was the victim
OF joker which changed its entire
purpose so that the commission has
absolutely no authority to define a
switching service. Arguments have
been made to the commission by the
attorneys on both sides. The railroads
contend that instead of charging the
powers of the commission, the law as
passed, restricted it's powers. The bill
as originally introduced, was quite diff
ferent from that which passed and it
was rewritten in committee and rush
ed through in the closing days of the
session.

cETTHE HABIT.

The value Of doing a good turn
as character-builder is simply, logi
cally and wildly described by L. A
Headley, instructor in psychology In
Carleton college. Northfield. Mimi. He
points out that the brain is developed
and strengthened by mental exercise
in the same way that the muscles OF
the body grow powerful when In con.
slant use. in saying that the brain
grows" he writes, we do not mean
that it grows any new excrescences
any more than we mean that a man in
developing his muscles grows a new
arm. In each case the internal struc-
ture of parts is continually rearrang-
ed The delicate structure Of the
brain makes it especially susceptible
to change. But the only force which
can have any appreciable influence on
this finely adjusted organ is that from
the nervous impulses which flow
through it and for which it forms a
conducting trail. 1t is just these I'M
pulses which exercise the brain"
He then points out that the differ
ence between the muscle and nerve
phenomenon is this: The nerve struc-
lture is more easily torn down and
more readily rebuilt.
Referring to the good turn" he
says that the growth is bound to come

sistent enough. But it must be both

ing. He must give a little voluntary
exercise regularly every day and do
this with equal rigor in the years OF
youth when the body and.nervous sys-
tenn are most rapidly developing and
consequently most permanently i'm
pressed by the effects of their own
exercise. Then is the time to perform
the little acts which will establish
such habits as will carry their posses
sor safely over the great crises in
which he is not even given time to
think. They are the insurance which
one pays without immediate results
against that ever unexpected day when
a crucial moment shall arise.
Thus we see that in doing a good
deed every day, the nervous impulses
travelling through the brain and out
through the muscles to consummate
the act, blaze out, SO to speak, trail
which will be naturally followed when
the same impulse recurs again, and
that the doing of good deeds will be-
come -habitual.
