Wants to Experiment with Cotton.

Wanting to know about cotton and
willing to pay something to learn, Da-
vid B. Clarkson, engaged in mercan-
tile work in Chicago, has visited A. g.
M. college to discuss a series of ex-
periments with B. Youngblood, direc.
tor of the Texas experiment stations.
Mr.. Clarkson formerly lived in Texas,
near Mart in McLennan county. He
has been in Chicago twelve years He
now owns $40 acres of farming land
near Corpus Christi, and he desires to
spend about $500 per year for five
years in a series of experiments in
cotton culture, his plan being through
plant selection to produce superior
product and then through hybridiza-
ton. His proposition is that if Direc'
tor Youngblood will put in such ex-
periments he will finance the PROPOSE
ton to the extent of $500 per year He
spent several days at the college going
over the matter, and Director Young
blood has taken it under consideration
and will determine later just what can
be done in the matter.

SNOBBtRy IN THE ARMY

Washington, Aug. 23.-Frank Bloom,
private of Battery f, Third Field
Artillery, stationed at Fort Meyer, who
came into national prominence by rea-
son of President Taft's defense of his
right to advancement in the army re,
CARELESS of his Jewish nationality, Will
leave the latter part of this week for
Fort Leavenworth, Kan. There he Will
take an examination for appointment
as second lieutenant. Private Bloom,
after returning recently with his COM
mand from San Antonio, Texas, was
given a furlough by the war depart
ment in order that he might take a
special preparatory course at school
! in this city.
Officers say this course is quite un-
usual 1t is the sequel to the first chap
ter in the army history of Private
Bloom which began when President
Taft last spring publicly rebuked Col
Joseph Garrard, commandant at Fort
Meyer, for an unfavorable endorse
ment he placed upon the examination
papers of Bloom. Bloom failed in this
examination. but in returning the pa
pers Colonel Garrard went out of his
way to express satisfaction over the
private's failure, saying that as he was
Jew and the son of people in humble
walks of life, he was not of the class
to be received socially by the families
of officers.
This statement came to the atten.
ton of the private's father, who is the
post tailor at Fort Meyer. The elder
Bloom took up the matter with Simon
Wolf, member of the national coun-
Gil of the Jewish order of B'nai Birth,
who brought the statement before
President Taft.
The president was indignant. and
ordered the war department to make
a thorough examination. No discrim-
ination was found the report of the
Investigators showing that Bloom had
failed in two subjects before the atti-
tude of Colonel Garrard became
known. The president at once directed
that Bloom be given another chance,
and he is under orders to report at
Fort Leavenworth, August 81, to take
the examination of candidates, who,
upon passing, are appointed as second
lieutenants in the army. A number of
other enlisted men will take the same
examination, which is competitive.
If Bloom enters the ranks of officers
and is stationed at Fort Meyer, there |
are those who predict that trouble will /
await him. Many officers share Col |
onel Garrard's views. it is known, al |
though their objection is not so much |
that Bloom is Hebrew as that he is |
the son of the post tailor. Fort Meyer, /
from its proximity to the national cap |
ital, is rapidly becoming a social cen.
ter rather than military post. 1t |
was because he realized that many of |
the officers were better fitted for pink
teas than for red war that Colonel |
Roosevelt, when president, ordered the
famous long horseback hikes, so PAIN
full to many of the participants. Presi-
dent Taft is determined to stamp out
social snobbery from the army. If the
president has his way, military knowl-
edge will hereafter be the great essen.

Of etiquette has to go by the board

that proves its goodness the first time
you use it.

Well, a meliorist is one who stops

am not a pessimist because a pes
simist never gets anywhere, besides
making himself miserable.
am not an optimist because an OPP
timist dreams dreams and may never
dreams come true.
am not a pessimist because a pes
simist sees but one side of things, and
that is the worst side.
am not an optimist because an OPP
timist sees but one side of things, and,
it is not both sides.
am a meliorist.
The pessimist holds up his hands in
horror at the tendency of the times,
sees graft and corruption everywhere
and believes the world is going down
the toboggan slide to the eternal bow
vows.
The optimist is sure the world is get
ting better all the time. He talks to
you about 1.-The eternal outcome and
the power that makes for righteous
ness And, growing Jealous for the
day of millennium, he shouts, "Hurrah
for the heavenly jubilee!'
The meIiorist? ...
Well, he says to the pessimist,
Things are not all bad" and to the
optimist, Things are not all good
either" To all he says: Things are
good, bad and Indifferent. Let US see
things as they really are" But, above
all, says the meliorist-
'Let us help to make things betterr'
His is the reasonable view as well as
the view which accomplishes.
He is on the middle ground between
the groan and the hallelujah-the
ground where. most of us live most of
the time.
Seeing all sides, he has wide op-
portunity where the pessimist has
none; wider chance than the opti-
mist, who has some He seeks earnest
ly, but nationally, to help the world
along.
And now abide pessimism, optimism,
meliorism, these three, but
The greatest of these is meliorism.

Indeed, in the first place, it is not
fashionable in that smart set to have
children at all. But if you do have
them it is not at all good form to ap-

taste demands you should take your

THE JOB OR THE OUTLOOK?

81 once had a job at SIS a month.
but 1 couldn't see there was anything
better ahead of me. I threw up the
job and took another at $40 because
the cheaper one had some outlook"
"Wh-a-t?" says the young man.
"Give up a job at $75 to take one at
$40? Not for me-"
Well, let's see. What did the man
mean by outlook" Evidently he
meant prospects. There was a better
chance to get on in the cheaper job,
more promise of promotion or perhaps
a share in the business itself Do you
see?
He traded $35 month for an out
look.
So many young men-and young wo-
men-want merely job. They bear
in mind only the present. They are
giving no hostages to the future.
They lack foresight. They lack what
we call initiative the starting, the
commencing to do.
Now, if the giving up of $50 a month
excites amazement, what shall be said
of young man who gave up position
that was paying him $4,000 a month?
Hugh Chalmers did that.
He began with cash register COM
pany as an office boy. In twelve years
he had climbed to the top.
At the age of twenty-nine years
Chalmers was drawing a salary of
$4,000 year, the largest ever paid
an advertising manager. And Chal-
mers was worth it.
This big salary he resigned to- go
into business for himself.
''Whewr' says a young man. why,
a year of that job would be plenty for
me-
Yes, but don't you see
With your disposition to be salts
fed with a job you would never be
able to climb up to $4,000 a year in
the first place?
Hugh Chalmers argued that he was
a young man who had made good for
others. If he was worth $4,000 to
them he was worth more than that to
himself
Take a photograph of your future.
Find out where you will get off.
Sooner or later go into business for
yourself. even if you go in small. To
do that you may have to exchange
larger wages for smaller or resign
your job entirely.
Your job is only means to an end.
If you cannot reach your end by
means of your job try another or let
it go,
Keep an eye on the outlook.

An Abused Word.

There are few words in the average

judge recently when l was on the
bench and since have resumed prac-

fantastic connections. A woman who
had been defrauded by a book agent
complained in court that she had been
mulcted. A man who had paid 5000

else felt that he had been muIcted
In other words, there is the element
of false pretense or fraud in the mind
of almost every one who uses the
word AS matter of fact the word
'mulct' has but one correct use. the
legal use, and all others are obsolete
It is proper to speak of 'mulcting' an
