The Manitowoc pilot. [volume] (Manitowoc, Wis.) 1859-1932, 1911-09-14

There is an opportunity for every
young man TO become an honored citi-
zen, and so many, oh so many bows, are
allowing themselves to becarried along,
apparently caring but little about their
future. We do admire a manly boy,
one who tries to become a man, and
we always feel like helping him along.
The boy who steps out from among
evil associates, gives tobacco and drink
the go-by, has the true grit and de
serves to be helped. 1t takes con-
siderable to turn ones back upon those
whom he has been associating with
and we admire the pluck of one who
does so.

The house and home require head
the same as any other business. No
study is of greater Importance to
girl; after marriage she often wishes
she knew more of cooking and less of
Latin. Money and love combined does
not form a safeguard where there is
domestic incapacty. A woman who is
capable of filling her home in every
sense of the word is worthy of more
true applause than if she possessed
many accomplishments.

Every good act is charity. An OK
hortation of your fellowmen 10 vir-
tuous deeds is equal to aOmsgiving; your
putting n wanderer on the right track
is charity; your removing stones and
thorns and other distractions from the
road is charity. a mans true wealth
hereafter is the good he does in this
world TO his fellowmen. When he dies
people will say, "What property has
he left behind him." But the angels
who examine him in the grave will
ask, "What good deeds hast thou sent
before thee?"

Character makes the man; character
plus culture makes the gentleman and
the true gentleman is the real noble
man Of this world. Culture is the rose
or the breast of character. Wear it
that you may make life not only useful
and honorable, but high, sweet and
helpful, noble and divine.

UNCERTAINTY IN BUSINESS.

IT HE Chicago packers in their appeal to the
L Supreme Court to stay their trial until there
can be an Interpretation of the criminal sections of
the Sherman Antitrust law ask that decision
be rendered soon possible. And in this re-
quest for an early decision they are supported in
spirit by many other big business men who are
puzzled because of the uncertainty surrounding
the law and its interpretations rendered by
the Supreme Court. So far as the big business
men are concerned, they surely are not satisfied
with the status of things under the law. Neither
they nor their attorneys know how to proceed, and
the decision of the high court in regard to "rea-
sonabeness" does not seem to have shed much
light on the subject that is of practical value.
Certainly Congress should take some action to-
wards removing the doubts in the mind of busi-
ness men. If not, the era of uncertainty will con-
tinue with its depressing effect upon business.
What is needed is law and an Interpretation of
that law which shall not leave the business sea
uncharted
Even the views expressed by President Taft
who does not think the situation obscured, fail TO
satisfy those concerned. There can be no COM
pletc restoration Of business confidence until the
uncertainties surrounding the law are cleared.

problems that confront the country or at least an
intelligent effort towards their solution,
1t promises to be a busy session. The tartt
question will again be agtated and some import

made This subject is confused by the reported
disagreement among the members OF the larIf
Board. The tariff will play big part IN the pro-
ceedngs OF Congress.
Another important subject will be amending the
Sherman antitrust law that the defects IN that
measure may be corrected. It is probable that a
Federal incorporation law will be enacted. The
arbitration treaties with Great Britainand France
will be passed upon Sentiment throughout the
country is strong for the treaties and meetings
: advocating them have been held in many cities.
The President discussed the treaties continually
during his western trip and it is said his references
were applauded more literally than any other
parts of his speeches.
The parcels post and the ship subsidy plan are
also to be considered. A great fight will be made
for the parcels post. 1- ,.r
Currency reform, the establishment Of depart

RAILWAY TRESPASSING.

DESPITE the energetic efforts of the railroad
H. companies to educate persons about the
perils of walking on railroad tracks, the trespass-
ing continues-folowed by the more than usual
large number of deaths. tr2
The Bureau of Railway News and Statistics tells
a pretty story of three maids who walked from
Burlington, Ia, TO Chicago, just for fun Two
we're school teachers, one an amateur photogra-
pher. They walked 207 miles in eight days, and
they had great fun. Part OF the time they walked
the country roads the rest of the time on rail-
road tracks. People, including employees of the
railroads, saluted them. The girls escaped harm;
they we're neither killed nor injured, but between
1901 and 1911, $4,000 other trespassers who walk
ed on railroad tracks we're killed, and more than
$4,000 were injured, frghtful toll
The Railroad Commission of Indiana has been
trying for FIVE years, without success, to have the
Legislature Of that state pass law making it H.
legal to trespass on railroad property
The Accident Bulletin discussing the matter
says:
Trespassers continue to pay the usual toll IN blood
for the fatal right TO make thoroughares of the rail-
roads. II the railroad ties were three times many
and satura ed with oil and burning all the time,
If dynamite were put in on the track every ten feet
deathes would be no less certain than in a country
whose laws do not prohibit such of the tracks
and whose customs and careessncss OF human life
permit these astounding fatalities
1t adds that instead OF decreasing. the number
OF trespassers killed is increasing Ii calls atten-
ton 10 the fact that in about one-half of the fatal
ities about railroads trespassers are the victims
The Pennsylvania Railroad Company on all its
lines IS conducting a vigorous campaign against
trespassing, and II is to be hoped that the next
session of the Delaware Legislature, in view Of
the many deaths due to trespassng, will take
stringent means TO protect the lives of the care
less who run so many risks when they use rail-
way tracks as thoroughfareS.

GOOD ROADS HELP FARMERS.

Dover Republican.
General DUPONT gave the incentive
to a good road movement all over the
country when he decided to build the
splendid State boulevard which is
now under way. There was a National
Good Roads Convention held at Rich
mond last week, attended by some Of
the most prominent men in the coun-
try. Commenting on the work of the
Convention the Baltimore American
says that nearly all the discussion al
luded to the fact that the building of
good roads would help the farmer IL
every way
The President who was kept away
from the convention by a severe cold,
sent telegram at the opening, in
which he declared, concerning good
roads distributed all over the coun-
try:
The effect they will have in in
creasing the value OF farms, in making
the lives of farmers and their families
much more full of comfort and in the
general benefit conferred by greater
ease OF intercommunication the coun-
try over, cannot be exaggerated
Secretary Wilson, of the Agricul-
tural Department, argues that good
roads will make the parcels post
practicable the country over, and that
with the parcels post the farmer would
get more for his products and that
the consumer would get his supplies
promptly. fresh and good. He declared
| that in other countries dairy products
fruit, meat and vegetables are convey
ed from the farms to the markets by
the parcels post. President Finley, OF
the Southern Railroad, took the view
that the good-roads propaganda is a
part Of the back-to-the- farms move

TAFT AND ROOSEVELT.

DESPITE criticism of President Taft by pro-
~ gressive Republicans and Roosevelt men who
think that the administration has been inactive in
regard TO the trusts, the record of Taft promises
to surpass that of Roosevelt by a great deal.
During the entire administration of Roosevelt
lS bills in equity were filed and 25 indictments Sc
cured. The Taft administration with about one
year and three months yet to go has filed II bills
in equity and secured 20 indictments.
With respect to the prosecution of the trusts
the Taft administration has been following the
Roosevelt policy with vengeance, but the Presi-
dent not being the politician that Colonel Roose-
welt is and not having a skillful press agent has
not had so much noise made over these prosecu'
tons as Roosevelt had.
President Taft cannot be fairly criticised for
any failure to proceed against the trusts and the
fling of the former president in putting forth a
fine spun theory about good and bad trusts is a
rather small effort to disoredit his successor

A grouchy subscriber complain ID
to Bert Walker of the Osborne Kan
Farmer because he would not re-
duce the price of his paper, said he
could get a big daily almost as
cheap. This led Mr.. Walker to
grow sentimental. and he, moralized
thus:
IT'S thing of sentiment this
little ldcountry newspaper. When
perchance disgrace paints the scar
let letter on the family circle, it lis
tens to the pleadings Of the broken
heart and whispers not of it. When
it does you favor you come in and
beg few extra copies. but when it
steps on your toes you drop around
to lick the editor. Without your
dinky country newspaper your towns
and kamlets would be like the man
who threw kisses at a girl in the

did. You might imagine you we're

to buy railroad ticket and see for
themselves. Thus ends the brief
tale of the blooming old thing that
isn't worth three cents a week."
