The Get-together Dinner.

Washington merchants are manifest
ing proper interest in the dinner which
is to be given on the 8th of November
in furtherance of the mercantile trade
of this city. They propose to get to-
gether and talk over matters which will
be of benefit to themselves and the city.
They hope to touch shoulders in the
effort to develop our commercial prog
ress.
A successful merchant. provided he
has attained his eminence by honest
business methods and through the eX-
ercise of industry and wisdom, is to be
highly praised. The foundations OF the
wealth of this country were laid by men
who were merchants Nothing seems
more ridiculous nowadays than the
desire upon the part of the Astors and
the Vanderbilts to forget that their an
cestors were fur dealers and steamboat
men. 1t ought to be a matter OF pride
for every man whose father was or is
successful merchant The greatest
fnanciers in the United States to-day
are making fortunes out OF the sale OF
sugar and tobacco and beef and cotton.
! 50 the Washington merchants, gath
ering around the banquet table, can fe-
rcitate themselves upon the fact thai
/ thev are the solid foundation upon which
the city rests. When they prosper, th'
CITY advances. When they suffer, tht
whole community is adversely affected
Whatever they can do to help the cit!
and themselves ought to be heartily sec
onded by every citizen.

Mr.. Taft and Rich Mems Sons.

The President. in his address before
the student body OF the University OF
Minnesota. added his contribution to
the intcrminable controversy concerning
the rich mans son and expressed the
familiar belief that the youth who has
to work for his education and his bread
and butter has the best chance to do
something worth while for himself and
others. If there is anything that is
burden" Mr.. Taft said, If there is
anything that is an obstacle, if there is
anything that it is difficult for our Young
men to overcome, il is an income that
will enable them to live without work"
While many persons, rich or poor, or
neither rich nor poor, will agree with
the President, it is a fact that few par
cnts would voluntarily infict upon their
offspring the hardships and worry of the
poverty which they experienced in their
own boyhood days The very men who
have successfully struggled to overcome
adverse circumstances are too glad only
to give their boys what is described
among all of US as better start in life.
1t is but human that well-to-do parents
should cherish a desire TO spare their
sons the hardships they had to face in
their own youth.
Mr.. Taft would have been wiser If he
had not been so broad in his statement.
He could have said with perfect truth
that when wealthy parents do not foster
spirit of industry in their sons, but
allow the latter to spend idly an un-
limited income, the foundation of fu-
ture worthlessness is only too surely laid.

Will Have to Make Good Soon.

4 member Of the San Francisco bar,
Mr.. Stuart Armor, whose hobby is as

Mars. our old acquaintanccs. the

witnesses to support his prediction
Here are excerpts from his prophetic
utterances:

two months to make good, but if ap-

CURIOUS BITS OF HISTORY.
BY A. w. MACY.
A SUCCESSFUL OLD SCHOOL
MASTER

A SUCCESSFUL OLD SCHOOL
MASTER.
A good illustration of how a
man of ordinary ability may at
tain success by making the most
of his opportunities is found in
Alcuin, an English schoolmaster
Of the eighth century. When re-
turning from a visit to Rome he
fell under the notice Of the En-
peror Charlemagne. 1t so hap
pened that the Emperor was look
ing for a principal for his royal
school, and he offered Alcuin the
place. Alcuin accepted. and this
was the beginning OF a great
career, especially for a schooH
master. It was a heavy burden
Charlemagne imposed upon him
that he should make the
Franks familiar with the Latin
language, create schools, and do
everything he could to revive
learning. But he accepted the
task willingly. working faith
fully, and he succeeded far beyond
his own expectations. His In
fuence on the intellectual de-
yelopment of Europe can hardly
be overestimated. It may al
most be said that the educational
development OF the modern world
dates from him and his school.
vet all accounts agree that he
was a man of only ordinary
ability. He succeeded by keeping
everlastIngly at 1t.

The Approaching Elections.

The elections which take place on
the 9TH of next month will not have
especial national significance. Massa-
chusetts and Rhode Island indulge in
their annual choice of State officers, and
MARYLAND. Mississippi, and Kentucky
name State officers for four years. In
Nebraska minor officials will be chosen
and in New York and New Jersey
members Of the legislature will be voted
for. In New York City the campaign
has more than passing interest through
the endeavor OF independent Democrats
and Republicans to overthrow Tam
many by elccting a fusion candidate for
sheriff. as well as several Judges. In
Philadelphia there Is a contest over the
mayoralty between the regular Rcpub-
licans and a reform party
1t is probable that Gov. Pothier will
be reelected in Rhode Island, and the
friends of Gov Foss claim that he will
again be chosen in Massachusetts,, al
though the outcome Is by no means
certain Maryland might ordinarily be
