Canadian Parliament
To Vote on Reciprocity

OTTAWA, Ontario. April 29.-That the
reciprocity pact with the United States
is to be pressed to final consideration
at the present session of parliament.
and that 1t will continue to have the
guiding hand Of Sir Wilfrid Laurter,
was made plain today. Sir Wilfrid an
nounced that he had practically aban-
doned his plans to participate in the
coronation exercises in London.
Under the rules of the Canadian par
lament 1t is possible for the opposition
party to blockade legislation almost in
definitely.
Sir Wilfrid announces that 1t has come
to his knowledge that the opponents OF
the reciprocity agreement intend to
take full advantage of the rules in de-
laying a vote on the agreement he
has, therefore, practically made up his
mind TO remain in Ottawa for the pur-
pose of personally supervising the strug-
gle over the agreement.

LIGHT ON ETOMOLOGY
OF WORD CAMMORO

To the Editor Of THE TIMES:
The Italian dictionary gives this
meaning to two words: Cammoro-
Rustic, Countryman. Cammorista-
Waiting maid.
The last word is used in books on
criminology and Jurisprudence. The
Commorro was originally a political
organization.

Work as a Saving Grace.

Some of our European friends think
wealthy Americans are too selfish to
retire from active business in time to
enjoy what they have accumulated.
The criticism is not 50 common in this
country, where people are better able
to get a close-range view. Indeed, a
prominent manufacturer in Cleveland,
"a years old, has recently declared
that too many business men leave off
work and devote themselves to the
ease and comforts of rest, which their
means make possible. He thinks they
would live longer and happier il they
would stick to active business. For
himself, he proposes to die in the
harness"
1t has been admitted by scientists
who have gone into the subject that
sudden retirement from life OF very
active labor has marked the downward
trend to many approaching old age
The mind, abruptly freed from stimu-
lating toll to which 1t was accustomed
finds the change hard TO adapt Itself
to. OF course, where infirmity or i'll
health overtakes a man. complete re-
lief from business often becomes
necessary, but nevertheless many a life
is undoubtedly prolonged by the tonic
OF regular routine exertion.
But what Americans are beginning
to learn as the best system of all ii
that moderation in work and play, and
the two properly mixed as they 60

Products Of Foreign Missions.

The Outlook we'll says that If disbe-
levers in foreign missions could be in
duced to read anything on the subject
they would profit by reading an
article by DR.. James L, Barton, the
foreign secretary of the American
board, in a recent number of the Mis-
sionary Herald, entitled "By-Products
Of Foreign Missions" The article
shows, what students of the situation
quite we'll understand, that as a direct
result of the foreign missionary's ac-
tivities in the far east slavery is dis
appearing, the spirit of humanity and
be better understood and appreciated;
the opium curse and the bound feet
are being overcome and released, the
former slowly but steadily, the latter
rapidly; better civic and sanitary con-
ditions exist, the tone of moral life is
rising, the intolerable bane which caste
and ancient ignorance placed upon
womanhood Is being lifted>and in BUSH
ness, sociaL1nd moral realms the ho-
rizon of life is broadening, one very
appreciable effect of which is felt by
the commercial interests of this and
other western countries that are sup
plying the new demands of these newly
awakened people.
The Outlook is correct, we think, in
pronouncing these direct, not by-pro-
ducts, of missions. What more con-
vincing results could be placed on ex-
hibition? They are the ones to bring
to the nonchurch world with which to
win its approval and sympathy. They
strike the world as tangible and help
to draw its attention to the more
spiritual benefits so dear to the mis-
sionary himself. They are, indeed, es-
sential elements in the cause of foreign
missions. The man or the woman who
can go from democratic, Christian
America and raise the standard of liv-
ing, increase the sphere of comfort and
happiness and usefulness of races in
other lands has a claim on enlight-
ened manhood, no matter under what
auspices or influence the work is done.

Compensation to wOrkingmen for
Industrial Accidents.

Carrying out the design Of a resolu-
ton adopted by the recent legislature.
Governor Aldrich has named a commits
sion to inquire into the subject of COM
pensation to working men for injuries
from industrial accidents and report a
measure to the next NebBaska legis-
lature. This is probably the way best
calculated to make progress toward a
solution of this big problem, which is
by no means peculiar to any one state.
In fact, it is a problem less pressing
upon an agricultural state like Ne
braska than upon those states which
include great Industrial centers. The
Nebraska commission will have the CO.
operation of other bodies and organi-
cations that are working along the
same lines, as we'll as an opportunity
to take advantage of the results of
experiments that are being tried in
several states where laws have been
enacted and may be tested in the
courts.
The main obstacles to be overcome
in any scheme of wage workers COM
pensation have been pointed out by the
New York courts, which declared un-
constitutional a law which had been
put upon the statute books of that
state The constitutional guarantees
against taking property without pro-
cess of law or depriving citizens of the
equal protection of the courts were
there successfully invoked. The main
question of the desirability and
need of providing machinery for
securing compensation to the vic
Tins of hazardous employments with
out compelling them to submit to the
lottery of costly and protracted litiga-
ton is now scarcely questioned.
The fact that we in Nebraska, be-
cause we have no mines and but COM
paratively little manufacturing activ-
tiles, are not confronted by such acute
Industrial conditions as elsewhere may
make 1t possible for us to work out
and contribute something positive
toward the achievement of the great
end in view, which is to lift this ter
rible burden from the individual wage
worker and spread 1t over all of the
industrial group or over society as
whole.

The Frenzied Crv FOR Thrillsrs.

To what bounds of reckless inhu-
manity is the insatiate thirst for ex-
element leading the American crowd
Speed mania has run riot with 1t.
Daredevil adventure has become its
passion. Death itself does not appall 1t.
At the Indianapolis motor speedway
the wrecked machine with its dead
driver is kicked out of the way to
make room for the oncoming cars,
cheered to the end by thousands too
eagerly awaiting the winner, to waste
a glance on the lifeless contestant. On
with the race; it is only to the swift.
At Denver the thrill of an aeroplane
meet comes to its climax In the fatal
fall of the record-breaker and the
ghoulish crowd rushes in to tear pieces
from his clothing for souvenirs.
Two aviators drop from their craft
into Lake Michigan and drown, but the
Chicago meet, "the greatest in the
world" cannot be marred by interrupt
ton. There are plenty of manbirds yet
in the air. Watch them.
The tragic death of Aviator Frisbie
in Kansas brings out the sordidness of
this frantic spirit more keenly than
the others. The aviator finds his ma
chine disordered and tells the crowd
so. "Faker, faker," is the answer.
smarting under the taunt, he rises to
height of 100 feet, turns, his ma
chine dips and plunges to earth. Fris-
bic lives only for an hour.
The wild mobs that surround the
bull pens in Mexico have been likened
to the crowds about the Forum where
the gladiators fought in ancient Rome.
How much unlike them are some of
our own American crowds coming to
be? What is aviation aad motoring
giving us in return for what 1t is TAX
ing from US? The righteous wrath and
indignation of the moral people of our
land spent itself in the sight of black
bruiser beating to insensibility a white
bruiser at Reno, but both men are liv-
ing today. very much richer In pocket
for the experience, however disgusting
prize fighting may be.
Under the guise Of science we are
in danger Of making of aviation de-
basing and degrading pastime. And
the worst of 1t is our thirst for thrill
ers leads US to insist on them no mat
ter what the cost.

Savings of the People.

An economist shows by a printed
table that Switzerland leads other
countries in its savings bank deposits.
This is noteworthy, because Switzer-
land also leads in its private and postal
savings banks, with special emphasis
upon the latter. It's savings are not
attributed so much to the size Of the
average account as to the fact that
nearly half of the population are de-
positors.
This is a splendid argument for the
postal savings bank system which we
have but recently put into operation
in the United States. How better can
we gauge the average prosperity and
frugality of the working people Of any
country than by their savings in the
bank? Switzerland is not the only old
world country whose people have been
benefited in this way through their
system of savings banks. Germany
leads all world countries in the
number of depositors with 100000
and little Japan comes next with a.
100000. In the amount Of savings in
bank the United States ranks fourth
among all countries, but we have not
quite 100000 depositors out of a
population of 100000. Our aver
age bank deposit is more than $500,
showing that our total is kept up not
by the number of the depositors so
much as by the enormous size OF some
deposits.
What we want to do is to bring up
the number of our depositors. which
the postal savings system is expected
to do and has already begun to do. 1t
is being eagerly embraced by the small
wage Garner, by children as we'll as
adults, and the moral and economic
effect of the lesson is certain to en-
nance vitality the national life. The
chief value of postal savings will come
from teaching the lesson of more fru-
gality, the habit of saving.

Just a Family Trait.

The secret Of John d. BOOKSELLERS
immense wealth-acquiring proclivities
has been explained by a relative, who
says II is Just a family trait This
naive remark was made at a recent
family reunion when the subject of
John DIS millions came up. Evidently
some members Of the family have not
the trait so pronounced In them as 1t is
in the famous Standard Oil king. He
seems to have carried 1t to its logical
conclusions. In him 1t has come to it's
finest attenuation. Some folks make
a little money by the hardest kind Of
knocks and some have the knocks with
out making the money, but here is a
man with whom money making is a
mere habit, just family characteristic
That, indeed, is a fine explanation,
for 1t both rids Mr.. Rockefeller of the
blame for acquiring such an immodest
sum Of money and deprives him of the
credit, leaving him free to enjoy the
comfort of one and the modesty OF the
other. He ought to let this cheer him
now in his years of anxiety about get
ting rid of his wealth before he has to
die. Let the blame fall back on the fam
lily from whom he inherited this pecul-
lar little trait. All the Rockefellers,
this one tells US, are in rather comfort
able circumstances. One would imagine
as much, even without knowing that
they all possessed this ancestral trait,
knowing the magnanimity of John D.
Now let those who find 1t profitable
to dilate about the force of heredity
go into consultation with themselves
over the Rockefeller case. 1t offers a
splendid field for wide speculation.

Art of Litsraturs and Adyerti,ing.

The sale of books in this country is
tremendous. Streams of them poured
of the presses last year, nor did they
clog up or longest book stores; they
were sold ard fortunes were made and
most of those sold probably were read;
we do not know. SO far as quantity
goes, 1t might be called the Periclean
age of literature, or golden age, per-
haps, would suit better.
What was the chief factor that ig-
ured in this tremendous trafic in
books, the books themselves, their
merit, the art of literature, or was It
that other coarser of arts, the CONNER
cial art of advertising? There are
reasons to believe that the latter, ju-
diciously distributed in printers ink,
worked a very vital and potent infiu-
ence in results. 1t is quite probable
that many Of the books, meritorious
and otherwise, would have gone beg
ging for purchasers and readers but
for the skill and genius Of the en-
ergetic and ever-resoureeful advertis-
ing agent.
Advertising has become quite as
much Of an art as literature. though
1t may not be one of the finer arts.
And no business. or even profession,
is willing to risk itself wholly without
it today. Some professions with ir-
reconcilable ethics imagine they must
not become corrupted with the baseT
element of advertising. but that Ia
only when 1t has the communicating
influence of flthy luere attached to It;
free advertising, that Is. advertising

Presidential Travelling.

Preparations for an extensive tour
Of the country by President Taft nat
urally draws attention to presidential
travelings as having become much
more common of late years. 1t may
even now be put down, we believe, as
an unwritten part of the constitution
that the president is expected, II not in
duty bound, to make as many personal
inspection trips during his term of
office into the various sections and ma
tional possessions as his time and cir
cumstances will permit A president
who would plant himself in the White
House and remain there except when
pursuing his own pleasure and conven-
fence, immovable to the demands of
the people for him to lend his presence
to their festive and everyday occa-
sions, would be severely and Justly
criticised. Presidential travelling was
not so much in evidence in the early
days because what there was of 1t was
on a small scale, and it was on a small
scale because the country had not
reached it's present huge proportions
with it's ninety millions of people scat
tered from ocean to ocean, all eager to
see and honor the chief executive OF
the nation.
The fact that presidential travelling
necessarily has political aspects, par
ticularly during first term, need not
detract from its usefulness nor impair
the dignity of the office. The presi-
dent who wants to represent the true
interests of all the people must exert
himself to keep in touch with them,
and 1t is to the people that he must
answer for his stewardship. When a
presidential contest is on those who
are trying to make capital against his
administration are constantly going up
and down the land, free to assail him,
and with no responsibility of their
own. The president can also get a
better hearing for his explanation of
what he is doing and trying to do by
going out among the people.
Presidential travelling is hard on the
president. It's exactions and exhaus-
tions are little known or appreciated
by outsiders. 1t has, however, as we
have said, come to be part of the
regular duties devolving upon the
president, and far from being dis
carded in favor of notions of dignity
and ease, the people would not consent
to it's abandonment without a mighty
protest.
