ACCORDING TO THE SIGNS OF
THE TINES

In this season devoted to the dis
semination of the idea that there is
q spirit pervading society devoted TO
the distribution of peace upon earth
and good will toward me it is well
that we are able to offer some con-
crete examples of the progress to-
ward this high ideal. In the face of
some recently gathered statistics We
are able to say without fear of con-
tradiction that while the rich may be
growing richer, it is also true that
they are growing less selfish with
their wealth.
Never before in the history of any
country have the known donations
and bequests for charitable and phi
lanthropic purposes reached the
grand total of the year that is just
closing. for the records show that
the figures reach no less than s24s,-
o07.s75. Last year the total was
only s163.1s7.125. and the year be-
fore only SIS. 600. 900. so that in the
space of two years the spirit of phi
ianthropy in the United States has
increased s173.007s75.
Bat this is not ALL in the shifting
ecenes of human activity there is
everywhere better tendencies. There
ere great movements on the horizon,
there are more people who have been
converted to the doctrine of the
square deal. more people who believe
in the Give and let live" policy:
there are nlere who bear signs that
they are impressed with the fact that
the awakened conscience of the
county is coming to be potent fac
tor in the government Of public and
private affairs. The world is grow
ing better and human society is mel
lowing with the age.
The Yakima herald. [volume] (North Yakima, W.T. [Wash.]) 1889-1914, 1912-01-03

of this very characteristic. They see
in 1t the rugged honesty of man
who is willing to stand four square
on the ground OF his convictions and
they honor him for it.
The question is not on the passing
of Roosevelt or the looming of Roose-
welt or the break in his relations
with the administration, but in the
fact that as a pubIicist he has seized
upon the incongruity of abrogation
and arbitration, in the Inconsistency
of the attitude which would break
diplomatic relations for the one the
DRY and invite them for the other.
Roosevelt does not stand for arbi-
tration on questions involving the ma
tional honor. neither is he against
abrogation. but his present point of
view is that there should he consis-
teney in the attitude of the govern
ment on this as well as on all other
questions of policy.

Notoriety Does Not Buy Much

Notoriety as an asset is shrinking
in value. We may consider the case
of Lillian Graham and Ethel Conrad
the shooting showgirls, who were re-
Gently acquitted of deadly assault on
one w. E. d. Stokes. These young
women, like others of their class who
have preceded them, have gone into
vaudeville in the hope of making a
fortune through the advertising which
their unfortunate experience has given
them. We are told by the New York
papers that their reception is chilly
to the point of refrigeration, and
promising disappointment as to the
fortune and all that.
All this is good to read and TO hear;
for it proves that there is an eleva-
ton of the public taste in such mat
tiers as compared with a few years
ago. In fact, not since the days of
Truly Shattuck's debut, whose mother
shot a young man in the city of San
Francisco, has there been successful
exploitation of notoriety of this sort.
The more notable of such attempts
in recent times have been dismismal
failures-for example, the case of Nan
Patterson, who shot Caesar Young
and that of the Binford girl, associat-
ed with the Beattie tragedy. The pub
lie has grown tired of the stencil OF
this sort of thing and is glad to get
rid of it-Portland Telegram.

CONSERVATION OF VIEW YEARS
RESOLUTIONS

A new year is a new opportunity.
II is a fitting time to take a pros
pective and Retrospective view of
things 1t is this review of the sit
uation that has lead to practice Of
attempts to profit by the past and
bring the lessons of experience to aid
in the future. Hence the New Years
resolutions are not so much joke
after all, but have their wellsprings
of thought deep down in human ex-
perience.
A man is never down and out till
he confesses it to himself and as long
as there is hope there is opportunity.
There will be the usual fun pokei
n the New Years resolutions, but
the crop will be no less for all that.
Though many will be made. only to
be broken. there will be a careful
conservation Of many others and the
net result will be beneficial both 10
the individual and to those who come
within the radius of his influence.
We labor to cultivate and dissent
nate the Christmas spirit and We
have an equal obligation in fostering
and conserving the New Years res
plutions.

AND TARIFF BOARD

| The tariff commission has reported
among other things, as to the cost OF
suit of clothes, from the back of a
sheep to the back of a man. 1t has
traced the scale of profits at each ster
of the way, and the result has beer
offered the public through the mes
sage of the president of the United
States
The computation is based on suit
of clothes retailing at s23 and whole
sailing at $3.50. which, it is claimed
fairly represents the grade of cloth
ing worn by the average American.
With this as starting point, the
tariff board finds that the original
wool grower whom Mr. Taft classes
as farmer. receives for the wool in
such suit, s2.23. His profit is SIS
cents
The manufacturer of the cloth in
the suit in question gets as his selling
price s4,7s, on which the board says
he makes profit of but % cents.
The next man on the list is the
wholesale clothing dealer, who re-
ceives from the retail dealer $3.50
for the suit, s2.1S of which is his
profit. The retail dealer marks the
suit s23.00. according to the tariff
board. and credits himself with a
profit of $3.50 on the suit
The Importance of this detail re-
port is two-fold. 1t furnishes a basis
for intelligent action by congress in
place of having to accept the evidence
of interested parties seeking for spec
ial and unmerited favors under laws
which are to reach into and levy
tribute upon every home in the coun-
try

CURRENT PRESS COMMENT
The Newsboy

The American newsboy occupies a
field of his own. There is nothing like
him in the whole animal kingdom.
He is keen, resourcefulf and reliant.
Like the rest of us. he may have his
faults. but his admirable virtues so
outweigh them. under any fair meas
urement that no one has the heart to
lay them up against him.
Many a useful citizen of this great
republic served his time on the streets
as a newsboy, and made his expert
ence there the basis of a future sue
cess.
The average newsboy may not be
especially bashful. The street wears
that away and substitutes a self-re-
lance and quick wit that serves him
better in the line of his daily vocation,
but there's a generous lot of energy,
enthusiasm and courage buttoned up
under the coat of the newsboy who
sells YOU his papers on the street.
What the newsboy lacks in humil-
ity. he more than makes up in dyna-
mic energy. There Is a real heroism
in the lives of some of the newsboys,
a heroisnr of which the public knows
nothing. Some of them courageously
and uncomplainingly bear burdens
that would make a mollycoddle whim-
per.
The little paper merchants of the
streets are bread winners; and a
bread winner of tender years has al
ready laid a right foundation for flu
ture self-respeet and usefulness when
he has learned to earn his living hon.
estly instead of to beg or steal it, or
accept it as gift.--Los Angeles Ex-
press.

Cater to the local market Better
sell for cash at home than ship 10
commission merchants and take
chances in getting satisfactory re-
turns. There is an increasing ten
dency TO cut out the middlemen in
the disposition OF produce. This
should be encouraged, for 1t would
mean larger profits for the producer
and lower cost of living for the con-
sumner. It is a mammoth problem
in the large cities, and will be diff
cult TO solve, but there is no question
but what there will be rapid progress
in the development of plans which
will eliminate middlemen TO a great
extent.-Market Growers Journal

QUESTIONABLE INTERVENTION

| Six of the great powers appeare
before the Chinese commissioners who
represent the warning forces in the
F1owery Kingdom and who are seek
! ing a basis for peace. There powers
presented a joint note in which 1t was
i pointed out that the present struggle
seriously affected not only China her.
self, but the material interests of for
eigners in that country. While strict
neutrality would be preserved, the
lpowers nevertheless deemed sit worth
while to point out the necessity of
bringing the present disturbances to
an early end" Let us look at the six
powers who thus intervene" at a
time when the progressive revolution

vert a government by an alien despot-

There is Russia, marching now in
Persia to loot her There is Great
Britain that destroyed the Boer re-
publics and is now swallowing Egypt.
There are France and Germany, fresh
from the division of Morocco. There
is Japan. that recently seized Korea
as before it seized Formosa. Now
there finally is Uncle Sam. in mighty
bad company.
If six powers had signed an identi-
cal note during the war between the
states and pointed out that the strug-
gle not only seriously affected this
country but the material interests of
foreigners as well. and we had been
hidden with half-veiled threats, to
bring the disturbances to an early
end" it is probab Bile that the language
of diplomacy would have proved mad
eauate to carry our response. ii
China now were a great and powerful
state with its potential military re-
sources developed in full measure, the
six powers would not have united in
policy that in it's execution easily
might come to crush movement
that otherwise is destined TO estab-
lish the liberties of a people.

A New-Year Desire

In the approaching year may we
keep our reverence unimpaired for
the hum ble-minded and those who
have suffered much; our humor alert
for our own mistakes and our self
sufficiency, and not at any time
wreak 1t upon the aged, the crippled
and the obscure. May we guard
childhood and honor age, however
infirm and petulant, because it has
gone long way on the same road
that bruises our feet; and ever seek
to prolong the brief moment of joy
as it visits children and lovers. May
we have the grace to rejoice in the
from generation to generation, and
to be purified by the mystery in
which we dwell-the night silences
and the wonder of our inner life.
May we know that humanity is vast
er than any creed of its devising, any
church of its buildings. any religion of
its shaping. May we look upon the
widespread spectacle of human suf-
fering and, having endured to look
upon it, learn to know our single life
seemingly so unioue-as a drop of
that infinite sea, When it comes our
progress we shall not long dwell with
happiness or with success, may we
clear our spirit of bitterness, and in
calm strength continue at the work

SOME EDUCATIONAL IDEALS

The schoolmasters have come and
gone. This morning they are back
at their posts of duty and no doubt
carry with them not only the mem
orv of a pleasant association but A
deeper impression of some of the
ideals of education that were voiced
in the discussions that made the pro-
grams of the meeting.
Summing up the value OF the meet
ing both those who are engaged in
the profession and those who are lay
men interested in the work of the
public schools only as it touches the
general social life of the community,
1t would seem that the most import
ant lesson of many that might be
gained from the meeting of the asso-
citation was the setting out of certain
distinct and positive ideals as the OBJ
iect and end of educational work.
Prominent among these is the idea
that one of the prime purposes of the
schools is to fit the pupils for life
outside the schools. The training OF
the child has first Of all the object
and end Of making him a more eff
cient factor in human society, more
representative citizen of the state. In
the working out of that idea it will
be seen that the school life should
be made to promote the best interests
of the community life of which 1t is
la part. Schools in an agriculture
community must make some conces-
sions to the agricultural needs and
vary their courses of study according
lily. 1t is manifest also that a more
purely commercial and a more dis
tinctly manufacturing center would in
like manner have to vary its instruc'
ton in certain we'll defined lines.
Then there is the question of wha
education should mean to the child
and the ideal set is that we shall ed
ucate for moral character and fol
mental power One prominent edu
Gator in an address that went at tn,
very heart of the matter said tina
more depended upon how the studen
studied than what he studied. Tha

of thought was worth more than tn

ROOSEVELT HAS SPOKEN

A great many people have been
wanting to hear from Roosevelt and
wondering what he would say when
he had brken his long silence. But
in the meantime Roosevelt had had
no occasion to say anything and kept
his counsel. This silence has been
translated in many ways, and accord
ing to the light of many minds. We
have been told Of the passing OF
Roosevelt and of the cunning OF
Roosevelt and of many other traits
and characteristics that his attitude
might mean.
And now that Roosevelt has spo-
ken upon a question of great public
interest there will be the same wild
search for a motive Interior or other
wise that lead him TO speak his
mind. Roosevelt has spoken and hi
thought runs counter to that Of
President Taft A hasty conclusion
might lead us to believe that Taf
and Roosevelt have come to the part
ing of the ways, but it would not only
be a hasty conclusion but fault!
one as well.
Roosevelt has not spoken his minC
on the Russian abrogation and thu
pending peace treaties in order to b'
ANTAGONISTS to the administration
but rather because 1t is his homes

thing that he does, A great body o
