THE LIKENESS or MEN TO LIONS.

Men are-so the poets say-like lions
in battle. They roar-so their wives
say--like lions over their meals. And
now comes the relation Of another in
cident that accentuates the lionlike
nature of men or the manlike CHAR
actertstics Of lions just as you choose
to take it.
A male lion In the Lincoln park zoo
at Chicago lost his mate, Nellie, thru
death For days he refused food and
lay in stupor of despair. His keepers
feared that he had determined 10 sui

pushed their way to the front of his
cage to observe and sympathize with
this exhibition of deafness love and
fidelity. And still he lay unmindful or
the world and its futile activities. For
Nellie was dead. Her purr was heard
no more. And he was lonely and the
world was blank and worthless.

booming a Million.
[Chicago Tribune. ]


When the schools of the country
opened their doors the other morning
to receive the children's army there
were 100000 boys and girls missing.
They failed to answer the call of the
school bell at $50 because they had
answered the call Of the factory whistle
at Z.
One million children under Is, who
bell rang, have been swallowed up by
industry. According to Owen r. Love
JOY, secretary Of the national child
labor committee, nearly all these L.
100000 boys and girls are doomed to a
life of poverty. wretchedness. or crime.
All the girls and nearly ninetenths OF
the boys under Is who go to work, Mr..
Lovejoy asserts, and cites statistics to
prove his assertion, are entering low
wage industries Their lack Of educa
ton combined with tender constitutions
such as they must have at SO young
period. makes them fit for blind
alley" occupations only. They grow up
into manhood without trades and with
poor physical health.
Much has been said about the de-
ficiency Of our school system. Nothing,
however. condemns it so strongly as
the 100000 handicapped boys and girls
who are allowed to drift into occupa-
lions, to drift into life, alone and I'M
aided, with a miserable education and
no advice.
In the face OF these 100000 children
what argument can prevail against the
insistent call for vocational training
and vocational guidance in public
schools? The schools of the country
must extend their influence and activity
so as to give children not merely book
education but also practical help in
determining on the vocation they are
to follow. or else stand condemned as
backward and inefficient.

THE LESSON Of A MODERN cAsNERy.

Not many years ago familiarity with
the processes of a canning factory was
equivalent to self denial of canned
goods for Individual and personal food
PURPOSES. 1t isn't so now.
A man who good many years ago
spent two weeks in canning Factory
went thru local plant the other Day
He remembered the old factory as an
unclean thing. He came away from
the new with the knowledge that food
NAV be canned in a factory and IN
large quantities with entire cleanliness
and sanitation For the new factory
was clean Its processes were carried
on with very little handling Of the ma :
teria1 by the operators. Machines d'd

clean. The operators were clean. II

to end. sloppy in places, but clean
In the old factory tomatoes were
canned mostly. They were peeled ny

material was carried TO an elevator

dirty floors and without regard 70 h4th

like. The factory sneled to heaven
sour bacterial odor. The girls stuffed
the cans with their hands. Altogether
the old canning factory was line
thing TO avoid. So was its product by
these at all particular.
Because Of the pure food law and
its enforcement and by reason Of the
change IN the understanding OF their
responsibility toward the public BY
those who run canneries the new fac
tory and Its output is clean ana
safe and palatable. Perhaps tie
change is more justly attributable 10
the law than the changed attitude OF
the manufacturer but let us not neglect

The suggestion is toward sensible

\ FAILURE OF GOVERNMENT

Senator Cummins expresses the opin-
ion that the senate committee can not
get together on currency bill.
This curretscy and banking reform
has been debated for several years now.
and if congress can not get together
the failure will mark the inefficiency
of our way of doing things,
1t must become more and more evil
dent to every student of affairs that
there must be some better way of
"sugaring off" at Washington than we
have yet devised.
President Wilson has been wholly
right in taking definite leadership in
doing what we have protested to want
done, and have voted to do. But even
the will of strong man in the presi-
Dental chair does not seem to be
enough.
In the end re shall come to some
form OF responsible cabinet or ministry
whose business it shall be to shape the
legislation promised by the dominant
party
In the meantime the republican lead
ers are gaining nothing by baking the
president. The people believe bank
ing and currency law should be passed.
Wilson will carry the country on the
issue of the Glass-Owen bill.

LEAS1N WALL LAKE.


If reports are true, 1t is easy to
guess why Wall lake has been leased
to Fred Austin for term Of years. 1t
or Smith, or whoever he was, that was
instrumental in putting the deal thru,
is the father-in-l law of Mr.. Austin. 1t
is. of course, only natural that the
father law wanted the son-in-law
to do we'll and he couldn't figure out
any other way for him to do 1t except
to lease him the lake. Now Austin has
the lake, the water In 1t, and the same
old father-in-law. Why rats! even
your uncle Falstaff would probably

hadn't had father in-law. Why

the water from his water tank too. Too
many people fail to realize the re-
sponsibility that lies on a father-in-
law. Why, honestly boys. II it hadn't
been for our father-in-law, we would
probably have been an old bachelor.
and why shouldn't Austin's father-in-
law do something besides giving him
start in life for a happy family? Too

a somewhat unusual season this year
in that the weather has been unsea-

Has It ever occurred to you that the
small products of this state are worth
