Money-Making Not All.

Charles M. Schwab, the MIL
lionaire, who was once the head
of the steel trust, has remarked
that education and culture unfit
young men for success in life.
Perhaps this is largely true,
SO far as Schwab's observation
extends. But it must be under
stood that the brain of Charles
M. Schwab has a very limited
horizon.
Great successes are being
achieved every day for the de-
velopment and betterment OF
humanity, which Schwab can
no more appreciate and compre-
bend than a pig can understand
art.
The pig-come to think OF it
has a tiny little brain. But
every fraction of it's intellectual
energy is devoted to the welfare
of it's stomach.
You see a lot of so-called hui
man beings that seem to be built
on the same plan. There is a
sort of fatality leading them to
the accumulation of money.
They have marvellous cunning in
getting rich; but if you touch
their minds on any other ques-
ton you find them blank.
The man who thinks of moth
ing but making money may not
be capable of realizing that 9TH
er people can think of nobler
purposes. Like the pig, with it's
snout so deep in the trough
that it's eyes are buried in the
slop, it's human prototype may
also be unable to see or think of
anything in the world but the
one business of gettingall that's
to be got. ... ..
1t is right and proper that the
pig should have no thought but
for it's stomach-it is made that
way. But with man it is differ
ent; to have a pigs mind he
must acquire it by killing the
best there is in him. By will he
renounces his manhood and de-
bases himself to the level of the
animal. He spills no blood, but
he murders man to make a
pig. It is the basest of suicides,
and perhaps the commonest.
1t is right and proper, too,
that a man should make all the
money he can get honestly and
use it wisely. The man who
makes money as a means to an
end, is not to be despised. He is
doing his part of the worlds
work, and the part is no small
or ignominious one.
But there are other duties in
the world besides making
money. There are qualities in
the human mind and soul infin-
itely more important than those
which make large accumula-
tions of money possible.-Mem-
phis News-Scimitar.

Water will not stand on a
hillside nor will it stay on a well
rounded roadway. A drag used
after rains will keep your roads
well rounded, fill up your chug
holes and do away with your
mud in a very short while after
a rain. The drag forms the
cheapest means of maintaining
a road and is the solution of the
road problem in sections where
the soil is suitable and macadam
is too costly. Come to Newport
Saturday, May 81 and hear D
Ward King tell what a simple
$3.50 road drag will do. Mr..
King not only tells what it will
do, but gives you an object les
son on the same line. It will be
worth your while to be here.

The Civic Improvement
League has been very success
full in all it's past campaigns and
Newport has shown desire for
beauty and sanitation this
spring, which has been a revela-
ton to all of us. AS summer
days come on and hot weather
saps our energy, let's rekindle
this enthusiasm and keep alive
and active the fires of civic i'm
provement, pride and love of
neat attractive homes. Weeds
and high grass in the street and
along the walks have in the past
been the ugliest feature of our
summer dress, and these same
old weeds are bobbing up again.
And while you are swatting the
fly for health, just smite these
weeds for looks.

Big Ditch Nearly Ready.

Completion of dry excavation on the
Panama Canal just ten days ahead of
schedule time, advanced the work on
the reat waterway almost to the final
stage. Much digging and cleaning out
remains to be done in Culebra Cut and
at ohter points along the route, but all
of this will be accomplished by mann
moth dreGges floating on the surface of
the canal.
An army of men will be busy during
the next four weeks running steam
shovels and other equipment and ma
terial, including So miles of railroad
track from the nine-mie channel Ia
Culebra Cut between Gamboa dixie and
Pedro Miguel locks. This is prepare
tory to turning water into the channel
from Gatun Lake, on the Atlantic side,
on October s. Eve days in adyan,e Of
the date set for the dynamiting of
Gamboa dixie. The water will be in
troduced through four 26-inch pipes
extending underneath the dixie. and
although the FIVE day period hardly
will suffice to I'll the channel to one
third the canal level enough will be let
in to act as a cushion against the ex.

CONSCIENCE AND VACCINATION.

TO any one to whom figures mean
anything or who is willing to accept
the absolutely undoubted results of ex-
perience, vaccination as a preventive
of smallpox is an established fact. Ii
the good of the whole people is TO be
regarded as principle of disease pre-
vention as it is in other matters of
government, then vaccination should
be universally compulsory. That it Is
not so is enlightened people. In such
well-governed country as Great
Britain, where vaccination may almost
be said to have originated, or at least
where it was placed on a definite basis
by the discovery of Jenner, vaccina-
ton is still matter of conscience.
That is, anyone who asserts that he
has conscientious objections to vaccine
ton may be permitted to set aside the
regulations Of the health authorities,
which would protect everybody from
loathsome disease like smallpox.
AS set forth in recent number of the
London Times" in reply to parlia-
mentsry inquiry. Mr.. Burns, president
of the Local Government Board, fur
nishes figures which show, thanks, per-
haps, to the unintelligent agitation OF
the Observation-Disclosures, that the per-
centage Of persons exempted from vac
cination on account of conscientious
objections as compared with the total
number of births from 1907 to 1912 in
erased from 6. 3 per cent. in the former
year to L. 3 per cent. in 1908 and thence
rapidly to 3l.6 per cent. in 1912. The
tolerance OF a privilege which permits
one out of three persons practically to
nullify the effect of proved proven
tive health measure is an absurdity in
this day, in the opinion of The Jour
nal of the American Medical Associa-
ton, and will merely result in large
measure in return to the horrible
small .pox conditions of former days in
Great Britain. The prevalence OF
smallpox in the United States during
the past year is no doubt due to the
absence of strict regulation in regard
| to vaccination, the lax enforcement OF
/ regulations already provided or the
total ignoring of these regulations.
| The matter of vaccination should no
where depend on any sort of objections
Of an individual. but should be deter
mined solely by scientific and statisti-
cal knowledge.

OYSTERMEN PROTEST.
Indignant Over Alleged Lease o
Severn River Bottom.

The reported lease of the bottom of
the Severn River, between Horseshoe
Bar and the bridge of the Maryland
Electric Railways Company, has
caused great Indignation among the
local oystermen.
1t is said to have been leased for
the oyster cultivation. The lessee is
an owner of an adjacent shore prop
erty and a practical oysterman. The
ovstermen claim that the portion so
leased is natural bed, though it is
not included as such in the survey OF
the SheIlfsh Commission.
AS there is no remedy for the con
dition under the present law, the
oystermen will probably appeal to the
Shellfsh Commission to refrain from
leasing any more bottom in this sec
ton. as they hope for the passage OF
the law promised in the platform by
both parties, by which the commits
sioners may declare additional bottom
as natural beds if the facts warrant
it.
The oystermen have spared
statement of the case, and it has beer
signed by many oystermen of the
vicinity, who claim that they have
made good catches of oysters on the
bottom. which is now made the sub
ect of lease.

NINE MELBA COMING.
Greatest Of Opera Singers In Quaker
CITY Oct. %.

For the first time in four years.
local music lovers will have an OPP
portunity this fall to hear Madame
Melba, acknowledged the greatest
soprano of the day. in her trans-con-
tinental tour which opens in Toronto,
Canada, on September g. and closes
in New York with a return engage
ment late in the spring.
Madame Melba will appear in re-
eitsl at the Academy of Music, Phil
adelphia, on Thursday evening. Octo-
Der 23. Fresh from repeated tri-
umphs in the capitals Of Europe,
Melba will sing in Philadelphia early
in what promises to be the most tri-
umphant rans-continentsl tour of
her twenty-five years in concert.
Her present tour brings her to Amer
lea for the fret time in three years
and to Philadelphia for the first time
in four years.
Without a dissenting voice Melba
is acknowledged the finest soprano
Of this generation. Born in Melbourne,
Australia, of Scotch parentage,
Melba experienced strong opposition
at home to her determination to 90
on the operate stage. One of her
first efforts to give a cohcert under
her own management was baked by
little trip her father made among
the neighbors asking them not TO at
tend. Melba, nevertheless, gave her
concert to an audience Of two chill
dren of her own age.
Like many other singers of fame,
Madame Melba's wonderful voice
was not appreciated by several of
her early masters. When she final
ly sang for Madame Marchesi, the
greatest vocal teacher in the history
Of music, she was greeted with the
exclamation sat last have found a
star" From the time when, twelve
months later, Melba made her formal
debut to the pre- sent, she has been
acknowledged without peer on eth
ar the concert or the operate stage.

STRESS OF NEWSPAPER MAKING
And the Marvel That So Few Errors
Occur.

The real wonder Of newspaper MAX
ing is not that some errors occur, but
that relatively these are so few.
Consider facts
Between s in the morning and
3 80 in the afternoon the News
Leader gathers in the city or re-
ceives from its correspondents by
telegraph and mail ten full pages of
news. In these ten pages are to be
found some 573, 800 alphabet letters,
every one of which has to be written
by hand or by type writer or received
over the telegraph wire.
These have to be set on the ma
chimes and have TO be corrected at a
time when every second counts.
When il il remembered that this is
done in about seven hours, and that
the number Of word handled every
day is in excess of those printed in
the average novel, even relative aceu-
raey is remarkable. When, as
often happens, the number Of typo
graphical errors in $1,000 characters
printed on page can be counted on
the fingers VI ouS MANU. tue hSulcfN-
nent is marvel.
The same is true of the contents
Of what is printed. Misstatemt nts
of fact there are inevitably in every
issue of every newspaper. but how
few these are and how unimportant
in the main when the conditi ms are
taken into accounti The average
city representative of a paper like
The News Leader interviews dozens
of people during the course of a
morning, and must never show the
pressure of time in talking with any
of them.
He returns to his Office before
noon and writes at breakneck speed
from scanty notes the substance of
what he has gathered during the
morning. Occasionally he makes an
error, but in the vast majority of all
cases, despite his hurry, the errors
attributed to him are made by those
who give the information. Indeed,
il would be we'll for some of those
