In this city are some of the oldest fam
lilies in America. They-and especially
their women folk-pride themselves on
their social standing, their ancenstry.
their descent from fine, God fearing stock.
Recently the mayor of this city. elected
on reform platform, lecideds to try to
do away with some of the remnants of
the DID, vicious conditions. He wanted
to reform his city again.
He made an appeal for assistance to the
first families In some quarters he met
with encouragement of course, but In
others
Well, 1t is said he found that the first
families are willing to have the town re-
formed If 1t can be done without incon-
venience to them"
A newspaper-not of the city in ques-
tion-commenting on this fact, heads its
item Painless Virtue"
Would you reform your city or your
family or your life?
Do not try to do 1t in the painless
virtue" way. 1t cannot be done.
Results are not achieved without ef-
fort Effort means striving, and striving
means pain. In the sweat of mans brow
shall he eat bread, and in the same
sweat. strengthened and concentrated
shall he achieve virtue. There Is no royal
road to reform any more than there Is
to learning.
In great affairs, as In little, the lesson
Is the same. You must work for what
you want you must be willing to incon-
venience yourself and be inconvenienced.
Herein lies the real obstacle to the
coming of the millennium.
Friend, neighbor and his wife, you are
are willing to let others work for civic
righteousness. You are fond of declaim-
ing against the political evils of the day.
If you live In large city you are prone
to talk about the bosses" and how they
misgovern your city.
But how much do you do to fight them?
How much are you willing to incon-
venience yourself for good government?

Mine Operated for 100 Years

The Sterling iron mine. the oldest
mine of Importance In New York, has
operated continuously for over 100
years. 1t is situated at Lakeville, in
Orange county, southeastern New York,
and is rich in historical associations.
The deposit Is of magnetic in a gneiss
country. The ore is hoisted in a flat
inclined shaft and hand sorted on pick
ing conveyors, says the Engineering
and Mining Journal The company owns
1900 acres, including lake over the
mine workings. Substantial stone
buildings are erected and electrical
power chiefly used.

The Oath of Service

England inducted into office the other
day new lord chief justice. He is the
occupant of seat of mighty renown
and ancient line. 1t is the second highest
judicial place in the legal world of Eng
land
The new occupant is Sir Rufus Dan
iel Isaacs. He is the first Jew in the
history of England to hold the office. He
is not the first Jew to hold high judicial
rank in England, for in 1873 Sir George
Jessel, Jew, was made master of the
rolls.
OF this appointment Arnold Bennett,
the famous novelist says:
A Jew had been made master of the
rolls, spectacle at which England shiv-
cred, and then, perceiving no sign of dis
aster shrugged its shoulders
Some Englishmen haye criticised the
appointment of Sir Rufus Isaaes. But
II he lives UP to the terms of the "oath
OF service which he took on assuming
the office neither they nor England will
have cause to regret the appointment
Here is the oathsf as91st H4e.4t
Il swear thataI viii do right to all
manner of people after the laws and
usages of this realm without fear or
favor, affection or III will, 50 help me
God.'
DO right to all manner of people with
out fear or favor,
Is 1t fortunate for us and for our con-
sciences that most of us are not called
upon in the ordinary course of our duties
TO take such an oath? For who of us,
looking back on his past life. could truly
lay that he had lived up to it? And
yet 1t is noble ideal!
Insofar as We set for ourselves and
live up to a standard such as that
which Is embodied in this ''oath of serv-
ice we are qualified to appear at the
bar. of conscience with clean hands.
Like all ideals, it shines high and clear
above and beyond us. We may not reach
1T. We may only approach 1t.
But in the approach there is the salts
faction of good attempted. The setting
of the standard is not enough. Effort
must be made to approximate 1t il We
would live righteous lives.
After all
Is not this oath-'I swear that will
do right to all manner of people"-only
a judicial expression of the Golden Rule?
DO unto others as you would have
others do unto YOU"

lsV1, few of us had heard of him un-
less we were in the army. He was
known to army men as an engineer and
god one but to the main body of
Americans and to the rest of the world
he was only a name on the army list.
Now he lives among the mmortals-
because he was set to do a Job and
did it,
With Its accomplishment have come
fame and the opportunity of doing still
further good work. From many cor
ners of the country hands are out
stretched to Colonel Goethals becko on
ing him to come and do other things
that must be done. His name has been
suggested as that of a good man for
commissioner of police of New York
city. Dayton, O., wanted him for city
manager"
When the big Job" Is done Colonel
Goehtls will have no lack of work
1t Will seek him out, as it has a habit
of seeking out all men and women
who are able to do it. They cannot
escape it, even If they WISH for the
habit is ingrained in their natures.
He was an able engineer before the
first American shovel overturned the
first clod of dirt on the isthmus. He
will be an efficient man long after the
first steamer sails proudly from Pan
anna to Colon.
But 1t Is no disparagement of the
man or of his work to say that he has
grown with 1T. He is better man
than he was before he began his mag
nificent task.
Stature, mental and physical, grows
with exercise. Ability increases as il
Is put to service.
Set yourself to do a task, however
difficult, and you will gain in strength
1t may be too much for you-you may

Colonel Goethals did not know when
he began the digging of the canal that
he would be able to carry 1t through
to triumphant completion.
No one else can tell what he can DO
until he makes the attempt.
