NEW YORKS HORSE CARS.
The most thickly settled district in
the world has the poorest Transports

laration of the people who live IN the
congested portions of New York city.
The East side, where more people live
in block than in any other city in
the world, is kicking because it has
to depend on horse cars And the dis
trict has kick coming. Save the line
between Strong City and Cottonwood
Falls, in Kansas, and two or three
other places where this service is still
maintained, New York city is the only
city which still has to depend on this
mode OF transportation. And it is only
in that congested part of the New
York East side that this is the case.
The horse cars still run on the cross
town lines, sometimes for a block or
so following on the street levels I'M

THEY DID NOT DIE IN VAIN.

Nothing is easier than to cry out
against the sacrifice of heroes in the
tragedy of the Scott expedition to the
South Pole. It is the natural, the OBJ
vious view. The goal sought had al
ready been reached by the Norwegian
explorer, Captain Amundsen, ana such
additions to the knowledge of the
globe as might come from that source
had been gained. And it is u simple
matter to ridicule the whole quest of
science in the most remote and fear
full wastes of ice and snow on the face
of the earth.
But is this judgment sound? Is it
fair? Does it correspond with the
facts? Is the world no richer for the
heroic death of the men who won
their way to the South Pole and then
persisted on their return toward their
stores and their places of refuge to
wait for the ship which was to carry
them back to civilization?
How much is it worth to mankind
to have such an object lesson of
courage and fortitude? What is the
true value of an inspiring and thrill
ing tale of desperate battling against
the elements, largely for the express
purpose of proving that there were nc
barriers formidable enough on this
planet to keep men from planting
their feet and their flag On any spot
they might seek?
Think what Captain SCOTS victory
in defeat and death in triumph will
mean to British schoolboys, for all
time to come. Picture the flush and
glow of millions of young faces when
they read how the Union Jack was
carried to the South Pole, even at the
price of the lives of the heroes who
bore it there.
1t all goes back to the elemental
question of the effect upon The char
acter of the race, the manhood of the
world. If that is fine and high, if it
kindles new and lofty aspirations in
sluggish breasts and fills lrultitudes
of men with a new desire to prove
themselves equal to any call of duty
any promise of worthy fame, then the
cost of the Scott expedition vas not
heavy, if weighed in the balance with
its benefits

to declare that he was a professional

Professionalism must be driven out of

To clip his early morning nap
BY hackneyed tale of vagrant worm
by early songster caught,
Cried, Serve him right; it's not at
all surprising
The worm was punished, sir, for
early rising"
We all know there is such a thing
as being too late. But aren't we pit
to ignore the fact that there is also
such a thing as being too early?
At least, there seems to me that
there is.
There are some people who are al
ways at least ten minutes late to an
appointment. There are others that
are always CORRESPONDENCE early.
And whereas it is invariably trying
to have to wait for anyone, it is some,
times equally trying to have people.
Invariably come before you are ready
for them.
I have a friend who frequently calls
for me when we are going out to-
gether. We always appoint a time for
her to come which will give us more
than ample time to reach our desti-
nation, even allowing for all possible
de1ays-she sees to that. And then
she always comes from fifteen min
utes to half hour before the time APP
pointed.
Needless to say. am never ready
at that time. Then, of course, 1 have
to stop and welcome her and make
her comfortable, and because of that
delay and because of the feeling of
being hurried, which her air of pa
tient waiting inspires in me, and
which naturally makes me slower
than usual, 1 am not ready on time.
I have another friend who always

ing at least ten minutes ahead of
time And then if by any chance I
am two or three minutes late she
snaps her watch at me reproachfully
and assures me that she has been
waiting fifteen minutes. 1 know that
am only to blame for few of those
minutes, but she evidently feels that
am guilty of them all and somehow
contrives to make me feel the same.
People of this temperament al
ways go to train or boat from five
minutes to five hours before the start
ing time, the length of time depend
ing on the length of the trip. They
never lose their trains, to be sure,
but they waste as much time waiting
around in depots as they would by
lifetime. My ideal man must carry
watch that is exactly right, and ar
rive at train not more than five min /
utes before starting time, preferably |
less. L don't want him to appear to /,
hurry. 1 want him to leisureIy board |
the train and take his seat just as it |
starts.
From our youth up it has been |
dinned into us that punctuality is |
and 1 don't deny that. II
merely wish to call your attention to |
the fact that punctuality does not !
mean being early one bit more than |
it means being late. Listen to Mr.. |
Webster's definition of punctual-
''adhering exactly to a regular or |
appointed time"
Therefore those people who are al |
ways early are just as far from be- I

late.

One more sample of the way justice
is administered in this country when
IL hits the high places. James H. Pat
ten, the Chicago speculator, pleaded
guilty to six counts in an indictment
charging him with restraint of trade
under the antitrust law. This was a
criminal action And Mr.. Patten
walked out of court a free man after
paying fine of $4,000. Anybody, I'M
doubtedly, who could make as much
money as Patten did in the cotton
pool" through violation of the law,
would be quite willing to pay a paltry
$4,000 for the privilege.
