South Africa to Be Made
Beef Centre for World

LONDON, Oct 21.-According to
the Evening News, the Chartered
Company of South Africa has decided
upon a vast undertaking whereby
Rhodesia will become the new beef
market of the world.
Full particulars will not be an
nounced till Sir Leander Starr jane
son issues them when he arrives from
South Africa, but, says the Evening
News, the project is of great impor-
tance for the worlds cattle raising
industries.
The Chartered Company will turn
millions of acres of excellent grazing
land into a vast ranch. 1t is esti-
mated that via Cairo and the Medl-
terranean supplies of meat can be
brought to Europe seven days quicker
than from the Argentine.
The ranches will be conducted on
the most modern American lines. The
Chartered Company has appointed
Richard Walsh. of Texas. ranch
manager. and Walsh is now en- route
TO America to engage assistants.

Why Arc Workers UNIT.

From the Engineering Magazine.
Why are workers unfit? Largely
because they are not vitally inter
ested in their work. This lack of in
terest arises from a variety of
causes-discontent with the social
order; lack of aptitude for the given
task; unWillingness to put forth u
greater effort than is eXerted by fell
low workmen; nepotism. The stereo-
typed methods which are followed in
dealing with these various groups
consist OF calling the representatives
of the first "agitators,' and sending
them to the next town in search Of
work; tolerating those of the second
in the sacred name of scarcity of
labor" stimulating those OF the third
with such official crackings of the
overseer's whip as discretion may
justify. Those whose grievance is
the outcome of discrimination find
themselves classified with one of the
other groups, after the manner of the
young Unitarian recruit who received
from a stern sergeant on church
parade the order to fall in with the
Catholics; no fancy religions in this
regiment.
Obviously the employer cannot, as
an individual, be held responsible for
the existence of that much abused
institution-the capitalist class.
Neither is he always ready to adj
nit that it is his fault if men apply
TO him for work TO which they are
not we'll adapted The Incidence of in
diyidual workmen he does not feel
able to correct or control And as for
nepotism; he would be glad TO see it
done away with, and piously repeats
the prayer of Augustine, Lord, give
me temperance: but not yet

Great Men in Fiction.

From the London Times.
The fact that Mr.. Maurice Hewlett
has made Byron the hero of his new
novel, Bendish"-Bendish is Byron
raises the question why great men
seldom make good heroes or even
good minor characters in fiction. Dis
raeli brought both Byron and Shelley
into his "Venetia." and wrote poetry
for them but the book is not one of
his best. and the characters, like their
poetry, are but vaguely romantic
shadows of the originals. So, to tell
the truth. is Shakespeare Caesar.
In the play we hear on all sides of
Caesars greatness, and the world is
convulsed by his death. But he him
self for the most part only talks about
his greatness. just like the other
characters. and does nothing to
prove it.
Tolstoy when he brings Napoleon
into his War and Peace goes to
the other extreme. He is SO deter
mined not to be impressed by him,
and so angry with the Napoleonic
legend that he turns into a
bore who can talk about nothing but
his own exploits, and who takes it
for granted that everyone wonders

IF you ever have a chance to get
into conversation with Judge Davis"
Mr.. Hit said, don't fail to ask him
what his opinion of Lincoln as
lawyer was. There is no man in the
United States who had better oppor-
tunities of measuring Lincoln's ca
pacity as a lawyer than did Judge
Davis. He was Circuit Court judge
in Illinois for many years, and it
was upon his circuit that Lincoln
used chiefly to practise. He and
Davis became very warm personal
friends. They often roomed together
in country taverns. They took their
meals together, and | have always
been of the Appinion that Judge
Davis was thR first man in Illinois
to contemplate Lincoln in the light
Of the presidency"

Mr.. Hit made this suggestion to me
to spend an hour or two in oonversa-
ton with Judge Davis. 1t was in the
spring of 1858. Judge Davis was
United States senator and lis serv
ice as president of the Senate eX-
pired on March 4 of that year. He
went almost Immediately to North
Carolina to meet and marry the
young woman who had been be-
trothed to him.
On the train I found Judge Davis
disposed to be chatty and / asked him
if he would tell me what his opinion
of Lincoln as a lawyer was.
Judge Davis looked at me for a
moment with great earnestness for
my question had apparently raised
a food of recollections of the man with
whom he was so intimately associat-
ed in those early days of Lincoln
practice.
I'm my opinion said Judge Davis
MI Lincoln would have made one
of the greatest chief justices of the
United States Supreme Court. His
pre- eminent position in politics and
the mastery manner with which he
directed his administration at the
time of the Civil war have caused
all but very few to overlook the very
great was almost going to say I'M
matched-ability of Lincoln as law
yer and especially the distinctive ju-
dicial quality of his intellect He was
not a very learned lawyer, but he poss-
essed something better than mere
learning That was his capacity tC

ciples and to apply them to any par
ticular case which was before him
These qualifications are those of the
ablest of judges, and / have otter

other employees in the operating de-
partment of the Illinois Central rail-
road carry pictures of their wives,

crystals. An order against the prac-
tise was issued yesterday and dis
tributed today by the management.
Officials of the company have decid-
ed that such pictures are likely to dis
tract the attention of employees from
their work. and that accidents might
result. This rule may seem to be IA

Cost of WOODEN Fabrics

From the New York Times.
After having had actual COMPARE
sons of cloths made by experts to
show that the American manufac-
turers of wooden fabrics are not going
to be driven out of business by the
new tariff the American Wool and
Cotton Reporter does some further
fAring to demonstrate that the
situation is far from hopeless.
THE stock argument" 1t says, lis
that our labor costs double that of
the foreign manufacturers, which
may be true, but proves nothing as to
our inability to compete. Suppose we
leave the abstract and confine our
selves to a concrete example illustra-
ton. We will assume that the fabric
to be manufactured is medium
fancy worsted, 2-40s. half blood warp
and filling, II ounces in weight.
Under the new tariff our wool
will cost the same as our competitors
stock say 81 cents a clean pound.
The cost of making top should be
paid for from the proceeds of the sale
of the noil. or very nearly. To make
a pound of top will require 1872 ounces
of clean wool at cost of 60.125 cents.
Allowing two cents a pound for con-
by-products and 221a cents for spin
ming costs gives a cost of S45s cents
pound for yarn. The cost of stock
for II ounces finished will be 1916 of
S45s cents. or 6S.S cents, and the cost
of conversion into cloth 371a cents, a
total of s1,063, of which, the total con-
version cost is 81 cents. and of this
only a part is the cost of labor Al
lowing 30 per cent. less for manufac-
turing on the other side gives the
cost of stock and conversion as 1913
cents. which. with duty added. gives
s16l7 as the cost in the place of origin,
to which must be added consul fees.
freight and entry fees.
These figures are on a basis of 80
per cent. less expense for labor and
overhead charges, which is an excess
sive allowance. as the labor cost a
yard in Bradford is considerably more
than this discount would figure, and
the overhead charges would differ
very slightly from those in a we'll
organized. fairly capitalized Ameri-

THE LAST INGREDIENT

of Hate and Jealousy stole away from
his seething Kettles and purloined
some Laughter, too. When he added
it. to his cookery there arose most
unpleasant odors, and so intermingled
became Hate and Jealousy that they
could scarcely be told apart.
The Laughter stuff had become so
popular that the inventor himself
poured a deal of it into the Love vat
and all the little gods smiled at the
chemical affinity of Love and Laugh
ter. Love flushed a rosy red and
gurgled contentedly over the fire.
A lot of Laughter trickled into Fear
and made 1t a sickly yellow. while
Guilt changed color at the odor of it.
Dropped into Hope, Laughter made q
funny little bouncy ball of itself, and
it spread a thick coating of furry
softness over. the troubled surface of
Pain.
But its inventor growled.
81 should have taken out a patent"
he declared. 81 started out with
something distinctive, but now they've
smeared it about so, 1t doesn't mean
thing"
But he was wrong. 1t means every
thing.-Angie Ousley in Ladies' Home

From Golfers Weekly.
The guilt of some of our "busi-
ness" and the failure of some of our
Justice" is set forth in these news
paper paragraphs:
Max Blanck, one of the owners of
the Triangle Waist Company, in the
burning of which in March, 1911,
more than $40 girls lost their lives,
was found guilty in the Court of Spe-
cial Sessions of having the doors of
his new factory, at 70 Fifth avenue,
New York city, locked on August ).
The minimum fine of $40 was i'm
posed by the court and paid by
Blanck.
In imposing the minimum fine,
Chief Justice Russell said that in
view of the fact that the defendant
had expressed a disposition to abide
by the law in the future, he would
be lenient.
The name of this man Blancl1 seems
indicative of his moral condition.
Keeping his factory doors locked, in
defiance of the law, was precisely
what caused the hideous Triangle ca
tastrophe of two and a half years
ago--Whieh the world has not for
gotten, if Blanck has. But we under
stand this man better than We UNI
derstand the judge who would be
lenient." Chief Justice Russell is a
man who has read, studied seen
he must have some Imagination or
he could not have mastered the tic-
lions of the law He must know
what it means to parents to have
their children die by fire in a locked
room, die like beasts trapped in an
old barn-murdered because their em-
ployer (Who escaped) was anxious
about his materials. And yet Chief
Justice Russell seems to think that
an employer who learned no lesson
from the crime of the Triangle fire,
with all Its deaths and anguish. will
mend his ways because of twenty
dollar fine-imposed. no doubt. in a
rather severe tone of voice! We
hope some great university will in
vite Chief Justice Russell to eXpound
to its students the majesty of our
law, that nobility and perfection of
abstract justice. He can then cite
this illustration of it's working, and
can remark sadly how it was mis-
construed, how the ignorant and UNI
thinking took it to mean that we
have one law for the rich and another
for the poor. one law for the work
ers life and another law for the
employers money. The illustration
will be as effective with his audience
as the fine win be with Blanck. In
time we shall have social Justice
now We know it not.
