Corporation Pensions.

From Indianapolis Star
Just how near the greatest corpora
tons of the land are in touch with the
hordes who labor to keep them going is
to be gathered by the circular reports
submitted from time to time by these
big combines. What dreary reading the
fiscal year documents of souless cor
poration has been in years gone by.
when the man in the ranks was never
given the consideration he has won in
later years And how vastly different do
some of the reports of the present-day
corporations read. In nearly all OF them
pages are devoted to pension. disability
benefits. and insurance.
Perhaps many OF the benefits now be-
ing extended TO labor have risen from
the agitation made in behalf of the la
borer during the last ten years. Certain
it is that in this period almost all of the
greatest corporationes have adopted new
plans for caring for their men and
women employees during the times when
they are Ill or. later. when age removes
them from active work Scarcely one of
the leading corporations in the country
today fails to devote some of its reserve
to pension funds. The Steel Trust, In
ternational Harvester. and a number of
other combines that have been conspic-
uous in wars with the government re-
garding antitrust laws all provide
means for caring for their employees
who no longer are able to care for
themselves

Took the Trick.

conversation relating to the fac,
value of cards the other evening caused
Senator Bradley of Kentucky to become
reminiscent, according TO the Pittsburs
Telegraph.
He was reminded. he said. OF a man
from the mountain zone OF his State.
who once bought a jug of whisky, and
not wanting to carry il around with
him. decided to leave It at the corner
grocery until he should be ready to go
home.
In order that the jug might be prop
erly identified, the man took a deck OF
cards from his pocket, extracted the
six of spades. wrote his name upon IL.
and attached II to the handle of the jug.
This done. he happily rambled forth.
leaving the jug on the end of the
counter.
Two hours later the mountaineer re-
turned. and great was his CONSERVATION.
as well as eloquence, to ind that his
jug of electrified spirits had faded away.
Look here Jim,' he agitatedIy cried
to the proprietor of the store. DO you
know what become o. that jug O.

''Of course do. Seth" was the prompt
rejoinder of the proprietor. Jake

Moral Police.

From Baltimore American.
An interesting aspect of the plan that
is being strongly advanced in New York
to take vice from under police control
and to institute a moral police force that
shall have to do only with the enforce
ment of the laws relative to the social
evil and its attendant vices is the trend
toward specialization in municipal polio
ing that ii indicates. Already in New
York there has been established a special
police squad for the Fifth Avenue and
allied sections. so as to draw the crime
line closely at the point where the resi-
dental section begins. II is quite con-
ceivable that in the future the great
cities will have to maintain separate po-
lice for the various needs of law and
order that now fall TO the lot of the
general force. This is the case with re-
gard to the policing of parks. 1t is a
question whether there ought not to be
special branch OF the police whose
duties would be entirely those Of attend
ing places of public amusement and of
concourse, and to include responsibility
for public parades and demonstrations to
avoid incidents such as in Washington,
which have brought nationwide criticism
upon the Capital police. The advantages
Of specialization in policing in great
cities are readily apparent.

Currency Reform and Ceosraphy.

One of the most debatable problems
confronting the currency reformers,
who are drafting the administration
bill, is whether to establish fifteen or
twenty or only six or eight regional"
banking associations. Nearly every Sec
ton is demanding that it be made a
regional financial center" and the ad-
ministration, whose sole desire, no
doubt, is to please all the people, would
be glad to do so If politics was the
only consideration. But if regional
banking associations should be spread
out so as to cover all the small spots,
some of them might find themselves
located alongside independent banks,
which would be great deal larger and
of more importance than the new insti-
tuition.
Obviously, the plan of the Democratic
trainers of the new bill is to make use
of the essence of the Aldrich bill, but
not of its form in detail. 1t is proposed
to join the individual banks of dis
trict or region" as they call it, by
some method, the whole to eliminate
in a local organization which, in its
functions, would be analogous to the
branch bank of the Aldrich plan.
But how many of these regional as
sociations are to be established? There
also seems to be disposition to relieve
the banks of their embarrassment with
the per cent bonds which back their
circulation, although the issue of the
proposed new currency may not be
made dependent upon the retirement of
the present. bank notes. Chairman
Glass has suggested that the old notes
might be retired at the rate of say 10
per cent per year, for ten years, prob
ably through the issue of 3 per cents
in place of the present rs, whose value,
admittedly, is artificial to a large ex-
tent. 1t is worthy of note that in the
past few years no issue of bords of
any kind has been proposed. having
the circulation privilege.
The greenbacks, of which there are
S346,oooyooo in circulation, have almost
disappeared as source of embarrass-
ment in the formation OF plans for
fiscal reform, because the gold reserve
and the gold supply each are several
times in excess of the amount OF out
standing greenbacks.

Frederick City and Barbara Frietehie

We read that the city of Frederick,
Md, will have a great observance on
Memorial Day The remains OF Bar
bara Frietchie, together with those OF
her husband, John c. Frietchie, are to
be exhumed and placed in a specially
erected mausoleum in a local cemetery
with appropriate ceremonies, in which
veterans OF the Union army are to
participate conspicuously.
We sincerely hope that the expecta-
ton of our neighbors will be graft
fed. and that the occasion truly will be
memorable and a great one. Above
all we trust that no one will be allowed
to disturb The ceremonies by injecting
historic doubts Those in charge
OF the function should insist on una
nimity among the audience. when the
festive orator dwells upon the patriot
ism OF the heroine OF Winters bal
lad.
. 1t is meet that where there is such
a sentiment OF local PRIDE, critical
analysis should not be allowed to get
under way. If it did, what would be
left of Whittier's great and inspiring
poem: To learn history from poems
or romances is TO assimilate good deal
that is exceedingly pleasant. There
have been instances where facts and
figures surrounded by halo of lively
imaginstions have been taken for
granted more easily than even docu-
mentary evidence Whittier's is a de-
lghtful ballad Some one once said
that it sings itself" Why not leave
well enough alone? Let us rejoice in
the possession of the ballad and please
Frederick. and all those to whom the
Barbara Frietchie story is an historic
event, by not insisting upon accuracy.

The Red Flag.

Prom indianapolis News Dem.l
There is a tendency on the part of
some communities to exaggerate the
Importance of local Socialist movements
and to regard with terror the red flag
sometimes run up at Socialist celebra-
tons. There is no governmental men
ace in socialism as We have it in. this
country. Unless every other political
can devise proves Intellectual in han
ding the problems of governments,
there is no likelihood that socialism
will be more than a protest. The So
cialists have been in office at various
times in many parts of the country.
They have conducted the city govern
ment in Milwaukee. they have had a.
Representative In Congress, and they
have had a turn at the management of
affairs in Schenectady-but not until the
voters had turned to them as a last re-
sort. Socialism at its best is a protest
against conditions which We all know
are wrong, but as to the remedy for
which we do not all agree Socialists are
not to be classed with the Industrial
Workers of the World-an organization
which they have repudiated. They are
mild Socialists and radicaIs-just as
there are in other parties. The Ameri-
can flag should be the flag of all political
parties in this country. but If a red nag
appears why throw a fit'' about It?
Socialism thrives best where II is most
feared and Prosecuted. Other cities have
found 1t so. Perhaps East Liverpool Is
unduly agitated

WOMEN AS SPIES.

Rich Young Russian Woman Dis
appeared During Japanese War.
From Harper's Weekly.
Many an adventures lives on the sale
OF State secrets. a condition of affairs
that many people believe not to exist
save in the ina gination of novelists. The
importance of having women in the serv-
ice called secret" has been demonstrated
time and again in the last few years.
Lord Wellesley says in his Soldiers
Pocketbook'' that spies are literally paid
when the information they give is OF
exceptional value. During the Anglo
Boer war the English employed many
women spies. Large numbers were dis
tributed throughout the hospitals. where
they exercised their arts OF fascination
upon the wounded prisoners with telling
effect as TO procuring OF important dates
and sources of supply.
Brief and mysterious was the fate of
a young Russian woman of good family
who left St Petersburg during the Jap
anese-Russian war. She undertook to
get naval secrets from a young Japanese
Official in Manchuria- Forgetting loyalty
and patriotism. this young man fell into
the trap and told her OF plans and dates
with regard TO the movement OF the
Japanese artillery. But he was suspected
by a companion who kept steady watch
of him, and the result was that both
the young woman and the man who had
become infatuated with her quickly dis
appeared. The family OF the young wom-
an expended vast sums Of money to as
certain her fate, but without any re-
suit whatever.
Not long ago in Toulouse young girl
named Juana Renee, alias Bourg. got
herself into serious trouble for the crime
of inducing certain naval officers to re-
veal secrets OF the French submarine
service. These secrets she sold for large
sums. not to one. but to several Eu-
ropean governments. She was only
twenty-one years of age, and her sudden
accession OF prosperity caused attention

anician in the artillery was finally in
duced to accuse her and produce all nee

influences protected her. however, and
she was not punished.

FORTUNE OUT OF ORCHARD.
Rich Farmer Who Formerly Was
Government Clerk.

In the current issue Of Farm and Fire
side, Judson C. weliiver. Washington
correspondent Of that publication. writes
most entertainingly the story OF Hon.
s. L. Lupton. a virginian. who on $500
year supported a wife and two children
while he held job In the Treasury De-
partment at Washington. Lupton was
ambitious and thrifty, and all the time
kept studying his hobby. which was the
cultivation of apples. Finally. fellow
worker in the Treasury Department who
had a private fortune became impressed
with the fact that Lupton was cnergetic
and a man of good ideas, SO he proposed
to Lupton to back him in an apple ven
ture. This venture has come out sue
cessfully. He continued to hold his job
in the Treasury Department until his
orchard grew and was ready to yield Its
first crop Just before he left the Treas
ury Department, welliver, the author.
says that he called on Lupton and asked
him how he was getting on. Welliver
proceeds with his story as follows:
He didn't say a word. but pulled out
a drawer, took the top letter, and handed
II to me. II was from New York COM
mission house and contained a draft for
s14.2s5. with notice of their acceptance
of his proposition to take the apples on
the trees and pick them!
"He". L "nisleu, SUNG u SCI ~
new suitr
He pulled out another drawer. I
wanted to show you this one. too. ahead
of anybody else handing me another
letter. 1t was his resignation OF his gov
eminent job.
"Luptoh went down to live on the farm.
bought more land, planted more trees,
and now has 400 acres In apples. His
place is rated worth about 10000 but
isn't for sale"
Don't make the mistake of assuming
that. after all. Lupton got on because
he found a friend that grub-staked him.
That friend observed that Lupton was
living in the city on SI5 a month, sup
porting a family, and every month pay
ing of a little of the old debts. He
reckoned that he could AFFORD to take
chance on that sort of citizen. and he
didn't make a mistake. There are a
great many more ways to stake men like
Lupton than there are men like Lupton
to be staked.

EartbwOrms in EGypt.


The fertility of the valley of the White
Nile Is renowned. British scientific sur
veyors report that its remarkable pro-
ductivenes is due in large part to the
diligence of earthwcrms. which have been
digging it for thousands of years. OBJ
servations are recorded showing that dur
ing the active six months Of each year
the castings Of the worms brought to the
surface there amount to about 240,OcO
pounds an acre. Spread out evenly this
would make an appreciable annual layer.
Darwin estimated that the castings of
five years in England would cover the
whole kingdom with a layer of new earth
an inch thick. In the Nile Valley the
layer would doubtless be thicker were
the worms equally numerous and busy,
as appears to be the case. because the
proportion of honorable land there Is
much less than in the British Isles, 1t
must be remembered also, that in addi-
ton to the beneficial service of stirring
lip the SOIL admitting air and water more
easily and bringing deep deposits to the
surface. there is a constant fertilization
effected by the vegetable matter dragged
into their burrows by the worms. much
of which is left to decay where 1t will
do the most good.

THE OPEN FORUM

To the Editor: The Nautilus for June
prints a splendid editorial by Elizabeth
Towne on The Right Way with the
Child" which is worth the widest pub
licity. 1t says in part:
THE mothers way is not the right
way for the child. The fathers way is
not the right way for the child Many
child is torn to pieces by its mother
and father, each trying to pull the child
into his own way or her own way. Let
mother and father move from their sep
arate extremes up toward the center and
get together on loves way of bringing up
the child. Loves way is the unity OF
mother and father.
The woman's way is softness, and
the mans way is discipline. the right
way should be a blend Of the mothers
way and the fathers way, since the
child itself is a blend OF their two beings.
The child needs the softncss of love.
He needs also the hardness and straight
ness OF discipline. The softness of his
own way in non-essentials. The hardness
and straightness .; discipline In essen
tials.
While the mother has the care OF
the child the father must back her up in
all the discipline Discipline builds
character. Love and sOftness cultivate
the emotional side OF being. and emotion
means power.

dull boy. All discipline and no love kills

The Democratic position, as set
forth by Mr.. Underwood. is that no

believe, basing their belief upon testi-
mony given during the tariff hearings,
that if the profits of manufacturers
are reduced by lower tariff, the loss
will fall exclusively upon the working
men. and if this be the case they want
the public to know the facts. Their
charge Is that the Republicans are con-
cerned only in the manufacturers. land
care nothing whatever for the labor
that works in the factories" They
insist that the Democrats are the sole
guardians of the interests of the work
ingnan, thereby hoping, no doubt, to
solidify the labor vote. Not only are
they skirmishing for position in the
next campaign, but they are creating
a harbor of refuge in which they can
anchor if commercial distress is the
sequel to tariff legislation Should
this condition arise they are prepared
TO blame the manufacturers and not
the new tariff
The Washington herald., 1913-05-25
An Unfortunate Feature.

There is one phase of the situation,
not essentially political in its nature,
which may prove serious.
The Democrats have proceeded upon
the presumption that manufacturers
are dishonest; that they will deliber-
ately reduce the wages of working
men in order to play into the hands of
Republican politicians. and that they
propose to combine together against
labor in order to save what they can
out of the tariff wreck, if wreck there
be. These charges, spread broadcast
over the land. cannot fail to widen
the breach between capital and labor.
1t makes the latter suspicious of and
hostile toward the former. If trouble
comes and workingmen are either
thrown out of employment or COM
PEELED to work for lower wages, their
minds have Already been filed with the
idea that these conditions are unjustly
forced upon them The situation
would be aggravated a hundredfold by
the talk which is now being INDUCED
in for purely political effect.
II is all the more unfortunate that
these utterances should have been
made, because, after all, they are idle
words. The Democratic administra-
ton is merely raising a scarecrow in
the field of industry. Nobody is go
ing to be frightened by it. If it is
waved too vigorously somebody will
demolish it in court of law. In the
meantime the manufacturers will con-
tinue to make money, if they can. and
