AIMING AT A STAR.
IF we cannot realize an ideal

IF we cannot realize an ideal
HE man who can imagine moth
L. ing higher or finer than the life
he lives in human machine-life's
work to him is mere drudgery. The
real life, the real character toward
which one would approach should be
often before his minds eye. His
ideals ought to be like a shining
light, leading him up and up to the
heights beyond. From time to time
the crude things drop away from our
ideals and they stand out in greater
brightness, all the more desirable.
And as the climber in the mountains
finds that when he has reached one
height, another stands out beyond, so
on realizing part Of what We have
desired. we find our ideals grown and
still Turing US on.
The striving for something better,
even though it is never reached
makes men better and stronger. The
mind and the heart are enlarged; the
world becomes greater and more
beautiful; a mans own capacity for
usefulness increases. For it is far
better to fall short Of a high ideal
than to be content with a. low degree
of achievement. The effort to reach
it takes one far on the way, and
the exercise of the muscles Of the
soul makes them ready for the work
that is to be done.
Conditions of life keep many at
hard and homely tasks. at work that
if done just as work is weary and
unsatisfying. But the work is easier
If it becomes part of striving to-
ward an ideal; the sharp corners are
rounded, and the rugged paths made
smoother.
The way one must tread is not so
steep and life is more joyous. For
! making the work we must do a part
Of our effort toward an ideal is IDEAL
izing the real, lending force and aim
to our work, gladness and refresh
ment to our lives

BOOSTS AND, SLAMS
ON CURRENT EVENTS
A MONEY TRUST.

w AsH1NGToN reports have it
w that the Pujo investigating
committee has found money trust.
That is no more than expected. In
fact, it was the general belief In the
existence of such an octopus that
brought about the investigation.
This money trust is found to center
in the House of Morgan-another
verification of popular belief. De-
spite the naive disavowments of the
acknowledged head of American f.
nance, the committee finds that the
power he and his house Yields consti-
tutes a trust in money and credit. 1t
recommends legislation to break that
power and give the other fellow a
chance.
Such legislation will be aimed at
stock exchanges, national banks,
clearing houses, railroads., interstate
corporations, and life insurance COM
panies which the committee considers
the great vehicles most instrumental
In bringing about the concentration Of
wealth. The details of the bills are
not yet public but it is understood
that they will, without interfering
with legitimate commercial functions,
bring about a. better condition in fl
nancial affairs and aid the smaller
business man to carry on business.
That, OF course, is as it should be-,
and it is to be hoped the committee
will be able to frame and secure the
passage of laws to stop the evils and
replace every man on his own feet.
There has been belief that pro-
jects needing capital for. their devel-
opment have been stopped from get
ting it unless they paid tribute to
or were controlled by the big factors
in American finance. If they offered
competition to like enterprises con-
trolled by the big crowd they failed
to get their capital-in case of the
Baltimore competitor of the shipping
trust being an example.
This control Of capital has had
more to do with the conditions against
which complaint is made than all 9TH
er factors suggested put together. The
committee evidently takes that view
of it and proposes to change things.
Strength to it's arm.

JUST A LITTLE PIECE OF LAND.

Here is a short but true story which helps to ex-
plain the high cost of living.
Forty-nine years ago whom will call
John Smith, though that name, bought $500
square feet of real estate in the of retail
trading district of Boston. He paid $3.50 900 for it,
He leased it to storekeeper for 900 year rental
tenant to pay taxes and repairs.
That little piece of land is owned by Smith s
grandchildren who among the elect of the Back
Bay. 1t is tied up in which they cannot sell
and managed for them by two trustees.
That little piece of land, upon which the Smith heirs
have performed work. to the improvement of which
they have special service now
as worth $4,000. Get that from 100000 to $751;
600 in generation, the doing nothing but sit
ting tight
Perhaps you will ask how all this interests YOU
Be patient and will show that it does interest
you intimately.
This little piece of land, said was leased to
storekeeper. The rental readjusted every 10
years. The last term it had been $4,000 year. Then
the trustees said in effect: "Pay 100000 year
the next 10 years get OUT
Getting out meant moving a great store at a sac
rfce not to be thought Of So, after squrming the
tenant signed at 100000.
Now that 800 day extra rental didn't really come
except in the first instance out of the storekeeners
pocket. You be he means to charge it back
His help doubtless will pay wage Increases
denied and In Improvement Of working conditions post
poned. His patrons will take care of the rest For ~
rent figures in as cost of doing business and
profits add on, be the rent what it may
In other words, the Smith heirs cody took higher
toll of their fixing upon life and industry in Ros
ton, and gave nothing additional back. They did this
Under sanction of laws which tor With eoua1
opportunity WE should have done the same Because
society both permits and appauds it,
That kind of toll is being taken every day in tho
year In every city in the nation. and you Mr. Hard

:: JULIUS BARNES TESTIMONY.

TN THE current issue of The Pub
Il lie, edited by Louis F. Post of
Chicago, is the following editorial in
reference to the testimony given by
julius H. Barnes of Duluth before the
Merchant Marine committee of the
house of representatives not long ago:
Julius H. Barnes by name and a
Duluth grain exporter by occupation
asked congress for better trans
portation facilities. He explained
that there are no independent steam
ship lines on the lakes that the rail.
roads controlling them have made no
improvements in their method of han
ding package freight that the load
ing and unloading facilities are prac-
tically where they were 40 years ago.
and that las a consequence the rates
have been increased
All this is clear enough on the
surface: But WHY are there no in
dependent steamship lines on the
lakes? HOW do railroads control
such steamship lines as there are |?
1t is a difficult question unless you
listen to Mr.. Barnes explanation. He
explains that the railroads are in
control of the water fronts Of prac-
t1cally all the larger lake ports. ex-
cept such part as is controlled by
large industrial concerns WHICH run
their own steamers
Probe the large industrial con-
Germs which run their own steamers
and you will find them hooked up
neatly and securely, even If invisibly,
through tnterlocked directorates if not
otherwise, to waterfront ownerships.
MT. Barnes proposal to break the
railroad control is q good one, to be
sure, but why do it in his way of hav-
ing the federal government acquire
terminal water front facilities?
The desired result can be accom-
plished by opening the water fronts
to public use and regulating their use
equitably. Waterfront facilities would
be constructed II abonndance ii Big
Business were not allowed to monopo.

WANT SCHOOL HOUSES
FOR CIVIC MEETINGS

WASHINGTON. Feb. 27.-One of
the measures now pending in COIL
gress which the District of Columbia
commissioners will undoubtedly rec
ommend at the next session con-
gress, if the measure is not acted up
on before March 4, is that to author
ize the use of school buildings for
meetings of civic associations. While
it is believed there is little probable
ity of this bill being acted upon prior
to the expiration Of this congress,
the commissioners will press the bill
the matter as an important one, and
will not abandon their efforts until
favorable action is taken

COMPENSATION BILL IMPROVED.

The house and senate committees labor of the
Minnesota legislature have reached agreement on
workingmen's compensation. At meeting held in St.
Paul Monday, several changes made in the
elective bill proposed by the special committee ap-
pointed at the last session.
BY unanimous agreement the words "willful
negligence stricken from the bill. This was
done to meet the objection of the friends of work
ngmens compensation, and particularly the working
men of Minnesota.
The Labor World has persistenty opposed any kind
of workingmen's compensation that made refer
to negligence in any form.
Negligence is at the root of every evil complained
of under employers liability. The theory of working
mems compensation is to get away entirely from the
principle of fault and to base compensation to injured
workmen wholly upon the risk of the industry
Any bill that contains reference to fault or
negligence wide the door for litigation, which
expense to the workmen as we'll as the en-
poyer, and delay in compensation injured laborers
The elimination of negligence goes long way towards
improving the bill being considered by legis-
lature.
The committees made attempt to increase the
amount of compensation The minimum was raised
from SIS to Sc week, but this change only affect
small portion of the who usually injured in
Minnesota industries Any kind of a workingmen' g
compensation act will be improvement over en-
ployers liability but is important the men who
permanently injured should receive sufficiently
high compensation, extending reasonable period
of time, to prevent them from becoming objects nj
public charity.
1t is hoped before the bill passed the Legislature
will increase the compensation sufficiently to guarantee
to injured workmen fair and adequate compensation
