ing what good, kind hearts they keep,
IN spite of the unkind treatment they
so often get from hotels, and railroad
employees, as well as the uncivil man
ner of some Of the buyers" They are
continually helping women, children
and old people on trains and in depots,
and always are there with the little
helpful lift"
Most people think that a girl who
works for commercial men receives un-
courteous treatment from them. While
it is true some travelling men are fresh,
most Of them are good judges Of hu-
man nature-in fact, part of the stock
in trade of a commercial salesman is
studying the people he deals with.
Travelling men are much less liable to
insult a girl than IN other class Of
men. The country merchants or poll
ticians and men from small towns,
away from home for a few days, are
lots more troublesome. They consider
themselves big ducks in their little
communities n think Of course n
girl ought to be overwhelmed at their
condescending to make a date with a
working girl They also have the
idea, shared, I am sorry to say, by a
great many married women, that all
girls working around hotels are bound
to be fast. Travelling men are usually
only to glad to meet a decent woman,
and very seldom try to persuade such
a one to be otherwise. Unfortunately,
however, they see so much of the
wrong side of life that they get to be
somewhat cynical.
One fault I observe among travelling
men is that they do not save. One of
the most pathetic things in the world
is to see a "~hasbeen." 1t is true they
are compelled to spend so much money
to get business and keep up appear
T.
and it is also true that everybody eX-
poets them to do more than their
share of entertaining, but it would be
so much to their interest if they would
put some of the good money they make
away for old age and sickness. Most
men in the pride Of health and conf
dence in themselves think they do not
need to save because they feel so
strong. However, I have seen some
very sad cases which could have been
avoided if the men had had a little
bank account somewhere to fall back
on. And a salesman out Of a position
gets seedy-looking so quickly. 1t
seems a shame that they should make
such sacrifices to get their money and
have SO little to show for it at the end
of. the year.
The long hours Of waiting and trav-
cling on rains are very firing, AND 1t has
often occurred to me that If a man
would study something or take up a
course Of reading, he would find his
time pass more pleasantly, and be
greatly benefited thereby.s A cor
respondence course in some business
or profession, or especially the study
of a language like Spanish would be Of
ultimate benefit to him. Just an hour
or half hour. each day spent in study
would bring fine results.
The travelling man is the missionary
Of progress, ten advance guard of civil
~lization and improvement, and I will
go on record as saying that if I eve
needed help, financially or protection,
out of a Grove of men I would pick
the travelling man every time, and be
sure of receiving swift and courteous
aid.

The new plan to. secure new mem
.bers for the u. c.. T., by. placing the
organization on a military basis, is
progressing finely in spite of the hot
weather. and the distractions Of the
summer months. 4 + # Z
The grand councils of the various
states have taken UP the plan with
enthusiasm, and there Is no doubt that
the next few months will see an I'M
precedented increase in the member

Grand Conductor w. l.. Grasse, of
the Fargo council, has been commits
stoned major by Supreme Counselor
Duval, and will be in command of the
campaign in this city.
Under the new plan, the country is
divided into five divisions, each with
it's division commander. This state is
In the fourth division, which compris-
es the grand councils of Michigan,
Minnesota, North Dakota. Nebraska,
| Wisconsin, Iowa.. and Illinois. The d.
vision commander for the fourth divt-
sion is Major Gen. Frank S.. Ganiard,
field marshal. There will be great riv-
airy among the various divisions to
see which shall make the greatest
gain in membership during the cam
paign now starting. It is up to every
man in the fourth division to get very
busy at once, fill out his enlistment
blank, and send 1t in to Claude Duvai
supreme counselor, 450 West Thirty
fifth street, Kansas City, Mo. BY sc
doing, you enlist as militant u. C. T.
and pledge yourself to secure at least

Road Making

In this day OF agitation tor.

ally by the various automobile
associations, that it is some what
of a surprise to learn that con-
gressman is ehquiring as to the
nature of these good roads. He
wishes to know whether the
new roads, built by the state
and by the general govern.
ment are to be business roads
for the general public or automo-
bile roads for the wealthy joy
rider.
The congressional committee
'on roads seems disposed to care
for the need of the farmer first:
with the automobiiest secondly.
The prime purpose Of the good
roads movement is to furnish
better transportation facilities
for the farmers.
Congress is assisting in devel-
oping and improving the roads
along the rural delivery routes.
These are the arteries to trade
and traffic IN the greater part OF
the country. Our good roads,
at present, are too much mono
polized by the automobilest.
We think that iorstbe speed
craze that there should be speed
ways provided by those who
wish to use them. and paid for
by that same class, but we do
lnQt believe in any general system
of taxation to build better roads
for the wealthy automobile
tourest solely.
We want better roads for the
farmer and for the small towns

farmers demand these This i.

The Perils of
Navigation

In view of the second great
disaster at see in year it is
some what comforting to know
that the Department of Comm
cree at Washington has been at
work for long time studying
the perils OF navigation, and
Secretary Redfield's committee
has just prepared its recommend
ations which will be submitted
to the International conference
in London. The recommendations
cover every phase safety equip
ment. dealing particularly with
the use of electricity, search
lights. wireless, lie boats, lanes
OF travel, ice patrol, etc. Since
the Titanic disaster there has
been no further thought among
navigators of constituting non
tsmkable ship, such as was claim.
ed for the ill-tated liner. The en-
ergetic investigation of these
disasters. and the rules that
are being laid down for better
protection OF lite and property
on the high seas is commanding
the attention OF all the civilized
governments, with which our
own Department of Commerce
is keeping in close cooperation.

Strike
Legislation

Governor Foss of Massachu-
setts claims to have a remedy for
strikes and their consequence
disorders. He would have
strike abolished by legislative
act.
The governors like the general
public, regards the strike as an
unnecessary calamity. especially
upon the railroads. and has sent
a notice to the. various sailroad
employees union that strike
means a total stoppage OF the
wheels of industry and conse-
quent loss oflabor and money to
hundreds of thousands OF labor
ers not only on the railroads but
on all the industries depending
upon the transportation facili-
ties. 1t causes interference with
food and fuel for all the public.
The governor says as a state ex-
ecutive he will do all in his power
to prevent these wrongs to the
Ecitlzens OF his state.
He says that ifA strike is call
ed, he will summon the legislat
ure in extra ordinary session to
enact laws which shall absolutely
prohibit strikes among railway
opera tives in Massachusetts.
We agree with the governor
that the laws should reach this
evil and SUPPRESS it, always hav-
ing in mind an equitable settle
ment Of the difficulties arising be-
tween the laborers and their en-
ployers.
