office boy, the factory girl, the banker
and the merchant, efficiency is the key
note OF the times. Fatigue Is the
enemy Of efficiency; and to detect and
compensate for or overcome it, is the
duty OF those concerned with the pro-
motion Of human welfare.
In view Of this the Journal Of the
American Medical Association says is
of more than passing interest to know
that DR.. Martin and some Of his as
sociates in the Laboratory OF Physiol-
ogy at the Harvard medical school
have been making careful study of
the whole question of fatigue and
efficiency from physiological stand-
point. A long series OF experiments
have been made on first-year medical
students who were following a regular
routine Of school work during six
days Of each week. The routine was
interrupted weekly by the Sunday re-
cess, an interval occupied variously by
the students, but in no case in pre-
cisely the manner Of the week days.
The daily observance made on these
persons during several weeks show
that at the beginning Of the week the
nerve reaction tends to be high, that
from then until the end OF the week
there is a fairly continuous decline,
and that following the interruption Of
the routine by. the intervention OF
Sunday. 1t returns to.the original high
point. SO
S The decline. is Interpreted as a
cumulative result Of general fatigue
incident to routine. What is even more
significant, however, is the added fact
that pronounced break in the :rou-
tine-such as the "day of rest" occas-
ions-may bring about return OF SEN
sitiveness to a high point or, in other
words. It restores the nervous tone.
Studies continued in this direction
should lead to sol le useful conclus-
ions regarding the maximum of work,
With respect to both Its duration and
type, that should determine the con-
ditions under which the organism Of
man may be maintained without de-
pletion.

Graft a neadi.L e,

ALL the way down a big list that
has been several years in the making,
prosecutors and the courts have. been
putting stop to various forms of
graft the primary object of which
was to get something for nothing.
Public sentiment became aroused
and numerous laws were passed to
the end that the Ubiquitous practices
should cease. No longer-do railroads
and traction companies curry special
fa1nrs with free passes .orlssfresght
rebates; no longer do big corpora
tons seek special privileges. with the
free hand Of corruption they did for
1nerly; salaried lobbyists have lost
their quondom standing and men
who want to give something for moth
ing are viewed with suspicion. {!
why. then, at such a late date in
ssthis period of beneficient evolution.
should even public quasi corpora
ti6n seek to obtain special privilege,
sor grant, for nothing? If graft in
all its forms is denied the individual
and put within the bane Of the law,
why should a public association OF
individuals. or the representatives OF
such an association, which is in the
business Of government, have any
more right to special grants and ia
svors?
Is not the county of Harrison, for
example, equally obliged to pay for
everything it gets legitimately, as Its
individual membership is required.
sori Is the modern spirit OF fair play
to be so interpreted as to allow it, or
any other governmental function.
something for nothing? Why should
any branch of government receive its
telephones, or water rents, or gas
service, or freight rates, or street
car passes or any other thing that has
q legitimate money value. free un-
der the now order of things?
lf the people can pay and are re-
s1uired to pay for these things indi-
yidually, there must be screw loose
somewhere II they are allowed to
avoid their moral obligations in their
collective capacity. The "rake-off''
ought to be made dead letter all
the way around.

Our Supremacy Threatened.

That the supremacy Of the United
States as the leading footwear manu-
facturer 6f the world is seriously
threatened Is the statement made by
Representative John ]. Esch, of Wis
consin. With shoes coming in from
abroad, but selling at no less cost
than our own American made shoes,
the American home shoe market Is
likely to he broken down.
The United States makes over, five
hundred million dollars worth Of
shoes every year. Each. month Of the
Democratic. tariff law, declares Mr..
Esch, means an increased displace-
ment OF American-made shoes and a
lessened demand for American labor.
mo one will deny. says he, "that our
American workmen ought to have
furnished the half million dollars
worth of boots and shoes which will
be imported the first year OF the new
tariff laws operation, especially when
there has been no reduction in cost to
the American consumer" h

The Light That Failed.

The Democratic agencies for the
dissemination of fake prosperity
news might as well retire from bust
ness in the opinion of the Councils,
VILE, Pa, Courier, which declares
they are not fooling the public but
every now and then are making
themselves ridiculous. The Courier
illustrates its contention as follows
II One Of the chief offenders Is the

non-partisan and unpatriotic sales

scerting explanation of the ORDER:
