Samuel J. TiIden's Dstrust of pietv in BUSINESS

mo man with whom it has been
my privilege to have friendly asso-
citation had a wider acquaintance
with those who have gained successes
in the field of literature or of jour
nalism or in politics between 1870 and
1880 than the late Parke Goodwin. He
was a son-in-law of William Cullen
Bryant, and his association with that
poet was intimate. He was one of
the editors of the original Putnams
Magazine, George william Curtis be-
ing the other. He was a lecturer in
the day when the lecture platform
was an American institution of wide
popularity. He was an intimate
friend of Thackeray. and it was in
the editorial offices of Putnam's Mag
aZine that Thackeray made himself
at home when upon his second visit
to the United States. Mr.. Goodwin
was also upon pleasant terms with
Charles Dickens, and was one of the
few whose happy fortune it was to
be present at the two dinners given
to DlckenS-one upon his first visit
to the United States and the other
upon his last visit-where the English
novelist met distinguished company
of American business, literary and
professional men.

GETTING OVER YOUR sENsITlVENEss

the course of their daily business. In
the busy world of affairs, it is give
and take, touch and go. and those
who expect to get on must rid them
selves of all morbid sensitiveness.
If they do not, they doom themselves
to unhappiness and failure.
A college course is of inestimable
value to a girl of over-refined ssnsi-
bilities. Oftentimes when girls enter
college, they are so touchy that their
sense of honor in constantly being
hurt and their pride stung by the
unconscious thrusts of classmates
and companions. But after they have
been in college a term, and have
been rubbing up against other girls,
they realize that it would be the
most foolish thing in the world to
betray resentment. If one shows that
she is hurt. she knows she will be I'M
popular and will often be laughed
at She is simply forced to drop this
foolish weakness. Girls who are
morbidly sensitive on entering col
lege, often come out at the end of
their four years course with their
excessive irritability cured by re-
peated doses of common sense.
There are many, however, who must
go through life without going through
college; and if these are troubled with

healers. They must learn that real
nobility and courage and effectiveness
are a world worker, as we'll as per-
sonal- happiness and success, are i'm
possible to one who is crippled by
supersensitive nature.
"What shall do to get rid of it?"
a girl asks Think less of yourself
and more of others. Mingle freely
with the people. Become interested
in things outside of yourself. Do not
brood over what Is said to you, or
analyze every simple remark until you
magnify it into something of the
greatest Importance. Do not have
such low and unjust estimate of
people as to thirk they are bent on
nothing, but hurting the feelings of
others, and deprecating and making
light of them on every possible occa-
sion A girl who appreciates herself
at her true value. and who gives her
neighbors credit for being at least as
good as she is, will not be the victim
of oversensitiveness.

The Spurious Referendum.


From the Philadelphia Record.
While the referendum is not ex-
pressly authorized in the New Jersey
Constitution, neither is it unconsti-
tutional This is the opinion of Chan
eellor Walker. and he is sustained
by 10 to majority of the Court of
Errors and Appeals. The Legislature
is not compelled to refer a measure
passed by it; but, if the lawmakers
wish to seek the Endorsement of a
popular vote for their tentative en-
actments and make the going into eff
fetc of such proposed laws dependent
upon sanction given at the polls, that
privilege is not denied them
BY the Constitution of New Jer-
sey, as well as of the United States,
and of this and most other States.
the legislative power is vested" in
a body of men elected to exercise the
same; and this word vested" has
been the basis of arguments against
the constitutionality of direct legisla-
ton by popular initiative or by pie
biscite 1t has been claimed that this
legislative power cannot be delegated
but this has not prevented the cloth
ing of the Interstate Commerce Com
mission and the Public Service Com
missions of the States with regulative
powers, which are in effect legisla-
tive. And legislative powers of con-
siderable extent have been conferred
on municipalities, and cities have
even been authorized to frame and
amend their charters-though in some
instances it has been considered nee
essary to get this authority through
a constitutional amendment
Ii
just mentioned however, the legisla-
lures have still taken upon them
selves the responsibility for their ac-
tions. The case is different when
legislators voluntarily divest them
selves of their authority to enact,
and shift the responsibility with
which they are burdened back to the
citizens who chose them as their
representatives. This is shirking
and it is more apt to bring more dis
credit upon representative govern
ment than the 'nostrums'' of Pro-
greSS1vism could do.
1t might be just as well to make a
referendum mandatory, on petition of
a certain proportion of the voters,
and to forbid the reference of
so demanded. In this way the legis-
lative body would be compelled to
first exercise it's constitutional pow
ers and would be prevented from
lodging its duty to speak out and
act in its representative capacity. As
a gun behind the door" to enable
the people to Illustrate vicious legisla-
ton. the referendum would have
reason for existence; but the en-
ployment of the referendum as the
means whereby a spineless Legisfa-
ture may evade its responsibility
cannot be too strongly condemned

ONE DREADNOUGHT A MONTH

The largest contribution was made in
1911, when II ships of the dread

ing the four contingent ships of the
British program of 1909-1O, and the
two Dominion battle cruisers, built
by Australia and New Zealand. The
Tiger is the thirty-fourth British ship

proved in recent years from the fact
that 80 per cent. of the fires resulted
in complete destruction of buildings
and contents. Fortunately, only few
lives were lost, because most of the
fires occurred in factories, but this
fact will not protect us in the future
While some talk was circulated
with reference to locating company

been done to further this suggestion,
which, l believe, is in line with views
of Fire Chief Moore. l trust, this will

Actress, writer and clubwoman-

in Ella Maria Dietz Glynes, who was
born January 81, 1S47. BY disposition
and taste she was admirably suited
her stage debut at the age of
twenty-four very successfully. But
she was of so frail a constitution
that she could not stand the eXac-
tons of theatrical life and soon had
to abandon that calling Still she
was not discouraged, but turned
with renewed enthusiasm to dra-
matte reading. In Shakespearean in
depreciation she was especially sue
oessful and was praised both in
this country and in England.

Concrete city for Miners.

From the New York Times.
Every one of the twenty double
concrete houses in Concrete City, the
model village built by the Delaware.
Lackawanna and Western Coal Com
pany near Nanticoke, Pa. is occu-
pied; and with the completion of a
park 300 by 400 feet, which is sur
rounded by the houses, the settle
ment will be as perfect an example
of its kind as Forest Hills, L. l., the
model suburb of the Russell Sage
Foundation.
The houses. 80 by 20 feet, are two
story structures, built of concrete.
with fiat roofs and dark green trim
mings. They are modelled in one
piece, after the idea of Thomas A.
Edison, but under another mans
patent and adaptation, according to
the Coal and Coke Operator. Floors,
walls, roofs, stairways and even sinks
and wash-basins are made in a mold
of poured concrete They are so con-
structed that, on occasion, the furni-
ture may be all removed and the en-
tire house thoroughly washed out
with a hose.
Each house contains seven rooms,
and has stationary wash-tub,
butlery and a dry cellar Wooden
strips are embodied in the floors, so
that carpets may be tackled down.
Below the French windows. opening
outward. window boxes for flowers
are set in the walls. There are also
boxes for flowers set in the sides of
the front steps, above which small
overhanging roofs are supported by
chains.
There is ample space behind each
house for a truck garden, and prizes
will be given next year for the best
kept grounds. A complete sewage
system has been installed, concrete
walks surround and will intersect the
central square. and the whole place
Is surrounded by a stout wire fence.

There were two selections, one
Baby Bell" by Aldrich, and the
other Browning's Count Gismond,
which she read with such consum-
mate art that her listeners were left
spellbound, and it is said that rev
dramatic readers have ever pos
sessed such magnetism as she did.
Yet her manner was one or the
greatest simplicity. When she was
twenty-six she began her literary ca
reer. but her writings did not come
up to her dramatic work.
Very early in her career Mrs.
Glynes interested herself in club
work. and she was, in fact, one of
the founders of the first womans
club, Sorosis, in 1868, and later she
served as its president.

Old Shoes Not Wasted.

From the London Globe.
Old boots and shoes which, when
quite past wearing by anyone. find
their way into our dustbins are eX-
tremely valuable and find their way
again into our houses in most artis-
tic form. They are soaked in water
to remove the dirt. all the nails and
threads are picked out, and the
leather reduced to a thick pulp. from
which wallpapers, screens, etc, are
made. The finer the original quality
of leather, the better it takes the
bronze and old gold of the designs
which make these hangings things of
beauty Bookbinders and frame
makers also know the value of this
pulp, and carriage builders press it
into sheets, which are invaluable for
the roofs of the most luxurious We
hicles

Russia and Cheap Books.

From the Boston Herald
1t is fashionable to regard Russia
as decadent in literature as we'll as
backward in politics; but Russia is
lust now teaching the rest of the
world how to provide the masses with
cheap reading. In parts of Europe,
notably in Germany and France, the
work is done through the regular
publishers by means of 'Volks-
buecher" or "bibliotheques," made up
of volumes in paper backs, issued at
fairly low prices. The Russian sup
ply of such material comes mainly as
a form of newspaper enterprise.
Nearly all the weeklies and popular
magazines are in the field. Their
subscription charge includes the cost
of the books, which each undertakes
to send gratuitously.
This year. for example, the Niva
adds to it's weekly deliverances for a
twelve-month the complete works of
the novelist Korolenko in % volumes,
the complete writings of the poet
Maikoff and the translated works of
Edmond Rostand-all for $3.75 For
$3.50 the Messenger of knowledge is
sent weekly for a year along with
Buckles "History of Civilization
Haeckels Riddle of the Universe"
Diapers History of Intellectual De-
velopment in Europe" the autobio-
graphical writings of Tolstoi and
Rousseau, a history of science, a
volume on sex hygiene. Smiles's Self
Help" Lubock's Pleasures of Life"
and several other works. The pub
fishers of Nature and the People. sup
piled at equally low rates, offer 20
volumes of the works of Robert Louis
Stevenson. For monthly readers "a

Crue DeroiSrll

Let others write of battles fought
On bloody, CHASTITY fields,
Where honor greets the man who Wins
And death the who yields;
But will write of him who fights
And vanquishes his sins,
Who struggles on through weary years,
Against himself and wins.
He is hero stanch and brave
Who fights an unseen foe,
And puts at last beneath his feet,
His passions base and low,
And stands erect in manhoodS might,
Undaunted, undismayed
The bravest man who drew sword
In foray or in raid
1t calls for something more than Drawn
Or muscle to o'ercome
An enemy who marcheth not
With banner, plume or drum
foe forever lurking nigh,
With silent, steathy tread;
Forever near your board by day,
At night beside your bed.
All honor, then, to that brave heart,
Though poor rich he be-
Who struggles with his baser part
Who conquers-and is free.
He may not wear heros crown
Or fill hero's grave,
But truth will place his name among
The bravest of the brave!

NEW YORK. Jan. 27.-Since
Thanksgiving Day, eleven-year-old
Hilda Caine. daughter of Walter
Caine, of Sea Cliff. Long Island, has
been suffering from hiccoughs.
Hilda never was a strong child.
She had hip ailment that caused
her to be kept in a plaster cast FOR
months.
Almost Immediately after the cast
was removed she developed st. Vitus
dance, but under constant care it
began to look as if she would regain
her health.
The child was in fine spirits last
Thanksgiving Day. She went for a
short walk and was returning to her
home when a boy dressed as a raga-
muffin rushed down the street and
made grimaces and gestures at the
small invalid.
Hilda was scared speechless and
ever since her little body has been
shaken with spasms of hiccoughing.
1t was said last night that she could
not live more than a day or Two
