Business Men and Boys.
(springfield Republican,


Harried school-teachers in New York
the other day found an opportunity TO
turn on their prosecutors. They had
been listening to business men who
told of the bad spelling and inaccurate
arithmetic of boys coming to them
from the public schools, when one
principal had courage to inquire what
inducement business men give boys to
do well in school. And to point his
query he gave instances of boys who
had been successful in getting jobs
which called for more book knowledge
than they had taken the trouble to
acquire in school. While on the other
hand, he had never been able to find
that employers came to the schools to
seek competent help, or showed any
appreciation of the kind of compe-
tence which a school is supposed to
impart. 1t Is a fair retort. Book
knowledge. of course, is no guaranty
of success in business. and an en-
ployer may have good reasons for tax
ing ON an alert, energetic boy even II
his literacy is dubious. But in that
case he cannot we'll hold the schools
responsible for this deficiency Com

but compulsory laws cannot make

More interest in competence and. more

would do much to vitalize education.

Many hundreds of years ago, wise
old prelates, writing the Anglican
Church prayer of contrition. recog-
nized two varieties of sin, commission
and omission. They taught us to pray
for forgiveness for doing those things
which we ought not to have done, and
for leaving undone those things which
we ought to have done. Today, in
this wonderful century of material
achievement, the second form of sin is
more prevalent than the first. We
cannot or will not spare the time to do
those things which We consider I'M

there's nothing in it for us. Nor do

Editorial Comment.
On Paying the Fiddler

(The Editor and Publisher and Jour-
nalist)
What with Orange Day." apple
Day" Rice Day." ''Prune Day." Sal
mon Day" and other food days editors
are having difficulty in finding space
in their papers for news and advertis-
ing-that is, those editors who are
yielding to the appeals made by press
agents and commercial organizations
for free publicity of these events.
If the orange growers of California
and Florida desire to popularize the
fruit and thus increase their incomes,
why don't they advertise? Wouldn't
it be just as ridiculous for Wrigley to
ask the newspapers to publish articles
in favor of tSpearmint Gum Day.
or Elmer Bliss to request support for
a Regal Shoe Day." or Bert Moses
for an omega Oil Day."
These men are national advertisers
and spend hundreds of thousands OF
dollars each year to make known their
products. Because of this fact, they
ought to have a better chance of hav-
ing their requests granted by the
publishers, should they have the
temerity to make such requests, than
the growers of fruit or the Gamers of
salmon, who either do not advertise at
all or who spend only small amount
Of money for publicity.
Fortunately they have too much
sense to even suggest such a scheme
The newspapers are always willing to
help along any movement that will
benefit the community but they draw
the line on printing advertising mat
ter that should be paid for. Publish
ers are not in business solely for their
health.

about 800 of the city's unemployed

and ell the neighboring restaurants
and chop suey joints were raided for
supplies, until all were fed.

the -Pauneefote treaty was an
agreement to let John Bull boss the
canal they had builded for the world?
Who is supposed to collect the tolls ?
WHO WILL FoRTIFY AND DE-
FENp THE CANAL?
Can there be more than one correct
and honest answer to either Of the
above questions? Then where does 1t
leave Woodrow Wilson and Demo-
cratic pledges in the opinion of the
American people?
At the Portland Democratic conven-
ton last week, Senator Johnson, w.
r. PattangalI and other speakers
lauded President Wilson TO the skies.
His advanced leadership, his rincanny
wisdom, his unifying influence over
his party, his grasp OF world affairs,
and his wonderful accomplishment"
(the effects OF which we are assured
are to come some time in the future)
all these were dwelt upon with
sweetest praise. Since then Repre-
sentative McGillicuddy in the Second
district has voted as the President
demanded. AGAINST NAMES
SHIPPING INTERESTS.
1t is quite generally understood that
Senator Johnson will listen to the
command of the party leader and,
when the day arrives, vote for the
Canadian and other cross country
railway monopoly and against a pos
sible upbuilding of Names shipping
interests to the menace of British su-
premacy on the sea.
The Democratic party has NEVER
been a party of constructive action.
1t has ALWAYS been a party making
tissues" by opposing constructive
Legislation. Its glittering generalities
have often led this country to disaster,
but in those cases the people have
been generous enough to believe that
Democratic leaders had been mis-
taken. Never before, to our remem-
brance, has the Democratic party
brazenly repudiated it's platform and
campaign pledges fer the sake of ruin
ing American prosperity in the inter-
ests of Great Britain. Never before
in the history of that party of
prejudices, mistakes and blunders, has
it capped its mass of semi socialistie
cure alls with a downright reputation
of its pledges to Americans for the
sake of fulfilling it's obligations to for
eign sources.
cratic party has been accused of as
surfing it's success in the last election |
through the use of British subscrip- |
lions of funds?
The repeal of exemption of Ameri- |
can coastwise shipping tolls is the
climax of lickspittle service OF
Democracy at British behest. We are
daily reaping the results of the Will
SON. Underwood tariff monstrosity, but
even Underwood could not follow Will
son in turning squarely away from
party promises and campaign procla
nations.
Had the Democratic national plat
form pledged the party to British con-
troll of American affairs, we could
hardly have blamed Speaker Clark for
refusing to endorse his party's course,
but today we honor him for declaring
that party pledges should be regarded
as sacred and as binding as any other
promise or oath of office; and that
ANY MAN WHO COULD NOT
STAND UPON THE PARTY PLAT
FORM HAD NO MORAL RIGHT TO
ACCEPT ELECTION UPON IT'S
PROMISES.

The late Henry J. Williams OF Farm
ington was noted for his gigantic
strength and many are the stories told
of his feats of strength. Albert B.
Dolhier recalls that on one occasion
while his father and DIR. Pillsbury
were in partnership, the firm received
a barrel of rosin weighing from 500 to
600 pounds. Mr.. Dolbier was hunting
around for men to get the barrel up
stairs for storage when Williams hap
pened along and offered to carry it Up.
mir. Dolbier rather thought he couldn't
do it and offeredI him what cigars he
could smoke for some time if he ac-
ccmplished the feat. Williams picked
up the barrel and finally landed it on
the upper floor, but the last few steps
proved mighty struggle even for his
brawny frame.

April for me is everywhere thou art
And it's December every time we part
Yeal though for other folk the wild
white spring
Half heals, half breaks the heart
With every lovely and rejoicing thing
Before thy lightest football winter goes,
And turns to yiolets her shroud of SHOWS,
The leahess desert when thy voice is
heard
Fills with the budding rose.
And rings with song of the enraptured
bird.
God spare me from the coming of May
That can return, but thou be gone away
Urgent with crowding leaf and cruel
bloomi
Yet best for me to stay
Than thou in such fearful empty room.
