The Influence of Environment

The Chicago Tribune, in a re-
cent editorial, comments on the
influence of environment as fol-
lows:
Abraham Lincoln was born in
the country. He was born in an
era when poverty, while it may
have been bitter, had not the sting
of the poverty of today. He had
for his guides a woman's love and
kindness, the Bible and Shakes
peare. Napoleon had no home
advantages, but it was his good
fortune TO be drawn into proper
and, to him, inspiring school as
sociations. His studies absorbed
him. They supplied him sinews
for ambition and stuff for dreams.
History might bear an entirely
different physiognomy, if Napol-
con, instead of having been born
in Corsica, had been born in the
underworld of Paris the under
world of even his day. If Abra-
ham Lincoln had been born in
slum like those we have in Chica-
go or New York today, he might
not have ended as the great eman-
cipator.
.'These reflections are forced
to mind by the recent utterances
of DR.. Charles w. Eliot, ex-presi-
dent of Harvard, extolling power
ty and implying that it mikes for,
virtue rather than for vice. The
sincerity of the venerable scholar
can not be questioned, but appar-
emily he is completely out Of
touch with the life of the Cities.
of industrial centers. big and
little.
Poverty breeds slums. The
slums destroy the health of their
inhabitants, And there can be no
sound mind in an unhealthy body.
Where the conditions of life are
as british and foul ms they are in
the slums, virtue can not thrive.
Poverty in generations past may
sometimes have been a spur to am
bition. The grinding poverty in
the slums today nearly always
brushes and destroys.
Let the boy who has been
brought up in the country under
stand that, even though he finds
the country uninteresting, the
city with its glitter is but little,
il any, different from the light
which attracts the moth-it will
eventually destroy him. Unless
the young man can come to- the
city and meet employers of labor
on an equal basis with other EN-
pioyees, he must seek out the
slums as place of abode, since
his earning capacity will not per
nit of his doing otherwise. Will
such an environment, he will soor
realize that the cid home is mo-
such an undesirable place after all
or he will go down into poverty
which has no comparison with tn
poverty 40 often connected will

The one to leave for the above pur-
pose will be governed largely by the
length of the growing season.
The time to cut sweet clover for
seed is when three-fourths of the pods
have become dark brown or dark in
color. The crop may be harvested in
much the same manner of alfalfa, the
ordinary grain binder or header being
used. Sometimes the crop may be cut
with the ordinary mower, after which
it is raked ard stacked. When cut

For the first time in thirty years.
there will be no Labor Day Parade
in New York City this fall. The La
Dor Unions have decided to take the
money the parade will cost and use 1t
to relieve the unemployed union men.
In times past. In New York City,
many thousands of union men have
marched on the first Monday in Sep
teRber. Their parades have been spec
tacular. No money was spared in max
ing them a success. The horses in the
parade were union shod and the men
union-equipped. There were union
bands and union badges. There were
union made uniforms and union re-
freshments. So that the expense to the
union men for their Labor Day parade
In one way or another, led to an expen-
diture running into great sum Of
money. All this is to be forsgone
this year and the Unions, very COM
mendably. will turn the money to help
their unemployed brothers.
This instance Of practical charity
on the part of Union organizations is
attracting wide attention over the
country and has caused considerable
comment, especially in view of Presi-
dent Wilson's statement that the hard
times are purely psychological"
One good working man says he is
"sure getting psychological pay
checks" He also says he is buying
psychological shoes and probably
soon will be eating out of "pschologi
