tive art in which there is katharsis
through pity and fear and pride and
joy. One woman leaves her husband;
a hundred women chatter about it and
their passionate interest might make
cynic wonder whether they are not
living through all the emotions of a
great adventure without the risk Of
moving away from their own steam
radiators. Gossip is experience with
out responsibility. 1t is means of
taking part in interesting or important
events without any of the risk that
comes of being an actor in them. Cos
sip, in short, is the pleasure of the
spectator at the business of life.

Do you believe in protection? We
hope you do Not only protection in
National affairs, but protection for the
industries and establishments Of your
own town. There are lots of men who
will argue with you for hours over the
manifest advantages of protection for
the manufacturers down east, who
send out of town for everything they
need, if by doing so they can save a
flew pennies. This is wrong and dead
wrong. We maintain and are not afraid
to say so that the home man is going
to get our business whether his pric-
es are higher or not. In most cases
they are not higher; in nearly all cas-
,es they are as low as he can make
them and obtain a decent living
profit for himself. He won't object
to your going to his competitor for
your needs, but he does object and
rightly so, when you send to Milwau
kee, Chicago or Dubuque, for the
things the home merchant, lumber
ldealer, printer or implement man, can
supply you with and furnish every adj
vantage of service and price.

AT THE DOOR.

So fast the door, so firm the lock;
But, 10, he toddling comes to lure

The sweetness OF my baby's plea,
That timorOus, baby knocking and,
please Let me in; it's only me-"
threw aside the unfinished book
Regardless of it's tempting charms,
And, opening wide the door, I took
My laughing darling in my arms.
Who knows but in eternity
l, like the truant child, shall wait,
The glOries of a life to be,
Beyond the Heavenly Fathers Cate
And will that Heavenly Father heed
The trusnt's supplicating cry

This week in Washington meet a
bcly of men, who by their services
deserve the undying gratitude Of all
generations of Americans. We have
placed among the heroes those veter-
ans of '76 who with their blood found
ed the nation. Do we pay enough
honor, we later ones, to the heroes
still among us, who welded it tOgeth-
er? They, realizing the horror of war
knew that some things are worse than
war, and shed their blood to give us
the blessing of a land united and free.

man, doff your hat to him, for he de-

Capital has its rights, and labor has
its rights. Under present economic
conditions one cannot exist without
the other. The problems apparent in
a small business exist in a larger de-
gree, but of similar aspect, in the huge
corporation. The big concerns have
been finding out that treating their
employees as human beings, taking an
interest in them and their welfare, and
i'm short being brothers to them, is
vastly more successful than the old
methods OF espionage, browbeating and
blacllisting. We know of a concern
that had triel The former methods

at a dreadful cost. One day they took
the binders from their eyes and went

man whom they thought could help
them. He looked like a farmer and
some Of the wise city fellows laughed
at him, but in two or three years this
man because ne knew people, had

into 2 united body, working for one
purpose that of doing their job in the
best way they knew how. He is a
young man yet, and some day all will
hear of him. We feel hOnored to
know him.

SOME GOOD OLD SAWS RE-
FILED IN MODERN LANGUAGE

The autos the thing.
A tire saved is a tire bought.
Gasoline makes the auto go.
Oil in time keeps the engines fine.
While there's gasoline there's hope.
Be careful and you'll never be pinch
ed.
It's long stretch of sand that has
no end
An autoist is judged by the company
he rides.
A four-cylinder car may look at
twelve.
Unto each machine some accidents
must befall.
All the world loves the owner of
new model.
IT'S a wise autoist that who knows
his own machine
Trust in the Lord, but keep your
tail light burning.
A reckless driver and his machine
are soon parted.
A car in the garage is worth two on
the sales floor.
You never miss the gasoline till the
tank runs dry.
He who rides in the rear seat can
not choose the way.
Let the muffler remain closed, for
the muffler oft proclaims the man.
In the spring a young mans fancy
lightly turns to thoughts of a new
model
Speed and the world speeds with
you; slow down, and you ride alone.
All machines that glisten are not
gold; but if they glisten you may be
sure they do not need painting.
Seest thou a man diligent in his
driving he shall get on to the next
town; he shall not tarry long on the
road.

Some day we will advance far
enough to realize that the child of to-
day is the man of the future. Yes, we
know that is an old saying but old
savings must be said and resaid to
make us realize their meaning. In
every school room of the country one
can see little folks suffering physi-
caIIy and mentally with defects that
could be and should be corrected. The
time will come when if the parents
are unable or unwilling to do what
is necessary, the state will do it for
them.

Young Mr.. Rockefeller, who, by the
way, is not a young man at all, eX-
cept by comparison with his august
father, Jawn D., has been filling up
the front pages of the dailies with the
story of his trip into the hinterland
of Colorado. The reporters who &C
company the financier must be snOb-
bish race as they are in perpetual
state of wonder over Mr.. Rockefel-
ler's eating, walking, talking and
sleeping like the regular genus homo
Though fate has elected him to be the
guardian of vast industries and the
women, he is just as human as the
humblest mucker in his mines. The
story of Ludlow was one of horror,
probably as sickening to Rockefeller
as it was to thousands of readers.
More than likely Rockefeller would
give his entire fortune to ameliorate
conditions beyond his control, but un-
able to do so he has done the wiSeSt
thing he could do; gone among the
miners and shown them that he is just
an ordinary person willing and anx-
iOus to be friends. A wise man has
said that kings, dukes and financiers
are not snobbish nor do they want
people to kowtow to them, but the un-
derstrappers who "love a lord" force
them to appear so.

A fool may always attract attention.
The fool who shot President McKin-
ley attracted worldwide attention on
two occasions-the day he shot the
president and the day he was hung.
One of the feats credited to Jean
Jacques Rousseau is that he made the
| poor man proud. 1t is a feat of which
he should have been ashamed. A man
may more properly be proud of lack
of intelligence, of politeness, of fair
ness, than prosperity. 1t often hap
pens that poverty is unavoidable, ow
ing to illness, or other misfortune, but
never can it properly be the subject
of pride.
/ This country greatly needs a publ
cation widely distributed which will
defy the fools in every issue. In our
present publications, fools are encour-
LACED in every issue. Continually flat
ter a bad workman, and he will not try
to become a good workman; compli-
ment a bad country band, and it will
remain bad; its members will wonder
why they are not invited to play in
Chicago.
Men talk and write of success as
tremendously difficult thing, and init
innate that in order to achieve it man
must give up all the finer feelings, all
leisure and all enjoyment. Success
is not actually difficult; indeed, it is
easier than failure. 1t results in more
usefulness than failure; in more leis-
ure, more enjoyment. Success is nat
uraI; it actually means no more than
living life in the easiest and most natu-
raj way.
Do we take up" crazy men soon
enough? 4
! Should not many of our noted fools
be in the insane asylum?
If a man lives thirty to forty years
without learning the easy lessons of
life, he is worse than fool? Is he not
mildly insane?
If a man believes he can afford i'm
lpoliteness, unfairness and laziness, af-
ter the long teaching that good con-
duct is better for its own sake, has he
not graduated from the ranks of the
the fools into the ranks of the insane
In every community may be found
men who are succeeding because of

that men who are not succeeding do

BOWMAN CRICICISES
CITY'S BUSINESS WAYS
Director of Municipal Research
Bureau Addresses Monday
Conference.

Extensive administrative control of
municipal expenditures and standardized
salaries, service. materials and supplies
are vital to Philadelphia, according to
Ralph Bowman. director of the Bureau of
Municipal Research, who delivered an
address at o'clock this afternoon in the
Curtis Building on Municipal House
cleaning" before the Monday legislative
Conference.
Mr.. Bowman said there was a general
lack of uniformity in the fiscal policy of
the city, and that appropriations should
be simplihed. He suggested the adoption
by the city of public Improvement pro-
gram, and criticised present budgets an
ticipating supplementary appropriations
as unsound business practice
Public ownership of public utilities"
said Mr.. Bowman, today undesirable be-
cause OF public inefiicency, are surely
coming In the next generation" The
speaker said 1t was the exception 50 wears
ago for a city to own it's own water
works. To-day it is the exception for
any city not TO control its water Supply
and own its water works."
Franklin Spencer Edmonds the first
speaker took for his subject Municipal
Home Rule" The basis for such a de-
mand, he said was In the fact that TODAY
46 3-lO per cent. of the total population
OF the United States live in cities or i'm
urban districts, resulting in an increase
in the amount of legislation required by
the cities.
