WHAT WORKNfEN READ.

An investigation into the scope and
nature of the American workman's lit
erary interests reveals these facts:
Only about one workman out of fifty
doesn't read anything. About 81 IL
per cent of them read newspapers: "a
per cent read fiction magazines; 63
l-2 per cent read business. technical
and trade publications; 40 per cent
read novels; 10 per cent read classic"
literature; about Is per cent read re-
views OF current events: nine per cent
read magazines dealing with travel,
outdoors and geography, and the
same lumber read scientific maya
zines; six per cent read socialistic
publications; about three per cent are
given to reading the Bible.
On the whole, it's very good show
ing. revealing a high average of lit
eracy and greater appreciation of
good reading" than could be found
in any other country. with the posi-
bic exception OF Germany and Scan
dinavia- When it comes to keeping
in touch with the worlds events
through newspaper reading. the
American workman is uneQualled
And in his general range and choice
OF literature, he probably averages as
high as any other class OF Americans
except professional men.

THE SPECULATION FEVER.

Wall street is at it again. The mania
for stock speculation has reached a
greater height stan at any time since
the Civil war Immense fortunes are
being won and lost by big plungers;
and little plungers are risking their
mOney-and occasionally their en-
ployer's money-with recklessness
equal to anything known in the widest
days OF the stock exchange.
Two things are responsible for this
sudden outburst after several years OF
comparative caution and conservatism:
The boom in war stocks and tho sur

CAN'T GO CARRANZA.

Many will agree with Francisco Ur-
guidi. cons'-. sneral for Villa, that
recognition Carranza by this gov
eminent would mean a widespread
rebellion and another revolution in
Mexico. The people of Mexico will
not stand for Carranza. He went in
to office. after the success of his re-
volt against Huerta,-won for him by
Villa, Raoul Madero and others now
lined up against him-with every
thing in his favor. If he had been
of the calibre required of the man
1t would have been shown then He
failed, dismally. Within 60 days, by
a petty. jealous and utterly incapable
course, he had alienated Villa and
most of his generals. Since then he
hes given repeated evidence that he is
but : narrow minded demagogue
without ability. Furthermore, he is
at heart an enemy of America and
Americans
Villas reverses may tend TO pre-
Clude the possibility of extending rec
ignition to him, but certainly Uncle
Sam will only be cumming the cards
to restore a fallen idol to his totter-
Ing pedestal. The mediators should
insist on their original plan-that a
man be chosen outside of either fac
ton. BY recognizing Carranza we
stand committed to his cause in an
other bloody revolution. Is it help
ing Mexico to do that?

What the Papers Say
DYING BEYOND ONES MEANS
tkanSaS City Star. }


Oscar Wilde, on his deathbed, call
ed for champagne, saying he wanted
TO die beyond his means. Wilde's eX-
ample is not SO rare as his wit; in the
complex civiliza ton of today when
every household is a part of vast
and intricate economical system, men
and women, sacrificing health, hap
piness, and content to its demands,
are every day dying beyond their
means.
Generally the man who dies at
middle age unless he lays down his
life in the way OF duty, is such an eX-
ample. He dies beyond his means if
he dies paying toll of a social system
whose exactions were beyond his
ability TO meet, whether of aspira-
tions, money or bodily strength. The
woman to whom the race has not left
time to be happy and who is old
from the fever of it while still young
in years is as surely dying beyond
her means. Both have called for q.
drink far more costly than cham
payne.
Most people could be happy if they
didn't feel that they had to go after
the worlds standard of happiness
rather than their own. They had
nothing to do with fixing that stan
dard, but they are expected TO attain
| it just the same or be considered
| losers in the race. So the spectacle
| is seen every day of a sane man
yielding his sanity to be as insane as
his neighbor who is building a 40
! ton house on a foundation of soap
! bubbles.
! Civilization is loosely understood 10
mean comfort in living, security of
| life, hot and cold water and cooked
food. When these are compared to
life around a campfire, wild skins Tor
clothing and the near presence OF an
enemy looking for scalPs, the usual
deduction is that the case is all FOR
civilization. Perhaps it would be II
| civilizations advantages could be
translated into everybOdy's lives at
exactly their apparent value. But
what advantage is it to the man who
has no food to convince him that, ON
account of his stomach, food ought TO
be cooked? And what advantage IS
it TO the man who has too much food
to convince him that, on account OF
his stomach, he mustn't eat it?
! Hot and cold water ought to mean
hot and cold water, but it doesn't. II
means a plumber. tile baths and a
house larger than most families need
Il Security of life is about as fallacious
What is the security of life in fac
tory, or a mine, or in the cab of a

ton. Where is the comfort OF Twins

If that is the way civilization per
forms with it's usually bOasted advan-
tages its case for the minor matte OF
the attainment of happiness will moi
be likely to be more attractively pre-
scented. Except. of course. for the
lure of the race and the chance II
offers TO die beyond your means.
