Scissors, whose ruined cathedral
nov takes rank with Reims, has a re-
ligious and a military history unpar4
alleled among French towns. More
than one great abbey took root in the
town, but the greatest of all was that
of st. Medard, whose abbot, in the
thirteenth century, lorded it over 22O
villages, with innumerable manors and
vassals. st. Medard drew in 1880
over 100000 pilgrims to the famous
shrine. One or two of the early kings
of France are buried in what remains
of the crypt of the old abbey. Every

The Crystal palace, which is to be

connection with the war. Had there

FEDERAL INDUSTRIAL
COMMISSION
BY Peter Radford.

The recent investigation of the
United States Commission Of Indus
trial Relations brought together the
extremes of society and has given the
public an opportunity to view the rep
resentatives of distinct classes, side
by side, and to study their views in
parallel columns.
Capital and labor have always been
glazing at each other over CULTS of
misunderstanding and if the Federal
Industrial Commission attempts to
bridge the chasm, it will render the
public a distinct service.
The farmer has been sitting on the
fence watching capital and labor fight
for many years and incidentally furn.
ishing the sinews of war and it is
quite gratifying to find them talking
with, instead of about, each other.
When honest men smile and look into
each others souls, it always makes
the world better and far more salts.
factory to the farmer, who in the end,
bears the burden of conflict, than
resolutions, speeches or pamphlets
containing charges and counter
charges.
The love for justice makes the
whole world kin. Understanding is an
arbiter far more powerful than the
mandates of government, for there is
no authority quite so commanding as
an honest conscience; there is no de.
cree quite so binding as that of the
Supreme Court of Common Sense and
no sheriff can keep the peace quite so
perfect as Understanding.
We suppose the time will never
come when capital and labor will not
be occasionally blinded by the light
ming flashes of avarice or frightened
by the thunder peals of discomfort.
But Understanding is Prince of
Peace that ever holds out the olive
branch to men who want to do right.
A mans income is always a sacred
thing for in it are the hope, ambition
and opportunity of himself, and fam
lily, but there is nothing in a human
heart quite so divine as Justice and
Understanding is it's handmaiden.

RURAL SCHOOL TERM
SHOULD Be EXTENDED
BY P, P. Claxton,
u. S. Commissioner Of Education.

In most States school days for
country children are fewer than for
city children. The average length OF
school term in cities of the United
States is one hundred and eighty
five days; IN rural communities one
hundred and thirty-eight days, a diff
ference Of forty-seyen days. In some
States the difference is much greater
than this average. In many counties
the average length Of the rural
school term is less than one hum
dred days, and in some districts it is
less. On the other hand, in the
States Of California, New York and
Connecticut, the country schools are
III session one hundred and eighty
days in a year, and in several other
States almost as long. The country
schools of Rhode Island are in ses-
sion one hundred and ninety days In
a year.
If all children are to have an equal
opportunity for education we must
even up the school terms of the
country and give to all country chill
dren at least as many days as are
now given to city children. One
hundred and eighty-f1ve days OF
schooling a year for all children will
not be too much. There are coun-
tries in which the schools, both for
city and country. are in session from
two hundred and twenty to two hun
dred and fifty days or more in the
year. American children need as
much education as those of any 9TH
er country, and this applies to the
rural as well as urban districts.

AN AGRICULTURAL COUNCIL
By T. N. Carver.

Professor of Economics, Harvard University.
Every city has its chamber of COM
merce or it's Board of Trade. The
purpose of such an organization is
to study economic and business OPP
portunities of the city and promote
enterprises which will help to build
the city. Does any one know of
good and sufficient reason why ev-
cry rural neighborhood ought not
have a similar organization?
In Germany they already have such
organizations They are generally
called the Observation-Disclosures" or
agricultural council. Some students
of the problem of rural organization
are strongly of the opinion that such
an agricultural council is necessary
before much can be done for the bet
tering OF rural credit or the market
ing of farm produce. There is no
object, for example, in having more
CAPITAL in a farming neighborhood
unless the farmers know without any
guess-work just how to use that capt.
tai so as to increase the production
and the profit of their farms. If all
the leading farmers of a neighbor-
hood would lay their heads together
and talk over the situation and study
the opportunities for new investment,
they would be less likely to make
mistakes than if they work secretly,
as separate individuals.

In discussing the commercial
achievements of this great age, we
shall approach the subject as the
historian chronicling events. This Sc
ries will endeavor to record in writ
ing the supremacv of American men
and perptuate an appreciation Of our
marvellous industrial achievements by
presenting simple facts, figures and
comparisons that are oYerpowering in
their convictions.
America holds her proud place
among the nations of the earth today
on account of her supremacy in trans
portation facilities. The mighty minds
of the age are engaged in the prob
lens of transportation, and the great
est men in the history of the worlds
commerce are at the head of the
transportation systems of the United
States.
In the discussion of transportation,
let us consider separately our Rail-
ways, Telegraph and Telephones, Elk
press, Public Highways, Steamships,
Street Railways, Interurban and other
forms OF transportation, and this ar
ticle will deal with railways.
The United States has the largest
mileage, the best service, the cheap
est rates, pays labor the highest
wages, and we have the most efficient
ly managed of the railways Of the
world. They stand as a monument to
the native genius of our marvellous

Our transportation facilities are the

whole world These twin messengers
of modern civilization, born in the
skies. stand today the most faithful and
efficient public servants that ever

They are of American nativity and
while warm from the mind Of the in

supervision, spun a network Of wires
across the earth and under the seas.
Telegraphy, in it's early youth, mas

earth's surface, and now stands at the
seashore ready to leap across the

Their achievement demonstrates the
supremacy of two distinct types of
American genius-invention and organ

The industry was peculiarly forum

lect at its source and tremendous
minds to direct it's organization and
growth. 1t is the most perfect fruit
of the tree of American industry and
when compared with its European con-

Of the giant intellects that constructed
this marvellous industry and a journey
along the pathway of it's development,
illuminated at every mile-post of it's
progress by the lightning-fashes Of
brilliant minds, will be taken at a very
early date.
A brief statistical review of the in
dustry brings out it's growth and mag
nitude in most convincing and un-
forgetable manner.
The telephone service of the United
States is the most popular and efficient
and its rates are the cheapest of the
telephone systems of the world.
We are the greatest takers on earth.
We send 60 per cent of our communi-
cations over the telephone. The world
has about 100000 telephones and of
this number the United States has ap-
proximately $4,000, Europe 4.O2O 900
and other countries 100000. Accord
ing to the latest world telephone CEN
sus, the total telephone investment is
$1,9 100000 and of this amount ST.
O95,000,000 was credited to the United
States, $63e,OO0.O0O in Europe and
s175,00O,000 in other countries. The
annual telephone conversations total

100000. About six per cent of
the worlds population and sixty-one
per cent of the telephone wire mile
age Is in the United States.

THE PENALTY Of
;ARELESSNESS
BY S. w. lngIish,
Fire Prevention Expert.

Every time you hear the cry OF
SIRE" you can be almost absolutely
safe in thinking that someone has
been careless Fires don't happen.
They are the inevitable result Of
combinations of preventable things.
When analysed to the last equation
it will be found that carelessness is
the root whence spring nearly all
fires.
What a penalty industry pays to
carelessness! Fire is the great de-
stroyer. The wealth of generation
can be wiped out in but brief hour.
Why not fight fires before they
start? Why not so conduct your
habits and SO keep your premises
that when the fire demon wants to
offer your savings as a sacrifice he
will pass you by, just as those OF
Egypt Of old were passed over when
the sign they had been told to place
over their doors, we're seen?
Too often when those who are
responsible from fire cry out they
are the victims Of bad luck, they are
but paying the natural penalty for
their own carelessness.
II you want to keep down your fire
insurance rates, wage eternal war
fare against those things that ever
breed fires.

a DIVINE COVENANT.

God Almighty gave Eve to ADAM
with the pledge that she would be his
helpmeet and with this order Of COM
panionship, civilization has lowered
to it's greatest heights. In this relar
tionship, God has blessed woman and
man has honored her and after four
thousand years of progress, she now
proposes to provoke God to decoy
man by asking for suffrage, thereby
nv amending an agreement to which
she was not party.
Woman, remember that the Israelite
scorned a divine covenant, and as
result wandered forty years in the
Wilderness without God, Likewise
man should remember that it is
dangerous thing to debase woman by
law. Rome tried lowering woman's
standard and an outraged civilization
tore the clothes off the backs of the
human race and turned them out to
roam in the world naked and I'm
ashamed. -
