MUST BE PLEASURE IN WORK
Otherwise 4 Mans Lot In the World
AssuredIy 10 Cast in the
Hardest Of Places.

A mans luck is as hard as adamant
It he is not in love with the work he
does as with a maid he woos It is q
miserable thing to care for ones occu-
patton merely because it shuts out
the thoughts that burn like irons if
you think Any trade or profession
you could name is a poor affair If it
Is but time-killer. a stop-gap, an
opiate. the ballast of the dirtgible
life. You hear a man start his work
with faint tap at a clock stroke, and
you hear him drop it with loud thud
at another clock stroke, and you know
his soul and his brain are not alive in
the thing that he is doing. Why? A
thousand men are thousand reasons
why.
Any man who can be accurately stig-
matized as efficient dreadful wordD
brings all OF himself to the task in
hand He brings not merely his sixth
sense and his fourth dimension to bear
on his concerning handful, but every
bit of vital electricity in the storage
batteries of his whole being When
he has done his level best, he is, as
we ironically say, played out" and
he is supposed to take a rest-which
may assume the form of harder labor
than ever in a wholly different field of
endeavor.
In fact, the man who has formed the
habit Of work is never happy to be
idle. 1t is no use to extend to him
the prospect OF complete hiatus in the
name OF vacation. The program OF
the null and void would assure him an
acute uneasiness. There is a saying
that nature abhcrs a vacuum-so does
a real live man, the son of nature.
Send an Edison to bask in Florida
orange grove and he is restive as a
lost soul, for his mind still twinkles
with the filaments Of his laboratory in

tinre to shine for many a voyager who
has left his familiar skies on the
other side Of the world.

The success of the Republican
party in the various municipal
elections last week indicates that
the political tide is now running
strongly in favor Of that party
and foreshadows a sweeping Re-
publican victory at the general
elections in 1916. AS a rule
party lines are not drawn very
rigid in local elections, bat at
the recent balloting there seems
to have been a disposition on
part of the voters to signify the
disfavor in which they hold the
democratic party At present.
This expression leaves little
doubt as to conviction in the
minds OF a large percetage o.

1t is reported from Washing

due to the spread of prohibition,
that new methods of taxation
would have to be devised to Offset
the loss. Always new taxes;
never a curtailment of expenses,
is the policy of the government.
The loss of revenue from liquor
taxes is as yet Insignificant, but
it may prove handy subterfuge
for sticking a tax on something
not yet taxed. Notwithstanding
the poor mouth the present ad-
ministration is making over the
treasury receipts, the national
revenues, what with the income
tx and the war tax (both newly
devised) will this year doubtless
have exceeded those of any pre-
vious year in the history of the
nation. Therefore, it is not that
the revenues are declining, but
that the country has exceeded

many millions of dollars, that is
the cause of the treasury trou
bles. Taxes are easily laid on,
but it seem an impossible task
to lay them off. True, we are
far from having reached the lim-
it of our revenue raising power,
but that is no good reason why
we should try to reach it in sus-
tanning a national protligacy.

Why Germany is Efficient.

The manual training schools in
Germany are intended especially
for the class of boys who idle
aw y their time before and after
school on the street.
The regular session closes at
about half past two O'Clock in the
afternoon, and after this time the
boys who, either through poverty
or the Indifference of parents, are
not properly and beautifully en-
ployed, must attend the industrial
schools for the rest Of the day.
In the summer time the boys,
divided into classes, each under
the supervision of a teacher, are
trained Systematically in all the
branches of gardening. Atother
seasons of the year the boys are
engaged at varions light Graf in
work rooms, such as the making
of baskets, brushes and brooms.
and plain carpentry, where the
use of tools is taught. Type
setting and book k-binding are
taught to the advanced and older
classes.
Each boy receives a small re-
muneration for his work when it
is faithfully and obediently per-
formed. The money, however, is
not directly paid to him, bat is
put into a saving bank for him,
and from time to time he raceives
his certificates OF deposit.
! The girls are taught knitting
and all kind Of sewing in the same
systematic manner. Every .es-
son is made a clasa drill. The
children work by dictatien, all in

selves to blame for results. OF
course it is to be said in ex-
tenuation of much of the cost of
local government that it arises
out of the rapid growth and i'm
provement of cities and the things
that make for comfort, but the
waste of expenditures in these
directions is an appalling item,
and one that bears heavily on the
man who least can afford 1.-THE
man who links he pays no taxes,
but really supports the Office
holders who regulate his affairs.
To cite the extravagances of
local administration, almost re-
gardlessof section, would require
a volume, but in the official sum
maries of totals which census ex.
perts bring together, there are
illustrations which stand out
prominently. Thus with a total

Uuited States at the close of the
fiscal year 1918, amounting to SEQ
million dollors. a trifle more than
half this sun, or S293, 295, 900
represented the value of court

schools and libraries in contrast
was only 961a million dollars,
while 921a million dollars had
gone into charities, hospitals and
corrections. and about 561la mil

the burden of military main
tenence and waste, but they have
given little thought to the fact
that to supplant the idle standing
army they have encouraged the
creation ofanother army, which
while unorganized. is yet quite
as parasitical in character and
even more useless, for the ex-
penditures of standing army
can be fixed definitely, but the
expenditures of an army of Office
holders usually will show no limit
short of human tolerance, and
American tolerance. it may be
said, is a very elastic quality.
The task of getting rid of excess

than getting rid OF a standing
