part:
Culture does not mean the possession
of a body of knowledge common to

thing today. 1t uenotS rather an at

of information. 1t implies enjoyment
of things the world has agreed are

that mankind has found valuable:
compre hension of the principles that
the race has accepted as true All this
involves desire to know coupled
with a capacity to acquire and appre-
ciate No doubt. men differ very much
in their natural power of acquiring
such a culture. Some people are born
with little or no aptitude for ii. others
with a strong impulse for 1t, but no
one is born possessed of il. No one

But if culture itself is elusive the
roads thereto are not fixed by authori-
tative signboards. nor mapped out by
universal agreement: and if culture no
longer implies a recognized body of
knowledge, there is no regular Curri-

JOHN D. LONG is DEAD;
FORMER U. s. NAVY HEAD
Noted for Having Sent Message to Ad-
miraI Dewey That Started Battle
Of Manila.

bingham, Mass.-John D. Long, for
mer secretary of the navy and former
governor of Massachusetts, died at his
home here Saturday.
Mr.. Longs death was generally I'M
expected.
He was secretary of the navy during
the Spanish American war. 1t was he
who is on record as having dispatched
the famous message of April 25, 1898,
to Dewey, commanding the Asiatic
squadron, then awaiting orders at
Hongkong.
Mr.. Long was called to head the
navy department when President NC
Kinley took office in March, 1897, and
also served a year in the cabinet OF
President Roosevelt
Rumors of his resignation were ire
uuent during the Sampson-Schley con
troversy, when Mr.. Long was accused
of unduly favoring Schley, but he de-
clared he would not resign under
fire" and retained his position until
1902, when he was much affected by
the death of his daughter and his OWL
i'll health.

General Trade Conditions.

Dun's says: The international mon
etary complications and disturbances
in the ranks of labor constitute the
chief elements Of uncertainty in the
general situation.
There is, however, nothing either
unsound or disquieting in strictly do
nestle finance and though further
controversies between employers and
wage earners have arisen, serious and
protracted troubles have thus far
been averted.
The foreign exchange problems,
which attract much attention, are es-
sentially those of the belligerent ma
tions, and affect this country mainly
in the sense that export trade may
be impeded until relief is afforded.

FARM BOYS ADVICE TO BOYS
% Not Forget That Little Pieces Of
Work Are Trifles, and Trifies
Make Perfection.

The farm boy must learn from the
beginning to become skillful farmer
and take an interest in. the work he
does and the work that is going on
about him.
If he does some work that does not
please his father he should not be
scolded but, rather, encouraged and
shown and helped to do the work
right so he may not make the mistake
the next time
If there is a cheerful, encouraging
work spoken to the boy 1t will help
him wonderfully.
The boy should learn to do his
work honestly and well and not to
think this or that little piece of work
too trifling to do, for the trifles make
perfection.
If he will do his work well and
honestly he will have a clear con-

DECLARES REPORT.
FRANK P. WALSH REPORTS
Low Wages Cause Unrest of Workers

vises Workers to Stand Togeth-
err for Own Betterment.

Chicago.-The responsibility for the
strike of coal miners in Colorado in
1918 and 1914 and for the disorder and
suffering that followed is placed d.
rectly on the shoulders of operators in
a report by George p. West, publicity
director of the commission on indus
trial relations, made public by the
commission.
The Colorado Fuel & Iron company,
controlled by John d. Rockefeller, is
formulating and carrying out strike
policies. MIR. Rockefeller and his son,
John d. Rockefeller Jr. are charged
first, with the selection Of incompe-
tent and reactionary agents to serve
as executive officials in this company,
and, second, with giving their hearth
est Endorsement and support to these
that precipitated the worst Of the
troubles.
Mr.. Rockefeller Jr. is charged with
having approved measures to coerce
the state government of Colorado and
with having flouted the will of the
president of the United States.
Dictation to Workers.
Low wages was found to be the ba-
sic cause of industrial unrest in the
report which Frank P. Walsh, chair
man Of the federal commission on in
dustrial relations, and the labor men,
bers of that body will present to con-
gress as a result of the commissions
two-year investigation into the sub
ject.
The report, embodying the personal
in by Commissioners John B. Lennon
James O'Connell and Austin B. Carrot
son was made public at Kansas City
Saturday.
1.-THE workers Of the nation, through
compulsory and oppressive methods
legal and illegal, are denied the full
product of their toll" it was declared
in the report, and the resulting indus
trial dissatisfaction was said to have
reached proportions that alread,
menace the social good will and peace
of the nation"
, Responsibility for the condition un
, der which they live was placed pri
marily upon the workers themselves
, who blind to their collective strength
, and oftimes deaf to the cries of thei
fellows have suffered exploitation
and the invasion of their most sacret
rights without resistance"
