 Telegram. A trip to Europe we would make, It would be good for us. But we must wait till we can go There in a jitney bus.

JAPAN AND PHILIPPINES
From the Boston Globe.

In Formosa 1t has been proved conclu- sively that tropical climate is ill-f1tted for the Japanese. yet a conjecture that the Mikado has some designs on the Philippines continues to be source of constant irritation to a group of ner- voys- citizens of the United States.
 It would bc well for such Americans, as former Secretary Of the Department of Foreign Affairs at Tokio urges. to kill. once for all. this green monster of sus- picion.

Appreciation of Good Music

'In my residence here of nearly 20 years the part of the general public in good music" said a busy professional man. up to nine or ten years ago virtuosos like Kubeik, the violinist; Hoffman, the pianist, and a little later Bauer, one of the greatest pianists in the world. gave recitals here before small audiences and audiences that seemed cold. Hoffman played at the Jefferson theatre to less than 100 people. Several fine orchestras that came here several years ago failed to pay expenses. The musical situation
 Is very different now.
 'In the first place, Birmingham is a very much larger city than 1t was eight or ten years ago, but in regard to the musical atmosphere very noticeable is the fact that a much larger percentage of people have been educated to love mu- sic of the highest order This has been especially evidenced in the large and dis criminating audiences that have attended all the musical entertainments this sea son. The Sunday concerts have done a great deal to educate the public taste, and as for the work of the Music Study club people of culture cannot say enough in praise of it.
 "The first music festival that has paid out was that given last spring with the St. Louis orchestra and our big local chorus under Rienzi Thomas baton as features. After all expenses were paid the women who managed the affair had a to 1a ar ina ry1 this years festival We are to have the same chorus that we had last year, but with the Danirosch orchestra instead of the St Louis. I predict that Damrosch' s | matinee will draw a packed house, and, of course, the night performance will att tract a capacity house.

IN the February American Magazine
 Ida M. Tarbell continues her series of A business articles entitled "The Golden Rule in Business In the present article she takes up the subject of wages, in the course of which she tells the story of Brooklyn drop-forging company, founded by James H. Williams. MT. Williams fac tory grew from the smallest of its kind in the United States to the largest. His idea was that it is chiefly the employees who make a business successful and not the proprietors or the banks or the tariff or the rebates. Accordingly, he paid high wages and in other ways developed the men who worked for him to the highest point of efficiency and contentment In the following extract from her article Miss Tarbell tells part of the story of what MT. Williams did:
 He decided, in spite of the fact that he was running the smallest business oi the kind in the country, to pay hlgh wages One of his chief concerns as the business grew was to see that the men were getting enough-all that they earned. Again and again a man was called In and told that something had been added to his wages because he was earning IL. But the reverse was never true, that is' the pay was never cut below what was a days wage.
 "But Mr. Williams was not satisfied with the operation of the fixed daily wages. He believed that it did not give the men a sufficient chance or the max mum incentive. Accordingly, b years ago he introduced wherever he could system of niece work. It was at time when this system was highly and justly unpopular; but Mir Williams in introducing II made it an ironclad rule that the two practices

WAR ECHOES

St. Louis Post-Dispatch: From Switz- I erland Helene Bronislas. a great lady of Poland. appeals to America 1 in behalf of her unhappy land. It is, she says, "a pot of clay that Is being ground to powder between two mighty pots of iron.'' Twelve millions of her countrymen, she declares. are facing star vation while the huge armies of Russia
 and Germany locked in gigantic conflict, sway back and forth across the prostrate Polish motherland.
 'In the agony of my heart" she cries, q think it impossible that Americans who help so many who extend their protec- tion to all beautiful causes, who recite in their schools poem about Kosciusko. will not hear me. They will organize a
 commission to inquire and wipe away | the tears of the poor.
 There is no question of sides here. Ut is not question of belligerents. Let Americans of all sympathies take I interest.

 Edward Eyre, in Golfers: This public
 worship of the army is wonderful thing
 to see and the army which is worshiped
 is a wonderful instrument In Germany
 today the army is the people; 1t Is the
 race, the mob, the manhood Of the na-
 tion the whole anonymous swarm or
 human beings which make up people;
 nameless, numberless impersonal; dis
 guised in gray-green uniforms which blot
 cut the men inside with all their little
 ambitions and hates and cowardices and
 loves, and which leave only an overflow
 ing reservoir of graygreen energy to
 spread like fire across the world. It has spread into the air and the sea as well. I was walking down Dorotheen- strasse in Berlin one morning when l saw the street crowds gathering on the curbs, all looking upward. There was soft purring sound in the air like new theme introducing itself into the staccato | music of traffic; but the sea-blue sky was empty. 'A

He grabbed me iplusively by the shoulder. | God" he said, and know the oath was | prayer, its beautiful! it's beautiful! And you can bet your life 1t will blow

AN EMPLOYERS PLAN

, which had made it bad repute should
 never be allowed in his shop. Tn the first
 place the regular day's wage was guar
 anteed, whatever the mans output. In
 the second place his piece work rate was
 never to be cut. whatever the conditions; if 1t was 10 cents a piece, ao cents 1t should remain.
 "You may earn all you can and the more 1t is the better we will like it. "The experiment was immediately suc- cessful. Earnings of wbrkmen rose in some cases to $6 or more day, and at
 one period in two years the shops out
 put was doubled. There were certain other
 phases of this wage policy which Mir Will Hams insisted on; for instance, if dull times came as they always do come, the
 work went on, stock being made up in
 order to keep the linen together. If this
 lasted longer than the resources of the firm could stand, half time was tried, and
 men were employed alternately so as to give each a fair chance.
 ''Consider. the heresy, It upset the dog l, ma upon which our whole industrial policy has been based, the dogma of the econo-
 my of cheap labor. You must pay labor as
 little as possible, since this is the only way to produce cheaply and it is to the interest of the people that things be cheap. There is also moral reason for
 low wages. High wages give men more
 money to spend in drink and idle amuse-
 ment,' and hence are kind of social evil

 "Mr Williams's experiment with his craed r,royed that if did not spoil labor.
