OF Course, the Plumbers Are Guilty

TT DOES not matter what they are charged
L with, plumbers are always guilty. They
have not a friend who dares arise TO defend
them, and when they need defense they have
to pay for It at exorbitant rates. Even then
they do not escape. The 36 plumbers who
have just been found guilty OF violating the
antitrust laws were doomed when they were
indicted by the Federal Grand Jury and the
verdict In the United States District Court
In Des Moines was foregone conclusion.
Every householder knows that the plumbers
continually violate the antitrust law, and
the law against splitting on the sidewalk and
the law requiring bakers to sell pound loaf
of bread for five cents. and the law against
selling liquor on Sundays and the law
against speeding automobiles, and the law
against building wooden houses within the
fire limits, and the pure food law, and the
law regulating freight rates and every law
under the sun, from the ancient blue statutes
against chewing tobacco within half mile
of a meeting house, and the law against kiss
ing their wives on Sunday to the latest
statute passed by the most advanced Legisla-
ture in the most progressive State in the
freest land under the sun. In the classic
language of Shakespeare, the plumbers are
the goat and have 10 take 1t.

PAsSlVe resistance To knowledge
THE President has had plenty of expert
i ence. He knows and he says that most
Of the pupils of most OF our universities sys-
tematically resist being taught" He was
speaking in behalf Of a small struggling COL
lege in Kentucky, which happens to be filled
with people hungry to learn" That Is gen.
orally the case. There is more learning in
adversely than there ever be in pros
perity. 1t is perfectly possible for a lad to
be good Latin student and an expert auto
mobilist at the same time, but It is extremely
unlikely.
There has not been any royal road to
knowledge since eminent instructor in
ancient times discovered the lack Of such
convenience Nor is there likely ever to be.
That is one of the glorious things of nature
man may inherit much, but he can inherit
neither character nor learning. He must
work for both and work hard, or be- what
so many delight to be, a mere parasite in a
world of activity.
The average person gets out of life just
what he puts into 1t, no more and no less.
An infinite capacity for resisting the intro
duction OF knowledge is not so peculiar a
characteristic as to entitle the possessor to a
place in the side show. It puts him with the
majority and dedicates him forever to a low
level Of mediocrity. That is why, no doubt,
the rewards for demonstrated ability are so
rich and numerous.

How Gold Crosses the Ocean

From the Chicago Herald.
It would be natural to suppose that shipments
OF gold bullion back and forth across the At
lantic would be attended by considerable pre-
caution, but there is probably no other place
in the world where the transport OF great wealth
is carried on with such simplicity.
One OF the great liners has two strong rooms
the smaller being in close proximity to the can
tain's quarters, while the other is next to the
provision department The small, strong room
has it's walls, floor and ceiling lined with two
inch steel plate, and contains nothing in the
way of furnishing other than shelves This has
more than once contained enough gold to buy
the liner many times over The locks which
OF the double variety, are rendered still
more secure by covering the keyholes with steel
hasps which are themselves locked In place
with massive padlocks This strong ROOM be-
ing located in the most frequented portion of
the ship Is passed by persons at all hours OF the
day and night-in Itself the greatest protection.
The strong room, located near the provision
department, is ~ feet long and four feet wide,
and II often happens that both these rooms are
