NEWsBOYs' GREAT OPPORTUNITY.

The list of self made men In high positions
In this country is long. Go into politics, and
there it may be found that many Of the most
eminent men began life in poverty and security
and forged to the front by their own ambitious
energies. Go into the professions, and the
same conditions will be found to prevail. &c
into business and industry, and there will be
fonnd merchant princes and captains of great
affairs who came up from errand boys OF
clerkships
Matt Brush, president of the Boston Ele-
waited Railway company, one hundred and
twenty million dollar corporation which in
cludes all subway, elevated and surface lines
in the Greater Boston area was once news
boy in Chicago At forty years he is head of
one of the biggest urban transportation sys-
TENS in the country, with a salary of fifty five
thousand dollars year
Newsboys score many successes in later life.
Many men eminent In craftsmanship, in the
professions, In science in invention. in bust
ness and in the industries served their appren-
ticeship in practical life by selling newspapers.
There is something about this calling that
serves to bring out the best faculties In boys.
In some measure, the successful newsboy must
have all the faculties that contribute to sue
cess in the great affairs of life He develops
the same type of astuteness that makes men
succeed i'll great undertakings. He rubs up
against the public, SO to speak. He learns to-
read human nature like a book. He learns the
lesson of self reliance and initiative He be-
comes discriminating. He develops judgment.
He becomes quick to decide and courageous to
act. These traits and accomplishments, added
to politeness and cheerfulness, make the news
boy of the ideal type miniature magnate in
his sphere Small wonder that so many Of
these wholesome boys rise to positions of honor
and trust later In life.

AIRCRAFT DEFENSE.

An interview with Rear Admiral F'iske
quotes that officer as declaring the coming of
an armed submarine of a foreign power into
harbor of the United States without warning
significant of our need Of naval defense The
admiral says that it means the easy possibil-
ity of fleet of such vessels undertaking a sue
cessful attack on our battleships He points to
the fact that we are deplorably weak in scout
and patrol boats One fact is apparent to the
lay mind in considering this warning from an
expert: Great Britain has been able to protect
her fleets and her harbors against submarines
since the first days Of the war To do this she
has put into commission a great number of pa
troll boats of various kinds and she has estah
lished an aerial patrol which has been pro-
nounced of supreme value. The airship is the
most deadly foe Of the submarine. both be-
cause it can detect the submarine more ouickIv
and accurately than seacraft and because if can
attack without fear of counter attack. Admiral
Fiske wishes immediate and ample provision
for scout boats, and this is sensible Great
Britain points the way to an aeronautic serv-
ice that will be a prominent factor in naval de-
tense Lord Montague in a recent speech in
London advocated an expenditure of seventy
five million dollars for an aerial reserve to pa
troll the coasts and cooperate with the navy,
and Lord Montague is a comparatively recent
convert to military aviation. The United
States government has published brief sum

RECORDS SHOULD BE PUBLIC.

There can be no difference of opinion among
fhe friends of reform In the civil service of the
government respecting the merits of the con-
tention Of the National Civil Service Reform
League that the records of the civil service
commission should be open to public inspec-
tion, under proper supervision. The commits
sion has declared that in denying the League
access to its records and eligible lists it has
adhered to policy under which it has operated
since its establishment in 1882, but Richard FL.
Dana, president of the League, has shown in a
letter to President Wilson that this is not true.
With the exception of brief period III 1899,
the records have always been open. But as
Mr.. Dana has pointed out, they should be open
now. no matter what the attitude of previous
administrations has been.
According to a formal statement made by
the League, there has been an abuse OF the
presidents order of May Z, 1913, regulating ex-
aminations for fourth class postmasters. The
charge is made that the intent Of the civil serv-
ice law and of the executive order 1'has been
beaten by the appointment of democrats over
others standing higher on the list" Tie
League does not say that this is true It
simply wishes to ascertain the facts and make
them public. Its position is reasonable and its
request for information is in the public inter
est. Both should appeal to Mr. Wilson, who
has been vice president of this non-partisan
organization

Whv Meat pricea Are Hioh

ST. Louis GlobeDemocrat: Only a
part OF the high cost OF living can
rightly be attributed to the war in
Europe Meats are the most con-
spicuous Of the food products, the
increasing cost of which is in large
part due to the war. And not all Of
the steady and heavy advance can
be charged against the war. When
the war came it found the number OF
beef cattle in the United States rela-
lively less than ten years earlier. In
other words. the supply of beef cat
tie is now but two-fhirds as much per
capita of population in the country as
in 1905 or 1908. Small land owners
have persistentiy refused to make
stock raising an adjunct of farming,
and in the early years OF the TWEEN
tiefh century the diminishing supply
was SO disproportioned to increasing
demand that prices were being az
fected With the vast cattle ranges
Of a quarter OF a century ago all
gone. increasing prices for meats OF
all sorts were seen TO be inevitable.
When to such a situation was added
the tremendous increase in the export
demand which the war brought with
ii, il was easily 10 be seen that the
ultimate consumer of meats was in
for paying for what was felt to be a
necessity, the price of what was be-
coming luxury. The real proper
tons Of that demand are greater than
had been supposed. A compilation
made by the foreign trade depart
ment of the National City bank, OF
New York, shows their immensely.

The noblest service comes from nameless hands,
And the best servant doeE his work unseen.
Who found the seeds az fre and made them shoot,
Fed by his breath, in buds and flowers of flame?
Who forged in roaring flames the poaderous stone

All these have left their work and not their names
Why should Ifmurmur a fate like theirs?
