ing that the most profitable work is
that given by the most healthiest and
best educated laborer above sixteen
years OF age. Every hope is enter
tanned that children under sixteen
years OF age affected by the above
laws will find profitable place in
school. With children from ~ to
l6 years of age in the mill schools I,
will be possible in the near future to
add manual training and domestic
science to the course of study in
these schools.
THE mill man is interested in his
child and his home conditions. The
mill people are not different from
other people of the State. They are
citizens; they have pride, they have
honor, they have aspirations, they
i've but that occupation maintains our
chief manufacturing industry, it is
not destructive of human life and en-.
ergy. The mill school has a great
opportunity to teach the child to
emulate the admirable traits of the
mill operatives, to know that cotton
mill laborer is honorable and that
his hand and brain should be trained
through the channel of a school ts
better fill the place in the mill which
will be made vacant by his father.
with the continued cooperation
and support of both mill manage
ment and operative the mill schools
will steadily push to the front rank
The time is not for distant, if not
at hand, when the child of the mill
operative will have the same educa
tional advantages as the child Of tn.
mill president. The possibilities ur.
fered by the mill schools are great
and the children of the mill opera
tives are willing to accept the benc,
fits of such schools"

IF YOU make a popular success Of your
profession, as Mr.. David Belasco has
Il done in the theatre, it almost proves to
certain idealistic souls that you are spiritually
corrupt To be entirely satisfactory to these
tender consciences you must be a little beyond
the pale There is distinction for them be-
tween principle and expediency, and expedi-
ency, as they see it, is probably unprincipled.
They base their suspicion of you on the ground
that you have made terms with the world as 1t
is. You are practical man."
There is a sound distinction, obviously, be-
tween a statesman and politician, one that
goes far beyond the region of governmental
affairs and that applies to any man who has
a public TO engage or consult This distinc-
ton does not turn, however, on a mans prac-
teal aspiration 10 public favor. About states
manship there is a general misconception de-
rived in all likelihood from memorial sculpture
and not in the least made real because it i'm
poses itself on living occupants of the frock
coat The memorialized statesman is a sedate,
remote, detached, immobile figure. The con-
temporary statesman, as every one admits,
must be in the thick of human affairs. His
consideration of details like the Grand Army
veteran and the buttermilk vote may not be
inscribed on his monument in the park, but 1t
is invariably precise knowledge and pertinent.
To expect statesman TO be like his monu-
nent imprisoned on his own elevatedness, is
sheer nonsense. No arrant politician pays
keener regard TO human ways and means.
Where he differs from the politician is in the
quality Of his political or social or educa-
tional or artistic inspiration. He will play
politics." in the sense that he will look out for
popular preferences and prejudices. The thing
with which he will not play is the inspiration
that sends him ahead In the heat OF con-
test the politician and the statesman are both
100 per cent involved The difference is that
the politician feels free 10 sacrifice tie intangl-
bic goods for the sake of securing the tangible.
while the statesman, equally intent on securing
the tangible, takes defeat rather than arrive
without his chance 10 give large inspiration
scope. That inspiration cannot be entertained
without reference % the public mood be 1t
heroic mood" or what not. But where expert
solicitation IL the chif aim Of the politician,
with himself and his own fortunes in mind,
the statesman is led 10 solicitation because he
has ssSnsfkfaQ else at heart.

dazed bosoms, nearly busts the last and
only buttoned button on his shirt.
Clara heaves a scornful bosom when
she repulses the amorous advances of
the black-hearted snake who has bought
her hand, but not her heart. Father
heaves broken hearted bosom when he
sees the evil he has brought upon his
hitherto happy home. The villain
heaves a sneering bosom when he and
julius meet, and julius, his proud spirit
uncrushed, heaves back hating bosom.
The comedy Irish cook does her bit, and
so does the comedy English butler, and
I'm only surprised that little Chow Chow
isn't roped in for a performance with
his abdominal muscles.
There's perfect orgy of heaving at
the climax, when the villain dashes over
a cliff in his automobile on the very day
of the wedding. This scene begins with
the scoundrel's dying heave, which lifts
the upturned automobile three feet, and
concludes with fadeaway of Clara and
julius, their two bosoms heaving as one.

sure he is the hero, because he is so nice
and plump and because he wears his
sport shirt decollete and his hair plas-
tered back from his forehead. He has
just returned from his rough work in
the foundry; for julius, as you can tell
at a glance, is one of the worlds work
ers, strong, masterful, masculine man.
Of course, his first act as he enters his
humble room is to seize Clara's picture
on his humble dresser
Now, if you would know what the
grand passion really is, watch julius in
the close up. There! Isn't he grand?
No, he isn't going to moo, though I'm
not surprised that you ask. But see his
bosom heave. Some love, what?
And so it goes through thousands of
feet of film. Father heaves sad bosom
when the human spider puts the screws
on and buys Clara for $50, 900 and first
mortgage on the home. The villain
heaves a gloating bosom when he puts
the dastardly deal across. Clara heaves
a fainting bosom when the terrible news
