the number of men who swear nj on

few weeks drop back to their old ways.

luton, at home with your wife looking

Yet man who is to command others
in life must have some command over
himself If he can not stick to cer
tain course two weeks, he will hardly be
able to make others do his win in any
business enterprise.
A man who expects to do large things
must be imperyious TO ridicule. The
people who envy his success win always
find his ideas absurd. Hence it is ex-
cellent practice to make and keep
resolution in the face OF the jeers of
ones friends After you find you can
do it, you have an excuse for quitting If
it seems best. But usually the resolu-
tion proves permanently useful.
New Years resolutions are said to
be out of fashion. Perhaps that is be
cause one day year for new beginnings
is so inadequate. Every day in the year

: Government and Railroads.

Charles A. Prouty, director of the di
vision of valuation of the interstate
commerce commission, in speaking be-
/ fore the Pan-Ameriean scientific con
gress in Washington has made state
ments that are attracting national at
tention. Some have taken his remarks
as a prediction of government owner
ship of the railroads. We have not
Seen the text of his speech but are un-
able to read into any account We have
seen of il any declaration for govern
ment ownership. He did state that be-
fore government regulation of public
utilities can be affirmed it must be de-
termined whether necessary private
funds can be obtained under regulation
for the development of these utilities.
He said it was certain that the rate of
return must be very much in excess of
the rate at which the government could
borrow money for providing the same
utilities and the question might finally
be: Can the people afford to regulate
their utilities. or is it better that the
government furnish i. the service first
hand
II is unquestionably true that the
government could borrow the money 20
pay for the railroads at a lower rate
than private capital can be secured. 1t
might also be able to secure management
OF the roads at less cost than private
management is secured. But that is not
the whole question. VIII private opera
tion be as efficient and cheap as private
ownership and operationsl Experience
does not indicate it viii. All government
operations are much more expensive than
privately managed operations and cheap
er capital might fall far short Of max
ing up the difference in the cost Of pb-
lie and private operation Of the rail-
roads. Mr.. Prouty undoubtedly recog-
nizcs this better than most Americans
and we shall not expect he win become

Devotes His Life to Preventing Strikes.

Among the interesting people in the
January American Magazine is Robert
G. Valentine, the first expert ON indus
! trial relations and the only man who en-
joys a profession by himself. A few
years ago he was Indian commissioner at
Washington. He decided then to fit him
self for his peculiar calling. 8
"When his term as Indian commission
er expired he refused the offers OF we'll
paid jobs that came to him, and staked
his life and all the money he had saved
on the realization of his dream.
ut isn't always the employers who
retain him. In a big eastern city the
telephone girls were about to strike.
The company, in preparation for the con
lict, had imported an army OF strike
breakers and lodged them in down
town hotel; everything was ready for a
struggle that would have Frustrated the
city's business for weeks.
"Then the girls, wishing to strength
en- their case, called in Valentine. So
successfully was he able to present their
cause to the company and the public that
their demands were granted, and there
was uO Sliikt.
"A year ago he made labor audit for
big manufacturer. These conditions
in your factory are fundamentally
wrong he said, naming them. You may
not be forced to change them for good
while yet; but ultimately you will be.
My advice to you is to change them now,
before you are forced to. The changes
suggest are just and fair; when you have
made them you will be insured against
labor troubles The manufacturer had
an idea that Valentine was bit vision
airy, but he followed his advice. Six
months later strike swept through
that industry tying up pretty nearly
every factory in it-except the one where
had worked
Another progressive manufacturer has
employed him recently to study all the
profit sharing schemes in the world and
Evolve one that shall be better than any.
"That's what it means to be an ex
pert in industrial relations. Valentine
S proud of the profession and he has a
light to be. He says that declaring
dividend is not half as much fun as de-
laring strike off before it ever hap
'ens; and auditing ten million dollars is
lie most prosaic kind of business in
with auditing ten thousand

Events Leading Up to Shooting.
Gattaro, the boarder and the only
| witness ofsthe shooting, furnished the
authorities with the most connected
story of the tragedy available. He is
a granite cutter, too and his return
home from the stoneshed shortly before
o'clock was followed by the usual
preparations for supper. Gattaro and
Mrs. Lungo fingered longer than usual
over their coffee and light wine and it
was we'll toward o'clock before he
pushed back his chair and started to
read the daily Giornale Italiano. Mrs.
Lungo arose from the table and had
busted herself with clearing away the
dishes at her own place when someone
entered the alcove on the ground floor.
Soon the bulky frame of Calf framed
the outer door, which leads from the
second story stairway landing to the
living room in the Lungo home. As he
stepped into the kitchen, where Gattaro
was seated at the table, he paused Mrs.
Lungo was in the pantry, adjoining the
Kitchen on the rear. Gattaro says he
nodded 'carelessly and Calf returned the
salute 1t was Mrs. Lungo who spoke
first. Her words apparently wrought
an instant change in Caffi's manner, for
Gattaro recalls that he appeared dis
concerted when Mrs. Lungo had spoken
a few words, words which Gattaro, his |
eyes and his mind ON The Giornale, |
failed to catch.
In the next minute the Lungo woman |
was telling Calf of her decision to join |
her husband in Raymond. The two had |
become reconeiled, she said and until /
she should have time to pack her be-
longings and depart for California Calf |
would be expected to give the premises
4 wide berth. Caffi's way of receiving
her ultimatum must have struck terror
TO the woman. Gattaro says he stood
On the threshold of the kitchen doorway
Tor a moment, upbraided the woman in
iorceful language for spurning his at

pace of few moments and Caffi's de
