PRETTY GIRLS AND OTHERS
After All the One Who 10 Mice" Is
Apt to Be the Most Popular
With Everybody.

We all know the old Joke OF the
pretty girl who is presented as saying
to the homely girl. Its too bad not to
be good.looking. isn't it?" and the
homely girls response: Yes, because
one has to be nice, and that's hard
did you every try it?"
OF course we enjoy the reply, espe-
cially as We know how much greater
the impression that is made by being
nice, the Milwaukee Journal observes.
The pretty girl who doesn't think this
necessary is away behind the homely
girl who has really learned to be what
we describe SO satisfactorily and in
definitely by the word nice
But do we ever think OF this as one
or the definite accomplishments OF life
that can be acquired, not so easily per
haps as knowledge of algebra or his
tory. but just as surely? Every day
we meet someone, often several per
sons, whose lives exemplify the beauty
OF being nice. Very soon we learn
to know them and we are ready almost
without thinking to go little out OF
the way to see that we do meet them.
They are not all homely girls; some
OF them are pretty. and many OF them
aren't girls at all Most OF them al
ways seem to be nice" by nature.
But anyone with an atom of justice in
his reasoning knows that at some time
and probably often, there has come
to these persons who make life bright
er the question, Does It pay?" Maybe
they never really proved that it did
That doesn't matter SO much, for
they have kept on with the CHEEKY
look, the pleasant greeting, the friend
illness and graciousness that are the
worlds greatest Joy bringers. And
that is enough to make them far better
remembered and far more beloved
than If they had been named the reign.

SAD REFLECTION ON y -.
PROGRESS OF TODAY

It has long been the practice Of
those who would awaken meh and
women to the necessity Of Changing
our economic conditions to display
tables OF figures showing how few in
dividuals own so much property, and
how many have incomes Of four hum
dred, six hundred, and ten hundred
dollars. And in order that the I'M
imaginative may miss nothing, dia-
grams are made to convey the
thought by vision. But no matter
how carefully such data may be gath:
cred, or how faithfully they may be
arranged, there is always a suspicion
that other statisticians might have OBJ
tanned different results. But when
the Chicago newspapers announced
with a glow of satisfaction that the
local street car companies had placed
In the hands Of the United Charities
association 10000 tickets to be dis
tr1buted among poor women and chill
dren to enable them to go down to
the lake shore during the torrid spell,
a fact was presented that none can
gainsay. That fact is that in one of
the richest and most prosperous cities
In the world, and at time when sci
ence and invention have raised the
power of man to the very pinnacle of.
industrial achievement, vast number;
Of women and children sweltering in,
the district away from the lake are
dependent upon charity to reach it's
cooling waters. Are these people so
much better off than the Indians who
beached their canoes at the mouth of
the Chicago river a. hundred years
ago that they can boast of it? What
reflection upon progress! And what
a call to those who see the cause and
know the remedy! -

MERCHANTS AND LABOR UNIONS.

Fifty or more years ago the merchant was hard
working painving individual his necessities governed
by his business his stock of goods by demand of his
trade
In those days workers were earning small wages
for an extremely long workday; their demands were
limited by small pay envelope; their amusement prac
ucay limited to conversations; seldom discarding his
overals except to attend funeral marriage or church
when he wore his tri-yearly Sunday best
Inc demands OF the wage workers, who constituted
the great majority of limited the turn over
ana profits OF the merchant hence the status of the
merchant was little If any, better than the wage worker
Long hours and small income was the rule
With the rise of the labor unions came better wages
and shorter work-day This was followed by an earlv
closing movement by the merchants. HIGHER wages
created bigger demand for necessares and so-caed
luxuries The merchants turn over was bigger his
prohts greater and his variety of stock greatly extended
by rapid disposal OF his own stock he has now quantity
quality and variety; and above ALL leisure to enjoy
1e The labor unions have raised standard of liv-
Ing OF all layers of society," the merchant being no
exception to the rule.
What, then, does strong labor movement mean to
the merchant? Just this: It means that the waee
worker has enough to spend for the neeessaries
some luxuries In life; twenty-five dollar suit instead
OF ten dollar three dollar hat instead of a fifty

AT NINETY IN THE SHADE.

(By James Whitcombe Riley.)
Hot weather? Yes; but really not
Compared with weather twice as hot.
Find comfort, then, in arguing thus,
And you'll putt through victorious!-
For instance, while you gasp and pant
And try to cool yourself-and can't
With soda. cream and lemonade,
The heat at ninety in the shade
Just calmly sit and ponder Ger
These same degrees, with ninety more
On top Of them, and so concede
The weather now is cool indeed!
Consider how the sun would pour
At one hundred and eighty-four-
Just twice the heat that seems to be
Affecting you unpleasantly,
The very hour that you might find
AZ cool as dew, were you inclined.
But why proceed when none will heed
Advice apportioned> to the need?
Hot weather? Yes; but really not,
Compared with weather twice as hot!

SLIGHTING THE RECORD.

There is sadness and pathos in the letter which Raw
mond Robins chairman of the recent of the
late Bull Moose party addresses to his erstwhe asso-
clates Their great hopes, which awhile the sun
seemed to be rising have failed the leader they fol-
lowed up to the moment when it became evident that
there could be victory this year has left them the
party IS dead and has been somewhat hastily indie
corosuy buried Mr.. Robins only option is between
the two historic parties
Is there in the long argument he makes hint of the
reasons why his party failed? Robins chooses the
Republican party, but the grounds he gives for his
choice are hopes and dreams Again and again he passes
over the record OF experience to that Repub
hcan party will do things of unquestioned power, And
more than he asserts that things are to be hoped
OF the Democratic party which have been already
plshed during the three short years of it's return
Mr. Robins indicts the militia with it's menace of
shiftless incompetence, spells politics and ORGANIZED
snobbery at a time of world peril" Does he forget
that it is Republican militia that as vet the law nro
Vdlng reorganization has barely effect? Even
so can he shut his the that organization and
performance far better than scandal and the
incapacity Of 1898?
Mr.. Robins falls back on the old talk of sectionalsm
that has been the except the tariff In sixty
years of only slightly interrupted Republican rule He
asserts that the doctrine of sectionalsm snce the Civil
war has delayed national legislation urgently needed to
solve the problems of food, transportation child
labor and conservatism But this is ridiculous Sec
tlonasm, by which he the influence of the south
had no chance during sixteen years Republican admin
lstration Congresses that dared pass the Dngey and
later the Payne-Adrich tariff afraid to provide
these other things-if they had wanted them In all
that time less done for constructive conservation
and to free children in mines and mills than the party
he accuses of sectionalism has done in three years.
But if it is difficult to understand Mr.. Robins reason
ing, 1t IS impossible to understand his omission the
real questions that the country in this cam
paign He ought to know that the question of our
own attitude toward America superseded other issues
But this he is silent than the non-committal
Chicago platform of the party he expouses He makes
the vague statement that Mr. Hughes words have been
made good by deeds. But of Mr.. Hughes silence and
omissions he says nothing
Does Mr.. Robins believe that the party whose demise
he aments will be swayed by asserting that the Repub
ican party will do the things it failed to do? Does
he believe that his recent associates put these things
above the first great question of what do with
America?
