MAIL CARRIERS HOPE
FOR WAGE INCREASE
(From the New York Tlmes)

The memorial then pointed out that
from 1910 Offices. with PAST carriers
and an annual service cost Of s2S'i7o,-
20i, the service had increased at the
end Of 1916 TO 1864 Offices, with Sa'ii4
carriers and an annual cost Of service
of s43,i36,sis.
1.-THE results have been attained by
the continued expansion, extension and
lmproV ement of the city delivery ser
vice, and the introduction and success
Of the parcel post delivery" continued
the memorial.
Every Improvement or extension Of
the service depends TO a great extent
on. and adds TO the burden o., the
letter carrier. This, coupled with the
| increasing demands and eXaetions LOT
a higher standard of efficiency, entalls
upon him a greater amount OF mental
and physical effort than formerly,
which has not been met by proper
tionate increase in compensation.
Letter carriers, as representatives OF
| the Government, are obliged to conduct
| themselves at all times in a. manner
which will reflect credit upon the SER
vice. They must meet their obligations
promptly live decently; and while on
/ duty present a neat appearance in uni
| form, which they must purchase from

mortal concluded:
presenting this memorial TO you
we respectfully appeal, on behalf o.
4 the city letter carriers Of the UniteC

ries Of city letter carriers, ana tina
they be granted an increase In salar'

B0L0 PASHk IS CENTRAL FIGURE IN PARIS YET His Affairs Are Said to Be Responsible for the
 Resignation of
 PainIeve. TRIAL BE HELD SOON The Noted German Spy Started Life as a Fish PedIer-Story of
 His Life.
TRIAL BE HELD SOON

PARIS, Nov 23.-Paris is still concerning itself with the activities of Bolo Pasha, the German spy, who was responsible for the resignation of Premier Painleve, it having been claimed that one of the premier's chief subordinates had communicat ed confidential state secrets ito ar unauthorized person" In fact, a secret document concerning the Sal oniki army was found in the safe of Bonnet Rouge, whose editor, Mi guel Almereyda died in prison after being arrested for sedition.
 It is said that Bolo was on inti- mate terms with the editor. Bolo has caused another stir by charging misappropriation of large sum of of the Journal, in which an interest was acquired by Bolo from funds furnished by the German govern ment.
 The career of Bolo is being traced. He was born in He de Reunion and raised in Marseilles.
 A dispassionate survey of his car ger reads something as follows:
 Fish merchant, ladies' hairdresser, crook, embezzler, convict, lobster merchant, a keeper of a question able house, forced traveller out of Marsha, Asia Minor, for keeping a house of ill-fame; the prime mover of many other shaded transactions wherever he went; an intimate friend of the ex-khedive's grand vizer.
 Bolo, at present, is very ill and there is a whisper that there is a hidden hand" in Paris that made Bolo i'll and would have at once destroyed him had it not been for the timely interference of the author ities. He would have been done away with like Almarayda, another recent French traitor who immed- lately committed suicide" when his guilt was found out. In Paris stor- ies are being told-stories that would be printed in peace times - that there are hidden hands" in France, in America, in Italy, in Switzerland that would spend millions of francs to do away with Bolo Pasha.
 The authorities are doing their utmost to encourage him to regain his health and be properly tried.

bred Berkshire sows that had
been bred to a registered male.
| also had two sows that owing
to my own lack of foresight, or |
should say common sense, had
been loafing on the job. The
pure bredS caused me to see the
error Of my ways, and by looking
ahead a little | saw what might
be accomplished toward paying
off the debt with hogs, so the
other two sows were bred.
This was in December, and
the next spring my Berkshlres
brought nine and eleven pigs,
respectively, the other two ten

pigs were sold for $15 each when
six weeks old, the other two be-
ing kept for my own breeding
stock. These sales amounted to
1910. The other lot, being just
common stock, brought $3.50
twenty at $3.50 each, when six
weeks old. Thus in the course
of a few months I had $4O0 to-
ward paying that $500 debt. w.

WHAT THE POOR BOY CON-
TENDS WITH.

| At many Lincoln day ban

is Lincoln s democratic spirit. his
rise from poverty to great fame.
| and the chance this country
gives the poor boy. Yet as the
poor mans son in our schools
the Lincoln day thought
eHpOunded by the teacher. he
sees very little chance for him to
rise. lie would trade his chan
ccs Of being president. or even Of
acquiring a sizahle bank account.
Tor one clay marble.
The boy in Lincoln's position
70 years ago suffered from adj
verse exterior circumstances.
Without education and simuIat-
ing association, there was little
chance that genius would be
famed into fame.
If the poor boy of today has
good qualities Of mind and
heart. his teacher will discover if.
Thousands of such rough dia-
monds are all the time picked out
from the dirtiest dust heaps, and
are winning their way.
But in the bright boys own
heart there are too many seeds
of decay. They are the corrod-
ING influences of the street, the
cheap theatre and the loafng
hangoutG In manv a home of
poverty, high ideals have been
preserved, and the boy is kept
6m these corrupting influences
sp1d urged on to show what is in
Him. But if home poverty is due
10 vice, and the boy runs wild in
the street, the best school adj
vantages can do little for him.
SO the poor boy should realize
that it is all up to him. He has
a good chance in our democratic
America if he can but rise above
the low level OF the street. Let
him do any honest work out of
school hours. save his money,
and before long he will have
good name in the business com
munitv Then it is only a strong
and steady pull, and his future
is secure Ruston Leader.

TRUE JOURNALISM ABOVE
MONEY RETURNS.

"No man is a great newspaper
man who makes a fortune out of
journalism, declared Colonel
Edward S. Wilson, editorial
writer Of the Ohio State Journal,
in a talk before class III .ioufh-
alism at the Ohio State Univers-
ity. eff he does his name is for
gotten by posterity. Journalism
is above money returns; it oc-
cupies the high attitude Of human
duty"
Touching on the field of wo-
men in the journalistic line, Col.
Wilson said he was of the opin-
non that the spiritual influence
of women is what is needed in
journalism today. Intellect, +"
he said, lis faulty and full OF
errors and cannot be trusted. but
the spirit can.
\ "The main thing with an edl-
tor he continued, is his person

will be a true man. lie cannot
make a good editor unltss he has
the Christian spirit This per-
sonailty should make itself do
this? Get down on the human
felt in the editorial. The only
real Intelligence conveyed is
through the heart; you cannot
instruct a man wholly from the
intellect. :.
"Keep your temper. Don t
get mad. When you write an
angry editorial lay it aside for
few hours and you will not PRINT
it. I've done that a hundred
times. Let a spirit of optimism
prevail in the editorial columns.
Avoid controversy. Nothing IS
ever settled by newspaper argu-
ment. It simply deepens the
chasm between the two views.
