proudly as an artist delivering his
painting.
Modern Industrial conditions are
not such as to stimulate that pride.
Instead of turning out whole shoe,
the worker may Simply insert few
stitches of thread or drive nail into
each one of a great number of shoes
The man who contributes such a small
fraction of the completed shoe cannot
easily feel a pride in the total product.
But when a mans pride of work
manship has gone you have taken, the
heart out of his work His energy is
apt to be concentrated on getting
more pay for less hours of labor.
How can the modern worker be in
terested to take pride in his small
fractional process? One method that
has had much success is to keep care
full records of processes, and to have
the results tabulated or displayed in
chart form, and then given to the
employees.
A worker can thus see whether his
production is superior or inferior in
quality and quantity. This quickly
arouses the spirit of emulation, the
desire to keep UP with standard rec"
ords. A man hates to feel his product
has fallen below what others have
done and are doing. Some plants run
ming on such systems are reporting
that they have doubled production
and improved quality. If such meth
DDS could be introduced in all indus
tries. there would be a new spirit in
American blsiness. Labor troubles
would tend to disappear, expense of
production would so down. and cost
Of living would be lowered for every

MIGRATION OF DERELICTS.

An exchange notes that a tramp
turned up the other night at the city
police station, who was making his
10th annual migration toward the
north. This substantial citizen of
Hoboland is regular and methodcal.
Every fall he seeks the comforts of
the sunny south. With the return
ing sun he is back in the populous
centers of the north. He is typical
of a great grey caravant of derelicts,
who float UP and down the country
in human tide of worthlessness and
defeat. .
A man who chafes under discipline
may for time like this absence of
restraint and relief from the grind of
toll. A man once said he would rath-
er suffer toothache than work. There
are many of his type.
Yet these rovers have to work in
their own way, Not always is there a
convenient freight train. Many a
dusty mile must be traversed by their
tired legs. Many farm houses keep
big dogs for this particular purpose.
Not all housewives are easy marks
Soft hay is not always available. Many
a weary night must be spent upon the
hard ground. No reasonable man can
possibly feel that he has gained any
thing by the freedom of such life
Fagrancy is closely allied to mental
disease. But many young men and
boys show indications of being at
tracted to it. They have perhaps been
fooled by tales of hobo romance.
Young fellows who break loose from
home ties to seek adventure and see
the country are in great danger of
drifting gradually into this derelict
class. They should be shown that it
is a life of hard beds and scant food,
constantly hunted by the police. A
man in few years of it can utterly
lose his grip, and spoil all chances of
happiness.

PRESIDENT ARTHUR PROPOSED
New York SIM


Once in Washington. where DR.
Mary Walker passed most of her win
ters she had characteristic passage
with WI Ting Fang, then minister
from China.
Why" demanded that insatiably
curious Chinaman, why do you wear
pants?'
why do you wear a gown" re-
torted DR.. Walker.
Because it is the custom of my
country" explained Mr. WI.
This is a free country. and we
wear what we please" said DR.. Walk
er. y
So DR.. Mary Walker went on her
1onely. eccentric way through life,
true to her own queer individuality
as few human beings have been. Once
she barely escaped being tarred and
featehered by band of noble Oswego
youths who objected to her trousers,
but she wasn't daunted. She has
plenty of courage, as was shown by
her offering to sell one of her fingers
to a woman who advertised to buy
one to be grated on her hand in place
of one she had lost. Dr. Walker
wanted the money to devote to tuber-
culosis patients. but the advertiser re-
fused to clinch the bargain.
The little doctor never married
though she declared President Arthur
twice asked her to accept him. "Once
| refused because he smoked, and the
second time l said no because other
wise | would have lost my Identity
she said, in telling the tale.
One debt of gratitude men owe DR..
Mary Walker, which they ought not
to forget. She was the inventor of
the inside neck band on shirts, which
protects the flesh from being rubbed
by the collarbutton.

METROPOLITAN sALESMANsHIP

Those Albuquerque people who turn
their backs on their home stores and
buy goods in big metropolitan en-
poriums bring home some interesting
stories of their experiences. They
meet salespeople who are given care
full courses in all the arts o: sales
manship, and who are exceedingly
shillful in working off goods IN q
customer whether he is wholly
pleased or not.
A man who bought a pair of shoes
at such a place was speaking of the
incident the other day He was at
tended by a salesman who was a good
talker, but did not always put much
brains in his talk. The salesman in
sisted that certain pair of shoes was
a perfect fit, while the customer knew
they were too big. Finally, the sales
man hunted up another pair that were
a little better. He surveyed them on
the mans feet with admiration.
"They fit a great deal better than the
others he exclaimed, forgetting he
had just said the first pair was per-
feet and could not possibly be i'm
proved upon.
Another thing noted in that store
was that there were three statesmen
standing around with nothing to do
while that pair of shoes was being
tried on. 1t looked as il the business
came in big rushes and a great force
of help had to be employed 70 take
care of rush hours. That meant a
big extra cost for superfluous help.
Such conditions are quite different
from those of the home stores of AL
buquerque. There it Is considered
better to make no sales than one that
may cause dissatisfaction. And trade
comes along in a rather even way, so
that no costly extra force has to be
employed to meet the rush hour drive.

of one soldier who came home to die
He had left his wife with his par
ents. His last days were very unhap-
Ply, owing to the little differences that
he found existed between his wife
and mother.
His dying words. however. begged
for the care Of his wife, since the
parents were in fairly good circum-
stances. Now the neighbor tells how
the young wife has practically been
put out. a short time after the death
of her soldier husband.
The wife has no one to turn to-
The loss of the husband" says her
friend, has been bad enouh, but to
be treated in this manner by the
mother-in-law has doubled her sor-
row."
The neighbor also tells of the ex-
cellent qualities of this little wife and
how the mother-in-law had a spite
full and jealous attitude toward her
and made her life miserable all the
time the boy was at the front.
Now the case of this young woman
will adjust itself. Doubtless she will
find work to do and perhaps more
happy environment. AS time Is the
healer of all ills, it is possible too,
that she may meet another mate and
again be the wife of a good man.
Yet there is something to he said

While the exigencies of the war
and the economies Of the situation
make II necessary for this wife to
live with her husbands parents. yet
it is a bad business and not conducive

no matter how modest. There Is
something about two families living
together that usually makes for dis

SENATOR FALLS POSITION.

Senator Albert r. Fall, member of
the senate committee on foreign re-
lations, has given an Interview, pub
lshed in this issue of the Journal, in
which he explains, for the first time,
why he is opposed to the proposed
constitution of the league of nations.
He also gives in full his reason for
refusing to attend the conference at
the White House.
Senator Fall says he is not big
enough to put the interests of other
countries on an equality. in his esti-
nation. with the interests of this
country. II am for the United States
and her people first" he says, and
only for an internationalism that will
not impair the greatness and the pros
perity of the American republic.
Senator Fall does not say that he
would refuse to vote for ratification
of treaty providing for the creation
of a league of nations. but he does say
that he will not vote for acceptance of
the covenant in the form now pro-
posed.
lie is quite specific that the nations
of the world should unite to promote
peace and disarmament. but that such
union should not bind the United
States to take up arms and draft its
young men to fight the battles of
other nations. A commercial boycott
is as far as he would go in any quar-
rel which does not directly involve the
interests of this government
With the explanations made by him,
the mastery strategy of Senator
Lodge becomes apparent. 1t was
stated in some of the dispatches that
the presidents plan was to return to
Paris, secure the final approval OF
the covenant by the peace conference.
have 1t incorporated as an integral
part of the peace treaty. which would
Immediately be signed by all of 1.-The
high contracting parties except the
United States. The president would
then return, make speaking tour
for the treaty, and at last, when
everything was in readiness, call con-
gress together in extra session and
say to the senate: Sign on the dotted
line"
In such case it would be said that
the senate could not and should not
stand out against the rest of the world
and by its contumacy delay peace
treaty so sorely needed.
If such were the train of events, il
is plain that the Directing senators
would be placed in a position of ex-
IRENE embarrassment. The power OF
the president to enforce satificatior
would be tremendous
But the Lodge resolution, of which
Senator Fall was one of the signers
puts different face on the matter
Ample notice is given that the rights
and interests of the United States
must be safeguarded by. suitable
amendments of the covenant, If it il
to be ratified.
II this is not done. responsibility
for the situation created will rest up.
on the president, and not upon the
senate.
