Changing The Name
Of A City Street
Not New Practice

Chicago, Sept. 13.-The war time
agitation which changed the name of
many a street from Teutonic to Eng

ever present mutability OF street

Weather Records And Forecasts

An inspection OF the July report Of the United States
weather bureau for the North Dakota section makes plain
q fact that all weather forecasts. must be accepted with
discrimination. In any estimate which human Beings
can make the possibility Of error is always present. The
weather forecast is no exception to this rule, although
the records show that the forecast of the weather bureau
contain far fewer errors than is generally supposed. Aside
from the possibility OF absolute error in the forecast 1t
is to be remembered that every forecast deals with a
wide territory. It is Impossible to prepare forecasts for
cities. townships or counties. For the purpose Of the
weather bureau the country is divided into great belts
or districts often comprising the area Of several states. In
this district forecast is often made for North Dakota, and
II rain 10 predicted for North Dakota on a certain day
and at some point In North Dakota on that day skies re-
main clear for the entire ~ hours, the weather bureau
is apt to be charged with bad guessing. The record for
July Just published sivss the results OF observations at
about 100 points covering every part Of the state. There
were only four days in July on which rain did not fall
somewhere In North Dakota, and yet the month was
less rainy than usual both in the amount Of precipita-
ton and tn the number Of rainy days at any particular
place. II the forecast Is Interpreted, as It IL apt to be,
ofthand. as applying to every part Of tho state, it would
have been necessary Tor It to predict rain In North Dako-
Ia on all but those four days. Such a prediction would
not have fitted any locality in the state, while, rain fell

Railroad And Poo,toaice Salaries

I. There seems to be good basi4 for the criticism
made by Representative Thompson Of Ohio Of the salary
practices of the federal government with reference to the
railroad and ~postoffice services respectively. Mr.. Thomp-
son calls attention to the fact, which doubtless he states
accurately. that the railroad administration il paying to
certain members of its force several salaries as high as
$4,000 a year and that the average Of 70 salaries in tho
department is close to $4,000 a year. He contrasts this
with the postoffice service in which it is q well known
fact that the salaries paid are nneaser as compared with
salaries paid for some other work in civil life.
Management Of a great business like the railroad
business calls for a high degree Of talent, and the man
who possesses that talent and is willing to use it effect
lively is entitled to liberal compensation. AS a rule he
receives such compensation in the field Of private bust
ness. In the government service his reward is not 30
certain.
1t would scarcely do to say off hand that no man in
tho government railway service ought to receive as much
as $4,000 a year. It may be that the character Of SER
vice which he can deliver is worth that to the govern
average OF approximately $4,000 a year are fully earn
ing their pay. but there Is certainly a vast difference. be-
tween the railway service and the other lines Of activity
in which the government is engaged. notably the post
office service. The attention OF The Herald was called
long since to the case OF a man VINO has spent many years
IN the government mail service, who has handled many
branches of it, who is recognized as an expert In his line.
who is in charge of a large station with nearly 100 men
Immediately under his direction, who receives the munif-
icent sum Of $4,000 a year. The same degree of ability
and the same experience in any important enterprise
would demand a salary running away up into the thou
sands and a feature of which complaint Is Justly made
in connection with this service is not that the men in
higher positions are receiving enormous salaries, but. that
many such positions are filled by mediocre men who are
satisfied to do next to nothing for double what their work
is worth. If it could be arranged that in the government
service men in all lines OF work were paid liberal salaries
for the work that they actually perform there would be
no ground for complaint.

usefulness, were undeveloped. They
realized the fact, and unreservedly
confessed their lack. and took hold
honestly and manfully to do healthy
mental work. In an essay written by
one who was a factory hand, he said:
"A strong body, a clear mind, a pure
character make a triune man, which
is the highest expression on earth of
the Triune God" That thought has
ever since been the goal of the Tenn.
pie University. Three men in one
make the completed ideal of the TEN
pie courses of instruction. As soon
as those seven saw the rewards of
victory they entered the battle with
elated hearts. But even then they
builded better than they knew. The
EXTREMIST imagination could not pic.
ture what they accomplished for the
world by honestly laboring to make
the most OF themselves.
The methods which those students
adopted for study were so common

curious ask how it was done. One o
them carried a grammar and ar
arithmetic in his pocket. He studiet

or on the steam railroad train he ha
his book in his hand.
