rHE OBLIGATED MAN.

There is altogether too much stress
placed upon education as an achieve
ment. think of 1t. rather. as piece
OF usefulness.
Abraham Lincoln was a wonderfully
well educated man.
Some one has said that no man is
truly educated until he has under
proper control every voluntary faculty
of his makeup. A man of strong
self-control is always an educated man.
He feels his power.
A vast knowledge OF literature and
events is not vital to a thorcly edu-
Gated man.
TOO much book-iearning clogs a
man. 1t makes him slow and un-
eventful. Big achievers always think
and act in simple terms. The great
reformers of history have almost al
ways been those who went before the
people with few pleas.
The man who is expert in reading
folks hearts. goes further in accom-
plishment than any high degreed stu
dent.
The most useful university of learn
ing in the world is where they teach
consideration.
When Cain asked whether or not he
was his brothers keeper. he put a
question that has rumbled down the
ages. 1t is a fresh today. as then.
To be educated is to know how to
lend a hand-as well as to be kind
and just and strong in the face of
failure and alongside success One
does not begin to live until he has ex-
perienced helping others to live.
know of chap who left fine
position in business to take UP special
work at a college. And when he told
them that he only wanted to select
such studies as he felt would best
equip him for business and that he
intended studying but two years. he
was advised that he could not enter
for degree" The young man re-
piled that he was after useful know
ledge, not degrees. will bank on this
spirit any day in the week.
Education is the art of knowing how
and what to do when the proper time

he died his body was cremated in Oak
land, then the ashes were scattered
from the ridge at his cabin. On this
pyre Gertrude Boyle hopes some day
to place a bust of the poet as a me-
mortal at his real home.
The bust in Rock Creek park will
be deep in the park. but near the road
along which many automobiles and
some pedestrians pass. Close to the
stream, near the cabin, there Is a rus
tic table which Miss Boyle says Is very
like one near the California cabin.
Here picnic parties come regularly
thru the summer months
Rock Creek park is a favorite drive
of motorists in Washington. Every
e7ening steady stream Of cars winds
in and out along the miles of road cut
thru the woodland. The bust OF Joa-
Quin Miller will be the first statue to
&c placed in tie park, and it will be
more conspicuous and attract more in
terest there than it would in Statua-y
hall or the capitol or in one Of the
small city PARKS.
Tributes to Joaquin Miller are now
taken as a matter of course. Unfor-
tunately, most of them have come
just few years too late for him to
have had the satisfaction of knowing
his work was appreciated by his own
people.
He felt deeply the tribute of the
California society. when his cabin was
Placed in Rock Greek park, and he
doubtless wou,1 have been doubly
happy if he could have known that his
statue was to be added to the me-
moral.

The average price of eight leading
steel products on July 9 was $51.61
as compared with ss5.os at the peak
level of last August and $3.50 in
August, 1913. This means that pre-
vailing prices are about Al per cent
above the pre-war level and that the
industry has made considerable prog
ress in returning to a normal level.
Similar price reductions are appearing
in almost every other industry except
that of transportation. When the rail-
roads join the procession and reduce
their rates in conformity with the
general trend we shall see business
booming turnout the country. That
existing rates with the government
tax added are throttling progress
there can be no doubt.

II rents could be brought down to
the relative level of other living costs
wages would decline proportionately.
High rents keep living costs up. and
the high cost of living is the excuse
for not reducing wages. With the ex-
ception of rent, most of the wage
earner's living expenses have declined
considerably. But rents are kept
high by the widespread housing short
age. and building operations to re-
Heve this are retarded by the high
price of building material and the
high level OF wages insisted upon in
the building trades. It might be add
ed that reduction in the cost Of
light. fuel and transportation also
would be an aid in bringing down Ia
Dor costs.

A motor bus line has been estab-

trucks are operating regularly be-

railroads must see the necessity of
reducing rates in order to hold their
business. Their reason for withhold
ing such action is not apparent. The
fate of the Des Moines Street railway
should afford lesson to other trans
portation lines. 1t tried to collect

TEACH THEM OF THE FLAG

TEACH THEM OF THE FLAG.
Teach the children of the Flag,
Let them know the joy 1t holds
In its kissed ripping folds,
Don't let patriotism lag;
Train them SO that they will love
Every star and stripe above.
As you teach their lips to pray,
Teach them always to be true
To the red, the white and blue; =.
Praise the Flag from day to day,
Tell the children at your knee
All the joys of liberty.
Let them know and understand
How the Flag was born and why,
Tell how brave men went to die
Gladly for their native land,
Whisper to them that they must
Make the Flag their sacred trust.
Love of country ever starts
In the home and at your knee.
There the Flag shall come to be
Shrined in patriotic hearts:
They shall gladly serve their land
When they know and understand.

farmers devote all or most of their
time to peanut cultivation. or the

sents the land value and the difference
represents the aggregate of the
amounts invested in implements,
brushing machinery and~other mill
machinery. The peanut yields pea
nut butter, oil, peanut flour, quinine,
forage and a meal which is used in
the process of manufacturing tin
plate. Experiments are being made
with a view to the use of the peanut
in the production of dyes and pea
nut milk for flavoring purposes. This
is one of our infant industries" for
which protection is being demanded.

meet comes from the Orient with

Much ado is being made over a re-
port that a Topeka printing firm ra-
quires it's employees to sign a contract
not to join labor union. The fact
that nobody is compelled to work for
that kind of firm seems to be over
looked. Any concern attempting that
sort OF thing probably soon would find
itself without help. There are too
many of the other kind to make the
plan successful.

Such opposition to a sales tax as
has appeared seems to arise from the
fact that business men favor it. The
average citizen seems to believe that
whatever the business interests favor
is certain to be inimical to his welfare,
never realizing that business can pros
