~ RESIDENT HARDING, speaking to
group of Elks, frankly admits that in
the last few months he has "said
more things without thought than ever be-
fore in his life and the Louisville Courier
Journal unkind}y remarks that this peculiar
ity of he president has not escaped the
notice of the public. AS matter of fact,
however, Mr.. Harding has committed no seri-
Gus plumbers in the tLoughtless observations
to which he has given utterance, and it is
to be doubted whether he ever falls into
serious error concerning any matter of mo-
ment. What the president doubtless meant
to convey in his admission to the Elks was
that he has INDUCED the expression of mean
ingless platitudes on occasions when unpre-
pared to commit himself
AS a matter of fact, the Presidency is an
office of such Importance that it's occupant
should be afforded every opportunity for
reflection before being expected to give ut
terance to any public expression. The Presi-
dent who fails to so arrange his hours of
work and appointments so as to give him
abundant time for reflection is bound to
fin> himself in hot water.
Mr. Tumulty tells us that President Will
son insisted, when he went into the White
House, that he must have time to think, and
eve after|ard the secretary sought to heed
this injunction. He kept people away from
the President as much as possible and taxed
his ingenuity to enable Mr.. Wilson properly
upon them. In consequence, President Will
sons utterances admitted of no double con-
struction and were not susceptible of being
misunderstood. What he said usually rep
resented well considered judgment, formu-
lated after careful examination of the facts.
cat the very best a President can hope
for less time to study each question than it's
merits and Importance require observes
the Montgomery Advertiser. "The truth is
every man in responsible position needs time
to himself He needs to take the facts as
they come to him, go off with LIEN to some
quiet place and digest them. He ought to
do that, whether he is teaching a country
school, running big store, writing book
or sitting in the chair of the Presidency!
Outside suggestions and pressure may be
treacherous to one in responsible place.
They may stimulate his impulse so as to
make him commit himself before he should
Curb-stone oratory, horseback opinions,
snap judgments, as a rule, are far less wor-

he should be sorry for what he has said

his admiration in a statement that has at
tracted wide attention.
Until recently Lord Riddell was the chief
liaison officer of the British delegation, and
it was in this capacity that he expressed

with whom he came in contact He himself

fusion to the American press was doubly ap

Usher, referring to the correspondents 81

better understand their responsibilities or
who were more anxious to be accurate in all
that they wrote
After this pleasing observation to the
newspaper men, Lord Riddell continued:

roads and other companies teaching the peo
pie how to treat their customers. For in

mind by the time the waiter brings it to
you, you say: L didn't order bacon and Eggs.
L want sausages.' And the waiter says
you're right and goes and gets the sausages.
In the old days the customer was generally
told to go to he devil if he didn't like the
thing. But now there is every effort to treat
him with tact and considerations
1t is gratifying that so distinguished a
foreigner as Lord Riddell has observed

PLAY THE GAME
BY H. AddinqtOn Bruce

CLERK in the office of manufacture
~ ing concern writes to remind me that
if, as l recently emphasized, there
are many employees who fail to play fair
with their employers there also are many
employers anything but fair in their treat
ment of their employees.
His own employer he makes very plain,
must be placed in this category. He speaks
of forced overwork in inventory-taking with
out any extra compensation, of surly watch
fulness for minor errors of omission and
commission.
"Do you blame our office fcrce," he de-
mands, "for becoming "a clockwatching
force as you express it? Or do you expect
employees to put their hearts into their
work when they are treated in such shah
by fashion,"
Undenably the employer is singularly
short-sighted who uses the whip of coercion,
the spur of force, in place of the tonic of
praise and reward in his management of
his employees.
He forgets, Just as is forgotten by all
employees who deliberately underworld and
nourish class hatred for their employers, that
like breeds like. He forgets also that the bit
terness which his mismanagement tends to
engender must of itself impair the working
efficiency of his employees
1t is quite conceivable that the nagging
to which he habitually subjects them may
have as ultimate effect such an impairment
of efficiency that the stability of his bust
ness will be endangered. More than one en-
ployer has "grouched' himself into bank
ruptcy.
Nevertheless, my advice to my clerk-cor-
respondent would be to endeavor to fight
down the angry feelings that now possess
him. if only because of their possible dis
astrous effects on his ability as worker.
Any Iessenng by them of his working power
would be to his own injury as well as the
injury of the employer he dislikes
If it is possible for him to find place with
some fairer employer, by all mans let him
do so. And he would be foolish not to keep
his eyes open for a chance to make change.
But meanwhile he should continue to play
the game of business life with all his might
and main. He would do grave hurt to himself
to "let down. to yield to any desire for
getting even"
And it, resisting the Misunderstanding in
fluence that emanates from the unfair en-
to continue to give their BEST it even is pos
sible that a benefcent change might come
over the character of the man for whom they
work.
Certainly, at all events, he would have less
opportunity to call them CURLY to account.
AS such opportunity diminished, appreciation
of the value of praise and reward might
grow upon him.
Nothing, in any case, is to be gained by
the employees through revenge and sabotage.
Always revenge and sabotage are boomerangs
that miss their mark and fly back to the
woundng of those who use them Human ex-
perience through the ages gives proof Of

Mrs. Twaddle was quite in a state of ex-

She had the instrument placed in the same
room as her pet parrot.
The bird was a particularly sagacious
specimen of it's kind, and to test it she
placed on the machine a record that she
had had especially made-"Rocked in the
Cradle of the Deep" as sung by Mr.. Twad-
die in his approved drawing room manner
At the very first note Polly opened her
eyes in surprise and then flew to her perch,
where she rocked herself to and fro in
speechless and deep establishment while the
machine ground out the rest of the tune
"There, Polly" asked Mrs. Twaddle, when
the song had come to an end, what do you
think of that?"

her head on one side, and winking wicked

THE COST. OF LIFE
By DR.. Frank Crane

How much money does it take to live on?
Some time ago the seniors at Goucher Col
ege in Baltimore gave 1o3 answers to this
question.
The average opinion was that young couple
can safely marty and live in the city on an
income of $48 per week.
The eugeniSts have frequently asserted that
the American college girl is a Stacker on mar
rage, and DR.. Guth, the President of the Col
lege, said that he had undertaken this test to
see whether this charge were we'll founded.
He claims that the answers prove that col
1ege girls are not unwilling to marry, and that
they still, as a rule, have a very real aim to
be useful in the home.
"Only six girls" he sad "out of the 1903
gave an estimate of $4,000 or over. their eSti-
mates being $4,000, $4,000, $4,000, $4,000, $4,000
and $4,000. The girl who estimated $4,000
said: Il can't speak for any average couple,
but personally l feel that $4,000 year is a
age of $4,000 said: 1T could be done on $4,000
comfortably, but $4,000 would enable COM
Portable living and allow small savings
"The other extreme is the answer OF girl
with real courage, who said she thought a
young couple could get along satisfactorily and
present neat appearance on $1,000 if they
had a child and on $3.50 without child
"Twenty-four girls made an estimate OF
81 600, twenty-one estimated $500, sixteen es-
timated $1,000, eleven estimated $500, six
s., 400 and four were willing to take chance
On $500 or less"
This may be a satisfactory riposte to the
eugenists' attack upon the younger set, but it
will hardly be conclusive settlement of the
question.
Of all the questions where the answer de-
ponds upon all sorts of fuctuating conditions,
this question of how much it takes to live is
the chief.
For how much it takes to live on, depends
entirely on the liver.
Life is one thing, and station in life is quite
another thing
There have been people who have blown
out their brains because their incomes were
suddenly reduced from 100000 year to $780,
900; while Thoreau managed to get along in
his hut by Walden Pond and turn out a good
deal of excellent philosophy on something like
twenty or thirty cents for six months.
AS matter of fact, the answer to this queS-
ton that was put to the college girls is a
common fraction, if may borrow an idea
from Carlyle. The numerator is what one has,
the denomination is what one thinks he ought
to have, and the value of the fraction is the
numerator divided by the denomination.

q transaction for it's purchase from Russia for

RI tary Falls estimate of Alaskan resources
that the purchase of the frozen territory was
vigorously opposed by large section of the
country when the treaty for its transfer
from Russian to American sovereignty was
under consideration.
The purchase of Alaska, primarily, was
not prompted by pecuniary considerations
There were many very good reasons why
the United States should have acquired the
territory, but Secretary Seward was firmly
of the opinion that the transaction would
prove profitable in a financial sense. His
idea was ridiculed by many people in va
rious parts Of the country, and the purchase
of Alaska was described by it's opponents as
Stewards Folly 1t was folly, they in

But Stewards Folly already has. yielded

The Secretary Of the Interior reckons,
further, that a ten per cent royalty on
oil will net the government two and half

The jealous care with which the develop

and Wilson administrations. especially under
Franklin K Lane, and the genuine evidence
of interest displayed by Secretary Fall,
lends color to the hope that there will be
no widespread spoilation in Alaska, and
that the forest lands will be preserved, as
suggested by the Tribune. 1t is a question
of time only-and a few years, at that
