enables them to draw a handy sum if i'll
at very small per cent. The system
has been In existence for some seven
years and, while it is optional with the
employees, the greater part of them take
advantage of it, owing to its satisfactory
results Then he also told me of the
lunchroOm conducted by the employees,
the room, fixtures, gas and lights being
given by the management, the meals be-

the cost for the lunchroom upkeep. AS

the course were not put into better po-
sitions or materially bettered as to sal

WORK WITH JUNIORS
MOST INTERESTING.
"Then we have conducted classes in
hygiene, business manners with talks on
proper dressing, but perhaps the most
interesting of all is our work with the
juniors, those who are under 16 years."
She told me Of how closely supervised
the young folk were, saying that the
management felt its responsibility for
the jniors, keeping tab on their outside
life their habits and helping them in
every manner possible. Mrs. Mann is

ment Even If / had not thought this
the better course to take morally,
would have taken it exclusively as a mat
ter of good political tactics.
Reasons and facts are the only
weapons which are really effective; abuse
and vituperation never win the support or
approval of thoughtful people, but on the
contrary, disgust thoughtful people In
the end. Abuse and epithet are, after
all. a confession of the weakness or
those who resort to such methods.
RECALLS LEAGUE
CONTROVERSY.
Just as such methods directed to-
wards President Wilson seemed to me to
lee unworthy and foolish, so the same
methods used toward his opponents
seemed to me to be equally unworthy
and foolish. For example in a debate
over the League of Nations. those VINO
thought the plan unwise and therefore
fought it. were dashed with singing
phrases, and branded with scOrnful
labels. Their motives were said to be
mean and base. They were called lire
constable and many other hard names.
"All this means nothing except bad
temper, and it gets nowhere with earnest,
we'll meaning and serious minded men
and women. When a public man takes his
position on any question, let us demand
of him his reasons, and the facts to
support those reasons; and when he
gives them let US not, merely because we
do not agree with him, answer him with
but billingsgate."

There is a quiet hospital room in the
