"Mr. Cdrpenter"' :
YYEARST'S INTERNATIONAL
II is printing serially Upton Sin

YYEARST'S INTERNATIONAL
is printing serially Upton Sin
i 1 clair's latest story bearing the
startling title, "They Call Me Car
penter."
The personality Of the Rabbi of
Nazareth is reproduced in all its
intense but gentle humsnness, its
dramatic morality, its heroic spir-
ituality, its transparent divinity.
During all the Christian CEN
turies, the suggestion has often
been made: eff Christ came back" "
the query being what He would
do under given conditions.
Upton. Sinclair has boldly sum-
moned Jesus to appear and to par
ticipate in the throbbing life of to-
day, in the industrial conflict of an
American city. Of course, the Car
penter espouses the cause of the
poor, the sick and the struggling.
He is as little understood or ac-
cepted as 1000 years ago. He
But read the story for yourself.
You are sure to be interested.
Whether or not you agree with Sin
clair, you are bound at least to ask
yourself whether Christendom, after
the pious professions of 1000 years,
is ready to end the crucifixion of
the Son Of Man and to allow His
spirit an influence on earth even
as a Just and Loving Guide.

Something to Think About
BY FabiO Dean

THE selection Of Augustus
Thomas as director, a..
bitter, dictator, over-lord-or
whatever you choose to dub
his post-of the theater. sug-
gests many thoughts, some
amusing, some serious, but all
interesting.
Following the appointment
Of Judge Lands as baseball
ear and Will Hays as moving
picture imperator, 1t almost
seems as IL the appointment OF
Thomas were the result of a
beneficent contagion. I'm won
dering whether 1t will spread
70 other arts and industries aud
what it will all accomplish.
Will all the oil companies get
together and select a car? or
course. after a fashion, Rookie
feller is sort of car. but he has
not been selected-he inflicted
himself. And then will they have
a czar of the hardware business
and Of cabarets and Of women's
dress goods?

English Justice

yYYHEN Mr.. Taft, of the Su-
wv preme Court, went to Eng
" land it was suggested here
that he might return to tell Amer
lean lawyers and judges something
about the swift justice that honors
England's judicial system.
Sure enough, Mr.. Taft is back,
and he tells the lawyers and judges
Of America that they have great
deal to learn from English justice.
In England, if you have just
claim against big railroad for
$40 you can bring suit profitably,
get judgment, get your money and
have something left over.
Can you imagine doing that in
the United States. First, no law
yer would look at you for $40. In
the second place, the judges rep
resentative would hand you a bill
Of costs that would make you wish
you had never sued a railroad. And
in the third place, the railroad
would appeal and appeal until you
were about ready to be buried.
Slow justice is a disgrace to the
United States. But it is profitable
on the whole to the lawyers, and
this country's a Government made
up 80 per cent of lawyers. That is
the explanation. .

Define 1t
M R. CARRY, pew president Of
W the. Pullman Sleeping Car


- Company, runs newspaper,
the Pullman News, to let the en-
ployes know what the company is
trying to do, and to keep the man
agement in touch with the workers.
In the latest issue you see con-
test with prizes offered to Pullman
conductors and porters for the best
definition of the word COURTESY.
What would be YOUR definitioni
You might say offhand that the
Golden Rule defines courtesy. "Do
unto others as you would that they
should do unto you" Or you might
say that
Real courtesy separates men from
the brutes. And when it is lacking,
men go back in manners to the
state of brutes. ~. ~.
When hogs are hurrying toward
the trough to eat, you never see
one step aside to let an old, feeble
or a lady-pig go ahead.
Similarly when they are taken
out of the pen to march up and
have their throats cut, you never
see one offer to 60 ahead and take
the place of the other.
Courtesy is self-sacrifice in the
interest of self,respect. s
Courtesy pays. 1t is to human
life what oil is to an automobile or
any other engine. Many men are
worn away, in nerves and mind, for
lack of little courtesy that, like
oil, would have prevented friction.
Men fail in business because cour-
tesy is not in them. Many men have
owed 80 per cent of their success
to courtesy, real and ALWAYS
RECOGNIZED.
Here are the definitions and the
names of the prize winners in the
Pullman Company courtesy contest:
e First prize, $50. Won by Porter
Thomas j. Pickett, st. Louis:
Courtesy consists of giving those
we meet such considerate attention
that their every want will be salts
fled, and they will realize the at
tention is due to real interest in
their comfort.
Second prize, $35. Won by Con-
ductor w. F. Lawler, Denver:
Courtesy is the spirit and essence
of service; kindness and good will.
The CHEEKY word, the friendly smile,
the helping hand-these are its
handmaidens. 1t is born of a gen.
tie mind fostered by tact.
Third prize, SIS. Won by Porter
w. A. Hill, Cincinnati:
Do all the good you can, to all
the people you can, whenever you
can and as promptly and politely
as you can.
