Have You This Habit
BY Margaret Morrison
JOHN BALL

John BALL crept out Of the doctors
y office more dazed than alive. "A
years rest and dry climate as long
as you live," had been the verdict. 1t
meant that he was shelved--deflnitel
shelved-at thirty-five. What could q
man do with his free will reduced to
that extent? John Ball had come
across several poor devils handicapped
In one way or another, and he knew
what disqualifications meant In the
modern race. One acquaintance Of his
he had always thought Of as the man
with a plucky wife: John Ball had
seen business thrown his way as one
throws scraps to an animal. Another
"a friend-had tried to substitute SO
cial gifts for brains, and Ball had
watched him gradually slipping, slip
ping, slipping behind. Then there was
the plucky soul who always lost sew
eral months q year through illness, and
who, when he was working shaved
twice as hard as other men just to
keep abreast of the last. 1t was to tho
ranks of these, drudging hopelessly
knew he had been relegated.
In the station on his way to his
home in the suburbs to break the news
to his family. he stopped, through
sheer custom, to buy newspaper. Be
fore the stand, which was as big ab
any in the station, stood a st0cky chap
of thirty. The paper man knew Ball's
voice and at the familiar Evening
Daily, please" he sang out eyes, sir
as pleasantly and instantaneously an
ever. When he turned with the right
sheet in his hand Ball read, with
fresh vision, that II am blind" sign
across his coat. There had been no
hesitating. no fumbling, and, on tha
other hand. kind Of professional
pride that was good to see
In spite Of his preoccupation Bah
paused for a minute and watched
Someone asked for paper of the das
before and the blind man had to stoOD
and search with his sensitive fingers
through piles done up ready to re-
turn TO the dealer. But he found
unerringly the right one; and then,
with the accented motion that avoides1
mistake, he counted out the correct
change. Suddenly John Ball knew
that such technique had been learned /;
that it had taken time and pluck; and
that 1t had met with a success, not rel
ative and in consideration of the cif>
cumstances, but absolute and competk-
tive. Like another good soldier, thi1
man must have asked "Shall perform
day labor, light denied" and haye
found his answer in the affirmative.
AS John Ball turned away he knew
that he. too, must acquire the habit d
all good workmen Of using. and NOT
complaining of, their tools.
HAVE YOU THIS HABIT?

9 Atlantic City.-At the request of
President Jewell and associate Off
GERS of the A. F. of L. railway en-
ployes' department, several Of the
larger transportation systems will
extend every facility to visiting Ger
man trade unionists to study the
working conditions of men employed
by these carriers.
The German unionists have divided
into groups and will be assisted by
officers of American trade unions of
similar trades and callings as those
followed by the visitors.
The railway section of the German
delegation will travel as far west as
Council Bluffs and Omaha. The cities
to be visited will include Cincinnati,
indianapolis, st. Louis, Kansas City,
Chicago, Detroit, Cleveland, Buffalo
and New York.

Marshall went on to say that there
are yet great problems shat ought to
be looked after by the people them
selves" Through all this comment
there runs vein of regret that gov
ernment is slipping away from the
people.
"Aad the people have interest in
these things" runs his comment, "but
they think they have no longer con-
troll over them"
There is tremendous pathos and
tragedy in those words, for they ring
with truth. When a people begins to
give up possession of its most cher
ished rights and duties, then things
are going wrong.
When people looks hopelessly at
the slipping away of those rights and
duties, then there is something to
ponder about.
Into the quicksand of Capitalization
Marshall saw them going. He was
not given to seeing unrealities. He
saw with the eye Of the great multi
tudes who stand on the shadowy sky
inc of our public life, for whom gov
ernment exists, but who are forget
ting how to govern.
Leaving aside the great wealth of
philosophy and anecdote and precept
Tom Marshall's memoirs are worth
while just for this one bit of essential
wisdom.

MORE MILLIONAIRES

Washington.-Official statistics of
income given out by the treasury de-
partment show that millionaires in
this country increased in 1928 over
1922. There were IA persons who had
net income of $1,000,000 or more
during 1923. This is gain of seven

The greatest number of millionaires
were in the war years of 1916, with
206, and 1917, with 161. The lowest
was in the defation year of 1921,
when the number dropped to 21.
In the following year the number
jumped to 67, and the latest returns
show "a for 1923.

TELEGRAPHERS DAY
OF REST is UPHELD

Chicago The railroad labor board
has awarded telegraph employees of
the ST. Louis Terminal Company one
days rest in ID, with time and one
half for work on the rest day. The
penalty clause is new precedent in
the working rules of telegraph service
employees.
The board intervened in contro-
versy between telegraphers and the
Atlantic Coast Line after President
Manion, Of the Order of Railroad
Telegraphers informed the board that
nothing short of personal investi-
cation of conditions by the board
could be fruitful of any results
The board assigned several of its
members to proceed to Wilmington,
N. c., and begin an investigation OF
conditions on that system.

The Cherry
{" Where with our
roo Little Hatchet
we tell the truth
about many things, sometimes pro-
foundly, sometimes flippantly,
sometimes recklessly.

The late Tom Marshall, one of the
most kindly, courageous and sympa-
thetic men we have ever had in pub
lie life, and one of the truest demo-
Gratis, wrote his memoirs before he
died, and for this Americans ought to
be deeply grateful.
Those in whose veins there runs
stream of human sympathy and
neighborliness ought to read Tom
Marshall's life story. 1t is doubtful
whether the highbrow outfit of the
Algonquin Club in New York would
approve of the book as literary out
put, but there is everywhere some
thing of veneration for Indiana writ
ing and it might pass muster in the
holy of holies on that score.
But be that as it may, here is a
story that revives faith in human
kind.
Here is the story of a man who
never pretended to be great He was
genuinely humble, which is much diff
ferent from the mask of humbleness
which is worn by many who have no
notion of being humble.
Marshall had love for human be-
ings and he seemed always at home
with human beings, though he laugh
ed frankly at kings and other manni-
kins great many times. Somehow,
his quiet wisdom and native shrewd-
ness cut through gold braid and sham.
When Marshall was vice president
he did a good deal Of laughing at his
job. That is, he didn't try to pretend
that he was an exalted parsonage
just because he was vice president.
**
This man who was governor of his
state-and kindly governors
well as vice president, had a pas
sion for democracy. He had a great
faith in the masses of the people.
He believed in local self-govern-
ment as against long range self-gov-
ernment which so soon becomes bu-
reaucracy and ceases to be self-go
ernment. He stood with Samuel Com
pers in fearing great overly
lied ponderosity at Washington.
Nothing" he wrote, sis SO likely
to undermine the republic as this fast
disappearance of the doctrine of loca
self-government" What a clear fasl
Of warning that is in these days wher
big politicians want to heap every
thing up in Washington

NO TEACHERS UNIFORM

! New York.-Board of education

the Chicago idea that public school
teachers wear a distinctive garb.
Superintendent McAndrews, of the
Chicago public schools, is the author
of the plan. Teachers sarcastically
suggest that they be numbered.

mo wonder Secretary Hoover does
not advocate the reduction of wages
and standards Of living, when he sees
the benefits that have in small de-
gree already come through partial
adoption of his program for the elm

waste during 1921, Secretary Hoover
pointed out that there existed a pre-
ventable waste of $4,000, ,O0O, 900 an

to equal all federal, state and munich
