In this connection 1t may be sug.
gested that, while waiting for the com.

might be done to make 1t possible
for train travellers to identify the

required to see and to read them be-
fore the train has passed. Unless
some industrial establishment is
marked with the name of the place
the traveller never knows that he

Akron, Schenectady or Mauch Chunk.
OF course, 1t Is Of NO vital moment
for the rail traveller to know just

CYRANO'S CRY OF PRIDE
BY GLENN FRANK,
University Of Wisconsin the Century Magazine

Last month thousands of young
men were graduated from the schools
and colleges Of the United States.
They have already entered employ
ment or will, when Autumn comes,
begin their careers in the rough-and-
tumble of business or professional
life.
A thousand counsels Of modesty and
humility have been dinned into their
ears: they have listened to satrical
Skits about the young man who knows
1t ALL
If they have known how to take this
counsel of humility. 1t will be to their
benefit; but there Is another side of the
shield that they should he shown; as
l have said so many times in this
column, modern society is vast con-
spiracy against the individual, seeking
to iron out his insurgencies and to
make him a sleek and subservient
conformlst: in a word, 1t behooves
man to guard his independence of
mind and integrity of spirit.
For this reason. 1 wish that along
with the cOunsels Of humility, there
might be read each year to the
throngs OF young men about to enter
their active careers the immortal
speech OF Cyrano de Bergerac in
Rostand's Incompatible play.
1t Is the individuals declaration of
independence.
Advisers were conseling Cyrano,
poet and individualist, to turn boot
ticker for fame and fortune, painting
for him the perils of non conformity.
What would you have me do?" cries
CyranO.

man,

Ban Johnson Quits the Game.

Resignation Of Byron Bancroft John
son, far better known to a multitude
of Americans as ban" Johnson, as
president Of the American League of
Base Ball Clubs, does not come as
surprise, inasmuch as for several
months there has been a disposition
on the part Of the club owners, the
"magnates" Of the league. to ease the
veteran executive out of his office. 1t
has, however, the elements of drama
inasmuch as on the eve OF the meeting
in New York at which 1t was an
nounced, the head OF the organization
declared th&t he might retire, but he
would never resign. Ill health Is at
tributed as the cause Of the relin.
punishment OF office. and doubtless Ill
health has been the cause Of the &C.
centrlcities that for several seasons
have marked the course OF the league
leader and that have brought about a
desire on the part OF the club owners
for a change.
Ban johnson. organizer Of the Amer
lean League, deserves the highest
praise for his service TO American
sport. He accomplished what was be-
lieved TO be impossible in creating a
circuit OF professional ball clubs in
rivalry to the long Ma.
tional League, which was so firmly in
trenched as to be thought impreg.
nable. He carried the infant competi-
tor along for several years through
sheer pluck and good management.
He stood for a high standard Of game
integrity. lie became the GEAR" OF
his organization. He made enemies
and he fought them, always for the
good OF the game. AS result Of his
cndeayors and services the sport is on

old organization. and base ball has be

been fully as important 10 the worlds
political progress as has been our
own" is the thought expressed by the
Detroit Free Press. as it takes
account of the fact that the 'Don1in-
ion started off with divergent and al
most equal forces, the British and the
French, the Protestant and the Catho-
lie. the progressive and conservative
industrially. the puritan and the lib
eral socially. Disaster easily could
have come from such a comnlingling
of apparently opposite forces. But out
of this heat and pressure has emerged
diamond among nations" concludes
the Free Press.
Laudng the qualities Of the Cana
dams, the New York Sun declares that
''as they review two generations of
productive toll in the garden spot their
virtues have opened for the advantage
of the world, they are entitled to say
that their work has been we'll done
and that the approval they receive
from every civilized land has been we'll
earned" The Port Huron Times
Herald sees Canada as "a great and
wonderful country, with wonderful po-
tentialities and destined to a great fu-
ture," inhabited, as the Salt Lake
Deseret News describes them, by "an
Industrious, progressive and virile peo-
pie" The Helena Montana Record
Herald. in It's tribute, remarks that
the anniversary rounds out three
score years of progress and develop
ment, of building and expansion, Of
growth in population and business, OF
goals gained and ambitions realized,
OF work performed and projects COM
pleted, of ideals attained and problems
solved, of things done to build a pro-

AS to the relations between this
country and Canada there is much re-
JoicinE. Says the Los Angeles Eve
ming Express: only an imaginary
line separates the two peoples. They
have been good neighbors always.
Along the boundary from the Pacific
to the Atlantic is not one fort or one
soldier on guard on either side" The
Fort Worth Record Telegram consid-
ers that the two countries are the
greatest examples in all history of ma
tons living peacefully as neighbors.
with no greater diplomacy than the
simple matter Of liking each other and
respecting each others rights too
much to start the beginnings of n
war, and the Chicago Tribune thinks
1t is a credit to both peoples that
they have such relations as exist"
The Akron Beacon-Journal says they
nave good friends in all the States be-
low their border" and the Springfield
DAILY News points out that this friend
linesS on both sides exists in spite of
the TACT that Canada has faced tre-
mendous competition at the hands of
her southern neighbor, the United
States"
