Virtue of Vacations.
r
Most people will be prompt to agree
with President Tuft when be Bays that
sixty days' vacation Is not too much
for the ptrson who Is under a nerve
racking strain all the refit of the year,
but some of us, much aa we might en
dorse his view, And It a little incon
venient to practice what wo preach.
The .president in his talk did not, of
course, imply that he thought everyone
should talte a sixty-day lay-off every
year; he was referring, chiefly, to
thone under great mental and nervous
strain. People whose occupations
keep them out of doors more or less
of the time, or who are not held down
to sedentary occupations, or places in
volving immense detail and responsi
bilities, can get along on much less
vacation than others, all things being
equal, but even so, it is wholesome for
a person to break away from his ordi
nary pumuit once in a while and take
a little diversion and recreation. It
not only helps to conserve physical and
mental powers and prolong the period
of usefulness, but it aids In keeping
one fresh and happy and, if not over
done, tends to enhance the value of his
or her service.

summers at Buzsard's Bay all hla suc

ital during the heated months. And
It ia simple wisdom, for the duties of a
president are too exacting to hazard
unnecessary risk of Impairing health
or strength. President Taft has been
under aa great a strain as any presi
dent in late years and has earned a
good rest, though at best the period
that he counts as complete freedom
from official cares ia brief, Indeed.
Merging Churches.
Mr. Rockefeller but- voices a popu
lar trend of thought when he advo
cates church mergers. For a long
time unification has been the natural
tendency among religious denomina
tlons and it will undoubtedly be more
so in the future. It is but the logical
working out of the fundamental tenets
of Christianity and la being helped on
by enlightened thought and economic
conditions.
Already we have had much progress
in this movement; the Presbyterians,
Baptlate and Congregatlonalists have
been merging divisions of their de
nominations and the great Methodist
church is following in the same line
There are eleven branches or divisions
of the "Methodists,, with an aggregate
of 1,805, 85 communicants; they have
19,839 churches and 6,388 Vntnlsters.
This gives about one minister only for
every third church and an average
church membership of about ' ninety.
It is difficult tct Justify slight shades of
religious differences that. deny, to two
out of every three organizations a pas
tor or ministerial leader, and it is
equally hard to reconcile the wisdom
of imposing on every ninety communi
cants of any. faith. the burden of main
taining ' a separate church ' establish
ment and organization.
Little flocks struggling to keep up
their entity have been content to Jus
tify themselves in the thought that!
"Where two or three are gathered to-1
gether in My name, there am I In the
midst of them." but the great Pente
costs of, history have done better
where' there were more than two or
three. The world has ever been per
plexed by the problem arising out of
the multiplicity of denominations, to
say nothing of denominations within
denominations.
Cash Value of Graduates.
The head of the New York High
School of Commerce recently addressed
letters to a number of large business
men asking them for some suggestions
as to the fitness of graduates for busi
ness and their value aa employes In
the beginning- The general run of
answers was severely critical in tone,
maintaining that the average graduate
lacked most of the essentials which
business required and was unwilling
to serve a sufficient apprenticeship at
what he was worth. The head of one
large concern valued a graduate at $6
a week to begin with, while another
one went so far as to say, "In my Judg
ment it la Impossible to train a young
man In such a way in a business
school, or in any similar place, that
his services will be worth $15 a week
68 aoon 8 he leaves school."
Thfc.fS are severe strictures on the
popular theory and practice of com
mon and commercial school education
but they must be given some hearing,
for they come from men In active ctfm.1
mercial life who have had experience lng on and will go on for many years
with these graduates. One large flrmlat even greater rate, for better rall-
stated that it did not employ young
men aa clerks and stenographers at all
finding that their minds were else
where than on business, so it pre
ferred young women, as more serious
and more ready to learn.
Inability or unwillingness to inter
pret and follow instruction is one of
the common faults charged against
the young man . Just out of school and
entering business. He is often think
ing more of getting the position than
he ia of working to hold it and rising
higher, giving his employer the worth
of bis money. He may be- honest as
regards not taking what does not be
long to him, hut he is reckless In wast
ing bis employer s time. He comes
out of school too frequently with an
exaggerated Idea of his ewn worth and
so long as this notion stays In bis head
it is difficult, if not Impossible, to get
anything else in it. Kits weakness is
not so much a lack of ability as It Is a'
lack of application.
The blame for this deficiency must
lie back in the school from which the
youth came; with hia instruction and
training. Did bis teacher devote more
time to interest the pupils than to
teach them to exert themselves? Did
the professor gloss over what seemed
a trivial mistake, or an unintentional
shirking of duty, rather than see that
each was taught thoroughly and did
the right thing at the right time?
Thoroughness, punctuality, desire to
learn, are essential elements in busi
ness and they must be inculcated in
the school room, for they constitute to
a large degree the foundation to com
mon honesty and business ability.
Class Passenger Bates.
Report is current that an effort is
to be made on the part of several
western railroads to Introduce class
passenger rates, following somewhat
after the method In vogue in European
countries. This innovation is to be ac
complished by exacting an extra fare
from passengers occupying " sleeping
cars or parlor cars, ostensibly in com
pensation for the use of better and
lees ' crowded coaches. Passengers
would still be able to ride in the ordi
nary cara at the rates now charged or
prescribed by law, but the extra fare
would practically make our ordinary
travel correspond to what Is known
abroad as second class.
It remains to be. seen whether class
passenger rates will prove acceptable
to the American traveling public, even
though Americans who tour foreign
lands put up with them. The nearest
we have had to this system In this
country were the old second class
rates put In for Immigrants and com
mon laborers, who were herded to
gether In decrepit coaches and moved
as If by slow freight. Competition be
tween railroads has more lately been
to give more for the money rather
than to exact more money for extra
service. Pursuant to this plan better
and improved equipment has been pro
vided, faster time made and other in
ducements held out to attract bus!
ness, extra fare being charged only for
extra fast speed on the specials and Urn
lteds devoted exclusively to through
traffic. In the south, where the color
line is drawn, the "Jim Crow" cars
might be regarded as Introducing a
passenger classification. But here the
distinction rests on color and not on
the use of less costly equipment.
Whittled to a point, the proposed
plan to exact extra fare from first
class passengers ia really a scheme to
set around the 3-cent fare laws. If
the railroads could charge an addl
tlonal half cent a mile for carrying
passengers who ride In special coaches,
they would be getting 2 Vt cents a mile
from this part of the traffic, and would
be applying In a new form the old rule
of charging what the. traffic will bear
The real objection ia that passengers
In parlor and sleeping ears are already
paying extra fare to the Pullman com
pany, and if this part of the business
is expensive to the railroads-it 1b for
them to readjust their relations with
the Pullman company and get some
thing more near to their share of the
total revenue.
Chicago and the West.
Chicago claims to have advance In
formation from the censua bureau giv
ing it a population of 2,100,000 -and
making It still the second city in the
United States In size. In 1900 Chi
cago's population was 1,698,575; In
1890 it waa 1.099,850; In 1880. 503,
175; in 1870, 298,997, and In 1840 It
was 4,470. The city, then, has grown
to Its present size In practically sev
enty years, a brief span. Indeed, for
such phenomenal advancement; not as
long as the lifetime of some of its old
est citizens. No other city in the
world can match thia development.
Chicago haa been the second Amer
ican city In eize since 1890, although
as far back as 1870 it was fifth. Then
came the Are in 1871, which prac
tically wiped out the City, and Its rieo
from those ash "with renewed v'nr
and a new spirit Is the real wonder of
Its history. But this growth of Chi
cago la but natural after all. While
it has had the advantage of builders
whose energy and enterprise and far
seeing wisdom have enabled It to
weather every adverse wind, it has
had the greater advantage of geo
graphical location; It has been the
practical hub of the middle west, the
most fertile and productive section of
country In the world and Chicago's
growth Is but the reflex action of the
west's expansion, something that could
not be checked or obstructed. Chi
cago's supremacy, therefore, repre
sents the supremacy of the west.
This growth and development is go-
road facilities and more modern meth
ods of conducting business in general,
together with the government's aid in
opening up new territory to settlement
further west are all factors contribut
ing to the increased greatness of this
queen of commerce thst sits so rua
JeHtical'ly at the mouth of the Great
Lakes, controlling the Appian way of
trade on water and rail.
Chicago is becoming more cosmopol
itan every year. According to the lat
est figures available before the pres
ent census, 2 4 per cent of Its popula
tion was foreign-born and 30,000 were
negroes. But it has assimilated the
races with astonishing success; it has
conquered sanitary problems until to
day its desth rate Is the smallest of
any of the larger cities and it is giv
ing a closer and more intelligent heed
to its civic questions than ever and all
this promises grester progress for the
future. The west rejoices in Chicago's
growth because it reflects the growing
west. ' " ' '
Congressional Representation.
A story is going around depicting
the danger threatening republican as
cendancy In congress as the outgrowth
of the reapportionment of representa
tion to conform to the census of 1910,
which la expected to show a large
per cent of increase In the demo
cratic south as compared with the re
publican New England and 'central
west. The decennial reapportion-!
tuent must talte place either by in
creasing the population ratio for each
congressman or increasing the total
number of members of congress. In
either event it is asserted that what
ever the change it will favor the south
and democracy.
The federal constitution provides
that representation in the lower house
shall be apportioned to the Inhabi
tants of the several states according
to their numbers, and this apportion
ment should be made without regard
to the relative conditions of the
political parties. But the constitution
In another place declares that when
ever any state deprives citizens of the
United ' States of their votes because
of race, color or previous condition of
servitude, their representation shall
be correspondingly reduced. Every
one knows that the southern states,
which have adopted grandfather
clauses and other refinements of suf
frage restrictions, have really disfran
chised the negro because of his color,
and have had no other purpose or in
tent. Strict enforcement of the con
stitutional penalties would largely re
duce the southern, representation in
congress, notwithstanding the popula
tion increase in the south. If the
southern states think it necessary to
their salvation to disfranchise the
negro they should at least be content
with the representation in congress
that really belongs to them and not
claim representation also for the dis
franchised negro. -
The Injustice of this dispropor
tionate representation manifests Itself
not only in congress but in the choice
of the president, because of the over
weighted vote of the southern states
In the electoral college. Each state
is accorded the same number of presl
dentlal electors as it has senators and
members of congress, and the excess
representation of the southern states
in the house likewise gives them unde
served power in the electoral college.
The constitution proclaims the true
principle or representative govern-
toient a' strictly proportional repre
sentation, and the proportion based
on the free exercise of manhood suf
frage without discrimination on race
or color lines.
Maine Calls for Girls.
Comes now the distant little state ot
Maine with a cry for 10,000 girls to
fill Its homes with useful help, accom
panying its call with the assurance
that It will pay the best wages better
than factory and shop will pay.
This may not be a siren voice, but It
Is a vain appeal. Not that we of the
west are unwilling to relieve the dis
tress of any siBter state, but that we
have no more girls than we need and
propose to keep all we have. Catch a
western girl going to Maine, anyway!
This cry comes through the 8tate
Bureau of Industrial Labor Statistics
of Maine. It is an insistent plea,
couched in fervent and Impressive
terms, at least enough so to convince
everyone that Maine needs the girls.
But Maine should have known better.
It should have known that every state
in the union, of which any account has
been made, Is suffering precisely the
same dearth of good girls for house
work. Good wages can be had by
good girls anywhere. . Out here In the
west they are almost too good to suit
the incomes of some of the households
that are paying them the wages, not
the girls. This Is the heyday of the
working girl's opportunity, her harvest
time, and it Is a mighty long harvest.
too. Not only does she get the best
wages almost what she asks out
she gets conditions and limitations
about to her own making.
If there Is - one line of industry
where employment Is going begging
today for want of sufficient supply, It
1b domestic service. One cause of this
is that so many girls have, been de
luded by the silly notion that this sort
of service Is more menial than that In
shop or store or factory. Here again,
we are having to depend heavily npon
the stranger within our gates, from
foreign lands, to help ua out.
Practical Aid to Indians.
Uncle' Sam is showing Poor Lo,
rather than telling him, that he con
aiders him a man very nearly able to
make his own living and provide his
own home. That is the meaning of the
reduction In government rations to the
Indian. The government has Just cut
off $28,000 worth of these rations
but the matter of retrenchment in
finances does not enter into considers
turn at all; the purpose is to teach tb
lUUlIU LUD V. uuv.
which he must learn before he be
comes a useful cititen, and It is useful
citizenship toward which the govern
ment has always been striving as the
ultimate goal.
This Is self-government in a tangi
ble form; it is giving to these wards
of the nation the fullest measure of
independence they are capable of exer
cising. The object is finally to abolish
these gratuities entirely, and that will
be done only when the Indians are all
capable of complete self-support. So
far as the financial side of this ques
tiou is concerned, it cuts little figure.
comparatively, for last year it re
quired, only $412,14 2 to provide ra
tlona for 17,868 Indians.
The Indian problem has been with
us for more than a century, but is
slowly solving itself. The slowness
has been djie to questionable methods,
and it Is doubtful whether all the
damage done will ever be repaired.
Sensitiveness and Selfishness.
Sensitiveness is a form of selfish
ness, though the very sensitive person
would be the last one to admit it. If
a person were not thinking mostly of
self he would not be too sensitive. We
hear the expression, "He carries his
feelings on bis fingers' tips," and it is
a fair description of the person ever
ready to get his feelings hurt.
Sensitive people are never the hap
piest people, nor In it possible for
those around them to be the happiest.
They humor their own whims bo con
stantly, whether consciously or not,
that they grow to demand the same
treatment from others, and when oth
ers, with larger thoughts in their
minds than those of self, fail to yield
this ready obedience to their petty
wills, they brood.
Sensitiveness is not only a sure sign
of selfishness, but of a lack of confi
dence In one's friends. This, too, the
sensitive perBon would be the last to
acknowledge. Sensitive people are gen
erally the ones to prate mostly of their
loyal frlenship and they may be per
fectly sincere, but they simply do not
understand their own characters well
enough to know that perfect confi
dence is not possible in such a nature
as theirs.
There is a vast difference between
what we call sensible and sensitive,
and it Is difficult to Imagine one per
son with both qualities. The one
makes allowance for human foibles,
thinks too much of a friend to believe
that he would knowingly or without
cause hurt his feelings; keeps his mind
off of self, while the other does none
of these things as much as he should.
The one may be liked and desired by
his friends, the other disliked and
shunned.
The world is not more uncharitable
than the average individual, hut it is
usually in a - hurry and has not the
time to give to the person with noth
ing more than a peevish tale of his or
her own afflictions, and it has little
patience with the tale of woe that con
stantly bears false witness against a
neighbor.

And list to the song of the wheel In the

I yearn for the fields with their billowy

T pine for the quiet of wood and dale;
I dream of the patter of silvery rain
And rustle of leaves in the depths of the
vaie.
Oh, give me the seent of the lily and rose;
Oh, give me the hillsides In garments of
green.
And let mine eyes weary at morning un
close ' - '
On pictures of shimmer and prospects of
sheen;
Oh, let me hie back to the fair realms of
peace.
Apart from the struggles and trials and '
strife.
And find In the valleys of rest and release
The fairest and best of the secrets et
life!
The chances of profit, the chances of gold,
The chances of fortune and favor and
fame;
Give these to the seeker who's careless and
bold,
Who Joys in the worrisome fruits of the
i game;
The gold that I seek Is the gold of the sun ;
i ne Day i wouia wear is tne wreatn ox
the blue;
The profit I'd win is the gain that Is won
From love In the valley of Joy that la
true. '
