Menace of the Muckrake. .
Francis J. Heney atated in a speech
at the recent conservation congress
that James J. Hill, through his Great
Northern railroad, had profited enor
mously at the hands of the govern
ment, explaining:
We save' to Mr. Hill SO.OOO.OWJ acree of
land, 2,000 miles Ions, forty miles In width,
through, territories and twenty mllee wide
through states. This was worth tlO an
acre.
It was not necessary for Mr. Hill to
make bis denial of the whole state
ment and declare that "the Great
Northern never received one dollar or
one acre of land from the general gov
ernment," for people who v are in
formed of the facts as they are
recorded In history know that this Is
true. They know that the Great
Northern is distinguished among
transcontinental lines as one that
never obtained a penny in land grant
or subsidy from the government, and
the astonishing fact is that Mr. Heney,
a man whose fame rests chiefly upon
his career as the prosecutor of land
grafters in the great northwest tra
versed by Mr. Hill's railroads, should
not have known this. It almost
passes comprehension.
Mr. Heney, however, has admitted
his error and his only excuse, is that
he read a certain magazine too closely.
Of course, this is no excuse. A man
of Mr. Heney's reputation and Influ
ence certainly ought to be more solici
tous as to the facts before he makes
such a statement In the presence of
such ft-gatherlng as that at St. Paul.
His carelessness might impugn his
motives. ,
But the point of this whole thing Is
the utter indifference, the reckless dis
regard of truth and facts, even of mat
ters of record, which characterizes
some of the individuals who are writ
ing most of the material that goes into
a certain class of present-day maga
zines. They have arrogated to them
selves a peculiar wisdom and have had
no difficulty in finding people ready to
believe everything they say. It Is Im
possible to measure or estimate the
evil of such influences. If there Cver
was a time when the, truth Is needed
In public print it is today. This cheap
class of writers and their literature is
one of the bans of the "new era" about
which they prate so glibly. It is quite
likely, however, that the person who
misled Heney and thousands of others
by this malicious or ignorant utter
ance will go on performing as one of
the stars In this firmament of muck
raking reformers.
Japan . has permitted Korea to call
itself that, but "It ain't."
today Christianity actually ranks as
the third religion . In the Flowery
Kingdom.
But Japan never gave itself over so
much to ancestor worship as did
Korea. The upper Classes In Korea
seized upon this, but the popular re
ligion, that adopted and generally
practiced by the lower strata In Korea,
is known as 8bamanlstlc, characterized
by sorcery and animal worship and
various other forms of superstition.
Christianity, which entered the Hermit
Kingdom in 1776 through the Jesuit
missionaries, has not made as great
advancement as In Javan.
When we learn, however, that the
Japanese, too, have sent special envoys
to the various tombs of dynastic lords
with the news of Korea's annexation
we can understand that with all the
Influence of occidental education and
commerce and Christian teaching old
Buddha still has some power left In
the orient. We might remember this
when we get to rhapsodizing about the
Americanization of Japan, China and
Korea.

The Scholar in Politics.
Dr. Woodrow Wilson, the distin
guished president of Princetom univer
sity, whom the democrats of New Jer
sey have nominated for governor,
gives a hint of what is to be ex
pected of the "scholar in politics" in
declaring that "the playing of politics
Is to be deprecated." He will find a
hearty' response to his sentiments from
a large proportion of good citizens,
but he will also find many ready to
doubt his ability to readjust the rules
of the game so as to prevent this
"playing of politics" forthwith. It Is
something that will require much time
even for efforts as efficient as his.
Dr. Wilson is yet to make the race
for governor. Doubtless at some angle
In his campaign he will rub elbows
with the practical politician. It will
be very strange if some of his mana
gers and helpers are not practical pol-
iticans. If so, then Dr. Wilson will
at once have the opportunity of elimi
nating the playing of politics in his
behalf. No one doubts his sincerity
When he says he deprecates the play
ing of politics, the country accepts his
word and believes that he does. But
that is very different from believing
In the ability of Dr. Wilson to put his
theories Into operation without great
difficulty and much time.
' Of course, the doctor was not very
specific in what he meant by playing
politics.' It may be his definition is
wide enough to Include some very use
ful politics, but if he should be elected
governor, of New Jersey It probably
will be because some astute politicians
in his party have outplayed some as
tute politicians in the republican party
at the great game of poltlcs, and, how-
self-perpetuatlon was impossible. Yet
their experience Is not without Inter
est to the student of sociology, and
may not be regarded entirely as a fail
ure, because It does afford some addi
tional proof of man's social limitations.
Present Unrest.
Cardinal Gibbons is right In con
tending that extravagance plays a large
part in the social unrest of the present
day. He is right in declaring that
many people are living beyond their
means and would be both happier and
more contented If they did not. He
is also right In saying that much of
what is called pleasure and comfort
could well be sacrificed to the better
end of sober industry and patient sim
plicity. But this spirit of unrest when ap
plied to Industry, when applied to the
relations between employer and em
ploye, is totally a different thing, and
It Is not sin Itself an evil thing. No
one needs to be told mat the spirit of
social discontent Is today, has always
been, one of the leavens of civiliza
tion; one of the greatest Influences
for the promotion of industrial peace
and prosperity. While we are curb
ing our appetites ana educating our
selves to live more in accordance with
our circumstances, we may well afford
to nourish this spirit of unrest or dis
content to legitimate degrees in the
sphere of labor and industry. It Is not
time yet to undertake to stifle that
spirit. Neither the employer nor the
employe could afford It. So long as
industry depends so largely upon the
well-directed skill of the Intelligent
workman, bo long must the spirit of
unrest survive. It will be a bad day
for industry when labor reaches the
goal of complete satisfaction, when It
sees or desires no. means of advance
ment. We may well hope to be spared
from such a time. We do not believe
it will ever come, certainly not so long
as many of the greatest economicben
eflts can be ascribed to this spirit of
unrest.
But unrest must not mean lack of
control; it must never approach the
form of anarchy. To do the good
work that it has done it must rest
upon an honest purpose of mutual ag
grandizement between employer and
employe. For that reason it must be
held within proper restrictions.
Boston baked beans have made the
graceful, self-controlled Turk the su
peror of the nervous, lank New Eng
lander" Is a sertoue one.
We think the doctor would have
some serious difficulty In proving his
charge. There Is not a race on the
globe today that ran equal, let alone
surpass, the American in physical and
Intellectual exploits, we do not care
what K eats. So far as our eating
goes we are giving the same intelli
gence to that as to everything else.
One might easily fear that the doctor
Is unduly alarmed, for, in the first
place, not even all the people of Boston
or New England are confining their
diet to mince pie and baked beans. We
know this, because we have shipped a
few trainloads of Nebraska corn-feds
Into that country in the last few years.
The "scholar In politics" Is now go
ing to have a chance for a real trial.
In the event Woodrow Wilson should
be chosen governor for New Jersey his
career as an executive will be watched
with great interest and some concern,
especially by those reformers who
have determined that the busineFS man
In politics Is not only a failure, but a
menace. And yet the consensus, of
opinion among economists Is that the
administration of gosvernmental affairs
Is essentially business, and should,
therefore, be In the hands of trained
business men. The "scholar in poll
tics" Is not a novelty, but the ndvent
of Dr. Wilson may bring about some
thing of innovation in New Jersey
methods, where there Is unquestiona
bly ample room for Improvement.

for. Then In this case, at least, the
elimination of the tip seems to be both
safe and profitable. Evidently it Is
possible to get all the "help" neces
sary to keep the Institution going.
Yet, Englishmen, Americans peo
ple everywhere are asking if hotels
and cafes could be conducted without
the tipping system. They could and
will whenever their proprietors and
patrons get rid of a certain species of
vanity. The tip represents graft on
the one hand and vanity, or, perhaps,
cowardice, on the other. It would
have more to commend it If it was
given for extra service, or for special
privilege. But, as a rule, it Is not.
It is given simply because it is the cus
tom. The average man knows very
well that In the average cafe he does
not leave bis small change on the ta
ble because he has been excellently
served; he leaves It there because the
man before him did and because he
would be shabbily regarded if he did
not. The fact that he cannot afford

any more than does the-, fact that he
probably has already paid more for the
meal than it was worth.
And still, the patron alone can
never extricate himself from the
clutches of this pernicious evil without
the aid of the proprietor, and so long
as the patron will help the proprietor
pay his "help" In this cheap way, the
"aid" is not going to be rendered by
the proprietor. It is the same ou din

the public Is to be served. The whole

Korea and Iti Spirits.

mikado has undertaken a man's job In
the Hermit Kingdom. He will find
the work of modernising Korea ample
for his sturdy efforts. But one may
imagine that Japan's first plan of re
form will not have to do with Korea's
religious belief. Japan itself still
holds to Buddhism, as a people, not
a nation. It derived Buddhism from
Korea through China In 661 and re
tained It as the national form of wor
ship until 1871, when the government
disestablished It and In 1874 disen
dowed It. Since that time It haa had
no organised, nationalised religion
though most ot the people are yet
Buddhists and so rapid haa been the
process of change ta late years that
Success or Failure t
Word comes from Kentucky that a
colony of Shakers Is about to go out of
existence. Its affalrswlll be wound
up, its property holdings distributed
and another experiment In Ideal com
munal life will have been brought to a
close. Whether it is to be considered
a success or a failure depends entirely
on the viewpoint.
If It be taken merely as an effort to
establish an Ideal life it will probably
be regarded as a failure. In this re
spect it has proven that humanity is
not yet reaay to accept the doctrine of
service to others as its code. Service
to self Is still the dominant note In
man's life, no matter how prettily it
may be dlBgulsed. This element of
human selfishness has been the great
obstacle in the way of man's reforms.
Until human nature can be changed so
that the Golden Rule will operate au
tomatically there is little hope for
success of endeavors such as this put
forth by the Shakers.
If, however, the Shaker colony is to
be considered from the point of mere
material gain It has proven successful
beyond doubt. The simple-minded
men and women associated together
for a common purpose have shown
what great results In the way of .de
veloping property and accumulating
wealth may flow from co-operation.
The world did not need this additional
proof of a thoroughly established
maxim, and so the service rendered in
this regard has small value.
The Shakers go out of existence be
cause the colony lacked the quality of
self-perpetuation. It was founded, as
have been many other similar organ
nations, on a very narrow religious
creed whose limitations withheld Its
members from communication with
the world and prevented them from
taking part in the general progress of
humanity. It was this that eliminated
the chance of life to the community,
because the sect could not attract
enough membership to overcome the
Inroads of death, and thus Insure ita
perpetuity. Even the Dunkard com
munities, where marriage Is permit
ted, have failed because the children
growing up were net willing to follow
in the footsteps of their parents, and
with the Shakers pledged to celibacy
A Practical School Lesson.
Now that school has got fairly Well
under way and the pupils know where
their seats and books and lessons are,
we want to suggest to them this one
thought: Learn to crowd your work,
never let it crowd you.
Work is poorly done when It must
be' done In part time. Unless you get
today's lessons today, you may never
get them, for tomorrow you have to
morrow's lessons and failing to get to
day's not only makes them harder for
you to catch up with, but places you
at a great disadvantage in getting to
morrow's, for one is but a continuation
of the other.
Unless you are master of your work,
it will master you,, and then you arejthe Outlook Mr. Rcoseveit's.
in grave danger of failing. The ma
jority of failures In school are due, not
to mental deficiency, but rather to
mental laziness or Indifference or care
lessness. The boy or girl who attends
school regularly and studies regularly
Is likely to get along fairly well In his
or her lessons, but the great difficulty
is that too many boys and girls do 'not
observe this routine. They allow play or
something else beside their classroom
work, to divert their minds and the re
sult is they make school a hard task
to be performed, whereas they should
make It a work of love to be desired.
Teachers know all this, but teachers
have a hard time Impressing It some
times on their pupils' minds for the
very reason that too many . parents
either have never given it a thought,
or thinking, have not taken the time
to help the teache'r impress it on the
child. Parents should make it their
business to make the child see that the
business of the school season is schoo!
and not play, that play Is simply a
diversion during that period.

Thro' nature's balm and magic toll
Green banners now display,
And, tossing In the bluffy cup,
Or on the prairie vast,
The breese lent an eerie trump
AjblltiiHome note to cast
A smoky blue is in the sky;
No token skims of rain
Despite the bobwhite's misty cry
Kur down the cattle lane;
Yet round these roots are loamy wells
To moist the awelling ears
The myriad founts of crests and dells,
t'nrulcd by wands of seers.
Tassels rcsplendently ax learn
With fruitful glfta of down.
Pennons which Chinese festoons seem,
Their marges faintest brown;
Hilks, like fairy tresses, show
Beneath the glossy plumes,
A wilderness alert, aglow
In August's flashing looms.

We are not here to hold a brief for
Boston or Its baked beans and mince
pie, but we propose to take issue with
Dr. Fenton B. Turck of Chicago, who,
at the meeting ot the Mississippi Val
ley Medical association in Detroit, has
held up the Turks as superior In manly
force to our own cultured, bean-fed
Bostonlans. It is an aspersion on the
Alpha and Omega of American man
hood and a vicious and wanton assault
on roan's most naturVl and nutritious
food. One might suspect that Dr.
Turck had been twitted about his
name and took this means of getting
back. But he should not be allowed
to escape the penalty of derision even
for that.
No man may with Impunity stand
before an American assemblage, and
hold up the sleek, olive oil-drenched
son of the sultan as superior either In
Intellect or physical force to native
Bostonlans. The list of Intellectual
giants Is too long and too well known
to repeat bere, but let us simply re
mind this pragmatic doctor that the
Hon. John L. Sultvan was born and
reared in Boston. We fancy, if cor

his comparison on a physical baBls

At present Indications the cereal crops
will contribute not far from 6.000.000,000
bushels to the country's gross agricultural
Income. The United States have never had
an equally good oata crop, and but once
before so large a corn crop aa is now prom
ised with no heavy frost up to th middle
of the month. Our wheat yield this year
is barely a ten-year average, and a show
ing of 67.000,000 bushels below that of I'M)
looks rather meager for a population of
over DO.OuO.OOO people. But the average of
the two crops of 1909 and 1H10 exceeds 700,
OU0.0O0 bushels. A consumption of an- av
erage of six bushels a head would require
640,000,000 bushels, thus leaving an average
of 100,000,000 bushels for reserve, seed and
export. Although that does not afford a
large margin, It dues relieve the country
of anxiety as to its year's bread supply.
