"The way to get money is to work for It," says an old-fashioned business man. -He would have a nice time Im pressing that on several Illinois legis lators. V The Boston Herald, in commenting on Chicago's growth, says "It ia the metropolis of the west." Then Bos ton has found out that there la a west further away than the eastern bound ary of New York. Possibly this came to It when Omaha rose up as its com petitor in the wool business. Now, the country Is to witness a lay' Woman's missionary movement, on the same general plan of the layman's movement, which came to such a fruitful culmination last winter. These are the signs of the times that denote a militant Christianity, and say to the pulpit, "Come on, for the pew is ready." The Louisville Courier-Journal speaks of William . Archer, "who re cently looked out a car window and wrote a book on 'Through Afro America.' " We have too many of these skin-deep experts writing books and articles in cheap magazines today for the good of the world that is seek ing the truth. But It seems to pay.

The Mi i6i on of America, In his speech at the Omaha Field club Theodore Roosevelt said that In his travels through Europe he found the subject of chief interest among all people to be America and its mission to the world. The eyes of every nation are tamed toward this one, to see whether it is going to fall or succeed. The op pressed of every nation are looking to America as the hope of their relief and wishing It success. The reactionaries among the ruling classes hope It will fall, for If It does not their system of government must. And Colonel Roosevelt declared that If America does fail In this great universal mis sion, then the c.use of mankind would be retarded for many years. Cardinal Vannutelll, the papal le gate, while In Omaha declared Amer ica to be the real leader of the nations, and that as went America, so goes much of the world. America leads. others follow. In the leadership of America he beholds the hope of man kind and he expressed the fervent hope that America would not fall. This great thought expressed by two great thinkers, one the representative of the peerless republic itself, the other from imperial Europe, ought to be taken up by Americans everywhere In sober earnestness. It ought to Im press them, those in high station or low, with the solemn rights and duties and responsibilities of sovereign citi zenship. It is one of the biggest thoughts before them and before the world today. We are prone to vaunt our national greatness and say we know no such thing aa failure. But failure may know us and may come to us whenever we cease to realize the mission of America or falter in follow ing out the performance of that mission. Today the test suggested by Colonel Roosevelt is before this country. There is one way to meet it, and that is by finding out the right and doing it. That right is not to be found in civil strife or internal dissension; not to be found in social dereliction or po litical corruption; not to be found In the system of money power in politics; not to be found in class legislation nor in the bigotry of religious intolerance, Of this last there Is little danger, for we as a people and a nation have fought out with ourselves the question of religious as well as civil liberty. But there is danger to be apprehended in some of the other aspects of the question. We may as easily avoid that danger, however, as we did that of ecclesiastical intolerance. Any citizen of America who does not see in this great mission a per sonal responsibility does not compre hend Its import. It is well that Theo dore Roosevelt, and Cardinal Vannu telll have helped us to see the truth and we believe with His Eminence that America will not fail,, that It will meet the test and give to those oppressed of other nations In their struggle for liberty, the powerful in ftuence of its example for which they look and which they need, and that it will fulfill its part as the hope of man- kind in working out the destiny of the t race and teaching oppressive rulers that they must give up their code of ethics and annul every statute that does not rest upon the basic principle of all law and American Justice "the greatest good to the greatest number." Vocational Training ine traae scnooi is not a new or untried venture. It has been tested for a number of years abroad and has thoroughly proven its efficiency. That it has not yet been more generally adopted in the United States, and made a part of our public school system, Is not especially to our credit. The neg lect of thla Important branch of edu catlonal endeavor may perhaDa be ascribed to the happy-go-lucky habit of Americans In choosing vocation by I chance rather than by purpose. The time haa come to us when we can no longer neglect the very essen tial work of training boys and girls along lines that will be In the direction of their life work. It ia not proposed to abandon any of the fundamentals of education for the purpose of providing this supplementary training. The vocational school will provide ample instruction in the useful branches of learning, and In addition will furnish knowledge of applied mechanics or do mestic science to those who most need them, so that when the children come to leave school and go out to become wage earners they will already have a start along lines that will render them useful from the very beginning of their active life In the world. Nor is it In tended that thla vocational training shall operate In any way to close the!went 'urther lno details: "But. not way to higher education. The boy or girl who is ambitious to achieve the heights of learning may still do so through the medium of the public school The question to be determined Is when the vocational training shall be- : gln- Experience haa proven that a Iarge Percentage of the children at- tending public schools do not advance beyond the seventh or eighth grades. This would seem to indicate that here out of school after they have finished the grammar grades get no benefit whatever from the manual training provided in the high school, and they re rt-auy ine ones it Is desired to reach by vocational training. Bo the system, if it is to be adopted, should be so adjusted that it will come la with the instruction that ia now afforded the last two years of the grade schools and before the high school period begins. It is also essential that this voca tional training be afforded in connec tion with the public school system and not as a private charge. Under pri vate control the pupil is open to the Injustice of private exploitation, and our educational system should be so arranged aa to furnish the greatest possible liberty of choice to the Indi vidual along with the most thorough training in the fundamentals of both mental and manual usefulness. We Are Getting Healthier. Official reports that the death rate in the United States for the last year was the lowest in the history of the country must prove the results of this vast campaign against, disease that ia being waged by city, state and nation, systematically and with scientific di rection. It Is the, fruit of the anti tuberculosis warfare, the pure food laws, the general legislation for im proving sanitary conditions and laws conserving the health of factory em ployes, affording them shorter hours and better conditions of labor. It Is most gratifying to be able to note such splendid tangible evidence that we, as a people, are on the right track; that we are not blindly pursuing an empty trail. And the federal government has only begun to take up this work. The president has urged upon congress the importance of establishing a depart ment of healtn, and in all probability It will follow out his recommendations very soon. This department will oversee and direct all the organized agencies for Improving health and will add tremendously to the effective in fluence of all of them. Certainly this is practical work for a government to do, practical for a city or a state to do. It is a work of conservation in which all men may en gage with equal Interest. It Is a benefi cent government that undertakes such a. work upon bo elaborate and scientific a scale. It beats all the quack nostrums of .political and social reform that ambitious Individuals may advocate. Improving the man's physical condition is only another way of helping him to Improve his social and political condition. Vice is not necessarily Indigenous to a delicate body, but the cheerfulness of a well- ordered physique has its moral effect. Old and New Church Muiic. At last one of the great evangelical churches has discarded the old mis sionary hymn, "From Greenland's Icy Mountains," from its latest hymnal. Yet paradoxical as this may seem, It yet Is scarcely more radical than the embargo long ago levied upon other old hymns of similar fitness and In spiring power. Gradually the church ia supplanting the old time hymns with new songs and a atyle of music that is called classic anthems, sung ry paid sing ers. But who that has felt the in spiration of "From Greenland's Icy Mountains to India's Coral Strand" will deny that Its words and its music are not typically missionary and most suited for use in this age of aggressive missionary enterprise? Instead of dis carding this old slogan of religious propaganda It would seem that the church would be devising ways of in creasing Its popularity, for what bet ter expresses, or could better express, the spirit of the missionary zeal that bas today crystallized into the "for ward movement" than this old hymn? There has always been a question as to the superiority of latter-day church music over that of the yesterdays. For deep piety and soul-stirring expression It is seriously to be doubted if the new can half compare with the old. There was a depth of meaning In those old songs, which some of the newer ones do not possess, and as to the popular solo of today, while it may afford facility for the display of vocal gym nastics and facial contortions, In too many cases.it falls, to make much im pression oq the congregation. Words ar swallowed in sound and the spirit of the piece sacrificed to the ambition of the singer. It will not be long until the Doxology will be as strange in all churches aa it Is in some if the present tendency keeps up. The Ego and the Garment "As costly thy habit as thy purse can buy," said sage Polonlus In bidding farewell to budding Laertes, who was about to set forth on a Joarney from Elsloore to Parla, even then the gay capital of the world's frivolities. Then Polonlus, garrulous old greybeard, j expressed in fancy. Kicn, not sauuy."' he continued, "for the apparel oft pro claims the man." And. as In Shakea peare'a day, so even now, "fine feath ers do not make fine birds," while the apparel oft proclaims the individual. But now cornea a Chicago man with the proclamation . that the garment should be cut to fit the individuality of its wearer. The clothes of the future are to en press character. Instead of my lady being hobbled because some quidnunc In a dressmaking establish ment haa declared this to be the fash- Ion, she will determine what particu lar cast her ego most affects, and her gown anal! be cut to suit. Thus we are to have a reform In feminine tog gery, at least The fair young thing' with soulful yearnings, the madonna! m.'ltti Mm,A . w - I w.vm wei wwwi uiviiiri i.vr, ia ma tron of Junoesque proportions and an eye upon the ballot, and th good natured girl of any age, whoae mission la life la to banish worry and drive dull cars Into a dark corner, will no longer be uniformed according to the dictates 6f an arbitrary fashion. They will. In fact, be permitted to apparel them selves expressively, so that "he who runs may read," and the most u nob serving of passereby will know her nature by a fleeting glance at "lovely woman" as she glides along the thor oughfare upon some mission bent. Whether this is going to be ex tendej to mere man may give us pause. For so long a time has man been held within the confinea so rigid that the "conventional black" describes his gar ment of gladness we hesitate at the thought of what might happen were he permitted to make his selection of clothes fancy free and with an eye solely to exhibiting In his garb what he conceives to be his character. It may be that this Chicago re former has gone too far. Whitlockism Expoied. The Interior of Chicago, a militant church organ, Is one of the great moral agencies that Is not deceived by that school of sentimental city admin istrators represented by the late "Golden Rule" Jones and the present Mayor Brand Whltlock of Toledo. In an editorial It clearly exposes the whole sham of this "holier-than-thou" propaganda, which has been so emi nently successful In concealing from a credulous people Its real mission self-aggrandizement. The Interior points out that between 1890 and 1900 Toledo gained In popu lation 61 per cent, while between 1900 and 1910 it gained only 28 per cent, being surpassed by Columbus aa the third city in the state. It was this last decade during which Jones and Whltlock have served aa mayors. As the interior puts it, "The latter period Is the period of the ascendency of sen timental mayors too weak to deal squarely with vice and law-breaking." Do results count? "Quite a few of the good citizens of Toledo have been accustomed to boast that their town has attained ideal municipal government under the sway of its famous mayors," says ' the In terior. "The Whltlock and Jones no tion Is to be sweet toward everybody and not be harsh about anything a rule which neither mayor ever violated except to denounce two classes preachers and rich men. Of course, this artificial complexion of felicity has appealed vastly to sentimentalists for sentimental reasons, and to the people who make their living by crime and vice for reasons not sentimental." Then the Interior adda that some of the clean people are now about to awake from the dream into which Jones and Whltlock lulled them and wonder If, after all, Toledo, with Its wide-open vicious policy of Whitlock ism and Its heavy falling off in gain of population are really the- evidencea and the attributes of the "best gov erned city in the world." This certainly, is an effective exposi tion of the sham these political fakers have been practicing on the people, and for what? Do not the people see that It is for nothing except the selfish interests of the self-styled "reform ers?" This thing haa become epi demic In this country, and often men or newspapers that refuse to be swayed by every such gust of senti- mentallsm are denounced by some up start, with not enough business of his own to keep him from meddling with that of other people. But what Is to be said of the leading organ of one of the leading church denominations of the country when It comes out with such a complete denunciation of Jones lam and Whitlockism, which in other cities and other states might go by a dozen different names? If the people did not want to be de ceived by these charlatans they would not be. After the Reno prize fight Whltlock came out in one of his syn dicate articles with a denunciation of the anti-fight sentiment as a "recrudes cence of Anglo-Saxon morality," say ing that "meanwhile in the tenements and slums half the children die before the age of 6 years. Furthermore, last year, by the Industrial machines of the country, half a million men were killed or maimed." And his followers shouted his praises. "Great man, that." But did they atop to Inquire what he, as the mayor of a great city, waa doing to check or overcome these evil condi tions? - There is the trouble. People are too easily swept off their feet by some vagrant wave of sentimental elo quence that happens to strike their idle fancy without touching their minds. Perhaps ne mayor in the United States has done less to correct these evil conditions, or this highly esteemed church paper would not dare to declare that Whltlock Is "too weak to deal squarely with vice and law breaking." When will the people i learn ? One of the chief obstacles to real reform and genuine civic virtue la the fake reformer and his sham policies. When the prison authorities found money in the possession of C. W. Morse they placed him on a milk and bread diet. Outside the prisons the order is Just the reverse. When a man finds himself possessed of money he gets off the milk and bread diet and goea to eating roast beef. Some reference waa made In theae columns recently to an Invitation that Galveston had sent forth to all the world to repair thither and make note of the triumphs that had been achieved under the Galveaton plan of city gov ernment. And now comes the United States census and shows that Qalras- ton has decreased In population during that period. It Is barely possible that this loos In population la not due to the workings of the commission form of government, but, at any rate, It is not likely to be held out as an Induce ment to other cities to come Into the Galveston plan. Discontent la a righteous thing when It denotes a restless ambition for moral and material betterment, but an unrighteous thing when it simply means chronic complaint with condi tions as they are and sordid ambition for selfish rain. , Balance Wreaajr Sid.

Few people, away from Kansas, are familiar with a side of th prohibition queation in that state which accounts for th "seal" of many a belled "reformer." That Is th system of fees In connection with the operation of tha law. The Kansas prohibitory law provides no salary for an assistant attorney general, permitting him to live off free quarter and pillage from whatever funds he may compel men to pay him. The office of assistant attorney gen eral 1a perhaps the most sought after of fice within the gift ot the state, Wyan dotte county, for Instance, harlng two as sistant attorneys general, devoting their entire time to the prohibitory law.
