Drfenap for Klil" Fraternities.
OMAHA, .March 17. -To the Editor vf
The Bee: Referring to your editorial us
to "Kid Fraternities," permit me to sug
gest that it docs not seem quite tght
for men whose lapels are stuck full of
lodge emblems to object to boy fra
ternities.
Logic Is logic. Is It right to flit the
world full of secret societies and thou
tell tho boys that they are wrong? Is
right to fill a city with Baloons and
then tell the boys that saloons are bad
places to go to? Is It right to tolerate red
lights and then worry your head jtf
Ith fear that your boys will be attracted
to them? If you want the boy to do tho
Ight thing, do It yourself set the ex-
ample.
A secret society In a high school Is Just
exactly as desirable as R secret society
nywhero else. If a secret society inter
feres with a school boy's study, It In
terferes with a man's work and with hla
duty to society, to the state and to his
family,
I have lived a fairly long life, begin
ning as a poor boy, and have done well,
kept my self-respect und the respect ot
my neighbors, have accumulated a com
petence and never Joined nor applied for
membership In a secret society and am
not a Catholic I am not an enemy of
secret societies, but have always looked
upon them as probably an eccentric out
growth of modern conditions. But they
certainly detract from the home as a
social nucleus, they cost the people mil
lions of dollars yearly, the Insurance
with which many of them allure men Into
olnlng Is not, as a rule, a safe invest
mcnt. and a multitude of families are
deprived of comforts for the sake of
following this wlll-o'-thc-wisp business ot
seciet societies.
If tho time spent by men In lodges md
about lodge affairs were spent at home
with tho boys and girls they would not
think ot having school fraternities. But
If fathers or mothers are going to make
their lodges or clubs their first consider

William C. Rcdfleld, the new Secretary
of Commerce, has been a manufacturer
and employer of labor for over thirty
years. His views on the relations of
employer and employe are embodied in
"The New Industrial Day," a book Jut
published by him. In this he argues
for greater appreciation of the human
factor in industry. Here are some ex
tracts from his book:
"Never give up self-study. There will
always be something to learn about
your ways.
"Don't Ut your initiative become steri
lized by a tariff or anything else. (This
may be as a friend says it is 'grossly
Inferential.' but It Is true nevertheless.)
"It Is not wise to destroy the Initiative
of your working force by looking so hard
at a quarter yourself that you can't see
the is bill beyond. .
"A Justly discontented force can cost
you more directly or Indirectly than the
moat expert and costly superintendent
can ever find out.
"The cheapest and moat efficient dis
cipline la that which well paid, hopeful
and xealoua work naturally creates.
"The cutting of piece-work rates and
wages Join the hall mark ot efficient
management.
Obsolete machinery la the foe ot profits,
the brother of high coat and the friend of
bad methods.
"Export trade begins at home In your
own shop, and first with the head of It
To get It brings your wages and output
up your costs and prices down; know
what it is doing In your own plant and
you can smile at a competing world.
"When you have good stuff to sell, well
and cheaply made, properly designed and
of regular quality, well packed, you will
have no trouble to sell It abrqad. What
one country or market won't take an
other will. It's a large world."
