Edison, the greatest electrician of his age. has been giving a little talk to the young, those who are just starting in life through school or work. He says that so press into one's work, pay no attention to the clock, think and talk business. and learn all there Is to know about one's position is. in truth, one ot the tirst conditions of success. Happy ts he who loves his task and delights in it, who would rather win than fall, and who. like the artist who routes in Joy. regards his occupation hs something more than a pa'nful necessity. But, material success Is not everything. Man does not live by bread alor.e. The young must talk and think of other things besides business at the right time and in the right place. The truly enterprising young person knows hiB work and much else beside." The more he knows of other things worth knowing, the better he knows his work. To read good books, to enjoy good music, to study government, to think of the needs of others, is not to weaken him In work tut to increase hts strength. It is the young of today who will inherit the work of the world. They will make over the industries, the government, the churches., the human doings. What the young should beware of its?idleness, flippancy, slackness and indifference. ' Hard work and high ideals, simple living and clean, generous thinking are, the conditions of true, human noble success. & Where Is Ballinger? "I believe." said Secretary Flaher to the American Mining congress, "that the time has passed when the government should convey an unrestricted title to Its coal Holds. . . . I believe the leasing system avoids the * controversies and the difficulties of both extremes of public and of private ownership. . . . The adoption of a leasing policy will take awsy from the promoters of such a road (sa one to the Alaskan coal fields) the Bjjffc- lure of great gain from the exploitation of the coal fields.

'i fARIFF BOARD VALUE iOUNTNY SOMEWHAT SKEPTICAL ON THE SUBJECT. ( port on Wool Schedule Dooo Not Soom to So of Much Practical Una?One Thing at Laaat the People Know. The house of representative# deided to order the publication of the a riff board' report on the wool cbedule. Perhaps a careful study of t may prove that It Is as valuable as he president believes It to be. But here Is a good dsal of skepticism on he subject. One thing seems to be iretty well established, and that la hat the board did not get any lm>ortant information as to the differing oata of production of wool and woolrns. Indeed, it is admitted that it . fas impossible "to state in exact erms the cost of producing a pound of rool by itself, for the simple reason hat wool is but one of two products if the same operation." So even the " lomestlc price of producing wool can lot be stated in "exact terms." How>ver. the board, In some way, maniged to discover that in the west the -ost is at least 11 cents a pound. As t admits that the cost is higher In }hlo than anywhere else, it is hard o see how, with the high Ohio cost, ind with wool costing 11 cents in the lections where production is cheap-St. the board managed to strike an ivcrage of 9Va cents for the entire country. In truth it all looks like guesswork. Obviously If the difficulties were so treat at .home they must have been nuch snore formidable abroad.. ^Tbe kost "of jfrbdtiftlon in South America s. we are Informed, .between 4 and 5 -ents a pound. No authority In support of this conclusion has thus far been given, nor havo we any light on the process used In reaching It. In regard to the cost in Australia the board Is most Indefinite. "It appears." we are told, "that a charge of a very tew cents a pound lies against the great clips of that region in the aggregate." Again the board Is unable to "name an exact figure." Of course, ill this must be very discouraging to those who Insist that the measure of protection should be the difference between the foreign and domestic costs of production. Only, so it is said, as we observe this principle can we hope to get a "scientific" tariff. Yet we now see that this difference can not be established with anything oven approaching scientific exactness. It la all guesswork, and. therefore. It Is through guesswork that we are to work out our scientific tariff. We have no exact figures in regard to production in this country. In South America or in Australasia, and yet It Is expected that congress will from this report discover what the differing costs of production are. and then legislate "sclentifllcaUy" in the light of that knowledge. Thn truth n( ennnip la that th? whole theory is Impossible and fallacious. We hare seen how difficult it was for the board to apply it, and how complete was its failure to get accurately the facts which are supposed to be necessary to the construction of a proper tarlfT. It is said that the ways and means committee will question the members of the board as to the authorities on which it relied and the methods which it used. One thing, at least, the people know, and that !b that the wool schedule is about as bad as it could be?is. as the president once said, "indefensible.'*?Indianapolis News. Democratic Campaign Document. It is admitted by the president that the effect of the high duties on wool and woolen goods has been to exclude "the importation of clean, low-priced foreign wools of Inferior grades" which could hare been used to "to displace the cheap substitutes now In use." In other words, many who are now wearing shoddy might be wearing wool if the Republican congress had not seen At to insure the profits of those who are engaged in the woollen industry. With a few comments and annotations President Taft's message advocating the lowering of the woolen tariff ought to make a good campaign document for the Democratic party. Another severe blow has been given simplified spelling. Because the indictment against a North Carolina murderer recited that he shot his victim in tne nrest, no was aiscnargea. An Illinois alienist says a wave of remorse Is sweeping; over the country. Come to think of It, this Is the season ot the year when the greatest number fall off the New Tear water wagon. One of the doctors announces that the time will come when, all diseases will be stamped oat. The trouble Is that It will not come until most of us have had a large percentage of the diseases. Scrubbing and laundering are to be taught to the glrla In a Chicago high school. About the time that this course becomes popular with girls la their teens the boys will be "nrMag Into the elaasee on digging dttebes nod hreeklsg stones. < r IT any one doubts lbs troth of ths cOd wlop tbat lb* tool and hi* Mr ?r* *o*? p?rt*d.
