IF TUB bank clerk, getting ready on
Thursday to pack on Friday night and
dashing madly off to the train or ferry
at 12 prompt Saturday, were to bo told
that these two months of July nnd August
are phenomenal he would probably say
Tfes." The weathor is phenomenally
hot in Bomo places and phenomenally
cool In others, and there Is a war and life
Is In general .very complicated and Inter
esting. But it would hardly occur to
him, or to tho hundreds of thousands who
aro In Ills case, that their vacations are
tho great phenomenon.
Very few men could say offhand
whether Charles Lamb useU to get two
weeks' vacation from the East India
IIouso or whether Nathaniel Hawthorne
got tlmo out, so to speak, from the spell
of tho Sacred Codfish. But almost any
ono can Imagine tho feelings of a manu
facturer or commercial giant of tho early
nineteenth century If ho could see tho
mills and factories and department stores
closing for Saturday' afternoon. Vaca
tions nnd half-holidays, tho whole Joyous
process of week-ending, aro modern In
ventions. Tho celebrated bank holidays
In which overy English 'Arry and his
'Arrlet, not to mention such less Im
portant strata of society as bankers,
dukes and Cabinet members, lcavo town,
date from 1871. In tho Middle Ages
thero wore so many holy days that work
was stopped at most lnopportuno mo
ments, and wo havo tho .Reformation to
thank, or to blumo, for tho decrease.
Modernity Is turning back to tho older
theory. It Is, apparently, good for a man
not to work after ho has worked.
Tho holiday Is, however, only a symp
tom of something deeper, a change In tho
attltudo of employers to tho men who
work for them. Neither philosophy nor
sociology Is needed to understand how
that change came about. It Is a purely
human readjustment. A century and a
half ago tho factory system was only be
ginning to grow. Men Btlll worked largoly
for themselves and yjomen worked In their
homes. Then a revolution came, and we
are only beginning to recover from Its
effects. Tho flrst prlnclplo of tho older
typo of employer was to work his em
ployes for all they wero worth. There
is a very terrible saying In Matthew that
they who save their lives shall lose them.
The ancient employer was saving his life
in tho meanest way, by wearing out tho
lives of othors.
What brought about the new reforma
tion cannot be definitely said. The claims
of ordinary decency, tho obligations of
'ordinary humanity, had much to do with
It. For the sake of tho human race It is
bettor to bellovo that tho change wa3 not
brought about by purely selfish causes.
The other half of the quotation from
Matthow is that they who lose their lives
in tho service of ho Lord shall find them.
In a purely practical application It works
out For those who began to treat their
employes decently began to save their
souls and to Increase their profits. Onco
that was established, the progress of
vacations find week-ends and shorter
hours and better,, working conditions bo
came very swift.
There Is a blue list among commer
cial Institutions, and one of tho surest
ways of determining how "classy" a busi
ness house Is considered Is by discovering
what hours, days and weeks It gives Its
employes. Saturday half-holidays aro al
ready giving way to Saturday whole holi
days. One-week vacations gradually
stretch into two. Theelght-hour day is
contracting into seven. And tho world
grows richer year by year.
Tho enthusiasts for efficiency, who aro
not always quite clear as to what we are
to be efficient about, can make capital
of the new dispensation, but the credit
Is not theirs. They aro willing to grant
the- best of conditions, but they demand
their price. The employer who knows
human nature better than the theories of
the efficiency engineers the very term
is absurd in relation to human beings
gives tho cash and takes the return on
credit He knows it is good for men and
women to have their time out of bondage.
The world has changed, and the phe
nomenon Is repeated just as the phe
nomenon of spring Is repeated every
year. This month and next life is thrown
out of its rut Fresh woods and pas
tures new bound the landscape. The
8:09 does not have to be caught. There
is no necessity of beating thevsecond
floor front to the bathroom. The boss
does not have to be placated. It isn't
even necessary to read the papers. There
are some who. spoil it all by packing
their desks Into their suitcases and by
worrying on the Saturday they leave
about the work to be done the Monday
they return. .Fortunately, they aro not
many. The"-.world Is still light-hearted
and the great Institution of vacations
helps it through many a hard place. It Is
a symptom of better things, eome of
them already here. Some are still
come.

OVR VILLAGE POET
Whenever (ft a Saturday, etpeclaXlit tt
June,
The tun can't thtne too bright for me or
rite a bit too toon,
Secauto I've got tome 'ov to chase te-
fora mu work tJirouj; ,
And I go out on Ohettnut ttreet to tea
what newt it new.
First off, of course, there's got to la some
planning In advance,
Preparing for tho moment when the first
faint sunbeams dance,
Because preparedness surelv Is a neces
sary thing
To get the fullest pleasure from the joy
of which I sing.
Bo, 'long about, say, six o'clock upon the
night before,
I call up Oharlla Taylor, WiHIe Schmidt
or Howard Mohr,
Or some one else amdng my friends (and
there are half a score)
Who own a car that's big enough to hold
our bunch o' boys
And ask no more for pay than Just a
chance to share the Joys
Awaiting us beyond tho hills where lies
the wlshcd'for goal,
A place of pure delight a real old-fash-
ioned tuAmmln' holel
The light upon the eastern sky where
night and ntornln' meet
lias only just begun to uAnk when in our
quiet street
The "chug-chug" of the motorcar that
glides up to our door
Is signal to the watchers thero to grab
their towelt and pour
Their happy selves Into tho car as quickly
as they may.
An' In another ntomctit tee aro ready and
away I
An hour's rldct (I can't afford to tell you
where we go,
Unless you write an' ask me, if you really
want to know)
An hour's rldct an' there beneath tho
early mornln' sun
Wc find our pool that seems to fairly
bubble up with fun.
At any rate, it seemed to me we'd scarcely
gotten thero
Before a llfte young animal, of all its
garments bare,
Arose from out tho motorcar and hurtled
through the air.
Tho others followed rapidly; an' soon
with merry din
The pool was bubbling famously an' all
of ut were in.
I've sported in the summer sea, an' in
the mountain lake,
Where fashionable gentlefolk their recre
ation take,
But as for finding pleasure there, tfs
nothing but a fake.
There clumsy bathing garments must en
cumber trunk an' limb, .
.-in' so thafs nothing but a bath; but this,
v air. Is a swim!
Oh I joy of all tho joys in life a family
man may know
There Isn't any greater one in all this
earth below
Than that which stirs his proud old heart
whenever you may find htm
A-d(t;ln' in a swlmmln'-pool with all his
kids behind htm.
That's why when It's a Saturday, espe
cially in June,
The sun can't shine too bright for rne or
rise a bit too soon.
Because I've got some joy to chase before
my work is through
And I go out on Ohettnut street to see
what news is neto.

SOME RHETORICAL QUESTIONS
To the Editor of Evening Ledger:
Sir Will you kindly answer In your

Theodore Roosevelt:
Did Theodore Roosevelt conquer Spain In
the Spanish-American war?
Is It a fact that he single-handed and
alone freed Cuba?
Docs ho possess more patriotism than
any other citizen?
Can any other citizen become a candi
date for President of the United States
without flrBt obtaining his consent?
Did ho write a book or magazine article
ontltled, "Dear Harrlman, You and I Are
Praotlcal Men"? SAGAMORR
Philadelphia, Juno 29.
his alleged offenso, was a gross violation
of custom and law, and as a matter of fact
tho verdict In such circumstances was a
foregone conclusion. Why add, to the In
famous farce the bitter Irony of Irishmen
pleading to an English King for anything,
much less for a favor which all tho In
stincts and promptings of common humanity
constitute a right?
Sir Roger Casement will not be executed
for the simple reason that Buoh execution
would outrage the public conscience of the
civilized world, and just now the good
opinion of the world, especially of the
United States, Is a thing which England
desires to cultivate rather than to outrage.

THE NEW SAGE COLLEGE
fl iwWW Jsai,
n
fM
SINCE the first school for higher educa
tion for wopien was opened the world
has learned great deal. The early
women's colleges attempted to give to
women the same kind of education that
men received in order to train them for
men's occupations. Nowadays even the
feminists admit that there are certain
occupations for which women are better
adapted than for others. And we have
discovered also that if women are to
fulfil their primary mission some place
must be found Jn their education for in
struction in the duties of motherhood
not the mere physical duties, but the
equally important function of training
tho phiia, The first ten years of life are
tho most critical. It is the mother wljp
makes or mars the citizen Jn those years.
We have learned to specialize in educa
tion ar4 tq offer that which Is needed
(of the varied occupations of women as
well aa of men. The Russell Sage College
of Practical Art, which la soon to open
Its doors in Troy, is the latest institution

EVILS WORSE THAN WAR
To tha Editor of Evening Ledger:
Sir I read a letter headed "Degenerate
America" and signed by "A Son of the
Revolution," which Is a "knock" at the
general attitude of the people In regard to
war.
There are some things worse than war.
When conditions exist In a country whloh
make life no better than slavery where
two-thirds of the people are hopeless of
getting a deoent living how can any one
expect to find true patriotism?
The "times are out of joint" and It takes
trials and hardships to produce real patri
ots. Men need to learn stain that there are
more Important things than stocks and
bonds. That Ford story has been denied.
A man can suffer nnd be still and read of
things that make his blood boll. Wo have
read of such things done In this country
In the name of law nnd government Men
have talked about It and what they say
and have said does not souna very pleas
ant. I want to say to "A Son of tho Revo
lution" do not worry about America de
generating. A small part of it may be ; but
the largest number of people are all right
at heart and only a little more patient
and long-suffering than were the oppressed
people of earlier times. They can be
"stirred up." J. F.

Sir You say relative to Mr. Hughes'
criticism of the Administration's policy In
Mexico that there Is plenty more documen
tary evidence for Mr. Hughes to cite. Sure
enough there Is, and It extends back two
years before Wilson .had any say. When
Americans were killed" In Mexico and Mex

wounding eleven, Taft never raised a hand.
Ten days after Madero waa murdered and

BARKING UP THE WRONG TREE
To fAe Editor of Evening Ledger:
Sir In your leading editorial of today
you say, "We have called the Colonel a
leader," Be good enough to go back over
your distinguished columns for the last year
or so and then publish what else you have
called him. The hard names and vicious
epithets you have heaped on him may CI)
an entire page, but It would just now make
awfully Interesting reading.
Then note that your hero, Mr. Charles E.
Hughes, lately of the United States Supreme
Court, says In his letter of yesterday ad
dressed to the Colonel (this ''unspeakable
blatherskite"), "I wish to have all the aid
you are willing and able to give,"
And then kindly Inform your readers If
birds of a feather still flock,

It has considered the Colonel one of the
greatest Americans and has said so within a

PHILADELPHIA'S BLIGHT
During the convention of the Ad Clubs In
Philadelphia this week opportunity will be
given to place the 'metropolis of the Com
monweatlb In Its proper position before tho
country. As this newspaper has frequently
pointed out, Philadelphia, with all its noble
traditions, Its unique place as the cradle of
liberty and Its transcendent features aa a
manufacturing and commercial city, has not
occupied its proper position among the cities
of tha country. This as a result of the con
tinual political bickering and factional ac
tivities of several big contractors, who are
more Interested In fat awards than they are
In maintaining the good name of the State's
wants to be proud of Phila
delphia and It ought to be the business of
the great mass of the people within its
boundaries to crush out the petty things
whloh detract front the real greatness of the
typical American city. Entirely too much
consideration Is given the near-sighted poli
ticians who are constantly striving to ad
vance their own selfish Interests through the
exploitation of the higher and more Impor
tant Interests of the community fit large.
Too long thta condition has bean permitted

Prunes Arc Rich in Calories, but
Boys Dont Care They
Prefer Ice Cream
for Dessert
By ROBERT HILDRETH
TOMMY and Sammy wero playing; to
gether In Tommy's house when lunch
tlmo arrived, rib Tommy's mother fnVlted
Sammy to slay for lunch, Sammy de
murred, saying:
"I told ma I'd be home."
"But," eald Tommy's' mother, "auppote
I tclephono.over? I'm sure aho'd glvo hot
permission If I asked her."
Sammy was thus driven to thownl.
''I asked your maid," ho replied, "what
you'ro,go!ng to havo for dessert, and she
eald prunes, and wo're going to havo ice
cream."
Only prunes! That sotUod it. Prunes
are humble articles of diet, but thero are
thoso who love them. A big healthy
growing boy cannot always' see It that
way. Sometimes ho prefers ice cream.
Ico cream Isn't to bo sneered at, either. X

prunes, for that matter; but prunes, you
know, aro prunos. Ico cream, on the other
hand, is Ice, cream. Leave it to a big,
healthy, growing boy to put tho dlfforonce
on a pragmatic basis. Ho Is tho great dls
covoror of what Is what Leavo it to the
boy.

began to chargo extra for bread like tho
other follows.
But maybo Helno doesn't read tho pa

tho marriage altar and a few rooms, for
light housekeeping. The lighter tho

Heine's a good fellow. His equipment in
somo ways may bo a little deficient, but
I really cant find it in my heart to blame
him for ,that Heine is ifr good fellow
and I llko him but he ought to read the
papers more carefully, with a better, com

If he did he would discover the economlo
virtues of prunes and then he could

Menus From Hospitals'
Be that as it may, it has been proved
by teats I think they were made in a
hospital or hod something somehow to
do with a hospital that 17.31 is enough
or auftlclent to feed a family of two
adults and three children for a weelc.
With the help of prunes. One pound of
prunes (costing 15 cents) will provide
one breakfast and ono dessert for the
family. The next week the' family cob
have stewed apricots or stewed peaches
either for breakfast or for dinner, or for
both.
There's nothing particularly objection
able about the sample menus. Good,
wholesome food, providing 8600 caloriei

They're very scientific. So scientific, in
fact, that they aren't reail life. No mora
