Somebody has said thnt there are
more young men in the penitentiary
In this country learning trades than
there are outside of them. The prin
cipal cause of this is, we are educat
ing our young men for gentlemen;
trying to make lawyers, doctors and
clerks out of the material nature
Intended for blacksmiths, carpenters,
and other "hewers of wood and
drawers of water." It is a mistaken
idea and a big one, to teach boys and
girls by insinuation or otherwise
that to labor is disgraceful, or If
labor Is necessary for a-livelihood
to follow a genteel occupation, and
that to do nothing for a living Is
more becoming tho society In which
they expect to move and have re
spect. Hang such society! It Is
rotten to the core and there are
many men's sons and daughters who
are now being educated to become
a "leading lady" and "walking gen
tleman" in the great drama of life,
and will light out for a poor house
or penitentiary before they have
played their parts and the curtain
drops.
The sensational, charges against
John K. Tener, which the "North
American" advertised for two days,
and through which its circulation
manager tried to get circulation for
the paper by letters sent out through
tho state to those who might aid
In pushing tho paper, have fallen
flatter than a pancake.
The "charges" only contained the
statement that TENER was for a
few weeks connected with a corpor
ation which has in its directorate
and among its officers men of the
highest repute In the community
and some who have been prominent
ly Identified with reform move
ments in Philadelphia. He found
that he had not time to give to. the
company, and ho retired from ft.
He resigned tho position of Pres
ident which had been given him and
he reslgnod from the Board of Di
rectors. He did not accept the stock
which had been offered to him.
But, although TENER got out of
tho National Public Utilities Cor
poration before he had scarcely got
in It, there were many others of tho
very best standing in the commun
ity who remained in it, and who aro
in it today, if there are also some
men connected with the company
whoso reputations aro not of the
best and the North American
professes to know all about such
men It must not bo forgotten thnt
nearly all of those concerned aro of
the best reputation.
It is for them to fight tho allega
Hons of the newspaper that their
company and they aro crooked. As
for TENER, ho has been out of tho
question for a long time much
longer by months than ho was ever
in It weeks.
It is not to bo forgotten, either,
that TENER and all his connections
have been abovo reproach at all
times. His character Is of tho best,
and is regarded as unassailable,
while tho source tho awful polluted
source from which this attack up
on him springs, must necessarily bo
considered.
Van Vnlkeiiburgi who Is editor of
tho North American, Is tho sumo man

SAVINGS STAMPS
INSTEAD OF COIN
Public Will Get Bright Yellow Paper
This Year in Plnco of Gold
Pieces.
Washington, D. C, Oct. IS. Uncle
Sam as a source of supply for Santa
Claus has switched from gold pieces
to stamps. Up to this year the gov
ernment mints coined large quanti
ties of two-and-a-half gold pieces
which were known among the treas
ury officials as Christmas money.
It was decided this year to dis
continue the coinage of the gold
pieces and now Uncle Sam has plac
ed an order for a large quantity of
bright new yellow postal saving
stamps. These together with a pos-
tal card upon which they are to be
pasted, represent a deposit In Uncle
Sam s new postal savings bank. In
order to stimulate savings among the
youngsters of Yankee Land, Uncle
Sam has gone to great expense to
furnish an attractive stamp. It is
expected that there will be a .great
demand for these stamps at Christ
mas time.
The card upon which the stamps
are pasted will cost ten cents and
will be In fact a "bank book."
represents the initial deposit of ten
cents. Each card holds nine stamps
which cost ten cents each. This
may be exchanged for a dollar cert!
llcate.
With tho use of tho stamps fo
Christmas presents will arise the
question of whether the postmasters
may be required or may lawfully
do a "mail order business" for the
postal savings system will only be In
stalled In one or possibly two post
offices in each state this year.
This question has not yet been do
cided by the officials. They aro of
tho opinion, however, that 4if tho
mall orders for postal savings stamps
do not reach a very big amount for
any one office it will be allowable
for a postmaster to All mail orders
until more postal savings depositories
are established. Generally speaking,
however, tho postal savings system
is not to bo a mail order Institution
and each man Is to bo required to
deposit his money in his home town
In order to keep depositors within the
legal limit of ? 100 a month for pos
tal deposits.
THE ALIA' OF THE DEMOCRACY,
Tho New York Herald has Just
completed a painstaking lnvestiga
Hon of tho political conditions in
every state, with especial reference
to the fight for control of the House
In tho Sixty-second Congress. Its
Inquiries lead to the conclusion that
of tho 391 districts, 118 must be
classified as doubtful or debatable
Tho Horald adds:
"But Hot only Is tho House of
Representatives at stake in this
election tho political control of tho
Senato may also be Involved."
In no other campaign slnco Bryan
divided tho Democracy has that par
ty been so hopeful of victory. Tho
chairman of tho Democratic Con
gresslonal Committee, Reprcsenta
tlve Lloyd, of Missouri, a few days
ago confidently predicted that tho
Democrats would havo a surprising'
ly largo majority In tho next House,
Ho included Pennsylvania In tho list
of states ho said would show a gain
for tho Democracy. Mr. Lloyd

IMMORTALITY OF THE SOUL.
Wizard Edison Denies Everlasting
Llfo While Father Yuuglinii As
serts There Is.
Now; York, Oct. 15. In a contro
versy between Tiiomas A. Edison
and Father Bernard Vnughan about
tho Immortality of tho human soul.
tho former made the following state
ment:
"I cannot believe In the Immor
tality of tho soul.
"Heaven? Shall I, If I am good
and earn reward, go to heaven when
I die? No, no, I am not I I nm
not nn Individual I am an aggre
gate of cells; as, for Instance, New
York city Is an aggregate of Indl-
Iduals. Will New Y'ork city go to
Heaven 7
"Wo are, as you know, mado up
each part of us Is made up of mil
lions of cells. These cells are not
absolutely Independent any nioro
than you, ns an individual living in
New York city, are independent;
but each cell Is an Individual. Ynu
area part of the city; each cell is a
part of you.
'Why should you a collection of
cells, be Immortal as a collection
any more than New ioik city, a
collection of individuals, should be
Immortal as a collection? Its citi
zens are continually dying, moving
away and being replnoed. Your
cells are continually dying, moving
away and being replaced.
Father Vaughan, In his reply,
speaks as follows:
Edison does admit the immortal
ity of the soul for the all-sufficient
reason that he denies the existence
of a human soul.
"I wish to be put on record as
asknowledglng man s Indebtedness
to Edison for his matchless mani
pulation of electricity and for an
inventive genius in other mechani
cal applications for the benedt of
social and commercial life.
"But the people must not lose
sight of the fact that Edison is neith
er a theologian nor a metaphysician
"Edison himself has told the world
that about the nature, even of elec
tricity, he knows nothing at all. '
"What Edison did know was how-
to make use of electricity.
"I would venture to remind Edi
son that the human soul might pos
slbly be a far finer and subtler sub
stance than electricity itself."

The Reisler Lads Amaze
Justice Zeiler.
Now York Youngsters, Aged Five and
Seven Years Respectively, Would
Visit Stores, Ask For a Drink of
Water and Rob Cash Registar.
New York, Oct. 20. Justice Zeller
became amazed when he was told In
tho children's court of tho evil doings
of Max Reisler and his brother George,
Max is seven years old and Georgo
Ilvo. Their homo is at 810 Dawson
atreot in the Bronx.
Their father, John Reisler, told Jus
tlco Zoller that they were entirely bo
yond his control. They stayed out
lato at night, ho said, and when they
came In frequently brought as much as
$10 or $15 with them. At first they
said they found the money, but ho was
convinced that they had stolen It.
Detective Lelber of tho Harlem de
tective bureau was able to throw more
light on tho probable El Dorado. Ho
had found the boys Tuesday evening
as they were running uwny from an
nrt shop at 107 West Ono Hundred
and Twenty-fifth street. Mrs. Ketch
am, the proprietor, was in hot pursuit
She suld that the boys had gono into
tho shop nnd asked for a drink of ico
wuter. While Mrs. Kotchnra waa in
tho rear filling a glass for thorn ono
of her customers called to her, and
sho hurried back to find that the draw
er of tho cash register was open nnd
$5 gone. The two small boys were
Just running out of tho door. Tho $5
was found on tho sidewalk near wbero
Lclbor arrested tho pair.
On tho way to tho rooms of tho
Gerry society, Lelber said, tho boyi
told him that they had been working
tho game for a long time. Sometimes
they would get as much as $15 from
ono plaeo. They generally picked out
shops where tho cash register was on
a shelf low enough for them to reach
without climbing .on a chair. By thb
timo tho proprietor was hack with
their drink of filter the cash register
would Do closed .again anu inoy wouiu
gulp down the wnter gratefully. Neither
would put the blame on tho other,
Georgo. tho younger one, tho detectlv
said, told him that ho generally took
tho money from tho drawer ns he was
so short that oven If tho shopkeeper
did look around he would hardly bo
nblo to seo George's head over tho
counter.
As ho could get no information from
the boys Justice Zeller remanded Mar
1,6 lio, enro of tho ,Gerry society until
Tuesday and sent George, tho smnller
ono, who still wears ono piece gingunra
suits, homo with his father.
SPEED MANIA,
lon't Get an Auto Unless You Hnvo
To," He Says; "Then (Jut Hid of
It and Take a Trolley."
Take my advice about nutoa;
don't get ono unless you havo to,
and then, when yoti have it, get rid
it and tnko a trolley car."
This Is tho advlco given by Ed
ward T. Rosonhclmcr, who Is nwalt-
ng trial on a chnrgo of causinc tho
death ' of Miss Grace Hough, who
was run down and killed by his ma
chine. "Another thing." ho continued in
his cell in the Tombs, "don't tico
how fast you can go, but how slow.
You may bo lined .for obstructing
traffic, but you won't find yourself
Indicted for running over nny ono."
Rosenhelmer s touring car is In
tho yard of the Morrlsanla police
station, and Captain Prlco wants to
got rid of it, but Is unnblo to And
anyone who seems to havo author
ity to order Its removal. When Ro
senhelmer wns told of the captain's
predicament, no said:
"I don't care what they do with

9th, and I never want to sco it
gain-. I never wnnt to seo another
auto, and I never Intend to ride In
another. But for automobiles I
would not have been In this trouble.
had the speed-madness, but I'm
cured."
A Lender in New Thought.
"Elizabeth Towno stands for that
which makes for greater growth and
greater happiness," writes Thomas
Dreler in Human Life for October.
"Sho reaches a certain class of
people. In her own field she Is as
great as Mrs. Eddy is in hers. Eliza
both Towno teaches folks to think
correctly, to understand and use
wisely their own forces, to conquer
doubt and fear, and to stand up as
fearless, independent, efficient.
"She worships before action. She
wants things done. She is no mere
talker and writer ono content to
preach and never practice. Her own
business, which started twelve years
ago with thirty borrowed dollars and
which today enables hor to gratify
her temperamental desire for a fine
home, trips to Europe and through
this country, clothes that appeal to
the feminine nature well, that is
the best proof that her teachings are
practical. That she is helping oth
ers live richer lives is something
anyone may lean from a single day's
correspondence. One letter came In
telling of a brakeman who had his
legs cut off In a wreck. 'He cannot
live,' the. doctors whispered. 'By
God, I will,' he said. He told later
that he had been reading Elizabeth
Towno's writings, and had been
taught to fight against adversity. He
lived.
"Her editorials are homely things.
They are not what a Harvard pro
fessor of English would offer to his
class as models of literature. But
what Is more Important than liter
ary style is found in them. They
contain messages that, to use a West
ernlsm, get across."
