CARNEGIE ON BUSINESS.

Mr. Carnegie was ever an optimist, and he seems with advancing,'years to grow more stalwart in the faith. But he is also an exceedingly shrewd business man, and a rather trustworthy forecaster. “There is,” he said yesterday, “no more doubt that a better business period has begun than of the fact that the sun will ( shine more brilliantly in a few months than it does now.” “We shall find,” he said further, “in a very short time that the reduction, of the tariff will benefit the American exporter.” This is not the voice of mere optimism, but of sober truth. There is plenty of evidence that may be cited in support of the Carnegie view. Trade reports are more favorable each week. Idle men are being put to work 1n increasing numbers. Steel mills are resuming operations, and on a steadily increasing scale. i.Mr. Carnegie, therefore, only reports what he sees and knows. As to the new tariff, it is hound to increase exports. It can have no other effect. The fewer the obstacles to trade the greater trade will be. Imports and exports will both grow, and within a few years our loreign trade will in all probability he larger than ever before in our l istory. We shall have a larger command over the good things of life—indeed, we already have it to some extent. Here, again, the great patron of circulating libraries speaks as an authority. For he has had much experience with foreign trade, and also with the tariff as related to it.

So we can enter the happy spring season, which is already knocking at our doors, with high hopes and cheerful hearts. The signs are all favorable—even in the baseball world. With the appearance of the first box score today one can almost see the streets and the fields free of snow. In the business, as in the sporting world, the slogan now is, "Play hall'.”—lndianapolis News.

ONE YEAR OF WILSON.

With tonight the first year of the administration of President Wilson is brought to a close. That it has "been in the highest degree successful is, we think, the sober judgment of the country. The President has, as he deserves to have, the confidence of the people. For he has served them faithfully and intelligently—and with a whole-hearted devotion to them and their interests. It is

much to have got through a currency bill and a tariff bill—both admirable measures—in one year; much to have helped bring about the ratification o‘ the arbitration treaties. Under his leadership it seems certain that the free toll subsidy will be abolished. Here is almost Work enough to be distributed over four years. But quite as important is the good feeling that exists between the President and the people and between the President and congress. In this particular the .situation at Washingtog is better than it has been for years. Other Presidents have got along peaceably with congress, but enly by abdicating in its favor. Other Presidents have “got things done,” but only by weilding the big stick, by kindling back fires, and by threatening to set secret service men on the trails of individual congressmen. Under Mr. Wilson the public business has been carried on in a dignified and gentlemanly way, and yet with the highest efficiency. Certainly he has not “loafed on the job.” To him being President is not a game, not something to be “enjoyed.” We do not suppose that he has had “a bully time.” He spoke of bis inauguration day as "a day

of consecration.” So it has proved to be. He has kept hf»«vow. Also he has impressed himself on the country as a man of great intellectual force and remarkable efficiency. He is, as he deserves to be, the unchallenged leader of his party. It is fortunate for the country—and for the democratic party—that his ideals are sound and his purposes patriotic. There are, of course, many tests which the President yet has to undergo. The questions connected with trust legislation are of the greatest difficulty and complexity. There are radical demands yet to be faced. Mexico presents entanglements of the most embarrassing character. In the light of what has already been accomplished—and it will be remembered that it was predicted that currency legislation would fail—there is every reason to believe that these and all other tests will be successfully met. For Mr. Wilson is- a man of poise as well as of initiative. He is firm—his critics say obstinate—but he knows how to yield. The business world has learned, greatly to its surprise, that he is no wild crusader or rash experimenter. On the contrary, he seeks the best advice he can get, considers it carefully and acts in accordance with a well-matured judgment. But, as a famous statesman once said, “the past at least is secure.” The Wilson administration has more than met the expectations of the people. It would be unfair not to speak of the loyal and intelligent co-opera-tion which he has had from his party in congress. Indeed, the republicans and progressives have also, on more than one occasion, manifested their confidence in him. The best wish 'hut can be made for the President is that the remainder of his admintration may he as successful as its first year has been.—Tuesday’s Indianapolis News.

Shorter Hours For | Railroad Employees ifel Conducive to Safety fkjjm K H By CHARLES C. M’CHORD, Interstate Commerce Commissioner Photo by American Press Association.

VIOLATIONS of the law limiting the service of train employees on American railroads to SIXTEEN CONSECUTIVE HOURS go to the very heart of the efficiency and safety of train operation. NEARLY THREE HUNDRED THOUSAND VIOLATIONS OF THE SIXTEEN HOUR LAW WERE REPORTED BY TWO HUNDRED AND 6IXTY-NINE RAILROADS DURING THE YEAR, THE ROADS SUBMITTING VARIOUS REASONS WHY SUCH VIOLATIONS WERE NECESSARY. TWO HUNDRED AND FIFTY-ONE THOUSAND ONE HUNDRED AND ELEVEN MEN, IT WAS POINTED OUT, WERE EMPLOYED IN HANDLING TRAINS DURING THE YEAR, AND THE EXCESS SERVICE PROBABLY WOULD NOT EXCEED ONE INSTANCE TO EACH EMPLOYEE. As a result of the prosecutions instituted by the commission the instances of excess service reported during the last six months as compared with the corresponding figures for preceding years has shown a marked reduction. * * * MY BELIEF IS THAT THE CARRIERS INVOLVED WILL CONCEDE TO THE COMMISSION’S ANALYSIS OF THEIR REPORTS SUCH A DEGREE OF ATTENTION AS WILL ENABLE THEM BY APPRISING THEMSELVES OF THE PREVENTABLE CAUSES OF EXCESS SERVICE TO ELIMINATE THE MAJORITY OF INSTANCES IN WHICH EMPLOYEES HERETOFORE HAVE BEEN PERMITTED OR REQUIRED TO REMAIN ON DUTY FOR LONGER PERIODS THAN SIXTEEN CONSECUTIVE HOURS.

Permit Every Normal Child to Develop Along Lines of His Aptitudes •' . _ 1 . ' ■ By Professor CHARLES ZUEBLIN, Publicist and Lecturer E'VER'I child not mentally defective is creative and should receive a chance to develop along the lines of his aptitudes. A CLASSROOM FOR CHILDREN PERFECTLY STILL IS A PATHOLOGICAL PHENOMENON tfiat ought not to be expected. A teacher that cannot guide children through the noise and bustle incident to work is incompetent. I BELIEVE IN THE TEACHING OF EVERYTHING IN THE GAMUT OF CULTURE PROVIDED THE PUPILS SHOW AN APTITUDE FOR THE SUBJECTS ASSIGNED. CIRCULATE FIFTY BOOKS THROUGH A CLASS OF CHILDREN, AND AT THE END OF THE YEAR THERE WILL BE A VAST DIFFERENCE IN THE CULTURE ACQUIRED BY EACH—A VAST DIFFERENCE IN ACQUISITION, PERMANENT AND EPHEMERAL. THERE IS NO CONFLICT BETWEEN VOCATIONAL EDUCATION AND CULTURE. Graduates of technical schools where the work is comprehensive and the classes small will be found to have more culture at the end of ten or twenty years after having left the school than those who used the average college curriculum.

The following resolutions endorsing Mr. Lauenstein’s candidacy wero adopted by the Hendricks Club: "Be it resolved, that the Hendrick' Club of Evansville, an organization representing the united Democracy of Vanderburgh County, and including in its membershin more than two thousand militant Democrats of the First Congressional district, pledge its loyal support to the candidacy of Frederick \V. Dauenstein for Treasurer of the State of Indiana. “We recommend Mr. Lauenstein to the Democracy of Indiana as a Democrat worthy of their support for that important office. He is owner and editor of The Daily Dernokrat, a German newspaper of wide circulation and powerful influence. "KHablished by hi? father more than'forty years ago. this paper has been the consistent advocate of Democratic principles end has. always fought the battles of the party. "We commend him ns a capable and experienced man well qualified to administer the important trust and we point to his servl'-p a c rirector in two of the leading b-M-'-s of Cvcnavi lie as evidence of h.s fitues-t as a business man. "Mr. I.auenstoin is a man of education and culture, of pleading personality and wide accua’ntnnee over the stgte, and we believe hi« nomination will give strength to the Democratic ticket.
