The dismissal of Miss McGraw from the Hammond school has caused a broader ripple than was at first anticipated. The Indianapolis Star Says editorially of Miss McGraw and of the teacher In general: '"The unfortunate public school teacher catches it "a-comln or a-gwlne." Her pay is much less than that of her male associates because the profund social economists and financiers who regulate salaries complain that she will get married at the very first chance and ungratefully leave her school in the lurch. They say she is an uncertain quantity, and therefore does not deserve any better pay. "As a matter of fact, however, willIns teachers may bo to abandon the sacred cause of education fur the sake of experimenting with matrimony, they have but little opportunity for the transferring of their energies. Over each scholhouse might be written, 'Abandon hope of marriage, all ye who enter here." There are exceptions, of course, but they only go to prove the rule that teaching for the average woman who enters into it is a permanent Job. There are various reasons for this, one being that the nature of her calling is such that it brings her in contact with few desirable specimens of the opposite sex. Another is that the labor commonly required of her is so arduous and exhausting that she is In no mood or condition during her few leisure hours to enter into the social pursuits whereby man is inveigled into matrimony; or, if she does engage in them, by reason of the exactions of her profession she is seldom able to shine sufficiently to attract the hovering but elusive male person. In effect, therefore, the teacher lives much the life of a nun and is far from being the uncertain quantity of the school trustees' cherished tradition. In order to keep up the convenient fiction that she is not to be depended on and thereby be able to maintain her salary at its present narrow limit without question, it would bo the part of wisdom and consistency for trustees nnd superintendents to encourage matrimony among their teachers, even to the extent of establishing a bureau or agency for that purpose. So far from doing that, along comes the superintendent of the Hammond (Ind.) schools and discharges a teacher who by unusual fortune is active and popular in social life and has a string of male admirers. There is no charge against her other than her disposition to forget her school when she is out of it, and to disport herself after the manner of other girls, but because of this she must "go." And there you are. What is a poor teacher to do? According to the Hammond dictum she lias no right to look upon a man. however fascinating, but must cast down her eyes and silently pass him by. Rut suppose she is so impressed by the presidents views that she feels her duty to marry and dis courage race suicide to be greater than that impelling her to spend her life training the ideas of other people's young ones; must she first, before the husband is selected or captured, resign her school? It looks that way. run negro problem. The title given by both Booker T "Washington and Dr. lelix Adler to t:,. ir address s yesterday, "The Negro Problem." was unnecessarily modest. In each case the address might fittingly have been called. "The Solution of the Negro Problem." For the problem was pot left a problem, suspended In mid-air. It was brought down to fearth and the remedy pointed out.

Dr. Washington's remarks had to do more with the concrete than did Dr. Adler's. He skillfully described how negro leadership grows, how it results from action, how it is nothing without the deed. Tuskegee started making bricks by making them, not by making recipes. It failed a number of times until Mr. "Washington had to pawn his own watfh In order to get the money wherewith to continue the effort. And now millions of bricks are yearly made at the institution. Hald Dr. Adler, in effect, to lead is not to condescend, but to do. The white man by helping the negro helps himself; the negro by helping the negro helps himself; by effort and genuine accomplishment only can either of them become leaders. Dr. Adler's plea was ub much for the leader as for the

man leu. 1'eopio condescend to ho lea i only a little while by the man who I condescends to lead. But they desire to bo helped. Such desires are Insatiable. True leadership Is assistance. Dr. Adler made reference to the young colored man of high education, and said he had often wondered whether such an one must not often feel very lonely, removed from white companionship on the one hand, and equally apart from his own race on the other. But, on Inquiry, he had found that they had no such feelings. Their duty was so very plain that they could not doubt for a moment in what direction It led. "Every young negro who leaves college inspired by the cultured person's desire to be of use has this advantage over the white graduate he cannot feel any doubt as to where his duty leads. It leads him among his own people." New York Globe. WHAT MAN' SHOULD HAT. Those who do not want to rank as extremists will do well to eschew the glandular organs, such as sweetbreads and liver, to pin their faith to mutton and one or two kinds of fish, to give up coffee and drink weak China tea. Those who wish to go further should reflect first that man is neither carnivorous nor herbivorous. For long scientists have obscured the view by useless arguments as to whether or not a man was meant to live like a cow. There are other species than the flesh and grass-eating animals; all students of comparative anatomy know now that the teeth of human beings are Identical with those of the frugivorous apes who live in fruits and nuts. Not only so, but the proportion of bowel length to body length in man corresponds exactly with that in the same species in marked contrast to what obtains In all carnivorous animals where the bowel is proportionately short. A study of anatomy therefore suggests a fruit diet as the most suitable; further confirmation is afforded by the obvious prediction of nearly all children for such food. The best fruits for food are apples, bananas, grapes, nuts, raisins and figs. Nuts are especially valuable owing to the large amount of fat they contain; the old fashioned idea that they are Indigestible is due partly to the error in taking them at the end of an already more than ample meat meal, and partly to insufficient mastication. Chestnuts are the easiest to digest and make an excellent food. Many other fruits may be taken, always remembering that the stone friuts sometimes disagree, and that acid fruits should be taken in moderation. Strawberries contain a considerable amount of purin and should be avoided by all with a gouty or rheumatic tendency. Among fruits we include those of the cereals, such as wheat and rice, v. hue bread is free from purin, but brown contains a varying amount, uenveu noiu me husk. The most wholesome form of bread is unleavened. r rom the Lan cet. PROVING THEIR WORK. Mr. Wilson, the mathematician, says: "Some bookkeepers, instead of footing long and heavy columns of figures the second time, prove their work by the elimination of nines. Thus: 53, CDS, total of digits 31; divided by 9, equals 3 and 4 over. 18,973, total of digits 28; divided by 9, equals 3 and 1 over. 42,079, total of digits 28; divided by 9, equals 3 and 1 over. 37.S62, total of digits 26; divided by 9, equals 2 and 8 over. 54,716, total of digits 23; divided by 9, equals 2 and 5 over. 207. 92S. "The sum of the remainders is 19, which, divided by 9, equals 2 and 1 over. The sum of the digits of the grand total is 2S. which, divided by 9, equals 2 and 1 over. When these last noted remainders are identical (as in thi3 case) each being 1 it Is a proof that the 207,928 Is a correct total. The same principle applies, of course, to fifty numbers as well as five, and Is a very valuable as well as interesting way of proving the correctness of addition." Strength of Organized Labor Abroad. The fraternal delegates sent to the national trade-union bodies abroad brought back interesting reports of the strength of the movement in Great Britain and on the continent. The British unions have 1.SS9.5D0 members; those of the Netherlands. 37,221; Denmark, S9.7SS; Sweden, 104.999; Norway, 16.227; Germany, 1.4t55.625 ; Austria, 20.1.651: Hungary, D3,lt)9; Servla, 2.932; Bulgaria. 1.672; Switzerland, 41, $62; Italy. 260,102; Spain, 56,900. These together with the carefully estimated membership in France and Belgium, roll up a grand total of 4.962,314. of whom only 82.000 are women. Adding the American membership, there are on this showing 6.476.000 men and women enrolled in the affiliated labor unions of the world. Their adherents, of course, number many millions more. Chicago News. Gallantry on the Dollar Basis. Young women lament that the young man is not gallant that is, the eligible young man; that he is not so attentive as in the days when mother was a girl, and that he lacks qualities of which grandmother is wont to prate. This is a serious charge, coming from the winsome girl ti today, but perhaps the fault lies not so much with the young man as with the requirements of the times. Every young man of today must make his way at least, the

young fellow who expects to broaden out in this great world and do things; the fellow with whom the winsome young woman is willing to trust her future not the dude and the triller, who inherits that which he spends, and who stands for nothing save his own moneyed worthlessness. Perhaps the girl of today accepts too much. Mamma and grandma walked to tiie show or to the social events of the day, and the old-timers recall with glee the delightful promenades which these opportunities afforded. And they also had a way of lessening expenditures, so that the gallant of that day did not feel that lie was verging on bankruptcy in keeping up his part. Th' eligible young men of today professes to find conditions different. When questioned why he is not more attentive, he usually responds, "I do not care to." This is an untruth. The young man does not live, at least he Is not worthy of existence, who is Indifferent to the fair sex, and when pinned down he is frank enough to say, "I can not afford it." And he will explain, "My girl friends are lofty; I have a lowly salary." Or, "My intentions are good enough and if I had the money I would make society know my quality." We believe the young man magnifies conditions to justify himself. Grandmamma and mamma saw no necessity for a carriage, nor for the highestpriced seats at the play on all occasions, and the odds are . great that grandma and mamma never accepted after-theatre lunches in downtown cafes. They saw no necessity for these accessories, and promptly said "no." We believe, also, that the girl of today would be like the grandma and mamma of old, if the young man had the good sense and honesty of purpose frankly to say that he could not afford these things. The sensible girl of today is no more difficult to please than the girls of former generations, when she understands the situation. It does not lie with her to question the financial condition of her escort. He should have the manliness to avoid extravagances he cannot afford, and If the young woman is worthy of attention she will honor his detei mination. There Is no sense in the young man thinking he cannot be gallant except on the dollar basis. There are ways in which he can be attentive and show proper appreciation for the young woman, and In doing so there is no reason why the friendly relations between himself and his pocketbook should be disturbed. There Is the church and the social gathering, tho lecture and the neighborhood club, and so on indefinitely all giving opportunities for that better acquaintance which may ripen into a union insuring long years of contentment, prosperity and mutual self-respect. Indianapolis News.

England's Colonies. ' Does England's path point the way of Greece and Rome? The twentieth century, it is clear, will see n constant expansion of England's sphere in Africa, and a British development of that continent through companies analogous to the chartered companies, like the Hudson Bay, which made England great in the seventeenth century. In other parts of the world, her tendency is even more obviously retrenchment. The other day the British garrison on Saint Helena was withdrawn, and left that island, for the first time in two hundred years, without a redcoat. In May the last British garrison In Canada packed its bayonets and rifles and sailed out of Vancouver for England. The recessional passed unnoticed, as an incident in the unpreeeived change of peace; if it had been done under stress of hostile arms the whole world would have been awed and thrilled to look at such a spectacle as the British army giving up a dominion where it has, for two hundred years, been the ultimate authority. Unless it be a few in British Honduras, or in British Guiana, there is now no soldier of the empire on western continent. Soldiers' and garrions, of course, are but the banners and helmets of national life; these changes might be attributed to the approach of universal peace and passed by as insignificant, were they not accompanied by signs less obvious but more real. Suppose Japan should call upon England as a part of their alliance to compel Canada to admit Japanese on equal terms with other foreigners? The empire would not dare invite such a test of authority over her daughter of the snows. The most talked-about book In England today describes the fine tradition of British sovereignty over Canada and Australia as "impotent" and only saved from being ridiculous "because it has learned the timid wisdom not to court rebuffs." In Canada today statesmen In high position privately predict the complete severing of England and Canada within ten years, and count among the possibilities of their own careers responding in the capitol at Washington to the call of "the senator from Manitoba," The slender thread of the governor generalship may be severed as imperceptibly as a man wakes up one day to find he has gray hair.

Between Trains A DRILLER ALL RIGHT. An Irishman looking for work took his stand in a group at the gate of a large engineering establishment.

NEW YORK LETTER. Now York, Nov. 30. Despite all the adverse legislation that has been printed in the newspapers pertaining ; to the Nort n Pacific and Northern railroads, these two stocks were the leaders in the upward move ment in the stock market today. Although thu volume of trade was not large und tho market had all tho appearances of a holiday mood, northern Pacific advanced over three points and Great Northern two. The buying was of an excellent character und as usual it was ascribed to the interests close to the Hill management. A surprise was sprung on the trade today when Tennessee Coal & Iron s..dd "ex-rights" at $$ per share and the quotation on the original transaction was practically the same as the last business day. This represented a rise in the value of the shares of over eight points for the day. It, however, has been well understood In the street that the stock was cornered and the entire capitalization is owned by one f the larger western operators. The outside interest in the stock is so small that its sensational advance was almost ignored. Brokerage houses as a rule for months have refused to accept trades In Tennessee Coal & Iron, except for cash. The call loan rate today was again higher, loans being made as high as 25 per cent. This is not particularly unusual at this time of the year as the large payment of dividends falling due around the first of December always causts a stringency in the call loan market. The market as a whole was inclined to sluggishness with losses apparent early in the session in such stocks as St. Paul, Reading. I'nlon Pacific, Southern Pacific and Copper. AH of these active stocks showed losses ranging from one-half to one point. Notwithstanding the high rates prevailing for call loans, stocks regained their early weakness and closed strong at about the highest prices of the session. NEW YOHK STOCK MARKET Descpt.

Wire to Lake County Times. HEARD ON THE BOURSE o?Z Trk; -VV- 80-"Way market rllhe JSU. xy -as not ---o... ...ut 11 prot.aely will be todav an any other kind ... ., of a market at uv ox me year, traders would he put up Union Pacific $10 per shara c.i the most wonderful annual staterailroad company. It Wu5 aU thafc and the verdict Is he was justified in i per cent dividends. Ont e authority says the, mnrV. y Professional. No particular action In the market. Think monev will go above 10 per cent, on call "and look for a somewhat lower market. The holidays. 7 U t,..r n..,,. the - - 4 - - i i e 1 , e y early opening of congress, and th president's message, which is not bo drastic tills time except on the incomo and inheritance tax, all have a restraining t-ffeet. The paying out of $70,000,000 dividends Monday will loosen up monty by the middle of next week. The Union Pacific report shows $34,000,000 loaned out. This is only exceeded by a half dozen banks In the country. This railroad company la really a big bank, as well as a railroad. This tremendous loan of lta cash is a big surprise to the street. No Idea was entertained of such figures. It certainly looks as if 200 is at least a moderate estimate for the stock in the near future. American stocks in London aro verystrong and the settlement proceedings satisfactorily. Not much demand for stock in the loan crowd. Looks as if market pretty well evened up. Estimated that copper will show earnings of $30,000,000 net for the coming year. London expects to loosa next week to Brazil. $10,000,000 Virginia Chemical It being boomed on the consolidation with Cotton Oil, but these obscure stocks are hard to put up. The public will not tako to them. Denver was put up by London buying. The earnings and position of this road entitles it to a great deal higher prices, and as soon as the money market gets In better shape you will eee tills stock start. Steel had a record month in October, the biggest in the history of the company and November will beat that. The net earnings for this quarter will exceed the last and if it were possible to manufacture the stuff the company could sell 25 per cen. more than it ia now doing. The demand is so urgent that they are even offering to pay premiums for spot steel. Brooklyn is trying to go higher, but it can only do so on the shorts. Thera Is again some talk about paying a dividend, but after a ride over the road everybody will agree that some of tho earnings. If they ever have any. can be spent on the rotten road bed for a few new rails. London was a big buyer of stocks all day especially St. Paul and Union Pacific. They seem to recognize a gooX report over there. Illinois Central is being quietly taken by either Fish or Harriman. Nobody can say which, but the stock is disappearing from the street. The bond market is absolutely no good and this is a bad thing for a bull market in stcoks. This year it Is laid to the craze in real estate and to tha mining stock speculation. Republic Iron and Steel has sold all of its production for the first half of 1S07 and is now working contracts for the second half of the year. Railway Steel Springs, It is reported, will raise the dividend on the common stock from 4 to 5 per cent, at it3 next meeting. Tha report Is also current that this company will soon be absorbed by the American Locomotive company, but the 5 per cent, will be paid first, no it will go into the deal at a higher price. Boston and Montana Copper company will soon show earnings of $14,500,000 per year. It only costs this company 4-9 cent per pound to produce and sell its copper. Bank of England bought over $2,000,000 gold in the open market. Copper metal has been sold by th metal selling company up to March at 22 cents, practically all of its receipts, while some near-by deliveries are u to 22 4 cents per pound. Nobody wht is producing copper is willing to selj any beyond March at even 22 4 centa The talk is 25 cents per pound. 1 V C H. WANZER STOCK AND BOND BROKER.
