Solomon Schecbter, the noted theologian and author upon whom Harvard conferred the honorary degree of Litt. D. at Its recent commencement. was born in Iloumanta, July 7, 1S49, and received his education in the universities of Berlin and Vienna. After completing his education he went to England and for some years was a member of the faculty of the Univer sity of Cambridge. Under the direction of the university he traveled exten sively in Italy, Palestine, Egypt and other countries for the purpose of ex amining Hebrew literature. After lea ving England Dr. Schechter came to America and for the past ten years he has been president of the faculty of the Jewish Seminary of America. Beating Him at His Own Game. A solicitor looked iu great astonishtent at a yokel who had just offered him a threepenny bit in payment for advice. -What Is this for 7 he asked. "My fee Is six and eightpence." The countryman smiled. "That be nil right, aur!" ht replied. "Six aud eightpence make fourteen pence; fourteen pence be one and twopence, and. sure enough, one and twopence make threepence.

A Park System
The announcement that all the stock has been sold by the Commercial Club for the improvement of the Hawkins property is good news. Were it merely private enterprise this paper would feel that the project is more than that in its benefits to the town. We do not know whether the citizens of Richmond knqw Mr. Richard Lieber of Indianapolis. He is the president of the Indianapolis Trade Association. More than that, he is one of the leaders of the effective forces which are trying to turn Indianapolis into a progressive city. It is not more than a week since Lieber viewed the gorge of the Whitewater from the train and asked what this town was doing to keep the best of it not only for ourselves but for the children who are to come. The answer was as favorable aspossible for the town. "We have been thinking of making a boulevard as a part of the park system clear round the park which you will pass through later on the train and in that way we hope to have something better than any city in Indiana has." Lieber listened in an interested fashion looked at the gorge and Bald: "You have a good start I hope you succeed." Then it was explained that farther to the cast lies the best park in Indiana, that north of it is the Hawkins property, that then there followed down the river a natural boulevard and that an attempt has been made by the purchase of some west side land on the river bank to start the movement of preserving what we can of the natural beauty of the Whitewater. We wish there were more Llebcr's in the world. He has helped Indianapolis more than many an American man born although he has been in this country only a few years. He has risen in his community through the force of doing something for the town in which he livess and the state in which he lives and he took on the spur of the moment an interest in the city of Richmond which is not usually seen in the mere traveler. We started out by telling what we thought of the Hawkins improvement which is to be detailed at the Commercial Club next Monday night. We hope that this is not the end of it. Whether by public or by private improvement we hope that the center of this town shall be the most beautiful park system in Indiana. The man or boy or woman or girl who does not know the beauty of the Whitewater valley in the spring time in the summer, and in the late fall has missed something which is a part of his or her heritage. The Whitewater with its river road is a part of this country The Whitewater from the Water Works to Abington is no mere country creek. Have you ever made a canoe trip from Richmond to the Ohio through Brookvillo. until the Miami claims the credit for it. If you have seen it you will not debate about the wisdom of thinking about saving the limeStone cliffs and the River Road. The time is coming when we shall not have the Whitewater and when it will not be as easy to save this for a park system. - It would bo worth all the money that is anywhere likely to be put into it to have a reaf landscape architect brought in. He could tell of exact problems to be met. We hope that both the public and private benellts of this Hawkins project will be a part of such a sch eme.
MANY NEW LAWS GO INTO EFFECT TODAY (National News Association) Lincoln, Neb., July 7. Many of the laws passed at the recent session of the Nebraska legislature went into ef fect today. One prohibits any person under the age of 18 from using tobacco in any form. Another prohibits all public exhibitions of hypnotism or mesmerism. Another provides heavy penalties for persons concerned in the "white slave" traffic and makes it competent for a wife to testify against her husband in such cases. Railroads and Life Insurance. The extent to which life insurance funds have backed up the transportation Industry is surely not a matter for regret American railroads are the backbone of American industrial progress. Had the stream of life insurance Investments been deflected in another direction, bad the companies invested more largely in mortgage loans, which It might have been to their advantage to do If they had been smaller and less centralized Institutions, our railroad development would not have been what it Is today and the name of the "Great America a desert" would have been till on the map. Railroads might almost be described as the byproducts of old line life insurance. Thomas Scanlon In Moody's Magazine. The Elements of Character. Greatness of character is a communicable attribute. It has nothing exclusive lu its nature. It cannot be the monopoly of an individual, for it is the enlarged and generous action of faculties and affections which enter into and constitute all minds I mean reason, conscience and loveso that its elements exist In all.

The Porcupine. Mother Nature surely must have stout to make "something different" tn day she Invented the porcupine. Her. was un animal with a pathetically mild disposition, without cunning , courage and almost ns slow and clum sy as a turtle. It would have bee: absurd to give him weapons of dt fense; he would never have tbenetg. to attack anything, so he was given : coat of mail in which he might wall abroad among his enemies and yet 1 as safe as though he were behind ,i wall of steel. His upper part.s. fron his nose to the tip of his thick, ruuscu lar tail, are covered with a mass oi sharp pointed quills Intermixi-d witb coarse hair. Each quill is provided witb a number of minute barbs pointing backward, so that when it is once Inserted in the flesh of any animal the mere movement of the muscles will cause it to work deeper and deeper.

Heart to Heart Talks. By EDWIN A. NYE. Copyright. 1908, by Edwin A. Nye FORWARD MARCH! Pnt your life in front of you where It belongs. Live In the future, not in the past Because you are built that way. You are built to go forward, just as a boat Is built to run forward and not backward. If the boat backs it Is only that it may go forward again. Do not be a crawfish. The crawfish naturally goes backward. It Is its normal locomotion. It goes forward only by effort. You are by nature an optimist. If you have become a pessimist it is because you are abnormal. Yon are warped. You are sicu In body or in mind. Men must go forward. Nations must make progress. There's the Hebrew nation the optimistic nation. The early Hebrews put the golden age In the future, not in the past. Their prophets always looked to a better day ahead, when "instead of the thorn shall come up the myrtle tree." They were Idealists. Therefore the race owes them much. They gave us something to look for ahead There's the. Japanese. Their history Is tbe opposite. For century after century they looked only Into tbe past. They worshiped their ancestors. Their communion was not with the quick, but tbe dead. There fore they got nowhere and they contributed nothing to mankind. Only as they have turned their faces partly to the future have they done things. And you! Live your normal life. Let the dead past bury Its dead. Let go of yesterday when it is done. Live for tomorrow. Project your life. Push into the full flower of tomorrow tbe bud that today is ready to bloom. Do not mourn for the chance that Is dead, for the "mill will never grind with the water that is past. Why do men die? Because they have nothing to live for, hope for, strive for. Forward march! "And tbe Lord said to Moses, Speak onto tbe children of Israel that they go forward." ' Let the leeks of Egypt go. Tbe land of milk and honey Is yon! A box of Price's elegant chocolates, you would enjoy. COMES QUICKLY Don't Have to Wait for Weeks A Week's Illustration. Waiting is discouraging. Prompt action pleases everybody.

Whenever an attack of backache or any other symptom of kidney complaint appears, Doan's Kidney Pills are used and they never fail to bring relief. I have no hesitation in recommending this remedy."

NEWS OF THE LABOR WORLD
The Ironmolders International Union has held no convention for three years. The average age at which factory employes begin work in Hungary and Spain is ten years. In the Netherlands the predominant hours of labor in most industries arc ten to eleven per day. In Italian factories and workshops more than three-fourths of the employes work ten to eleven hours a day. The Factory Workers' Union in Germany increased iits membership from 141,024 to 167,097 in the year of 1910. All the stationary firemen in Los Angeles, California, are now at work under union conditions as to hours and wages. In the metal industries in Belgium nearly half the men work from nine to ten hours a day, and the majority of the rest from ten to eleven. The latest move on the part of the Canadian Pacific railway management is the displacement of colored employes and the introduction of Japanese. The mass of French Canadian have been workers on the farm and in the forests and almost entirely out. of touch with industrial life in shops, mills, or factories. The International Boot and Shoe Workers' Union at its recent convention reelected all Its officers, including President Tobin and decided to hold the next convention at Montreal in 1913. T.ie International Association of Machinists recently reached an agreement with the Michigan Central Railroad company for an increase in wages, the rate now being 34 Vz cents an hour flat rate.

For the first time in the history of the American labor movement, a serious effort is under way to establish the minimum wage by law. A vigorous campaign will be conducted by the unions throughout the country. About eight thousand mechanics on the Southern railway have been granted a wage increase that will likely be extended to the Seaboard Air Line, the Atlantic Coast Line, the N. & W. and the C. & O., affecting nine thousand
men. The members of the Boston Bargers' Union are willing to eliminate tipping, but under the condition that they re ceive an increase in wages. A meet
