Heart to Heart Talks. , By EDWIN A. NYE. Copyright, 1908, by Edwin A.Nye TEE BLESSING OF WOUK. "Justice." the play written by John Galsworthy, contains a flno teaching. A prisoner has made a saw with which to escape. He hides it In his mattress. Be rery well knows the penalty should the implement be discovered. Also he knows that should be escape in ell probability ho will be returned and for a longer time. The saw is found. And when the warden tells him of the slight chance of escape and the probability of return the prisoner miles grimly. Asked why be did not learn from experience "Well, if a good bit of work anyway, and it kept my mind off other thine." Bat.' continued the warden, did the prisoner not get sufficient work in the shops during regular hours? "Tea, but this Is my own. "And a good bit of work It is," repeated the prisoner, eying the crude implement fashioned by bis own hands. Nor would he promise to quit making His bit of work. Other than a means of escape, it solved a deeper problem the hungry craving to do something of himself. And It made him forget Tour work, my work how sometimes we flee from It as from an enemy! Whereas it is our good friend la disguise. It gives individual expression, enabling us to make the most of ourselves, and also It saves our sanity and assuages many a sorrow. Work! It offers to the sorrow laden surcease and the forgetting that quiets the heart It gives to the tired brain that betimes refuses to go on In orderly thought Its chance to drop Into the accustomed groove. It takes the hands that would wring themselves in hopeless despair and puts into them the familiar feel of the old, everyday tool. His' bit of work! How oftentimes we cling to ours as did the prisoner! Bare' the gnawing of the heart It Is all that is left to us. This Is My 37th Birthday LADY HELEN FORBES. Lady Helen Forbes, a leading light among the clever, cultivated English t women of the present day, was born In London, December 13, 1874. She Is the only surviving daughter of the third Earl of Craven and a sister to the present holder of the title. Her marriage with Ian Forbes, of Rothiemay, took place in 1901.

The Younger Generation.

ATTLEBORO, Mass., No more sensible article has been written than yours, published in the Wall Street Journal of Pecember 2d, 1911. But why try to get back to old times. Why not go ahead and get full swing of life! Why should'nt the children have candy and go to picture shows, and all the meat they want to eat? Why shouldn't we run riot and after us "the deluge." Is it possible to restrain that tendency, especially of the younger generation. Educated to extravagance, to not continue on the same lines until actual necessity forces them to the soil again as their ancestors were forced for a living? K is up to you to argue against the rising tendency of the youngsters. G. SHEFFIELD. This postal card came in the morning mail. However, we do not know which editorial article it is that our unknown friend has approved. But there is quite enough of a text in the postal card of Mr. Sheffield. "Is it possible to restrain the younger generation, etc." The Palladium has always been deeply interested in the "younger generation." Everyone connected with the Richmond Palladium has been and still is of the "younger generation." One of the things this paper has endeavored to bring about and to work for has been to make this a good place for young men to stay. Perhaps Mr. Sheffield of Attleboro, Mass., knows of the depopulation of the state in which he lives. Perhaps he knows of the great disproportion between the younger men in small New England towns and the number of girls. Very likely he knows what the effect has been on the prosperity of those towns and upon the morals of the community. Within the last few years Richmond has been ppoken of as a good place in which to live as a growing town as a place where business enterprises are prosperous, as a place of opportunities. The young men of a community can no more be separated from its prosperity than the new growth on the outside of a tree. In August when people wish to kill trees they strip this young bark off.

We gather that the editorial article that Mr. Sheffield comments on had something to do with the high cost of living. We are forcibly reminded of a communication which appeared in the American magazine for November the gist of which is that if people were satisfied to live under old conditions that the pay envelope would be ample. We are not so sure of this. The tabulations of the rise of price in commodities do not compare favorably with the rise In wages. These facts, Mr. Sheffield, have been ascertained not only from government and other sources, but from our own investigation in Richmond and Indianapolis. It is perfectly natural that these things will in time affect the "younger generation" even more than it is affecting them at the present time. It affects marriages, morals, the birth of children, the growth and vitality of the town the happiness, health and prosperity of the citizens. We do not believe that it is a bad thing for anybody's children to be "forced from actual necessity back to the soil." But we do believe that a much more dangerous thing is happening that children are being forced away from the soil. We have mighty little sympathy for the farmer boy if he hasn't enough ambition to become a scientific farmer. What we are interested in is the fact that there is a great disparity between prices and wages. It is perfectly absurd to say that we ought to be content to live in the old times when that is impossible or rather to expect that the younger generation shall not expect to get a fair proportion of the benefits of the state of society in which it exists. Sometime ago on Thanksgiving day we pointed out that in the early days of the settlement of this community it was an automatic adjustment by which practically every man received his compensation in relation to his efforts. We should be foolish to assert that it is anything than this that is stirring society. The younger generation has many faults but its folly will destroy if it is worthless. It is not with the worthless and foolish that we are concerned but with those who are deprived of their fair share through present day conditions. The "rising tendency of the youngsters" is doubtless at fault, but It is only the futile attemnt to live an aping life. Is the tendency to ape the "Four Hundred" very different from looking up to the leaders for an examnje? It seems to us that folly is evident from the highest to the lowest in extravagance of all sorts, but that this has no direct relation to the real struggle to keep the average cost of living in relation to the average wages. That is far different. The plea of the Palladium has not been for equality of men, for they must always vary in efficiency but that efficiency shall always have its just reward. Naturally if the "rising generation" wishes to pay the penalty of being Inefficient under such conditions it will simply raise the demand for efficiency and the reward. That Is the lookout of the "rising generation" but let us take one thing at a time.

He fling his hat across the dining room when he comes in from school or leaves it in all manner of places in the house, in the coal bin or on sister's bureau. He loses it Just at church time and spoils the spirit of family reverence and piety. As the family enters the church the anthem is being sung, and the disgrace of being late again is laid on the innocent headpiece clutched in the hand of the small boy who has already forgotten the confusion of which be was the cause twenty minutes ago. In this stage also one's hat Is removed on the way to school by the hand of one's bosom friend, passed down the line of surrounding boon companions, stuffed into others' pockets, while dire thoughts of ultimate loss hold one in their grip, and the reckoning to be paid at home wraps the world in tragedy. George L. Parker in Atlantic. Resde Wrote Standing. One peculiar fad with regard to his writing Charles Reade shared with other famous novelists he could not remain seated at a table, but did bis work standing at a high desk. This was characteristic also of Victor Hugo, who wrote the whole of "Ifs Miserables" standing. Wilkie Collins, too. declared that his thoughts flowed more freely when standing on his feet In direct contrast one recalls that Mark Twain did much of his work propped up in bed and that Sir Walter Scott found his brain clearest when reclining comfortably on a couch.

Politics and Politicians

Oshkosh, Wisconsin, has adopted the commission plan of government. Senator Wetmore of Rhode Island and Senator Guggenheim of Colorado, have announced their intentions to retire at the end of their present terms. The first presidential primary elections in the United States will be held in North Dakota on March 19 next. The Lotus club, a non-partisan political organization of New York city, is to have Governor Harmon of Ohio as its guest of honor next month. Next year in the presidential conventions of the two dominant parties, Republican and Democratic, there will be in each from 1,060 to 1,070 delegates. Ben F. Caldwell, formerly well known as a member of congress, has made announcement of his candidacy for the Democratic nomination for governor of Illinois. The Massachusetts Socialists just succeeded in getting at the November election the three per cent that entitles them to be called a party and to have a place on the official ballot. Presidential preference will be among matters submitted to the voters of Tennessee at the tSate primaries to be conducted by the "Independent" Democratic party next April. Like numerous other men who have attained prominence in public life Joseph A. Taggart, the new Democratic congressman from the Second Kansas district, began his career as a school teacher. A circumstance unknown to the average voter of today is that Pennsylvania was almost a reliably Democratic previous to 1860 as It has been robustly Republican ever since that year. As a rsult of the elections held last November the commission form of government has increased 10 per cent in the United States, measured by the population of the cities adopting it. United States Senator George P. Wetmore of Rhode Island, who is to retire next year on account of failing health, has been a member of the senate since 1894, with the exception of one year 1907 when his seat was vacant because of a deadlock in the legislature. Delaware next year will elect a complete set of State officers and a legislature which will elect the successor of United States Senator Harry A. Richardson, whose term will expire in 1913 and who has already announced that he will not be a candidate for re-election. Newton D. Baker, who recently was elected mayor of Cleveland by the large plurality of 18,000, is now being discussed by Ohio Democrats as a candidate for governor to succeed Governor Harmon.
