REAL PHILANTHROPY.
A Des Moines philanthropist has
started a movement that enterprising
individuals In other cities might pat
tern after. This philanthropist has
organized a school of finance among
100 boys. He has planned a three
year course In finance. Each of the
100 boys has been given a dollar to
which he has added 50 cents, the
31.50 being placed in a bank to the
credit of each boy as the nucleus for
the greater sum each depositor hopes
to have accummulated at the end of
three years. The boys will be en
couraged to save, and there will be
the stimulus of small contributions
from the club benefactor the total
each boy will have received, at the
end of three years, being $12. Then
there are other provisions which
make it possible for the boys to re
ceive further gifts when they become
of age.
The club will be a good thing for
the boys, for one reason, because
there will be competition in indus
try. The average boy has pride. He
will not want to be badly distanced
Dy any of his friends. He will put
iorth his best efforts. If ho Is at all
"industrious he will have a creditable
showing by the end of the three-year
period, and having made a good
showing for three years he will keep
it up. The average boy has an in
dustrious streak in his make-up.
Sometimes it is deeply hidden, but It
3s there, and the proper Inducement
will bring It out. It simply needs
the encouragement of competition
and education.
But this Des Moines philanthro
pist ho Is a real philanthropist
-contemplates something besides the
idevelopment of money-making and
-money saving instincts. To educate
Jjoys merely along the financial side
of their nature would make them
selfish. He proposes that the boys
.shall refrain from those things which
"boys often indulge In and which harm
mind and body. He nledges his boys
to refrain from using tobacco and
liquor, and not to gamble, nor use
n:ofano language evils which are a
'.very great hindrance to the proper
t dovo'opment of youth of public school
;rago. He knows the school boy is In
-the habit-forming period, and If only
good habits are formed, there need
tte no fear that he will fall Into evil
ways when he comes Into manhood's
estate.
This philanthropy will cost its in
stigator qulto a sum of money, but it
will bo money well expended. The
boys themselves, or those who stick
to the program they have mapped
'out will never fully realize tho value
this practical philanthropy has been
to them.
THE WESTERNER.
Onco In a while an eastern editor
may bo found who by some means
Sias discovered tho actual situation
in tho west nnd what tho western
man nnd womnn represent. Tho fol
lowing from Harper's Weekly conies
-vory nearly being a satisfactory re
sume of what tho "westerner" typl
ziles: "No honest mind," says the eastern
writer who gives this tribute, "can
-fall to recognize tho wholesomeness
of tho atmosphere which envelopes
tthese big, loan, bronzed, stnlwnrt
toons of Anak; none can question the
ffull filncorlty of purpose lndlcnted by
tthe liearty grasp of hand, tho
-straightforward gazo from tho clear
oyos.; none can contomplato without
a-ogTct tho utter misconception of tho
.spirit of this community which per
vades tho east. Tlieso inon of tho
-west are not fanatics; tlioy arc not
nflvon radicals nt heart. For our
selves, wo say emphatically that we
liavo no approhonslou of any serious
.disaster overtaking tho republic so
long ns ihoso strong hearted, pure
minded men continue to bo ns thoy
miro. Thoy nro good men. Thoy nro
not given ovor to projudlco; thoy
vnnt to reason, and lnck not candot
In admitting themselves to be In the
wrong when fairly convinced. And
while they require Information re
specting their fellow countrymen,
their need Is far less than that of
the thousands of easterners who as
sume the "what's-the-use" attitude
and classify all westerners as cranks.
Again we say, the western man Is the
true American. He has the tine
spirit, whose outputs are energy, fair
play and kindliness."
A REVIEW.
While our recent editorial review
of trade conditions throughout the
country covers In a comprehensive
way the present situation, still later
developments have been of such a
character as to call for still further
comment along this line.
Recent press dispatches from Pa
cific cosst centers bear us out in our
contention that business In every line
is steadily increasing, and already
dealers in lumber and other building
materials on the coast have made a
slight advance In the price of these
commodities. This movement bids
fair to become general throughout
the country and is an excellent In
dication that we have fully recovered
from the effects of the late business
Jepresslon and that during the com
ing year we will be in a more pros
perous condition than ever before.
The opportunities for building
cheaply are now the greatest in
many years. Not only can a big
saving be made In the cost of con
struction but the returns on the In
vestment will justify the expenditure
at this time. Our slogan should ever
be "Onward" and to this end we
must work day and night in order
that our hopes may be realized. Ap
point yourself a committee of one to
further the best Interests of this
community. You can rest assured
the results accomplished will be
greater than your fondest hopes.
RECEIPTS OP STATES
FROM NATIONAL FORESTS
Announcement has just been made
of the amounts which each state con
fining national forests will receive
under the new law giving 25 per
cent of the gross receipts from for
ests to these states. The total amount
to go to the states, from the receipts
of the fiscal year which ended June
30, is ?447,0C3.79.
The amounts to go to each state
or territory are: Alaska, $2,684.78;
Arizona, $42,610.44; Arkansas,
$313.68; California, $52,437.78;
Colorado, $50,955.67; Idaho, $56,
307. S4; Kansas, $643.55; Montana,
$75,S07.41; Nebraska, $2,349.77;
evada, $4,577.95; New Mexico,
$25,464.12; Oklahoma, $554. 4S;
Oregon, $32,313.52; South Dakota,
$8,456,60; Utah, $32,151.02 (In
cluding Uinta Indian refund of $5,
348.07); Washington, $18,032.79,
and Wyoming, $41,402.38.
The law requires that this money
be expended upon public roads and
schools by the counties which con
tain national forest lnnd. In this
way the counties are compensated for
the reduction of taxable area brought
about by the existence of the forests.
Before this year the states have
-ecclved 10 per cent of the gross re
ceipts, but congress voted last winter
to Increase the amount to 25 per
cent.

With the Toast and Tea
THE HYPOCRITES.
The church and the school and the golden rule have reigned In tho world
so long,
Men dare not slay In the olden way and practice the grosser wrong;
So they make small use of the hangman's noose to put their enemies by.
They sell them wealth on paper writ; no more with weapons they thrust
and hit, they kill with the printed lie.
But, you, who prey In a genteel way, on folk, and Juggle the truth,
And with the specious printed He cast ruined thousands bare and high
with neither nlty'nor ruth
Remember this as you sell and buy a death for a death the soul must die,
And the law demands an eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth.
The hypocrites lay In the depths of hell, where the sheer black mountains
rise;
The night was dense with fear intense and full of a thousand eyes,
And jagged flames like broken swords stabbed into the lurid skies.
Plained one to a demon at his side, "I ever revealed the light
In books of worth to the people on earth, and God has given me night."
Then answered a devil, "Full loud you He. Y'ou chaine'd with appearance
of truth
A million men in the mine's dank air, and, lolling around In a Morris
chair,
Y'ou swore that the system In vogue was fair, and slay them, elder and
youth "
And a death for a death the soul must die, and the law demanded an
eye for an eye,
And a tooth for a tooth."
Wailed a hypocrite on a bed of ice, with the parchment face of an ape,
Huddled aheap mere life to keep, a grotesque, piteous shape,
"Aye, me, aye me, full mercilessly the Father doth me entreat."
Then by his side a devil replied, "You cornered the market In wheat;
Y'ou bided till winter came .arid then you juggled the price of coal,
And sent to heaven and eke to hell full many a frozen soul;
To free you of smirch you bullded a church and founded a Sunday school
With crafty lore your office door was hung with the golden rule;
And this might blind and cheat mankind, but the eye of God, in sooth,
Looks through and through what people do, till It pierces the Inner
truth;
So you die the death you made men die, for the law requires an eye for
an eye.
And a tooth for a tooth."
They tied one down with a serpent dire, they flayed him bare of his
skin
With unclean talons which stung like fire, till his nerves lay white and
thin.
They drag him off to a mountain side, him there in a cleft they wedge
Where the knives of the wind with cuts unkind slash like a razor edge.
For ho as a man was seoming good, through policy, not through heart;
He gathered dollars and made them breed; he tithed the church with
the gain of greed,
Invested millions in art
But ever In mine and field and mill he held, at the lowest wage,
Thousands of men with wives to keep, and children to feed; he got them
cheap,
And cast them aside In their age.
Yea! He as a man gave none their due, but charity doled, forsooth,
Which means to rive a million away and render a dime in ruth
But a death for a death the soul must die, and the law demands an
eye for an eye,
And a tooth for a tooth.
One, cunningly cruel, they nourlshe 1 with gruel which ever turned
molten lead,
And would he eat of a morsel of meit, he chewed on a cinder Instead.
"Now nay, now nay, for I'll havo my say; God useth me 111," he said,
"For I have given tho thirsty drink, have given the hungry bread."
"Now, loud you've lied," a devil replied, "and your tongue plays fast and
loose;
What? Coffee and buns to God's own sons to get your name In the
News?
But It Isn't what's done that counts with him; he measures by deeds
well meant,
And back of tho deed he aye must r'ad the spirit or good intent."
And so they sit forever, bit by serpents as fierce as fire,
Hypocrite crouched by hypocrite, an 1 the demons never tire
At killing them over and over again, just as on earth they did to men;
So the laws of the Lord require;
For a man may pray till his hair grws gray, may ape the charities, too,
parfay, build churches, collegss every day. But his soul must live
tho truth;
And a death for a death the soul must die, and the law demands an eye
for an eye,
And a tooth for a tooth.
