At 11 it .. ! the American Beauty rose. As ne grows oiaer mere are increasing signs of a serious effect on his part to dis charge the duties to his fellowmen which his father's great fortune cast upon him in a conscientious, intelligent and sympathetic manner and spirit. The father believed too much in judging of things and of treating men in the abstract, as if they were mere machines and not living suffering souls. The young man's visit to the Colorado mines and miners has proved that he is determined at last to under stand at first hand the facts of that grave problem. Managers, especially managers who have risen themselves from the ranks, are the least to be trusted in a labor crisis. A half-breed overseer was always the crudest on the slavery plantation. It is real progress for Young Rockefeller to discover that he is his brother's keeper to the extent, at least, of knowing at first hand how his employes are treated and that for this knowledge he cannot depend wholly upon reports of managers. Under the plan now proposed by Mr. Rockefeller, and accepted by his employes, the miners are to be represented by one delegate to be elected for each 150 miners. There are to be four committees selected by the delegates thus chosen and by the mine owners, with six members, three miners and three owners, on each committee. One of these committees will deal with settlement of labor dif ferences, one with safety first accidents, one with health and housing and one with recreation and education. The company pledges itself that there shall be no dis crimination on account of membership in any society or union This of course means open shop and will be the chief bone of contention. The plan of operation as to labor disputes is as follows: Any miner who, or group of miners, have a grievance ..... ..1 1 Ail i must submit the case to the memoer or tne proper commit-1 tee who is elected by the miners of his own camp or mine.! This representative must'first try to settle the trouble with the man's foreman or superintendent. If this fails1 he may go before the joint committee which deals with disputes' of its kind, and if this committee fails to adjust; the difference it shall be settled either by arbitration or by( the Colorado state industrial commission as the miners may choose. It is interesting to note that pending the discussion of this plan the company agrees not to increase the rent ol houses or cost of light beyond a price agreed upon; that there shall be no charge for water except where the com pany purchases it anil then the miners get it at cost; the company will remove garbage without charge; to en courage cultivating gardens the lots will be fenced with out charge; the company will continue to supply bath "houses and club houses in the nature of social settlements, and eight hours shall constitute a day's work for all un derground workers, excluding the noon hour. And all this comes from Young Rockefeller's personal visit to the miners and therein lies the hope of his suc cessful operation of the great properties of which he is the head. Personal investigation and close contest with conditions as they really are. He will come to know their wishes and desires and they will feel that he is in terested in their welfare as well as in the profitable opera tion of the mines. A New York reporter had an extremely good time recently writing up the story of a man who had gone to sleep, drunk, upon the trolley tracks of upper Broadway, taking great care to put his new shoes out of harm's way, but allowing his head to rest on the rail. The fender of an approaching car threw him from the tracks, inflicting a scalp wound. His shoes, however, were altogether un injured. : We can think of no greater folly than the attempt to put one's shoes out of danger, disregarding altogether the safety of one's head. But, after all, do we not, every day, see people doing things equally absurd? What about providing for the safety and pleasure of the body with utter disregard for the safety of the soul? We plan to have seventy years of pleasure and prosperity, while the preparation for eternity is neglected. We plan to protect the trifling things we have accumu lated here, jewels, money, houses, land, and take no care to protect the immortal soul. Is that saner than the sleepy mutterings of the drunken man: "I will save my shoes, in ever mind my head. John Smith, one of a numerous and respectable com pany by that name, made complaint the other day at the free legal aid department of the board of public welfare at Kansas City, and he gave all his testimony in writing; not a word would he speak. His companion explained that at the time of his mother's death twenty years ago Smith took a vow that he'd never speak another word, and so far he has kept it. The vows of men are oft-times strange and past finding out. Today all the baseball experts of the country are ex plaining that it wasn't much of a game anyway. If the public paid any attention to this class of fellows it would refuse to buy tickets for the remainder of the series. It must have been a real hard earthquake. Some of! those eastern Oregon towns were never shocked before. Some old story Serbians are whipping the Germans and the Germans are licking the Serbians.

You and old Jack Johnsing, both, Henry James, swore a great and mighty oath, Henry James, to abjure your native land; it was ostracised and banned, by the pair of you, self-canned, Henry James. It is sad, and yet a joke, Henry James, that the Author and the Smoke, Henry James, should line up on foreign shores, there to shut and bolt the doors what a brace of two-by-fours, Henry James! We have lost our Hank and Jack, Henry James, and we hope you won't come back, Henry James; you have snub bed us pretty hard, soaked us one beneath the guard, and we turn you down, old pard, Henry James. You and Johnsing may abide, Henry Jim, far across the raging tide, Henry Jim, roaming Europe hand in hand, while this desolated land goes ahead to beat the band, Henry Jim! . i Kiwjfflra & PMUUrtl.Vft.Jwt ! - tr. j . u Hm? nnrm $mmmm !
