H 4 GOODWIN'S WEEKLY. H courage, even if they have misgivings as to the H soundness of their discretion. H None of the orators announced any program Hj except tho determination to continue to live. Had Colonel Ingersoll of Pocatcllo been present, it H would have been different. Indeed he has already H marked out the route of the party over its over- H land highway. He is generous, too. He declares H his -willingness to partially forgive such Republl- H cans as will truly repent and join in the nomln- H ation of Col. Roosevelt next summer. He will H not give them full confidence, but will admit H them to the ranks on probation. Of course they H will not be given any offices or emoluments until H they shall have done sufficient penance for the H sin of not accepting the colonel three years ago, H but must" be content with a place in the ranks H and honorable mention. H If this Is refused then another campaign of H smash must be inaugurated, even if the result H happens to be the re-election of President Wil- H son. In common gratitude the Democrats should H pay all tho campaign expenses of our friends, the H Progressives; it is not fair to compel Mr. Perkins H to longer carry the load. H Carnegie At Four Score ANDIB CARNEGIE was eighty years old on Thanksgiving day. An eastern journal gives M him a page or two write-up. It describes his H as still wearing his cheery smile and nursing in m fine optimism. Looking back over tho long path H he has climbed he seems to have one great re- H gret and one great joy. Tho regret is that he did H not charge Morgan $100,000,000 more for his M property, his great joy is that he once got the M best, by many millions, of old man Rockefeller U in a coal and iron mine deal. M He is made in the story to tell about the H Homestead strike or lockout in 1892. Ho was in r Europe when it occurred and on returning he told H the men that those in charge had offered them H as fair terms as he would have offered, upon H which the men said: "That would have been M different, Mr. Carnegie, you might have walked m over us and we would have submitted," whicn H we take it was the highest compliment Andle Hj Carnegie ever received, for it showed that his H employees had full faith in his sense of justice. H The greatest misfortune of modern great cor- H porations is that the business is so extensive, H; that agents have to carry out the details of tho Hj work, the tie between the real principal and the H employees is broken. H Mr. Carnegie did a great work in his time but H we take it that he would give all his millions to H have 'returned to him the appetite he had and the H hopes he nursed when he, a boy, was running a H little stationary engine for $16 per month. H The Ships Must Come H '"PHOSE were significant words spoken by H Charles M. Schwab at a New York dinner on D Thanksgiving eve, to the effect that wo must have H the greatest merchant marine in the world, add- H ing that he understood that all the railway slde- H tracks between Pittsburg and New York were H choked with cars loaded with products that there H were no ships to carry away. M We do not believe that congress avIH dare ad- fl journ again without first providing for the estab- H lishment of at least the nucleus of a merchant B marine on a 'basis that will insure its continuance. j TTncle' Sam's store is too big to rely upon other JH merchants' delivery wagons to send out its goods. 1 T is to bo hoped that President Wilson will hurry up his marriage before any serious com- M' plications come in .national affairs. He seems to M be possessed with a sort of ecstacy which makes M him want to take the whole world in his arms H and ci for joy on the world's ample bosom. He seems to be in the humor to repeat: "From woman's eyes this doctrine I derive; They sparkle still the right Promethean fire; They are the books, the arts, the Academes That show, contain and nourish all tho world." He should be sent a bottle of old rye and a poor man's plaster, and given thirty days' vacation. THERE is no healthy industrious man who cannot go out, lease at a fair rental ten acres of land near this city with water to irrigate it, plant it to celery, obtain credit for food while the crop is growing and when he gets the crop harvested and sold, have quite $2,000 clear for his year's work. With this before his" eyes when a healthy man in idleness lets tho summer go by and then be gins to preach the cold-heartedness of the rich and the suffering of the poor, then he should at once become tho concernment of the peace of ficers and his mouth should be stopped. There is no other land all the world around where such opportunities are given earnest work ers, and the vicious and depraved should be made to respect it. IT is a good idea to celebrate the anniversary of Mark Twain's birth on Monday next, for a ripple of laughter followed him through life and only pleasant memories come back from him. But that anniversary joke of his was one of his last ones. He had been born Ave years on that 30th day of November, 1835. THAT Frank A. Vanderlip who heads the great International Banking syndicate of $50,000, 000 which is to draw the world's financial direc tion to New York, began life as poor a boy as ever grew up in a lonely homo in this country, but he took to finance by instinct and if his life -shall be spared ten years longer he will be liable to wear the title of the world's financial king. fL China proposes to increase the capital of her national bank by $20,000,000, in part through the sale of government property, in part by popular subscription. Japan will look with interest on that proceed ing, and in the meantime will be laying plans to furnish an excuse for going over and taking 'the money in. Japan is intensely interested in Japan. Zacaton grass it is said can be converted into paper easier than wood pulp. Zacaton grass iL, grows all the way from California to the Straits of Magallon, and if the rumor of its fitness proves true, newspaper owners will hail it as a boon. Our own notion of a hard-luck story is the top one of a London house. Columbia State. Mrs. Pankhurst says it is the German strain in Englishmen that makes them so obstinate. We don't know which this will make the madder the Englishmen or the Germans. Manchester Union. Re-Opening of the Maxim Cafe l ;,-.
