Inference was made in these ccl rot long ago to the fact that the unWiu book, "Who's Who in America, wherein the biographies of more than 14,tt0 eminent Americans are given. ehow incldentallly that practically all J; the men who have made a record ntltlinjr them to mention owe much cf their success to their education. This Interesting subject is taken u; in ad vance sheets cf the forthcoming report of the United States bureau of educa tion, and the government officials com mend the editors of -Who's Who- for having "rendered the country a service by inducing more than ten thousand men now living in the United States v.hoare the most nctable in all de partments of usefulness and reputable endeavor, to report their education." The government report points out that these men have won enviable distinc tion, and the facts they give help an- wer the questions, -Does education help -one to success?" and "What amount of school training helps most?" It i shown by the commissioner cf education that according to the last renfu there are in the United Plates H.T94.403 males over thirty years old. The bureau estimates that these arc divided educationally as fellows: Clas 1. Without education... 1,737.023 C1i 2. With only common jehool training or trained outnlde of organized schools. 12,054,330 Cla S. With regular high chool training added 657,432 CUs 4. With college or high er education added 325,03 Orr.ittins the few persons under thir ty years old, the report from 10.704 no tk rbrnvs: Without education, none; self-taught, 24; home-taught, 571; with common-school training only, .Oti; with high-school training, 1.627; with college training. 7,709, cf whom 6,113 were college graduates. That is: rrem the 1,757,023 of Class 1 r.o notable reported. From the 12.054.335 of Class 2 came l.sr, one for every S.S12 I4 of these report themselves as self-taught; 27S as pri vately taught.) tr, m the f.57.4.12 of Class 3 came 1.K27, one for every Trom the 325.613 cf Class 4 came 7.7C9, one for every 404 42 It thus appear s: 1. That from ISO!) to l'JOO the uned ucated hoy in the United States failed entirely to become so notable in any department of usefulness and reputable endeavor as to attract the attention of the "Who's Who" editors, and that only 24 self-taught men succeeded. 2. That a boy with only a common itchool education had, in round num bers, one char.ee in 9,000. 3. That a high-schocl training in creased this chance nearly twenty-two times. , 4. That coilf ge education added gave the young man about ten times the chance of a high-school bpy and two hundred times the chance of the boy whose training stopped with the com-rren-sohoc 1. 5. That the A. E. graduate was pre eminently successful and that the self educated man was Inconspicuous. F rem the nature of the case it cannot tws claimed that these classifications re exact, but they are based upon the fullest statistics ever obtained, and the firccessary estimates have beeen made fcy Government experts. It is also doubtless true that cither circumstances mtributed to t'.ie success of these trained men. but after all reasonable allowances are made the figures force the conclusion that the more school training the American boy of that period had the greater were hi3 chances of distinction. How will it b? in this century? It is unnecessary to extend thi3 in quiry to woman. Education is practi cally her only door to eminence. THc Fourth of July Nuisance. The approach of the Fourth of July is stirring up municipalities, large and small, to the consideration of present methods of celebrating the day by Young America and by America not quite sa young and to ways and means of diminishing the noise nnd the explosions, the fires and the Inevitable accidents. The Inquirer, published !il lhe sleepy old town of Philadelphia ires to remark that the really big lown no longer considers noise as a fieccssary exhibit to demonstrate pro press and prosperity. But on the sub ject of noise Philadelphia cannot be iken as an expert, very little of the ftrticle being known thereabouts. Nevertheless there is very much to rommend itself in the projected effort Vo surpre?s the intolerable nuisances of the Fourth in the shape of detonat ing implements and fulminates, and the movement in not so much in the way of dec-line of patriotism as it is !n the line of necessity for Tr.easiurer; cf safety. The number of deaths di rectly rcFultinr from the metfcoJ in which the Fourth was celebrated last j your exceeded 2,CjO, while there vtre n-.aimir.gs and blindings and bums and scaldings innumerable, the deadly toy pistol, forbidden in the abstract, but used in the concrete, furnishing the largest percentage of the casual tie. Undoubtedly something ought tc be done for public comfort and for public safety. In the old days, when there were basket picnics and the whole town took to the woods to hear the biggest man in the community el: quently crate of and concerning Val ley Forge and Yorktown thsre was little danger from the fireworks oral or manufactured and nobody 1 was hurt. It is otherwise today. It is the country that comes to the tewn and aids in the din and the noise, and the firing and the fulminating, while the oratorical fireworks have been l de gated to the lumber room. There Is less patriotism and more danger in the fireworks of today, with insurance companies and fire departments on the ragged edge from midnight to rn'd night and for some hours afterwards. Chicago seems to have adopted the most novel method of dealing with the Fourth of July nuisance. According to the telegraph news, a. local amuse ment association in the Windy City has enncunced that it will give free lire crackers and torpedoes in unlimited quantities provided the children -a ill assemble- in the public parks and i la--greunds ar.d do their celebrating vn der the supervision of a fireman, a physician a policeman and a member of the association. After the celebration in the paries and playgrounds the associ ili'.n w-11 give a fire works display on tli; lake front, and a mcdel of the United f-iatts rteamship Dorothea will be blown up. The association is incorporated, and a crusade against dynamite bombs and j crackers and against the -oy p:iol is announced as among its main oi.jects. All cases of accident or c!?a-h repotted as resulting from the use e'f these for bidden explosives will be triced back to the L-eller. He will be h;l.l person ally rosponslbe and prosecute!. . The movement is a reminder of the figures collected last year by the American Medical Association, ' show ing that 4,443 deaths and injmie--. re sulted from the celebrations of July i, 1SC3, in the country at large. There were 4C6 deaths due to lock jaw, for which the tey pistol w.s re sponsible. Other forms of mon U in jury took sixty victims. Th;rc w-i e ten persons who were made blind, seventy-five who lost one eye, fifiy-four who lost hands, arms or ie,:s, 174 who lost fingers and 3,670 who ;ee-ivcd other injuries. At the. battle of Bunker Hill, fanou.s preliminary to the next year's ti:st dawning of Independence Day. there were killed 145 Americans and 359 of the British a total only, thirty-eight reater than that in the celebration slaughter of the last Fourth. Editor Weedln's Mistake. F-ditor AYeedin of the Florence Blade permits himself to be worked into a depiorable frenzy, because Brigadier Gensral Fred C. Alnsworth. formerly of Prescott, was the other day ap pointed to be the military secretary and a major general. " 'Dock' Ains v.orth," says the Blade, "is the honora ble gentleman who, in order to elect himself president of the Thiiteenth legislative council, signed a written agreement to give certain committee chairmanships to democrats; then, after he was elected, utterly repudiated the agreement. That may be honest and honorable, as honor and honesty are rated in these times of political de pravity, but we suspect that hades is full of that type of honesty and honor." The trouble with Cel. Weedin is that his memory is playing him a treacher ous trick. Col. Weedin. we believ;, was a memberof the celebrated "Thiev ing Thirteenth legislature, but cer tainly Fred C. A.insworth was not a member of that legislature or any cther assembly of Arizona statesmen. No doubt Col. Weedin will now forward a proper apology to Major General Ainsworth. We infer that the esteemed Florence colonel was buncoed into helping to elect some horrid republican president cf the Thirteenth council, and that a coveted .chairmanship went to tome body else? But even so, the mellowing Influenced of time long ago ought to have led Col. Weedin to become recon ciled to republican tricks. Foreigners In the East. According to reliable statistics, foreign element in China, Korea Japan is divided u;, somewhat as the and fol- fows: The English predominate In China there are over 5,500; about as many Japanese; about 2, 00 Americans; I.4C0 Germans; 1,400 each of French and Portuguese: roughly, nbout 0,000 for eigners or about one stranger to every 13.GC0 of the native population. Japan has 15,000 foreigners, of which 7.5CO are Chinese, 2,,:C0 English, l.tX'O Americans, 650 Germans, 500 French: 200 Russians and 50 Austrlans, besides 1,150 foreigners of divers nationalities. In Korea there are 20,000 Japanese, 5,000 Chinese, 300 Americans, 150 Eng lish, 100 Frenchmen, 50 Germans and 30 Russians, The Funny Side of Railroading. The strenuous life of a railroad mar. is occasionally relieved by funny situ ations. The mot;t comical are there I whfrc a joke is not intended. For ex I ample: I The Santa Fe publishes a very iritcr csting b'ok by Dr. Dcrscy of the Field Columbian Museum, entitled "Indians of the Southwer-L." The other day a request was recfived from Washington. ! X. C, for a copy of "Engines of the ' Southwest" evidently from a man who ! was of a practical turn of mind. Our ' brother in red has often been termed an "Ir.jun," and we may thereby p'-s- j sibly explain the evolution from "In dian" to "engine." j Talking about Indian.-.: - The Santa i j Fe decorates some cf its city oilice.? ! with displays of Indian handicraft. One ! of these exhibits was attacked by rats ; and partly destroyed. The agent, in ' reporting the fact, made a list of the j injuries. Among the items appeared the following uniejue line. "One god's j nose broken." j Perhaps the queerest of them all is a j letter received from a Minnesota man who had heard that the Santa Fe will ' give a free ride to the World's Fair a ml , pay expenses for ten day3 to those! presenting s:lver dollars cf the mintage of 1904. He asserts that sev eral neighbors have ahvady begun col lecting dollars bearing dale' of the year named. The Santa Fe will undaubt edly "make good ' if . a passenger pre sents enough of these dollars, but the men who expects a hundred-dollar vacation for one dollar will get left, as usual.
