SCOTT £t BOWNE, 409 Pearl Street, New York,
TO-
DOING ONE'S DUTY.
If this were the sum total of the Re
marks that Andrew Carnegie should
leave behind him, if he had no other
Claim to fame his pointing out of this
fact in such unmistakable language,
should entitle him to praise and secure
for him grateful remembrance years
after he is dead. For if every young
man would take this one sentence of
Carnegie's to heart, ponder over it and
act according to its teachings, the gen
eration just growing into responsibil
ity would be the greatest the world
ever knew.
When a boy enters the employ of a
firm or of an individual he has a cer
tain amount of work for which he is
held responsible each day or each
week. If he does all of this work he
can retain his position for years, per
haps. He will be doing work that may
be characterized as "good enough." If
he does not do all the work he will not
rotain his position, or, if he does, it
will be with a reduction, or, at best, no
increase of salary. But if he does all
his work each day and then, instead
of running home or to the corner store,
he looks about for other work to do,
helps some other employe and makes
himself generally useful around the
place, he will not hold his lowly posi
tion very long. His work will entitle
him to an increase and he will get it.
First his salary will be raised and
then, when the first opportunity arises
he will be given a better position and
his salary will be increased again. He
will be doing more than his duty.
Recently an Ottumwa business man
advertised for an apprentice. Having
been through, several years of experi
ence yith apprentices he stated in his
"ad" that he was not looking for a
general manager, nor the president of
the company—that he was looking
simply for a boy to learn the business
from the bottom up. He had had some
of the boys who do not do their duty.
It is a noticeable fact that the lads
who go ahead fastest are the ones
who, when employed, never ask the
amount of their salary, but learn first
what work they are to do. The salary
if the work is done rightly, will take
care of itself. A man seldom gets
-money enough to go into business, un
less he is of the kind that watches' the
work of their employes carefully. He
who does watch, knows, when an open
ing comes, to whom to give the oppor
tunity, and it is to the boy who has
done "more than his duty" that he
beckons when he wants a responsible
/, task done well.
Mr. Carnegie knows whereof he
speaks, and this fact makes his words,
quoted: above, doubly valuable. He
t, was a poor boy, poorer than are most
^(boys at this time, but he adopted,early
in life, the rule which he has now laid
down for others to follow. In a re
cent interview he told of it as fol
lows: "Instead of asking yourself,
'What must I do for my employer?'
change your question to, 'What can I
do for my employer?'" If every voung
man would take this method of "learn
ing how to serve the firm or the indi
vidual for whom he works there would
scon be-much less room at the top of
the business ladder than there is now.

RUSSIA'S MAY DAY.
Next Monday, May 1, will be an
anxious day for Russia. If the revolu
tionary party is as strong as it is
claimed to be, May day will rival
"Bloody Sunday" in loss of life.- For
May day has been set by the enemies
of the czar as the occasion for a de
jmonstration against the throne,
^against the bureaucracy and for free
dom.
The choice of May day for this event
-was particularly fitting, for that day
i,has' come to be regarded the world
over as the'.annual occasion for the
^celebration by the socialists in every
^country. Russia, just at this
ftime, attracts greater attention than
|all the other nations of the world
owing" to the peculiar conditions exist
ing there and the veiled threats that
have been made by the revolutionists
Sthat .this year's May day will be one
rlong to be remembered for its horrors.
'The observance of the day is expected
iv
to go far beyond the limits of the
pusual celebration of this day by the
^socialists, even in Paris. Though there

greater than on
January 22, when an organized move-
would have resulted in a fight
that would have rivaled, in loss of life,
some of the largest minor battles in
which the Russians and Japanese have
been engaged. As it was, more were
probably killed than the world has
been allowed to learn.
"Of the three kinds of young men,1
says Andrew Carnegie—"those who do
their duty, thpse who do less than greets the czar one week from today
their duty and those who do more
than their duty, the last class is fur
nishing all those who amount to any
thing in the world."
St. Petersburg will not be the scene
of the only disorders on May day. The
nihilists have been at work, silently
but effectively, for weeks and even
months, preparing the people in the
rural districts for the event. The
agrarian troubles have been increas
ing all through the winter. The peo
ple in the rural districts have had
time, when the ground was covered
with snow, and they could plant no
crops, to read revolutionary literature
and to ponder on their wrongs, real
and imagined. The prospect that
an
alluring one.
THE WAY TO LONG LIFE.
Writing for one of the May Maga
zines, Charles Michael Williams, has
prepared an interesting article on
"How to Live a Hundred Years." He
quotes a French writer and says,."Men
do not usually die they kill them
selves." Taking this for his text, Mr.
Williams declares that every man
should be his own physician and pro
fesses to believe with Professor Met
chnikoff, the Parisian, who claims that
the average men should live to be at
least 120 years old. Since this is
nearly twice the allotment usually
agreed upon as a high one for human,
life, Mr. Willams' advice is worth con
sidering.
First of all he insists that temper
ance is necessary if a man wants long
life. Taking Luigi Cornaro of Venice
as his model in this partcular, Mr
Williams writes:
'Temperance was the master-word
of Cornaro's system. Finding after
many experiments that twelve ounces
of solid food and fourteen ounces of
liquids daily were sufficient to keep
him in sound health, he would not
permit himself a fraction over these
amounts.
'Whoever wishes to eat much,
must eat little,' he declared.
"Cornaro did not, however, -pay
exclusive attention to diet he adopted
allround hygienic principles. With
his carefully selected food, he records
that he avoided hurtful things also,
as too much heat and cold, weariness,
watching, ill air for although the
power of health consists most in the
proportion of food and drink, yet these
fore-named things have also their
force. I preserved me also, as much
as I could, from hatred and melancholy
and other perturbations- of the mind,
which have a great power over out
constitutions. Yet could I not so avoid
all these, but now and then I fell into
them which gained me this experi
ence—that I perceived that they had
no great power to hurt those bodies
which were kept in good order by a
moderate diet so that I can t-uly say
that they who in these two thingc that
enter in at the mouth—food and drink
—keep a fit proportion, shall receive
little hurt from other excesses.'
"All the precepts of modern science
of psychology, support Cornaro's
claims for the value of cheerfulness
abstinence from worry, and temper
ance. He wl.a would live to be one
hundred must not take too much
thought of his ambition or his anxie
ties. Over-much carefulness is as
fatal as the reverse. Temperance—
that is the golden word."
"Be temperate" then, might be
given as one of Mr. William's principle
rules. "Drin't worry," might be added
to his advice, and in addition he cites
another authority, a follower of Cor
naro, who says that in order to live
to a ripe old age it is necessary for
a man to chew his food well and—a
brand new idea—chew not only solid
food but mil", tea, coffee, wine, soup,
everything, in fact, that has taste. As
a closing piece of advice, Mr. Wil
liams says:
'Avoid excess in everything re
spect old habits—-even bad ones—but
form new ones that are good breathe
pure air adapt the nourishment to
in3 temperament avoid constant and
needless recourse to drugs have an
easy conscience, a merry heart, and a
contented mind—and if no accident be
falls you, you have an excellent chance
of living to a a hundred.'"
A DANGEROUS RIVAL.
Indiana is proving to be about the
most dangerous rival of Kansas on the
the point of freak legislation, as de
monstrated by the laws passed by the
legislature which adjourned just re
cently. First place for freaklshness is
clearly claimed by the anti-cigarette
law, which prohibits a citizen of Indi
ana from having in his possession any
cigarettes or cigarette papers. But
there are other unusual provisions set
forth in the list of laws passed which
was issued by Governor Hanley when
the legislature had finally closed Its
"Don'ts" which it publishls for the
benefit and enlightenment of its sub-
scribers.
"Don't purchase junk from
der 21 without the written consent of
his parents or guardian. Junk dealers
must pay a license fee of $5 to
county clerk and keep a record
the minors from whom they buy junk,
"Don't molest or insult a militiaman
in the performance of his duty, or in-!
terfere with him in his job or aid to1
exclude him from any organization on
account of his membership
much an offense now as to disturb a
public meeting.
"Don't haul a hog suffering from a
contagious disease, or the carcass of
one, over a public highway.
"Don't expect three days grace for
the payment of your note.
"Don't send a child under 16 to rush
the growler," or encourage him in
any act of "delinquency," which is de
fined among other things as wandering
about the streets at night, or in rail
road yards or on railroad tracks, or
jumping on trains, or loitering about
school buildings, or using bad language
or smoking cigarettes."
IOWA PRESS COMMENT.
The Cedar Rapids Republican says
that the proposition to tax bachelors
is a relic of barbarism. It thinks that
rather than punish a man who chooses
to live alone the government ought to
punish a grg.at mapy who choose to
marry, but who are not fit for either
husbands or fathers. The Republican
suggests that a peculiar state of af
fairs exists: On the one hand the
anti-divorce advocates propose some
how to compel people to live together
after they are married, and on the
other hand it is proposed to force men
into matrimony by taxing the bach
elor. "Is married life to become a
matter of force on the part of the
state?" asks the Republican.
—O—
"Behold the President," says the
Jefferson Bee. "When he hunts, he
hunts all over. When he works, he
works all over—the opposition. The
people love a man who does everything
with all his mieht and main."
—-O——
The Iowa City Republican says that
if all the members of the Iowa con
gressional delegation were retired and
new men were put in their places there
still would be at least eleven other
men who would favor another change
at the earliest possible date. "It Is
hard to please the outs," adds the Re
publican.
—o—
Congressman Hubbard has demon
strated that he Is a standpatter," says
the Mason City Globe-Gazette. "He
wants all the credit and all the blame
for the appointment of postmasters.
He Is a brave man sure."
-'O—
Speaking of the railroad rates hear
ings now In progress, the Nevada
Representative says that if the sen
ate will do business when it meets in
October much of the public impatience
with that body will disappear. "The
senate is entitled to its say upon the
question," continues the representa
tive, "and those who would ask it to
forego the same are not reasonable.
But what the people have a right to
ask of the senate is that It shall an
nounce its say, and not merely fool
around and say nothing."

The Manson Journal observes that
President Roosevelt generally gets
what he goes after.
—o—
The right to labor as many hours
as one pleases," remarks the Cedar
Falls Record, "cannot be abridged by
legislative enactment. That is good
wholesome American doctrine."
As to John Cownie's criticism of the
decorative work in the capltol build
ing at Des Moines the Council Bluffs
Nonpareil says that "Mr. Cownie
comes fresh from the farms of the
Iowa state institutions, where he has
been assisting in- the selection of seed
corn and seed potatoes, and is there
fore in good form to pass on the mer
its of artistic decorations."

The Burlington Hawk-Eye says that
Bernard Murphy, as a candidate for
governor, would draw votes as maple
sugar draws the kids at breakfast
time."
—o—
Mr. Bryan predicts that municipal
ownership will become democratic doc
trine, and the Keokuk Gate City says
that from municipal ownership to gov
ernment ownership, is but a step, and
that the latter spells socialism.
—o—
"Fads come and go' with unfailing
regularity," says the Cedar Falls Rec
ord. "No sooner do we dismiss one
and hope to never see Its like again
than another bursts upon our view
with the radiance and brilliancy of a
meteor. We are given to fads. They
come upon us unannounced and we
unconsciously embrace them and join
the throng in singing their praises."
—o
It would seem to the Fairfield
Ledger that the state had trouble
makers and liars enough of her own
without importing Mr. Steilens.
—o—
"Seriously, Bernard Murphy would
make a first class governor," says the
Cedar Rapids Republican. "He would
'tend to business and he would do It
without a press bureau, too."
The Mason City Globe-Gazette
judges by the numerous and strenuous
contests for the office in the D. A. R.
that their great granfathers of the
revolution certainly must have trans
mitted some of their fighting blood.
"When the final reports have been
made by Mr. Garfield." says the Bur
lington Hawk-Eye, "It is believed his
critics will look like the price of a
bleacher seat at a third class baseball
game."
A site has been selected for Maxim's
captive flying machine on the Trail at
