WHAT DOES IT PROFIT A MAN l
Forgery, flight, exile, imprisonment
--additional crime, flight and then de
fection—malignant cancer and hover
ing death; these sum up the career
of George F. Kenny, once a well-liked,
trusted business man of this city, now
a stricken criminal.
it was ran a suangc, specuit-nuii
career lie built up confidence, and
then he betrayed it—and for a little
money. It was not one man’s lone
daring adventure in lawlessness—his
gains were his friends' losses, and it
is said his perfidy brought one of
Ihem to business defeat, discourage
ment and death.
What did it profit him? It was
sheer loss; it was such loss as could
never be recouped; it was failure and
ruin in the uttermost.
He who losses money may regain
it. He who losses business may build
it up again. But he who loses the
confidence of the friends that life had
raised up for him loses the irrecov
erable. And he who loses his sense
of honor and his desire that every
dollar he owns shall measure exactly
with honorable service rendered—■
loses that which few ever regain, and
those only through pains unutterable.
“I don’t care what they do to me
now,” says Kenny. “They can’t do
much. My cancer will kill me soon.”
But “they” can do nothing at all to
Kenny comparable with what he has
done lo himself He has been his
own jailer since ever he put his hand
to a crooked deed. The tragic stu
pidity, the utter loss of wrongdoing
is once more exemplified in (his poor
wretched man.—Detroit Mews.
CHINESE CULTURE, TOO.
President Yuan Shi Kai lias issued
a mandate instructing the Chinese
minister of education to prepare the
way for a uniform system of public
• schools to he established throughout
; China. Al least that is (lie report
from Peking. The schools are, it is
’I said, 10 be modern, patterned af’er
I western ideas to a large degree, “but
| not to the extent of discarding the
k best teachings of China’s ancient
\ sages io whom the culture of the na
il t ion is due.”
M The proclamation is the same high
feounding platitudinous phraseology
gwhich Yuan has before now employed
to encourage western confidence in
us purposes. l tie prosperity or de
;'ay, strength or weakness of a na
tion, it says are chiefly determined
iy the morality intelligence and phy
sical strength of the people, to which
id education commands the first
itention. Reference is made to for
fgn countries where specialists write
»,irks and from 80 to 90 per cent,
the population can read and write,
t China, however, books are now
re reproductions. “Original works
as few as the waning stars in
ly morning.” Contrasted with this
adent condition are the days of
Chown dynasty when every indi
lal was a scholar. “Now,” says
h, “we aim at universal educa
s enabling every citizen to be cap
i of government and to be rid of
pld habit of dependence.” Good
i, If true, and not intended mere
Jr occidental consumption with a
^rting reflection that before the
ise millions can be educated to
jity for self-government Yuan and
isociates in the dictatorship will
'•ave passed to their ancestors.—
ILD BE AMERICANS FIRST.
'n born In Europe may have ev
ention of being an American
country where his children
live after him. And if he
s a fond affection for the par
old sod across the water
he came, who shall blame
hat he should do so is but
and indicates a proper heart
V J.
rope is no longer his home,
nes are cast here. How
fares concerns him vitally,
| practical interests, will af
of his children who are to
' ind will be Americans.
And how fortunate the lot that has
brought him to America, where he is
more sure of living his days in peace
than he could do anywhere in Europe!
The chances are small that any sud
den destruction such as has fallen
like a bolt upon the Belgians will as
sail him here. The opportunity for
him to eat unmolested the bread that
his own hands have earned is here
better, far better, than anywhere in
all tile world. The probability that
what he is able to save his children
will enjoy here exceeds what apper
tains to any other corner of the earth.
Here he can build in security; here
he can lay up store; here he can des
cend to a decent and a Christian
grave.
Therefore every inducement for be
ing first and foremost an American
citizen, considering exclusively Amer
ica’s interest, is presented to our new
est immigrant as well as to the scions
of our older stock.
Bet us not fight the battles of Eu
rope here, or seek to influence our
country’s policy to favor some bellig
erent abroad. The lines of true Amer
ican policy are well determined.—

VOTE ON LIQUOR
Representative Snow, of Ruby, lias
introduced a memorial in the territor
ial legislature asking permission from
congress to submit the question of
prohibition for Alaska to the voters
of the territory next territorial elec
tion. The author had some difficulty
in having his bill placed as neither
the judiciary committee nor the com
mittee of education, health, and mor
als wanted the bill saddled on them
for action. The judiciary won in the
contest and the memorial went to the
education committee.
