THE AMERICUS WEEKLY TIMI ORDER, FRIDAY JANUARY 23, 1903.
t^Tanp not the times.
A ,. r oiit deal of sympathy ieema to
«usted on the twentieth century
( „llege-hred youth.', who ore pitied be-
riinpe 1110 wor *^ ,oem ® to ** ttve n0 wor * c
, r the well-educated.
Sever was there harbored a more er-
, , m , 0 n* view of anything. Aa a matter
(fuel there can be recalled no time in
| ll0 world’, hi.tory when there haa
„ greater demand for trained la-
1, , r whether it bo mental or manual.
! mlocd, education ia now looked upon
„ practical kind of investment in
nhieli higher returns are assured than
h.-e to be derived from stocks and
bonds. The situation is briofly^and
clearly demonstrated by Judge Robert
V Douglas in this wise:
Take a man earning $15 a month,
an ,l,-upitalize him lilte^iny other ban-
enterprise at say |ix per cent, and
noiild be worth $3,000. Deducting
ene-thinl this amount for tfie average
rlumces of. death, he would still lie
„..ith $2,00* to himself. His value to
his family would lie further lessened
n,o cost of his iiersonal supiiort.
Take auother earning $150 month,
n ,„l capitalize him in the same manner.
• i, would represent .capital of$20,000,
u . tl tunes that of theother. Thisisnot
IU cre financial conceit. It is practi-
rally the rulo of damage* followed by
tli,. courts in eases of death by wrong
ful act, taking into consideration the
IK,, evpectanoy of the deceased. It
should be the rulo to be substantially
followed in the education of every,
child. If » pnroqL carf educate a son
from a $15 hand to a $150 band, ho has
started him with u handsome capital
securely invested.
• The difficulty is that all too fre-
iiuentfy the college man who takes hts
degree is not really educated at all. He
has spent four years storing bis mind
with useless knowledge, without know
ing how to apply what he has learned
to some practical aim. But the matp
who knows what he wants to do and is
determined to do it, the man who puts
all his energy and ambition into fitting
himself to do some one thing a little
heller than any other person can per
form that particular task, wilhdisQover
when lie demands the living winch it is
said the world owes every man, that
the living will be a fur more luxurious
otic if he has been really educated than
if ho brought to his life task a mind
unfilled with what it is desirable to
k now, a hand nnskilled.in what it is de
sired shall ho ilono.
“It is alt nonsense to belittle u col
lege education bocanke a few stupid
men have failed to got out of n.collcgo
training tlio host there is within it; for
in this respect, as in all others, tho
fault is with the man and not with
these times so rich in glorious jios-
sihilities for tho brave and deter
mined.”
This mouth witnesses the inaugura
tion of a Democratic Governor in
Kliodc Island and also in Nevada and
Oregon. These are tlie only States
outside of the South which have Dem
ocratic Governors, except ’Montana,
which elected a Democrat in 11)00 for a
four-year term. The Democratic Gov
ernors of Oregon and Rhode Island
i may lie regarded as accident. Each of
them is confronted by a Republics
Legislature. The only Northern State
having a Democratic Governor and a
IViuocratie Legislature is Nevada.
There is no Republican Governor in the
South unless Delaware and West Vir
ginia uce classed as Southern States.
<>f the forty-five Governors, tjie Demo
crats have eighteen and the Republi
cans twenty-seven.
Senator Mason, of Illinois, will be
enrolled among the exes on March 4.
Jt has been ovident for some time that
the rotund'and genial William was
out of the running, but he kept hope
for his flatterer until, the Hopkins ma-
•hino left him manfled beside tho
track. k
Now that the Northern and the
Southern [Methodists are singing out
"f tho same hymnal, it begins to look
»s if tLe war were really over. When
religions differences arc settled theye
i* usually mighty little left to figlit
a I Mint.—Louisville Times.
And Weaker—Gun. James B.— once
the leader of the Populists, has become
the president of an oil company. Aro

lumityitA who are not now reclining

STARVING PEOPLE
EATINGPINE BARK
GrimKamine Stalks Abroad
in Northern Sweden.
THIRTY THOUSAND AFFECTED.
Situation Threatening a Repetition of
the Terrible Famine of 1867, When
..Thoueande bled of Starvation and
Faver—Pathetic Appeala Are Made.
London, Jan. 15.—Telegrams from
Stockholm conflrm the distressing ac
counts of famine in northern Sweden
as given In'these dtepatches. About
30,000 people are affected by this fam-.
tne. which extends from the sixty-first
to the sixty-seventh degree north lati
tude, and from the Oulf of Bothnia
and the Russian border fai* Into the
Interior. •
The starving people are eating pine
bark, which ia dried, ground to pow
der. mixed with stewed Iceland moss
and made into a kind of famine
bread. .
Scarcity of Fish.
Coincident’with tho failure of the
crop Is the extreme scarcity of fish.
The fishermen return from their expe.
dltlons empty-lianded. Even ptar
migan. usually found In great num
bers in the stricken district have ah
most completely disappeared.
It Is estimated that the expenditure
of about $6,300,000 will be necessary
to save the population from decimln
atlon. Thus far about $300,000 has
been subscribed , of which sum over
$13,500 was sent by Swedes In the
United States. This amount does nor
Include the money necessary to save
the breed of cattle, which alone can
live through an Arctic winter, or sup
ply seed for the spring sowings. The
peasants are making pathetic sarrifl'
cos to avert the extermination of the
hardy Northern cattle. In previous
times scarcity of good fodder was ob
tainable by tnfxlng reindeer moss and
aspes bark. . Now this is available
and finely chopped twigs of birch
willow and ash are substituted. The
mixture Is bolled.nnd fed to the cat
tie warm, but it Is found that the
milk of cattle thus fed leadsj to ty
phoid fever. '
i Disease May Increase.
This and other diseases are certain
to spread unless relief Is hastened.
The situation threatens a repetition
of tho terrible famine of 1867, when
thousands died of starvation and ty
phold fever. A special commissioner
of the Swedish government, who has
Just returned from the Bceno of dlS'
tress, emphasizes the necessity for
the adoption ql Immediate plans to
abato tho distress. His report has
caused a most painful Impression and
will, It Is hoped, enhance the national
efforts to provide remedial measures.
Up to the present. 1.300 carloads, val
ued at over $100,006. represent the to
tal quantity of provisions and fodder
shipped to the famjpe-strlrkcn area.
