PRINCIPLES AND MACHINERY
Seng tor Tillman made loud and np
ro*riou* complaint of President Wil

sacrifice* party principle and national
honor to what Senator Tillman deemed
an expedient saving; of political ma
ch inary.
Senator Tillman did not liealtate to
make bin attack upon the party lender
and the party administration in the
narna of party solidarity, yet his at
tack upon the adndnlNtratlou arul hi*

THE MAN WHO CAN.
(American Machinist.)
Strippeif of the sentimental side, Ik
there anything- to all this “uplift" talk
about the man who rises to the top
from the bottom? Is it any test of a
mail’s efficiency in a high position to
prove that he swept out the shop In an
acceptable way? Or isn't it often the
Case that he really swept it so badly
that he was transferred to some other
Job that required less brains and more
n* ve, questions the editor of the Ame
rican Machinist.
The life history of some of our most
prominent engineers and manufactur
ers, after the newspaper guff is scraped
off, Indicates that their early training
in the shop had little or nothing to do
with their subsequent promotion. In
other words, there are many trades or
professions in which the early training
as now practiced has little or no bear
ing on promotion from one to another
of 'he higher positions which they of
fer. For example. It Is difficult for an
apprentice boy to rise to be a leading
workman In (he shop unless he can ac
tually do good work with his own
hands. He cannot aspire to become
works manager unless he takes eaeh
step through the shop, and yet we all
know of plenty of men who have risen
front other positions to he successful
superintendents and managers who
could never have earned a Journey
man's pay at any one of tha trades In
which they employ men. Executive
shinty outweighs umniKi! dexterity 10
limes over, provided It is hacked up
with meehanical common sense.
In spite of the fact that we recog
nize thiM rather elusive thing known as
executive ability we are doing little to
train and develop It. If it crops out
in Ihe simps and won't he (piloted, we
recognize It ghitnly and set It to work
to sink or swim as circumstances dic
tate. In our technical schools we pay
ho attention to it. We assume that a
hoy who can absorb the theory of dif
ferential equations, measure the length
of a wave of light and translate Her
man poetry thereby acquires the abil
ity to boas a gang of greenhorns set
ting up a derrick, instead of which
there is not one graduate In 10 who
would not he foolhardy to stay inside
a radius of f>o feet of where his gang
thought they were going to set It UP.
Authority is mostly assumed, one
man may be utterly thrown off his bal
snee If he faces a dozen laborers and
he unable to keep them working at. all,
because he Is afraid of himself. Anoth
er man knows what he wants done and
tells his men what to do In tones that
are unmistakable, even if he does not
yell nor swear at them, lie simply sua
gnsts to them In the psychological
sense that they do us he wishes, and It
Is easier for them to do It than It Is to
agree to refuse. After all, Ihe art of
suggestion has a large part In our
present-day system* of work.

THE DISCONTENTED DEW-DROP.
One morning a tittle Dewdrop was
resting on the petal of a wild rose that
grew lieskle a river.
The sun shining on it made It gllstan
like a diamond and a woman who was
pausing stopped to admire its beauty.
"It is the most beautiful thing In the
world" she remarked; "see the colors
In that tiny little drop; Isn't it wonder
ful ?"
“Wonderful!" repeated the dewdrop,
when the woman had walked away. "If
I were like the river I might l>e won

here while the river can run on and on
and see all the sights. It bubbles and

while I have never a ch**nce to lie

•lust then a breeze passing heard the
little Dewdrup's wish.

the rose, which swayed, and off wgnt
the little Dewdrop into the rushlflg
river.
“This is like something being a part
of this river," said the Dewdrop, as It
mingled its tiny drop with the running
river, "Now I am worth admiring and
can see itomrthing of the world."
< in and on it ran with the water of
the river but It was no longer a dew
drop, It was a part of the river.
"1 wish I could stop for a minute
so someone might admire me," said the
silly little drop, tor it thought it could
still be seen and was making all the
bubbling it heard us the river ran
along.
But no one admired it nor did it stop;
on went the river to a larger river,
and by and by it came to the bay and
the Dewdrop went rolling into It With
the other water.
"You dc«r little girl," said the wo
man. I d trade it all for your place

"Surely I am greater now than ever

but it heard no sweet words such as
the woman spoke of the little Dewdrop

The gentle breeze went away and the
loud wind swept the ocean, making the
waves high and the roar louder and
louder. The little Dewdrop was there
somew here in a great whole, but It was
lost forever In its longing to become
great.
The gentle breeze went back to the
river, and a# she sighed around the
rose, where the discontented Dewdrop
had rested, she heard another drop
say:
‘Look at the river, isn’t it big? Here
am I only a dewdrop, so small no one
can see me."
“Ah, that is where you are mistaken,

breeze. "You can be seen now. but if

contented Dewdrop that had wished to
become great and how at last it was
swallowed by its own greatness, and
its dainty beauty which had been so
admired no longer remained.
"Be content with the small part vou
