I j The suggestion is not new, of 1: - course, nor has it gone unheeded, i - Thousands of American youngsters 1 - from the schools and colleges have r ; been spending their vacations in the I * shinvards. on the farms and in other r ; blue-shirted and "overalled" occupal tions, which offered fancy pay. But , how many of these ambitious young s fellows contemplate staying on these . f jobs? A canvass would reveal, in , our judgment, a comparitively small . percentage of converts to the trades j, ?gained, that is to say, from the , ranks of the boys who in the old days sought the "white-collar jobs" , i or fitted themselves for the profes' sions. The attractions of higher bay, t shorter hours, smaller worry and ret sponsibility, have been offset in some f 3 way. The common contention that t the boys dislike manual labor and , overalls does not wholly explain the : counter-influences. Mr. Spillane and c his fellow-commentators must look t deeper for the causes. Are they to , be found, by any chance, in labor's 1 , present unhealthy state of mind, as 1 s - -? . maniiestea Dy tne continuous ana j i seemingly insatiable demands for t concessions of many kinds, by the c agitation of radicals and alien anar-Jl chists and the discontent they are | i constantly fomenting? The matter s might prove well worth investiga- t tion by the gentlemen who write so s frequently and fluently about the American boys' tendency toward the t professions and "white-collar jobs." i ?New Orleans Times-Picayune. u j FRANCE WILL STAND WITH ] WILSON ON FIUME , Paris, Sept. 26.?No matter how many solutions of the Fiume question S acceptable to Italy, Franpe and England are submitted to America, the status quo, a3 far as France is concerned, must remain until President 1 Wilson's approval is won. t France will not pass over his head ?
