ENFORCED lDLENESS.

Mr.. Lem Sheldon, pastor of the Cen
trail Congregational church of Topeka,
Kan, recently caused a sensation by
attiring himself in rough clothing and
seeking as common laborer to ascertain
for himself the difficulties of making
living by hard work.
In his report to his congregation he
said:

experiment on my own Sensations, but

The wage slave has the privilege of
existence only when he is wanted by the
capitalist to produce profit. The wages
paid by the protit-monger are paid to
enable the labor machine to recoup its
exhausted energies the best way he can.
The capitalist does not let the wage
slave idle his time under his service for
an hour-not even "a minute. lie has
watch dogs" on purpose to prevent
such scandal. When the wage Garner
is sick he sends him away-to hunger or
to die. for 1t Is no business OF lis. Ii he
had to bury Inn the probability is he
would throw INN In the dust hole or de-
post him in a hospital for dainty stu
dents to pick his bones. An animated
machine or an intelligent monkey cap
able of producing profit would suit the
capitalist much hetter than the every
day slave, for lie would not need To pay
regard TO sentiment or to Factory Acts

it is absurd 10 speak of fair or good
wages. There can be no fair or good

An Ingenious Ballot Box.

William FAIR Good in Of Stelton has
invented a new form of ballot box, on
which he is to secure letters patent. and
which he will urge to the attention of
the joint legislative Committee on Ballot
Reform. The Goodwin box is made on
an entirely new idea. He proposes to
have thin inexpensive metal ballots in
stead of paper ones, and these will be
stamped with the names of the different
candidates. Those for the different par,
ties will be of different widths. with
another width for independent tickets,
and the separate ballots will 60 INTO
separate slo.s corresponding in width to
them.
BY this means the ballots for the diff.
fsrent candidates will all be found at
the close of election in separate compart-
ments, and will be very EASILY counted
An ingenious arr angement con- Getting
with the door OF the polling place MAJ es
it impossible for d ballot to completely
enter the box until the voter has openrd
the door to pass out, and so even wit h
no poll clerk or judge the ballotlng can
proceed with a single iuspt cting officer
from each party To zee that none except
registered men vote, and with no Danger
OF fraud.
