Mr.. Higgins idea and plan for giving
the unemployed work Is correct and good
To have one able bodied man forced into
idleness is a far greater loss to our coun-
try, and much more injurious to the
healthy growth Of society, than we are
apt to realize. II men are forced into
idleness they are deprived Of the legiti-
mate means of procuring the necessaries
of life; and hunger very soon arousee the
lower vicious passions and principles in
their nature; and then society denounces
them as bad, dangerous class, anarchists,
when we are responsible for the condi-
lions out of which anarchy has grown,
either from inability, ignorance, or in
failing to do our duty.
We call thegoveFnment of this country
government of the people, by the people
md for the people. 1t ought to be; and
lust so soon as each individual shall work
for the advancement and benefit of so
ciety, and society shall feel her responsi-
biity, understand her duty to the indl-
vldual, and do lt by united effort for
the advancement, In the interest and for
the we'll being of all; then we shall have
government of the people, by the peo
ole and for the people. And we shall
then rise to higher utilization.
just one point more l wish to notice.
We have thousands of men wanting
work, who could, If properly employed,
add millions to the wealth Of our country.
We have rich lands that can be made
productive by irrigation; we have men
waiting to do the work; we have plenty
Of food to feed them, and plenty Of
clothes to clOthe them; they want to
work for money to buy these necessaries.
All necessary artificial work that will
-ither save or add wealth to our country
should be done at the expense Of our
national government, or the money fur
niahed without interest. II, however, 1t
should appear that land or other property
had raised above the average value, re-
sultiDg from artificial advantages, q toll
might be collected, or a tax.
With good government and correct,
Just system Of management, NO addition
of wealth could accrue without the whole
country feeling or partaking of Its bene-
fits.
We want no chartered corporations;
We want no foreign money invested 10
necessary improvements, to drain interest
from American citizens alter they have
done all the work and been fed and
clothed by our own country. II We have
to pay interest, let US pay 1t to Uncle
Sam. Give the people work. Give us
American money to pay them, and we
will show you good American citizens,
we'll fed, we'll clothed and prosperous.

BROTHER COOPER'S PLAN.
To the RiltOr OF THE ADvOCATR.

/ would like to grasp the hand OF n
A Higgins. We seem so closely related
mentally. that would like to call him
brother. have read his able articles In
The ADVOCATE with a mixture of inter
est. pleasure, profit and regret. With In
terest, because his theme and the correct
solution of the problem is of the mos'
vital importance not only to the people
Of to-day, but to our posteri y and sue
Ceeding generations. With pleasure, be
cause he not only confines himself closely
to the subject, giving his views and under
standing Of existing conditions, but he
reRraIns from ridicule and abuse. With
profit, because of his breadth of knowl-
edge, his understanding Of the causes OF
the present condition of .he mSsses, and
the remedy suggested for their relief
And, lastly, with regret, because | fear
there are many who thoroughly under
stand the deplorsble condition Of the
poor, and who have seen for years the
great need for reformation In our govern.
ment, but have allowed their prejudlces
their party ties or party influences and
promises to overbalance the better judg-
ment, and crush down the higher and
nobler principles in their nature. Sc
they have continued to vote their party
ticket, realizing at the same time they
were endorsing and helping to support q
system that is oppressive to the people
endangering their liberty, and almost de-
stroylng their power to protect them
selves against injustice; system, too,
that not only mars the beauty and pol
lutes purity of our ideal beautiful god
desS of liberty, but a system, if continued,
that will crush the life out Of our repub-
lican form Of government sincerely
hope that many will follow the example
Mr. H. A. Higgins, and give US their
views and assistance In establishing an
unSelfsh, pure system of justice, Of fair
ness and of protection to the humblest
citizen in the full enjoyment Of fair
share of the wealth he produces. and In
the exercise OF his mental freedom equal
with any other citizen.
Now, Mr.. Editor, II I am not encroach-

ceptions approve OF Mr. Higgins plan to

Three Humorous Titles.

Among the whimsical titles which APP
pear on the pages of national history,
few are more apparently frivolous than
the Duke of Marmalade, the Count of
Lemonade and the Earl Of Brandy.
They are, or were, however, real titles,
bestowed by a genuine monarch on
three of the favOrites, and that, too,
during the present century. In 1911 a
revolution occurred in Hayti, and Chris
topic, "a negro, declared himself en-
peror. Through conspiracy and plot,
his life often attempted, he retained
power till 1920, preserving to the last
the appearance of a royal court and ere
ating a numerous ability.
Among them were the three already
mentioned, and the oddly of the titles
has suggested to many writers the friv-
olOusnes5 of the African character. In
fact, however, all three names were
those of places, the first two being Origi-
nally plantations, but latterly towns of
some Importance. This fact not being
generally known. a misrepresentation has
arisen with regard to the titles them
selves. which, however absurd, are
scarcely more so than some which were
bestowed in France and Germany dur
ing the Middle Ages.-Boston Tran
Scripr.

The Centenary of Coal Gas.

1t is just a hundred years since VIII
liam Murdoch discovered that coal gas
might be used as an illuminant. In his
Cornish home he heated coal in an iron
kettle and applied a light to the end OF
an iron tube coming from the kettle.
How many people today have ever heard
the name of this William Murdoch?
Watts, with his kettle, discovered the
use of steam, which has effected the
greatest peaceful revolution the world
has ever seen. Murdoch, with his ket-
tie, also made a wonderful discovery,
the value of which it is impossible to
Overestimate. Electricity as an illumi-
nant is now fast replacing its elder
brother, but it is quite young.
For sixty years and more gas has been
a familiar friend, and its civiliZing in
fiuence has been enormous. Feeble as
its flame is compared with the brilliant
arc light, those few among US who re-
member the old wooden posts with their
sickly oil lamps that did duty in Dur
streets, and served only to make dark
ness visible, can testify to the gratitude
we ought to feel to the Cornishman.
Nothing has helped more to repress the
ruffianism in our streets than this light
ing up of dark places. 1t has in every
sense besn an enlightening power, and
it is not exactly to our credit that we
have forgotten the man who gave it us

A Wonderful Music Box.

An interesting arrangement OF pneu-
matte mechanism for the production of
high class music has recently been ex-
hibited. The instrument has two and
one-fifth sets of reeds, the regular action
of the air grooves being located above,
and on top of the board containing these
is a row of small ~pneumatics correspond
ing in number to the keys of the instru-
ment; underneath this board are four
rows of large p~neumatics, one beneath
the other, and from an arm on each Of
these pneumatics hangs a wire attached
to a lever operating on the coupler but
tons on the pitmans or wooden rods
connecting the keys of the instrument
with the reed board valves.
= By means of these levers, operated
by pneumatics, the movement of the
valves becomes automatic, subject to
the passage over the air board Of perfo-
rated paper. A peculiar characteristic
of the motor which operates the music
roll, which distinguishes it from all
other appliances of the kind, is its
adaptability to running to the right to
wind music and the left to rewind, or
vice versa. When the instrument is in
operation the keyboard becomes a thing
of life, keys dropping with the exact
rapidity required by the selection rem
dered.-Philadelphia Ledger.

Young Loves Dream and Awakenin

Harry Hamilton, aged sixteen and
Annie Mead, aged fifteen, went to the
same school in Philadelphia. They be-
came attached to each other, and about
a year ago became engaged to be mar
ried. Owing to their youth, however,
the engagement was kept a secret, and
the parents endeavored to keep them
apart.
Monday Hamilton succeeded in getting
a note to Miss Mead in a grocery pack
age. The young girl escaped from home
and joined Hamilton. They went to
Camden and were married. They then
took the train for Wilkesbarre and Sc
cured board at Mrs. Reeves, on Union
street. Hamilton had a ten dollar note.
He gave it to the landlady, saying, "We
are solid for one week, anyhow, and can
spend u honeymoon in peace"
The young husband endeavOred to Sc
cure employment as a clerk, but as he
was not known he failed. His father ar
rived and took him home by the ear.
The young wife's sister came here on
Saturday and marched her back to Phil
adelphia. -Wilkesbarre Cor. Philadel-
