The Supreme Court of Illinois declares
the weekly pay law passed by the last

tract necessarily includes the right to fix
the price ut which labor will be performed

The Hon. John E Russell tells
the Boston Globe that the "elec-
ton in Massachusetts demon
strates one thing dccisivcly, and
that is that the people of that
State are not prepared for and
arc' decidedly opposed to any
meddling with the tariff" We
guess Mr.. Russell is right.

The New York Post tells the

while Others who may be skilled
workmen.in some branch of bust
ness are able to make Il living
promptly enough; in addition to
the foreigners the population of
our cities is all the time being
swclled by young men and wO-
men who have been raised on
farms in our country. City life
the while seems to have n mys-
tcrious fascination for a vast
number Of these young people,
and they are in the aggregate all
the increasing city population i'll
large numbers. Some of them
succeed in life while the great bulk
fall into the common rut and
never get above one kind or an
other of mental service avoca-
tions. The saving has often been
repeated that Con made the couu-
try and man made the towns.
Certain it is that when human
beings are gathered i'll large cit.
les there is always a tendency
worked up towards dcmoraliza-
ton. In one form or another
there must always be scum and
otf-scouring, in bad districts and
dens of vice.
The temptations towards a vi
cious life are many and strong,
and many of the young people
from the country who enter city
life are drawn into the maclStrOm
OF vice and immortality. In our
day there is unbOundcd thirst for
great wealth and for all the lux
ury and renOWn which 1t brings.
As a matter of course farming
will never enable the ambitious
Young man or woman to attain
great riches, hence the common
disposition to leave the farm and
take to the city and take the
chance to strike some Opportuni-
ty to get on the high road to
wealth and great distinction.
The portion of the worlds popu-
lation engaged in farming have
an easy task to produce enough
food and raimcnt for the needs
OF all the consumers in the world
The introduction of new farm
implements during the past quar-
ter of century has operated as
to make the labor of one man
equal to about six under the old
fogy system of farming as it was
carried on seventy-hvc years ago
and these newly invented farm
implements are now distributed
over nearly all the agricultural
world; all these matters will
naturally have their weight in
inducing the young men of the
country to leave the farm for city
life. The statistics relating to
pauperism and crime, collected
for the eleventh census, tell their
own story with such startling
plainness that comment upon
them seems scarcely necessary.
What the figures show is that a
large number of American BOYS
are becoming criminals and filling
our prisons because of lack of oc-
cupatiOn. They are denied the
