In these days Of keen competition, when the
majority of active mankind is engaged in con-
tinuous and unhealthy search for the almighty
dollar 1t is refreshing to note that such q great
corporation as the Lake Superior Iron Com
pany has by timely liberality established rela-
tons with its employees that cannot result in
anything but mutual prosperity. Until re-
Gently the wage earners on the company's rolls
toiled for ten hours each day and received
what was generally regarded as satisfactory
recompense. With that condition the company
might have been content but il was not. 1t
proposed a reduction of each working day to
eight hours, and, strangely enough, did not
propose any reduction of pay. Very cheerfully
was the scheme Endorsed by those whom it was
primarily intended to benefit, for they held q
meeting and notified the management that they
would endeavor to do as much work in eight
hours as they had previously done in ten. That
they will do it is highly probable. Experiment
in that direction has proven its possibility. The
example Is q good one.

OF the many reports which will be made to
the general assembly of the Presbyterian
Church, now in session in this city, none will
be so generally read or more frequently dis
cussed than that whieh-printed in a recent
issue OF The STAR-deals with what is un-
dcubtedly to be the question of the twentieth
century, viz the temperance question. The
conclusions reached by the assembly's
permanent committee on temperance are
not In any sense surprising; in fact.
none other were expected. 1t would be mani
testify impossible for a religious body founded
on the highest forms Of true morality to even
hint at policy which it believes to be a
compromise with evileven although its common
every day sense insisted that a licensed liquor
traffic must be preferable to q governmental
condition which in many places allowed the sale
OF intoxicants to proceed without any hindrance
whatsoever. In the report it appears that no
where among all the presbyteries and church
sessions Is there advocacy Of or apology
Tor the present license system; all are arrayed
with the prohibition element A church in
Illinois Is quoted to show that a license fee of
Sl.0oO did reduce the number Of saloons. but
the volume OF sales suffered no diminutiou.
One Pennsylvania presbytery regards high
license as an utter failure. another saws that it
only gives respectsbility to the traffic.

other crimes and vices. From these premises
it is argued that having licensed the sale of in
toxicants ii is logically impossible to refuse
similar protective privileges to prostitution
and gambling. This alleged impossibility has
undoubtedly been recognized in several cities,
notably in Omaha, where the two varieties Of
vice referred to are by schedule Of fines
virtually licensed. Turning away from home.
the committee unequivocally condemns the
Gothenburg or public conduct system and
claims that under the operation of those regu-
lations in Sweden the per capita consumption
of ardent spirits has increased. From beginning
to end the document is a scathing indictment
and against many Of its charges no defense
that will stand can possibly be set up, but there
Is weakness in the prosecution because 1t fails
to take note Of present social conditions. Ad-
hitting that strong drink is the cause Of ninety
five per cent Of our crime-that it fills our
jails and insane asylums and poor houses and
costs US countless millions for remedial and re-
pressive measures-it should be borne in mind
that great proportion of our people drink it of
their own free will, and that millions OF them
will continue to drink it until they die. The
time will never come when any law that has not
1~AAN ~ shc AoASO VI PuOAtC can even
be reasonably enforced. The primary work to
which the advocates Of prohibition should ad-
dress themselves is the conversion of the indi-
vidual, and when suficiency of these have de-
cided in favor Of total abstinence it will be DOS
sible to legislate prohibition and to make that
legislation effective. As one eminent at
tendant upon Presbyterian means of grace
has said ut Is q condition and not theory
which confronts u.s." High license will wipe
out the low dives; it centralizes the
traffic and makes authoritative and all other
forms Of supervision comparatively easy;
1t is practical In our large cities it is a more
effective prohibitive measure than legislative
prohibition. imposed in opposition to local
urban sentiment by the outside rural voters.
1t will be great day for this country when the
majority decides to trample on every remnant
Of immortality, when men and women shall be
greater than their appetites, when justice shall
everywhere be supreme and the golden rule
shines as the sun, when the nations shall war
DO more and the lion and the lamb-each re-
tanning his individuality-shan lie down to-
gether.
But that day is not yet.

Summer time is not far AWAY. and although

Summer time is not far away, and although
ventilation is something that should receive
attention all the year round its necessity is
most apparent when there is either extreme
atmospheric heat or cold. Many people suffer
great discomfort from a failure to exercise the
most ordinary kind Of sense in this important
matter, while many more achieve disease and
death through disregard Of generally we'll
known principles. But these ills do not
always have their origin in the peoples
homes. and but few cases owe their birth to
places Of public amusement, for the desire Of
intelligent beings to be comfortable controls the
doors and windows of their domiclles. while the
almighty dollar impels the management of thea
tiers and concert halls to ventiate after the most
approved methods. But the weak spots are the
churches. Washington has a number of fine
edifces devoted to religious work, and only few
Of them are SO equipped to provide their
congregations with plentiful supply Of the
purest and coolest air available. In the others
things are so msarranged and mismanaged as TO
make the exhaustion Of oxygen, and conse-
quent congregational drowsiness as easy as the
proverbial rolling off log" With every sa-
loon in the city provided with electric fans and
other aids to low temperature it may be ques-
toned whether there is worldly wisdom in pro-
viding those places where the conscience may be
aroused with anti-hygienic and repellant means

dition in which they respond to no appeal.
Truths that would strike directly home in

prano's Hottest note. This is the time when
those in authority should see to it that the

great many people-and that means a great
many newspapers-who would like to discuss
the Sunday opening Of the Worlds Fair are
estopped just now by the fact that an existing
contract between the United States and the
Chicago managers Of the exposition compels
the gates to remain closed on the first dsy of
each week. OF its own accord Chicago came to
Congress and asked for aive-million dollar con-
tribution. The national legislature expressed
its willingness to donate one half that amount in
half dollars that would probably sell for dollar
each but insisted that If such a
gift was made it would be only
upon the condition that the fair should be closed
to the public on the Sabbath. On those terms
the bargain was concluded; Chicago being pre-
sented with e, SOC, 900, which it proceeded to
sell at an advance Of one hundred per cent,
while Congress received Chicago's assurance
that the Exposition would be open only on week
days. That agreement is still in active exist
ence, and so long as it has life 1t must be re-
spec.ed. II Chicago really believes that for
moral and financial reasons the show should be
open Sundays, it must, of course, return at
once to the Treasury the cash which was OBJ
tanned on the Sunday closing condition
1t has been intimated that the local
directorate Of the exposition proposes to dis
regard its obligation, defy the law, use the
money conditionally offered by the United
States, and when the fair is over, if by any
chance the money! is on hand and available after
payment Of other debts, return to Congress
the sum it secured under the violated contract.
Such a procedure would never do. 1t would
damage the city's good name more effectually
than great CONGREGATIONS could iniure its credit.
II Chicago is sincere in its efforts to bring about
Sunday opening let it first deposit in the Treas
ury conscience fund-if there il no more legiti-
mate place Of bestowal--every dollar it received
under the agreement When that has been
done then it will be possible for people who
respect a contract to discuss the Sunday OPEN
