is o libel upon the great mass O

to them to say now that they would

What has been done in the Capital
Office has been done in every branch of
industry. The machine has taken the
place of the man. In many instances
the machine is operated by a woman
or by child. 1t performs the work of
several men and the woman or child
receives perhaps one half or two thirds
as much for operating it as one of the
men displaced by the machine for
merly received. Those who thus
adopt the machines are not to be
blamed for it, because the hard condi-
tions of our competitive system COM
pei them to resort to the cheaper meth
ods. 1t is our system that is wrong.
Under 1t every improvement in ma,
chinery operates to the injury of labor
instead of TO It's benefit as it should do,
and as it would do if our system was
right. Yet when we suggest any
change of the system designed to af-
ford equal opportunities to all men
these suggestions are characterized by
such papers as the Capital as the vsga-
ries Of a lunatic. And still these pa.
pers have no remedies of their own to
propose.
(3) There is one thing more that it
will be well for all thinking men and
women to seriously consider. Honest,
industrious men thrown out of en-
ployment and failing for q long time
to find any, are liable to become des-
perate. They can hardly be expected
to see their families suffering for the
neceSssries of life through no fault Of
their own, and still retain their respect
for the system which is responsible for
this condition or the government which
permits such system to continue. If
some Of them become desperate enough
to resort to robberies and burglaries,
these crimes are the crimes of society
rather than Of the individual. The
system which society tolerates and sus-
talns Is calculated to breed criminals,
and II they multiply society is to blame
for 1t. It is the chief duty Of the hour
to ind q remedy for the conditions
that are producing criminals, rather
than devote exclusive attention to the
detection and punishment of individ-
ual offenders. Change these condi.
tions 30 as to afford all men equal
in life and you will have
little need to carry guns.

The Editor Pro Tenn.

There is being published In Topeka
weekly paper whose appearance Is
not fsmiliar to many people outside
this county. 1t is called the Mail and
Breeze, the latter part of the name
hsVing been recently attached. Some
time ago che proprietors of that paper
conceived the very bright idea that a
more diversified editorship" would
be good thing for the paper, espe-
cislly If it incurred no extra cost. Ac-
cordingly they secured the services of
Rev. G. M. Sheldon, Eugene F. Ware,
Joseph G. Waters and A. L. Williams,
each of whom promised to edit for an
issue. Messrs. Sheldon and Ware got
