WORKING FOR PAY.
Are We Making Progress Toward Equali-
ty OF Opportunity?


Taking the whole number of persons
engaged in all remunerative or gainful
occupations, I find that in 1860 such
persons constituted 20. 10 per cent of the
whole population. In 1870 this percent
age had increased to 32. 43, in 1880 to
346S, while in 1890 it was 80. 81, an
increase Of more than 10 per cent, rela-
lively, in one generation, the period
from 1860 to 1890. This, it should be
borne in mind, is the percentage Of the
total number Of persons engaged in
gainful occupations Of the total popula-
ton. If we examine now the percent
age which this total number of persons
engaged in all gainful occupations is of
the persons 10 years of age and over,
which is the truer comparison, we find
that the increase has been as regular,
but little greater, for in 1860 it was
80. 70 and in 1890 1915, an increase Of
over II per cent, relatively, in the 80
years named. This fact alone, it seems
to me, answers conclusively and def
nitely the question we are considering If
the total number of persons engaged in
gainful occupations stood still relative
to the population, the argument would
not be so clearly carried, but with
constant and persistent increase in the
relative proportions of this class of peo-
pie to the whole number of population,
and to the whole number 10 years of
age and over, there can be no other an
swer than an affirmative one.
These figures prove conclusively that
we are not only making real progress
toward greater opportunity, but to-
ward a greater equality of opportunity
in social and industrial life, and they
completely kill all arguments made to
prove that machinery, the influence Of
invention, displaces labor, so far as So
ciety as whole is concerned 1t would
be absurd to argue for single moment
that the introduction Of machinery has
not in many instances displaced indi-
yidualS and reduced them not only to
relative poverty but to pauperism. The
answer cannot we'll be made to the in
dividual, but the facts cited prove that
SO far as the whole body of the people
is concerned there is no such displace-
ment, and study Of the expansive in
fiuence of machinery and invention by
the statistical method further proves the
value of the argument The vast num-
Der of new openings, never before
known, resulting from inventions, offers
the best proof i'll this direction, and it
offers, too, proof that one line of oppor
tunity will be abandoned when another
of a more profitable nature opens. -Car-

The people out along the line
of the Northern Pacific are badly
excited over the location of the
Northern Pacific division terminals.
Since the big fire at Sprague there
is talk of changing the divisions,
making Spokane, or some point a
few miles east Of Spokane, the term
inal, and abandoning Sprague.
This change would also knock out
the town of Hope in this county.
The people of Rathdrum have rail
way aspirations. They claim that
the heavy grades east Of Rathdrum
are in their favor and that it would
cost big sum for grounds and
grading at Spokane. Some Of the
knowing ones predict that the term
mails will be at Rathdrum and
Thompson Falls.

MILWAUKEE, Wis, Aug. 26-Judge
Seaman relieved the anxiety which has
existed in the minds Of hundreds of farm
ers throughout the state as to the title
which they hold to their lands by dis
missing the suits of ejeotment brought
by the heirs Of the late Major Alexander
s. Hooe. The suits were brought against
Frederick Werner and Frank Delautke,
Washington county farmers.
Major Hooe died in 1887, giving his
widow life estate in his property, which
included thousands Of acres Of the finest
farming land In the state. She, however,
quitclaimed tho land in controversy to
different parties and 1t has passed with.
out question into the hands of the present
owners. 1t Is contsnded by the Hooe
heirs that the widow Of Major Hooe
could only sell her life estate, and that
consequently on her death all the prop
erty reverted to them. In every instance
great Improvements have been made on
all the land
