IN one case in particular was his tes-

something about the case Of Fleurv.
the St. Paul bank robber. It will be-
remembered that when the last legis-

Child labor in factories is generally
defended-when it is defended-on the
ground that it helps to support fami-
lies. To this claim a writer in the
Charities Review interposes the sound
objection that the wages of young
children are seldom large enough to
make the difference between pauperism
and independence. When a family re-
lies on these wages, it is pretty sure
to depend also on help from public
or private agencies. Therefore, since
child labor too often undermines both
health and morals, why not increase
the charity fund, and put the child to
school? Viewing the problem merely
as matter of arithmetic, it would be
cheaper to support a good many un-
fortunate people than it will be, later
on, to defend society against their ig.
norant or vicious children.

One of the most interesting features
of the great strike of engineers in Eng
land has been pointed out by Professor
Bryce, the distinguished author Of
1.-THE American Commonwealth" Pro-
lessor Bryce has been looking into the
matter, and says he finds that several
branches Of British engineering have
come to the United States as result
of the paralysis of industry caused by
the strike. This, of course, is a good
thing for us and an exceedingly bad
thing for Great Britain. When losses
of all kinds come to be reckoned up
it will be found that the engineers
strike has been one of the most disas-
trOus in history.

Affecting Lumbermen.

Black River Falls, Mimi, Special
The recent fall of snow will make
rather expensive work for lumbermens
to get logging roads in shape for the
winter, and it will make skidding
bad in swampy places, as the ground !
is soft, and the early fall of snow is
liable to make trouble for all who.
have been picking up scattering tim
Der on low lands. The ten inches Of
snow in the woods will keep the
marshes from freezing, and work in
the pineries is both disagreeable and
expensive. Men and teams are work
ing their way towards the woods In
much better spirits than last fall-as
wages in most cases are from Sc to $40
a month better than for the past three
years. &=.. Sl&S #s

1t is a typical Massachusetts town
OF which one of the veteran officials
states suggestive fact-that the ag-
gregate values of the pianos. organs,
sewing-machines, carpets and similar
articles of luxury now owned therein
exceed the whole valuation of the
town as it was forty years ago. In
1857 only a fraction of the so-called
rich possessed such Injuries, which in
1897 are found in every household
SO many concrete proofs that, for all
the loose talk of the disconnected, the
American standard of life and comfort
tends constantly to rise.
