The Unemploved

1t is becoming the fashion now to
help the relief and park fund, and the
headquarters in the Wilcox block are
the scene Of many happy little occur
rences. The latest gift is q cape and
a parasol of ostrich feathers. given by
the South Pasadena ostrich farm. The
articles are on exhibition in Montgom-
ery's window on Spring street, and are
attracting great deal of attention. It
is not yet decided what disposition will
be made Of them.
The Shaw piano tickets are selling
we'll, and it is hoped will net the fund
a good sum. The committee is begin
ming to feel anxious about the fund, as
it has already been obliged to lay off
fifty men, only one hundred and sixty
now being employed
All that could be sent into the country
have gone. but the applications for work
still continue, in spite Of all that has
been done.

by the last Of next week. This will form
the cheapest piece OF railway construc-

such facts to the attention of all inva-
lids. that they may be benefited thereby.
He considers it his professional duty
duty which he owes to suffering hu-
manity-to donate his infallible cure to
all afflicted.
Chemistry and Science are daily as
tonishing the world with new wonders.
1t is no longer safe to say that anything
may not be achieved. The researches
and experiments Of this great chemist,
patiently carried on for years, have cul-
minated in results as beneficial to HUI
manity as can be claimed for any mod
ern genius or philosopher.

a bankrupt world. Now, free trade
would have tendency in this direc-
tion. Then will say Mr.. Kinney, "Your
proposition is that the more we produce
the less we get" Exactly. But the rea-
son OF this paradox is found in the COM
petitive system under which we are at
present producing goods. say "at pres
ent," for it certainly must occur to any
reasonable man that as the control of
man over nature is constantly increas-
ing with every new discovery in science,
not to mention the completion of much
machinery now in course of construc-
tion, that sooner or later the production
of goods will so far outrun any conceiv-
able method Of distribution under the
present competitive wage system thai
In sheer defense against universal bank
ruptcy a change of systems must be
brought about. The laborers are the
great consumers, and 1t is simply i'm
possible for them to demand more wages
as long as wages are determined by
competition against themselves. There
are always some unemployed, and the
unemployed man never can demand as
wages anything much above the mini
mum required for subsistence. This is
the standard rate Of wages the world
over. In Los Angeles it is difficult for
a man to live on less than dollar day,
and hence a dollar a day is about the
standard minimum wage. If the cost Of
living Is reduced then wages will fall and
the only chance for wages to- rise is a
rise in the cost OF food and rent. If
the productiveness Of labor were in
creased twenty fold. the laborer would
not get q cent added to his wages. A
laborer in a year-old orange grove,
where the product is nothing, gets the
same wages as the laborer in the ten
year-old grove. The miner in a rich
mine gets the same wages as the miner
in the poor mine.
1t is the most familiar fact In busi-
ness life that employees wages are de-
termined by causes very remote from
the profits of the business.
The railroad tottering into the re-
ceiver's hands pays the same wages as
the most prosperous road.
The sugar trust, paying millions an
nually in dividends, grinds 9ts laborers
down to the last notch.
Now, Mr.. Kinney, you suggest that
a relief to economic and social ills will
come ABOUT when we are WISE eIlOuSA
to abandon our broken down and dis
credited representative system and
adopt direct legislation through the use
of the initiative and referendum. Let
the people speak in no uncertain voice,
and they will soon declare what they
wish to be done. Very well. Direct leg
islation, while an eminently good thing,
the most important reform now before
us to adopt, is but a menas to the end.

IT Is MRS. FIELDS WISH
Why the Chief Justice Will Not Re-
tire From the Bench in July

Some little time ago Justice Field of
the supreme court announced to his
friends that some time during the month
Of July he proposed to retire from the
bench, as he would then have accom-
plished his aim Of surprising all pre-
vious terms Of service In the august
body. Since that announcement was
made the venerable justice has appar-
emily changed his mind, and 1t is under
stood that the cause of this is the influ-
ence Of Mrs. Field herself. She desires
the justice not to relinquish his high Of
flee for a year or two and her reasons
are understood to be purely social ones.
She is fond of entertaining. and Is q
pronounced favorite in all social circles.
AS the wife Of an active Justice of the
supreme court she has the very highest
rankin official life in Washington rank
which she would be compelled to aban-
don If the justice went on the retired
list. Almost every one knows that JUS
tice Field was born in 1916, and hence
is now in his S1st year. 1t is generally
understood that Mrs. Field is more than
score of years the Junior of the dis
tinguished jurist. and Is not yet three
score. Her hair is still dark, and her
face shows Vat few evidences of her in
creasing years. 1t is said to be Mrs.
Fields desire to spend some time yet in
active society before the retirement of
her husband. and the justice has vir-
tually decided to accede to his wife's re-
guest to postpone his departure from the
bench.
This unexpected determination upon
his part will effectually prevent one or

practically agreed upon prior to the in
auguration Of President Mckinley. 1t
was generally understood that Attor-
ney General McKenna would succeed to
Justice Fields place on the supreme
bench. as the vacancy would naturally
be filled by some one from the Pacific
coast.
Judge A. j. Waymire was generally
slated for the attorney generalship in
case Of Mr.. McKenna's promotion, and
there was possibility that after mat
ters had quieted down General McCook
of New York might be given the attor-
ney generalship, on the theory that the
Pacific coast Republicans would be suf-
ficiently rewarded by the elevation of
one of their number to the supreme
bench. The latest decision of Justice
Field, due entirely to Mrs. Fields per-
sonal wish, has upset these combina-
tions entirely, for If he agrees to stay
a year or two. there is no telling but
that he may decide to remain on the
bench during the whole Of the present
administration, and thus President Nc
Kinley will have no opportunity to put
a man on the supreme bench unless a
death should intervene.-Washingt
