short, how to increase his share of ma
terial weH-belng-this is the labor
problem.
It is acutest in England and the
United States, and these countries
have done the most for its solution.
Efforts to deal with it have been both
public and private On the one hand
we have had long line of factory
regulations and short hour laws; on
the other, numerous individual expert
ments by large-minded employers, in
terested in labor's welfare and anxious
to apply progressive ideas in practical
way.
1t Will be interesting to look, for a
moment, at one of these private expert
ments. refer to the system OF labor
insurance and pensions adopted by Mr..
Alfred Dodge in his large felt-malzing
establishment, employing some coo
hands. al Dolgeville, New York.
This is not profit-sharing scheme.
Mr.. Dodge recognizes the fact that
profits are distinctly the employers
income, determined by economic law;
and hence that any plan of sharing
them can rest only on the optional
good will or philanthropy of individ-
uals, and cannot be made permanent,
seif-worlSing part Of the wage system.
Between 1880 and 1890 Mr.. Dodge expert
mented with various forms of profit
sharing, but, in the latter year, ADAM
doned them all and established his
present famous system of pensions and
life insurance, which he calls earnings
sharing The extra allowances to his
employees under this system are to
be regarded merely as another form of
wages. They are not taken out of
wages, however. but are definite addi-
ton to what the employees regularly re-
ceise for their services.
The system has three distinct fea-
lures: life insurance, endowment and
4 pension.
The life insurance plan is this: Every
iemploye entering the service at any
time under 80 years Of age, who has
seryed Ave years continuously after the
Pine Bluff daily graphic. (Pine Bluff, Ark.) 1893-1942, 1898-04-03

One of the best evidences that the
labor problem is on the road TO selu-
ton is the fact that never before has
it been the subject of such intense.
anxious and universal discussion. Over
this problem, in some form or other,
economists, statesmen and philanthrox
pists worry, and the press wrangles.
Some people imagine and dolefully pro-
claim that all this ferment merely
proves that the labor problem is get
ting farther and farther away from
solution. On the contrary, ferment is
the sign Of progress. In China and In
Ola they have not even reached the
stage Of having labor problem at all.
Better, far better, long transition
period of industrial warfare. even, than
the weary monotony and degradation
of the industrial peace of the orient.
Burt what is this labor problem, any
way? may be asked. Commonly we
hear it described as the problem of
how to suppress strikes, and lock up
strike leaders; how to put down riots,
how to make laborers contented for
evermore with what they now get, and
so on.
Such a definition is idiotic. and to adj
here to it is only to hasten the day of
possible social revolution. Strikes
and riots are the manifestations of u
genuine problem, which must be
reached ut the base. Sitting on the
safety valve never yet kept the steam
inside a boiler The labor problem is
the problem of how to improve the ma
terial and social condition of the wage
earners, who are large majority of
lis all. How TO enable the worlsingman
to raise his standard of life, broaden
his social relations, educate his chill
dren, enjoy more leisure, provide for
emergencies and old age without long
years of stinting and sacrifice; how to
guard him from enforced idleness; in

! Francois Arago, the great French
! scientist, was Il precociops youth. He
was prepared for the rigid examinations
of the Ecole Polyteehnique before he
was II years old. NJ. De Aiirecourt tells
a Characteristic anecdote concerning
Aragos examination.
The examiner was almost brutal in
his manner toward the young candi-
dates. A favorite companion Of Arago
was badly frightened at his severe ques-
tions and failed to pass the examina-
ton. At length Arago's turn came.
Young man. said the examiner.

as your companion. I advise you to go
and complete your studies before you
risk this examination"
Monsieur, replied the boy, "timidity
was all that prevented my companion
from passing. He knew much more
than he seemed to know"
''Timidity" exclaimed the examiner.
"The excuse of foolsl Perhaps you are
timid Also
Far from it." returned Arago, short
~.
Take care. Itwould be wise to spare
yourself the disgrace of being re-
jected."
THE disgrace for me would lie in not
being examined, said the young can
didate, proudly.
Arago's solution of the problems set
before him was so accurate and SO bril-
liant that at last his examiner sprang
from his chair, and throwing his arms
about the boys neck in delight, ex-
claimed
Bravo! If you are not received into
the Ecole Polyteehnidue, no one win be
admitted"
And he then began a career which
added greatly to the stock of human
knowledge.-Youth's Companion.

their refusal to remove their hats in the
presence of the civil magistrate; but
the blame for this would seem to have

into which they considered themselves
TO have been unjustly thrust 1t was
this continual persecution of the Quak-
ers, in the west of England particularly,
that 1T length moved the council to en-
phatically interfere on their behalf. In
November. 1857, rennonstrance, signed
by five Friends, was presented to the
council, specially complaining of the
prosecutions at Exeter, and Henry Law
renee, the president of the council, at
once forwarded a letter to the justices
Of the peace, not only in Devon, but
ether counties. dealing with the mat
