THE RESTLESS "
" AND DISSATISFIED.

Put on your thinking cap now,
for here are some ideas that should
awaken new interest in you for
those who toll. If you are rich
and do not labor, gather, if You
can, where your satisfaction comes
in. Following thoughts from APP
peal to Reason:
There is no just measure Of re-
ward other than human time. Any
article is the product of the efforts
of unnumbered thousands.
Take as common and simple an
article as a pin, and chase its for
nation thru all the channels that
brought it into existence, and you
will find every trade and science
has been used in its production.
The miners who dig and delve the
iron ont of which the machine is
made, the copper, the zinc, the
coal, the chemicals for smelling,
the machines and inventions for
making the machines, the trans
porters, the people who made the
food for the people doing these
works, and such as provide the
clothing, teaching, printing, the
entertainment, the fields, tanncries,
and shops that shod them, and so
on ad infnitum, until the whole
human family now living and
those past, have been the real pro-
duccrs of the pin. To compute
and compare to what each living
factor should have who is directly
occupied in the work and to what
extent each should receive the adj
vantage of what the dead have had
TO do with it, would require many
times the labor it takes to make
pins or any other article. If the
living factors were given the same
reward each would get many times
what they would get if the ncces-
sary number were taken away from
producing and given the account
ing of the reward each would have
as measured or pretended to be
measured in money.
The best pay to all would come
by giving to each the same time
share of the social products. Ev-
cry work that is essential should
receive the same pay for the same
time. When you pay one man 81
day and another s., you say one
man needs five times as much food,
five times as much clothing, five
times as much shelter and five
times as much instruction as the
other, and you know that is not
true. Each needs all he or she
can consume. More than that is
not needed, less than that is in
justice. Enough can be provided
for all, and such as demand or
claim more than another working
the same time are not honest or
intelligent, and the earth is filled
with crime and hatred and misery
because of such claims. And the
men who make such claims are the
ones who never produce. The
world has plenty for all, and much
more can be created, but we find
that those who produce wealth
are poor and in want, and those
who produce nothing have most of
what the others produce.
Life, as we live it, does not give
satisfaction to any, whether rich
or poor. | never meet Il man, no
matter how much wealth he has,
but admits that he is restless, dis
satisfied with the continued strug-
gle and uncertainty of life and
wealth. But they will not believe
it can be remedied, and of course
it never can until enough see it to
make laws and regulations govern

A KemRrhnble DisCoNerY.

A remarkable discovery has been
made by DR.. Peters, who has recently

city of Babylonia. While the workmen

the egg was placed there is mystery.
as 1t has no connection with any
known Babylonian custom. DR.. Pet
ers thinks that 1t may be looked upon
rs joke on the part OF one or more
of the ancient workmen, the object
Of which will probably never be known.
The temple was built at a very re-
mote time, probably in the reign OF
Akus-gal (B, C, 2200), or even earlier,
so that the egg is over 1000 years old.

COUNCILS AND THE LIBRARY,


From the Scranton Truth.
The lucid statement of the rights and response
biities Of the Albright Memorial library trustees
made by the president of the board, Hon. Alfred
Hand, deserves a careful reading. 1t demon.
strates most emphatically that the trustees can
not divide their important trust, or any part
of it, with the city councils, and that the recent
councimanic resolution contemplates an unwar.
rantabe invasion of the library management
which cannot be tolerated for one moment. The
plan and scope of the Albright Memorial building
and the Scranton Free Public Library are clearly
defined, and they do not contemplate any inter.
ference with the work of those who are entrusted
with carrying forward the benefcent design Of
this useful and admirable institution. Ii the
councils will devote their attention TO their prop
er duties, and bestow their vigilance Where it
rightfully belongs, they will find plenty to do,
and plenty of appreciation for doing it, Their
conduct of municipal affairs does not, however,
Justify the expectation that they could improve
in any degree upon the management of the free
public library, which is at present in the hands
of competent, intelligent and conscientious men.
