WHY EIGHT HOURS:

Because with the present long hours
many are unemployed, and the man on
the street fixes the wages paid to the
man at work.
Labor saving machinery has increas-
ed the producing capacity of workmen,
who in justice should be afforded more
leisure.
The eight-hour day would increase
the longevity of the workers.
1t would give greater opportunity for
social and educational development.
1t would raise the standard of living,
upon which prosperity depends.
1t would help the tax payer by put
ting the tramp to work.
1t would promote an independent
spirit which is lacking in overworked
people.
1t would build up trades unions, and
concentrated effort is the law of sue
cess in the militant world of industry.
1t would open up the road to every
desirable social reform.
1t would give men a chance to get
acquainted with their families.
1t would promote temperance by re-
moving the desire for stimulants which
comes from long hours of labor.
1t would make better citizens by Civ
ing the citizen more time to understand
his duties

OVERPRODUCTION.

There is too much of all things in this
world; too many men, an Oversupply Of
vituals. too many houses, too many
articles of luxury, etc. Here is, as we
are told. the true fountain of all our
economic ills. So we find the arms Of
many reformers extended to strike at
overproduction. They have made pro-
positions for an International agree
ment with the intention of reducing the
working hours by uniform legislation
We cannot but give expression to our
conviction that legislation alone will
never change anything in the state of
a society. In this case the workingmen
have to form an independent power
solid bodies having the defense of the
material and intellectual interests Of
existence. Overproduction in nonsensi-
cal in a we'll constructed and wisely
governed society of men. There is no
sense in producing more'th the wants
of men demand. That millions of hui
man beings, however, have to go with
out the necessaries of life, simply be-
cause there is too much of everything
cannot make us think otherwise but
that the state of our society is I'M
healthy.
How to change this? The consumers
must be provided with the means to
buy more. The consumers are the
working people. What they need is not
a restriction of production, which would
in no way deliver them from their mis-
cry, but a larger share of the products
they have created.
The workday must be reduced not
in order to limit the production, but to
set more men to work for the time be-
| ing, and mainly to cultivate pure and
healthy wants in every wage-earner,
which will change the masses of the
people into nobler and better men.
True and lasting progress is not so
much in machines, in scientific dis
coveries, in works of art, as in men.
Let the latter ones remain barbarians,
which in their hearts they are today,
and the ruin Or disparition of the form
er ones will be but question of time.
The legislative act capable to work
most good in this would be the aboli-
ton OF all measures passed to the pre-
judice of the free association of the
workingmen.

IA FIRST AVENUE WEST.

According to Burns, the whole
world is a rush. Nine out of ten
messages he received day are accom-
panied with a request to rush them.
Some people, too, often ask whethe,
they cannot get money to New York
in three minutes, so as to reach Il
bank before it closes. Others ask if
they can arrange to have an answer
sent to their messages to Oshkosh,
Rochester and Boston within fifteen
minutes. A telegraph clerk does not
promise answers within any stated
time. He does his part, he thinks,
when he gets your message upstuirs,
after showing you how you used too
many words.
There are thousands in the world,
Burns says, who have not yet learned
how to send a telegram. Many write
letters on the blanks and expect them
to go for twenty five cents anywhere

Sergeant Fred Huntoon of Ann Ar
Dor, Mich. is serving Uncle Sam in the
Philippines, and writes the following
physical geography on what Private
O'Toole says about the islands:
''The Philippines are bunch of trou-
BILE gathered together on the western
horizon of civilization.
"They are bounded on the west by
hoodooism and smugglers on the north
by rocks and destruction; on the east
by typhoons and monsoons; and on the
south by cannibals and earthquakes.
THE climate is a combination of cleo
trical changes, especially adapted to
raising cain. The soil is extraordinary
ly fertile in producing large crops of
insurrection and trickery. The inhabit-
ants are very industrious, the chief oc-
cupation being trench building, the
making of belos and knives, and the re-
loading of Remington cartridges. Their
amusements are cock fighting, monta
theft and cheating. Their diet consists
of boiled rice, stewed rice, fried rice and
rice. -

are rice, hemp, sick soldiers and war

1.-The principal imports are American
Soldiers, arms, ammunition, beer and

Malaria is so prevalent that on num-

islands by substituting the mosquito
for the carrier pigeon, the mosquito be-

stand the fatigue of the journey.
1.-THE native costume consists of a
flour sack tied around the waist, and
anything under twelve years of age
waits until next year for it's clothes.

The Importance of America in the
group Of nations can be seen by refer
ence to statistics on production. With
in it's own borders the United States
now produces eight-tenths of all the
worlds cotton and corn, one-quarter Of
all it's wheat, one-third of all it's coal,
more gold than any other country save
Africa, and more manufactured goods
than England, France, and Germany
combined. And yet, Notwithstanding
this wonderful surplus, thousands suf-

food and raiment to properly nOurish
and clothe their bodies. Our productive
