will not allow a uflion- employer to. hire non-union labor, even though his business is suffering for want of help? There does not seem to be much con sistency in such laws. The biggest .rat," as they themselves say, may hold responsible position in the non union office. which very often can pay good wages to one or two men, be- cause there is no union law requiring them to pay the balance of the help living wages. It is such cases as this that sets employers to wondering where it will all end If worker is not satisfied with good thing, that is with steady wages and the salary his trade calls for, where IS the protec- ton for the employer? He is at the mercy of the men, and it is such ac- tions as the one referred to that very often gives the union and the label black eye Perhaps our friends, Com pers and O'ConnelI, will explain ana make clear a few such instances as we have quoted this evening. The Dem ocrat certainly would like enlighten- ment on the question whether it comes from them or any one else interested in the cause of labor.

Speaking of MeISinley's course in regard to our new possessions, q writer says that twill be remembered that the Porto Rfeans hailed our troops with great enthusiasm when they landed in the island. The na- tiyes at that time supposed that an nexation to the United States would usher in for them s.the year of jubi- lee" They reasonably supposed that they would enjoy. all the rights and privileges of American citizens. But their joy was short lived The mil llonaires back of the sugar and tobacco trusts did not putpo that their enor- nous profits should be cut down be- cause Porto Rico. had become United States territory. Mckinley, in his an- fnual message to congress, had de eiared that it-was only just that the Porto Ricans should have free access to the American markets. Two months after making this declaration be signed q bin which imposed duties CA@ Il VI tO AaASdn lSlup1cS. uc lIuSt magnates had snapped their whip and their servant in the White House had obeyed The crushing effect of the new duties viii be understood when it is stated that they shut off Porto Ri cans from the only profitable market open to them Before annexation they had free access to the Spanish and Cuban markets. When they trans ferred their allegiance to the Stars and Stripes they lost this advantage. If the trusts hadp not put up the bars against them they could have recouped themselves for their Joss by disposing of their products in the American market. But this would strike off a certain percentage from the enormous profits of fhe trusts. It was justice and humanity on one side, and insati- ate greed on thesother. Greed carried the day.

Recruiting stations in the Bay state and other parts of the country must have been more successful than was the one in Waterbury, for the Boston Herald says that according to the re- ports from the. war department, re- cruiting for the army has been pro- gressing at a very satisfactory rate. Already several of the new regiments authorized by the reorganization bill have been collected, and battarons of both infantry and cavalry have been forwarded to the Philippines. It is said that the quality of the men accept ed for enlistment has been excellent. The turn for the better in Philippine affairs has doubtless made the officers careful in the selection of men for there is not now need of furnishing troops in a rush. The statistics of the recruiting offices show some rather strange figures. For instance in New York but fourteen men were accepted out of every 100 applicants. In Boston r per cent passed while in Chicago and Philadelphia 9 per cent were talk en. These figures would seem to point to one of two conclusions: Either the recruiting officers in New York. and Boston are very much stricter than those of Philadelphia and Chicago, or the men from the first two cities who apply for eniistment are decidedly in- ferfor physically to those of the latter. It.is, of course. wise. policy to select only the best for our army, especially when they are intended for service in tropical countries.

mitted to full membership in the So
 ciety of Jesus. He is generally we'll
 on in the thirties and has spent about
 seventeen years training for his work.
 Every detail of the routine of the
 Jesuit novitiate takes into account the
 object of the society to train it's mem
 bers in spirit of obedience, which is more perfect than is required of men
 in any other calling. Jesuit obedience
 is blind, unquestioning obedience
 it is obedience not only of the will.
 but of the judgment, so that a Jesuit
 not only must do what he is command
 ed to do, but also is required to re-
 gard what is commanded as the best
 thing possible for him. Abstention
 from any mental criticism of su-
 perior's order is required. Some men
 cannot attain to this perfection of obe-
 dience and withdraw from the society
 on that account. An army officer who
 had been for some time in the novice
 ship and had withdrawn from it be-
 cause he could not comply with these
 requirements, explained the difference
 between military and Jesuit obedience:
 Tn the army" he said,. you must do
 what you are told, but you can re-
 lieve your feelings by swearing men
 tally at your colonel, but you cannot do that In the Society of Jesus.''
 Although Jesuits are permitted to have no personal adornment, they are usually lovers of art and delight in the ornamentation of their churches ana chapels. In the novitiate at Freder- ick are many valuable works of art, which will be removed to St Andrew when the migration of the colnmu-
 nity takes place. Paintings by Itar- ian masters, beautiful marble statu- ary. statues carved from wood by celebrated Spanish carvers, and many exquisite specimens of the jewellers and goldsmiths' art make up the col lection. A beautiful article in the col lection is a chalice which has an un-
 usual history. Young men entering the novitiate are required to abandon
 whatever they may have in the way
 of JeWelry. For many years gold and silver watches, jewelry, rings and pins were donated to q collection,
 which when of sufficient size was turned over to a jeweler, who COIL verted the metals and jewels into this chalice, . triumph of art.
 The number of Jesuits in America is increasing. The principal reason for the removal of the novitiate from Frederick in St. Andrew is that the old building in the historic Maryland town is no longer large enough to ,lc- commodate all the young men seeking admission. The transfer to the new site on the Hudson will probably, therefore, be followed by an increase in the number of novices, and in the course of time by corresponding en- 1argement of the corps of Jesuit mis- sionaries in America

FOUR YEARS ON PIECE OF COPY

V
 Hudson Maxim, the inventor of smokeless powder, is, a believer in good advertising writing. "When was in the publishing business in Pittsfeld, Mass, some years ago. said Mir Max i'm to representative of the National Advertiser this week, my partner, Sam Knowles, and I worked over one advertisement for four years before we got 1t to suit us exactly. The pro cess of perfecting it went bn gradually. We took away from it or added to it little by little until. we were both en- tirely satisfied with it; when we con sidered it perfect that advertisement did business for us in the newspapers for fifteen years. It was headed Three dollars a Day Sure and told how per- sons might make money working for us in addition to working for them selves.
 Mir Maxim says that the advertise ment from which the firm received most replies was sblind advertise ment,'' that is, one in which absolute ly no intimation was given as to what the business was. It simply proposed to send an ''outfit' for one dollar, by means of which the recipient could make good living. At the same time,' said Mir Maxim, while we re- ceived three times as many replies to that advertisement as to any other one we ever printed, it fell far short of being the most profitable. In fact, we lost money on it. There was no profit in sending out these outfits unless the people who received them went to work in our line About two-thirds of the people who ordered the outfits did so apparently out of curiosity, with no intention of working, and so all we got out of 1t was an interesting bit of experience in the advertising line.

City hall will no doubt be crowded tonight, when the great labor leaders Gompers and O'Conne1l will make ad- dresses. At the present time there seems to be q greater feeling of un- restSamong the workers than ever be- fore. and why this is so 1t is not easy to understand. No doubt the lecturers this evening will explain it. Laborers should remember that the manufac- .turer or the boss cannot pay two dollars to man if his work will bring but one dollar return. This labor ques- ton is one that must be handled in- telligently, and it would appear that there is more need for care now than ever before. Men should not expect more wages than the business Will warrant. We have in mind recent case where two tradesmen were work ing apparently satisfied in an office which carries the union label, one of them receiving more than the union scale of wages, the other getting the scale, but doing less work than men are asked to do in other cities for the same amount of money. Yet these men were uneasy, and finally threw up their jobs with less than a weeks notice, leaving their former employer in the lurch, as the saying is. What did they do? They went to a non- union 6dice, an office which has snapped it's fingers at the union label and union labor. Why did they go? They were perhaps offered a few dol lars more per week. But whas kind of law is it that will allow a union

Fr,c.,onal Effect of Trains on Air.

An exceptionally important paper
dealing with the frictional effect of
railway trains upon the air has recent
ly been published by the st. Louis
Academy of Science. This inxestiga-
lion was undertaken by Professor F.
E. Nipher, at the request of leading
railroad, and was the sequel Of law
suit in which the railroad was defeated.
In the case referred to boy, standing
near the track, was overthrown by a
rapidly passing train, rolled under the
wheels and killed. The evidence
showed that he was not struck by the
train, but was overwhelmed by the air
suction and dragged under. The SUI
preme court of Missouri, however, re-
pudiated the evidence of two leading
scientific men as to the probability of
death being caused in such way, and
denied, by inference, the possibility Of
such effects, with which everybody who
has ever stood by fast moving train
is familiar. The investigation showed,
as a matter of fact, that with trains
going at the rate of 40 miles an hour,
there Is an inward pressure Of the air
of from four to six pounds per square
foot at distance of 30 inches from the
train. and that still air is reached only
at a distance of many feet.

A process for extracting rubber from
the hule plant has been discovered by
a Mexican living at Sierra Mojado, and
a factory for this purpose has been es-
tabiished at San Luis Potosi. Thls
plant is species of sagebrush' with
small leaves, which grows to a height
of about three feet and is found not
only in Mexico, but also in Texas, Wyo-
ming and Nebraska 1t grows in noun
famous regions, and is said to contain
40 percent of rubber. The plant is first
cut up by machinery and then mixed
with certain chemicals in steam jack
eted tank. The product is then sub
mitted to hydraulic pressure and run
into a setting tank, where the chemi-
calls and other waste substances are
drawn off from the heavier gum, which
settles at the bottom Of the tank. The
accounts furnished do not mention the
quality of the rubber produced, but
they state that while the cost of pro-
Guction is slight the high cost of trans
porting the material is a serious diff
