made after a full and fair hearing by a
fairly constituted tribunal, would be
the judgment of the law and would
have the sanction of public opinion that
would make it acceptable.
These suggestions are, of course, in
the nature of things, tentative. Moth
ing should be done rashly or that
would be likely to create more strife
than the conditions sought to be pre-
vented, but one thing is certain. Soon
err later society must take action, not
only to maintain peace and order un-
der all circumstances for this is the
first law of society, but equally so to
protect the weaker members against
the aggressions and arbitrary conduct
of the stronger.
He also has given the question Of
prison labor some thought as is shown
by the following discussion:
While the state is entitled to the la
Dor of the prisoners and has right to
utilize that labor in production, it also
owes them, or at least society, a duty
to SO employ their time that those who
are capable of Improvement will be at
forded an opportunity to acquire a
trade and thus become equipped to
lead a self-suppOrting and honorable
life after discharge. Aside from this
any production in state institution in
the field of competitive industry is
more or less of a menace to free labor
and a disturbing factor in the market,
and is therefore opposed, and not with
out cause, both by organized labor and
h,, ho in, no
duction of the same commodities The
situation demands your most careful
attention and proper legislation at this
session of the legislature. In order to
procure reliable information on the
subject for your guidance, as we'll as
to aid the executive, I appointed Prof
w. w. Folwell and Senators George
w. Somerville and Charles Q. Baldwin
a committee to visit the leading penal
institutions in the east and to investi-
gate and report on this important
question. Their report I shall file with
the president of the senate, and I COM
mend it to your attention. The solu-
tion of the situation, it seems to me,
is to be found in providing facilities for
teaching useful trades to those suscep-
tible of training and Improvement.
The manufacturing by machinery has
little value for this purpose. All of
the prisoners time that should be en-
ployed in productive labor can proba-
bly, be employed to the best advantage
in the tWine factory. The time not so
employed should be devoted to indust-
rial training. The same problem of
providing adequate facilities for train
ing and employment confronts the
board at st. Cloud as at Saltwater.

Building Trades Elect Officers.

ST. PAUL, Jan. 1.-THE meeting of
the Building Trades Council at Assem-
bly, hall Monday was of very import
ant nature to all members of the build
ing trades. The scale Of wages and
working rules for the carpenters, stone
masons and mason tenders for the COM
ing season were read, carefully and
thoughtfully considered and approved,
all the demands Of the unions above
mentioned being considered of a con-
serVatiVe nature. Business Agent Har-
rison submitted his emi-monthly re-
port, saying that everything of interest
to the unions represented in the coun-
Gil was being conducted smoothly with
one or two exceptions. The secretary
was instructed to notify the Plumbers
union that the attendance of it's dele
gates at the next meeting was highly
essential, as matters of interest to that
body would be considered at that time.
Nominations being in order, the fol-
lowing were named for official posi-
tions, the election to occur at the next
meeting: For president, J. H. Wilson
and j. B. Morrison; vice president. G.

GRffD AND FOLLY Y
AN ARGUMENT AGAINST THE "SAVE
AND GET RICH'' THEORY.
An Unusual Illustration Employed.
: Is Wealth the Standard of Good
ness and ManhOod:-An Industrial
System Needed That Will Give to
All Honest Workers an Ample In
come to Build Up Their Manhood.

One Of the many curious facts in
modern existence is the seriousness and
and gravity with which our fine SUI
perior types weave theories of their
own on petty materialstic calcula-s
tions. The one the writer has recently
heard runs as follows: LET any of
our workers stop smoking, and even if
he is not much, Of smoker he will
easily save $35 per auunm, or $3.50 in
ten years. Let him do the same with
his drinks even if he is but a moderate
drinker, and his total savings in ten
years would be $500. He will then be-
quite, a capitalist .
Our innocent top chaps never take
cognizance of natural laws when they
deal with human tendencies. If they
did, they would know that the smoker
and drinker can get along with half
the food a man needs if he does not
drink and smoke; hence nothing can
be saved by nonsmokers and nom
drinkers. The later do not only need
twice as much food, but better housing,
and clothing, and by the saving Of SO
per annum in tobacco and drinks,
cSlO, cdCu O1lc WOu1u uc HccuS
at least $500 more in the family sani-s
tary elements of life; hence he would
be poorer than ever under a civiliZa-S
tion like ours, which limits the earn
ings of most family groups to the star.
walton limit of about $500 per annum
when not considerably less and allow
ed to work all the year around.
But suppose for moment that the
natural law above referred to does not.
exist, although we know it does exist
To save $500 after ten years of living a.
mere animal life, hard at work all
the time, while some men are allowed
to save $10,0OO,0O0 in five or ten years
by robbing the working masses under
the mantle of laws Of privilege and
monopoly-what fine social fabric
that means!
Why, then, not direct the lens of our
intelligence toward the simplest proc
esses with which to suppress all In.
justice in the distribution of wealth g
Because that injustice can hardly pro-
ceed from natural or divine laws, al
though that is what some of our EoQd,.
superior people seem to imagine ~

Of wrong human laws. And who coz
cocts those laws hut our college men
and their satellites, the very felloWs
who manage to scoop most Of the
wealth produced by those who live I'd
die in poverty? "a
Then why always devise plans by
which to show and prove that poverty
means lack of manhood or goodness
and so by implication make wealth the
standard Of goodness and manhood?
The abnormal development of the mill
alone makes itself evident that the
social environment is abnormal, wrong,
unjust, immoral, dishonest from foun-
dations to top. How childish, then. to-
predicate that normal men can grow
in the midest of conditions most abnor-
NAL or that those in our vast bottom.

overcome the surroundings that the
powerful and intelligent manufacture
for them and enforce upon them
through all the silent brute force OF
our brutal laws!. Hence the need Of
armies, navies, policemen, judiciary.
jails, the scaffold; hence all outward
repression as the corollary Of laws Of
repression in lieu of laws of freedom,
monopoly, instead of equal rights.
And what about the folloy of presup-
posing that all in human life is asQues-,,
ton of saving and having some capi-
tai? How many have $4,000 or even
$1,000 capital and yet are constantly
in hot water, all because most people
never know what annual income they
will manage to snatch from the wretch
ed network of our miserable Industrial
capital, after all, when most labor cre-T
ated wealth goes back to land in six
or seven years on an average? And.5
beyond a certain point, what feeds
capital or what does capital consist Of
but the power to levy tribute upon the
80 or 80 per cent of the people at work
in fields of production or essential to-
that? ~s-.
All that the race has been able to do
in our country for the last $50 years in,
the business of wealth accumulation Is.
to save and preserve from natural de-
terioration at the rate Of $40 per an
mum per family group. Today we have
but at the rate Of $1,000 per family In
real labor created wealth. The rest
up to $4,000. is but land values. mos
nopoly, water values, implying q large
annual tribute collected by the few
from the wealth producers.
We need an industrial system giving
to all honest workers an ample income.
