Why should Earl Russell serve a
three months term in jail if he be per-
mitted to retain the wife with whom his
marriage brought on this punishment?
Can there be any real atonement with
out restitution when the restitution
lies within the power OF the offender?
The combined legal wisdom of ages has

which crimes and misdemeanors may
not be repeated over and over for a
price The law and the jury say Earl
Russell is guilty of bigamy. He is SEN
fenced to three months in prison-not a
high price. He retains the fruits of his
transgression, the unlawful wife. Is
there aught to prevent his taking an
ether wife on the same terms if he
should feel disposed to do so? The

as do Topeka officials with the joint

these the young form the majority. Any
boy or any girl, taken out of poverty
stricken and degrading conditions, and

half to make something of life. Isssuch
a chance to be ignored?
The junior Republic not only deals
with this problem, but it deals with it
from the point of view of the bene-
iciaries. 1t does not take very much
reasoning to persuade any boy that it
pays better TO be decent than not TO he;
the trouble is that in nine cases out of
ten people assiduously teach him that
goodness is hard and wearisome. and the
glittering temptations of vice include all
the pleasures in the world. 1t is worth

Junior Republic the boys. given the prob
lem of governing themselves. soon find

FORMULATING A WAGE SCALE.
United Mine workers' Committee Be
gins Its Sessions.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Jan. A.-The
scale committee of the United Mine Work
ers of America began its deliberations
this morning. President Van Horn. of the
Indiana district, was made chairman and
William Hefti secretary. This committee
has the formulating of a scale which will
be submitted to the convention for rati
feation, after which the miners will pre-
sent it to the operators in joint conven-
tion.
Indiana. which bears the reputation of
being a chief battle ground in political
conflicts. seems destined to also be the
principal factor in the joint convention
of the miners and operators at Columbus,
Ohio. after the mine workers convention
adi0urns.
The trouble centres about the machine
scale. President Van Horn. of the In
diana district says the scale in Illinois
for machine mining is little higher than
in Indiana and the scale in Ohio little
lower. This places Indiana in the centre
of the fight. the Ohio operators. who have
n lower machine mining scale, pushing
the Indiana operators in the competitive
markets, ard the Indiana operators push
ing the Illinois mine owners. Pennsyl-
vania has still lower scale than Ohio. so
that the movement is entirely toward the
northwest, West Virginia. without any or
ganizatiou to speak of. being behind the
whole pressure. As Illinois is the high
est. the fight will be made to bring In
diana up to its standard

against the laws OF society.
Both these schemes are noteworthy in
