equalize matters so far as the moneyed
class is concerned. 1t is different with
the wage-working body. Rents, cloth

life have responded to the upward ten

of things, should not be so, but it Is
And the only apparent reason why it
is, is because in our working social and
industrial code, the guiding principle
is selflshnesg The actual beneficiaries
of material prosperity do not recog.
nize any moral responsibility in the
premises. The fault lies not so much
with individual turpitude as with the
spirit Of the times which fosters this
condition.
The gradual elimination OF the sense
of personal obligation in the matter of
equitable dealing between man and
man in the commercial world, can be
traced to the popular decadence of re.
ligious influence. Religion furnishes
the highesMmotives of human conduct
in all the relations of life. Though
nominally Christian, society is not gov.
erned by the precepts OF Christianity.
Its philosophy is not based on the idea
of tho fatherhood OF God and the
brotherhood of man. In practical af.
fairs the maxim which civilized men
follow, is each one for himself and the
devil take the hindmost. Hence the
prevalence of restitution and the occa.

ton in the midst of abundance and
luxury, must be regarded as a natural
result of the crowding out of Chris,
tianity from our social life by a certain
pagan altruism which ignores the vital
motives of concrete justice and imper,

English Troubles of American Build

have already written of some of the
troubles of our railway builders in Eng
land. The men who are putting up the
different factories have troubles as well.
One was complaining to me yesterday
about the difficulties he had in getting
good work out Of English laborers. Said
he:
II don't like the hours, nor the breaks
in the working day, that We have here,
The English hand begins labor without
his breakfast. He brings his meals with
him. and 1t is the usual thing for him
to work about two hours before he knocks
off for breakfast My men first came at
and dawdled over their work until half
past 8. when they stopped to eat. After
breakfast it took about half an hour to
get into shape to do their best work, and
the result was that the morning was prac-
one evening a few days ago and told them
that they must get their breakfast before
they left home. | said they had better
come a half hour later and bring their
breakfast inside them. There were some
objections, but upon my telling them that
they must do this or stop work, they
stayed.
Another trouble is the holidays" this
man continued; you. only get half a day
on Saturday and as many of the men

Charles D. Poston, pioneer. traveller. poet,

the earthen floor of an adobe-built hut
wherein he had made his home during
