Labor Deserves More Than a Living
Wage.

Carroll ID. Wright is satisfied that
much of the difficulties attending the
industries of Great Britain at the
present moment arise in the methods
of restrictions. This is illustrated.
from an economic point of view. by
some ethics which are thus stated:
The old demand of the working
man, as you all know, was for living
wage; a wage that should keep body
and soul together. This was his con-
test for years. 1t is no longer his
contest. He is no longer fighting for
a living wage, or what the older econ
omist called the iron law of wages
That is past and gone forever, and
the wOrllingman in our country or in
yours who is content with a wage
which is measured by the iron law of
wages is not a good citizen. We want
something beyond that. The demand
of labor is today for a higher stand
ard of living, and that means some
thing of margin beyond a mere liv-
ing wage. 1t means something which
will enable him to gain in the psyche
logical potentialities; something that
will help him to educate his family:
something that will enable him to
participate in art, education and mu-
sic and all the good things that help
to make up culture everywhere. And

The Shin Grab Again.

1t is evidently the intention of the
GrosvenOrs, Fryes and Hannas of con-
gress to spirit through this congress
that ship subsidy bill which has been
branded by all just critics as worse
than perfidious. Congress will COM
nit crime if it passes the ship sub
sidy bill. The voice of the people
from one end of the nation to the
other has been raised against the pas
sage of that bill; but there seems to
be an obligation the republican party
owes to the shipping trust magnates
and this obligation must be paid off in
colossal subsidies from the national
treasury. 1t will be making n Christ
mas grabbing, as it were, for the ship
building trust magnates of the treas
ury of the United States Pleasant
situation, surely.
The whole thing has been branded
as dishonest, monstrous and unrea-
sOnable, and the republican party will
be made to regret its action if this
ship subsidy bill is passed. Grosvenor,
chairman of the house committee on
proving delightful bait for the mag
mates WIZ ar ShulhIhS iDoul waiting
to make the grab.
The republican press has confessed
that there is no end of wrong lurking
in that ship subsidy bill; yet, are they
going to stand twirling their thumbs
and let the bill be passed? The
chances just now are 10 to l that it
will be. and if it is. it will be the per-
petration of one of the most dishon-
est acts in the history of the congress
OF this republic.

The following inscription has been
placed above the grave of the late
editor of the New York Evening Post
at Hazelbeach, England: Edwin baw-
renee GOdkin, Publicist, Economist,
MOralist; born at Moyne, Wicklow,
1881; died at Greenway, Devon, 1902.
For 40 years a citizen of the United
States. Gifted with a penetrating in
tellect and singular powers of express
sion; constant in friendship, tireless
in energy, dauntless in courage; a
steadfast champion of good causes
and high ideals, he became a foremost
part in all efforts to make govern
ment just, pure and efficient. and
wrought increasingly to strengthen
the ties between the nation whence
he sprang and that to which his serv-
ices were given through long and
laborious life. Sapere aude.'

The Chicago Tribune has collected
kilograms from so Wisconsin republi-
can editors all of whom are opposed
to the ship subsidy bill. The whole
west is opposed to it and Senator
Hanna is going to take up much of
the short session pushing it. This.
the Bloomington Bulletin says, will
give all hands nuts to sharpen their
teeth on and yet will not disturb
the tariff or the trusts in the slight
est particular. Senator Hanna is wise
papa when he takes pains to keep the
boys amused so that they will not
get into mischief as if left to their
own devices.

General De Vets Book.

In Gen. Christian DeWet's book en-
titled Three Years War" he says:
Had not so many of our burghers
proved false to their own colorS Eng
land. as the great Bismarck foretold,
would have found her grave in South
Africa
In regard TO his own forces DeWet
writes:
1T was far easier to fight against
the great English army than against
treachery among our own people, and
an iron will was required to fight
against both. Once, if only our or
ders had been carried out a little
more strictly, and if only the most ell
ementary rules of strategy had been
observed in our efforts to break the
British lines of communication. Lord
Roberts and his thousands of troops
would have found themselves shut up
in Pretoria, where they would have
persisted of hunger. 1t was not the
skill of their commander-in-chie that
saved them

Go to the Bottom oft.

So far as the public interest in the
coal strike is concerned. il is certain
ly better that the arbitration com
mittee should finish its work. The
prospect of a settlement out of court
was welcomed by everybody, because
everybody is tired of the public agi-
tation and disturbance of business
caused by the strike. But this can he
endured, if the arbitration shall only
bring about a permanent settlement
of the questions involved. 1t is pref
~ well understood that the public
pays the whole cost of all these
things. 1t has paid for the Interrupt
ton of coal mining by the strike. 1t
will pay for all increase of wages by
the operators. If there is no real
ground for increase, the public might
as well save its money. If the rail
roads have n combination in restraint
of trade by which they get an unreal
sonable return in money they have
invested in the mines, the public pays
for that
Surely it is to the public interest
that all the facts should be brought
out.

Reports from Sweden bring the sad
news that a great part of Norrland.
the nOrthernmost province in Sweden,
is suffering from dearth and famine

government and also the people as Il

lieVe the most immediate wants. In
this country, too, no small contribu-
tions have been and are being collect
ed and sent over to relieve the want
of the suffering poor in Norrland.
The students of Augustana college
