A PROFIT-SHARINO STREET RAILWAY

The adoption Of a practical system of
profit sharing by the street railway
company OF Vancouver is an experiment
that will be Of interest to all who watch

TEN. The Independent, weekly
published in the interests Of organized
labor in Vancouver, 3. C., gives report
Of an address by Manager Buntzen OF
the street railway company TO mass
meeting OF workmen, which was also
addressed by President Mahon of the
the Street Railway Mems Union Of
America. The meeting shows the har-
monious relationship existing between
the street railway company and its en-
ployes- The company mas voluntarily
decided that the regular employees shall

third Of che amount available for divi-

BANKRUPTS IN LIVERY

At one time in England and Scot
land bankrupts were compelled to
wear a distinctive dress, says an ex-
change This was a result Of enact
ments passed at various times in
Scotland from the year 1906 to 1855
The Edinburgh court of sessions
specified the dress to be Of parti-
color, one-half yellow, and the
other brown, something after the
style of the dress now worn in Eng
Iish prisons by the worst class CT
prisoners. those who have attempted
to escape or been guilty of muir
derous assaults on officers. The en-
aetnent also provided that the
bankrupt should be exhibited pub
licIy in the market PLACE of his
town for q period of two hours and
then sent away condemned to wear
the dress until such time as he had
paid his debts or some one else baa
done it for him
Although this was q period OF laws
which can only be described as fe-
rocious. this law was such an out
rage On public sentiment that in
1888 it was SO far repealed that the
wearing Of the dress was only com
puIsory in cases in which fraud had
been proved, or, curiousIy enough. II
the bankrupt had been convicted OF
smuggling. The same practice vas

England down to the year 1886 The
idea was, Of course. to warn per

that the bankrupt was not able to
pay. but popular sentiment soon
recognized that it was wholly unfair

The Prosperity om''--Wll 1t Break?
From a British Point of View.
By PULBRooK Financial Writer on London Daily

London bankers have been watching
for months the game that is being
played in New York with sterling ex-
change.
Trade between nations. in Is princf-
pies. is like that of individuals. One
nation buys goods from another. and
necessarily has to pay for them. Pay
ment is, in the main. made by the pur-
chaser selling other goods. If the ag-
gregate value of thess other goods does
not amount to that OF those bought. the
difference is made up by the payment Of
money. This in the case of nations
means the transfer of gold from one
country TO another.
Facts are stubborn things, and If the
United States is doing as well as re-
ported it is very strange that its gold
reserves should not increase. Every
tradesman knows that the result Of good
business is an increase in his banker
balance. and gold represents the bank
ing balance Of a n8tion-that is, the
cash with which it pays its debts.
Combines may be all very well in
their way. but they do not take place
without cause. If a man is doing well
he is usually content 10 let well alone.
Here and there an erratic genius may
fancy he can improve his position by
combination, but when We find every
business efecting OF seeking 10 effect a
combination there must be something
radically wrong, We are and have been
dependent on the United States for food
for years, and food must be paid for
either in meal or malt, namely, either
with gold or commodities. If We have
not paid for our food We are Indebted
10 the United States. II we have paid in
gold, then the banking balance of that
country-its gold-wouid mount up. But
it's own journals tell US the contrary
They say the loans made TO New York
bankers at foreign centers have been
variously estimated at from $500 900. 900
to $500, 900 ,0O0- At the same time we
read that gold shipments to Europe have
been made. and that sterling bills were
drawn on London and will be sent over
here to be financed"
Does not this show that the United
States is overtrading? What Is the diff
ference in principle between these bills
and the ordinary accommodation bills
Of a tradesman who, finding his bank
balance low, gets friend to accept a
bill?
Combinations are the result of indi-
vidual weakness. not strength. II we.
found gold flowing into the Golfers of the
States then we might put It down to the
of their vitality But the
outflow OF its gold and the attempt made
to prevent it show the comtry's inter
nal weakness. The United States has
been built up by a mass of humanity
imported from other lands, all striving
after the almighty dollar. Money has

THE VITALITY OF EVIL

! According to the Indianapolis News, "
I there are two lessons that We ought to
learn from the study Of history-one is.
never to despair of curing evils because
/ they have always existed. and the other
[ is, never TO seek TO Justify them because
/ they have always existed For instance.
a Roman philosopher OF the first cen
/ fury declared that money alone sets
ali the world in motion" Here We have
the very charge that is brought against
the civilization Of our own time. And
thinking how old the trouble is, we are
likely 10 conclude that there is no use
in attempting reform which all other
men have failed to bring to pass. while
others viii say that an evil that is so
old cannot be, very deadly in its effect,
and that perhaps it is not an evil after
all. Neither conclusion can be admit
ted To the apologists for the existing
condition on the ground that 1t has al
ways existed. I Is enough to say that
there have always been traitors. muir
dereTs, and thieves Ia the world. and vet
We do not think that the traitors. and
murderers, aLd thieves OF our own day
are estimabIe people While to those
who despair Of curing an evil which is
so deep-seated it may be remarked that
much has been done in the way of re-
form. and that no statute of limitations
can run-except in the strictly legal
sense-against crime and vice. The
right conclusion is that the work OF the
prophet and reformer is never done,
that the campaign against wrong is
continuous. and that the world gets
ahead only because there are men in It
who refuse to bow before evil prece-
dents, or in any way to recognize their
validity. It is true now, as it was two
thousand years ago, that money alone
sets all the world in motion" We think
and dream OF money. and sacrifice
health, friends, and character to get it
We pretend to believe that everything
can be done with money, and to think

NEW POLICY REGARDING PENSIONS

The Republican leaders IN New
York propose, 1t Is said, to have
some pronouncement made by the ap-
preaching State convention on the
subject of a change in the national
pension policy They are reported to
have come to the conclusion that the
time has arrived to attempt some re-
trenehment = the pension budget.
They hold that as the Republican
partyis III the man responsible for the
hberality that has been shown to the
veterans of the civil war, their sur
vivors and dependents, It becomes its
duty 10 take steps tc prevent the
carrying Of this Tberality to i'm
proper limits. So far as the ideas
Of these leaders have reached the pub
he they seem to indicate a purpose to
enact legislation WHICH VIII render It
more dlIhcuIt to enlarge the pension
roll, and also to reduce the ratings
wherever possible.
1t may be assumed that the origin
ators Of this new departure do not
contemplate any retroactive IkgisIa-
ton. Those now on the rolls viii,

for those who may hereafter make
efforts to become pensioners the road
to the goal IS to be made more mar
row and more difficult. Especial care
Is to he taken, 50 it Is said, to re
strict the limits within which more
or less near relatives Of the soldier
may be admitted as pensioners.
Whether or not this proposed
change IN the pension policy Is likely
