SOME BREEZY EPIGRAMs.

The dialogue in "Uther Peoples
Money" is witty and unusually clever,
it being replete with snch epigrams as
Blessed is the man who gets wisdom
from another mans experience"
whether a man marries or not, he
will dread il" "Only fools ask, wise
men take;' "He who has not wealth
by patrimony must get it by matri'
mony :" There's nothing so good as
money, and no money so good as other
people's;" "A matrimonial alliance
with the love all ON one side means
trouble on both sides I" "when money
talks the average man doesn't care
whether it knows what it is talking

BETTER MALSERY1CE
More Mails Needed Over the N.
C. 4 st. L., Railroad.
Only One Mail q Day-Increase Has
Been Large and Demand Is
Great.
PEOPLE SHOULD BE INTERESTED

Better mail facilities are needed by
the merchants and other citizens OF
Psducah down the NJ, O. and Sc. L.
road. At present there is only one
mail a day each way. Some time ago
the postoffice department was asked
for additional mail service, but moth
ing has been heard from the request.
Msil agents all over the country, on
every road, report that the bulk OF
business has increased tc q remarkable
extent lately doubtless because OF the
general prosperity everywhere, The
increase in the mails is as large, they
declare, in proportion, as the increase
in railway traffic. This is true on the
N, q. and st. L. as elsewhere.
The present manner OF carrying the
mails down the N. @. and St. L. makes
IL alike hard on the mail clerks and
the citizen, especially since the mails
became so heavy and TO a considerable
extent handicaps business.
1t is suggested that mail be handled
on the accommodation trains every
day which would relieve the situation.
A mail agent said yesterday that he
believed II the Commercial club and
the people of Psducah would take the
meter in hand and urge IL on the de-
partment, there would be no trouble In
getting il. As complaints have been
neither large nor many, the depart
ment has felt no need Of making any
change.
1t has been thought for some time
that there should b. more mails han.
died over the n, O. and st. L., but
lately the increase In the mails has
been so large that the demand for in
creased facilities in service has become
almost imperative.
II is thought that II the people will
take up the mattel. and make some
effort TO secure the needed changes.
their efforts will meet with success.

WAGES SYSTEM WILL PASS
PROETT-SHARING AND COOPER
ALIVE PLAN WILL COME.
A Prediction by L. s. Commissioner
Wright i'm an Address OH the Wage
Question"

Philadelphia. December 13.-"The
stead, L believe. there will become
Il system which will be composed of
prOfit-ShaTing and the cooperation
ideas. The great labor question means
the struggle of humanity for a high
er standard of life. The employer
consider mis- employe, as well rs
he stakeholder. as an investor"
These words were contained in an
address upon The Wage Question"
made today by Carroll d. Wright,
United State Commissioner of Labor,
before the society of ethical culture of
his city.
Continuing. Col. Wright said: Cap
ital charges To the depreci-
alton of property and machinery. Why
should not the depreciation of labor's
machinery-itS hands. it's brains. it's
bOdy-be included in the final cost?
We see in every progressive commu-
atty that the demand of the working
man is no longer for Il wage suitable
to enable him to keep body and soul
together Labor has been taught TO
feel that it Is q social as we'll as an
economic power i'll the community.
and this educating process has gone
on until the demand of labor is for
a reasonable margin beyond thar
fixed by the iron law of wages. The
wages system Will pass away. 1t is,
as has been shown, unsatisfactory in
many Of its applications. 1t depends
too largely for its equities upon the
generosity and observation-disclosures of
employers. That there are many such
who wOuld scOrn to influence the
votes or actions of their employees and
who would be incapable Of taking
petty or great advantage of their
wOrkmen. is happily true. That there
are others. however, who make use
of these opportunities proves the
weakness of the system and argues
for a greater measure of independence
for those who labor.
The system that will take the
place of that under which mere wages
are paid probably will be composed
of prOfit-sharing and cooperation
plans. The work people will then &C
quire the interest of investors, the
more capable will rise to their oppor-
tunities, and he less worthy will find
their level"

RUSSIA REPLIES TO JAPAN.
Negotiations Are Still IncOmplcte, But
Difficulty Will Probably be Peace
fully Settled.

London, December 14.-The terms
of Russia's reply to Japan have been
communicated to the japanese min
lister here. Baron Hayashi, by the
government at Toxic. The minister
subsequently said the negotiations
were still incomplete, but he signi-
fCantly added hat he saw no reason
to change his previously expressed
opinion that a peaceful issue would
result therefrOm.

said to a representative of the Assoc
ciated Press. lis in the form of an
agreement. which, if satisfactory to
Japan. can be Immediately signed. In
that Ven all questions now pending
would receive final settlement. l have
received no indication from my gov
eminent regarding their probable ac-
ton in the matter. All I can say is
that I firmly believe the Russo-Japan-
csc difficulty Will be Practically settled.
Further pour parlers, with the view
to notifications on the part of Japan
may be necessary. but this is a mat
ter which rests entirely with my gov
ernment."
After a careful examination of the
Russian draft of the agreement. the
foreign office here Is inclined to he
belief thai its immediate acceptance
by Japan is unlikely and looks for a
series of RUSsO-JapaneSe pour parlerS
dealing with notifications. 1t says
the pour parlerS may last for several
weeks. The foreign office, however,
regards the draft as a distinct step
toward a pacific settlement.
