Carpine Critics in Bad Taste,

When great corporation, employ
ing thousands of workmen, devlses a
carefully matured plan whereby these
workmen can acquire proprietary in
tereSt in its works and share in it's
profits, it is in mighty bad taste for
carping critics to cast slurs upon the
men who are engaged in a laudable
effort to do something of practical
benefit to wageworkers, even if the
corporation engaged in this under
taking be the United States Steel
Company. The profit-sharing scheme
devised by that corporation may not
prove success, but it certainly is a
step in the right direction, and may
lead to vastly beneficial results. In
common decency criticism should at
least be withheld until the scheme
shall have had a trial.-South Bend
Times.

To Preserve the Eyesight.

1t is an excellent plan to battle the
eyes with the lids wide open. To do
this bright silver coin should betoSsed
into bowl of clear cold water. 1t will
of course sink to the bottom. and
when the face is plunged into the
water the eyes should be firmly fixed
upon the glittering silver bit. Then
let the eyes be kept open and the head
gently moved from side to side. The
men and women who will persist in
this daily bath will soon find that
their eyes are brighter and stronger
and 1T will preserve the sight beyond
what is supposed to be its allotted
time.

A Surprising Statement.

A writer in the Southern Workman
makes the surprising statement, based
on the last census report, than in more
than half of the counties in Virginia
over 10 per cent. of the farmers are
negroes, and that in thirty-nine coun-
ties larger per cent. of the negroes
own their own farms than of white
farmers. 1t is true the farms of the
negroes are generally much smaller
than the plantation" of the whites,
but the fact that SO large a proportion
of the negroes are even small land
owners is greatly to their credit.

WHY MEN WE'RE EvIcrED



with Statement Relative to . Case That
Has Caused Much Sympathy.
Referring to the eviction of certain
men Markle says: "As we had not
been parties to the correspondence un-
der which the anthracite strike COM
mission was appointed and the strike
declared on we were not willing to
permit our men to return to worI. with
out distinct understanding that they
would abide by the award to be made
by the commission. Notice was accord
fngIy posted that those wishing to Sc
cure employment should call at the
Office and should bring with them the
brass checks which they had.
'When this notice was posted we
were informed that some of the men
objected, upon the ground that the
men should be taken back in a body,
and the. rumor was started to the ef-
feet that they would be required to
sign an i1onciad agreement as q condi-
ton OF going to work. Many of the
notices were torn down, and pickets
were stationed In the neighborhood Of
the Office and along the lines of road
to prevent the men from coming to the
Office. where they might have learned
the truth and arranged for q resump-
tion Of work.
Meanwhile l had been informed
that the same men who had been MAX
Ing trouble during the strike were TAX
