states and should be given the means
TO investigate and report to the con-
gress upon the labor conditions in the
manufacturing and mining regions
throughout the country, both as to
wages. as to hours of labor, as to

Corporations.
When we come to deal with great
corporations the need for the govern
ment to act directly is far greater than
in the case of labor, because great cor
porations can become such only by en-
gaging in interstate commerce, and in
terstate commerce is peculiarly the
field OF the general government. 1t is
an absurdity to expect to eliminate the
abuses in great corporations by state
action. 1t is difficult to be patient with
an argument that such matters should
be left to the states, because more than
one state pursues the policy Of Great
ing on easy terms corporations which
are never operated within that state
at all, but I'm other states whose laws
they ignore. The national government
alone can deal adequately with these
great corporations. To try TO deal
with them in an Incorporate, destruc-
tive or demagogic spirit would in all
probability mean that nothing what
ever would be accomplished, and with
absolute certainty that il anything
were accomplished it would be Of a
harmful nature. The American peo-
pie need to continue to show the very
qualities that they have shown-that is,
moderation, good sense, the earnest
desire to avoid doing any damage and
yet the quiet determination to proceed.

safety limiting the hours of labor for
railroad employees in train service up
on railroads engaged in interstate COM
merce and providing that only trained
and experienced persons be employed
IN positions Of responsibility connected
with the operation of trains.
The safety appliance law, as amend
ed by the act of March 2, 1903, has
proved beneficial to railway employees,
and in order that its provisions may be
properly carried out the force of in
spectors provided for by appropriation
should be largely increased. This serv-
ice has passed the experimental stage

ton by the congress.
UniOniam In Government Omces.
There is no objection to employees Of
the government forming or belonging
TO unions, but the government can nei-
ther discriminate for nor discriminate
against nonunion men who are in its
employment or who seek to be EN-
plOyed under it. Moreover, it is a very
grave improperly for government en-
ployees to band themselves together
for the purpose of extorting improperly
high salaries from the government
Especially is this true Of those within
the classified service The letter car
riers, both municipal and rural, are as
a whole an excellent body Of public
servants. They should be amply paid.
But their payment must be obtained
by arguing their claims fairly and hon
orably before the congress and not by
banding together for the defeat of
those congressman who refuse to give
promises which they cannot in con-
science give. The administration has
taken steps to prevent and punish
abuses Of this nature, but it will be
wise for the congress to supplement
this action by legislation.
Bureau of Labor.
Much can be done by the government
in labor matters merely by giving pub
licity to certain conditions. The bureau
Of labor has done excellent work Of
this kind in many different directions

The Game of Echo.

Echo can be played by any num-
Der of persons, one of whom is
chosen to tell story, and the 9TH
ers take the names of various char
acters or objects that are to be
mentioned in it. When the story
teller mentions the assumed name Of
a player once, that player must re-
peat it twice, and if it is mentioned
twice in succession, it must be re-
peated once. Any player who does
not echo his name, or who repeats
it the wrong number of times, must
pay a forfeit. The object of the
story teller is to make his story so
entertaining that the players will
forget to echo. If the story is to
be about a fight with a wolf, for in
stance, the names assumed by the
players might be hunter, gun, pow
der, bullet, knife, cave, rock, tree,
etc.; or if a shipwreck is the SUI
ject, the names might be ship, cap
tain, mate, mast, sail, tiller, keel,
passenger, wave, wind, etc.

TRIED TO BE IMMORTAL.
But Louis XIV. Fooled Louvois' Efforts
on Each Occasion.

Very few people are aware that
Louis XIV.'s great and vain war
minister, Louvois, under whom the
Hotel DIES Invaides was built, was
anxious to immortalize himself by
having his coat of arms carved side
by side with those of the ''Roi So
leil," but that the king or. learning
of it had them effaced. Fooled in
this, Louvois left secret clause in
his will ordering that his remains be
deposited in the vault of the In
vaides, which order Vas complied
with by the then curate, M. de Maui
roy. Again the king frustrated the
proud mans design by having the
body removed.
AS though he had had a PRESENT.
ment of this posthumous ostracism,
Louvois had taken other measures to
leave an enduring souvenir of him
self in consection with the historical
edifce. He prevailed upon sculp-
tor, who stood too much in awe of
the powerful minister to dare re-
fuse, to carve the crests of five of
the oeil de boeuf mansardes on the
eastern wing, overlooking the Occur
d'Honneur, in the following fash
ion:
On the head of wolf Qoup) rest
ing on his paws and looking down
into the yard, thus making the play
of the words on his name "Loup-
volt" the other four representing
panache of ostrich plumes, the al
tributes of Il grand scigneIr; pow
der barrel il tie act Of exploding,
as a symbol of war; an owl and Il
bat, the two latter the emblems of
vigilance, virtue that was his spe-
cial boast. These souvenirs, carved
in stone, are there today and MAY
interest MANY a visitor. When, after
Louvois' death. tie king heard OF
this petty combination of vanity, he
is said to have uttered, with a shrug
of his shoulders: "Poor. fellow!
That is just like him."

Value of the Quail

The effort in several States to protect
the quail and multiply its numbers is
worth while. Careful investigation has
been made, and it is found that this bird
is one of the most important in the United
States, for the farmer. 1t is high time to
stop the sportsman from finding his fun
at the expense of the work man. A letter
from one Of our most sensible ornithOlo-
gists says: why don't you say more
about the quail when you talk about
birds as farmers friends? In my judg-
ment, there ought to be a combined effort
to bring this bird back into cooperation
with agriculture" notice in an Oklaho-
ma paper thara farmer, fond Of his gun
and in the habit of shooting quail, brought
in three for supper. Noticing the full
ness Of their craws, his curiosity was
awakened to examine the contents. Open
ing one, he counted over four hundred
dead cinch bugs. He adds: Lust cleaned
up the gun, and have not shot bird SINCE
Now, if you will come down to my place
you will see that the birds have found
this out, and they are all working, heart
and claw, to help me out in my problem
with insects. They are absolutely invalu-
able" The quail is, in my judgment, the
best bird in the list.-E. p. Powell.
