Editor Journal: Much unfavorable
comment has been aroused over the re.
moval Of one of the employees at a GER
tain state institution. We are glad b
believe, however, that the action was
justified At least we hope that such
was the case, and that the rumor now
in circulation to the effect that for
personal reasons the aforesaid official
may have been over Jealous in the dis
charge of his duty, may prove to be I'M
founded.
We are of the opinion that the "gen-

the t~ime-honored adage that CANS fair

with tropical labor, the government au.
thorities in employing men, raised
wages nearly 600 per cent, or TO 81
American a day in many cases, and, I
may add, they raised the labor cost Of
works a nearly equal amount. The Fill
ipino, like other tropical laborcrs, does
not increase his output to correspond
to higher wages, neither does he raise
his standard Of living and personal ex-
penditure with increased pay, but he
works fewer days and spends more time
in idleness. SO IL you multiply wages
by five or six you divide your supply
Of labor by almost the anne figure. You
cannot suddenly make a new and arti.
aeial wage standard or lift up the
standard Of living by main force in a
country like this. Such changes must
extend over a long period-over genera
tions. so we are able to get what
men we want TO work for US for n wage
equaliDg 10 or 20 cents In American
money at a time when some government
workingmen are receiving FIVE times
that amount. And our men are prob
ably better contented than the others.
There has been an increase Of about 80
per cent in the rate Of wages paid by
the railway for formation work, such
as grading, to correspond with the
higher cost Of living on account OF the

harvestS. We pay our construction
gangs by the amount. Of work done

THE MODERN NEWSPAPER.

In one respect the modern news
paper resembles the modern depart
ment store--each contains something
for all kinds Of customers.
The New York Sun has been inves'
tigating and comes to the conclusion
that more persons turn first to the
stock quotations than to any other
part Of the paper. which may be true
as to New York newspapers.
The sporting page appeals to a large
constituency--much larger than the
novice In newspaper making would
imagine.
Dealers In grain and live stock
and farmers turn naturally to the
markets.
Women care mostly for society,
personals. housekeeping and fashion
notes.
Lawyers look specially for news
from the courts.
Real estate dealers watch the real
estate transfers and the for sale and
for rent advertisements.
Some readers follow foreign news
closely. Others care only for local
happenings.
An increasing number OF men and
women read the editorials, especially
Of those papers that give less atten.
ton to politics and more to matters Of
human interest.
The tendency to departments In the
daily newspapers Is the result Of an
evolution.
Because Of It fewer daily newspapers
are being established. The large ex.
pense Of providing special editors for
