According to report made by
the bureau of the labor department
of commerce end labor, Washing
ton, d O., the cost of living in
America has increased more rapid
ly than the increase of wages.
Shorter hours and slightly in,
creased wages in 1904 did not Offset
the large increase in the price of
foodetuffs. such Irish potatoes,
-four and lard. The total number
employed last year was slightly be
low that of 1908. and despite tie in
crease in wages, the total weekly
earnings was also lower.
1t is estimated that the average
annual cost of food per family in
the United States in 1904 wai
$s47 10. In 1898 it was 17.6 pei

tinated as representing 42.54 pei

MIR. Laird's Better Way.

It is very much to Mr.. Laird s credit
that when he gave 100000 to Carleton
college yesterday he did not tie it up
with some conditions about someone
else giving two or three times as much.
It is the custom Of some philanthroplsts
to couple their donations to educational
OF philanthropic purposes with condi-
tions that their gifts must be matched
by contributions of as much or twice
result is that the management of the
institution benefited must start on a
strenuous campaign soliciting gifts from
other people who, tho contributing in
small amounts, are perhaps making a
greater sacrifice than the original donor.
It is he, however, who finally gets the
credit, while the people who have sub
jected their financial resources to a
severe strain to help secure the one big
donation, are never heard of.
This plan of giving may produce larg-
er returns for the benefit of the insti-
buttons in the long run, but it is also
calculated to bestow upon the men who
pose as the chief benefactors more
glory and honor than they are really en-
titled to. Mr.. Laird does not take the
attitude of trying to force the other
people to be generous, but simply puts
his hand in his own pocket and draws
out liberal sum with specific declara-
tions as to what is to be done with it,
which is much the more admirable way
Of bestowing gifts of this kind.

The Passing; of2the Bucket Shop.

Within fortnight two big eastern
bucket shops have been closed, and
now another, operating more thru the
central states, is reported in trouble.
New York. advices are that there is a
favorable prospect Of the elimination
Of the evil in that city before long.
Encouraged by the recent supreme court
decision giving the exchanges property
rights in the quotations originating
with them, these commercial bodies
have renewed their active hostility to-
wards the shops, and not without good
effect. The New York Stock exchange
and the New York Cotton exchange are
working together. ... ..-. =
In Minneapolis the bucket-shop evil
has ceased to be SO live a question since
the collapse Of the big concern that
had become SO notorious. While it can
not be said that the city is entirely free
from places Of the bucket-shop stamp,
the situation is wonderfully improved,
nor does it appear likely that any insti-
tuition Of the kind lately defunct will
again grow into power as that did.

thus far the exports have more than OH
set the imports and are increasing in a
greater proportion.
In connection with the growth Of the
automobile as an article of use for the
less wealthy classes, the French govern
ment has begun the gathering of Stats

to the result.
Our export of automobiles is mainly
to the United Kingdom and Canada.
John Bull takes most of the American
machines that go out Of the country,
they being cheaper and simpler in con

therefore better adapted to the needs of

Roosevelt as a Radical.

Senator Depew is quoted in the
Rochester Evening Herald as saying:
eff Bryan had said and done the things
that Roosevelt has done and said in the
last three years we should have had the
greatest panic the world has ever
known,' which reminds one Of what
Bishop Potter said about Depew, that he
was remarkable for the eloquence of his
humor and the logic Of his anecdotes.
What has. the president said or done
in the last three years which would give
color to such an utterance? When he
came into office he announced that he
would carry out the policy of his prede
cessor. He retained Mr.. McKinley's
cabinet and he kept that pledge. Had
Mr. Mckinley been advocating any
thing which would produce panic if
advocated by Mr.. Bryan7 The only
thing we can remember is that in his
Buffalo speech he took stand for re-
ciprocity. Perhaps that was revolu-
tionary. 50. -.',-.... ..
Since he became president in his OWE
right Mr.. Roosevelt has advocated the
regulation of railroad rates, and it is
no doubt here that MI. Depew finds
those evidences Of radicalism, which
would have been dangerous in Bryan,
but which appear to have been innocu-
Gus in Roosevelt. What lesson may be
drawn from the fact that the president
has demanded things in safety to the
country, which would have been produc:
tive Of panic if demanded by Mr.
Bryan9 Is it not that the people and
the corporations Recognize in the presi
dent man whoris not a radical: but g
conservative; with a conscience? is il
not true that the corporations know
that the president is right, and that they
are tryingsto stand of4his program unit
the country. forgets the issue? In this
stand are they not shortsighted? Are
they not acting upon the assumption
that these ideas originated with tn,
president, and will pass with him from
the White House? That this is mis-
taken idea is SO apparent that it is mar
tvelous that the. wise men of the corpo
grations should entertain it.

STRENGTH IN UNION
Photograph Companies Combine to Do

Thomas A. Edison and the .phono-
graph companies with which he is asso-
which the Minnesota .Phonograph COM
pany of Minneapolis, and other state
rights companies elsewhere, are: about
to bring The various companies will
combine forces.
1t is claimed that twelve years ago,
the original Edison company sold state
rights at high prices. AS soon as
every state had been sold out, 1T is al
legged that the company went into the
hands of a receiver, sreorganized and
gave the state right purchasers "the
double Cross Since then other reor-
CARNATIONS have been effected.
The original purchasers brought suits
to recover. The present concerted &C
ton is based on recent decree of the
United States circuit court for the
southern district of New York. which
handed down decision in similar case
in favor of the New York City Phono-
graph company.

,VORGE GOOD AND 9TH DIVORCE
TBAD.-What he would doubtless term a
common-sense view Of the divorce prob
lem IS what Robert Grant sets forth in
ne Undercurrent. one Of the much and
deservedly discussed books Of the past
year. The author draws three pictures
OF unsuccessful matrimonial ventures.
Two are mere sketches, altho sufficient
70 make a strong impression, and the
other is drawn in detail Added to these
there is the tale of a wooing which leads
up to the point at which the happy
ever afterward begins.
The detailed picture of disastrous mat
rlmony involves the same woman as the
Woolng. In youth, with no one to guide
her, she married man who turned out
to be a brute and thief, and finally de-
serted her. Three years afterwards came
a man OF fine character and high ideals,
who sought to win her hand. The church
to which she belonged said she might
not marry him, because it would be an
indicate and impure thing, despite the
tact that the strictest marriage laws
could not withhold decree of divorce
under the circumstances. The other two
cases are typical society scandals, OF
the kind which bring a reproach upon
society and manhood and womanhood
BY setting these three cases in juxta-
position, the author seeks to show that
the church is wrong in it's position to-
ward such women as the one referred
to in the first case ..... -
The case is presented with all the, acu-
men OF an argument2by. a trained lawyer
