WHAT A MAN IS WORTH.

DR.. Erastus E. Holt, of Portlan5,
Me-, has taken the trouble to figure out
the economic value of man at differ
ent ages. He finds that boy of 10
has an economic value of $2,6O1. At %
years the value of laboring man is
$5,4SS, while at 20 it is only $171S. AZ
ter that the citizen who continues to
breathe owes the community money for
every breath he draws
DR.. Holt agrees with Osler in put
ting the maximum value upon the pro-
fessional man at 40 years. Then he
represents a value of $29,344
AS a general basis of scientific gen.
eralization, these figures no doubt have
their usefulness, but it is the excep-
tons that the world looks at. 1t sees
Mark Twain, John Burroughs and
President Eliot of Harvard, and it re-
fuses to take in the fact that most
of the men of their age have become
charge on the community.
Besides, the value of life cannot be
measured accurately in dollars and
cents. The grandpa in the chimney
corner may be worth more as an in
spiration to the grandchild at his feet
than he ever was in his own career.
The figures take no account of the
moral values, which are the real VAL
ues after all. AS a generalization upon
how much a man may be expected to
earn in a lifetime, Dr. Hollis figures
may have some value. But they are
wrong from the over-emphasis which
they place on the non-essentials Of
life

NEW ZEALAND'S DIGGER PREMIER

The land without strikes" has re-
Gently lost through death the man who
more than any other gave the trend
to New Zealand which has made it the
Utopia of socialist dreamers. Richard
]. Seldom was a man who rose from
the position of rough and ready bar
tender in the Ballarat diggings to the
commanding position of premier of New
Zealand. AS such he Travelled to the
England he had abandoned when a
youth camped in the collieries of Lam
cashire and presented in person to
Queen Victoria the loyalty of New Zea
land on the occasion of her diamond
jubilee.
Mr.. Seldom got into the New Zealand
parliament in the early sos. In 1891
he was made minister of mines and
three years later, on the death of Mr..
Balance, succeeded him as premier.
He had been studying. He found a
commonwealth which was growing too
fast for the ordinary course of evolu-
ton to settle it's problems. There had
to be a paper plan laid down and al
hered to. He founded his policy on
opposition to landlordism. The laws
were made so as to encourage the &C.
quirement of small land holdings by
men who would till them independent
| ly 1t was made compulsory uror the
government to acquire ground in large
tracts for the purpose of reselling it
in small parcels to the people. The
landlordism of public services was pre-
vented by taking over the public SER
vices by the state itself. Property tax
| laws were repealed and revenue was
| founded upon a charge against Unim-
proved lands. This was an application
| in part of Henry Georges single tax. 1t
| was aimed to prevent, as far as possi-
| BILE, the holding Of large areas for spec
ulative purposes. The industrial CON
| ciliaton and arbitration" act made the
government the arbiter between capital
and labor and has freed the country
from labor disputes, though largely, it
must be said, by conceding to organi-
cation of labor the preponderan, voice
in all affairs.
| In all of these radical measures to
hurry completed civilization, Mr.
| Seldom was a conspicuous figure. The
aristocratic element, particularly of TIE
| landlord class, ridiculed him, but he
| survived their ridicule and lived to see
their advantages in the community
converted to the benefit of the COM
| munity itself.

AN UNINTENTIONAL ERROR.

1t is only fair to say that the States
man unintentionally misinterpreted the
meaning of the bids on bitulithic paw
ing at Boise as published in a paper
of that city. We overlooked the fact
that the bid of $3.50 square foot
made by the Warren Construction
company did not include the founda-
ton, for which a separate bid of $3.50
cubic yard was made The bids Of
$2,13 and $2.17 a square foot made by
the Warren company on Walla Walla
contracts included the foundation.
Counting the cost of the foundation.
the price asked by the Warren COM
pany at Boise varies but little from
what it has been paid in Walla Walla.
At Portland last Friday night at a
meeting of Hawthorne avenue property
owners the Warren company submitted
bid of 1897 a running foot for gitu-
lthlc pavement, including a standard
foundation. The avenue is 20 feet wide,
but the width of the sidewalks and
curbing is not stated. 1t was stated
by an agent of the Warren company
that this was the lowest price they
could offer, and it is no doubt consid-
prices. but just how much cannot be
told until the width of the pavement
on Howthorne avenue is known. On

A CASE FOR CONGRESS.

| Apparently not enough serious legis-
1ative attention has been given to the
| recent incident of a young woman
breaking her arm while attempting tc
button a waist up the back, but we
must take into consideration that the
| advisers of congress have been excep-
tionally busy. They have had the rail-
road system of the entire country, the
packers and the insurance magnates on
| their hands, consequently the incident
above noted has fallen into the exclu-
sive clutch of the humorsts who have
almost sprained a brain valve in de-
scribing it. None of them seem to have
taken thought of the girl to whom
| it must have been a painful expert
ence
Out of just such incidents as this do
we occasionally get a glimpse of the
disadvantages under which the lovely
sex labors in this vale of muckrakers.
Imagine a man breaking his forearm
buttoning his coat up the back Why,
even old Grimes coat, which appears
to have been the most notable male
garment ever worn, was distinctly but
toned down before" If an ATTEMPT
had been made to compel him to fasten
it the other way we firmly believe
old Grimes would have worn it back
side foremost Women are not inven-
tive in this way. They wear their
clothes, or try to wear them, in the
impossible fashion they are made.
Herein lies the duty of congress- 1t
should provide by law that all those
many and divers garments known and
called peek-a-b boo, linen and other
waists, shall be exclusively buttoned
fastened, pinned, nailed, sewed, glued
or otherwise fastened down the front.
and all acts and parts of acts thereto
fore passed permitting any other pro-
cedure are hereby repealed.
This act shall take effect and be in
force from and after it's passage.
The president shall appoint a COM
mission of six million husbands to hear
and pass upon complaints and their
orders shall go into effect and remain
in effect unless and until reversed by
a court of competent jurisdiction.
The question of court review might
be raised in connection with tbs leg
islation, but there will be a general
concensus of opinion that when
woman wearing a peek boo, porous
plaster, translucent or fishnet waist is
brought into court the review shall be
strictly limited.
