Sixth District Editorials

The New Castle Democrat says:
Nearly one hundred new houses are
now under construction in New Cas-
tie. Most of these are to be occupied
by the owners and more attention is
given to appearance than if they were
for rental purposes. New Castle gain
ed more than $4,000 in taxable prop
Crty last year
Yet the Democrat is one of the pa
pers foremost in demanding that the
conditions be changed that make this
marvellous growth and prosperity pos
sible And by the way it was a New
Castle man the Hon. Charles S.
Hernly, who said a few weeks ago
that lumber prices were SO high that
Il poor man could not build home.
According to the above statement
homes and not rental property are be
ing erected in the Rose City. Mr..
Chambers, of the Democrat, and MI
Hernly, both of whom are CiamOring
against the Republican administration
and its policies should quietly get to-
gether and frame new interview for
Charley, so that his next public ut
terance will not be SO at variance with
conditions as they actually exist in
his own town.-COnnersville News.

Since the line was built the COM

SHORTAGE OF SMALL COINS.

Secretary Shaw and Treasurer
Treat, who are naturally interested in
the existing shortage of silver and
silver coins, may get bit of free edu
cation from the rather interesting ray
of light shed on the possible cause of
the present need of these articles, es-
pecially the latter, of which there is
a pressing scarcity, from the remarks
Of an official recently returned from
China, who, through experience, has
become versed in the ways Of the
slant-eyed Mongolians. 1t seems &C
cording to this officials statement,
that the Chinaman is an expert in eX-
tracing the insides of all the silver
coins which he can get, filing up the
vacancy thus caused with a base met
al, and after putting the coin into cir
culation again, using the silver extra
cted for his own personal benefit.
Naturally, the United States affords a
fine field for obtaining silver money,
and although figures cannot, from the
nature of things, be obtained, it is
probable that many of the countrys
smaller pieces are Withdrawn from
circulation here by Cinnamon. Their
method of obtaining the silver from
the inside of the coin is delicate and
interesting The rim, or milled edge,
is neatly cut off without being mutila
ted. Likewise, the two faces of the
coin are thus removed. The chunk
of silver from the center thus freed
is distracted, a cheap filling inserted
the coin put together again and sent
on its way with rejoicing on the part
Of the OPERATOR if not of Uncle Sam,
who is beginning to be somewhat I'M
easy at his shortage OF small change.

THE PASSING OF THE BEARD.

This is the age of the clean shaver
man. The beard which some mem,
bers of the medical profession de-
clare an "unsanitary appendage" to
mans face, and therefore a menace
to public and wearer alike, must go
according to the opinions of some of
those persons with aesthetic tastes
Walter Beverly Crane, of New York,
however, looks upon the decline of
the beard from an altogether differ,
ent point of view. The badge of
rugged manhood" is what he calls
the New York Times he says:
We are a clean-shaven people. The
beard, once symbol of patriarchal
majesty, next of general manliness,
then a devotion to speculative pur-
suits, has risen and fallen as empires
have risen and fallen.
To-day our great mon, as embodied
in the late Russell Sage and the hail,
fellow-wellmet personality of John d.
Rockefeller, are beardless. OF the
importance of the beard in primeval
periods no doubt can exist, and en-
viable is the vision of fathers of the
world with their hoary hair. The
dignity so preserved was, no doubt,
part of that general dignity of age,
which is to be revCronced.
Thou shalt rise up before the
hoary head and honor the face of
the old man." Ueviticus Xix, So
The natural feeling of early periods
seems to be in favor of it an object
of dignity, and the imagination does
not tolerate the thought of patriarch
or prophet with razor in his hand.
Thus, with the classics, the gods were
bearded. So with early England.
To-day a spark of humor is uncon-
sciously struck out of the finty CAPT
talist. Not long ago certain firm

AS certain dresses do not become

to display their wonted effect. be
worn by those of noble stature. SO the
beard, identified as it is with stern,
ness, dignity and strength, is only
the becoming complement of true
manliness. If l am not mistaken
therefore, the cultivation of the
beard is perilous experiment for all
degenerate sons of Adam, and may
produce in the wearers the most lud
crous incongruity.

Publishers PressJ


Washington, Aug. 18.-Just where
the calamity howlers can find any
thing to howl about in present condi-
tions, it is hard to say. Income, ex-
ports, imports, crops and manufacture.
ers are all at a high tide of prosperi-
ty such as this country has never
witnessed before.
On top of all this comes the report
of the Department of Commerce and
Labor showing that during the year
just ended pay was higher and there
were more plentiful jobs than ever
before, to say nothing of no increase
of hours. Corporations may not be ex-
tremely popular at present. but the
fact remains that to them Is due I'm a
large part the condition which ena-
bled more men to draw higher wages
than in any preceding year of tha
country's history.
Statistics Are Given.
To put the statement into figures,
wages were 1.6 per cent higher than
| in 1904, and the number of employees
6.3 per cent greater.
In other words, there were $50
people to receive higher wages in
1905 in place of the 100 who received
lower wages in 1904. The cost of food
increased in 1905, it is true but no.
where near the same amount as did
wages, for its increased cost was only
| six tenths of / per cent, thus leaving
the workingman a clear advance of
! per cent. That is, an hours wages
| in 1905 had l per cent mora purchas-
ing power In 1905 than in 1904, and
6.3 per cent more people had :chance
to do the purchasing. If the figures
be carried back further, the steady
! increase Is more readily seen. for
| the average wages per hour in 1875
were 1919 per cent higher than dur
| ing the ten-year period from 1890 to
| 1900, while the cost of food advanc-
ed only II per cent in the same time.
| leaving 80 per cent gain in favor of
wages. These figures are complied
| only in industries paying over s10,-
! 100000 a year in wages-that is. as
| a general thing, large corporations
| but they show the general degree Of
| p4gosperity. The only workers who re
not rejoicing are the employees OF the
! largest corporation of all those Of
municipal corporations, for 1t is a fact
/ sad but true, as witnessed by the ex-
! perience Of many government en-
! ployes here, that the wages paid by
| any form of government, federal or
| municipal, remain practically station
! airy The only wage earners included
/ in the report, indeed. who have not
