WAGES AND PRICES.

TUE statistics Of the government showing that
wages outstrp prices at present are caus-
ing much comment and from this fact hearty con-
gratulations are drawn What is meant by wages
outstrippng prices, is that the average pay OF
the average man now brings him more of this
worlds goods than it did a few years ago That,
OF course. is real progress There have been
years and periods when. prices of commodities
outstripped wages and consequently there would
be hard times.
The latest bulletin Of the government announc-
ing that wages have increased relatively more
than prices, doubtless refers chiefly to the skilled
mechanics and those trades governed by labor
unionism. The unions have been able to hold
up or advance the wage scale.
Wages in a healthful economic condition
should advance relatively more than prices. If
they did not mans labor could not, as the years
go by, secure for him an increasing amount of
goods If he could not be more comfortable
what would all our inventions and improved
methods of manufacture amount to? Surely
an industrial condition should not be permitted
to exist (which would throw all the advantages of
improvement in the arts, the sciences and manu-
factures merely to the wealthy classes and the
capitalists. Wages should continually outrun
prices, and If they do not we are at an economic
standstill Something would be materially
wrong with
IT is not cause for wonderment that wages
advance more than prices but it would be a mat
ter for serious consideration and reflection if
prices Of articles that one needs were to advance
more rapidly than did wages--that is if dollar
did not purchase more. The question after all
wolves merely equitable distribution. Labor

Safeguarding Human Life.

Editor The Evening Journal
The action Of the officials in arresting
those persons who persist in running
their automobiles at a rate Of speed pro-
hibitcd by law is TO be commended
Speeding machines should be stopped. not
that they are a source Of danger to the
occupants, but that they are a menace
TO those who walk or drive.
The automobilst who wilfully breaks
the laws Of the State should be made 90
pay dearly for it, and I advocate tho
abollshing Of fines and the establishment
OF sentences in Jail There are few who
care much for fine OF s. or so, but they
would shrink from serving a sentence of
ten days or a month in the workhouse,
and vet those very persons really do more
harm when they violate the speed law
than the poor creature who steals a few
apples from a farmers orchard.
The time has come when nothing but
drastic measures will make our roads
safe for the pedestrian or driver, aud
since human life. while admittedly cheap,
is dear to all. It is necessary TO throw a

And now the investigators in some cities are
beginning to look upon ice cream with suspicion.
They want to know just how much cream there
is in the article that bears that name and which
is so popular. Ice cream is fabricated as we'll
as other products. and in some of it there is
precious little cream. But we are loath to believe
that there is any poison in it.

some means to prevent the commission of atroc-

UNREST IN RUSSIA.

OHAOS apparently exists in Russia How
~ unsettled conditions in the empire really
are is hard to say. Some Of the uprisings and
rioting are doubtless hctions and fabricated be-
cause they make good reading matter during
dull season That there is much unrest and that
the stability of the empire is in peril, is beyond
question. Riotings and murders and bloodshed
in some part Of the vast nation OF daily occur
renee.
The people, however, have not yet been led up
to the pitch Of open and defiant rebellion and
revolt. So long as the army remains true to the
autocracv there is little fear OF a successful up
rising. The rsvolutionists have been as best
they can, waging propaganda among the sol
diers and sailors but they have not made the pro-
gress that was expected.
The reactionaries and the autocrats now are
high in the counsels of the emperor and that SUI
preniacy is due to the hzzle made by the recent
Duma which the Car dissolved as he would
spank child The autocrats saw to what err
tremities the hotheads of the Duma intended to
go and the first movement of the parliament fail
ed because Of its extreme radicasm.
Had the people been ripe for revolt as was sup
posed in some quarters, the dispensing of the
Duma would have been followed by revolution
airy outbreaks OF moment in different parts OF the
country 1t would seem now that new Duma
not so radical in its demands, will be the outcome
OF the agitation. Unless they are prepared to
fight for it the Russian people will have to travel
slowly along the paths that lead to liberty. and
not try TO bridge long chasm in one jump.
