Speakers at meeting of the Wom-
ans Trade Union League in Chicago
maintained the other day that the
wages of women are far below the
American standard Of decent living,
and that it is high time to disabuse
employers of the notion that women
workers are willing to receive unequal
pay for equal work. Some put the
minimum Giving wage at $15 and
some at $25 but all agreed that a rate
Of SO or 81 means Charitable assist
ance' in some form or another. Impair
tial and intelligent students Of the
question Of woman in lndustry-like
the two University of Chicago women
who dealt with it in the Journal Of
Political Economy only few months
ago-recognize that women hardly ever
do "the same work" as men. THE de-
mand for the same wage" say the uni
versity investigators, "can be based
only on the claim that there Is the
same work In the face Of the facts
just presented, 1t Is fair to ask, Where
Is the same work to be found under
present cOnditions?" THE facts pre-
sented" in the article indicate that
there Is little direct competition be-
tween men and women workers. The
last census report says that If we look
at the list Of occupations we find
women doing the lighter work, the me-
chanical work, the less skilled" In the
Industries where they work by the side
Of men. American and British labor
reports contain plenty of evidence that
women and children perform the light
er, while men perform the heavier
grades of work in occupations which
employ both sexes. The question of
equal pay for equal work Is by no
means as simple as It looks. With re-
gard to the "living wage" generally,
is 1t true that the women who receive
less than $15 week In large city
must in the end have recourse to char
liable assistance? The girl who lives
at home and is in part supported by
the head Of the family Is not depend
ent on charity. Her wages may not
cover all her expenses, but the family
does not expect that they should. All
can live in comfort where the wages
Of the father are supplemented by those
Of two or more children. Under these
circumstances-and they are the rule
rather than the exception-says the
Chicago RecordHerald, women are GER
talnly willing to work for lower wages
than they would need were they COM
PEELED to support themselves absolutely
and to enjoy none Of the advantages of
family economy and cooperation. In
regard to amusements, 1t is not to be
overlooked that girls seldom pay for
such things, their boy friends and ac-
quaintances being only too anxious to
take them" to the theater, the sum-
mer garden, the skating rink, and 30
on. An Industrial order based on sup,
ply and demand, on competition, auto
matically governs Itself by such facts
| and circumstances.

VICIOUS VIRTUES.
By Henry F. Cope.


"If therefore the light that Is in thee

He who pretends to virtues he does
not possess soon loses those he may
have had. Professional holiness brings
about the death Of ordinary honesty.
The most INSCRIPTIONS men in this
world are those who make the noisiest
parade of their scruples. 1t is never
safe to trust your possessions to those
who advertise their piety.
1t Is better to be honestly, avowedly
bad than to attempt to acquire spiritual
standing by means of padded assets.
There is always the hope that the bad
man may become good; his heart Is
soil in which good seed may germinate.
But the heart of the hypocrlte is crust

Stage Fright.

Very few persons acquit themselves

Philadelphia Public Ledger, the bride
groom was called upon, as usual, to
respond to the given toast, in spite of
the fact that he had previously pleaded
to be excused.
Blushing to the roots of his hair, he.
rose to his feet. He intended to imply
that he was unprepared for speech
making; but he unfortunately placed
his hand upon the brides shoulder, and
looked down at her as he stammered
out his opening and concluding words :.

that the British Isles produce fish ev-

with q population of about as many
people, while the United States with
twice the population, reaps finny har-
vest of only about the same value.
This is partly due to the proximity of
every portion of these islands to the
seaboard, whereas vast areas of the

The average man is not accustomed
to regard his health as his very best
asset, yet that Is precisely what 1t Is.
The man who will accord due regard
to his health, from strictly business
standpoint, will go further, last longer
and accomplish more in the end than
one who makes health an after-consid-
Grafton. Success which is attained at
the expense Of health is worth abso-
lutely nothing to the man who attains
It. There is no pleasure either In the
process or in the final result.

The aim Of the reformers In school
and college athletics should be clearly
and directly the betterment of condi-
tions, not the extirpatlon Of the love
Of combat which is inherent in the ma
ture Of mankind. The notion that hard
general work, resulting in full muscu-
lar development, saps vitality, weakens
the organs and is wearying incubus
to the Individual is so illogical as hard
ly to deserve an answer. But some
persons believe this. Such should pity
the wild animals that, guided only by
an instinctively physiological need, run
jump, pursue and wrestle with one an.
other, thereby using and developing
fully their whole bodies.

If we have a Catholic in the Cabi-
net. so has Great Britain. Lord Ripon
former Viceroy of India, convert and
Home Ruler, leads the Liberal forces
IN the House of Lords, says the Cath
Ole Standard and Times. We heard
MIN speak in support of Home Rule
in the Theatre Royal, Dublin, a good
many years ago. and found him a very
pleasing and forceful orator. He has
since remained steadfast to his relief
GUS as we'll as his political faith, Lord
Rlpon will break the record in being
the very first Catholic who has held
the position of leader Of the House of
LORDS. The office of leader of the
House of Lords, like that of leader of
the House of Commons, is entirely
unknown in practice till at least two
centuries after the Reformation, and
every one of Lord Ripon's predecessors
in the position were members of the
Anglican Church. The Irish Lord
Lleutenancy, however, could not be
held by Lord Ripon as Catholic, all
though he has filled the position of
Governor General for India; nor would
he be eligible to act as one of the
Lords Justices, by whom the functions
of the office of Lord Lieutenant are
discharged during the absence of the
Viceroy from Ireland. English law is
surely a wonderful thing!"

According to the annual report

According to the annual report of
the Registrar-General of ireland, the
estimated population of the country
had fallen in the middle Of the year
1908 to 4,402,192. The natural increase
of population, that is the excess of
births over deaths, was 24,298, while,
on the other hand, the loss by emf
grafton amounted to 36,9O2. A de-
crease Of 1864 in the population
would thus appear to have taken pla ,e
during the year; but against this de-
crease there is some slight set OF o.
immigration Of which no official record
has been obtained. The marriages reg
istered during the year numbered a.
961, the births 103,S11, and the deaths
1888. The marriage rate, which .s
5.22 per 1000 of the estimated popu
lation, shows an increase of O.01 a.:
compared with that for the year 1908
and is 0.21 above the average rate for
the ten years 1S94-1903, and the high
est rate for any of those years. The
birth rate (2se per 1o0o). shows an
increase of 0.5 as compared with the
preceding year, and is also 0.5 above
the average rate for the ten years
1S94-1903, and the death rate ISL per
ISoo) is 0.6 above the rate for the
preceding year, and OIL above the aver
age rate for the ten years, 1S94-1sO3.

THE JACKSON ANNIVERSARY.

On last Monday evening the JEFF
ferson Club of Minneapolis held ban
quet in honor of Jackson Day. From
the character of the speeches made
at that banquet neither Andrew Jack
son, We're he present, nor any other
constitutional Democrat, would recog-
nize the affair as q Democratic meet
Ing. The meeting seems to have been
intended for the purpose of endorsing
the platform promulgated by the club
above mentioned some time since.
wherein Municipal Ownership of Pub
lie Utilities was placed squarely in
the foreground--to be made an issue,
as it were, in the coming campaign in
this city. Whether any real good has
been accomplished or not remains yet
to be seen. One thing is certain, the
| good standing of the Jefferson Club
was made manifest by the admirable
i manner in which the meeting was con-
Quoted under it's auspices on Monday
evening.
We have no quarrel Wish municipal
ownership of public utilities. In fact
we think that a great mistake was
made at the beginning when the peo-
pie Of large cities farmed out public
business to private corporations. We
think the time will come when the
people will be enabled to recover back
their streets and alleys. We hope that
when that time comes the people will
have honest officials in public office
so that their increased business may
be run with some degree of efficiency
and honesty. 1t looks as though mem.

Famed Fontenoy.

Captain Fl. de Malleray, in an article
in recent number of La Revue, de-
scribes his modification, when visiting:
the battlefield recently, to find that To-
cally the victory is ascribed to the
English, says the ST. James Gazette.
When he indignantly protested, the
reply he received was: But it is in
scribed on the tablet set up in mem.
Dry Of the battle
Then the French officer discovered
that it was the wording of the said
tablet which caused the strange error
1t runs:
In Memory of the Heroic Irish Soldiers,
Who Changed Defeat Into Victory
at F'ontenoy, May XII, 1745.
God Save Ireland.
Captain Malleray says that it is not
surprising, when the only memorial on
the battlefield is in English and refers
to victory, that visitors should suppose
the English won. Few people know
he adds, that the Irish fought on our
side, and Irish and English are ALI
considered one" Very funny that a.
battle won by the French, claimed by
the Irish, should thus be considered to-
the English.
On going into the history of the tab
let, the captain discovered that about
two years ago an -Irishman,
from San Francisco, Frank Sullivan,
had it erected.
