A Vegetarian Victory.
From the Boston Transcript.

From the Boston transcript
1t looks as if the consumers had won
something very like victory In their con-
test with the beef trust. For the members
of the great organization are inclined to be
'tetchy," as they see they are the victims
of combine" 1t all came about because
one man has found that If he ate beef only
once instead of three times a day his rheu-
matism was less troublesome, and another
man there learned after three or four
months trial that, with meat figuring less
often than formerly on the breakfast table.
the bills sent in by his provisioner and
his family physician were smaller than ever
before SO even if In the beginning there
were thoughts among beef consumers OF
plotting revenge for the packers such in
tentions have disappeared. The changed
diet has led to changed and more desir-
able condition of bodily health. and even If
porterhouse steak were now put on the
bargain counter those who have been con-
verted to partial vegetarianism would never
go back to those olden menus which called
for meat in some form three times a day.

The Hero of the Hour.

We photographed him standing up,
And also sitting down;
We photographed his country place
Likewise his house in town.
We pictured him all smiling,
And we pictured him severe:
We pictured him from infancy
To manhood, year by year.
We photographed him walking,
And as horseman bold.
We kept on photographing till
His fame grew slightly cold.
A few years later If we CHANGED
His photograph to see,
We gave 1t just casual look
And maybe said. who's he?"

ing to an alarming extent.
And this will cause many to
believe that this unheard of liber-
atty in such simultaneous accord,
following this particular election
so closely, is not a generous i'm
pulse in consideration of the well
fare of their employees, who have
been overlooked all these years OF
prosperity. but will rather incline
them to ascribe this unanimity
of increase in wages to an effort
to check the growing discomfort
by forming a satisfied class to
use as a buttress against social
ism and radicalism, both of which
are looked upon by the trusts and
corporations as a menace to their
existence and exploitation OF the
public.
But. however. if the reason for
the increase given by the rail
roads, trusts and other indus
tries be the true one, then 1T
marks a departure from the COM

and it is to be hoped that the in

To one who desires to learn the
aims and objects sought in the
teaching of to-day; and certainly
every parent should be deeply
interested, these institutes fur
nish most satisfactory explana'

done in those schools where
there is a sympathetic under

and parents, it is evident that
visits by parents to teachers in

THE INCREASE Of WAGES
BY THE CORPORATIONS.

Recently the Pennsylvania
Railroad Corporation has raised
the wages of it's employees ten
per cent, and now comes the state
ment that the Standard Oil, the
Amalgamated Copper Company.
the United States Steel Corpora
ton and practically all the great
railroad and industrial corpora
tons of the country have decided
to increase the prevailing rate of
wages to their employees. The
reasons given for this step is the
increased cost of living and the
prevailing prosperity.
This prosperous condition of
the country has been alleged to
exist since Mckinley made his
famous campaign on the full din
ner pail slogan, a period covering
a number of years. Though the
day of high prices and increased
living expenses has been practi-
cally co-existent with this pros
perity, yet until the present the
corporations have failed to de-
velcp any serious thoughtfulness
for their employees sufficient to
make them sharers of their in
creased profit. On the contrary.
whatever Of increase in wages
has been gained has been unwil-
lingly yielded and often only af-
ter disastrous strikes. Which
will incline the public to disbe-
lieve the reason given for the in
crease, especially since the raise
has been decided upon with such
unanimity and look elsewhere for
the reason.
And it is exceedingly likely
that they will fancy that there is
some connection between the v0-
luntary raise and the develop.
