The Demand for Labor.

| The cry that comes from the Allan
tic 70 the Pacific and from the lakes
| to the gulf for more men. and for yet
more men and women to do the work
that offers, is partly explained by
James J. Hills recent statement that
the traffic of the country has more
than doubled in 10 years, says the St.
Louis Republic.
The productiveness of our fields and
factories and the good markets for all
that they can produce have stimulated
industry and trade to a point at which
the supply of intelligent or trained Ia
Dor is insufficient
By far the greater part of the horde
of immigration is. upon its arrival, fit
only for the toughest labor. There is
more than enough of that kind OF
work for it. But many of the immi-
grants do not seek hard bodily work.
They huddle in the large cities and
live miserably for a time by some sort
of petty trade until they master the
language and rise gradually TO COM
parative affiuence through self denial
and close attention to business.
The farmers. producing abundantly
and now getting good prices, have as
a class probably more than quadrupled
their purchasing power and their de-
mands for the comforts and luXuries
of life have made unprecedented bus
mess for merchants and manufacture
ers
In spite of many bad economic laws
the whole world is prosperous by some
unexplained impulse and we prosper
with it,
The prevailing difficulty in getting
English speaking men for the palmer
emplOyments is characteristic of
American development from the be
ginning. Opportunities have been so
great and so constantly expanding that
no man of ordinary intelligence and
application need long continue at
rough and ill-paid work.
The heavy work of this country has
been mostly done by the newly arrived
or by the African. The
of the immigrants. profiting
by the public schools and by the de-
mand for intelligent labor, have been
able TO do better.

Bird SIauRhfer.

Ladies who patroniZe the use OF
birds feathers in millinery may be in
terested TO know that certain species
of birds are threatened with extinction
by the prevailing fashion, says the
London Telegraph. The French organ
L'Aviculteur reports that in one mar
ket recently and at one sale there were
disposed of 1900 humminG birds, 2S.-
600 parrakeets, $1,000 kinGtishers, 20
900 aigrets and many thousand other
birds of gorgeous plumage. Germany
sends 10 London every year 2OOO0,OOO
feathers to be worked up into trim
mings. Some of the South American
republics have passed regulations to
restrain the indiscrminate slaughter
OF their ornamental birds. and in the
United States league of ladies has
been formed, with the warm support
of President and Mrs. Roosevelt, the
members of which forswear the wear
ing of feathers. The one hope for the
poor birds is that the day may soon
arrive when to wear the feathers Of
wild birds will be deemed bad form.
Nothing else can save them. The great
er their beauty the worse their impend-
ing fate.

Send Them to Prison.

While in Chicago the other night en-
route to Lincoln, w. j. Bryan was IL
erYiewed on politics in general and the
Standard Oil trust case in particular.
After landing Roosevelt for the
democratic things Roosevelt has done
Bryan expressed the hope that the
government would prosecute the 'oil
trust" this time as it should be and
can be prosecuted. Said the Nebras-
kan:
Imprisonment should be insisted
on if the trusts managers are found
guilty. Democrats have all along con
tended that the criminal manager of
a trust should be sent TO prison just
like any other criminal. This can be
done under the Sherman law. We
have tried to have this section of the
antitrust law enforced. | hope that
Mr.. Roosevelt will see it is done in
this case
And so do the public. You CAM
bust trust by imposing a fine. TAX
ing a few dollars away from a combin-
alton with billions of capital is most
miserably way to bust a trust A
combination with billions of dollars Of
capital sneer at punishment that calls
for payment of a few thousand dol
lars They make that back off the
people in about the same length Of
time that is required in pronouncing
sentence
But let the prison doors creak. push
the guilty trust managers into prison
cells give them the same kind of
treatment accorded poorer but less
despised criminals, and way of
busting trusts will have been dis
coyered-the only way.

ANNEX TO A NIGHT BANK
Women's Dressing Rooms Near Safe
Deposit Vaults.

For the benefit of its patronesSes,
ar ong whom are included many of the
most prominent women in New York
society, the Night and Day bank in
New York has perfected arrangements
that Will make its safe deposit vaults
an important adjunct of the New York
opera season, which comedies with the
reopening of social activities, says the
New York Herald.
Spacious retiring rooms have been
installed by the side of the vault cham
Der, where the women may array them
selves III their jewels and where after
they have worn them they may replace
them in safety without the risk OF Sc
creting the valua bles in their homes.
Nor is another feature of the new
financial institution of lesser impor-
tance which has to do with the estab-
lishment of an entirely separate bank
ing department for women. To the
rear of the present offices in Forty
fourth street complete equipment is
being put into position which viii be
given over exclusively TO the use Of
women.
To all purposes this will be wholly
separate bank There will be different
clerks and windows for the accomno-
dation of the female customers, who
Will enjoy all the privileges that are
extended to men, except that this side
of the building will be governed by the
regular banking hours. From until 3
the womenS bank of the Night and
Day bank will be open for business.
This move. which involves cOnsid-
erpble addition to the present struc-
ture, was decided upon because of the
increasing number of women patrons
whom it was thought could be given
better attention and accorded more
courtesies if they We're relieved of the
necessity of meeting the sterner Gus
toners on the same footing. The limo
walton has not as yet gone SO far as TO
Include the substitution of women
clerks and officers for the men who
now fill the positions.
Up to this time no safe deposit vaults
have been open after t o'clock or be-
fore in the morning. This meant
that miladi. robing herself for the
opera. must get her jewels before the
first hour and keep them in the house
until the following morning.
Under the new system it is expected
that the women will drive to the bank
before they go to the affairs and there
in elaborately appointed rooms array

EAR TROUBLES.

As a Rule They Are Due to Abuses
of Some Kind.
The best way to care for the ear is
70 study the things not to do. 1t is
one of the most Independent of organs,
knowing very well how TO take care of
itself. If it is duly respected, little
trouble or none will result. In cases
where something unforeseen goes
wrong physician should be consulted
at once. Almost all troubles of the
ear are due. to abuses of some kind.
The wax seems to worry Il great many
people and in their concern they usual
ly manage to seriously interfere with
its functions. In the healthy ear the
wax, or cerumen, is Il thin, yellowish
fluid that thickens into paste as it
dries. Nature provides for its natural
exit from the ear passage by uniting
1t with the tiny flakes of dead skin,
which fall outward unnoticed either by
seeing or feeling. Thus wax does not
accumulate in healthy ear, which has
just enough TO make sticky the stiff
little hairs that grow in the passage.
Instruments should never be poked
into the ear by the inexperienced nor
wads of material continually mopped
and squeezed into the opening for
cleansing. Usually such treatment in
duces an increase or caking of wax

with it. Cotton plugs in the ear are
useful at times, but should be used no
more than absolutely necessary. for

A Carnival of Crime.

More crimes are committed in the
United States than in any country or
earth. in the ratio of population. This
statement is said to be based on au
thoritative statistics, and it is one thai
ought TO set our people to thinking
and to searching for the cause, that d
remedy may be applied According to
Judge Marcus Kavanaugh, of Chicago
more persons have been murdered in
the United States during the last few
years-some forty-five thousand-than
have died within that time from ty.
phoid fever.
This is a terrifying total and one
which the judge explains by charging
Rock Island Argus., 1906-11-21

the cause up TO the law and the
courts. principally to tile way i'll which
the law is administered. ''The law Is
burdened with restrictions and techni-
calities,'' he said, 'and in almost every
case the criminal has nine chances of
escaping to one of being found guilty.
The judge is pretty well posted on
the conditions of murder
Perhaps he could suggest remedy
to make justice more effective There
is no denying that such a remedy is
needed. but the public wonld hardly
expect a layman to offer suitable
suggestion.

Plan For Large Peppermint Farm.

George Reynolds, who owns 1,200
acres of meadow lands near Rice Lake,
Wis, is building Il dixie along the wa
ter's edge to prevent the land from
being flooded. says the st. Paul Pioneer
Press. The soil is of the richest kind
and is Admirably suited for raising
sugar beets and celery, but Mr.. Reyn-
olds has a new idea and will start n
peppermint farm. From experiments
already tried il has been shown that
this plant thrives in this rich soil, and
next year the owner intends to plant
several hundred acres. If the crop is
q success he will have still erected
on the farm. AS high as $3.50 has been
realized from the oil taken from an
acre of the plant

an hour for lunch and no time for
supper.
Not long ago one of the girls work.
ing in such factory had her hand
caught in the wheels of a dangerous
machine and so mangled that it was
necessary to cut her arm off at the
shoulder. The accident was directly
due to violation by the employer of
the statute which requires safety
guards on this machinery. The lower
court awarded the girl damages, but
the court of appeals reversed the de-
cision on the ground that her con-
stitutional freedom of contract gave
her the right to assume all risk of
operating unguarded machinery. and
her act of keeping at work under
these conditions was in effect waiver
of claims for resulting damages. One
employer is mentioned, however, who
for practical reasons refuses to work
his girls overtime. He stated last
winter that years of experience had
proved to him that work was not so
we'll done when the workers were
tired, and If kept overtime they lost
much of their skill the next day
through fatigue. The view OF this en-
ployer is borne out by a report on an
iron foundry in Manchester. England,
where an eight-hour day was estab-
lished some years ago. Owing to keen
competition both at home and in for
eign markets, the experiment was
watched with interest. and after
eleven years the firm wrote: We are
fully satisfied that as regards the
comparison between eight and nine
hours a day. the balance OF advant-
age is in favor of the shorter period"

WORK OF GIRLS IN FACTORIES.

Although the law OF the state Of

women more than sixty hours a week
in factories. it is by no means uncon-
mon to find young girls in the factor

the girls employed there was menu

once a week. Noting the girls con
tinued absence the leader of the club
investigated and found that in that
shop the girls worked from s o'clock
in the morning until 10 o'clock at
night, with half hour out for dinner
and another in the evening for sup

or seventy-six hours a week, and for
this the girls received Sc a week. In
another place-a paper box factory
a girl operates Il cutting machine. To
keep ones hands clear of the knife
requires constant watchfulness, and
although guard has been invented
to prevent accidents 1t Is not used be-
cause 1t limits the output by one-half.
The operator herself removes it be-
cause with it she cannot do the re-
Quired amount of work and would lose
her position. During the rush sea-
son, which lasts for several months,
these girls work from 7:45 O'Clock in
the morning until at night. with half
