Unworthy and Mistaken Tactics,

A recent vituperative newspaper arti-
Gle aiming to iniure Gov. Vardaman in
the pending race for the senatorship,
caused The Herald to sound note OF
remonstrance and warning against a
campaign of abuse and detraction; re-
marking that the only effect TO be APP
pretended from such attacks, was reac-
tion against their proposed beneficial
ries. We are now in receipt of sour
rilous printed circular open to the same
rebuke seeking to injure Williams
through structures and slurs that are
equally offensive to fair aud decent
campaigning. 1t prompts repetition
of our former comment. Neither Of
these two candidates are amenable to
importations upon character, cor efforts
to show unworthiness for high station
and public trust.
We have no idea that the tactics
which The Herald reprehends meets the
of either Congressman Will
liams or Gov. Vardaman. We are quite
sure that neither seeks nor wishes TO
through unfair or unbecoming
attacks upon the other, by their respec-
tive supporters and champions. Most
assuredly neither can so succeed. The I
services and the standing of both are
viewed with pride by the great body of 1
,itizens of the state. Both are cour- |
lgeous, incorruptble, able and patriot l
c. These are qualities to be conceded 4
n all discussions Of their claims and
merits. Those who denv and decry
hem, and who thus strive 10 defeat Ell
her candidate are gnawing a file, We
rust The Herald can say so much with
mt arrogance OF presumption. As be-
ween the two We are the partisan of
either. Both have made good in

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER
Comparison OF Statistics Of Wages
for 1894 and 1905.

Washington, Oct. pa bulle-
tin on wages, hours of labor, and
retail prices Of food just issued
by the United States Bureau of
Labor is Of interest st this time
for the reason that il shows that
wage earners are obtaining a full
share Of the unprecedented pros
perity Of the country. The in
vestigations of the Bureau as to
wages and hours Of labor coy
cred all the principal mahurac-
turing and mechanical indus
tries of the United States for the
sixteen years from 1890 to 1905.
and the prices of food are given
for the same period.
The first years covered by the
report were years of high de-
gree of prosperity when meas
ured by standards of the past.
Then came the depression of 1893
and the succeeding years follow
ed by the wave of prosperity that
is now sweeping over the country
and that is rising constantly |
higher. An excellent idea of the
effect of this revival of business
on wage earners is afforded by a
comparison of the statistics of
1905 with those of 1894. Such
a comparison shows that the av-
erage wage per hour has increas-
ed 21.5 per cent while
the average hours worked per
week has decreased 80 per cent.
So that the average workman,
working shorter hours than in
1894, earns 1871 per cent more
Der week. During this same
period there has been a general
ADVANCE in the prices of most
commodities, but the average adj
'ance in prices has been much I
ess than the increase in wages.
