FRISCO FIELD FOR WORKERS.
City Needs Artisans and Laborers
in All Trades,

San Francisco is arising from its ashes
with a rapidity that surprises all and
building is progressing on ali sides, ac-
cording to Il dispatch. The labor situa-
tion is exciting much interest and inquiry
and the California promotion committee
after careful investiga tion and confer
ences with employers and employees, has
ascertained that in all trades except the
building trades the demand is fully sup
piled with the one exception of ordinary
laborers, several thousand of whom are
in immediate demand for railway con-
struction and debris removal.
In the building trades conditions are
entirely different. Mechanics are needed
in all departments of the building indus.

p.u,rkable Reconciliation Case

The life-saving service has received a
report of the resuscitation of Robert
Mooney near Wakefield, Z. l., after he
had been under water for twenty-three
minutes. The man had been thrown into
the water on July by the capsizing of a
boat. In the operation one gallon of
wafer was expelled from his lungs. An
artificial respiration was kept up for one
hour and forty-eight minutes before the
first signs of returning consciousness ap-
peared. The patient did not recover COM
plete consciousness until the next day.

Ike Government as an EmpIoye,

In an address to the economic section
Of the American Association for the Ad-
vancement of Science at Cornell univer-
sity Monday, II. I. Newcomb, the railroad
statistician, challenged the prevalent opin-
ion that the government is the best em-
pioyer. To prove this he quoted statistics
showing that while the cost of living ad-
vanced II per cent from 1896 to 1904,
and While the average wages in private
employ had advanced 1916 per cent, there
was not the slightest advance in wages in
public employment. He referred also TO
the restrictions placed on federal office
holders. in the curtailment of their polit-
ical privileges, and reminded his hearers
that all except government employees are
free to petition Congress. Furthermore.
Mr.. Newcomb points out that when the
government becomes an employer it has
the power to compel the service of it's
employees upon terms of its own choosing,
and experience has shown that it will
exercise this power.

The next group is coincident with the
revival after the panic of 1873. At that

Valentine Democrat., 1906-07-26

1t is to be observed, however, that
though the absolute number of immigrants
is greater for the last period than for
either of the others it is contribution to
a much larger resident population. The
census of 1850 gave population of 3d.
1856, that of 1880 gave so, 155, ,7S3, and
that of 1900 gave 76,3O3,3S7. Hence the
fresh foreign element introduced in the
early sos was greater in proportion to
the population than the larger immigra
tion of later years. 1t was so great that
we have the Know Nothing party as one
of the political phenomena of the times.
The increase of numbers in recent years
is hardly so remarkable, therefore, as the
change in the character of the immigra-
ton. Until the present current began the
big immigration had been German, Brit
ish and Irish, and the Scandinavians as
whole made relatively large showing.
In 1905 the immigration from Austria
Hungary was 275,693 Italy, 221, ,479;
Russia, 1S4,S97; United Kingdom, 137,.
147; Denmark, Norway and Sweden, co.,

his caustic wit. One day he sat IN

INDIAN PHILOSOPHY.
Odd Dispute Between Hindoo and
Christian Brahman.

(nFISLidH
I was once in the market place OF
a city in the Deccan, listening to
Christian Brahman preach the Cos
pei. A student from a college III
Ceylon translated his words for me
in excellent English. The preacher
spoke of the nature of God, infinite,
all good, all wise, all loving, when a
Hindoo in the congregation began
vehemently to contradict. The dis
pute became so hot that it was pro-
posed to leave the street and, enter
ing a garden near at hand, to sit
down under the trees and have the
discussion to an end. The substance
of it was this: The Hindoo asks the
Christian as follows: "1ou declare
God to be infinite?" eyes" "What
is the meaning of infinite? ?" at
means limitless." "And what part
of speech is good?" "Good is an
adjective" "And what is the gramA
NAUTICAL function of an adjective"
'"To limit a noun.' GLOW, then, do
you apply an adjective to God, call
ing him good and thus limiting the
limitless?"
BY this philosophy, therefore,
God cannot be described, no adjec-
tive applies to him, and we can mel
Their preach about him nor urge any
to worship him. How, then, can we
have anything to do with him? In
the conversation described above the
Christian Brahman took his turn in
asking questions: "You believe IN
God as infnite?" eyes, / so be-
lievc." "And you say that no ad-
iective can be applied to him." 81
so affirm" GLOW, then, can you
distinguish him from nothing?"
That becomes the question, how can
you distinguish him from nothing?
You cannot by logic or discourse,
but you may by long process of con-
temptation or of asceticism bring
yourself to a place where you will
undc~-tand. Then it will appear to
you t4at God is the only reality and
that everything which men regard
as real is an illusion-earth and
man and sky and devils and gods
and life and death and my own soul
all are such stuffs as dreams, hav-
ing no real existence, for that which
is is the infinite. My own existence
is illusion, like all the rest, except
ing as I come to identify myself with
the changeless, timeless, limitless,
indescribable ultimate and absolute.
