THE QUESTION OF WAGES.

Whenever general improved
wage condition has been effected in
any occupation among Industrial
workers during the transition from
small to great enterprises in the last
half century in America it has been
brought about by the ttrades-unions.
Where the wages of non-union
skilled workers have been raised ap-
proximately to the same level as the
union scale it has been because the
non-unionists would join the union
and strike if their wage rate were
kept by their employer too much be-
low the union scale.
The wages of persons in domestic
service have risen principally be-
cause, through the rise of wages in
industry in general, the more active
men and women have left the house
hold class to join the classes in
greater or less part organized. They
have passed within the influence of
the higher standard enforced by the
unions. In household service the
elementary steps in education have
had an effect in promoting opposi-
tons to mental conditions. The op-
position has been strengthened by
the existence of the opportunity to
get into unionized occupations?
In other words, the observer who
speaks indefinitely of "a general i'm
provement in the condition of the
masses" in this country really, on an
alysis, sees these main facts (aside
from the prosperity of the farm
owning class, due to causes special to
that branch of production): Union
wages and hours advancing the well
fare of the body of skilled workers
in industrial centets, and conse-
quently of their families, dependents
and trades-people, and, further, of
part of the unskilled and non
union classes.

mask of responsibility and compel Of
tenders to stand before the community

corruption has gone far, but not too
far for moral recovery. The vast mass

A VIEW OF RACE SUICIDE.

If the average American whose an
cestors were born in this country
since Revolutionary times will exam
inc his genealogical tree, he will find
that as they were pioneers upon the
advancing border of civilization their
families numbered 6 to 16 ch1ruren.
AS these children of large families
remained EAST they of necessity
be came farm. renters, laborers, en-
tered the professions or were en-
ployes in the large cities Race sui
government land was all taken The
number Of children in succeeding
generations steadily decreased, often
from bakers dozen to nil in three
generations. The student of history
will uniformly note that the breeding
grounds of the human race are
where land is practically free by
possession or conquest for individ-
ual enterprises, where the settler con-
trolls all the labor of his mind and
body, and is sure of possessing all
that he produces under these con-
ditions, though the risk be hazar-
dous and the toll and sacrifice enor-
omus. large families are the rule.
When individual liberty to engage
in personal enterprise is gone, or the
individual cannot be sure of possess
ing all that he risks and works to
gain, race suicide is the rule. In
dustrial liberty is therefore one con-
dition of increase of population.
In all cases of race suicide the
natural increase of population is
thrown back in to the hereditary and
acquired interests of society, which
freeze out personal enterprise and

A VOODOO SORCERESS.

From the Metropolitan Magazine:
A personal character in the Creole
negro world is Delphine. Besides being
a female Jack-of-All trades, she can
cook first class course dinner, knows
the healing power Of plants and can
cure the most obstinate HEADACHE by
mere manipulation of her large and
supple black hand. Delphine is largely
in demand as mistress Of ceremony for
every wedding. funeral and christen-
ing in her part of the town. When she
has donned her gayest toggery she pre-
sents a really striking figure. In her
ears she wears enormous hoops Of
gold and red is invariably the dominat--
Ing note in her apparel. She enjoys
unlimited popularity among the white
folks, but is held in awe by the people
of her own color. And there is reason
for this. Rumor has almost reached
the point Of certainty that Delphine is
a voodoo sorceress and has time and
again exerted evil spells upon her race
Who knows?
One fact is clear--she is not always
as suave and forbearing with her own
kind as a cOmpatriot should be- AS
she stands in the evening light. smok-
ing her corncob pipe, with armsakim-
DO, there is a look of mystery and
thoughtfulness in her bead-like eyes:
She is no doubt thinking that the.
handsome rooster, now pecking at the
last grains of corn fallen from her hand
is eating his last meal on earth, and
that tonight she will snatch him from
his roost, decapitate him and present
him all warm and bloody to the great
spirit voodoo. the mighty and sacred
snake, the divinity of her diabolical
sect, together with the other oblations
OF toads, lizards and young owls. But,
Of course, such assumptions are based
on what her own people think of her,
Tor old .Delphine may never have been
inside of a voodoo house, and her solici-
tude for her fine chanticleer might just

THE WICKEDNESs OF WORRY

Worry is one of the worst curses
of modern life, says w. J. Dawson.
I say of modern life. not because peo-
pie thousand years ago did not
worry, because as civilization ad-
vances men become more highly
strung more sensitive and less cap
able Of detachment. Thus we often
say, in very expressive phrase, that
Il thing gets upon our nerves."
Something distressing happens 10 US,
and We cannot shake it off. Someone
kindly, and The word or deed rankles
in our mind. We think it over until
It is magnified into a grevious and in
territorial insult. We take it to bed
with us and no sooner is the light
out than We begin to recall it, and
turn over in our minds all the cir
cumstances That occasioned it. We
sleep feverishly, haunted all the time
with the sense o. something disa-
! greeaoie. We awake and the &C
! cursed thing is still rambling in our
minds. This is one form Of worry
4 which is very common among people
SIof sensitive minds.
a$ Another form Of worry Is the tend
I ency to brood over pas: errors. The
business man or the public man is
suddenly overwhelmed with the con-
Ssviction that he has made an awful
Sfmess of things. The worst of all CAL
y antilles Is the lack OF energy to crap
4 pile with calamity and in most cases
ssgit is worry that breaks down a mans
energy.
81 IA third, and perhaps more com.
mon form, is the gloomy anticipation
of future calamities. There are some

themselves with the possibilities OF
disastrous tomorrow. They live
in terror. When actual sorrow
comes upon us most of us discover
unexpected resources of fortitude in
ourselves. But nothing sickenss the
heart so much as imagined sorrow.
OF this form of worry we may we'll
say, Its wicked" -,
have no doubt most of my read
ers know by experience what some
of these things mean. No doubt also
many of them have many real causes
for anxious thought, and they will
aske me how I propose to deal with
it. One of the best ways is to be
content and live a day at time.
Sidney Smith counsels us, with rich
wisdom to take short views of life.
Each day is an entity in itself. 1t
Is rounded off by the gulf of sleep;
it has it's own hours which will never
return: 1t stands separate, with it's
own opportunities and pleasures.
Make the best of them
Another good and simple rule is
never to take our griefs to bed with
us. Easy to say, but how difficult
to do" will be replied. But it is
largely a matter of will and habit.
John Wesley once said that he
would as soon steal as worry, for
each was equally sin. To worry is
wasteful and foolish ;we> have also
to reccollect that it is wicked
