THE POOR RICHER

Continued from page f

educated working man, with taste which comes
of culture and gentle breeding is not SO greatly
separated from that of the very rich.
American manufacturers produce annually
a million and a half watches, giving to the
child of the working man a better timepiece
than was carried by the rich a century ago.
jewelers. turn out countless articles of utility
and beauty to be sold to the masses, and
annually the chas1n which separates the per-
sonal adornment of the rich from that of the
middle class is narrowing. so far as beauty is
concerned. The purse proud rich, in their
adornment or in their clothes, can outshine
the professional man and skilled mechanic
only by barking back to the genius of barba-
rism, making their persons forms for exhibit
ing costly articles, and glorying in the
Der and cost of their clothes and jewels rather
than in the good taste of their adornment.
The discovery of America not only caused
the commerce of the world to shift its base,
and front on the Atlantic instead of the Medi-
terranean; it provided an avenue for reliev-
ing the pressure of population, and thus be
came a potent factor in ushering in an era of
free institutions. So also the economic con-
tinent of increased production has not only
given the toiling millions greater relative
share in the consumable goods, such as food,
clothing and personal adornment, but has
secured for them shorter hours of labor,
greater leisure, and more education and re-
finement.

A Pointer for Socio1oeists

THE full significance of these changes is not
grasped by the great majority of sociologi-
cal students. They look out upon a world in
which the ownership of land houses, and
other permanent forms of wealth differs rela-
lively but little from what it was ten centuries
ago. This fact and the glitter of great for
tunes dazzleS their eyes, and they cannot see
the tremendous revolution in the distribution
of the eighty per cent. of the products of human
labor which are Consumable. They do not see
how the industrial world is shifting front with
reference to this eighty per cent, even while
for the time being the other twenty per cent.
moves industrially along its ancient lines of
special privilege. Their gaze is still upon a
world untouched by the revolution born of
increased production, and they sum up the
lot of the toilers in what they call the iron
law of wages That SO called law is a correct
statement of the condition of the working peo-
pie before the advent of increased production,
and the subsequent shifting of industry from
what the writer calls the sea of special priv
iege to the great ocean of democratic aspira-
ton and attainment.
1t is from that old civilization that we derive
the saddest word of our language, the word
"penury." 1t is word that to describe
the most abject want. 1t comes from an early
Greek verb which signifies to toll for ones
daily bread From the same verb the Greeks
had their words for hunger, famine and want
The word itself takes US back therefore to the
time when those who toiled for their daily
bread were in constant want and at times
suffered hunger, and in year of crop failure
were destroyed in countless numbers by fam
inc. In the best years they were content to
eat bread for "canaille,' while the rich con-
sumed that made from fine flour.
The so called iron law of wages" described
the condition of people in days when this word
"penury" originated; in years of plenty
wages barely suficed to maintain existence
But with increased production and the shifting
of the centers of industry, that law became
displaced by what the writer would call the
golden law of greatest profit" The en-
ployers and capitalists a whole secure
their greatest gain only as they attain increased
production and find a market for the goods
turned out, and this is possible only as the
standard of living is elevated among the
masses and they given increasing
share of the increasing products of toll
In this article has been sketched in outline
a few of the gains which have come to the
toilers as the result of this modern change of
industrial front. This change has only begun
and will go with accelerated speed until
there is an approach to equality not only in
the distribution of the consumable portion of
the products of toll, but also in the possession
of the more permanent forms of wealth. At
least the writer can see no other outcome of
the ever increasing product which results from
human labor directed by high degree of in
telligence.

Mechanics and Kings

is true that an approach to equality such
as has been noted for shoes, has not been
aimed in more than a few articles of clothing
personal adornment; but the science and

DANNY DRISCOLL
Wins The PRIZE
THE SEVEN-YEAR-OLD NEWSBOY
DEMONSTRATES GREAT
BUSINESS ABILITY.

Little Danny Driscoll has been
awarded the prize for selling the
greatest number of Bonanzas during
the month of April.
The contest started on the first
day of the month, and Danny led
from the start. The prize was a suit
of clothes or an entire boys outfit
valued at $25. Danny was up be-
times every morning, but be it said
to the credit of the other little mer-
chants it was generally a pretty close
ace as to who would reach the Office
first for his papers.
Lindley Black was second in the
race at the finish, and X. Lutz was
third. All the boys did well, and
not one of them need be ashamed
of his record.
Danny Driscoll, the winner, is only
Z years of age, and was born in
Butte, Mont. He is a great little
business man, and already he has
all kinds of stock, has money in the
bank, and is thinking of putting w
a building to rival the Hickey block.
Danny is another Beaut from Butte
Montana.

A number of the sport loving peo-

Tuesday night to witness the
fight, and there was
quite a diversity of opinion as to the
merits of the contest.
Jack (Walkabout) Fleishman, was
one of those who went from here to
see the mill, and Jack has seen fights
enough to venture an opinion which
should have some weight.

Mcclellan was really the more sci
entifc man of the two. When the
men went to their corners Mcclellan
was, if anything, the favorite. But
the end came all of a sudden in the
middle of the second round, when
Lundy found his man, and went to
him hammer and tongs. He is a
hard hitter, and punished Mac Sc
verely, knocking him out. Mac
showed gameness but very poor judg-
ment, in not sliding to the floor, and
saving himself. AS long as he stood
up there was nothing for Lundy to
do but to go at it. That is one Of
the rules of the game. l must con-
fess, It did not occur to me that it
