Welfare of the Workers.

The welfare of the workers depends
upon justice. Not the justice of an eye
for an eye, but the justice of the Gold
~ lie, which is the natural law of
..s.isaT life. This law requires that idlers
shall be poor and workers rich; that
he who will not work, neither shall he
eat. :" But in fact the idle are often
rich, while workers are generally poor.
Some explain this by charging power
ty to idleness; but it is the rich and not
the workers who as class are idle.
Others say that the workers drink
themselves into poverty; but the rich
drink more than the poor and yet re-
main rich. The true explanation is the
obvious fact that in our industrial svs-
tenn there is less work to do than work.
Sers to do it. Consequently we have a
disemployed labor force which con-
stantly reduces the pay of the work.
ers below their earnings, through I'M
derbidding. This disemployed class
springs from the universal monopolv
of unused land. The withdrawal from
use, of land needed for use, reduces
the demand for workers. Trade unions
realize that there is less work than
workers, but meet the condition by
trying to increase the competition of
work for workers. The welfare of the
worker is to be served by establishing
equality OF right and reciprocal duties.
The law OF mime, thine and ours'' is
the law. The fruits of my work are
mine, the fruits of your work are yours.
and old mother earth is ours. This is
the essence of industrial justice. 1t is
the doctrine Of the Golden Rule. 1t is
the one thing needed for the welfare of
the workers. The Public.

Food the Brain Needs.
Before the international school con.
gress at London DR.. Sir James Creigh.
on-Brown spoke of dietary for school
children and ridiculed the common
idea that fish was especially adapted
for feeding the brain, saying that phos.
phorus is no more the secret of genius
than tomatoes the cause of cancer
What the working brain did need, he
said, was food in which the chemical
constituents We're properly proper.
toned and which was digestible and
palatable. In his opinion animal food
was necessary in order to supply an
abundance of proteid. Brain workers
of all ages he advised to take frequent
small meals rather than infrequent
heavy meals.
New Life Restoring Apparatus.
%. c. Hall, writing in the August
Technical World Magazine, asserts that
professor George Poe of South Nor.
folk, Va, is able to restore life to ap.
parently dead animals, his treatment
being based upon the we'll known
method Of forcing oxygen into the
lungs. For this purpose he has devised
an artificial respira tor modelled in all
respects after nature. 1t embodies two
small cylinders, each having an inlet
and an outlet, within which plungers
work simultaneously and from which
tubes are conducted to the nostrils or
mouth of the patient. One cylinder is
supplied with oxygen, and the outlet of
the other discharges directly into the
atmosphere. The plungers are worked
by hand and timed according to normal
respiration. Thus In one movement
noxious gases from the lungs are
drawn into one cylinder, while the next
movement forces oxygen from the 9TH
er cylinder into the lungs. This de-
vice has been patented and will soon
be upon the market.

Simple.
The Baltimore Sun gives the Ameri-
lam itizen something to think about

The Baltimore Sun gives the Ameri-
ahzitizen something to think about
when IN says: 1.-THE president has been
'trust-busting for seven years, and if
any private citizen in this whole broad
land has received any benefit from his
exertions-i the price of any one trust
made article has been reduced by the
'trust-busting' which has SO delighted
the country then the market reports
do not disclose the fact Naaman, the,Sy-
rian, rejected the prophets receipt for
t'ss. curing his leprosy because it was
elple. 1t was only to wash and
s6e clean. He demanded something spec
tacular. He wanted Elisha to come
out to him and stand and call upon the
Lord and strike his hand over the place.
And SO the real cure of the monopoly
that is affecting the country is too sim
pie to impress the public. What is mo-
nopoly? 1t is the absence of compe-
tition. Then why not, in the name of
reason and common sense, take down
the bars and let competition enter? A
great fine may be imposed upon the
Standard Oil company. But what will
that avail? It will simply result in a
higher price for oil, and so the people
will lose instead of finding relief in that
kind of 'trust-busting.' If the sugar
trust Is exacting an unfair price for
sugar, why not let the German refiner-
les compete with them? If the tobac-
co trust maintains high prices, why not
let Cuba compete with it? This is not
only too simple, but it would be too eff
fective. The people who are standing
pat on the tariff do not want the trusts
curbed.''

SOCIOLOGICAL
ostentatious Wealth. Scored.


In n recent address at the New York
state Chautauqua assembly Bishop
Henry c. Potter, speaking OH the rela
ton of the church to social unrest, stat
ed as his belief that among the greatest
causes of this unrest We're the lavish
and extravagant expenditure by the
rich and the presence of luxury in the
midst of the squalor and privation of
tenement life. He also arraigned the
church for Its indifferences, inaction
and lack of personal sympathy for the
physical and mental ills of the people.
The same note was struck by another
speaker at Chautauqua, Mrs. ]. G.
ps-Stokes, wife Of the millionaire
Socialist, who denounced the methods
by which many Of the rich secure their
wealth as well as their ostentation in
using it. She said, THAT men and
women who crush the life out Of the

to luxuriate and idle and still further

Restricted Birth Rate Desirable.
Professor Edward A. Ross, head Of
the sociology department Of the Uni

students said that restriction in the
birth rate Is movement which at the
bottom Is salutary and that the evils
in its train appear to be minor or tran
sient or self limiting or curable," thus
taking direct issue with President
Rooseyelt's well known idea as to race
suicide. Professor Ross says he is
with those who hate famine war,
saber toothed competition, class antag-
onism, degradation of the masses, vast
ing Of children, dwarfing of women
and cheapening of men," and asks If
the time will come when the mother Of
| more than three is regarded as pub;

Causes of Social Unrest.
Among the addresses recently made

Of arousing class war, performed a

much criticised yellow journalism He
said, ''The yellow journalist, when he
literally yells the 100000 poor fami-

guessing" said W. N. Prall, commits
sioner of the Plttsburg Car associa-
ton, when he was asked for an esti-
mate of the Plttsburg district tonnage
for 1907.
"Would you venture an opinion that
it will be 125.OOeOOO tons!" ne was
asked.
"No, 1 have quit guessing. I made
a guess last year, putting the estimate
far above 1905. but fell short of the
actual figures. And now comes 1907
with everybody, every railroad and
every mill, breaking records, so | feel
I cannot even hazard a broad guess,
From what can learn from every
quarter, there will be higher records
in all classes of tonnage than has
ever been known. ALI the roads tell
the same thing about tonnage passing
all high records, and all shippers say
SO for their own plants. So there you
are"
Mr.. Prall's opinion Is borne out by
that Of railroad men and shippers who
are interested in the total tonnage.
The passenger traffc has also pass
ed all high records. New men are be-
ing hired almost every week to care
for the increasing business. Few pas;
senger cars are not in daily use, while
many are in the terminals only long
enough to be cleaned. Taken entire
ly, the railroads Of this section are
today using several thousand more
men in service than ever before in
railroad history. Further than this
the railroads are earning more than
ever before and are paying the high.

forced him into bankruptcy, Since
that time he had done nothing and
was pennlless. Warner was reticent
about what had occurred when talking
to Wilson just before the shooting.
Warner finally stated that he had

"But, said Warner, "he did not
