all of this we hear stories of idle men in different parts of the country. Sometimes the complaint of men who are idle is that they cannot get work. Sifted down, this often amounts to a scarcity of work which toilers deem worth while. The days wages offer ed may look attractive but taking the year through the man finds that the remuneration is too small. Per manent jobs on public works pay less per diem than transient jobs on pri- vate enterprises. And yet the supply on public jobs generally exceeds the demand. One reason why laboring men prefer the government job at low wages to better wages on private work is that it enables them to live in a permanent home. Money goes farther in that way. Grown up child ren get work, and sometimes the housewife is an earner Living with his family the Worklngman gets more out of life and dollar goes farther. The big wages are generally away from home. It costs money to pull up and travel hundreds of miles. And the job may last but season or at best a year or two Manufacturers pitch their plants in region where population Is dense and laborers plen- ty. They have mastered the trick of getting the job and labor together. But it must remain problem of all transient enterprises or those sudden ly swamped with work until other at- fractions are added to the bid of tenn porary high wages.

SATURDAY, AUGUST sl, 1907.

Apropos of 1908 the Wall street Journal says: "Wall street must make up its mind that 1t cannot for some time to come control the president of the United States. It is best even for our own ultimate welfare that it should never control him. The most that it can hope for, and this at least it ought to secure, is that the next president of the United States while independent of Wall street, will be fair toward Wall street, using the term Wall street to represent the financial the investing and the cor poration interests of the country" It is only when Wall street forgets it's proper station and assumes to con trol the president that trouble comes to 1t in Washington. Outside of the street no one considers che interests centered in that twenty-foot alley par amount. @ @ f

What they term .'the spfneless char acter" of Secretary Taft's advocacy of tariff revision is proving source of comfort to many democrats who believe that the country is now ripe for genuine tariff revision along demo- cratic lines,. says, an exchange Mir Taft, it will be remembered adso- cates a revision of the tariff at d spec ial session of congress to be called for the purpose immediately after March 4, 1909. but he asserts his be- lief that the tariff should be revised along protection lines, and that doubt less means that the protected pets of the republican party must not be per, mitted to suffer any great inconsen- fence. The Massachusetts republican papers are greatly upset because the man they regard as most likely to be the presidential candidate of their party is not more emphatic in his declaration that the tariff should be revised downwards, although they try to find some comfort in the fact that he openly and frankly advocates some ...E1 sGtffas9fh msp1 10 Kind or revision; ouIa e--aa4aa1ssh of

Figures from the department of commerce and labor show steady in- rcease in the tide of immigration that is flowing into this country. There has been an annual immigration of over 100000 for each year of the past three years, the high record being made in 1906 with 100000 aliens. But the figures for July JHstspast are 97,1S2, an increase of fiftesns per cent over the figures for the. same month of last year. There is this to be said, however. that there were few CT deportations and: the immigration bureau states that this was not due to more lax Inspection, but that the standard of immigrants was actually higher. It is of course to be regretted that so much of this immense tide is congested in the big cities when there is a real demand for immigrant labor in the country districts, and especially in the south. But it is believed that the newly established bureau of information for immigrants in the department of commerce and labor may do something to obviatc this trouble.

Dispatches from Manila announce that on the back of the local elections where some of the most notorious in- surrectionists were chosen for the in- sular legislature, there have been mob processions before the governors palace where the Amreican flag was insulted and where the rebel flag was given the place of honor in the parade One might think that this country had had enough of bestowing the fran ehise on people who were not ready to receive it by several generations of training. But experience in this case seems to have been a poor teacher Experienced observers assured secre- tary Taft before he ever left Manila that the Filipinos were short of vot- ing age by about two hundred years. But the government must needs insist on thrusting the ballot into the hands of a people who had not only never used it, but had never seen it used Shrewd political agitators, like the ear- pet-baggers of reconstruction days. were quick enough to see the use they might make of the situation. and the result Is that the government is not thanked by the enfranchised natives and has a potential revolution sim mering under it's nose again. The civil government of the islands is up against the white mans burden again and this time with complications. perhaps it is about time to make sale.
