THE WAGE WORKERS SHARE.
Some People Jump at Figures Which
Will Not Stand Analysis.

Reckless statements regarding the
share received by the wage worker of
the wealth he helps to produce are fa-
miliar enough" says the Master Print
Cr. For instance, we are told that the
census of 1900 shows that the average
annual wage paid is $43750 and the
wealth produced is $245l per capita per
annum.
Nov. the census does not show that
the average wage per anhum is as stated
and the per capita value of the wealth
produced is grossly exaggerated, at
least as regards manufactured products
The total selling value of the manu-
features produced in the United States
in the census year was $13,014, PSF, 49S.
The cost Of raw material. of which many
million dollars worth was imported and
therefore not produced by American
workingmen, was $734S, l44, 1855.
The miscellaneous expenses. rent,
fuel, etc, amounted to Stops, OBS, GIL /:
the wages paid to workers were So
BPS, 691 ,254, but adding the salaries of
clerks. foremen, etc, of whom the So
cialstic statisticians take no account, the
wage account summed up S2.732 921 :
52S. The gross outlay of the manufactur-
ers thus came to $11 100. 101. 1914 and
their apparent gross profits were ST.
905, 1S5, G04.
But from this various deductions
in incorporated manufacturing compa-
MES there were T0S,623 proprietors, the
vast ma jorty of them, as the census ex-
pressly states. depending upon the
profits of their business for the reward
of their labor. Probably % per cent. Of
them worked in their shops, contributing
to the production of the wealth of which
their wage earning fellow laborers are
wrongly described as the sole producers.
IF only $4,000 of these proprietors
were actual workers and if an average
of $500 a year be allowed as a fair
wage for their labor the result would be
that $975,OOO,000 should be deducted
from the apparent gross profit, leaving
about SS30,OO0O00 to the credit over
actual cost But the manufacturing
plants represented an investment of
So. S74 ,664.0S7 and if per cent be al
lowed for interest on the investment
the net profit would be a little over (
per cent, out of which the deterioration
of the plant would have to be made

MEMS HATS IN CHURCH.
Their Care a Troublesome Question
Awaiting Solution.

1t is a mater of historical record that
our toretathers in the Seventeenth CEN

manned for an English newspaper to tes-
tify that in lis opinion gentlemen SOME
times refrain from going to church be-
cause Of their hats.
\ daily paper has recently suggested
that the very irregular attendance of
upper class males at church may he due
10 the respect witt which they regard
their headgear and the inadequate ac-
cummodation provided in sacred ediiCes
for the safe bestowal of the cherished

They quote a Piccadiny halter as say
ing. Il receive more hats To block on
Monday morning than ON any other day
of the week. and Judging from the OBJ

owners benefit very lille by going TO
church. If they place their hats under
the seats they are kicked Icy the occu-
pants of the pews behind, ladies' being
almost as careless as mschie1yous boys
in this respect. Then il they deposit the
hats ON the seats, some one-probably

While It is we'll 10 heed every word

policy. And agriculture, the real foun-

with every new expenditure on railway
construction. We are not In the flush

There are three critical stages in n
woman's life which leave their mark
in her career. The first of these stages
is womanhood, or the change from Il
care free girl to budding womanhood,
The second is motherhood, and the
third is Change of Life
PerilS surround each of these stages,
and most of the misery that comes
to women through i'll health dates
from one or another of these i'm
portant crises.
Women should remember that Lydia

the breaking point, by the reaching of
an agreement between Premier Glenn

nature of this compromise between the
premier and the minister of educa-

the minister of education has prevail

cause the Socialists have become
