In explaining the low average
earnings prevailing In the Southern
states, the census bureau calls atten-
ton to othe rCcentness OF the doyel-
opment OF the factory system IN that
part OF the country, to the compar-
atlyely large proportion which wo-
men and children form OF the total
number OF negroes employed and to
the fact that the industries thus far
established In the South are those
which do not In any part OF the
country require the most highly
paid wage-earners. Il is very prob
able that the further industrial de-
velopment OF the South will result
ultimately In a material increase In
average earnings,
The figures presented In the bull
1etln would seem TO Indicate that the
differences In respect to average
earnings between large and small
establishments are comparatively
slight. In those employing less than
ten wage-earners the average was
S9.S3, while in those employing 500
wage-earners and over II was
S1O.2l.

WAGE FARMERS AVERAGES.

The department OF commerce and
labor, Washington issue a census
bulletin giving data OF the earnings
Of wage earners OF the United States.
The figures show that In 1904 the
average wagearner employed in man
sufacturing received $1,000 per week.
The average man received $I1.16;
the average woman SELF; and the
average child under 10 year of age,
s3.4s.
The highest average weekly earn
ings reported for the men in any
manufacturing industry were S21.8S,
pad in conducting lapidary work
The principal occupations In this in
dustry--those which cause the high
earnlngs-are connected with the
cutting, polishing, and setting OF dia-
monds and other precious stones.
Even when power-driven machinery
is used, those occupations call for
exceptional skill and judgment, and
as a result. a successful worker com
mands high rates.
Other industries which wero con-
splcuous for the high weekly earn
ings paid to men wage-earners en-
braced the manufacture OF corsets
tS16.S9), the manufacture OF stat
uary and art goods (s16.45). and
the manufacture OF watches
tS16.16). The manufacture of
watches was also conspicuous for the
high average earnings OF women
$3.50. No other industry en-
ploying any considerable number OF
women reported so large an amount.
Men making turpentine and rosln
received very low wages; children in
pickle factories averaged s1.S4 week

BETTER TINES FOR RAILROADS.

In discussing industrial conditions
in Chicago the other day w. G..
Brown, vice president OF the New
York Central railroad, cited the fact
that reports TO the car efficiency
committee OF the American Railway
association show the largest number
OF idle cars and engines OF any pc
rlod since the depression OF last Oc-
tober began. He gave 1t as his be-
lief. however, thai the month of
April will mark the lowest dip OF
the depression SO far as tonnage and
earnings are concerned. 1t IL said
the darkest hour Is just before the
dawn, and Mr. Brown believes this
extreme OF depression marks the end
and that by the 1st OF June a ma
terial Improvement will be seen.
Mr. Brown believes further more
that the coming period OF prosperity
will be more permanent than any IN
the past, because It will be builded
upon a foundation OF civic and com
mercial integrity and honor such as
the country has not recently known.
He added that agricultural condi-
lions all over the country could not
be much better and every visible
indication points to another year OF
abundant crops. Improvements in
business viii be gradual, but Mr..
Brown believes II will be healthy
and continuous. While he believes
this for the year 1908, he also be-
iieves that before the autumn OF
1909 the Improvement will be in
leaps and bounds and that the rail-
roads should anticipate this and
prepare for It by increasing in ev-
cry possible manner their capacity
for handling passengers and freight

was bewailing his untoward fate in

for some small sum he would insure
his never being called upon again to

The "Glve Us a Rest and SUR
shine" campaign, just inaugurated
by the Commercial clubs of import
ant American cities contains the seed
OF a movement which should become
nationwide. The slogan which Tex
as contributes TO the campaign,
Fewer Laws and Better Laws" de-
serves to be the paramount text.
The tendency to run all to legisla-
ton, commissions and rigmarolc,
which latter-day legislators have de-
veloped, is not wholly bad, hut their
handlwork has too often been coarse,
their remedies inefficient and their
execution clumsy and costly. Corpo-
rations must be hedged with restric-
items, trusts must be curbed, greed
and graft must be throttled and the
people restored to their inheritance,
But the way to do It Is not to cum
her the statute books with vague en-
actments and the expense account
with high-salaried commissioners
whose powers are problematical and
whose competency doubtful. It Is
time that men OF affairs, with a
grasp of facts and the wisdom to see
the defects as well as the advant-
ages of proposed legislation, were
offering themselves FOR the patriotic
duty Of legislating. The people can
be trusted always to sustain men in
the elections, Too long have the
public interests been made the play
things OF politicians who have
sought momentary popularity rather
than a permanent betterment of con-
ditions,-Dallas News.
The News hits the nail on the
head We want conservatism in our
legislation, sanity incur legislators.

loaded ship--it cannot sail smoothly.

According to a decision recently
handed down by the United States
circuit court OF appeals, the scheme
of a guessing contest as to the num-
Der of votes to be cast at presi-
dental election involves such an ele-
ment of chance as to be properly
classe6ed as a lottery. The court OF
appeals says that in so great vote
the necessary margin of chance
would be so large that no element OF
skill or experience could operate to
affect the result. While one skilled
IN national politics and conversant
with existing conditions might make
a closer estimate than one wholly
ignorant, yet, after all, the success
flu persons in such contest would
be but makers Of lucky guesses in
which skill and judgment could play
no effective part.

Frank A. Day, the private secre-
tary Of Governor Johnson, says that
the Bryan men are spending $4,000
a day In Minnesota in an effort to
capture the state for Bryan. Mr..
Lays reputation for truth and We
Facity has been very much impaired
since he commenced to send out his
literature attacking Bryan. Bryan
don't need Minnesota to win. If
there Is any money being spent in
that state to get Bryan delegates,
II Is contributed by friends of Bryan
in the state, who do so purely out
OF friendship for Mr.. Bryan. But
Mr., Day has no knowledge OF the
amount spent and is mercy talking
through his hat when he says they
are spending $1,000 day. The only
organized effort to influence voters
is that OF the johnson men, who have
arranged with both the Kellog COM
pany and the American Press Assoc
citation to send plate matter free to
all Democratic papers that will use
It and are flooding the country with
Johnson circulars and literature that
must run up into the tens OF thou
