AS TO PAY DAYS.

Announcement is made that the state
labor commissioner is arranging to
have a case brought in court to test
the validity of a statute passed by a
legislature some 16 years ago which
provides that all private corporations
doing business in the state, except
steam railroad companies and corpora
lions engaged in the production of farm
and dairy products. shall pay their en-
ployes the wages they have earned
weekly, and on a day not later than
Friday of each week. This law has
been to all intents and purposes dead
letter ever since it was enacted as no
attempt has ever been made to enforce
it. Why no attempt has been made
to enforce this law is not known but
probably it is because of it's unreason-
able character. 1t is evidently a piece
Of legislation that was passed in haste
and to satisfy the demands of some
theorists and it is not plain what bene-
fits can be accomplished by it's resur-
rection from among the many dead
laws on the statute books. Perhaps the
statute is not unconstitutional and that
the courts will so hold but it is an I'M
necessary law at its best or worst.
Employers and employees usually ar
range about pay days to suit each 9TH
er's convenience. though generally it is
the employers convenience that makes
the decision. But there is nothing to
be gained by the employee if his employ
er is compelled to pay him weekly. In
fact he will not find himself as we'll off
in the long run under such conditions
as he will if his pay is handed to him
every two weeks. There is a question
though, as to whether or not an employe
should be compelled to wait a whole
month between pay days. 1t is the
opinion of sociologists who have given
this matter study that this is too long
time to compel wage workers to la
Dor without pay. 1t is custom which
is not followed to any extent except by
the larger corporations, notably the
railroads. In New York state recently
the public service commission promul-
gated an order directing the railroads
in that state to pay their employees
twice a month and this order is now
being obeyed.
But there is no good reason why cor
porations and other employers should
be compelled to pay their help oftener
than this and as intimated there are
many good reasons why it is beneficial
to employees to not get their pay any
more frequently. When a man is paid
by the week there is the necessity for
him to save a little for the monthly
rent, to save few little sums for this
and for that purpose and with this
money always in hand. as really few
wage workers keep accounts in banks
of exchange. opportunities and tempta-
tions are always coming to the front
whereby this money in greater or less
sums is dribbled away. Then when
rent time comes around and other bills

BIBLE FAMILIARITY.

DIR. Samuel Parkes Cadman, the
distinguished divine who is pastor OF
the Central Congregational church, in
Brooklyn. delivered an address re-
Gently in which he declared that in
England, despite London's sodden
spots of sin, there was a wider know
ledge OF the Bible than in America.
Even the man in the saloon there. 81
he said, among other things, lis a
good Bible student, and the Scotch
many, though drunk, can at any time
give strong exegesis''
This statement of Dr. Cadman's is
in all likelihood a most tenable one
although it is a decided reflection and
an unpleasant commentary on the in
telligence of the people of this coun-
try. II there is any book that has
been published to the world which
can be read, re-read and studied with
profit by all it is the Bible. One does
not have to be a religious enthusiast,
high or low churchman, a believer
in this creed or in that. which gets its
origin in the book of t1,oks, to be a
student of it with advantage to him
self One does not even have to be-
heve in its many and varied teachings
W OVNOihO WITH them TO MS
own great gain, although it is not
possible that anyone has followed the
Biblical precepts and teachings to his
disadvantage
To the devout Christian, to the
scholar and the student and even to
the agnostic, does the Bible present
fruitful fields for study snd for inter
esting research. Within it's covers
are the greatest stories of human life
that have ever been unfolded. Its
philosophy is superb and expressed
with simplicity of language that
makes it readily understandable In
most instances. In many of its stor-
les are depicted every possible phase
of human passions and emotions. And
its stories never grow old. They are
as interesting to the thoughtful on
their tenth reading as on their first
and more so for ever is something
new being found in them. 1t fairly
teens with historical interest of
things which belong to the dim. dis
tant past 1t tells of the strange
races and their customs of bygone
days. In fact it is replete with all
sorts of treasure of learning and in
terest.
No man, or woman, or even child
who is old enough to appreciate the
things of life can find a better me-
dunn for instructive. recreation than
in the pursuit of a careful reading
and study of the Bible from one end
to the other. Such a study is an edu-
cation in itself and everybody will be
better for the attention he has paid
to It, And this cannot be realized by
the people of this or any other coun-
try any too soon.

A MORE SENSIBLE VIEW.
Mrs. George CORVALLIS West, who
is the leading light in London society,
Is out with criticism Of the recent
interview in which Mrs. VIM. Astor
told OF New York society, and how
1t was necessary for it to be more
exclusive than society in the British
capital. The statement of Mrs. Corn
wallis-West makes it apparent that
American society could learn some
thing of common sense from the Brit
ish article, and also enhance itself in
the good graces of the great mass Of
ana many or whom have no time or
desire to enter it. In her interview,
Mrs Aston made it plain that clothes,
and money, and conventional manners,
are the important assets of those who
would break into New York's exclusive
sets. Great Britain is a land where
class distinction is supposed to be more
marked than in this country; land
where royalty. and nobility, and aris-
tocracy, have their place. but, accord
ing to London's social head. no gilded
key is required to unlock the portals Of
the chosen few: to have brains is
enough; to be interesting and worth
while. Such men and women, the wri-
ter says, may enter circles where rich
fools and dull duchesses knock in vain.
Such a standard is more in keeping
with the democratic principles upon
which this country is founded, but one
doesn't need to know New York to
know the rule doesn't apply to the
American social fabric; the money and
manners standard may be met in Pitts
burg, or Omaha, or Pana, Ill, or near
ly anywhere you lay your finger on the
map-Atohfson Globe. --tss-.-
