influence for good, but none can say that this or that creed is best, or even that the man without religion is necessarily unsuited to discharge large responsibilities faithfully. Most of the recent presidents have made little or no pretensiOn to orthodox belief. with the exception, or course, of William Mckinley. who was a de voat Christian. Even President Roosc- welt is inclined to practice his rcli- zion rather perfunctorily, although of ten appearing ill pulpits for the de- livery of Hay sermons" And there need be no worry that MT. Taft will be swayed from his duty ill any di- rection by religious prejudice. The trouble with most of these pious zea- lots is that they are unable to diff ferentiate between religion and mor- ality. While religion and morality are usually closely identified, and the for mer is impossible without the latter, the latter may be quite Independent of the former.

Mrs. Temples Telegram
 Pleased Last Night

Mrs Temples Telegram alliteI- atively attractive and likewise anus ing, was presented to an appreciative audience at the Elks Theater last night. The show was offered Pine Bluff theatergoers by James B. Del cher, who brought that charming act ress, Helen Grantley, to Pine Bluff on many former occasions.

-------.------O7 sC|----------~-~-- THE RACE BETWEEN WAGES AND THE COST OF LIVING.

When the nations prosperity was the flood last year assertions were current that the increase in wage rates was tagging behind the increas se in cost of living, and now these ru- mors are verified by the Bureau Of Labor statistics for 1097. Nhl.c these definite figures are eXtremeiy interesting in themselves, they would be vastly more so if the correspond ing statistics for 1908 were available for purpose of comparison. Nineteen hundred and eight being panic year, however, the figures, if available, would be abnormal, and it may be as stunned that when conditions have be- come readjusted the tendencies re- vealed From the bureau bulletin we learn that the wages per hour Ill the principal manufacturing and me- chanical industries of the Gnised States during 1907 averaged 3.7 per cent. higher than in 1906, while the retail prices ofSfood showed an aver age increase of 4.2 per cent. for the same period. That is to say, the pur- chasing power of an hours wages, as measured by food, was one-haf Of one per cent. less in 1907 than in 1906
 The retail prices of food are taken as an index to the cost of living be- cause nearly half the money spent for all purposes by q workingman's fam ily is spent for food. These figures do not apply to salaried employees in any industry.
 Perhaps fairer idea of where tAe wage~oarner stood in 1907 Is given oy a comparison between the figures for that year and the averages for the ten yeors from 1890 to 1899. In tne same bulletin we read: As com pared in each case with the average for the wears from 1890 to 1899 tho average wages per hour in 1907 were 2S.S per cent higher, the number of emnloyes in the establishments inVes- tieated was 4i3 per cent greater, and the average hours of labor per week were , per cent lower" The price of food for 1907 was 20 per cent, high CT than the average for the ten-ye&r period. Thus the purchasing powet of an hours wages iR l9o7. &s meas ured in the purchase of food, was G.S per ecnt. above the average for the decades compared.
 The comparison between 1908 and 1907 covers forty-one industries. Of which all but one show an increase in wages per hour,

not invaded, perhaps opinion might
be agitated in our favor, and the in
vaSiOn avoided. l continue this letter
over today, June s Possibly. If we
commence an agitation against the
gTingo' invasion before such an inva-
sion is ordered, or before Roosevelt
takes the first steps toward putting
it into effect, what we would arrive at
might be their conviction of our i'm
pOtenCe. and then even if they had
not thought of interfering, they might
do so, convinced of our powerless-
ness.
American Invasion Inevitable.
After all. the 'gringOs', sooner or
later, must throw themselves upon US
in order to secure possession of Low
er California, which property they
cOvet, for better or for worse. In
Mexico at the present time there is
a tremendous 'anti-gringO' movement,
and although the government of the
traitor is accused of cOwardice, the
mere threat of Roosevelt to invade us
would be enough to augment our
ranks, with the result of finishing so
much more quickly with the traitor
government, and if the 'gTingO' should
invade us anyway he would have to
contend with a people highly excited
by the Yankee abuses. and in com
pIete nervous tension on account of
the revolution.
Some time the 'gringos' will have
TO attack us so that if it be when the
people are in rebellion against DIaz,
it will pTecipitate the fall of the die
tator. because the people will see
Roosevelt clearly as allied with Diaz
to enslave US, to lose Us our auton0-
my.
"Of course. once the revolution is
commenced, if there is danger Of in
