that now rules the world. Capital ism has to have scape- goat and then there's national election com ing on, and the workers must be put into the proper state of mind so as to yield up the usual number of capital ist votes!
 And there are cases where the mo- tive of giving low wages and exactinng rigorous service out of the workers is beyond question-at least one can draw his or her own conclusions We remember a case in point, in which several years ago labor union walking delegate and a committee from the central labor body in Mil waukee called on a certain baker boss who was paying his baker journey man something like S9 a week and make him work seven days in the week. "I look out for my baker, '' he said loftily. eff he had his Satur- day nights off he would go and blow all his money!' Who could question the foresight of tht kindhearted boss in keeping his employe at work to save him from temptation, and in keeping his wages down so that there would not be much to blow in case did over come the poor drudges resistance!

GOOD CHEER FOR PAUPERs.
Remembered at Almshouse, But Jail
Inmates Know No Change.

The happiest lot of old men in the Dis
trict today was the collection of venerable
negroes-veritable reminders or slavery
days-in the institution across the East
ern branch known as the Old Mems
Home
"Uncles'' whose ages range from three
score to over the century mark are from
all the states of Dixie, and "befo de
wah' were workers in the cotton and
corn fields of the sunny southland. Now,
as they near the sunset of life. the Dis
trict government is taking care OF these
black men of a former century In the
asylum near the almshouse.
The old men were given pipes and TO-
bacco and a special Christmas dinner.
There were some callers who carried
cheer 10 them in the shape of food and
clothing and delicacieS.
Inmates of the District almshouse were
also provided with Christmas dinners.
Friends called upon them to say cheer
ing word and leave tokens of the holiday
season.
Roast pork and mince pie were on the
menu at the workhouse today. Prisoners
in stripes were allowed to receive their
relatives and friends and to accept from
them such delicacies as they brought, In
Guiding tobacco and pipes-considered real
delicatessen by the men behind the bars.
Out in the gray and grim old Jail there
penal institution is perhaps the most un-
sentimental place in the ten-mile square
of the District of Columbia. There was
no turkey on the Christmas bill of fare,
unless it was in special cases where
friends carried portions OF the seasonal
fowl to the inmates.
There is a set menu for the whole year
around at the Jail. No exception Is made
OF Christmas, the Fourth of July or any
other holiday.
The prisoners were given the privilege
by Warden Mckee of participating in a
religious Christmas eve service last night
in the rotunda of the jail. Some took adj
vantage of the occasion to secure a tenn
porary respite from the close confinement
in their little cells Of steel.
The death watch In murderer's row was
vigilant last night In guarding the cells
of Holmes and Gregory, awaiting SEN
fences Of death. Today these two men
had extra fare provided by friends on the
outside.
Instead Of the Christmas spirit in the
grim Jail. there was written on the faces
of the prisoners and in the very air OF the
prison house the words: THE way Of the
&c hard
