aches and pains all the time and I'M

Think OF him having TO face 20 or 30
years of II, and all because OF what?
Because OF just a few extra dollars
added to the profits OF the employer
or a few extra dollars saved TO the
consumer of the goods she has helped
TO make!
You see that sort OF thing is
waste: il is eating up capital. For
health and vitality are capital to the
laborer. When a person is worn out
society says. We feel that we are
Obliged to take this burden on our
shoulders and see that nobody actual
ly starves.' and so, whatever human
wreckage is created by this excessive
haste and excessive hours OF industry
Is not borne by the industry that Gre
ated It. but is just handed over on TO
the broad shoulders OF society-for
the sake of pennies creating burdens
that will cost dollars.
You cannot count on curing this
situation by appealing to the human
ity OF the employers. II the particu-
lar employer is monopolist, or has
some advantage over all his competi-
tors. then you can work upon his hui
manity. and If he chooses to give
good conditions 10 those girls he can
do so But where you have lively com
petition, the humane employer Is
obliged to conform to the practice oil
his competitors II there Is one who
hates TO keep the girls after 8. or on
Sunday. or TO work them beyond their
strength, say. in the laundry. neverthe
less the price of laundering is dicta
ted by the cost OF IL in other iaundries
where all these things are done, and
he is Obliged to conform in order to
get the business. The great law In
business competition is that the plane
of practice will be determined by what
the least scrupulous man who succeeds
in business is willing to adopt. That
determines the plane to which the rest
are obliged to approximate. Then the
question arises, Can't you get the EN-

ployers as body to change condi-
tions?' That is frail reed to lean
on. You may get most OF them TO
agree that the pace Is too great which
they are inficting upon these young
women. and yet IL one man In ten
does not look at II that way and per
sists in the old methods with his help,
the other nine-tenths OF the employers
will be helpless. They cannot coerce
him. He can oblige them to conform to
him. but they cannot oblige him to
conform to them. What, then. have

so that destruction OF vitality and
stamina would be the exception. would
be an occasional occurrence, and not
so frequent as to be alarming? What
would occur? Would anything hap
pen? Would the lynchpins Of indus
try fall out? Would things go to
smash? Not at all. One OF two
things would happen. In industries
which are monopolies there would be
less profit for employers. In the in
dustries which are not monopoiies the
consumers would have TO pay a little
more. We as consumers are having
brought into our lives things to which
we have no right. We have no right
to have artificial flowers at the price
we get them; we have no right to get
our laundry done SO cheaply as 1t Of
ten is: we have no right to anything

The Passing of White Pine.

In this land of hustlers white pine
Is not well thought Of in a mans make
up, but there is no discounting it's i'm
portance and value in the forests. The
position which the United States has
held as lumber producing nation
has perhaps been due more to white
pine than to any other wood. The
timber of this valuable tree. which has
played most important part in the
material development Of the nation, is
fast disappearing, and now it is as
costly as the finest AmericaA hard
woods.
Rev. Edward Everett Hale, the chap
lain of the senate, who has always
taken an interest in forestry, deplores
the passing of white pine as our fore
most wood and tells how in his own
lifetime he has seen the day when ''the
masts of every vessel that sailed the
seven seas were made from New Eng
land grown pine, while today very lit
tie white pine is cut in New England
big enough to furnish a good sized
SPAR" He tells also, to illustrate the
increasing cost Of the wood, that he
ordered a set Of bookshelves on which
the cabinetmaker made a price and
then asked whether they should be OF
mahogany or white pine.
An idea Of the increasing scarcity Of
white pine timber is given by recent
New York quotations on a basis Of
carload lots. "Uppers" Of the best
grade cost $97 to STA a thousand
board feet, and the selects" or next
lower grade cost $3.50 to $99.50 Men
who are not yet middle aged remember
the time when these grades could be
purchased at SIS to $50 a thousand
feet. The present quotations ON quar-
tered white oak, which are $75 to $50,
offer another basis of comparison
which indicates the condition of the
market for white pine.
At the present rate of cutting the
tree will soon be practically thing Of
the past. The small stands in the na-
tional forests are inconsiderable, but
they will be managed with the great
est conservatism by the government
through the Forest Service. and through
this method and practice of reforestra-
ton it may be hoped that the fine old
tree will furnish timber for other gen.
erattons.

ElOpements TaboOed.

After Easter, 1908, members OF
the Church of Rome cannot elope,
marry and have their union recog-
niZed by the church.
Marriages contracted before the
civil authorities never were favored
by the church, and the clergy has
for long time been up in arms
against such marriages, although
their legality was never disputed.
A recent encyclical from Rome.
and which will go into effect after
Easter, brands as null and void, in
the eyes of the church, any marriage
that is not celebrated in the presence
of duly qualified priest and two
witnesses. The same is true of any
marriage in which either of the par
ties is or has been a Catholic.-Olym-
pia News.

Another Tichborne Case.

The remarkable BRUCE Portland case
in England would create more Of SEN
sation than 1t has but for its similarity
to the celebrated Tichborne claim Of a
generation ago. An impostor attempt
ed back in the seventies to palm him
self Off as the son and heir of the de-
ceased head Of the house of Tichborne,
and vast estate was involved. The
spurious Tichborne sold bonds payable
ON the recovery Of the estate. After
expanding a large amount Of money
the claimant landed in prison.
The Druce-P Portland case turns on the
alleged double life Of the fifth Duke Of
Portland, who in his proper character
lived as a recluse in his London man.
sion. The duke died childless, leaving
his title and fortune which now
yields an income of $1,500,0O0 a year
to distant relatives. The claimant,
Druce, alleges that the duke adopted
a disguise and for years kept retail
shop in London, where he passed as
Thomas bruce. In this character he
married, and grandson of that
Thomas Druce," whoever he was, is
after the Portland estates. As in the
'Tichborne case, the claimant is able to
raise money by the sale of shares In
the venture.
