It is conducted by the government, and
it's business will be to find work for
everybody Jobs for over million i'm
migrants from foreign lands have to he
obtained somehow every year, and
Uncle Sam proposes to take general
charge of this enormous task. But, in
addition, great numbers of native-born
American citizens are in want of suit
able or permanent occupation, and in
their behalf the federal organization in
tends to make use of all it's vast facili-
ties, with q view to enabling them to
earn a satisfactory allowance of bread
and butter. ;
1t is a very desirable to find something
for the foreigner to- do-to get him
away from the large centers of popu-
lation, where he has tendency to stag
nate and form colonies with others of
his kind, and to ship him off to some
place where his labor is really wanted,
and where he will have chance to live
and bring up his children under favor
able conditions. In a big city he dwells
in q sluln and is liable to be a nuisance,
if not a menace. Provided with means
of earning alivlihood decently elsewhere,
he will in most instances become a use
full citizen. g.
TO accomplish this very purpose the
division of information, as the new en-
ployment agency is called, has been es-
tablished as branch of the bureau of
immigration. But, as above Indicated
it's facilities will also he used to help
native-born Americans. The southern
states, for example, need labor, and
there has been a strong movement in
favor of turning the stream of aliens in
that direction. But a more mature
consideration of the subject has brought
conviction that it would be much more
desirable to send to that part of the
country the Americans who are to be
found at the present time in multitudes
elsewhere looking for a job.
With this introduction, Mr.. Bache
tells of the most important experiment
now actually in progress at Washington.
1t is something new under the armament
for a government to undertake to find
work for citizens, and the enterprise is
a world-wOrder, which is making the
antisocialists gasp

No Tax on Pianos.

France against the proposal to levy a
tax upon all owners Of pianos III that
country have had the desired result,
and for the present no further attempt
will be made to carry the suggestion
into effect. ."
The plan, as the London Telegraph
recalls, was to make every possdssor
Of a small piano pay the equivalent
Of two dollars a year, and the owners
Of grand, were to disburse, double
that amount. 1t was estimated that
the revenue from the proposed tax

known tn produce worse tune.

DISASTROUS BLAZE ON GERVAIS
STREET MONDAY EVENING.

Fire Monday evening destroyed
the foundry Of Gibbes Machinery
company. in the rear Of their ware
houses and offices on lower Gervais
street. The flames were first seen by
an cnglnee or one of the freight
tracks in the Southern yard, not far
from the warehouse, and blowing
OF whistles was heard by many
up on Main street. Just minute or
so later the dull, red glow in the sky
and the first tap of the fire bell
showed that there was serious blaze
to fight.
Ihe department responded prom
pity and did some record breaking
work. The engine from the central
station stretched about 800 feet of
hose from the corner Of Gates and
Gervais streets down to the foundry
The water pressure was excellent and
the other engines with closer cnnnec-
ton prevented spread of the flames
The foundry. however was totally
destroyed. The loss last night was
not estimated by Mr.. A. M. Gibbes
but is thought to be fully covered by
insurance. There were large number
OF patterns in the foundry destroyed
and the machinery is practically
ruined. The building was covered
with galvanized iron and this probab-
ly prevented the flames spreading
to sourronding building.
The fire attracted thousands of
people on account of the glare and
smoke and traffic was blocked on
Gervais street and on the tracks of
the Seaboard Air Line road for
about an hour.
