Having read reports that 100000 men in New
York City were out of employment a Kansas
farmer has written to a New York newspaper
declaring that work and homes will be given
these men if they will only go to Kansas. The
farmers OF Kansas are crying for help to till the
fertile fields of that State. Many of the New
York homeless are unable to go to Kansas even
il they so desired, while others prefer the pre-
carious existence in great city to life in the coun
try, where they would at least be free from the
perils of starvation.

y The American meat trust is becoming interna-
tional in its operations The trust is gradually
gaining control of the London markets, and the
English, who are heavy meat eaters, will feel the
pinch Of the combine. 1t is said that even the
daily price Of meat in London is regulated by the
'Nhieaeo packers, and when the retailers attempt
to cut prices they are boycotted by the packers.
The English have always boasted that they are
free from the domination of trusts, and it will be
interesting to note how they will deal with the
meat problem now that it has been presented so
forcby to them.

Richmond Pierson Hobson who dreams of
war between the United States and Japan should
draw comfort from the address of Justice Har-
Ian, delivered in Washington the other evening.
The justice sees peril to America in the develop
ment of China and Japan When, however. the
cost of war under modern conditions is consid-
cred, there should be no fear that any nation will
rush reolSessly into conflict that would mean
vast destruction of wealth and life

The head keeper of the New Jersey peniten-
tiary opposes capital punishment and would sub
stitute life imprisonment for the death penalty
This official dslikes to nfet the death penalty
upon criminals. New Jersey recently decided to
employ electricity instead Of hanging in capital
punishment, but the head keeper finds it Just as
hard on his conscience to send man out of this
world by electricity as by the moose The abol-
ishing Of the capital punishment plan, however,
will not make much headway in New Jersey. An
increase in capital crime in New Jersey, such as
has developed recently will cause Jersey citizens
to hesitate before adopting any suggestion to
mitigate the punishment OF nnrderers Yet there
is no reason why public executioners should not
relieve State and county officials Of INJECTING the
extreme penalty Of the law.

Since the Seaboard Air Line has been in huan-
cial difficulties it has been proposed TO cut the
salaries and wages of all employees ten per cent
The lowest paid employees naturally object to this
method. A cut OF ten per cent. in their wages
means great deal more to them than similar
reduction can mean to those who receive higher
salaries. All schemes, for instance, of an income
tax, consider the progressive income plan--that
IS, the higher the income the greater the proper
ton of tax. This principle in making wage re-
ductions affecting big railway system should be
followed if it is proposed to treat all alike The
greater the income the greater should be the per-
centage of reduction where any reduction is nee
essary.

Hughes declared that respect for the Constitution

advocated Jail penalties and not fines for those

on this course the reactionaries will have to look

DISEASE AND BAD MILK.

TT HE address Of DIR. Hiram P. Ewes at the
Il tuberculosis exhibit the other evening was.
scathng arraignment of the lawmakers OF
Delaware who have permitted this State to be
come the dumping ground for diseased cattle
from other States When the veterinarian de-
clares that from fifteen to twenty per cent OF the
COWS that supply milk to this city are diseased,
il is time for the authorities to consider seriously
legislation that will guard the people against tu-
berculosis due to contaminated milk. DR.. Ewes
makes valuable suggestions as to how the city
can protect itself against the product Of diseased
cows The present method OF inspection, he
points out, is absurd 1t is like many other So
called inspections by State or government Off
cias.
The situation is not overdrawn by DIR. Ewes.
His professional practice is large among the
dairyfnen and naturally he would not wish to-
condemn their cows unless there were good rea-
sons for such condemnation The speaker
brought out one point for the dairymen If the
people are to have good milk-niik that is free
from peril-the dairymen should be paid an ade-
quate price for their milk. Milk produced Under
ideal sanitary conditions, even fairly satisfac
tory conditions, cannot be sold at the present
prices Money saved in the purchase of bad milk
is poor economy. 1t is to be hoped that the adj
dress of Dr. Ewes will lead to some practical
method to improve the milk supply of the city.

The Technical World is a magazine
which has discovered that Americans
prefer finding out how things are done

plain the telephot vega. which is sort

tant objects as if they were near; how
gun-cotton is made and just why it does

In handy at some time.
