American and England than any

COIN FOR FRANCE.
1T is not always realized what a
valuable asset the American and
English automobilist is to France.
The average automobilist remains
one month. The American rarely
stops less than six weeks, while the
Englishman is satisfied to run
over for a much shorter period.
The minimum expenditure of a
party of touring automobilists is SO
francs a day for each person, that
sum representing hotel accommo-
dations, food, upkeep of the auto
mobile and incidentals, but ignoring
amounts spent on works of art,
presents and other items. In view
of such a train of gold the pro-
posal of the French government to
impose a tax on visiting automobile
lists appears to be unsound policy.
The extent of this movement is
shown by the fact that three lead
ing factories have opened Paris
touring bureau in the last two
years. H. D. Wilson, the head of
the Packard Motor Car Co.'S paris
office, says that from January ] to
September 80 he was in touch with
more than 200 Packard touring par
ties, and expected to have q total of
ESQ at the end of the year. The
actual number is doubtless greater
than this explained Mr. Wilson,
for although I am supposed to be
advised of all Packard machines
coming to Europe, many owners
slip away without giving us any in
timation of their presence"

Distributing Labor.

II is easy TO sympathize with the dis
appointment Of Commissioner General
Keefe. OF the Bureau Of Immigration.
over the summary dismissal OF his rec
'ommendation TO curtail the utility Of the
new division OF the Department OF Com
merce FOR the distribution OF immigrants.
The Commissioner General Is essentially
labor man. in touch with the wishes of
the labor leaders. and in his recommenda-
tion evidently desirous Of serving them.
He was, for some years. the head OF the
longsboremen's union. ana has always
been a labor union man. His recon-
mendation was. perhaps. a logical out
growth Of his training and experience.
The new division Of the Department Of
Commerce and Labor was designed ex-
pressly 70 facilitate the proper distribu-
ton Of immigrants; to prevent their mass
ing in useless crowdS IN already over
crowded coast cities. and to send them
along where their labor was needed to add
TO the nations growth and prosperity.

Advice to One Husband.

There is a young husband IN PhiadeI-
phia, who was formerly single and an
evangelist. who is IN domestic trouble.
He complains 10 a magistrate that he is
awakened from troubled sleep at a. m.
to find his wife and the boarder. who is
ffty-six. kneeling at his bedside and pray
ing vociferously and enthusiastically that
he be sanctifed. He AYERS that theologic-
ally he is in no need Of conversion. while
morally his works justify his faith.
Perhaps # is no wonder that the lower
bench OF Philadelphia was so perplexed
by the spectacle of a case Of concrete
domestic infelicity. apparently arising out
Of distractions Of theology. that the
magistrate dismissed the case. But he
might have added a few words OF ad-
mouition, Of which this particular young
husband seems sadly IN need. Possibly
he might have found relief by getting on
his own knees. recalling his evangelistic
training. and outpraying his overanxious
disturbers OF nocturnal peace and slum-
Der. or he might persist IN silent suffer
ing with the endurance Of a martyr until
his troublers grew weary Of efforts both
vain and needless.
But there is another and better way
that might have been suggested by the
court, even In the City OF Brotherly Love.
Did neither this honorable Judge nor
this all too patient husband ever hear OF
athletic Christianity? The Scriptural in
Junction about turning the other cheek
doubtless has its worthy applications. but
most believers IN the dignity OF man
hood must recall with appreclative ap-
proval the tale Of the young clergyman
who literally obeyed that command. but
who. after meekly receiving the two
slaps turned about and thrashed the as
sailant until he howled for mercy. II
seems that there was a preacher prob
ably capable OF winning converts.
That Philadelphia husband suffers from
pusillanimity. His remedy IS plain. He
should leap out Of bed. make the boarder
intimately and bloodily acquainted with
the power OF his fist. and then kick him
out Of doors. The wife would probably
discover suddenly and convincingly the
claims Of domestic duty. The exercise OF
energy so appropriate would perhaps IN
crease the husbands earning capacity to
such a degree that the income from a
boarder would be superfiuous II might
also stimulate his self-respect 10 the point
where he would feel himself worthy 10

curious and highly significant points. On
the face Of It the negro fireman wins
on practically every contention set up
against him; actually. his victory may
prove to have been a Pyrrhic victory
only and tend largely 10 his ultimate
undolng.
The board declined to agree that white
firemen should have seniority over ne
groes, save on merit alone-the vital
point in the case-but It did agree that
the negro hremen should have a wage
scale equaling the white scale. This
appears TO be fair enough. The negro
has been taken care of. legally and
equitably. To have rendered any other
decision would leave him utterly out
in the cold-apparently. As a matter OF
fact, however, 1t eIeverIy shifts RESPONSE
bility for the negro entirely onto the
shoulders Of the Georgia Railroad. and
puts It up TO that concern to say whether.

job that the white man wants.
The white hremen have declared that
the real reason the railroad EMPLOYS
negro fremen in preference TO white FIRE
men is because the negro is 70 be had
cheaper; that the road. pay being equal,
would long ago have substituted white
fremen for black Of its own free will
and accord. II that be so, the victory
OF the negro in this case becomes a
grave menace 10 his future: and the
white fireman has. by technically losing
