People who eat meat are bound to
assert their supremacy over the rest of
mankind, but they sometimes recort to
queer arguments, as witness the fol-
lowing: 'That valuable energy which
should he conserved for thinking and
doing is used by vegetarians in diges-
ton. In the meat-eater the steer
does the drudgery of vegetable diges-
ton for the man. while a vegetarian
makes of himself and his faculties a
kind OF animal"

To Distribute Labor.


| short time ago that part of the
Russell Sage fortune be employed
| to establish Sage foundation
| the proceeds from which were
to be used to better distribte
the unemployed throughout the coun-
try, the New Bedford Standard voiced
the opinion that such a movement
would not be success because the
average human being would not permit
himself to be moved very far from his
familiar haunts. The recent expert
ence of the United States government
plant go unemployed laborers from New
York to the Sandwich Islands is
promptly hailed by the Standard as a
complete justification of its stand, for
of the 60 but reached San Francisco.
The experience proves nothing. The
men doubtless knew nothing when they
agreed to go except that they We're 60
ing to get job. Before they had gone
far they were made cognizant of the
fact. without doubt, that they were
going to a land where unskilled labor
was largely Japanese and, if they had
an opportunity to read the papers, that
the Japs are just now pummelling each
other under the guise of a strike. In
other words the New York unemployed
declined to place themselves in Hawaii
with the prospect of becoming strike
breakers or tramps thousands of miles
from the mainland.
The purpose oe the proposed Sage
foundation fund was to move unem-
ployed who are kept in New York by
their condition and by their unfamil-
iarity with. the country, to points
South and West, where there is con-
slant demand for laborers. 1t was not
to take men who fled the harsh labor
conditions of Europe, from a land of
reasonably pleasant labor conditions
and set them down in a tropical land
to compete with a race whose stand
ards of living are VIGOROUSLY low.
There is always demand in
Maine for men who are willing
and able to do an honest
days work on a farm. 1t is almost
Impossible to get competent farm help.
1t is almost impossible to get compe-
tent men to work in the Maine woods
during the winter. In recent years the
operators have fallen into the way of
hiring men in droves from the en-
ployment agencies. The men say they
can do almost anything, so great is
their need of employment. They come
improperly clothed and entirely in ig-
norance of the work expected of them.
The Sage foundation was aimed to dis
tribute these men with some relation
to their fitness for the work they elect
to do. Indiscriminate shipping of men
into the woods or to any place of en-
ployment with the resultant exasper-
ating Unsatisfactory work and useless
suffering is one of the best arguments
for better organization and for just
such a work as the Sage foundation
was aimed to do

Forget I'll!

When your harvest seems all stubble,
And success a broken bubble,
Don't hold out your hands to trouble
And pet it-just forget it!
Don't be forever linking
A chain of anxious thinking,
1t will crumble in winking
If you'll let it-just forget it!
Put your failures all behind you,
They can have no strength to bind you;
Go ahead! Success will find you
If you'll let it-don't forget it!

MRS. ANGER IS
SERIOUSLY ILL

George H. Anger of No. 500 West
Eleventh street. this city, who disap-
pcared from Philadelphia several days
ago, has not yet been heard from. In
quiry was made at the Office Of his
father-in-law. Julius b. Reed. who
conducts a carpet cleaning establish
ment at No. 500 Tatnau street. and
Il was said there to-day that nothing
mad been heard from the missing man.
Anger, it is alleged, met a young
woman. Miss Susan Catterell. who
came from Preston, England. on the
steamer Haverford. at Philadelphia
several days ago. and in order to have
her admitted he is said TO have told
the government officers that he in
tended to marry her. The story got
in the newspapers and when Mrs
Anger's attention was called to It she
laughed and said it must be a joke
It is understood that she later went
TO Philadelphia with her father and
learned that the story was not hoax
but the truth.
Mrs. Anger is not possessed of a
strong constitution, and she collapsed.
II Is said to-day that she Is threat
ened with brain fever at the home Of
Mr.. and Mrs. ]. Ernest Phillips near
New Castle Or. William Werten-
baker. Of New Castle. is in attendance.
Her condition was such last night that
her father spent the entire night with
her.
II was learned that Anger about a
year ago went to Preston. England.
where his parents live, and also where
Miss Catterells home rs. His father
is superintendent of a large car shops
there. Three months ago Anger re-
turned to this country, and recently
has been employed In Philadelphia
He was formerly associated with Mr.
Reed, and when he left for England
his wife took up the office work at her
fathers place of business. Since the
disappearance Of her husband and her
subsequent attack Of illnesss she has
not been at the plant.
