Too Many Men For the Jobs

Saturday Evening Post: OF the persons, 10 years of age or
older, who received aid from organized charity In a city, during a
given year Of normal business activity, more than three-quarters
we're classed as wage-earners-that is, they were engaged in gainful
occupations, and partly selfsupporting, or self-supporting part OF
the time. But in only a little over onetenth of the cases, did the
chief wage-earner of the family have steady work, the employment
of nearly nine-tenths being described as "irreguar." To how great
la degree the cause of poverty is just plain lack of work probably
no finite mind will ever know.
A pamphlet lately issued by the Labor Department of the
State of New York shows that at the beginning of last year over a
third Of the members of reporting labor unions were idle. This
proportion declined quite steadily to the end Of November, when it
was only a fifth. Arrival and departure of aliens at the port OF
New York show for the last quarter of the year, a net inward move
ment of 49, OO-roughly, that much net addition to the crude labor
supply. against a net outward movement of nearly 5000 in the third
quarter. The destination of more than half the immigrants of the
fourth quarter was either New York or Pennsylvania-the industrial
centers. AS the pamphlet says: 1.-THE stream of immigration has
thus been very promptly affected by the gradual improvement il
trade conditions" When a hundred more jobs appeared a hundred
and two more men appeared to claim them.
The Socialists say they can cure this everlasting trouble o
there being always more men than jobs. Probably it wouldn't be
fair to reply that over 80 per cent of the immigrants of the fourth
quarter of the year came from Italy and Germany, where there is
GREAT deal more Socialism than there is here. At any rate, whoever
thinks he has discovered a cure will find listeners as long as the
trouble lasts.

Mines On the Bargain Counter

The world is full of people who are constantly looking for bar
gains in business chances; watching for unusual opportunities for
profitable investments. And there ire thousands of these chances
which do not show on the surface and which are consequently over
looked. while less attractive propositions ar taken up every day,
says the Salt Lake Mining Review.
The late financial disturbance caused a vast amount of capital
idleness in safety deposit vaults. This stored wealth is now grad
ually sitting out into active service again, and business bargains
should be in great demand.
In scanning the field for gilt-edge propositions the mining In
.dustry looms up most strongly, for the bargain counter rs piled high
with goods which have been marked down to bedrock prices and
which are fully worth 100 cents on the dollar. Conditions have
forced this cut in prices, but the goods have not deteriorated and
the real value has not deprecated a particle. Many owners OF
mining properties have been hard run during the past few years to
even retain their holdings, and they would now be willing to sell at
most reasonable figures Boom prices in mining have had their
day and it will be a long time before they even reach a half OF the
old mark. In the mining excitement of three or four years ago
fabulous prices were obtained for property which to-day can be had
for almost nothing. Some of these properties were good then, but
are still better now, and they ought to go fast.
To our personal knowledge there are several Western camps
where splendid opportunities await the man with a little ready
money. But he must know how to buy. If he desires bargains he
must play the part of a bargain seeker. A claim owner will always
try to stick the Aashy purchaser who rides up in an automobile and
leclipses the sun with his display of diamonds. But to a man
of his class, with his pack outfit and his burro, his hobnails and
flannel shirt, he will drive a close bargain and give easy terms.
So we believe that the next should prove a great year in min
ing. The wise investor will get in while the water is low and rise
with the tide. and the wise clain-owner will take a reasonable price
for his holdings. 1t is a fine chance for both to get together, and
to their mutual benefit.

Does 1t Pay to Raise Boys f?

Somebody has figured out that the average boy who is depend
emit upon his parents for q livelihood until he reaches the age OF II
years costs them $4,000. On this basis of calculation a brood, fol-
instance, of six boys, would represent an outlay of $4,000 by the
time they get away from the home roost The question arises
does it pay to raise boys and are there no other crops that would
prove more prohtabie9 If a boy turns out to be a cigarette fend
with a breath like a turkey buzzard, and a laugh that would make
the untutored donkey feel perfectly &C home in his society, with an
untrammeled and unconquerable desire to avoid work, it is safe to
say that his parents might have invested their $4,000 at a much
better advantage.
But if the boy grows up to manhood with the lesson we'll
learned that wealth and success grow only on bushes watered by
the sweat Of ones brow, the parents need not begrudge whatever
they may have spent on him, for he will be a source of increasing
pride and Joy to their hearts, and when they grow old and their
hands tremble and their legs wabble and their step is slow and fall
tering they have two strong arms to lean upon and help them over
all the rough places that lie in their twilight path.

Double Tragedy at TuSCarOra

A shooting and cutting scrape took
place at Tuscarora, Elko County, about
8 o'clock Sunday night that resulted in
the death of James Baker and Clyde
Thompson, the participants.
When the trouble started Thompson
drew a knife aud Baker told him to put
it up. Thompson did so. and at the
same time drew his gun and began
shooting. Baker grappled with him
and with his (Baker's) pocket knife cut
Thompson six times, nearly severinp
his head from the body. The men were
found in an old cellar, where they had
rolled during the fight.
The immediate cause of the fight IL
said to have been remarks made by one
against the other. growing out Of a Law
suit that occurred about a year ago.
Baker is supposed to have been q
detective in the employ of cattlemen
and Thompson was a trapper.
