Grants Leap.

1t is related Of Gen. Grant that one
real record that he made for himself
at the academy, the one time that ne
excelled all his fellows, was at the
final mounted exercises of his gradual
ing class, when, riding famous horse
named York, he was called upon to
clear the leaping-bar that the gruff
old riding master had placed higher
than a mans head He dashed out
from his place, smooth-faced
slender young fellow on a powerful
chestnut sorrel, and galloped down
the opposite side of the hall, turned
and came directly at the bar, the great
horse increasing his pace as he
neared it, and then, as If he and his
rider were one, rising and clearing II
with a magnificent bound. The lear
is still recorded at the academy as
Grants upon York" When. Gran,
started out to do thing he would dc
it II it were in mans power. This was
the impression that he made upon
everybody, as ex-Secretary Welles
wrote in his interesting diary.

"swEATED LABOR" .


Our Zurich correspondent informs
US that an interesting exhibition has
been opened there demonstrating the
conditions under which the Swiss
poorer classes work and the wages
they earn, with special reference tc
the sweating" at home, says the
London Globe. These people, whc
work In their own homes, number 100,
900, three-fourths Of whom are WON
en- and children. Their earnings are
shockingly low-in some cases as III
tie as four centimes an hour are paid
to straw workers, while the average
pay in other industries is: Silk weav'
ers, seven centimes an hour; linen
weavers, II centimes; glove makers
IL centimes; wood carving, 81 cen
times; watch-makers, SO confines.
The exhibition also contains models
of the homes in which these people
work, showing the unhealthy condi'
tons and overcrowding. The pro
moters confidently expect that the ex'
hibition will stop the sweating and
put the law in motion.

to be forcibly detached by mob, or
dynamite bomb, is worth straining
yourself to get. But royal human ma
ture is such that the pretenders keep
right on pretending.

LOW CoLONIST FARES TO THE
WEST AND NORTHWEST.

Union Pacific Passenger Depart
ment announces that Colonist Fares
will be in effect from Sept. Is to Oct.
Is, 1909, to all points in the West and
Northwest.
This year the West looks more
promising than ever. Now is the time
to secure land at low prices, and, at
the same time, to visit the many inter
esting points In the West and North
west, at which liberal stopover ar
rangements may be made.
A better estimate Of raw lands can
be made now than formerly, because
these lands are in proximity to new
farms that are producing wonderful
crops.

The continental countries will soon
learn that the habit Of permitting the
unfit to cross the ocean only to be re-
turned is not sane economic policy
The trip over not only costs money but
represents loss of time to those wage
earners who are refused admission
here. The man who gives up his job
on the other side and is sent back dis
turbs labor conditions by his unex
pected temperance. Hence, 1t will
be wise for the nations across the At
lantic to do some inspecting before
opening the gates to would-be immi
grants.
