A WORD WITH EMPLOYER. >

Honolulu, T. H., March "a, 1909.
Editor Advertiser: In yesterday

communication, signed by Employ

about teachers When reading il, |
could not, for the life Of me, have
gunption enough to know whether the
writer was in lest or in earnest. If
he intended it as sarcasm, he is cef-
tainly clever. He has used his jesting
phrase with the appearance of earnest
ness. At the risk of being laughed at,
I shall treat the communication as if
it were in earnest.
If he be in earnest, his economic
ideas are of long, by-gone age, and
his moral ideas belong to the age OF
savagery Might I ask the writer, if
earnest. does he care how his horse
lives. or his OK lives. or his dog lives.

very much even how their slaves lived.
When he asks the question, - Who ever
heard Of an employer caring how the
emplove may manage TO live?' he
strikes at the very root of things. The
bitter cry of children may answer his
question. When factory production
began in England. more than a hun
dred years ago, the same question was
asked The greed of man at that time
worked women and children at the
tender age of SIX and eight years, four
teen hours a day. doing infinite dam
age to future generations. That sys-
tenn has cost England dear in the de-
generacv of her population. The en-
lightened philanthropist of England
began TO care how their employees
lived. and il has taken three hundred

at least, it is so said in the immortal
Declaration of Independence. A gov
eminent is established to give all an

of all. The great Lincoln said that
the Republican party believed in the
man and in the dollar, but in any con-
fiict between the man and the dollar,
it believed in the man.
Again, he says, The prices of these
things, like all others, are regulated
by the law of supply and demand, and
if the present force viii not do the
work for the prices offered, there are
others in abundance who will be only

A friend asked the question not
long since why the Mississippi De-
partment of Agriculture and Com
merce paid so much attention to the
small or secondary crops. The rea-
son is simple. A great number of
workers in the state are devoting
practically their entire time to the
principal crops, cotton and corn,
while the little crops are too often
lost sight of. The secondary crops
are deserving of attention. for
If q man raises them to the amount
of hundred or two dollars per an
mum, 1t is just as much added as ii
his cotton and corn crop had been
increased that much. While the old
aidage of take care Of the little
things and the big ones will take
many a dollar that would otherwise
ly true with reference to the farm.
there is something in 1t at least.

Gently sold $4,000 bales for thirty
cents per pound. A Mobile firm was

1t was a powerful argument in favor
of pooling and selling in lump, or
when the market demanded it, just
what the Farmers Union is endeav-

houses and holding the cotton crop.
