Editorial
Opinion
A Remarkable March.

Trenton Times.
The "oldost inhabitant would be COM
pei cd to rack his memory to recall a
more remarkable March than the month
which ends to-day. Weather prophets tod
us that because of the direction Of the
wind when spring opened on the 2ist we
might look for cool weather for some time
in fact. all summer. Instead there has
been no day when the thermometrlc record
made by the official observer approached
the freezing point There have been sew
cral mornings when the ground was white
with frost but at mid Gay the temperature
has ranged from 81 on the 2lst to a on the
10Th, until yesterday It went up into the
iSO,s and made medium-we,ght clothing
burdensome 20 the wearer.
! It has been a rainless month, with the
exception Of ST. Patrlck's day, when there
was rain. snow and sunshine. Unless all
signs fail. the Western b lizard will pass
us by and there will be an cary Spring"
The baclSbirds and song sparrows came
back the latter part of February, and the
robins followed on March ..

DEMocRATIc LEAGUE MEETING.

IT HE Democratic League which now has
n handsome club house as its home, cee-
brated its anniversary on Thursday evening and
the faithful of the two factions of the party
trooped TO the headquarters and heard the doc
trne expounded The League is the chief
organization of the party in the state. Demo-
Gratis who want to keep in touch with the active
workers of the party must so there or nowhere.
AS usual, the League had some speakers from
other states who were Of the radical branch Of
the party
The League has stuck pretty close TO the
Bryan lines ever since IT was founded, and This
is remarkable considering the fact that almost
all the Democratic leaders of the state are not Of
the Bryan faction. But time works changes.
Among the speakers at the celebration the other
evening were Mr.. Willard Salisbury and Mr..
Thomas f. Bayard Some years ago no meeting
of the Democratic League would have been
thought complete and proper unless Mr. ell.
Irving Handy was the star local orator. Street
and Sewer Director John G. Gray presided as a
matter of course, a recognition of the work that
he has done for the organization There were
many other lights of the party shining on the
occasion.
From present indications the League will be
the chief working organization OF the party dur
ing the campaign, but whether it will exert thc
influence that its membership should warrant
upon the nomination OF candidates is a question.
If the League had its way Democratic can
didates for the legislature would be of the pro-
gressiye Democratic type, but that faction is not
in control of the party management today In
fact many Democrats during the last campaign
refused to support Bryan for President, although
they voted for the Democratic state ticket, as
the varying figures between the count for the
state and national tickets show

TAFT AND CHANCELLOR DAY.


II HE New York Alumni Association of Syra-
4 use University had grievous disappont-
ment the other night. Invitations had been
extended to President Taft to be present, and
Chancellor Day of course was to be on hand
Mr.. Taft is fond of dining and speech-malSng
but the expected presence of Chancellor Day
was too much for the President The Chancellor
who became noted some time ago as the staunch
defender of the Standard Oil Company and the
foe Of Colonel Roosevelt, assailed Taft the other
night during a speech at Pittsburg for his
alleged use of federal patronage to sway Con
gress. Mr.. Taft then withdrew his note Of
acceptance to attend the dinner. But Chancellor
Day also failed to appear
The toast list had the following: The Uni
versity, Past, Present and Future Chancellor
James Roscoe Day, S. T. d., ID. L. c., IL. d. -
No reasonable excuse was given for the alb
sence Of the Chancellor. who keenly enjoys a
fight, but the toast-master said that he was
probably detained at the Methodist Conference
which was sitting in Newark, n. J. Perhaps he
was overcome BY the burden of carrying so
many learned degrees.

WAGES AND rHE CosT ola LIVING

WAGES AND THE COST OF LIVING
TT HE movement for increased wages IN order
Il to meet the higher cost OF living is going
forward at a lively pace. 1t is of course accom-
panied by industrial clashes conflicts between
labor and capital which arc inevitable IN our
present industrial conditions, however much
they may be deplored. The railway world has
been disturbed by these clashes, but fortunately
there have been in the east no great strikes
involving employees of the railroad companies.
By far the most notable thing in the situation
is the decision OF the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company TO increase the wages of their en-
ploves Ii is also announced that the Philadel-
phia and Reading Company will advance wages,
and the result Of the negotiations between the
Baltimore and Ohio employees and the manage
ment has been a similar increase. Thus the
railroad men in th, city share in the advances.
The Pennsylvania Company 1t is also an
nounced. will not increase its rates Tor passenger
trafhe and presumably there will be no increase
oy eitFer of the other companies mentioned.
At first notice a slight increase of the wages OF
the employees does not seem to be large matter.
Give p1an few cents more dav and that does
not look like much. But when the entire army
of employees is considered the advance in wages
aggregates huge figure and makes tormldaole
showing in the financial statements OF the COM
panies The companies must feel that the in
crease in traffic warrants them in making the
advances.
One New York newspaper in commenting on
the matter remarks that substantial justice IS
being done and that the problem of the higher
cost of living is being settled by higher wages
"In advance Of any authoritative finding from
the high cost OF living inquiries it says "a real
grievance is being righted in the rough and
ready way of our business and social tradition.
In measure this may be true, but the solution
will not be satisfactory TO most Americans. The
questions involved in the higher cost of living
are those which concern our system of produc-
ton
The question 20 be determined is whether or
not trade and production natural and un-
restricted, or whether prices arc artihcally en-
hanced Improved methods of production, the
great use of machinery and all that in a nation
like ours should tend to lower and not TO advance
prices. Commodities should be produced with
less effort and labor and in greater quantities
and. therefore be cheaper.
But the trust method of production limits the
output restricts trade STILES competition and
holds the consumer by the throat. Production
on large scale, at lower prices in a nation like
America is the natural order which the trust
method has subverted. Large production By
great combinations of capital instead of being
blessing as it should be in many instances,
has become means of expressing the consumer.
Our industries seem to be in an artificial rather
than in a natural condition.

He has large business interests in Mexico and

he is showing considerable interest in politics

usual privilege Of visiting ex-Sultan Alb
dull Hamid In his villa prison at Saloniki.
writes that he found the former ruler of
the faithful looking ten years younger
than his latest photographs and evidently
I'm splendid health. His former nervous
ness and fear Of assassination have dis
appeared entirely. but he still dreams of
returning to his old power. He sleeps
well, takes walks in the beautiful park,
accompanied by his two sons. and for
some hours every day works as an anna
teur carpenter.
He likes to have tales told him after
the manner Of the Arabian Nights, and
shows a preference for the adventures of
HOvja Vassr-Eddin, while now and then
he reads a Turkish newspaper.
In the same villa with him are living
his two sons. two daughters, and eleven
Of the women Of his former harem. The
household IS waited upon by thirteen serv-
ants. For housekeeping, the Sultan is
| allowed $1,000 Turkish a month. but
part Of It is kept back for some of
his former harem ladies who have re-
manned at Constantinople.
The villa is closely guarded inside and
out by detachment of infantry and one
OF gendaTmeS. besides a number of po-
hcemen, all commanded by officers, who
are being constantly changed. There is
telephone from the villa TO the nearest
police station and TO the headquarters OF
the third army corps. Thus it may be
assumed that the ex-Sultan's life now
passes mOnotonously and quietly enough.
The reports of his attempts at flight
were unfounded, and though II is likely
enough that he would like TO escape. II is
impossible for him 10 do so without the
assistance of his guards, who are far too
numerous and carefully selected to make
Il possible.
