THE
ON LABOR QUESTION
Labor Day

"In the sweat Of thy face shalt thou
eat bread" God 80 ordered IL in the
beginning, and this law is eoextensive
with the human race. The frst man
was subject 70 this decree, and the last
mar to inhabit the earth will likewise
feel its relentless power. All the sons
and daughters OF Adam, from the dewy
dawn of human life on down to the
final crack Of doom, have been and will
be compelled to dig and drudge. Labor
il required by the laws divine, and there
fore man Is doing the will of God when
he earns his berad In the sweat of his
face. And doing the will Of God is
no disgrace and no discredit to any
man. To work, TO labor, TO toll and
sweat is fulfilling a duty enjGined upon
every man and woman, and II every mar
woman should perform this duty the
world would be as fresh and beautiful
az on creation s morn.
But some have worked and some have
shirked, and the question Of who should
work and who might shirk has never
found solution. There has been a labor
question ever since human labor has
been offered for hire and sale. Some
men have been masters and sone have
served. Some nave been slaves and
some free, but whatever have been the
relations, there has always been an ir-
repressible conflict between the two and
eeaseless effort by the man below to
reach the plane above. The laborer
Is as old as the human race. The man
below is still looking upward as did the
is still hoping that ne may not always
have 70 serve. The rise of labor has
been slow indeed but that IL is rising and
with irresistible force is a fact that
cannot be denied. The setting apart
and the celebration of Labor Day is q
recognition of this fact, and IL is Civ,

The honest laborer is God 3 best gift "a
the world, and ON his brain and muscle
the world depends for support and sus'

prosper without the soldiers, without
the kings, the president and the poll

without the laborer.
But the laborer must be worthy OF

crtticising the Courts
Perhaps no uttersnce OF a public nan

eral attention, as those recent speeches
Of Theodore Roosevelt, in which he
sharply eriticises various actions Of the
supreme court, and in effect says that it
is high time that there was a remodel.

everyone expects Roosevelt to be theat-
rical. He has been SO all hi. life. In.
varisbly there IL a purpose and q method

difficult to see what it in in this instance.
Various members OF the supreme court
have recently 80 far forgotten them.
selves as to severely eriticise him, and
that is one thing that he can not stand,
especially since he is in the right about
il. II all started from his Omaha speech,
and there was nothing in the world in
that which was not perfectly prpoer and
amply justified. IL will be remembered
that he was speaking in answer TO u
! query as to the attitude Of the supreme
court towards the trusts, and in the
course of his remarks admitted that
the government in enforcing the Sher-
man and other acts, had been forced
to consider the court as primarily hos
tile TO any regulatory move. Perhaps
the admission Was y tactical mistake
but Teddy is not burdened with tact
and doubtless had in mind the Ameri'
can Biscuit case, and various other
cases which have occurred in the last
year or two, all of which gave abund
ant reason for his suspicion.
The truth of his inference is what
the American people have most TO do
and the equally important question ~
to whether an American citizen has a
right to question the aets Of the su
preme court, in q temperate and thought
full manner. The first need hardly BE-
debated. The latter should be, for there
has been a growing feeling for a long
time now right along the lines which
the ex.president indicated. This ha,
been stimulated by the action Of Ger
tain members Of the court, who have
had the ~effrontery to assume that theil

salary, that il is q sort OF lese males

Walters do not like the man who
tears a bill in halves and gives half
of it to the man who serves him, with
the promise that he shall have the
other half If he gives satisfaction. A
veteran waiter describes to a writer
in the New York Sun an experience
with a man who resorted to this de-
vice.
Il took pains to serve him poorly,
to show him that I did not care for
his money" said the waiter. 81 was
so careless that when he was leaving
he refused me the other half. / was
sure he was a miser, anyhow.
i pointed out to him that the piece
he had was no good to him as it was
and offered to buy it from him fol-
two dollars.
He thought deeply a minute and
declined.
Then 1 offered to sell him my hall
for three dollars. Somehow or other
this appealed to him, and he bought
1t and seemed happy.
III bet he hasn't stopped figuring
out yet, whether he won or lost. One
thing he's sure of, he didn't tip the
waiter.

According to a statement issued by
the Siemens-S chuckert Company of
Berlin, the telling of trees by means
of wires heated by electric currents,
which has been described in various
newspapers, cannot be accomplished in
a practical and economical manner, for
the following reasons: The wire, TO
cut effectively, must be very tightly
stretched and it is therefore very IL
able to rupture, in consequence of its
high temperature. The redhot wire
carbonizes the wood. and the charcoal,
if allowed to accumulate, protects the
interior parts from the heat of the
wire. In order to remove the char
coal, the wire must be roughened and
moved to and fro lengthwise, so that
the operation is still sort of saving
and the motion and roughening in
crease the liability to rupture.

Hints About the House.

Green vegetables are best cooked IN
open vessels to save the color.
To give a richer flavor to the roast,
haste. it with drippings instead of
| water.
A piece of ham bone added to vege-
table or soup stock will improve the
| flavor.
Candles will last much longer if they
are kept on ice twenty-four hours be-
| fore using.
When soaking mackerel or other salt
fish see that the skin side is placed
uppermost.
Turn the wooden chopping bowl up
side down when not in use and it will
never split.
To cure the sting OF wasp or bee,
mix common earth with water and
| apply at once.
To let vines climb up on wooden
walls will seriously damage them, as
it promotes decay.
When making sweet croquettes add
| a little sugar TO the crumbs in which
| the croquettes are to be rolled.
Stains may be removed from tinware
| by securing with common soda. then
washing thoroughly and drying.
Lemons hardened from long stand
| ing may be made disable by covering a
| few moments with boiling water.
Pans creased with butter will make
the bottom crust of pies soft and fiaky
and prevent them from being soggy.
Celery can be much improved by
soaking it for an hour in ice-cold water
| in which lemon has been squeezed
To clean a copper kettle, rub it with
powdered bath brick and parafin and
polish with dry brick dust or whiting.
To remove paint from linens rub
with turpentine, then clean with
French chalk dampened with alcohol.
Mend broken china with plaster of
paris mixed with the white of egg and
il will stand washing. This method is
suitable for articles of everyday use,
not for valuable old china.
Cream to be whipped must be one
| day old No sugar should be added
either before or after it is beaten. The
sweetening should be in the pudding
! or cake with which it is served.
All cups and jugs should occasion
| aIly be scrubbed round the handles
| with a well-soaped brush. If this is
not done they are apt to get a grimy
appearance that is anything but appe-
tiZing.
To clean and tighten cane chair seats
turn the chair upside down, and with
hot water sponge the cane work till it
is thoroughly soaked. IL the cane be
dirty use little soap Let dry in the
| air or before fire, and if the cane BE-
merely stretched--not worn-it wi
then be as good as new.
White lead makes a capital cement
| for broken cr0ckery. Paint it along
| the broken edges, then press the pieces
| together and tie them in place. Leave
the mended article to dry for two or
| three days, and when thoroughly dry
| ii will be as strong as ever, though
| perhaps not so ornamental.

Bran with Alfalfa for Cows.

ter. The several feedstuffs were fig
ured at the same price per pound, ex.
cepting the wheat bran and alfalfa:
the former cost S22 and the latter $50
a ton in the market. On this basis
the alfalfa ration would increase the
cost of milk and butter some 8 per
cent. If the bran and alfalfa were
figured at the same price per ton the
food cost of the product would vary
very slightly. Owing to the excess of
fertilizer ingredients, especially nitro
gen, in the wheat bran, the bran ra.
ton would furnish somewhat richer
manure. This fact should not be en-
tirely lost sight of in comparing the
merits of the two feeds.

The Simplicity

The Overlands operate By pedal
control, so the hands have nothing to
do but steer. One goes forward or
backward, fast or slow, simply by
pushing pedals. A child can master
the car in ten minutes.
The Overlands are free from COM
plexiticS. A novice can run them and
care for them. One of these cars has
run 1000 miles without stopping the
engine.
In the Government Postal Service
Overlands have run 20 miles day
for year and half without missing
a trip.
They are as faithful as watches. A
man who knows nothing about ma
chinery can run an Overland thou
sand miles and back.

Dnirying.

Dairying in Holland is the principal
occupation. The land is worth from
$500 to $1,000 an acre, yet the people
pay their rents or interest on the in.
vestment by producing butter and
cheese, which they place on the Euro
pean market in successful competition
with that produced in America on
land OF less than one-fifth value. The
secret is-eficient cows, excellent care,
cooperation and superiority of butter
