COLD STORAGE REGULATION.

The Mayors veto Of the proposed CT
dinance requiring all fOOdstuffs placed
in cold storage TO be marked with tn"
date of deposit is varlously regarded
but il seems probable that, upon the
whole. it will be approved by thoughtful
public sentiment. There can he no queS-
ton that the cold storage system IS
within proper limits an exceedingly
useful thing for the conservation 0f food
supplies and the economical distribution
CF them in point of time to consumers
Neither can there be any question that,
like other good things. il Is susceptible
OF mischieyouS abuse. The logical con
cllsion. therefore, is that Il should bo
subjected to control which. while not
interfering with its beneflcent operation,
will prevent abuse of ii. Action is al
ready being taken in court 10 abate
alleged abuses of one kind-IO wit. the
Use of the system to manipulate prices.
The abuse under present consideration,
which the vetoed ordinance was in
tended tC abatc. is that of storing food
too long. until il becomes unfit for con
sumption.
The purpose of The ordinance was
good. but it may be questioned whether
il could have been achieved in that way.
An arbitrary time limit TO the storage
of food is by no means infallibic. In
some circumstances it is conceivable
that articles might be stored for Il year
OF more and still be perfectly sweet and
edible, while in other circumstances
articles which had been stored only
few days might bc wholly unfit for use
That is, 10 our mind. the chief argIl-
ment against the time limit system, or
at any rate, against placing entire re-
lance upon IT,. The matter Of popular
prejudice may be- dismissed more
lightly. though it would probably be a
serious Cne 10 the storage warehouses.
People would probably refuse to pur-
chase articles which were seen to have
been III storage for 4 considerable time,
though in fact they might be perfectly
good, and might prefer frcsher articles
of actually not so good quality. But
laws and ordinances cannot always take
popular prejudices into account.

that the determination Of that is the

we think there will he pretty general
agreement with him. The efficient per-

ENFORCING THE EXCISE LAW.

ENFORCING THE EXCISE LAW
II rs not by any means clear that an
army Of agents would be necessary 80
enable the State Department OF Excise
to enforce the liquor law in this city.
The number Of saloons is very large but
il would not be necessary TO watch
every one Of them every Sunday or
every night after closing hours to sec
that the law was not violated. If the
penalty is only the arrest of the bar
tender who il certain to be discharged
by a magistrate or 10y a jury in General

no chance would he taken if If were in

If it were known that ten or n dozen

that every Sunday several saloons were

to get it, or that if he gets it it will be worth
following. But find that the mere stating
of difficulty helps to show the way out OF
it, and that in trying to make some one else
understand all the details of the situation
ard what it is that l wish to do with it l
usually find for myself wherein the trouble
lies, and am thus enabled to put my finger
under the weak spot and lift it out.
And finally let the dramatist realize that,
after all, plays are not written. They
are built upon the stage, line by line and
scene by scene. The finished manuscript of
the finest play of the season can serve only
as a starting point, foundation on which
the real drama as seen by the audience is
built. With this as basis, the author, the
stage manager, and the actor must fight it
out among them. The greater strength
there is to the original version, the closer the
finished production will adhere to it.
And this is why it is SO important that the
dramatist should turn out finely woven,
closely connected, dramatically true piece
of work; so that in its passage through that
grueling mill known as production it will
not be shorn of those tabs and earmarks that
have endeared it to its maker. Only in this
way can the author maintain his own in the
ever present fight with that couple whom
every playwright seems to regard as his
anciently intrenched enemies-the stage di-
rector, and the producing manager who pre-
sents his play.

THE LABORER'S HIRE

A LABORER must earn enough to sup
a port himself and his family; therefore,
a closely accurate idea of the living expenses
in various countries can be gained from a
knowledge of the average wages paid a
laborer in each.
The American laborer is the capitalist of
the labor world, receiving in the United
States an average of one dollar and eighty
FIVE cents day. The next highest average
is found in Australia, where one dollar and
sixty cents is paid. In Canada and the prov
inces a dollar and ten cents is the average.
Only in these countries does the average
wage amount to dollar a day.
Brazil and Chile each average eighty
cents day. In Great Britain and Ireland it
is seventy cents; in France and Central
Europe, sixty-fve cents; in Germany, fifty
FIVE cents; and in Austria Hungary, forty
cents. The laborers of Spain and Portugal
earn only thirty-fve cents asday; while those
of Italy and Malta must be content with
twenty-five cents. In the Chinese Empire
the average is twenty cents, and in Japan it
is lowest of all, only fifteen cents day.
Logically. one should be able to live as
we'll in Italy on an income of four hundred
dollars a year as in the United States on
twenty-eight hundred dollars. and if man
in Japan should receive the American wage,
he should be able to get along as well as the
American whose annual income is five thou
sand dollars.
