shores about the time this article is
published" says the editor in a fore
word. What will he do? What will
be his attitude toward Mr.. Taft? This
is peculiarly a fitting time to take ac-
count of Taft and of his administra-
tive acts, as Mr.. Baker has done with
great care in the following article. ="
Every voter in the United States
should read what Mr. Baker says. Mr..
TAFT is weighed in a very finely adjust

Mr.. Baker leaves it TO his readers to
determine whether or not MI Taft is

The Price of Labor.

Statistics compiled by the federal
bureau of labor show that of male op-
eratives of all ages competing with
women and children in the New Eng
land cotton mills 4S.6 per cent earn
less than 81 week, and 55.5 per cent
of the women and girls earn less than
that In the southern cotton mills SOL
per cent of the female operatives earn
less than 81 week, and 74.9 per cent
of the male operatives in the same
classes of work earn less than 81.
The wages of foreign factory opera
tives are not so much less than these
that the difference in labor costs can
have much effect upon the prices of
goods, especially as in American man
ufactories there is almost invariably a
smaller number of work people in pro
portion to the amount of machinery
than there is in European establish
ments.

that by virtue of the very tariff system

masses or plain people are ever being
forced to a lower and still lower stand

Redemption of Jonathan Dolliver.

We do not wish to detract one iota
from the importance of the service
Senator Dolliver of Iowa rendered the
nation when he exposed the evils of
our system of protection.
On the other hand, we applaud his
courage in breaking away from the
gang, and his patriotism in pointing
out to the people the outrageous man
ner in which republican protection is
robbing the many for the few.
But there is a lesson in Delivers
form reversal which should receive
due consideration by the people.
Dolliver is a great orator. He has
the ability to convince people that
what he says is true. In all of the re-
cent campaigns he used this ability to
make the common people believe high
protection was a great blessing to
them.
Dolliver now stops suddenly in the
midst of his work and looks about him.
He beholds the results of his own
voice. The people are crying out at
the increased prices that have accom-
panied republican protection.
Dolliver sees that the greedy tariff

Leaders in the Young Mems Chris
tian association of Chicago have start
ed a movement that they hope will re-
suit in every boy and girl in the public
schools learning to swim. They have
offered through one of the branch as
sociations to teach all the pupils in
eight North Side schools how to take
care of themselves in the water. From
this beginning it is expected that the
instruction will be extended to all
schools. 1.-THE need for instruction in
swimming is demonstrated by the fact
that over 1900 men and boys in the
