Gratis during the past year. spurned the
of Maryland to cast his political for
tunes with the remnants of the party of
Grover Cleveland. The speech of Mr..
Rayner was delivered with mock Sc
robustness, though. of course. the in
surgents would be warmly welcomed in
the Democratic camp. The reply of
Mr.. Dolliver. however. was In deadly
earnest. He could not see what was
TO be gained by such In alliance. and
he made some telling points in relating
how the Democratic party had admin
istered the affairs of the government in
times past.

FIXING A WAGE SCALE.

The United States is not the only
country where prices have been rising
for several years past. Neither is it
the only country where the labor ques-
ton requires constant attention. The
labor problems, however, are generally
worked out by the parties most inter
ested, occasionally with the help of me-
diators and arbitrator. There has been
no attempt on the part Of either city or
state to TX the amount of wages to be
paid employees of corporations, compa-
MES and private individuals.
An attempt at that sort of thing was
recently made by the city council of
Sydney, Nova Scotia, where a resolu-
ton was passed entitled IAN act regu-
lating the rate Of wages to be paid by
corporations" The act was amended
by the addition Of three clauses and is
now in the hands Of the provincial leg
islature for final action.
The city council Of Sydney did not at
tempt to say what amount of wages
should be paid in all cases, but fixed
the minimum rate on a basis OF nine
hours day. Following is the schedule
as finally adopted:
Whereas the wages paid by Industrial
concerns in the city Of sydney is in
adequate to meet the increased cost OF
living; therefore be 1t enacted by the
gcvernor-in- council that a minimum
rate of wages obtain in the city of
Sydney, and that said minimum rate of
he nv ~if of
sydney as the fair wage schedule;
That no corporation, partnership. or
other employer OF labor in the city of
Sydney shall after the coming in force
any employee than such minimum rate
OF wages; and that an employe of anV
corporation, partnership or other en-
ployer of labor nay recover in an ac-
tion at law, as wages, a sum not less
than said minimum rate Of wages;
That the Dominion government fair
wage schedule should be applicable TO
all employers of labor throughout the
Province Of Nova Scotia.
This act shall not apply to appren-
tees or minors, or persons incapaci-
tated by age or any other physical dis
abilities from performing full days
This act shall come into force July
l. 1910.
This is taking a long step in the di-
rection of a paternalistic form of gov
eminent If the city council of Sydney,
Nova Scotia, or the provincial legis-
lature, can fix the minimum wage scale
they can also fix the maximum scale,
and all the intermediate rates to be
paid employees in all walks OF life. Pub
lie officials would be interfering with
the business of corporations. the nature
of which they did not understand.
should this resolution become a law,
and industrial paralysis result in short
order.
The intention of the city council was
doubtless good. Good intentions, how
ever. will not effect the result. Too
much law is worse than none at all.

President Roosevelt delivered his

INTENSIVE FARMING.

In These get-rioh-qutck days, pretty
much everything has been aduIterated.
foodstuffs not being excepted. The pure
food law put step to many outrageous
practices: not all. Among other things
aduIterated at the present time are
the insecticides and fungioldss, used in
the spraying of trees and the destruction
of insects On the farm and in the
orchard. There is a bill before Con-
gress to prevent further fraud in this
direction which should be passed
forthwith.
In the course Of the debate on this bill
In the House, Representative Lowden
of Illinois, after advocating the meas

sive farming, which Is impossible with

and fungicides. Science counts nova

must be depended upon If we are TO
have an increased food supply in this
country in the future
In the agricultural papers much is
said about abandoned farms In the
eastern states, of soil being worn out.
This Mr.. Lowden rightfully concludes
is because the occupants of these lands
persisted In clinging to the old meth
DDS and allowed the soil to become I'M
poverished. The Illinois congressman
said on this subject:
I'VE hear much of abandoned farms
it is said that though once productive
they are now worn out. I saw fields in
Europe last autumn which were never
more productive than now, and which
furnished food for the legions of Rome
in the early days Of the Caesars. 1t is
a shameful confession for US to make
that American lands, once fruitful
have been worn out in the comparative
ly brief time IN which they have been
cultivated.
Such a confession is eloquent of the
ignorance we have displayed in the past

valley, the greatest granary of the
world, will also be dotted with aban-
doned farms. If this bill be passed, it
will be long step toward the conser-
walton Of the soil. the greatest of all

That is the real truth of the matter
Unless the present methods are
changed, even the fertile lands of

fuse TO yield before many years. As

recalcitrant senators Stand? They are
opposed to the administration, vote
with the Democrats on pretty nearly
everything that comes up and have
been engaged in sowing the seeds OF
discord in their horne states. II they

cannot read their titles clear to places

back into the fold. That would seem
TO be the right thing 60 90. In order to
do this it would be necessary TO get

prepared 10 take this step. II not, their
political destruction is certain.
As the matter now stands. they re-

A LITTLE TOO STRONG.

DR.. Wiley, chief chemist of the de-
partment Of agriculture. is again going
to extremes. In a lecture at Cornell
university the other day Chemist Wiley
declared that one-half of the people OF
the world are suicides and that the
greater part Of the other half are muir
dered by society and the environment
in which they live.
That was pretty strong. even for DR..
Wiley. 1t is true that most people are
careless i'm health matters and that
such carelessness causes the death of
some of them; not half Of the people
of the world, by any means. It is also
true that poor sanitary conditions are
responsible for the taking off Of myri-
ads of people, but here again the doc
tor went beyond the bounds of reason
in his estimate.
1t is probable the chief chemist did
not mean to exaggerate; that he was
trying to give emphasis to his words of
warning as to the necessity of living
more simple life and keeping the
