THE WAGE GARNER.

L ne IIeV. 1uOIndS i. GaSSOn, 5. r., OF
Boston college, speaking of the rights
of the working man not long ago gave
Itterance to some truisms that are
well worth repeating. He said:
"The nations glory and strength
consists in the true valuation of la.
Dor. When nation despises labor
and people come to consider labor as
nonentity, decay is sure to follow.
IF labor is necessary for the con.
duct of life what should be the re-
turn for that labor? Unless the &C.
tons of employers toward their EN-.
ployes are permeated by the funda-
mental principles of Justice, we shall
certainly have an economic misunder.
standing and an economic war.
There is tendency to regard the
laboring man as machine The ma
chine gives out energy and you put a
value on it and say it is worth so
nuch to you. Following on that prin-
ciple you say the laboring man here
is machine. What does the laborer
give? Machine energy or the energy
which cannot be classified as ma
chine energy?
What man gives, if he is a true
toiler. is the best of his life's energy.
You should give him the best in re.
turn. To take from a man the cream
of his life and give him back poor
wage, is that the law of justice? You
are treating him as machine.
1.-THE great principle is in establish.
ing fair wage to the laborer. We
must give him what will support him
and his family, not on starvation
scale, but in comfort. Unless the
laborer can live in respectable sur
roundings, have nourishing food, SUD.
port his family, We are not giving him
sufficient" 80
There was a. time when the wages
of the laborer bore some relation to
the profits of his employer. The ad.
vent of machinery has done away with
that. Now the average factory worker
is simply a machine operator. The
profits accruing to the manufacturer
have been increased many fold by the
substituting Of machinery for hand
workers but the men who still con-
tlnue to give their time and energies
to their employers work for vastly de.
creased wages. If the employer re-
ceives such large increase in the
profits from his investment why is not
the wage-earner entitled to reason.
able living wage? This is an economic
question for the future to solve.

the state legislature chooses a United
States senator of it's own political
faith. In this particular instance there
has not been advanced a single OBJ
lection of serious moment against Mr..
Sheehan's candidacy. His record
bears inspection. If there was any
serious objection to his candidacy it
IS hard to understand how he Jared so
we'll in the Democratic caucus. Since
there was no valid objection based on
Mr.. Sheehan's record the Democratic
members of the legislature should
have accepted him as their candidate.
Lying beneath the surface there
seems to be a reason which explains
the situation. Mr.. Sheehan is an Irish
man and Catholic and the men who
are leading the opposition are any
thing but tolerant of Catholicity. At
this stage of our history and in a
country where freedom of worship is
the privilege of every citizen, it is
disheartening to find discrimination
of this kind operating to the defeat
of man who is unquestionably his
party's choice and as such, in accord
ance with the prevailing custom of
senatorial elections, entitled to the
office to which he is aspiring. The
object of the opposition, though the
fight is being waged on pretended
objection to Mr.. Sheehan on account
of his connection fifth corporations, is
not to defeat an undesirable candidate
but to prevent the election of a
Catholic
The present indications are that Mr..
Sheehan will lose out in the fight His
defeat is no credit to the bigoty of the
few Democratic leaders OF the oppo-
sition who are obviously suppressing
the real reason for their contest
against him.

SOCIALIST OLD AGE PENSION.

Victor l.. Berger, the first and only
Socialist ever elected to the United
States congress, is planning to have
enacted into law one of the planks of
the Socialist platform during the next
session of congress. The purpose of
the bill which Mr.. Berger will intro.
duce will be to grant to every wage
Garner over 60 years of age who has
earned less than $1,000 a year and
has been citizen of the United
States for sixteen years, a pension
amounting to $144 per year.
Mr.. Berger estimates the number
of persons who would be entitled to
pension under this law at about 1,OOO,-
900. The expense to the government
would, therefore, be approximately
$144,OOO,OO0 per year, which Mr..
Berger says would be mere bagatelle
for Uncle Sam, as compared with the
vast expenditures on the army and
navy. He cites number Of European
countries where the idea is being tried
out, among them is Germany and
France. The plan or some modifica-
tion of it is to be tried out in Den
mark, Switzerland, Norway and
Sweden.
This proposal has one feature which
cannot be disregarded-it will appeal
to the common people, Whether it
has any other feature or not for which
it can be recommended is question
able. There doubtless are many peo-
pie in the United States who deserve
such consideration at the hands of the
government and who would use the
money TO good advantage. On tho
other hand there are many who would
receive so much government money
to their own detriment. 1t would
mean simply so much more for de-
bauchery. There is no doubt but that
il such law We're enacted it would
be fruitful Of vast amount of fraud.
For the government to establish de-
partment to investigate the claims
made for pensions under this law
would in itself be a heavy expense
Such a department would have to have
offices in charge of competent men,
located in all parts OF the United
States. The expense connected with
the work of determining to whom the
pension would be awarded has not
Leen estimated. 1t would detract
from the popular appeal of the pro-
posed plan.

HOME RULE UPPERMOST.


The latest reports of the British
political situation are encouraging
The cabinet council held it's first meet
ing last week in preparation for the
most important session of parliament
that has been held for many years. AS
the crisis approaches the meaningless
threats and wild speculation of the op-
POSITION begins to subside. The up
roar in Ulster has been ridiculed into
silence and already the leaders are
driven to confess their belief in the
early passage Of an Irish home rule
bill. Lord Courtney, who opposed
Gladstone's home rule proposal has
expressed the belief that home rule
lis a thing of the immediate future.
The proposal that an Irish home rule
measure be the first business of con-
gress is rapidly growing in favor and
If the present indications are not mis-
leading, Mr.. Redmond will soon be en-
gagged in developing the details of a
measure which will give Ireland po-
litical autonomy
The people of Ireland have helped
the masses of the British people to
better government and have in turn
been helped by them. The democracy
of England is indebted to the Irish
party for many OF the reforms that
have been brought about The only
preteXt on which the reactlonary ele-
ment can oppose home rule is that OF
Catholic intolerance This has given
rise to the recent threats that eman-
ated from Ulster Mr.. Redmond in
recent letter to the press has sub
mitted figures to show the folly of the
assertion that Ulster is either Pro-
testant or anti-Nationalist He show
ed that the population is slightly more
than Al per cent Catholic, and that the
Protestant strongholds in Ulster are
confined to counties Down and Antrim
and the city Of Belfast. Moreover, 1T
the general election sixteen home
rulers were elected from Ulster con-
stituencies as against seventeen
U1nionists. These facts show how alb.
surd the Ulster talk about armed re-
sistance was. There is in reality no
Ulster question and no basis for the
objection to home rule on the ground
OF Catholic intolerance.
As. Mr.. Redmond, says the move.
ment is not sectarian but national
movement and a victory for home rule
| would not mean the defeat of the po-
litical rights of the Protestant mi
nority Again the national move
| ments OF Ireland have been led by
Professionals who were respected and
supported by the whole Catholic pop
ulation.

such straights as not to be able to

HOW THEY DIVIDE.

A peculiar difficulty is threatening
to precipitate trouble in local Metho-
dist church circles. The Hennepin
avenue church of that denomination
has been found inadequate for the
proper accommodation of its parish.
The members of the congregation are
agreed that new building is neces.
sary, but they are not on harmony
regarding the proper site for the pro.
