Equal Pay for Equal Work.

Sidney Webb presided at a nation
al conference organized by the joint
committee of the Independent Labor
party and of the Fabyan Society in
connection with the "War Against
Poverty campaign, which has held in
the Memorial hall. Harrington street,
writes a London contributor to the
Monitor. The government depart
ment was, he said doing al It could
to prevent the great mass Of unem-
ployment and much had already been
done 10 alleviate the condition Of the
unemployed, but nothing to prevent
unemployment
Mr. Mallon moved a resolution urg-
ing the government to introduce legis-
lation next session for the establish
ment of a legal minimum wage in ag-
riculture and all industries, to which
a rider was added to urge on the la
Dor party in the house of commons
the immediate necessity of promoting
such legislation. Another rider was
added to the original resolution on
the principle of equal pay for equal
work regardless of the sex of the
worker"
The idea of employing women at
a cheaper rate is, Mr. Pearce said,
a tremendous weapon in the hands of
the employer. The resolution and the
riders were carried.
In the course of a namusing speech
Bernard Shaw made many thrusts
| against the various social evils and
inequalities and concluded his re-
marks by saying that he had heard
it asked, Why do you not turn out
| the government? The answer to
which was that that meeting had not
the power to turn out even an inter
rupter, let alone the government.

Lazy Brains The Trouble.

Sometimes one hears it said that
Southern farmers are lazy, but the
Progressive Farmer, one of the best
and most wide-awake agricultural
papers published, is of the opinion
that the trouble is the majority of
them are not One-half as lazy as
they should be. 1t says:
They will insist on doing twice as
much walking as is necessary in
cultivating most of their crops. The
Yankee farmer gets astride a riding
cultivator and cultivates two sides
of his corn row at once, and then
thinks the Southern farmer lazy,
although the Southerner takes just
twice as many steps and twice as
much of his own time, and twice
as much of the mules time as
would be necessary if the work
were done with improved machin-
cry. Isn't it case o. lazy brains
rather than lazy bodies?

A Pressing Problem.

The Savannah News suggests that
among the problems to be solved at
an early date is how to keep the
states expenditures within its in
come, or, in other words, how to
avoid an empty treasury for a con-
siderable part of every year and a
consequently floating debt. Should
there be an increase in the tax rate
or an equalization of assessments In
order to get sufficient revenue to put
the states finances on satisfactory
basis? This is a matter the people
want settled, and our contemporary
will not be surprised if the result OF
the gubernatorial campaign depends
upon the way the candidates handle
this question.

High Living. Or Living High?

The Augusta Chronicle takes the
same view of the matter The News
dOes-that it is living high as much
as the high cost of living that is maxi
ing it so hard for the people to make
both ends meet these days. The high
cost of living is the subject of COM
ment in everything you take up now
adays, from the national platforms of
the various parties on down the line
to the country newspapers, but dis
cussion and party promises will not
remedy the trouble.
''Is it the high cost of living, or
the cost of living high?" our con-
temporary asks, and then continues;
There are thousands and tens of
thousands of people in the Southern
states-to say nothing of elsewhere
who are doing nothing but living,
and living high at that. When this
state of affairs exists we may expect
big figures to be presented when it
comes to the cost of providing the
necessities of life.
Everything in the world that we
get to eat and wear must come from
the soil, and it certainly takes work
to produce it. More than that, it
takes work to put it in shape for util-
ization, and until we see many of the
dormant forces about us put to work
we cannot expect to see change in
the condition of affairs now existing.
If we can colonize a few thousand
people on a few thousand acres of
land and make something worth
while from the soil we may expect
to see a little reduction in the case
of things to eat and wear"

An Atlanta Legislator Interferes

A bill introduced in the legislature
by Mr.. McElreath of Fulton, provld.
ing that girls and boys shall both be
admitted to the district agricultural
and mechanical schools on the same
terms and conditions, is said to be
aimed at the school in this tthe
Third district. At meeting of the
board of trustees of the school re-
Gently a resolution was adopted to
the effect that when the female stu
dents now attending the institution
complete their studies no more girls
shall be admitted as pupils. The
News approved the action of the
board at the time, and has seen no
reason to revise it's opinion. Not
withstanding the interference of the
Atlanta legislator we hope the men,
bers of the board will stand by their
guns.

A SMILE.

BY Henry Ward Beecher.
Nothing on earth can smile but
mani Gems may flash reflected
light, but what is a diamond-flash
compared to an eye-fash and a
mirth-fash? Flowers cannot smile;
this is a charm that even they can
not claim. 1t is the prerogative of
man; it is the color which love
wears, and cheerfulness and joy
these three. 1t is a light in the win
dows of the face by which the heart
signifies it is at home and waiting.
A face that cannot smile is like a
bud that cannot blossom and dries
up on the stalk Laughter is day
and sobriety is night, and smile is
the twilight that hovers gently be-
tween both-more bewitching than
either.

SENATOR BAcoNs SPLENDID RECORD.

I was up for passage there were yea
and nay votes on 14O distinct and
separate propositions relative TO
higher or lower rates of duty, ana
the incontrovertible fact is shown
that in every instance in these votes
Senator Bacon voted in the negative
where the proposition was to increase
rate of duty, and in the affirmative
where the proposition was to reduce
the rate of duty. The articles COW
cred by these lao propositions IN
yea and nay votes, upon which Sena-
tor Bacon voted against an increase
of duties and in favor of reduction
of duties, embraced the whole range
of articles essential for the comfort,
the health, the decency and the con-
venience of the people
1t can also be stated that when the
Dingley tariff bill was before the
senate, about fifteen years ago, Sena-
tor Bacon offered amendments put
ting both bagging and ties on the
free list and he succeeded in passing
them through the senate, but they
we're defeated in the conference COM
mittee of the two branches of con-
gress. Then, as before said, he re-
newed his fight to get free bagging
and ties for the cotton farmers when
the Payne-Aldrich tariff bill was up
for passage in the senate, and he
again supported the proposition in
1911 when the Underwood Farmers
Free List Bill" was before the SEN
ate.
Senator Bacon has taken an active
part in every tariff debate that has
occurred since he has been in the
senate, stressing particularly the in
justice of the protective tariff to the
cotton farmer and advocating and
voting not only for free bagging and
ties. but for free farmers utensils
and everything else in the way of
farmers supplies.
The fact is, he has never cast a
vote for protective duty.
In a service of nearly eighteen
years Senator Bacon has never been
absent a day from the senate on ac-
count of either his personal business
or his pleasure. During this period
he has striven in every way by
speech and vote to guard and pro-
mote the interests of the people Of
the country in general, and of his
state in particular. He has devoted
every faculty and every energy to the
work of serving them to the best of
his ability, and he may be depended
upon to continue in the future, as he
has in the past, to faithfully and
honestly discharge the duties of the
high trust the people of Georgia
have confided to him.
Senator Bacon's devotion to duty
and the best interests Of his constit-
uents will win for him an over
whelming endorsement in the prima-
ry of August 21st. Nothing was
ever more certain in Georgia politics.

Now that the tariff is an issue in
the presidential campaign and United
States Senator A. o. Bacon is a can
didate for denomination in the dem
ocratic primary on August 21st, it is
pertinent to say that he voted for the
bill generally spoken of as the I'm
derwood Farmers Free List" This
bill passed the senate on August LIST,
1911. by a yea and nay vote. Sena-
tor Bacon's vote is the first on the
list of the yeas. (See Congressional
Record. 62nd congress, first session,
page 3435.) This was bill to place
on the free list agricultural imple-
ments, cotton bagging, cotton ties,
leather, boots and shoes, fence wire,
meats, cereals, -four, bread, salt,
lemons, sewing machines and other
articles: also timber and lumber
hewn, sided or squared; shingles,
lathes, fencing posts, sawed boards,
planks and other lumber, rough or
dressed.
No senator took a more active part
than Senator Bacon in the extra ses-
sion of congress in 1909, when the
Payne-Aldrich tariff bill was discuss
ed and enacted, not only in the de-
bates, but in the offering of amend
ments along the whole line of sched-
ules seeking to reduce the cost of the
articles of common consumption by
the people.
He offered an amendment to place
agricultural implements on the free
list.
He offered an amendment placing
salt on the free list.
He offered seventeen separate
to the wooden schedule,
each amendment reducing a separate
rate of duty on different specific ar
ticles.
He offered an amendment reducing
the duty on earthen or stone ware,
china, crockery, etc.
He offered an amendment reducing
the duty on all kinds of knives
kitchen, table, butcher, shoe, paint
erss, plumbers, etc.-and on forks,
scissors, shears, etc.
For several months during the spe-
cial tariff session of 1909 Senator
Bacon labored unremittingly night
and day trying to get material re-
auctions of duty on all articles of
common and necessary everyday use,
such as crockery, farm implements,
tools of all kinds, machinery, cloth
ing and clothing material of all
kinds for male and female, carpets,
blankets, cutlery of all kinds, win
dow glass, paint and materials for
it, hats, shoes, harness and
other things. In all this
time he never missed an hour from
his seat in the senate, although the
ran from 10 o'clock in the
until II o'clock at night,
with committee meetings, besides, in
the mornings.
When the Payne-AIdrich tariff bill
