A Year of Labor Laws
(ChiCago Tribune)

(ChiCHgO Trbune)
 There is multiplying evidence that the American people squarely facing the salient facts of the change brought about in the ditions of life by what is called the industrial lution." We rather tardy in this recognition. but it has and the needs of the worker witi his hands, the earner, bulk larger and larger and larger in public discussion The bettcrment of hrs condition. legal economic and social. is now foremost consideration in politics and civic activity.
 Concrete proof of this is
 the American Association Labor Legislation in its review of labor legislation during 1912. Space permits only the brefest hint of progress made here but even the simplest summary is impressive,
 Besides congress, seventeen of the states passed laws during the year affecting the wage corner. Some of these were of exceptional importance for example, the Massachusetts law providing for minimum wage hoards-already described by the Tribune-and federal law taxing white phos- phorous matches, which will prevent terrible "phossy jaw. Massachusetts provided for the reor ganizaton of her factory inspection and several states passed stricter laws requiring notification of industrial accidents and diseases Four states adopted workmen's compensation acts. Congress enlarged the scope of the eight hour and govern ment employees accident compensation acts.
 The three constitutions those of Ohio laInendments rather than new consttution), Arl- zona and New Mexico made substantial provision for labor legislation That of Ohio provides that laws fixing and regulating the hours of labor, tablishing minimum wage, and providing for the comfort health, safety, and general welfare of all employees" may be enacted and that mo other pro- vision of the constitution shall impair limit this power" The Arizona constitution directs the legis- lature to enact compulsory workmenS compensa tion law which accordingly has been passed.
 In Illinois, there Feing regular session. not much legislation to be expected. But at the second special session the law regulating mutual in surancc companies for the purpose of furnishing insurance against loss from accidents to employees is amended to provide that insurance business of this kind may be transacted by other than legally incorporated company, except by permission of the state superintendent of insurance Another important amendment of this law the stricton against members of these insurance com panies being engaged in different classes of manu- featuring mining.
 Measures limiting the salaries of mine inSpec tors and providing for female investigators in the factory inspection department also passed
 The most significant fact of the legislative year Tn the field of labor is the appearance Of the minimum idea. The intention of the Ohio constitution makers to prevent state courts from dnnulng social legislation academic theories of private liberty also is worthy of

The Modern Franciscans

The Catholic church owes mucn of her power over the minds of men to the brotherhood formed by St. Francis of Assist who called themselves The Little Brothers of the Poor Protestants, too the memory of those brothers whose only to preach to sinners, and to the poor who made distinction of sex, race or creed in their passionate desire be service mankind.
 St. Francis found his age satiated with pleasure, the nobles indifferent to the poor, who starved at their very gates tradesmen shrewd and hard heart ed. given over vanity, even the church cold to its obligations toward the owy. Nothing the extreme methods availed against that state of affairs; but spiritual hero could have affected it.
 We this generation known such hero A man, physically frail without money, without friends yet great in heart and mind quckened with generous passion for humanity that he, Of all our saints. generals, and humanitarians is be- ginning to show himself the pillar of fire to hurrying callouS world, General of the Sal vation Army, William Booth
 Even to the most casual observer, the resem- blance between the Franciscans and the Salvation ists must be startling Like the saint William Booth, a dreamer and enthusiast He saw ideals first, and practical results afterWard. He used methods which scandalized the regular clergy, and he ceaSeessy levied the rich the benefit of the poor
 Like the Franciscans William Booth gave first to alleviate distress and dealt with the simple of it, after
 The buildings goods, persons and influence of both the orders, always at the disposal of the needy though nothing but and base in gratitude the rewards of such boundless service
 In every way the analogy between the Francis and the Salvation Army grows stronger each year. They both the outcome of the emo tonal impulse of lovely spirit which could find an outlet only in work of humanity. Neither one of the founders thought, at first of making order apart from the recognized church day Neither had any definite idea to rules and regua- ttions % begin with. but made them as the exigen- cieS of the moment seemed to demand little dream ing that they would become the orders by which thousands would live.

Illuminating the New Home

Home builders are very apt to leave the ques- ton or artificial illumination entirely the archi feet in charge. This in itself is well enough day Illuminating engineering is established pro- tesslon and 1t is very easo reliable inforlna tlon on this important subject of proper illumination
 The architect is too prone to lean towards the artistic in lamp fixtures and placement. Artistic effect is all right enough but it should always be secondary to good, healthful illumination The eyes should be considered first and the decorative scheme last
 With electricity it is possible always to have the lamps just where you want them. After the house is occupied it is frequently found that lamps need changing that additional lamps necessary This work should never be attempted by amateurs The electrician should be called in at and the work done by skilled in the craft If few such minor changes necessary for the comfort of the they should be neglected and the work will really cost but little Another important item which most folk overlook is the fact that cleo tric lamps be had in a variety of sizes from the little fellow of but two candle-power all the way up to units of two hundred or even five hundred candle power. It is folly to burn twenty candle power lamp where an eight candle-power will answer the purpose. And it is equally wrong to try to read by an eight, or ten, candle power lamp where thirty is required. In the end the WI; suffer and it is always cheaper and easier to buy suitable lamps than it is to purchase glasses.
 When building new home, when planning new system of illumination for the old home, the following important rules should be most carefully considered:
 Always use a shade or reflector with lamp that is, a bare lamp, which produces g'are peclay when near the level of the eye, should never be employed without protecting device.
 2 When possible mount the lamps high to be of the ordinary line of eye.
 g. If the, ,ceing of your room IS low two or three small lamps rather than large lamp; if the ceiling is high larger lamps may be used. Metal filament lamps made in a large variety of sizes suiting them to practically all conditions in the home.
 1. Reflectors designed for given sizes of lamps. If you 4O-Watt lamp secure 4O-watt reflector Always the reflector holder which is designed for the particular lamp in qucs- ton.
 D Do not forget that too much light may be harmful too little If your eyes become tired and hurt toward the end of the evening they may either be blinded by much light or strained by inSufficency of light
 6. Keep the lamps and refectors clean because much larger losses of light due to dust and dirt tbaI you would imagine.

Elevator Speeds and Skyscrapers

Contrary to the popular notion, there is than way limiting the height buildings where land is extremely valuable The usual pro- ceture is to pass law making the maximum height Uf steel frame building 150 feet, less But would restricting the speed of elevators not bring about the result? The swiftly moving elevator made the American skyscraper possible. and appears that the owners of sxtystory building in New York obliged to apply for special legislation permitting rate of TOO feet minute in order tenants may be able travel upwards 750 feet from the street level in quick time Comparison with the speed of 150 feet a minute made twenty-five years ago by hydraulic elevators shows that the develop ment of rapid transit is not limited steam electric railroads. With elevator of old design ten minutes would be required for express trip sixty-story building. than with stops all the floors. A reducing ele- vator speeds, if enforced, would check the mania excessive heights because occupants of offices be depended upon to object to long rides in elevator cars.

Where Money Didn't Talk
Adrian (Mich.) Telegram.


 It is old saying that money talks" and it certainly is talkative at times It did most of the talking at many of past elections, and judg ing by the testimony before the Clapp committee Investigating campaign funds it has been talking very loud even in the 1912 campaign.
 But in Michigan it is different. Here it talked only in a weak and tmid voice for the repub licans and democrats, while in the of the pro gressives it such faint whisper that you could hardly hear it with stethoscope. The bull moose campaign just made public at Washington, and you have to take strong magnifying glass to find it. The biggest contributors D. NJ. New bro and George J. Jacobs. the Thomas F. Ryans of the Michigan fund.- who across with the colossal amount twenty-five dollars apiece. Two more liberal ones gave ten-spot apiece and three others added S5 each. After that the rank and file rallied the support of the bull moose standard in of $1 and g until total of $l53 was piled up
 And the funny part of it is that Michigan made the best showing of any bull moose state. To roll up 1000 plurality for T. R. with only $153 of con tributions is something to make Brother Perkins lose his appetite. A quarter of cent apiece for each plurality vote is enough make Mark Hanna turn in his sepulcher. Coupled with the fact that most of the Michigan congressman reported that they had spent either very sran sums or nothing a all, it makes think that money no longer talks hereabouts Next time the campaign fat fryer along with his frying pan the patriotic Michigander will be likely to say: Re member 1912 when the smaller the contributions the bigger the pluralities.'
 The whole situation only to strengthen the conviction that when the people want something hey know how to ask for it without the aid of campaign funds educate" them and to bring the vote' Michigan educated it5ajf pretty we'll at it's expense, and brought out its vote very successfully. About the only Dlc. Wl.ere bis money is really useful is to turn the election ore way when the people really want it to the other way. The public has found out this truth at last, and that is why it has got enough of big campaign funds. The public does not need to be either bought, driven or led.

Public Ownership of Railways
(B L. Winchen in Atlantic Magazine)

(B. L. WincheIl in Atlantic Magazine)
 The adoption of public ownership of railways would be political and economic change of the greatest magnitude and importance, and the burden of demonstrating, by q clear preponderance of the evidence and convincing logic, that the result would be of public benefit rests those who favor the policy They have not shown this, do 1 believe they They claim that under govern ment ownership wages would be higher, rates would be lower, service would be better, and the profits from the railways could be applied in mitigation of the public taxation but the evidence shows that der private ownership the wages paid by the rail- ways of the United States the highest in the world that the rates charged by them the lowest in the world, that the service rendered by them is good any rendered in the world and that the taxes paid by them into the public treasury eX- ceed the net profits. after interest. paid into the public treasury by any state-owned railway system in the world. This combination of facts seems to demonstrate that railways under private owner ship the most efficiently managed in the in terest of the public, in the world. What good req son is there for believing that public management here would be efficient than private manage ment, when the latter is in this country, more effk cient from public standpoint than public manage ment is anywhere in the world?

Miss Gould

May Miss Helen Miller Gould and MT Finley J. Sheppard live long and happily ever after. We do not know much about MT. Sheppard but do know that Miss Gould deserves the best husband in the world we believe that her judgment in all mat ters is good that she could have erred in her approval of MT. Sheppard
 The life of Miss Gould since coming woman hood has been devoted to good works. Among the very rich of the country she is a pioneer in this line of endeavor, though pleased say that there now many followers.
 Miss Gould has done much for the amelioration of the condition of the very poor and for the recla- work in sensible way for one of the many dis tinguishing characteristics of Miss Gould is her good sense.
 She inherited enough of the great business tact of her father to give her charitable work ntelli gent direction; to invest every philanthropc dollar that it would bring the greatest returns. Her work has been unostentatous it could be- con- sidering the great volume of it and the social and financial prominence of the worker. Her smaller henefactions are unnumbered and many of them have been unheard of
 Notwithstanding her great wealth and her posi- tion, has never identified with what is known New York society Her life has been apart from all it's frivolities and follies Her name has appeared the lists of guests at functions the chronicIing which has burdened the metro potan newspapers.
 Until the chase was known to be hopeless, Miss Gould was regarded as rich prize by the noble fortune hunters Europe whom many Amer- girls of much less wealth and meaner blood had become captives, her frivolous sister being one the victims.
 Miss Gould will have as she deserves noblcr husband than them all
