HORRIBLE

Frederick Glade, of Chicago, the
originator of the free lunch, was once
talking to a reporter about new ideas,
"They III always misunderstood" he
said. They r always suspected.
Even my free lunch was suspected at
first. Because it consisted of ham
sandwiches in the main people said it
was just a dodge to make them
thirsty and increase the peel sales.
However, in the end the free lunch
brought me wealth. But new ideas
are always misunderstood. Take
smuggling, for example. l was sitting
in a barber shop one afternoon at
the time when hair smuggling first
came out, and a middle-aged chap
with a thin, sparse thatch was hav-
ing a SINCE at the hands of the head
barber. Two laboring men sat and
watched the SINCE for a while with
awed eyes. The burning taper
passed to and fro across the thin,
scant crop Of hair, and the laboring
men couldn't. understand it at all.
But finally one of them frightened
up and, putting his big, rough hand
to the side Of his mouth, whispered
to his companion hoarsely: Hes

SATURDAY EVENING, AUGUST ,, 1912.
WHY NOT THE DINNER PAIL !?

mESTAURANT prices, already high, are to go up a large
INN peg higher, according to caterers in Newark and other
cities. There have been advances in the prices during
the last few years to keep pace with the progress of meat trust
and other trust prices, and it is complained that even at the
present altitude of restaurant charges the caterers are not max
ing an adequate profit. The midday lunch and table Adhote
in the evening and the ordinary restaurant dinner must, there.
fore, entail an additional tax for man and woman. Nor will the
limit then be reached. The meat trust is yet to be "dissolved,n
and experience has shown what trust dissolution means for the
consumer. The inevitable effect is still higher prices and bigger
trust profits. So we may look for a series of boosts of res
taurant prices. But as home prepared food is cheaper than
restaurant food. there is a means of deliverance. 1t is the old
fashioned dinner pail. The lobster palaces" which attract the
idle rich and the improvident, may still be crowded, but why
should the business and the professional man, the clerk and
the salesman be impoverished as long as they can carry a din
ner pail to their places of business for the lunch hour and do
their dining at home?

suggest manipulation for some legal object. The State Water

TAcKLING THE COTTON SCHEDULES NOW.

It'll the wool bill now well under way TO the White
WV House and the sugar bill licked into shape the House,
by a vote of 1856 to -, puts through the Underwood
cotton bill, making an average reduction of 80 per cent. below
the robber rates of the PayneA1drich bill. The Underwood bill
provides an ample margin of protection and it's effect, if it be
comes d law, will be to reduce the bloated dividends of the cot
ton manufacturing companies and enable the people to obtain
cotton clothing, bedding and other necessaries at fairly reason
able prices. The aggregate of saving for families by the pro
posed tariff tax reduction is away up in the millions. 1t has
been fully demonstrated by investigation that labor gets none
of the benefits of the present tariff rates on cotton and wooden
goods. Native labor has been driven out of the trust factories
and been replaced by alien labor imported from Europe and
wretchedly paid. There can be no squeezing of the labor wage
10 make up the loss of tariff monopoly profit. for the labor
wage is down. to hard nails and can't go lower.

BOARD OF WORKS WILL PAY THE RAISE.

1HHE underpaid street cleaners of the Board of Works are
to get a raise, and without any additional appropriation
by the Common Council. 1t will come out Of the funds
of the Board, Notwithstanding the protestations of poverty made
by a majority of the commissioners. And with the extrayagant
expense for unnecessary labor in the salaried positions cut down
there will be ample to allow for the fvecent raise pleaded for
by laborers, who now average Sc per week. The men who stand
for such wages should never stand for public office. for they
discredit their community. Employing more salaried men than
the public service needs, and obviously for the sake of giving
Jobs to political workers, makes the ofense the ranker. The
Board of Works should at once proceed to cut out enough of
the needless expense to pay the laborer all the pitifully small
advance he asks.
