To Fix Wage Scale.

The proposed industrial commission

the platform, empowered to fix mimi
mum wage scale for employees. TO pro-
hibit the employment of child Labor

The platform argues that the last

those in other states who do not OBJ

The platform will contain an en-
phatic declaration against efforts to

trusts. asserting that TO do so is to go

efficiency and value of medical treat ment. Thymol and Epson salts are the standard remedies, and no person need longer suffer from the necator Americanus which is described as a worm about half an inch long like a bit of soiled thread, having we'll de- veloped organs. The female lays thousands of eggs, and when these worms are lodged in the intestines they sap the strength by sucking out the blood. Whites are easier victims than the negroes.
 A general hookworm crusade would add 2,000,000 whites to the number of effective citizens, and the Rockefeller effort promises to put new life into the south. What has been accom- plished in Porto Rico certainly can be repeated in these states.

RESPECTING EDITORS
From the saturady Evening Post.

From the Saturady Evening Post
 The new writer arriving in New York wants to see editors, just as the newly married couple wants to see Chinatown. called on editors. The publishing |center was still chiefly round Park Row, though some of the magazins had gone uptown. spent a week Investigating in and round that thoroughfare. which Is probably the hottest place in the metropolis in summer and the bleakest in winter. The editors were kind. There were certain prelimnaries not common in Chicago then, such as sending in your name by a boy and stating your business; but they came out of their offices and talked a few minutes, or sent an assistant to chat with me. As soon as l had seen the inside of some of the famous publishing offices I gave up this visiting. however. and have bothered mighty few editors since,
 Editors are of very little consequence one way or the ohter to a writer who knows what he wants to write and has begun to learn how to write it., Some of them are the most guarded buyers in the world. They do not know what they want or are unskiilful in describ- ing it. They are afraid somebody will lead them to commit themselves and are i'll at ease so long as you keep them away from their manuscripts. What they are actually looking for is some thing no one has ever seen, because 1t has not been produced yet; and when they finally do get their hands on it they are apt to be frightened. They are creatures of very few hopes and many dark doubts, and 1 have found that it is better not to be round at all when they are making their decisions.
 To tell the truth, was as much at sea as they when 1t came to definite ideas about what could write for them Experience soon taught me that the whole business of a professional writer Is to follow the interests of people who know nothing of editors or publishers, and to write accordingly. When he does that-and does 1t fairly weil-ail the editor can do for him is to get out of the way and let him at his readers; and this most editors are glad to do.

TRUSTS IN CHINA

E IL cressy,f Shanghai. China, in the
 Survey.
 The transition in China from small the corporation which the modern scale of production demands, has raised prob lems which the Chinese as yet have not solved. No Chinese corporation has asp yet been a complete success. The reason is made apparent by such ac- ton as that recently taken in meet ing of Chinese stockholders, when in the face of heavy losses due to the revolution, 10 per cent dividend was voted. One-of the vices of Chinese management is the neglect of upkeep. Everything in China appears to be go- ing to rack or ruin and plants are allowed to deteriorate. while the funds that should be used in repairs are paid out in dividends. Such conditions will make it even more possible than it was in America for those who first master the new machinery of business, to manipulate corporation securities and build fortunes before the people awaken to the danger and learn to protect themselves.
 The human horrors of the industrial revolution in other lands are being repeated and magnified here. It is stated on good authority that of all the big cotton mills in. Shanghai. only one allows as long as 15 minutes for lunch nt noon. In the. rest, the women work from early fo late, often with babies in baskets at their feet, and eat when they can while tending the looms.

 The Century Magazine most circum- spect of the illustrated popular period- icals, comes gallantly to the aid of M. Pierre Loti, French academician and orld famed author,
 M. Loti is now in New York city, su- perintendng the first performances of his play, "The Daughter of Heaven" What ever there may be of actual interest to set forth relative to the distinguished au- thor is food and drink to the press agent. who knows. doubtNss, that Broadway as a whole never heard of Pierre Lott, be- cause it is too deeply interested in George NJ.

 It is interesting to find, therefore, that the publishers of the Century Magazine are making this announcement: M. Lott has engaged to contribute to the Century his record of impressions of New York. and they will appear in an early number of the magazine"
 It was Harpers Magazine that inaugu- rated this fashion, with Arnold Bennett as the Interesting "impressionist." But there is room for a similar feature in the Century, and nobody will deny that M. Lofts observations are likely to prove very delightful entertainment.
