SAVING ONES OWN.
By EDWIN A. NYE.


At the risk of his life a father
named William Burns saved a child
from drowning. He did not know
whose child 1t was.
Half a dozen children were playing
by the side Of canal as Mr.. Burns
drove by. Suddenly there were screams,
and little hands pointed to the water.
Jumping into the canal, Burns encoun-
tered a swift current caused by near
by sluiceway. By great exertion he
reached the drowning child and brought
1t ashore.
"My God, it's my bayw exclaimed
Burns.
You say the conjunction Of the mans
heroism and the rescue Of his own
flesh and blood were a mere coinci-
dence.
Perhaps, but the moral remains.
He who saves the child of his day or
child.
When a father insists as a patron OF
the public school upon proper lighting
and ventilation and reasonable school
hours he may be saving his own child
from contagion or illness.
When he demands an atmosphere of
moral purity in and about the prem
Uses Of the schoolhouse he may be saw
ing his own boy or girl from the faint
of impurity.
When he declares that the saloon
keeper must obey the law respecting
the sale Of intoxicants to minors and
takes the personal pains to see that

his son from drunkenness
When he helps to create a public
sentiment that prohibits gambling he
may be saving his boy from tempta.
don.
And 50 on.
Fathers should realize that the In
terests OF the child are inextricably
bound up with the interests of the
community. Communal concern is con-
Germ for the individual.
The veal or woe Of the child Is
largely dependent upon the disposition
and willingness of fathers to plunge
into the waters to save a child, no
matter whose child it may be-
II in the sequel it should turn out
that the willing citizen has saved his
own flesh and blood thrice blessed is he.
No man liveth to himself
We are all tied up together in the
public concern, and there Is no way to
undo the tangie.
The only thing to do is to jump in
when the occasion shows itself and
save the child-anybody' child.

ROB LABOR AND THE PUBLIC
Recent Happenings Have Shed Light
on the Operations of the Cot
ton Manufacturers.

Recent industrial a disturbances
throughout New England disclosed a
wage scale very much lower than the
public realized. OF the 100000 opera
tives, fully 250,000 were earning from
Sc to $40 week, $4,000 from $40 to
SIS week. and $4,000, including over
seers and foremen, from SIS tc S25 q
week. This wage scale compared to
that obtaining 20 years ago shows a
reduction OF more than 100 per cent,
while the cost of living has increased
At per cent. New England cotton mill
wages were not living wages, and,
even with the ten per cent. increase,
are not living wages.
The most valuable contribution to
the discussion of cotton mill 1wages is
the report Of the tariff board on the
cotton schedule Of the tariff law, and
just made public. That report shows
that New England cotton mills and. in
fact. cotton mills throughout this coun-
try. are today paying lower wages
than are paid In England or any Euro
pean country; while the cost to the
consumer Of some grades Of goods
produced. is 100 per cent. more than
for similar goods manufactu
abroad. This means, If 1t means any
thing, that cotton manufacturers have
employed the tariff to rob both their
employees and the public. The cotton
manufacturers are thus responsible
for the absence Of living wage in
the cotton industry.
The remedy for this situation is that
the cotton schedule be revised by low
ering some duties and abolishing
others. b.

President Jefferson wrote his familiar

This Is first calculated to evoke in

light and ephemereal things that they
can be evolved at short notice out OF
fish warehouses In harbors so incon
siderable as to be unknown. II so. the
entire argument for naval preparation
Is punctured, since that has been based
on the assertion that 1t Is a work Of
time to create naval stations and te
equip and supply them effectively. .As
matter OF fact, the fishing conces
sion would be OF less use to Japanese
for naval purposes than the franchise
for a railroad In the United States
owned by British stockholders would
be to the British government.
The assertion that the settled policy
of the United States is to forbid such
grants Is far from correct. What JEFF
ferson's letter to Madison declared
against was the acquisition of sover
eighty over American territory. AS q
matter Of fact, at least one European
government has held fishing conces
sion on the Atlantic coast for a cen
fury. And at the very time that tbs
United States was ordering the French
