DEATH OF PYRRHUS
By REV. THOMAS B. GREGORY.

eighty-four years ago. about this
time. king Pyrrhus. the mighty
genius who had brought Rome peril
ously near the brink of ruin. died at
the hands of woman in the course Of
the sacking d the Peloponnesian city
Of Argos.
This remarkable man became king Of
Epirus while still in his teens. and such
was his ability that by the time ne was

Of Macedonia Had he remained in
Greece he would probably have radical

But in Greece he was not to remain

the encroachments Of Rome, and, ac-
cepting the call. he was brought into
a clash with the legiOns of the re-
public
At Heraclea it was the first time IN
history that Greeks and Romans met in
battle) Pyrrhus won a great victory
At Asculum, in Apulia, Pyrrhus put
another big triumph to his credit. and
then, for some unaccountable reason
instead of following up his victories.
he broke off from his pummeling OF
the Romans and retired to sicily. where
he remained for three years
Returning 20 Italy in 276, he was met

British and American wage earne1s as
closes the fact that the average Anerl-
can wage Garner pays more than double
as much for the same sort Of housing
acconm OdatiOns as does his British
brother. To be exact. the same sort Of
a house that the British wOrkingman
can rent for $40 a month will cost the
American labOrer 5000. The English
statisticians attribute a large share Of
this to the relat lively higher cost OF Ia
Dor in the building trades in the United
States OF course the landlord uses
this as an excuse for forcing I'D rents.
This is especially true in the case OF
properties rented by the very poor.
Many sOciolOgists have prepared tables
showing that landlords have collected
rents on a basis yielding from % to 80
percent return on their investment.
Likewise, as the number Of rooms in an
apartment for the poor goes up the
price per room goes down In a Boston
1913 per month, two room apart
ment 1882 per room permonth. and q
six room apartment $40 per room per
month; showing that in the buying OF
shelter the burden increases as the abil-
ity to bear it decreases
Notwithstanding the fact that the
American wOrkingman employed in the
factories OF the country receives only
IS percent on the gross wholesale value
Of the product he turns out, share
which is probably - percent when COM
pared with the prices the consumer
pays. he is stiu about the best paid
laboring man in the world The report
of the British board Of trade, cited in
a previous article, unreservedly con-
cedes that he is. This report. made af-
ter labor conditions all over Europe had
been studied, says that If the European
laborer could come TO America and ad-
here to his former standard OF living
while drawing an American standard
wages. he could lay up money for a
rainy day But the fact is noted that
the immigrant from northern Europe
becomes "Americanized" more rapidly
in his standard Of living than in any
other particular
With the labor engaged in the manu-
featuring industries receiving only Is
percent of the consumers prices on the
manufactured commodities Of the
country, with the labOrer be-
tween the manufacture and the con-
sumer probably receiving an even
smaller share, and with the wages OF
the Workingman increasing less rap
idly and always in the wake Of increas-
ing prices. the case he presents as his
defence against responsibility Tor the
increased cost of living, is at least as
strong as that of any other class OF
people who figure at all in the ultimate
price Of things.

plan of making a public highway along

II the county wishes TO spend more

It probably is not generally known
that not only have we no first class
road leading from FL PasO to the east
era part Of the cOunty-tO Fit Han
cOck. Finlay, Sierra Blanca and other
pOints-but we have absolutely no pub
lie road at all and no effort is made
to maintain a road and the county
commissioners appear absolutely in
different TO our wants and needs.
even after we have politely requested
some sort Of a road to the county
seat.
Out of the previous bond issue this
end Of the county did not get a dollar
for roads for the general public
benefit Allow me 20 say that in spite
OF the fact that there are approx
mately three million acres Of taxable
land east of Fabens. not to mention
approximately a million more, includ
ing railroads, etc yet IN spite Of the
fact that we pay considerable taxes.
we do not derive one cent OF benefit
and when we ask for a road we are
treated with absolute indifference, but
when certain other parties require a
dyke. which can not legally be built,
they are given an expensive road cost
ing very much more than plain dyke
would cost. but then the county pays
for IL and it is attended to right now
while we have had TO wait more than
six months for plain committee re-
port on our request
Again let me say emphatically. we
are for roads for the public good but
not for private ends

has been in forest prOducts-40 per
cent-and the employees in this industry
are un0rganized. The next greatest rise
has been in farm products, unmanufac-
tured. And the friend of the laooring
man wants TO know where less organl-
zation exists than on the farm
On the other hand, I'm the mining IN
dustrv and the manufacturing indus-
tries, labor is well organized and the
value OF the commodities of the mine
and factory have advanced much less
rapidly than that Of the commodities OF
the forest and the farm. Likewise. the
labor involved in the manufacture OF
earthenware R well organized, ana
has had its wages increased IN keeping
with the times Yet the prices OF earth
enware were less in 1903 than IN ISVO
by nearly five percent
On the other hand. it is declared that
the labor unions have accomplished
great deal in the way OF securing
shorter hours, better working condi-
lions. and in upbuildink the standard OF
labor all around. This has served, IN
connection with the advance in wages,
to attract a vast number of rural resi-
dents to the cities and to secure their
enlistment in the forces OF urban iaDor-
This, in turn. has served to deplete the
supply OF labor for the farms and TO
make high wages on the farm necessa-
ry. Each time young man is attracted
from the country to the city II subtracts
one from the producing forces OF the
country and adds one TO the consuming
forces. One needs only TO look about
him in a big city to see how rapidly
that process of thinning the ranks Of
prime food producers and swelling the
ranks Of consumers is taking place
Where the Auto Comes In.
Another element tending to increase
the wages of the wOrkingman and to
upset the normal balance getween
production and consumption is the rise
OF such new industries at automobile
manufacture. Tens of thousands OF
people have been drafted into the va
riOus departments Of this industry, and
inevitably the number Of consumers
has increased and the number OF pro-
duceTs decreased.
All of this has tended to produce a
scarcity of farm labor and to make its
wages higher II has been testified in
every investigation that where the farm
hand once got So a month and wash
in and mendin," he is now able 10 COM
mand from SIS TO $50. The farmer as
serts that the wages Of his farm hands
have increased more rapidly than the
value of the products Of his farm.
There is one place where the high

is in the matter Of his house rent The
