CHASING A PHANTOM.

We are living in an age in which by
eXaggeration of the defects of our pres
ent condition, by false charges Of re
sponsibility for 1t against individuals
and classes. by holding up to the fevag
ish imagination of the less fortunate
and the discontented the possibilities Of
a millennium, a condition Of popular
unrest has been produced. New parties
are being formed, with the proposed
purpose Of satisfying this unrest by
promising a panacea. In so far as in
equality of condition can be lessened
and equality of opportunity can be pro-
NOTED by improvement of our educa-
tional system, the betterment of the
laws to insure the quick administra-
ton Of justice and by the prevention Of
the acquisition Of privilege without just
compensation, In so far as the adop-
ton of the legislation above recited and
laws of a similar character may aid
the less fortunate in their struggle with
the hardships of life, all are in sympa
thy with continued effort to remedy
injustice and to aid the weak, and
venture to say that there Is no national
administration in which more real
steps Of such progress have been taken
than in the present one. But in 80 far as
the propaganda for the satisfaction Of
unrest involves the promise of mil
lennium, a condition in which the rich
are to be made reasonably poor and
the poor reasonably rich by law, we
are chasing phantom; we are holding
out to those whose unrest we fear a
prospect and dream, vision of the
impossible. - From President Taft's

Foreign Wages.

AS an example, the average daily
compensation of railway employees of
all classes for the year 1910 in the
United States was 1928; in the United
Kingdom of Great Britain, $1O5, and
in Prussia, 81 cents, showing that the
pay in the United States was more
than double that Of Great Britain, and
almost three times that of Prussia;
and the pay of railway employees is a
fair sample of the average difference
in all other occupations.
A recent report of the English
Board of Trade on railway wages
showed that the average weekly pay
Of engineers in the United Kingdom
was SILLY, as against $25.SO in the
United States. 1t is we'll within the
truth to estimate in a broad and gen.
eral way that while the cost of a
much higher standard of living of the
railway employees in the United States
is not so per cent higher than that of
the corresponding employe in Great
Britain, his compensation averages
more than twice as much.

No Desk Room In House For Forty

VIEWS OF GREAT
STATESMAN
Andrew JaCkSOl'S Ideas Of a
Protective Tariff.
COMMON SENSE THE REMEDY

Shows That There Is Nothing That
Labor Buys That Under the Benefi.

Tariff Cannot Be Bought Today For

where.
In a letter to l.. II. Colman, of Vir.
ginia, dated Washington City, April
26, 1924. replying to a question as to
his views of a protective tariff, Gen.
eral Jackson said in part:
There is too much labor employed
in agriculture. The channels of labor
should be multiplied. Common sense
at once points out the remedy. Draw
from agriculture the superabundant
labor employ ii in mechanism and
manufacture, thereby creating home
market for our breadstuffs. distribut-
ing labor to a most profitable account,
and benefits to the country will re-
suit Take from agriculture 100000
men, women and children, and you at
once create home market for more
breadstuffs than all Europe now fur
nishes u.s.
This was General Jackson's idea of
diversified industries that in the
twentieth century has reached its per-
fection, for labor now receives from
100 to 500 per cent more pay than is
received for similar service in Eu-
rope. There is nothing that labor buys
that under the benefcent influence of
our protective tariff cannot be bought
today for fewer hours of service than
anywhere else on this globe. If labor
would consent to live here in the
same way as in Europe, it could do
so for the same cost.
Sixteen staple articles, in Novem-
Der, 1910, were found to be dearer in
France than in the United States. La
borers in the United States live bet
ter than the so-called middle classes
in Europe. A working man in the
United States for the proceeds of one
weeks labor can buy a fashionably
cut, well-tailored, all wool suit, which
could not be bought for two weeks
labor in Great Britain, for three
weeks labor in France or Germany,
or for five weeks labor in southern
Europe.

Annual Report on Employment Of
Columbia Undergraduates.

Domestic Service, Tutoring, Sewing
and Saving Wood Were Sources OF
Proft-Forty- seven Of the Number
Who Got Employment Wore Girls.
More than 500 students at Columbia
university, New York, worked their
way through college, either In whole
or in part last year, according to the
annual report of the committee on EN-.
ployment for students.
The students, by doing odd jobs of
all kinds during the summer vacation
of 1911 and the academic year which
ended last June, earned $95,o35.53.
More than one-third Of this was made
from work found for the students by
the employment office.
Out Of the total number Of 563 stu
dents there were forty seven young
women who earned relatively Just as
much as the men. They worked In
private families as tutors and govern
esses, and some Of them even got
work meant for men students. A great
many of the students found employ
ment as tutors, and this kind Of work
was the most lucrative.
During the summer vacation Of 1911
the students earned total OF S9,41629
with the committees aid and S15,-
3073S without the committees aid,
making total Of S24, ,73S-67, or $1,000
less than the report for the summer Of
1910 The falling OF was in the work
which the students found for them
selves, the committee's earnings In that
period increasing by more than 1880.
In the academic year, which began
last October and finished in June, the
committee found work that netted $780,
O03.27 for the students, and by them
selves they earned S44, ,30S59, or a total
Of $70,311S6, nearly twice as much as
they earned in the corresponding aca-
demic year 1901.

Effect Of the Tariff.

The protective tariff, that is now
blamed for the higher cost of living
has more than worked out in this
generation the blessings for the coun-
try that General Jackson's foresight
Indicated nearly a century ago. 1t has
not only made the home market the
best in the world, but it has cheapened
to the consumer everything but food
The better prices for foodstuffs that
General Jackson had in mind as so de-
sirable have been achieved by the
agriculturalist. The general did not
foresee that while a protective tariff
would enlarge the market for agri-
cultural products, it would within
twenty years lower the cost of every
thing produced in factories, and at
the same time increase the per hour
wage almost 40 per cent. (See the
July Report of Commerce and Labor)
While the higher cost of living is
worldwide, it is only the American
wage Garner who today is able to earn
the wages necessary to maintain the
higher standard of living for labor,
which exists nowhere outside of the
United States. The average daily CON-
pensation here is from two to three
times as great as that of our severest
European competitors.

New York, Aug. Starry Doyle
captain of the victorious New York
Giants, has recently been interviewed
on the interesting question of how to
bat" Doyles word ought to go long
way on this subject, as he is the sec
ond best batter in the league, having
a batting average of 81.
Willie Keller said in one sentence
all there really is to batting" says
Larry. His advice was, Hit 'en1
where they amt
"One of the first things that a
batter should learn is bunting-how
to lay the ball down, as ball players
say. The value of the bunt can't be
overestimated. I think that some
teams play a bunting game too much
and Manager McGraw has always
been opposed to the sacrifice game;
but when a bunt Is wanted 1t is
wanted badly, and while the Giants
very seldom use ft-only the fast men,
as a rule-every man on the batting
order is supposed to be able to lay
down a bunt when 1t is called for.
when you want to bunt you hold
your bat in the natural manner. but
instead Of swinging you slip the upper
hand a foot or so out along the bat
and poke your stick in the path Of the
ball The bat is not gripped as tightly
as when you swing, and the result is
that almost all Of the force Of the ball
is absorbed. 1t rebounds only a few
feet and rolls in whatever direction
you have guided it
TN real hitting the sober fact Is
that much of 1t is a guessing match
between batter and pitcher. You don't
have much time to change your mind
after the ball leaves the pitchers
