The L-sborsr 10 Entitled 70 Moisty or
the Fruits of i-is Toll.
I A contributor TO the Saturday Even
ing Post who writes on what he calls
The cost Of high living has discovereu
that the American workipgman spends
more on himself and on comforts and
recreations for his family than he did
thirty years ago; that ne has fruit for
/ breakfast, wears new clothes instead
OF patched old ones. handsome shoes
rather than strong shoes, and that MS
ramily's social and amusement outlay
/ has increased.
/ Well. and what them Was the
standard of the workingman's comfort
ana that OF his family fixed thirty
years agu7 Did all hope Of bis adj
vancement In material comfort come 20
dead stop then7 Shall he have no
further share In the wonderful scien-
tic discoveries and the increase which
they have brought about in the good
things OF this world7
Did the rich thirty years ago 1--we In
palaces 30 magnificent as TO make the
abOdes OF kings look by comparison
ike cowsheds7 Did their wives wear
Jewels so splendid as to awaken the
envy OF queens? Did Mr.. Carnegie
have his s4O0. OOO0 GOO or Mr.. Rockefel-
Ter have his S7O0,00O,00O thirty years
ago? Did the wealthy spend millions
on the building and adornment OF their
mere summer places thirty years ago?
Did they lavish ten, twenty, thirty
thousand dollars on an evenings par
ty" and ransack the world for means
TO crafty the palates and the ears anu
the eyes OF their guests7
Why, then, Imply a criticism Of the
workingman that he and bis family
have a little better breakfast or wear
little better clothes and prefer that
their shoes shall be as neat as well as
durable? When automobiles have
reached so high a point OF elegance.
why complain that the workingman
spends a nickel TO ride from Flfty-se
ond street to his employment in the
center OF the city rather than rise an
hour earlier and walk7 And If the
workingmans wife and children go TO
the movies more frequently than
they might or go for a week to the
country or the seaside rather than
limit themselves to the yearly dlssipa-
tons OF the Sunday school picnic shall
the high cost Of living or the cost OF
high living be put M TO them?
The worktngmans family has more
comforts than it did thirty years ago
because comforts for all have vast
IL Increased IN the world. but the
workman Is still far very far, from
the point where comforts and luxury,
II you will. are going TO hurt him. And
witha the American workman still
shows and daily shows that he knows
there is one thing far finer than COM
fort and that ls-character.

THE CASE or GoMPERS.
cscision Of Justice Wright critieisse
al Quprsasive.

cseision Of Justice Wright Criticised
AZ Oppressive.
The Judge OF the District Of Column
bia court who again finds Samuel
Gompers guilty OF criminal contempt,
with Imprisonment for one year as
penalty, Is the same Daniel Thew
Wright who, registering the same judg-
ment in the same case more than
three years ago, was later reversed by
the supreme court Of the United States.
At that time the unanimous opinion
OF the supreme court was that Justice
Wright and his associates had failed to
recognize the difference between a civil
action and a criminal action. II had
nothing to say about the merits of the
case except that labor leaders and or
CARNATIONS were subject to the law,
like other societies and persons, but it
did leave the impression that the Dis
trict court had been ignorant and op
pressive.
In the existing circumstances we
can only regard the decision announced
by Justice Wright as unfortunate If
not positively lacking in wisdom and
justice. The industrial quarrel from
which this prosecution grew was set
tied long ago. There can be no doubt
that Gompers and his associates dis
obeyed the orders Of the court. But
will anybody deny that the beef trust
violated the injunction issued against
1t In 1908 and has anybody heard of a
packer in jail?
While Mr.. Gompers may have com
mitted an oftense warrantMg imprison
ment. the present temper Of the people
OF the United States, with which we
fully sympathize. is extremely hostile

penitentiary sentences that rest not
upon the verdict OF juries, but upon
the pique or the vengeance Of court
