WITH THE WORLD OF LABOR,

The engineers and firemen of the
Bangor & Aroostock railroad strucl
Saturday after being refused an in
crease in wages.
The public service corporation o.
New Jersey has announced that in the
future the minimum wage for women
and girls in it's employ shall be 50 g
week.
The presidents order transferring tc
the civil service all skilled laborers in
the various navy yards of the country
meets with general commentator
among the unions.
Paupers in England and Wales are
according to government report, the
fewest on record since 1872, the total
being 637,048. The decrease is largely
due to the old-age pension act.
Forty thousand Chicago garment
workers may be called out on strike
in sympathy with New York strikers
because eastern manufacturers are
sending orders there to be filled.
Labor leaders predict that the sym.
pathetic strike begun January II, when
500 men walked out and tied up two
OF the largest new buildings in the
course of construction in the loop,
would continue unless the firm said to
be responsible for the trouble settles
it's differences with the unions.
Encouraged by the result of the
workmen's compensation law, which
has been in effect in the state of
Washington since the last session of
the legislature, the people of Montana
and Idaho are advocating like meas
ure for their states. A bill has also
been prepared for submission to the
legislative body Of Oregon. This evil
dences the progressive and humani-
tartan twentieth century spirit which
pervades the Pacific Northwest and
is indicative of a spirit on the part
of the people to be responsive to and
ready to adopt any institution which
may be to the interest of justice and
the bread producers of this section.
An announced settlement Saturday
in New York City of the strike in the
dress and shirtwaist branch of the
garment making industry, promising
to send $4,000 operatives back to work,
was followed almost at once by rebel
lion among employees affected against
the terms their leaders had agreed
upon with the manufacturers. Doubt
exists whether the dress and shirt
waist makers will accept the condi-
lions. In the other trades the strike
still is on, affecting more than 100000
men and women. With hatpins and
umbrellas, several hundred women
fought the police Saturday in one of
the fiercest riots since the beginning
of the garment workers strike. A
policeman who tried to protect the
strikebreakers was badly beaten.

UNTRUTHFUL FIGURES
Admonition From Authority to Put
Not Your Trust in Statistics

Washington. August 2-fSpeeial)
There is probably no form of untruth
which Is as vicious as that of figures $
remarked an official of the national bu-
reau of statistics at Washington, be
statistical form as being mathemati tically
correct, never stopping to observe the au-
thenticity of the figures or to observe ex-
actly of what they are statistics
Thus, there has been a set of statistics
regarding lunacy going the rounds which,
while true, so far as they CO. tell only
a portion of the truth. The result is that
the impression made by these figures is
that the whole nation is lapsing into lun-
acy and that within 80 years sane man
will be freak fit for dime museum
"An on their face the conclusion from
these statistics appears inevitable. Thus
at the present time the number of luna
tics is placed at more than 100000 Eight
years ago there were but 10000 in the
country, and in 1890. IA years earlier, there
were but 1900, while 10 years earlier than
that in 1880. there were less than 10000
Thus while population has not doubled
in the last 80 years our lunatics have in
creased hvefold d-according to statistics
and the ratio of increase in the last nine
years has been even greater proportion
ately than that.
THE trouble with these figures is this.
That the earlier statistics compiled in the
sos represent only the lunatics in state asy-
lums, taking no note of those in private
those of 20 years ago, while
embracing many private institutions for
the insane. took no account of individ-
uaIs in private charge outside of both
public and privatA asylums, while the lat
est statistics include lunatics of every
kind throughout the country. All that
these statistics really mean, therefore,
is that their compilation has been much
more thorough Of late years. Naturally.
the proportionate number of lunatics has
appeared to incree Sc in a most startling
degree.

THE FOOLS PRAYER

The royal feast was done; the king
Sought some new sport to Danish
care,
And TO his jester cried: Sir Fool,
Kneel now and make for us a
prayer"
The Jester DOTTED his cap and bells
And stood the hooking court be-
fore;
They could not see the bitter smile
Behind the painted grin he wore.
He bowed his head and bent his
Upon the monarchs silken stool;
His pleading voice arose: 20 Lord,
Be merciful to me, a fool!
mo pity, Lord, could change the
heart
From red with wrong to white as
wool;
The rod must heal the sin; but
Lord,
Be merciful to me, a fool!
'Tis not by guilt the onward sweep
OF truth and right, o Lord, we
stay;
IT'S by our follies that SO long
We hold the earth from Heaven
away.
These clumsy feet, still in the
mire,
Go crushing blossoms without end;
These hard, well meaning hands we
thrust
Among the heartstrings Of friend.
THE ill.timed truth we might have
kept
Who knows how sharp it pierced
and stung?
The world we had not sense to say
Who knows how grandly it had
rung!
Our faults no tenderness should ask
The Christening stripes must cleanse
them all;
But for our blunders-Oh, in shame
Before the eyes of heaven we fall.
Earth bears no balsam for mistakes,
Men crown the knave and scourge
the tool
That did his will; but thou, o Lord,
Be merciful to me, a fool.
The room was hushed. In silence
The king, and sought his gardens
cool,
And walked apart and murmured
n low:
BE merciful to me, fool"
