you allow it to be built by your environ

The death of J. PierpoRt Morgan, reputed to be one of the richest men in the United States, leaves this country without a man who proved himself a financial genius He has been money maker always from tho days of his youth and his estate it is believed will show a value of five Eun- dred million dollars. While during his recent years he has been criti- cised along with the other rich, ye. Mir. Morgan on several occasions came to the rescue of this country when it's people were in dire finan- cial distress. The last instance of this kind was in 1907 when he checked panic which promised to be the most damaging and destructive of fortunes which ever visited this country. It was Morgan that devised the method and provided the means for preserving the credit of the country during the Cleveland admin ,stration in 1893.
 Now that this rich man is dead we predict that it will be haIder to pick out his faults than during his life time. His passing away showed no disturbance in financial circles or in he stock markets which shows that his vast fortune was in perfect con dition and in hands who will con tinue it's administration much the same as before his death.

DIFFICULTY ABOUT DIPLOMATS.

The trouble which the present ex { ccutive has in getting the proper
 kind of men to accept the more i'm. | portant diplomatic posts is sure to
 confront every president until the salary attached to these offices Is largely increased, or until residences are provided for them by -he govern
 ment The post of the highest dis. tinction in our diplomatic roll is, of course, that of London, but our lat est ambassador there, Whitelaw Reid, paid double his salary for rent for his residence While this scale of living
 is kept up by our representatives at the great foreign capitals, che range of choice in their selection must be restricted to men Of wealth. Two or three men who had been selected for it by President Wilson have declined, and apparently on this account.
 In the past, however, we were cap ably represented at the British court by some men who lacked great riches. Charles Francis Adams. who served there in Iinooln's days, wac not V ealthy. Nor were Motley. the his torian; James Russell Lowell oI Thomas P. Bayard, who were there later on. But the necessity, or as suIned necessity, for display by ouE representatives at the great capitals in more recent times is burden on lhe purse of all except men of large
 means. and thus the range of choic=
 by presidents is narrowed. Many at. tempts have been made in congress in recent days to increase the allow. anees for our diplomats, but all have
 failed. Here is where the weaithiest Of all rhe nations shows less senseI than do many Of the poorer countries.
 The Panama Canal tell dispute ren
 dcrs it imperative that man of ths' first rank in ability and tact be sen; to London. The country would like, tc see a man sent there of the caliber cf Adams of the Civil War days, orl of Motley, who held the post during the controversy regarding the Cor
 federate privateer. Alabama, bull. and manned in England, which .ded stroyed our commerce to the extent Of millions of dollars. The AiabarnnI dispute lasted several years. and wal at last settled by the Geneva srbl trators, who awarded the United states s15,5eo. .oeo. to be paid by

ment store employing 5000 women pre- dicted in his testimony. Nr. siegel said: If the minimum wage of s2 ! day for women were put into efIeet, women would be driven from business places and men would take their places"
 Such 6 wage would be $626 a year and that is higher than the average wages of men as shown by a census report The result would be to throw hundreds of women on the streets that now have employment. There is as much danger in fixing a minimum wage for women that is too high. as one that is too low. There are certain economic laws that will override all enaetments of the legislatures and congress.
 To produce the desired effects there must be legislation along differ, ent lines-legislation that will take from the backs of women the thou sands who have ridden 10 power through special privileges. A mini mum wage. not too high. would bring relief in some instances but permal nent relief for all must come through the line of legislation that reformers have been fighting for the last twen- ty years.

PERMANENT RELIEF.

There IS an obvious difficulty, from the economic standpoint. in enacting a minimum wage for women alone. The only thing that can be taken account of from the point of view Of the economist. is the value of the labor of the employe. and sex cannot enter into the question It would ob- viously be wrong. as vel as inef- fsctive to enact law that would force larger payment to women for the same services than is paid to men.

SUGGESTIONS AS TO LAWmAKiNe.

IAwMAKiNG.
 Dissatisfaction with the lawmakfng machinery of the country. congress as well as state legislatures. is frequent. ly heard. and suggestions have been made as to the remedy
 A New Jersey assemblyman has suggested remedy. He would divide the legislative session inta three per iods. In the first thirty days business would be confined to the introduction of bills. Then the legislature would take a recess for thirty days to give the members and the public time to study the measures introduced. After that would come their consideration and disposition and to this period he would fix no limit.
 The plar would prevent the intro duction and passage of tius in the closing days of the session when in the press of business they escape care ful scrutiny; it would lessen the possibility of sneak bills, and would at least give the people ample oppor- tunlty for aequainting themselves with the measures before the legislature, whether they availed themselves of the privilege mot.
 Referring to this plan, as well as to the subject generally of improving present methods, the Newark (N. J9 News says:
 With more care devoted to law making, it is probable the courts would find less to do in interpreting the laws and settling their constitu, tionality. In his recent veto of the Webb bill, President Taft gave cor gress a mild scolding for passing jaws of doubtful constitutionaiity, and then putting the responsibility on the courts. But. that is what congress and the state legislature have always 6one and will continue to do until we reverse our present system. One common-sense plan would be to have the bills passed upon by the supreme court before they become laws, as has Leen dcne, for example. in the state of Maine. Then no rights could be injuriously affected under them, and Q vast amount of expense would be saved to the state and to individuals. | Under this method there would be fewer complaints as to courts cxer- oising legislative powers since there would be less possibility of a law once passed being declared unconsti tutional.
 Another alternative, perhaps one that would include also the purpose of the former, would be the creation of a legislative reference and law drafting bureau. Such agencies ars al | ready in operation by the progressive party, have been provided for in Wis consin by the use of the state univer- sity. and have been suggested by con gress, ard by GoveTnor Cox of Ohio. The whole tendency is working to- ward honest. just and scientific Iegis- lation: which is. ipso facto. constitu- tionai.
