THE DAISY.

THE DAISY.
Bright flower, whose home is everywhere
wherei
A pilgrim bold in Natures care,
And oft, the long year through, the heir
OF joy or sorrow,
Methinks that there abi1es in thee
Some concord with humanity,
Given to no other flower see
The forest through!
And wherefore? Man is soon depressed;
A thoughtless thingi who, once unblest
Does little on his memory rest,
Or on his reason;
But thou wouldst teach him how to find
A shelter under every wind.
A hope for times that are unkind
And every season.
Thou wanderest this wide world about
Unchecked by pride scrupulous doubt,
With friends to greet thee, without,
Yet pleased and willing;
Meek, yielding to the OCCASIONS call,
And all things suffering from all
Thy function apostolical
In peace fulfilling.
William Wordsworth.

WHOLE THEORY WRONG.


The theory that there would be a
minimum wage law for women, or for
anybody else for that matter, is mis-
take. If the minimum wage theory is
enforced and wages for women fixed
at the figures talked of, the result win
inevitably be detrimental to the women
workers AS rule, women are en-
ployed because they work for less
wages, and if the employer has to pay
high wages in any event. he will take
men for his work, and the women will
be out of a job.
But the whole theory of minimum
wages Is wrong. Every worker ought
TO De paid what he or she earns, And
10 say that every one earns the same
wages is to assume that which every
one knows is absolutely wrong In
Doth theory and practice. For the law
10 say that a woman or girl shall be
pa1o a certain amount of money re-
garoless of her efflciency-fs to take the
9oo sne mas away from her unless she
is capable of earning the amount the
law says shall be the minimum
wage for her. Such law would work
wrong TO the women and girls them
serves, Tor many would lose all arnbi-
tion and do just as little work as pos
slple, knowing that they would get
TAIN wages no matter what amount
VI work they did. 1t is true that as a
RUE women are not paid sufficient
wages; very few of us get what wa
ehulleu TO ger. You know that
yourself, and yet the minimum wage
ldea can not be applied to all branches
OF business. and to undertake to apply
IL only to female workers would be
discrimination that business interests
could not stand.-Lawrence Gazette.
