our New Industrial Conservation.

Robert Sloss in Harper's Weekly:
The supreme court Of the United
States so interprets it, and has sus-
the states to abrogate the common
law defenses in damage suits, in or
der to put an end to the wasteful and
embitterinS legal wrangle between
capital and labor. But though the SUI
preme court may be inclined to in
terpret the police power somewhat
broadly, it is none the less up to-"
the states to employ that power or its
equivalent wisely. Ohios constitutional
convention made provision for a
minimum wage law that would author
ize the legislature to appoint boards
of employers and employees to say
what that wage shall be. The voters
adopted the new constitution last
! fall, and Ohio is the first state to fol-
low the questionable example of the
British parliament But she raises
the new question as to what minimum
standard of efficiency in the worker
| is necessary to earn the minimum
wage. If standard is established,
those who are unable to come up to
Lit will be thrown absolutely out Of
work. 1t will mean that the Ohio
public will have to pay considerably
more for the burden Of unemploy-
ment than at present.
If we need minimum wage law to
prevent pauper labor, we need all the
more a maximum wage law to pre-,
went "gouging." If we are already I'M
der heavy expenses to prevent paup-
er labor" and to "assimilate foreign
ers,' we should be able to say, when
the locomotive engineers and the fire
men demand s32,5o0,000 more year
You are getting on pretty comfort
ably as it is: you can't have raise
unless you prove to us that the bust
ness will stand 1t and that the addi
tional> cost of it won't be passed on

One evening boy came to
his father as he was reading

that he was going to quit learn

nothing interesting in It.
So the father said, You're

leave school?"
Sure" replied the Boy
eagerly, taking for granted that
there was no more geography
for him.
well, here's what business
man writes today and he
turned to an advertisement
about Oriental Rugs, in which
the life of the Orient was Wv
idly portrayed.
What do you think of thatg'
he queried.

Now that's geography" The
boy looked dismayed.

continued the father, than
names of places. You md out

GIVE ALL TO LOVE.
Give all to love;
Obey thy heart;
Friends, kindred, days,
Estate, good fame,
Plans, credit and the Muse
Nothing refuse.
IT'S a brave master;
Let it have scope;
Follow it utterly,
Hope beyond hope;
High and more high
1t dives into noon,
With wing unspent,
Untold intent;
But 1t is a god,
Knows its own path
And the outlets of the sky.
1t was never for the mean;
1t requireth courage stout.
Souls above doubt,
Valour unbending;
Such twill reward
They shall return
More than they were,
And ever ascending,
Leave all for love;
Yet, hear me, yet,
One word more thy heart beloved.
One pulse more of firm endeavor-
Keep thee today,
Tomorrow, forever,
Free as an Arab
OF thy beloved.
Cling with life to the maid,
But when the surprise,
First vague shadow of surmise,
Fits across her bosom young,
OF joy apart from thee,
Free be she, fancy free:
Nor thou detain her vesture's hem,
Nor the palest rose she flung
From her summer diadem,
Though thou loved her as myself,
AS self of purer clay;
Though her parting dims the day,
Stealing grace from all alive;
Heartily know,
When half-gods go
The gods arrive.
