With rain predicted. a field OF hay
lay smiling to the Sunday sun. A
farmer. fearing loss Of his crop if he
delayed the harvest, went into the
meadow with his moving machine
and began to cut the fragrant stalks.
He was annoying nobody. No
neighbor lived near. He could not
be seen from the road. His mind was
at peace. His thoughts were not ir-
reverent. The quiet JOY of honest
toll was upon him as a benedictiOn.
But a constable came and arrested
him. The state was Pennsylvania
and he had broken a blue law.
In the cities men were conspiring
on Sunday-conspiring on ways to
separate that farmer from his money.
They weren't arrested. In the sub
urbs of the cities other men were
moving lawns or striking at little
balls on golf courses, but no minion
of the law put them to penalty. He,
only, among all the citizens of a great
state was chosen to be the subject of
test arrest. Across two centuries
the long arm of outgrown tradition
stretched to annoy and humiliate the
one citizen Of Pennsylvania whose
Sunday labor was least affected with
public interest.
Such is the way most Anticipated
laws are worked.
A good idea is the proposal that all
laws contain clauses repeating them
selves automatically every generation
unless deliberately re-enacted.
Thus may today escape the clutch
OF the dead hand.

THE AMERICAN STANDARD.

The testimony OF Miss Mary Nc
Dowell in the labor investigation now
ia progress in Chicago was plea for
the American standard Of living.
Miss Mcdowell is head resident Of the
University OF Chicago settlement
she is familiar with labor conditions
and living conditions among working
people.
Not to have enough wages to live
on according 10 the American stand
ard Of living is a terrible thing. said
this witness II is the cause OF the
present unrest in the labor world.
Down in my district" said Miss Nc
lowell. "the people are crowded into
four small rooms without any con-
veniences. That's a standard below
which no American family will go
The commissioner Of health tells
them they must Kill the flies and the
babies must have certified milk Well

be expected to supply certified milk.
and 1t takes money 10 get window
screens and ice"
This statement illustrates the diff
ference between the American stand
ard OF living and the standard that
prevails among working people. The
American standard calls for sanitary
homes. uncrowded conditions. ice,
pure milk, good food. comfortable
clothing, reasonable leisure and rec
reation. some Of the good things Of
life besides work IL calls for edu-
cation, moral training and refining
Influences but this standard can

low in the slough Of despond into
which ne is cast by his grinding en-
ployment.
The American standard is irrevoca-
bic. The American people could not
get away from it If they should de-
sire to. II is fixed and Interchangeable,
il is an outgrowth of the tempera-
ment and character Of the American
people. and it is justified by the vast
resources and wealth OF the country.
only the selhshness Of man can pre-
vent all the people OF the United
States from living up to 1t according
