EQUAL PAY FOR EQUAL WORK.

What! Pay woman school teach

any school board can get dozens OF
women applicants for employment at
present wages for every vacancy?
Thus the tories greet the equal

But, getting down to brass tacks,

THE CORNER CARD MONOPOLY

The fight to give printers a share
in the business of printing individual
corner cards on stamped envelopes
and thereby increase their revenues
has been vigorously taken up and
will not be dropped until the condi-
tion of a monopoly, permitted and
even fostered by the government of
the United States through the post
office department, has been wiped
out.
The condition of affairs as they
exist today is a vivid example OF the
working at cross purposes of two diff
ferent departments of the govern
ment, for while the department of
justice is busy with the prosecution
or contemplated prosecution of mo-
nopolies and while congress is per-
spring over the enactment of anti
trust laws to facilitate prosecution of
monopolies, the postoffice depart
ment is working under a contract
with single firm of printers, which
has been granted the sole privilege
of printing the corner card on the
stamped envelopes furnished by the
government.
Even the granting of this contract
would not entirely bar printers
throughout the country from compet-
ing were II not for the clause that
puts upon the postoffice department
the burden OF transporting the en-
velopes with individual corner cards
to the private enterprises or persons
who have ordered them. In other
words, the firm which holds the con-
tract is relieved OF all transportation
charges. How can printers compete
under such conditions?
There remains but one way out,
and that is to heed the odmonition in
The American Press and send a Wig
orous protest to congress. That
body is the only one which can act
in the matter. The government con-
tract with the printing firm ends
next March. 1t is our opinion that
when the attention of the national
Legislature is called to this injustice
to printers there will be n change
by which all printers will benefit.
The plans can be worked out later.
Meanwhile We advise all printers to
protest vigorously.

suCCEssFtL COOPERATION.

The Puyallup Fruit Growers Asso-
citation has set an example to the
whole country of what can be done
by intelligent cooperation among
the farmers. Its payroll for berry
growers and pickers for the week of
July 16 amounted to $37,500. To
harvest the red raspberry crop, which
is now in its prime, $1,000 pickers
are employed. The associations can
merry has orders for 100000 cans
of berries this season. It's business
is growing rapidly in all directions,
and the wealth it is making for the
cooperating farmers seems almost
incredible when it is compared with
the meager returns from old-fash-
ioned, unscientific, individualistic
methods.
The point of the story is that any
other community can do precisely
what Puyallup has done. There is
no mystery whatever about it and
no miracle. 1t requires only a fair
degree of intelligence, a reasonable
amount of kindly feeling among
neighbors and good business ability.
The business ability of Puyallup has
been mainly supplied by Senator
Paulhamus, who founded the asso-
citation and guided it safely through
its early difficulties. There is at
least one man in every community
who, if he would exert his abilities,
could do for his neighbors what Sen
ator Paulhamus has done at Puyal-
lup. Here is a useful career open
to scores of energetic, ambitious men
in all parts of the country. The
wonder is that more of them do not
follow it.-Oregonian.

AN EXAMPLE OF THE SIMPLE
LIFE.

Medical literature tells of woman
in Silesia who became the proud
and busy-mother of sixty-two ba.
bies, all of whom lived to maturity
They came in showers, once six at a
time, often four and five, only one
unitarian.
There were no flats in Silesia, with
children barred. This prolific moth
er lived in the open country, where
the Riddles had room to play and
grow.
Most of the time they went bare
foot. Otherwise pa mightn't have
been able to foot the shoe bills.
They ate the simple fare which was
obtainable from fields and forests
brown bread, nuts, wild fruits, the
flesh and eggs Of domestic fowls,
fish from a friendly stream and
hares and partridges.
Their clothing was homespun, not
fancy but serviceable.
They were not afraid to sleep out
doors.
Theirs was happy examue of the
simple but bounteous life. They
never saw railroad train, street
car, an automobile or an aeroplane,
and when they travelled it was by
that best of ways, shanks' ponies.
But they ate well and slept well
and were strong and hardy; they
were not peevish and fretful and
crazy for a new sensation, for they
had nerves of steel.
They missed a lot of the pleasures
and advantages of civilization, do you
say?
What, for instance?
How much would a multi-million-
aire dyspeptic give, think you, for
health and strength and contentment
like theirs?
How much of the high life that
many of us nowadays live is really
essential?

OLD-FASHIONED LOVE.

A doctor said the other day that
"old-fashioned love" was the best
basis of mating-far better than this
new-fangled fclderol called "eugen-
les"
What was "old-fashioned love-?
In the time of the cave-dwellers II
was to seize by the hair the woman
who piqued your fancy and drag her
to your skin-covered flat in the cliff,
clubbing her if she resisted.
Outdoor living free from the vices
of civilization in those days bred a
race that, though brutal, was hardy.
But you'd hardly want your daugh-
ter to be wooed in that way.
Then came the era of barter-so
many cattle or elephants trunks for
the mate of your choice, she doomed
by pa and ma to the highest bidder.
That, too, was "old-fashioned
love-" and some of it still survives;
but most folks today aren't proud Of
1t.
The truth is that, in love as in
other affairs of life, fashions change.
Each era wants fashion of its own.
So that if the woman of the future,
wishing to escape some of the hard
ships which in past ages have unfair
ly fallen on her sex because of the
greater selfishness of man, should
wish to set up the eugenic fashion,
demanding the health and cleanliness
of her mate which he in all ages has
desired of her, why, it wouldn't be
long until that kind Of love would be
too.
But a better fashion, for the world
do move.

RAILWAYS CURTAIL EXPENSES
500, 900, 900.

Out of the labyrinth Of figures
facts and near-facts on the question
of railway rates, the main points OF
contention have for weeks been slow
ly emerging. President Ripley of the
great Santa Fe system has, with an
admirable appearance of candor
helped to set forth before the coun-
try the point of view of the railway
men in an article in the Atlantic,
says Current Literature. He does not
limit himself to the specific question
of rates, but endeavors to correct
what he feels to be the false position
in general in which the people have
come to regard the railways. He ad-
mits that in the past, up to com
paratively few years ago." the public
did its duty to the railways better
than the railways did their duty to
the public. The public grew rightly
incensed and was justified in taking
vigorous measures" to correct de
plorable" abuses" that characterized
railway management. But the public
has allowed itself to go farther than
was fair, and the railways now have
right to complain that they are
doing their duty to the public better
than the public is doing its duty to
them. AS q result both are suffer-
ing. The country, Mr.. Ripley main
tains, has been feeling the effects,
for the last three years, of the "un-
healthy condition" OF the railway
business. Here he gets down to
some interesting figures. If the rail
ways had expended as much, during
each Of these three years, for opera
ton, additions and betterments as it
was eXpending in 1907, their expend-
itures would have been 100000, 900
larger. If they had spent proportion
ally as much for new railway con-
struction, their expenditures would
have been $SOO,OOO,0OO larger still.
The fact that, instead of increasing
their expenditures as they should
have done to keep abreast of the
growth of commerce, the railways
have actually curtailed expenditures
by 100000, has, we are told,
been one of the main influences for
prolonging the depression of bust
ness.

A CLEAN OF SUNSHINE.

There is to be at least temporary
and partial relaxation of the grip of
hard times on the country. The har-
vesting of the great wheat crop, the
growing promise of a normal yield
of corn, and the increasing prospect
of great crop of cotton, are leading
to a confidence in railway circles
which can already be seen resulting
in orders for the making of new
cars, locomotives and other necessary
equipments. Orders for rails for the
necessary repair of sections which
have been kept only in condition for
light traffic, and new sidetracking
for the accommodation of more cars,
show that the bets possible use is to
be made of the opportunity to repair
some financial losses. More labor is
being employed in steel mills, in car
factories, and on the lines along
which the great crops are to be
hauled.
This is the brighter side of a pic
ture which has for months been
showing none but dark ones. To dis
sipate the darker lines, even if but
temporarily, and while the crops are
moving, is a decided gain, and one
which we are not at all disposed to
undervalue. We have much to offset
in the way of losses. The official
statistics for the fiscal year closing
with June 80 show that nearly one
half of the balance of trade in favor
of the United States during the pre-
ceding fiscal year disappeared during
the one in which the change from
protective tariffs to revenue tariffs,
or to free lists, was made. Putting
the case in another way, our export
trade fell off $250,000,000 during
the last eight months Of that year,
for from June to November the
monthly statements show an increase
in exports. The heavy decrease was
made in p 'actically one-half of the
year covered by the report, or in the
months of January, February, March,
April, May and June.
Our exports will undoubtedly be
swelled by expectations of portions
of the new crops. The continuing
increases in the volume of imports,
however, show a necessary displace-
ment of more or less labor in many
industrial lines. This is shown, too,
in the falling off in manufactured
exports formerly sold abroad, at a
small profit, as surplus products of
labor to be kept in steady employ
ment. In reducing labor cost, the
first element to be cut out has been,
naturally, the export trade, on which
the margins of profits were the
smallest. This has involved the dis
charge of workiRgmen formerly en-
gagged in the making of surplus for
export There has been such a re-
duction in the working forces of
many lines that it is encouraging to
find now the indications of employ
ment for many idle hands, at least
for some months during which the
crops are being moved. 1t is a CLEAN
of sunshine in clouded skies.

WORTH TRYING.

Here is a sentence from Frank
Walshs speech at the recent social
center conference which ought to be
studied:
ITO form the habit Of using the
machinery of democratic assembly
and discussion, which exists in our
system OF common school houses, so
that we shall be able to use our
heads instead of losing our heads
over the economic problem, is a mat
ter of social life and death, of re-
construction or destruction of our 30
ciety, the success or failure Of democ-
racy."
AS chairman of the national COM
mission on industrial relations Walsh
looks ahead. He sees Paint Creek,
Ludlow, Calumet, ominous forerun-
ners of the appeal to force, and he
hopes instead for the appeal to
reason.
History records the sway of force.
But now We have new factorsZfree
schools, the democratic ballot, the
way to free speech If we have sense
enough to take it.
Maybe these will save us.
They're worth trying.

ers and those of large wealth who
always cry for low taxes, though If
we were to revise our taxing system
so as to make privilege pay it's due
share there would be plenty of rev.
enue to pay women teachers as much
as men and do many other just
things as well.
Perhaps that's the real, bedrock
reason for the present discrimination
against women-the fact that many
men and some unwise women don't
want just taxation.
Yes, we're pretty certain it is.

MEASURING SPEED OF LIGHT
Scientists Can Tell With Absobute Ac-
curacy Just How Fast the Rays
Can Travel.

Even in this speed-mad age we can
never hope to equal the speed of light,
which the scientists tell us is 1856, 600
miles a second. If light could not
actually be measured no one would
believe 1t. r
There is a delicate instrument used
in measuring light which throws a
beam Of light upon a revolving disk.
There was some. doubt about the fig
ures obtained in this way until it was
found that when the earth was in
the, part of its orbit nearest to Jupiter
eclipses took place 16 minutes earlier
than when 1t was in the furthermost
part, whereas by all rules Of astrono-
my they should have taken place at
the same minute each time. It is de-
duced from this that the light was
not instantaneous and consequently
took 16 minutes to traverse the diane
ter of the earth's orbit, a distance of
about 200, 900, 900 miles, thus giving to
light a velocity of 1876. 900 miles a sec
ond. which was accurately shown lat.
er by other experiments.

The story of the Sleeping Beauty,
particularly its eastern versions, has
been traced coniecturally, to hypnotic
practices. "A wand or rod often ap-
pears in the eastern tales; placed un'
der the feet of the woman or mac ii
kills or sends to sleep (primitive folk
scarcely distinguish between sleep and
DEATH, under the: head it restores to
life or waking. Sometimes there are
two wands, silver and gold respective
ly. In Scandinavian versions a sleep
thorn~takes the place of the wand. In
Ireland this appears as a pin, and
very. possibly the sleep of the hero
inc of Grimm's "Briar Rose" when the
spindle pricks her, is connected, with
this. In the Arabian story 1t is q
ring placed upon a finger that causes
slumber.
