The general plan Is modern and
striking, but does not follow any par

standard" This standard. ne ex-
planned. is that condition which ac-
.quiesces as matter Of course in the
proposition that the workers should
work as much as possible and as long
as their physical endurance will per-
nit for as little remuneration as will
keep them and their families alive
and not subject them TO the criticism
Of being indecent. On the other
hand. ne said. quoting from the press
report. il is that condition which rec
Ognizes as just that those who do
little or no work should get the larg-
est remuneration.
There is considerable husk 70 this
statement. but it contains a kernel
just the same The meat Of it is that
human labor has been reduced TO the
state OF a commodity to be purchased
in the market at competitive prices
regardless OF it's earning power. In
other words. a workman is paid not
for what he earns. but what he can
command in open market under the
system in vogue The market price
of labor and not its earning power is
considered.
There are individual instances in
which employers have broken away
from this unjust method Of compen-
sation. but as a general proposition
the old system continues to prevail
and probably will until as a matter Of
conscience or OF pressure employers
are persuaded to discard the double
/ standard

\ CENTURY OF PEACE

The treaty OF Client. 90 be celebrat-
cd the coming winter by Great Britain
and the United States. was bOtched
piece OF diplomacy. but it served to
end the war Of 1912 and laid the
foundation for one hundred years OF
peace between the two countries. It's
very Incompetence is a testimony to
the fraternity Of feeling among Eng
lish speaking peoples.
The document was more remarka-
BILE for what it did not provide than
for what was explicitly stated. but il
which both nations had become weary.
Great Britain had passed through
twenty years Of strife and having
brought the Napoleonic wars to a
close. was hungry for peace The
United States had all the worst OF
the war OF 1912 and was menaced by
the army which had conquered Ma
poIeon. II was. therefore, a treaty
Of expediency on both sides.
In the conference at Client the
lHlLtu States was ItlIA tctiAttu ny ooiAAC

James A Bayard Henry Clay. Jono-

right OF blockade, trade with the In

other questions were silently passed
over. and it has taken the two nations
a hundred years 10 dispose Of them

A feature of the celebration of a
century of peace will be a banquet at
Client on January next. with the
same menu and the same toasts as at
the banquet at the conclusion of the
banquet a hundred years before. The
British celebration will begin Christ

ance in the United States will occur
February IA next. As peace memo
rails it is proposed 10 build magni-

a similar bridge or subway between
Detroit and Windsor.

doing IFS best-whatever that means.
Its success is hoped for since 1t will

The course proposed by the attorney
general is 10 proceed at once with
the legal dissolution of the New

prosecution Of the men who created
it. The administration is determined
that the law shall be enforced. and
that if any OF the officials Of the
company. present or past. are guilty
of criminal acts they shall be pun

This. the New Haven people will
