YES, 1T PAYS.-Does it pay en-
pIoyers to pay a living wage? A lot
of them might tell us it does not, but
Sunday at the strikers meeting at
Cohan's Grand Opera House the gen
tIeman representing Hart, Schaffner
& Marx said the work over there is
of higher standard than it was five
years ago before the other garment
strike.
Some of the pictures shown on the
screen which showed the starvation
wages paid by some of the concerns
were an outrage to the community
To me it looks as if Chicago is in New
England's class in paying unskilled
and unorganized labor. The pay en-
velopes shown on the screen and the
packers testimony before the O'Hara
wage commission that they pay the
girls working in the greatest stock
yards in the world from 9 to II cents
an hour is disgrace. A minimum
wage for the unskilled labor classes
in this state must come soon.
Mr. Walkers statement should be
taken very seriously. He said fight
your enemies at the polls, vote
against them at primary and election.

ALL RIGHT!-The editor put one

letter, Advises Free Love-" l have
not spoken of love and won't want it
to play part in my proposition at

may find it absurd, but it is my con-

rare as sun eclipse. In this agree
with our present marriage law.
Lawmakers may be cruel some
times; they are wise also, and, fortu-
nateIy, they are philosophers besides.
The marriage law does not use the,
word love, but affection. This word
explains the feelings that are sup
posed to exist between married peo-
pie. The common expressions, II
love him dearly" and 81 love her so
much" are unjust. The expression
ought to be: 81 feel affection for her
or him."
l agree with st. Paul's description
of love in l. Cor, Is. He felt its value
better than the churches. The prom
Use ''to love and cherish" by the man
and ''to love and obey by the wom-
an, asked them by the church, de-
notes the moral standard of the lat
ter. Love is a very precious thing
which one can buy only at a great
sacrifice of personal habits, as self
ishness, egotism, vanity, jealousy,
envy, etc. We feel admiration for
beauty, passion for sex, pity for the
weak, respect for the strong, esteem
for nobility of character, thankful
ness for kindness. These expressions
of sentiment may result in affection
while love is at large.

NEW BAGGAGE LAW IN FORCE
Travellers Must Now Declare Value Of
Their Luggage.

Beginning June the travelling man
or woman who carries more than $100
worth of baggage on railroad jour
ney will have to pay the freight.
This is required by the Cummins
amendment to the rate act which pro-
hibits railroad from making any linn
itation on its liability in either the
transportation of baggage or freight.
Under tariffs filed with the Com
merce Commission by the Baltimore
and Ohio, Pennsylvania and other rail
roads, travellers hereafter will be re-
quired to declare value of their bag
gage Forms for the purpose will be
supplied by the railroads.
If the baggage is valued at more
than $100 the traveller will be required
to pay 10 cents for each excess unit of
S100 or fraction thereof. This may re
suit in a good many complaints TO the
railways, but they are in position to
lay it on the law.
