INFORM THE EDITOR.

One of the most difficult of the
editors jobs Is to get facts about
births, marriages and deaths. People
seem to think he ought to know these
things by intuition. If not that, the
birth, marriage or death is OF such
Importance in the immediate family
that 1t is presumed the editor will
be informed by some wireless or just
grow into the information. Then, when
the paper comes out, and no mention
Is made of the event, the editor is
blamed for not running a good news
paper or not getting all the news. Re-
member there are good many people
in this county. If the editor knew
each Of them by name, besides their
family history and the chief events
in the lives of every individual, he
wouldn't be an editor. He'd be a
demi- god, resting his feet on a cloud
and slipping ambrosis instead of inhabit-
ing a broken-down office chair and
wondering where the money for the
next white paper bill is coming from.
The life of the average newspaper man
Is a gay one. Gathering news Is Sec
ond nature to him. like picking his
teeth with the office pen and cussing
the office towel. Just the same, there's
limit to his omniscience. Last week,
we thought of million. eight hundred
and forty nine thousand. three humid
red and sixty four things of Importance.
besides couple of hundred small items
unworthy of mention. And it was a
slow week. We're anxious for news
for the paper. and 1t won't put you
out much to drop by the office or
telephone us what's happening at your
house. Then II the item doesn't get
in the paper, you have right to come
down and kick the stuffing out OF the
cat. Otherwise, don't blame us.

WORKING FOR COMPLETE REUNION.


The Rev. DR.. Henry w. Temple, mem
Der of the faculty OF Washington and
jefferson College, Pennsylvania, says
that. in 1872 he was one of the four
million Republicans who voted the
Progressive ticket. In that year DR..
Temple was elected to congress, as a
Progressive, from the twenty fourth
Pennsylvania district In a recent
letter to a Republican friend, DIR.
Temple describes the Progressive move
meht as mot revolt against Repub-
lican principles" at was" he adds,
"in part protest against certain
abuses that had crept into the old or
ganization and In part a movement to
add to the older Republican principles
certain new policies which would bring
about better social and industrial con-
ditions."
Continuing, DR.. Temple says: MANY
Republicans who believe precisely as
we believe stayed in the old party
and endeavored to correct its abuses
and to work such changes as would
bring the Progressives back to the
Republican ranks. A large number of
the Progressives did go back at the
election of 1914 because they were
dissatisfied with existing industrial
conditions, and many more In Pennsyl-
vania are going back now because the
Republican party in this state has al
ready enacted into law several of the
more important policies called for by
the Progressive platform of 1912.
1.-THE Republican party needs our
votes; 1t is inviting us to come back,
and, 1t seems to me, is ready to come
half way to meet us. With conditions
as they are, l am pleased to see this
movement / am convinced that there
is nothing more important in American
politics than the reunion of these two
parties before 1916. and / intend to do
what i can with propriety to bring
about that reunion"
This Is symptomatic statement
While there may be a few men who
held important positions In the Pro-
gressive party who still believe In the
vitality OF that movement and who will
persist in keeping up an organization
whose weakness grows more evident
from day to day. the great bulk of
Progressive leaders and of the Pro-
gressive rank and file are back In
the Republican party, and, like DR..
Temple. are doing what they can to
bring about complete reunion of the
men who differed in 1912 and whose
differences brought upon the country
its whitening weight of Democratic woe.

LAHoR,s SHARE.

In some one of the speeches which
Vice President Marshall has of late
felt called upon to get out of his
system, he declared that the labor in
the products of its toll amounts to
''less than one-fifth."
This nimble falsehood went plithely
on its way for only brief period; and
II has now been overtaken by the truth
as found by committee OF the Ma
tional Civic Federation, body of
scientific and non-partisan tendencies
and with holy passion for facts
The census of 1900 showed gross
annual product of $2.24O per worker.
This furnished the base-line for the
Civic Federation's investigation, and
the various steps in working out the
facts are interesting to follow. The
S2,240 is gross product. The cost of
materials was $1.395 per worker, which
must be deducted, There is left $1,025
as the product per worker Deducting
taxes. insurance. royalties and so on,
the product falls to $3.50 per worker,
and OF this amount $500 and not s437
went to the worker and $299 to capt.
tal--66.4 per cent TO labor and 1915
per cent to capital. But plant must
be allowed a depreciation charge, which
at per cent Is given as $124 per
worker. This leaves $764 to be divid-
ed, or practically so per cent to labor
and 20 per cent to capital as interest
and profits.
In other words, Mr.. Marshall had
the figures right. but he put them
in the wrong place. His ''less than
one-fifth'' Is the share of capital in
the product of the country; while
four times as much goes to labor.
The Civic Federation is now engaged
In study of census returns of a
later date than those OF 1900, and 1t Is
interesting to know that these demon
strate that labor's share In the product
OF the country Is increasing. The chief
cloud upon this bright outlook now is
that. owing TO the tariff laws which
reduce or obliterate the protection to
American labor. labor's opportunity to
produce anything but ..war materials
is becoming most seriously curtailed.
1t is obvious that 1t makes no differ
ence what labor's share Of the product
is II labor has no opportunity to pro-
duce.

The government mortuary figures
show that the country has more ty-

These same figures also show that
small towns are less healthful and
more unsanitary than actual rural COM

These towns of from several hun
