would have a sure guide.
Another right that is due the labor
ing man grows out of this economic
fact: If the people can get things
done for nothing they will not pay to
have them done. Necessity at times
forces a man to sell his labor for al
most nothing and too many peopfe are
prone to take advantage of his adver-
sity. In the face of this circumstance
would it not be well to standardize
wages in the harvest field to the extent
of a minimum wage, at least. This
may appear like a suggestion to farm
ers to combine and set the wage to
suit themselves. I would not give
them such power. The matter could
be managed by a wage commission
whose duty would be to arrange a
minimum wage scale that would give
the workingman a fair compensation
for his labor and at at the same time
do justice to the farmers. Under pres
ent conditions the shifting laborer is
helpless, having no united strength.
The introduction Of a standard wage
scale would prevent men leaving one
harvest field and heading for another
because of promised higher wages
with the consequent congestion Of Ia

appeals ana whitening invective against "the
sum of all vllainies, the crime of crimes the
dirtiest, most .damnable business top of this

For generations this subject has been stir

Mathew won many thousands by his fervent
campaigns. John n, Cough and Neal Dow,
Francis Murphy and Frances +. Willard and
other champions of abstinence cXerted a ire

Such appeals theirs are still potent in Gre

All that can be said against liquor on relig-

lies in the fact that * is based upon n realiza-

LET Us HAVE NIGHT SCHOOLS.

Of her citizens to educate themselves II the
law Of Virginia does not permit nigh; schools
for men, or does not permit TO attend night
schools, that law should be chansed. The plain
right OF the situation is the side Of the stu

night after they have done good days work In
business and doubtless wearied in mind and

to such an age before getting an education? In
some it may he their own, but In many
others 1t may be the fault of society and eco

4 WEEKS HARD WORK,

Meeting today under the agreement by which
1t recessed the intention OF the Legislature Is
to spend week in perfecting the system Of
taxation based on the separation principle. That
intention can bea made reality II the individual
members In serious fashion confront the task
before them. We believe that the only trouble
encountered In pressing the work through in the
time decided upon xll be the difficulty of per
suading the Legislature that it must waste no
time in useless detaiis but direct Itself solely
to the main task In hand
But If 1t is not found possible TO close the
session this week know OF no constitutional
reason that will inhibt the members from stay,
ing until the work Is completed. II IL true there
will be no pay for the Job and that many men,
bers face serious problem in the single week
that they will necessarily be hera. but no service
that does not entail sacrifice is worthy service
and no State that is not worth sacrificing some
thing for Is worth serving, nor is an unwilling
servant valuable servant.
Let us. therefore gentlemen OF the General
Assembly. do our best to finish this week, but
if we do not finish let lis stay until the work
f. done
