Wages and Wealth.

From the Department OF Labor at Wash
ington comes a report with the interesting I'm
formation that wages have been considerably
advanced In the United States during the last
year. Only one small group has undergone
reduction in wages. Hours OF labor have been
reduced in many trades, following the general
movement In that direction This information is
quite comforting, for II shows that In some
measure the wage rate In the United States is
keeping pace with the general advance of the
living rate. Economists find in prevailing con-
ditions encouragement for the future.
The question OF production and distribution
is taking on new phases with each advance in
mans capacity. Mans wants are steadily ex-
banding, his tastes becoming more exact
Ing and his ambition more embracing. Produc-
ton may have met the requirements OF yesterday,
perhaps OF today, but certainly not Of tomor-
row. Man wants more, and to get It he must
create It, Therefore. the question Of produc-
ton is not settled, nor will Il be until man no
longer nourishes an unsatisfied desire.
Distribution is coming, In America, at least
to be on better basis, for the good things of
life are here being passed around with less ex-
clusiveness. Just as man develops, his needs
become harder to satisfy, and his energy must
be more and more highly specialized to meet
those needs Wages and wealth so hand in hand,
and while the old wage fund" theory may have
been discarded, the relation between the two
is not seriously disturbed

Armsnians and America.

Terrible tales of Armenian slaughter by
the Turk again come to the public notice in
tits country, accompanied by appeal that
the United States intervene to protect this peo-
PIE from threatened determination. II only part
OF the atrocities reported we're founded on fact,
the case would be a most desperate one, SO far
az the Armenians are concerned. That their
hsrdships are an incident of the war Is also
true When the Turk entered the world conflict.
the perpetuslly precarious situation OF the
Christians in the Near East was made extremely
perilous and IT was understood that the world
would be shocked by tales OF murder and rapine
from the regions where the Mosem Was unre-
strained in his control. But the other nations
OF Europe are directly chargeable with the pres
once OF the Turk in his position In Armenia and
elsewhere. and have been for these last five cen
turtles. II the United States is to enter the world
war II must be with more direct provocation and
for another purpose; the rescue OF the Armenians
is labor for the European powers now en-
gagged in strife

Retirement Of Federal Judges.

Judge Of tho federal district Is permitted
retire at the OF seventy, drawing thereafter the
full pay OF active Judge, which Is 5000 a year
until his DEATH This explains why the Department Of
Justice IS not willing 10 accept Mr.. Bryans
mendation for the appointment Of w II. Thompson
OF Grand Island 10 the vacant Nebraska judgeship
The government would receive only about eight years
OF work and would then be responsible for full
sion for perhaps years than had been devoted
20 active service.-Ilncoln Journal
Just to scotch this piece Of transformation
before IL spreads further. let II be known that
the revised statutes OF the United States fix the
retirement age of federal judges at seventy, but
also require a minimum service OF ten years
If man is appointed 10 the federal bench when
he is sixty-two years old, he is not permitted to
retire until he is seventy-two years old--in other
words, the statutes insist upon ten full years OF
service as prerequisite to a retirement pension.
stu further, the average mans probability OF
life at seventy cannot be figured az much more
than ten years, SO the possibility Of a pension
for longer period than the years Of service is
rather remote. II may be said, however, that
the appointing powers, in making their selection
for judicial places, as a rule, require prospect
OF more than ten years on the bench. which ac-
counts for the reluctance to appoint judges who
would have to serve beyond the age OF seventy
to meet the statutory prerequisite for retire
ment

LatchstrinR for Commercial Club.
OMAHA, Sept. A-To the Editor OF
The Bee: There IL one little innovation
that 1 would sincerely like 10 see made
by our Commercial club. IL is plan that
the Lincoln organization has followed for
some time and which has proved practical
In its working.
Many business men, dealers In oil lines
Of business from out in the state, come
into Omaha each month on business
trips. Oftentimes they arc here for only
a day or possibly a few hours. Most OF
them know OF and would like to visit
the Commercial club. but either do not
know anyone connected with II or cannot
find anyone at that partlc ~ time who
can take them TO the club. Naturally,
they feel some timidity about pressing
themselves into the club rooms. In ad-
dition, It II not possible for these mon
to lunch there unless accompanied by a
club member
The Lincoln Commercial club has
solved this matter by sending reputable
merchants In the state membership cards
and asking them TO uso the facilities OF
the club while in that city. This Is a
matter OF small moment as regards ex-
pense, but II has proved TO be a mighty
popular plan with the out-of-town mer-
chants. There are many who would
utilize the opportunity IL offered TO them,
but mighty few who will beg for It.
