A City That Makes Money.
(Phi1a q elDhia Le1g

New England thrift is notorious, but it is something besides thrift that has enable the Boston City club to close it's fiscal year with a net profit of $27,011.S4. This club, which is one of the most remarkable orga niza tiOns in the country, deserves the con
 sideratiOn of Philadelphians. It was chartered a few years ago for the purpose of bringing together in a common meeting place men repre- senting all the social and business in terests of the community so that they might rub elbows and prepare for working together for the improve ment of the city. It first met in a rented house, but it became so large and prosperous that a year ago it planned to erect a clubhouse of it's own. The building is rapidly near ing completion, and when finished it will be one of the finest structures of it's kind. The publicspirited men who underWrOte the club in the be- ginning financed the new building, which, with its site, will cost $75O,
 900, and arranged for the payment of the bonds in installments. The an nual dues were only $12 when the club started. They have since been raised to s15. As there are nearly 5000 members, the income from the dues is tidy sum, but every depart ment is run at a profit. The rcstau
 rant cleared S12,O00 last year, $5,000 was made from the cigar stand and the billiard room was run for $2,500 less than the receipts. But, best of all, the effect of the organization upon public sentiment is so wholesome that the men who were behind it's or
 ganization would have continued to underwrite it even if it had not proved itself more than self-sustaining.

What Does a Man Produce?
Philadelphia Record. )

Philadelphia Record.) Among the banners of the unem- ployed in New York when they came in collision with the police was one reading: We Want All We Pro- duCe.'' ... .t
 There is a common impression among sociaiistic .Workmen encour- aged by some of the neW-fangled col lese professors that the weaver pro- duces all the cloth that comes off the loom he tends, and he is robbed of his wages are only a part of the value of the cloth. But he is only
 one of a long line af producers, each of whom has to get some of the money for which the cloth is sold. There was farmer who grew the raw fiber. There was a railroad that transported the fiber. There was a
 long list of workmen who did various things in the preparation of that fiber. It took several classes of men to con- vert that fiber into yarn. Some men dug the coal and a railroad hauled it. It took good many men con- sidera ble time to build the loom, and
 the engine and the mill, and all of them have got to be paid. The men who have paid all these previous classes of workers may reimburse themselves out of a part of the pro- ceeds of the bolt of cloth without committing any robbery. What are the dividends but the reimbursement of the people who have paid the miners and mechanics and builders for their work before the cloth was sold
 The report of the controller of the currency shows that the average re- turn on all the shares and bonds of all the corporations in the United States was 4.3 per cent. That doesn't look unreasonable. It isn't very much more than savings bank interest Of course, some corporations make very much more, but many must make nothing in order to bring the aver age down to 4.3 per cent. Besides, there are few bonds that do not pay 40 per cent. or more, so that the average return on the shares, which represent the ownership of the mills and factories, would be less than 4.3 per cent.
 What does a man produce? Well, put man With only his bare hands upon a spot of earth, or in mine hole, or by the side of a stream, and how much will he produce? What are the chances that he will not starve to death before he can produce any thing? Give him tools. and grub stake him, in mining lingo, or sup port him until he has produced some thing and it has been marketed and the produce of other men has been given him and they have got to be paid for their produce in some way. The man in question cant have all he produces without defraudine the men who produce the tools and food which he used during the time he was getting his product made, or ex- tractcd.

Mir. Sunday Again.
(New York Times.)

When Mir. William Sunday says harsh things about the morality of New York he is merely obeyng an impulse which at divers times moves many talkative men who are not res idcnt here. Abuse of New York is common all over the country, and the town has thrived on it. New Workers will not think less of sunday for re- wiling their abiding place, but they will not care much for his choice or arTan~ementa uf words. Sunday is both profane and vulgar while his abuse of hyperbole deprives his ut terances of balance. Printed reports of his speeches read like a lot of ill.,

War, the Outlaw.
(New York World. }

The laws of war seem to be what those who levy war choose to make them. Governments enter into sol emn agreements to mitigate the hard ships of strife, but in time of war there is no army officer who cannot get aside their work on the plea of necessity.
 Most of the atrocities reported from the scenes of hostilities in Europe had their origin in a common clrcum- stance. Non-cOmbatants protected their families and homes. Because they were not in uniform when they fired upon the duly apparelled enemy they were treated as outlaws. In fight no quarter was given them. If captured they were executed. This brutal and cowardly military law sup planted the law of humanity and courage.
 Yet these uniformed and properly commissioned heroes do not hesitate to make war upon civilians. They go up in the air and drop bombs upon defenseless cities. They strew the open Seas with mines. They bonn bard towns without notice They approach unfortified coasts in the night and with their shells carry death to women and children not one of them in uniform. They rake cathedrals and hospitals and kill and maim these whose garments suggest only piotN and mercy.
 This is no indictment of any one nation. It applies to militarism in general. Let those who will attCm pt to fix the blame in particular in stances. The 1c>c:nn cact is that war in the twentieth century lccn"- uizeG nc iaW. It is as hrJtHi aH t is unfair and craven,
 What a pity it is that so many brave men are called upon to sacri- flee themselves in support of an in StitutiOn so unW worthy.

Troubles of New City.

Bristol, like Manchester, is having growing pains" When a town which haS been going along in a slip shod fashion for years finds it neces- sary to tighten up it's business meth ods and systematize it's administra tiOn it encounters opposition from tax payers who are affected adversely by the changes. While the authorities have no desire to injure anybody. they have to consider the greatest good to the greatest number and in so do- ing they are sometimes compelled to bear rather heavily on individuals who, often through no fault of their own, stand in the way .sf this policy. Bris- toPs trouble just now is over building lines. The residents of a street ask the council to establish a building line and then some individual property owner on the street bobs up and oD- poses it on the ground that he will be damaged. The mayo and Coun- cilmen have been so cXasperated ty these objections and claims for dam ages that they have about made up their minds to stand a lawsuit and have it determined by the courts once and for all what their rights really are.

The Dead Soldier.

tozora S. Davis in the Advance.) Before Liege the ground is waste and torn; Upon the field, stark dead, a soldier lies; His uniform is red and rent ana Woih H. The dust is blown across hls sisht- - less eyes That stare as they met death III
 swift surprise. The soldiers hands have stiffened in
 their grip,
 One on his gun. the other on the
 ground; The curl of hate is on his livid lip; For him the bursting shell shall
 make no sound;
 Unnamed, unmarked shall be his
 burial-mound. Glad was the heart of the mother As she cuddled her boy to rest And his tiny hands pressed warmly The wealth of her ample breast. Proudly she saw him toddle From table to kitchen chair And she marked how the sunshine
 gilded
 With splendor her baby's hair.
  Kings and commanders. say! For the baby's hands are stiffened In death at Liege today. Beside his bench the sturdy workman His tools gre wielded by his stalwart
 shands, His products win the wealth of far
 off Ia ndS Rejoicing in his tasks, he tolls and
 sings, He builds the commonwealth of use-
 full things That undergirds the passing pomp of
 kings. Today before Liege those hands are
 cold; A tide of murder OCT the meadows
 rolled. And peaceful labor's funeral knell
 was tolled. Warm were the winds of April, Soft was the summer night, As the pair of village lovers Strolled in the waning light. Fair was their shining vision, Good were the waiting years, And neither had room to harbor Forecast of bitter tears. Simple and true and tender, Loving and unafraid,
 In the village among the mountains The workman won the maid. Never again the pressure,
 Never the close, warm breath; The hands of the brave young hus-
 band
 Are stiff in the chill of death. It was a fortnight yesterday When the glittering regiment marched
 away. A trembling woman stood close by, Holding him up, so high, so high. Her laughing boy, that father might
 wave His last fareWoll-so bravei so brave! To lad and mother. too proud to cry. Swinging his hand: Good bye-Good
 bye. Hands that waved to mother and
 child Clutch at the rifle, by blood defiled. Is it worth while? Let the orphan
 say, This is the price that the red kings

\ Proposed 'suTaut industry"
(IndianapoliS Ncws.)


 Careful reading of the full report which an Investigating committee made to the New York section of the American chemical society confirms the belief that the chemical industry in this country is clinging to opinions which most other people seem to have outgrOWn. The committee was ap- pointed to inquire into the feasibility of expanding the chemical and dye stuff business. The investigators were all men of standing in their pro- fession, thoroughly qualified to judge the business from within They went fully into the situation, scanned the present industry in this country, studied the lists of contraband, and obtained data from abroad. They found that, in a number of instances, the importation of chemicals and dyestuffs had been stopped, but they also found that, to meet some of these needs, American manufacturers had expanded their operations. Indeed, it appears that some plants which had been shut down, are being re- opened to meet this extraordinary de- mand.
 But at this point the chemical in
 
 the committee, "it be desired, and if public necessity requires the in- troduction of the manufacture of OK plosives and further chemicals and dyestuffs into our home industry, such as coaltar product explosives, pharmaceuticalS, mediCinalS and other intermediates and finished coal tar dyes, then alterations of our tariff law are inevitable, and the consum- CTS in the first place and the public in general must share in the burden thus imposed" In brief the com mittee would view the American chemical industry as an infant in dustry' and would accord to it all the advantages which monopoies in the making have enjoyed.
 A further remedy, the committee believes, would be "an effective anti dumping clause that would certainly prevent underselling of domestic manufacturers in the United States by unfair meth ods." The whole theory is based on absolute protection, it being assumed that the history of the industry in this country-even under such protection sts has been afforded-revcals a demand for more protection in order to prosper. "Oncc established" the committee declares, such an industry could develop and ultimately cope With any foreign combination upon fair and equal terms.
 It all depends on the viewpoint ru+ 1&c infant industry' is a dead industry in this country. Absolute protection and industrial nursing have been outgroWn. Present times re- quire newer business methods. If the chemical and dye manufacturers are too timid to seize what appears to many to he an exceptional indus try, they cannot be forced 10 do so.

The statement of the New Britain Herald, to the effect that the public will need more proof than it already has before it will ''accept any belief tkat the new governor it to be rid den over rough shod by the legisla- ture,' imposes no more confidence in him than democrats and republi
 cons alike have manifested both be- fore and since his election. But it should be remem bered that the gov ernor's power is no greater this year than it has been in other years; that
 be is but one and that his veto can- not trig the wheels of an eight-cyl-
 inder legislature Rough -shod or
 non-skid, the present legislature can
 not be stopped by the governor from
 overriding the governor if it takes
 a notion to do so,-Hartford Times.
