The Two Halves of the World

That may have been at time but thanks the newspapers each half is pretty well informed to the movements and ditons of the other half Very recently nearly all the newspapers in this country printed a statement that the young of the late John Jacob Astor three years old needed s2OOOO year for existence. On the same day and on the page of of some papers, may be it just happened in the makeup though perhaps the juxtaposition arranged by design there printed decision by the New York health department that family of five could get along on S73l d week
 There would be better feeling least, there would be less il-feeling between the halves of the world if they did not know much about each other these two items of disclosed But ig- norance is not a for anything and perhaps, of the dissatisfaction. bitterness and heart-burnng which will with that information the halves of the world will be brought together terms more nearly equal.
 We would not deprive the young Mr. Astor of any of the comforts and necessities that his $2OOOO year procure for him but would demand that the other half of the world be given comforts and necessities than $7.S1 a week can buy for a family of five.
