THE AGE LIMIT.

The recent papers contain all sorts of comment wise and otherwise upon the Roosevelt eclipse at Chi cago. The plain truth is that Roosevelt had passed the Age Limit. No longer can he enjoy q fight for fights sake. He is no iou- ger in mood to boss the show. He admits Eis being yanquished. A!La- Eeddon for him has many terrors. He is a has-been. And he cannot come back. The poor old hal he threw in the ring is brimless ana perforated. It would not adorn a 5earccrow, and would not misiGad C! on a foolish bird much less sol2e of those wise daws that control the Old Guard.

UNFIT.

Professor Scott Nearing was dis charged from the Pennsylvania Uni yersity because his social researches as made public by him, and more especially his statements relative to female and child labor, gave ot- fense to Big Business. Now there was nothing either exceptionally radical or exceptionally revolution ary about Scott Hearings views and he could hardly be termed a mild socialist. But-"give a dog bad name and hang him.. The other day when Professor Nearing was to lecture before the Toledo House wives League an invitation was cx- tended to the. councilmen of the city to hear him. Thereupon sad one of them in protest "He is man that it is unfit anyone should hear epea k". Two men neld similar views. Yet it is safe to say Deyond what they had imbibed from some parers regarding Nearing, the! didn't know thing about him. TO such heights of intelligence do the brains of councilmen attain.

OPEN SHOP.

The fight which is made against the closed shop and for the open shop by employers is merely a con- yrsion of issues. What is being fought against is the union shop and what is sought after IS the non-union shop. To declare that ln the open shop there is no discrimi- nation practiced may theoretical? be all right but practically and ac- finally it is not correct. The open shop like the open mine is gener- ally the mine where the union man cannot get work-where the prefer ence is given to the nOn-union man and the man who is known as the union member generally gets his walking papers.
 The unionistS know that. They linowalso to what length the com panies go with detective agency operatives to keep themselves acquainted with the views, opini' EHi ana dClNllltS O4 tIiS iHN i4 'N' .l uuiouist or otherwise, The open shop is in fact the non-union shop, always was and always will be.

 turned into other channels of pro auction and it will be expected to reproduce itself to the same fecun l extent in whatever industry those dollars are invested. These protits are centralizing wealth in the hands of few quicker than most people realize. They are bound to, in the nature of things.

sane feeding basis and 10 end some OF
the medical ills that have kept the
prison physicians busy.
Another innovation in the prison is
the gradual elimination of the long
slate slabs at which the prisoners ate
and Of the tin tableware used by them.
As fast as they can be built small
wooden tables with white painted tops
arc being substituted. Already these
tables. which seat six. accommodate
two hundred at each meal. On them
carthcn dishes take the place OF the
historic tin plates and bowls. and each
prisoner has his own water glass.
Chairs with light backs have been sub
stitutcd at these tables for the stools
so long used
The immediate effect OF the substl-
tuition is to make the one end OF the
mess hall in which the new tables have
been set up look more like an ordinary
eating place than the mess place Of a
prison.
