"In the old days the candidate
kissed the baby. In these days
of woman suffrage he kisses the
mother" says an exchange. This
accounts for the constantly grow
ing desire Of some people to get
into politics.

Duluth is wailing over the fact
that it's wealthy citizens do not
invest their money at home. This
is not only the case in Duluth but
many of the smaller towns are
similarly afflicted.

during the european war we
have witnessed wonderful strides
in manufacture on the part Of ia
pan; they have reaped a golden
harvest and are one of the main
factors in supplying Russia.
They have gained possession of
the Chinese copper, iron and coal
fields and are now possessed OF
an abundance of raw material.
Can we compete with Oriental
labor at the following pricesf
Women who do the work of men
-14c per day for IL hours work !;
men for common labor-18c for
IL hours; skilled miners-25c for
IL hours; carpenters 21ac per
hour and bricklayers the same
price, partially skilled labor for
factories-22c for IL hours Amer
ican money.
One dollar gold in Japan will
buy as much as SIS in this country.
Japan has nearly tripled her
manufacturing capacity in certain
lines. She furnishes free coal to
all ships that can be used as aux
iliary cruisers, women putting
coal on the. ships. Nearly every
ship engaged in mercantile trade
on the Pacific Ocean flies the ia
pan flag.
She has made rapid strides in
her South American trade.
She has stolen nearly all of our
valuable electrical patents, and
consequently can install machi-
merry for manufacturing purposes
at one-fifth the cost to our manu-
facturer.
Her Industrial Commission has
been in this country for over one
year studying our industries and
manufacturing conditions prepar.
etory to competing with us.
Her government assists in finan.
cling corporations, and has lately
granted a bonus of 8 per cent. per
annum for three years on the
money invested in the manufac.
ture of coal tar and analine dyes
Can the American manufac-
turer paying 45c per hour to the
machinist compete with Japan at
their 2 to &c per hour?
Transportation across the Paci.
fic is cheap.
Japan has purchased one OF
every article sold in the Wool

plicating them in our markets.
Japan recently solicited orders
for shirts in the cities of the
United States, sent the measure.
ments back to Japan, and the la.
Dor cost was one-tyelfth of the
labor cost on the same article in
the United States.
With our present imports near
ly 81 per cent, in the free list, can
we expect to compete with Japan
under the Underwood Tariff, when
Japan once devotes her attention
to the trade of this country9
She is making more profit sup
plying Russia at the present time
than she would if trading with us
but the day is soon at hand, when
the war closes when we must COM
pete with her. Thousands of ia
panese homes are used for manu-
featuring centers-father, mother
and children all engaged in manu-
featuring certain lines of piece
work. She has lately passed a
law prohibiting girls under IL
years of age to work more than
IL hours per day in her factories,
and women have two days a
month rest-Japan has no Sun

NOT AN EiGHT-HOUR LAW.
Recent Hold-Up Legislation Does
Not Shorten Workday q
Minute.

AS q matter Of fact, II is not
an eight-hOur law at all. 1t does
not curtail the trainmen's work
day by a single minute. II an
engineer has been receiving S.
for working ten hours day, this
law will raise his pay to 1925;
but 1t will not shorten his work
day even the tenth part Of Sec
Ond. This Is no more like the
true eight-hOur principle than
chalk is like cheese.
The reason why people call
this an eight-hOur law is be-
cause 1t says that in the case
of railroad trainmen they shall
get their days pay for the first
eight hours work. and all the
rest Is to be considered over
time.
Do not tell me that this strike
could not have been called off or
postponed If President Wilson
had shown that he meant bust
ness. / do not for one minute
believe that those four brother
hood leaders started the blaze
going without knowing how to
put it out. One of them ad-
mitted that he could put 1t out
so far as his own brotherhood
was concerned, but that his fol-
lowers would think that he had
gone back on them If he were
to do so.-Statement Of Con-
gresham A. p. Gardner.

Saccharin, which is many times
sweeter than sugar, and is used instead
of sugar for sweetening many CONNER
cial food products as well as sirups
used in soda water, and which some
times has been recommended by ply
sicians as a substitute for sugar to be
taken by persons afflicted with dia-
betes, is derived from coal tar, and is
an irritant to the gastro-intestinal
tract. Consumed in large quantities
for long Periods it causes digestive
disturbances. There is no certainty
that it brings on cancer, but it is un-
der suspicion. The circumstances war
rant legislation prohibiting its use in
foods without notification to consum-
ers. Even were it not positively dele
ferrous its surreptitious employment
by manufacturers would endanger pub
lie health for the reason that while
sugar has food value, saccharin has
mott has only a sweet taste which
deceives the unwary into supposing
that they are fortifying their systems
with sugar.

Carelessness may account in part
for the 725,000 accidents, $4,000 OF
them fatal, to wage earners In 1913.
But the fact remains that the hazards
OF manual labor are many in spite OF
every p%recaution. Railways still fur.
nish the most dangerous form of en-
ployment, with farming. c%uriously
enough, a close second, while coal
mining is third on the list. In general
manufacturing the rate is lowest on
the average-high in the iron and
steel industry and low in the textile
industries. On the whole the number
of deaths from accident is not SO re-
markable as the number of injuries.
The 100000 workmen whose cases
were reported were all incapacitated
for % than four weeks. AS an ar
gument for workmen's compensation
laws these figures are conclusive.
With such laws in force 1t is fair to
assume that every possible menace to
safety that is p~reventable will be re-
moved by employers il only for their
own advantage.
The commonwealth. (Greenwood, Miss.) 1896-1923, 1916-04-14
WoRRYH

The natural state Of mans being
Tat is. the wild, uncivilized state-is
a state OF constant fear. But 1t is
tear given expression in physical
a~lertness, in fight from enemies, in
clever -concealment. 1t is not. the pent-
up fear that eats away the sources Of
courage and corrupts happiness. All
progress has been away from fear.
to make life sufficiently secure, so that
the shadow of peril should not move
always at mans side. But the in
stinct of fear is as strong as ever. It
is valuable when it is translated into
terms of prudence, foresight and rea-
sonable caution; but when 1t gets out
side of bounds it develops into worry,
the arch-foe OF contentment, the de-
vastator of poise. When a man wor-
ries he is in fear, and since fear does
not help him to escape its cause, it is
pernicious. Scientists have demon
strated that there is loosed in the hui
man system by fear potent elements
intended to accelerate muscular ac-
ton, and that when there is no real
use for them they act as baneful tox-
ms. The human system is marvellous
ly adapted to endure the bombardment
of misfortune's missiles. We can live
through anything, but not worry
through. The foe within is worse
than any evils assailing from with
out.
