Adjutant- Generals Position.

In discussing the military situation
in Vermont with which it is not pleased,
being of the mind that somebody is
running Wild" the Burlington Free
Press makes one statement which, out
of justice, should be corrected. 1t says:
I'm time of actual service for the ma
ton the adjutant general may receive
$500 month or $4,000 year, and other
officers handsome sums under new con
ditions." 1t might be easy to infer from
such statement that General Tillot-
son, who is Vermont's adjutant general,
is interested in the proposed new mill
tary legislation at Montpelier because
by SO doing he will, under certain condi
tions, increase his own salary.
Nothing could be further from the
truth and such an inference would be
unjust to a man who has labored con
scientiously for the National Guard Of
the state. General Tillotson's position,
if the guard were called into federal
service, would he no different from what
it is to-day. His salary would still come
from the state. He himself would not
be part OF the federal force. Adiu
tants general of the states are not tax

the guard regiments, The only way the
general could become part of the fed
eral force would be by rcsignng his pres
ent position, following which ls would
have to secure a commission with the
federal force.
This fact, of course, disposes of the
contention that he would or could get
himself on to the federal payroll at $500
a month. The Free Press, of course,
did not intend wrongly on this matter,
but that is just what it has done, and
by so doing may have created false
about the motives of man
who is guilty of no other offense than
urging the passage of a measure which
he considers is for the best interests of

ST'hIkF|.

These are days of great profits aad high prices. Wage have been automatically reduced by reason ot the fact that gold paid row pur- chases less than half wh;t it was wont to buy a few years ago. Tre workers want their share of pros perity, but still more they want 10 maintain the standard of living to which they were accustomed. A good many employers think that the wages are high enough. They think that the workers ought to be satisfied with what they are gett- ing. They will not pay more. Be- tween these two antagonizing views strikes result and there we are. Certainly until there is consider able readjustment of this wage question in such a way that wages ovcrtake soaring costs Of living there will be strikes.

THE EIGHT HOUR DAY.

When the question Of the strike in the northwestern lumber indus try was temporarily under consider ation in the Senate the Iumbermen claimed that they could not c2ncede tho eight hour d2y by reason of the fact that they would there and then have to compete against the Middle West and he South lumber trade where the longer work day prevailed
 That is poor consolation to thn ioggers of the northwest. It does noc make their work lighter that the employer has interesting pro blams of competition to consider. But it certainly does suggest the proprietv of the southern lumber workers getting organized to maka and enforce the same demand. Even in a question as much concerning the employer as worker. it is seen that the one thing of value is or gaaizcd and universal labor solid aritv.

MUST HAVE LABOR.

The Canadian resolution to i'm port Chinese to replace the work ingmen who may be conscripted is described as merely wartime measure.
 It will probably be carried out. It has been carried out elsewhere, The cooIte laborer is so doeile and so cheap that it is fact that he is irresistible.
 It is true that he has not the productive capacity Of the white man. But he can be increased in numbers with ease and numbers will do what the individual might not do.
 In several places capital has brought about well nigh ideal con- dition by this coolie system Espe- cially has it been perfected in some British colonies under system or indentures. There the owner of the plantation and property becomes
  laborer is bound to him.
 The coolie produces wealth for the wage that the whiteman would not look at unless fresh from the brcadline and thus rendered super docile
 Nor has it been an unknown con- dition in the past Sorfdom arose as much from the slave system Of the latifundists in the Roman empire The Athenian democracy was founded upon slave labor and Ari- stotle doubted very much whether slaves had a soul or not
 What a blessed old world it would be if employees could be in duced to take what they could get from benignant employers; rest content for ever in their station in life and realized that their masters held a stewardship from God.
 What a contrast with this inferno today when economic discontent is rampant; when strikes dislocate industry and the workers refuse to appreciate the fine philanthropy of employers. The ma.contents insist upon entertaining the belief tha they have rights: that they have bodies which should be pampered and that they have souls just like employers, Is there no way where by industrial peace can be brought permanently to earth and these disturbing beliefs in the hoi polio dissipated?

INTERESTING READING.

Now that former Tar Nicolas vii have ample leisure in the wilds Of Siberia, he could read with pro-
 fit all the nice things the Entente papers said about him as ruler when during the first year of the war he abolished vodka and ac- complished other reforms. IL he will compare those eulogies with the admissions now made cs to his mental rccrcpitude he will un- occasionally find it very interesting reading. Isn't it Goldsmith that tells about the tavern keeper who used to change his signs according to the popularity of tho heroes Of the day? Such a one would no doubt have long since substituted the effigy of Nicholas by thrilling counterfeit resemblance of Keren- sky.
