ITS POVERTY THAT .AILS THE
 POOR.

The curse of the poor is their poverty is a favorite eXpres ion of Bernard Shaw's and he has good biblical authority for his text. 1t is one of the truths that is hard est for the wilfully blind to see.
 The curse of the poor is their improvidence,' the banke: writer upon a card to be displayed in the street cars. Then he orders an other automobile and tries to make the white lights burn red until the bank breaks and the savings of la bor are gone.
 The curse of the poor is intem perance" cries the fanatic, counting the glas .es of beer of the worker and shutting his eyes to the bottles of champagne of the exploiter.
 ''The poor suffer because of their laziness,'' lolls the fat preacher of platitudes as he sinks back into his upholstered chair at the club.
 But II IS not because Ine poor are improvident or incorporate or lazy, but because they are poor that they suffer. They are poor not be- cause os the pennies they fail to save from the pittance they get, but because of the dollars they do not get from the plenty they produce.
 Wealth does not come from the industrious It is the workers in every land who are poor
 Poverty is the father and mother of crime and misery and degrada- tion in every form. Yet the only movement that dares to strike at poverty is Socialism.

chances are two ta one that during that time yol will be injured, and one to twelve that during that time you will be kill'l; so that the chance of your being in 'ured is six hundred times as great, and the the chance of voIr be:tg h:ied is twenty times as great IS your chance of becoming a general of- ficer in the company which is en- ploying you.
 in short, the tendency of ,na .ern industry is toward form of org nization which will require the wage worker to remain a wage worker. The railroad doe.s not ex- pcct a brakeman to become presi- dent or genral-manager but in- stead to become a conductor. In the same way, section hands make section foremen, and locomotive firamen make locomotive engineers. The railroad manager is not look ing for an engineer who will make a general superintendent, but for an engineer who will be and will remain g good engineer
 Tradition, aphorsms, proverbs and success full men to the contrary, not withstandirg, the room at the top is myth. When all is said, the organization Of modern industry is such that in the absence of some out idle influence such as education, pr "pull', the wage worker is al- most necessarily condemned to a life of labor. Receiving ill most abjct conditions, or by exceptional management. Lacking training, ca pital, and surplus energy the wage , worker may neither rise in indus try nor may he begin an industry of his own. Until recently free land farm ownership offered him an al formative. Today free land is gone. Even though land were still free, the amount or capital necessary for the proper management Of mo- dren farm is rrohibitive to the man without means or credit. The wage worker may not change his lot by rising, or Dy striking out for him. self. Barriers appear in both di- rections which are surmountable by tine man of unusual ability and of great energy alone. To the or dirary man, the limitations which they prescribe are absolute.
 The worker will remain a work CT, except in the rare instances when he joins the ranks Of profes- sions, or secures a foCthold on the norrow ledge of industrial organiza- tion compels most men to keep ,heir places on the lower rungs of the industrial ladder. Therefore their real immediate problem is to make the rungs as comfortable as possible.

PLENTY OF ROOM?

"The"e is plenty of room ct the top" cvbants the Social Optimist "All you need is c little self-con- fidencc-a little real desire to get there-and up you go to be greeted as conque-or and crowned with q laurel wreath
 School tcac .crs, mi-.;cters, cccial workers, journalists and lecturers have all said such things in mo- ments of uIguarded enthusiasm. Sober fought leads them to strike a different key.
 To be sure, there is always a chance of the workingman rising out of the ranks of the workers and becoming a manager or a capi- talist. The existence of this chance to rise has never been questioned, thought it's mathetical extent has not always been understood. Con slider, for example, one of the great est single industries in the United States the railroad industry, em- ploying nearly a million and three quarters of men. What are the possibilities for advancement iii this industry a. shown by the latest re ports of the Interstate Commerce Commission?
 There were in 1914, 5,740 gen. eral officers directing the activities of the million and threequarters employees. Therefore each em- ployec should have, one chance in three hundred of becoming gen cral officer at some time Curing his life, provided that the em )ioJ Jees live as long a,. the general olilrers, and provided further that all of the ranks of the employees. NeitEer of these assumptions, however, is correct, because in the frs, place, insurance tables indicate that the life of the general officer is con eiderably longer ,han the fife of the average workingmaN In the second place. the general officers are not always drawn from the ranks. Leaving these two considerations out of account, however, it is ap- parent that the mathematical prob ability that the aNc!arr railroad employee will become T general of hcer is about oue-third of ore per cent.
 Consider another EhaSe of the situation. Suppose that %ol are a railroad trainman. NutLCrati, ally you have one chance ii, tree hund- red of becoming a general officer at any time during your lie On the other hand vou have about one chance in ten pi being injured, and one chance ill t@o lindre6 and fifty of being killed during ea;h year that you arc at work.

The Christmas Spirit.

However It may be, when Christmas
comes it finds us all to a greater or
less degree ready to cry "a merry
Christmas to all" and to the best Of
our ability keep it with good cheer,
Deep down in our hearts every one Of
US cherishes what may be called the
Christmas sentiment. Even if we 90,
as so many have done of past years.
outside of the walls of our own home
we still observe our Yuletide in a more
or less conventional manner. We may
escape our relatives, save ourselves the
bother of home preparations. pretend
that we have cut adrift from the old
fashioned methods, but it all amounts
in reality to the same thing. We are
animated, after all, by the same spirit
whether we are in a country house, a
dat, a restaurant or hotel.

VERY HARD TO PRONONCIATE'
English Language Bothered Edward
Livingston Trudeau, "The Pioneer
Of OPERA" Although American.

In st. Nicholas Mary r. Parkman
tells an incident in the childhood Of
Edward Livingston Trudeau, "The
Pioneer of the Opera"
'The small boy who could scarcely
remember the time when he did not
live in France and whose relatives
We're all French did not forget for
moment that he was an American.
The toy boats which he sailed in the
fountains of the Tuilleries all bore the
Stars and Stripes. All his favorite
playmates at the Lycee Bonaparte,
where he went to school, were hardy
American boys whose parents were
living in Paris.
During the years of the French
school the vague, inner yearning for a
freer, more natural life found vent in
many FRANKS, and covert rebellion not
only against the class routine, but
also, more openly, against the estab-
lished order of things on the play
ground.
"When he returned to New York at
eighteen Edward could speak only
broken English, but he felt so truly
American that he wondered why his
cousins laughed when he said, re Eng
lish is a very hard language to pro-
nOnciate.'"

In "The Clever Mrs. Carfax," Ju-

alluring of any of the women who
appear in the production. and utiliz-
ing this unusual situation to win
for himself a charming bride in the
end.
But long before the end comes,

pleasing entertainment.

A discovery of great value for test
ing with certainty whether a person is
dead has been made by a professor of
physiology at Chicago university. AS
described in the Lancet" it is too
technical for the layman's understand
ing, but a doctor explains that the test
is made by crushing a piece of muscle
and comparing it with a piece of I'M
crushed muscle. If the person is alive
the crushed piece gives off more car
bonic acid gas than the uncrushed
piece, as a result of the stimulation
produced by the injury. The professor
claims that this test can be applied
within a few minutes, or at most with
in one or two hours of death. There
are, of course, other tests with which
every doctor is quite satisfied, but this
will be extremely valuable, as proving
local death of the tissues after general
death has occurred. There is life in
the tissues for some time after death,
and proof of their death sets all
doubts at rest.

AIwavs In the LimelInht

The whole history Of Flanders, un-
til it passed by marriage into the
possession of the dukes of Burgundy
is filed with stirring deeds and rapid
growth. Through all the centuries
Flanders has kept itself in the front

giles that have swept back and forth
across it's territory.
When the ruling count would find
no adequate scope for his energies in
his own country or if the spirit of adj

superstltlons About Salt.

1t is a curious fact that, from the
earliest times, many superstitions have
chung about the use of salt. There is
much evidence in holy Writ for cere-
monial uses of it. The Mosaic law
commands that every oblation of meat
offered shall be seasoned with salt, a
command that is given, with varia-
tons, in various books of the Bible,
such as Leviticus 2 :13 and Ezekiel
1874. In the old days salt was put
into a child's mouth in baptism, and
in some countries to this day the GUS
tom is followed of throwing a pinch of
it into holy water to ward off the evil
spirit.

"Can the Sacks"
Says E. r. Bennett
Field HOrticulturist Thinks We Could
DO Better without Them At The
Present

Western potatoes are almost, with
out exception, marketed in sacks. is
the declaration of e. r. Bennett, field
horticultural in the following state
ment:
Before the war these sacks were
but a small item in potato growing.
At present the container is one Of
the big factors in the price of a sack
of potatoes. This year Idahos po-
tato crop will require in the neigh
borhood of three million sacks What
becomes of these sacks after tho po-
tatoes are consumed is a question
of much economic interest. Previous
to the world war western grain was
shipped to Europe in sacks The
handling of these sacks usually
stretched them to such an extent that
they were of no further value as grain
retainers. but they were collected,
baled and returned to this country by
the ship load under the name of
liverpool returns or centals. These
sacks, the past few years, could be
purchased for potato growers at four,
five or six cents each. When the war
developed thousands of miles of

"Some of the fellows here who never

went back to their tents. You would
never know them for the same fel-
