THE WORKING DAY

In certain parts of England men are
striking for a foTty-hOur week or a
six-hour day. Whether they have in
view only the spreading out of employ
ment for the emergency or a perma-
nent six-hour day is not told, says the
Milwaukee Journal.
The hours of labor should be stand
ardized at the point which will yield
the best results with the least amount
of physical and mental wear and tear.
The eight-hour day has been generally
agreed upon as the happy medium.
A six-hour day would mean employ
ment for more men, but at the same
wages that are paid for eight hours
work. The result would be danger
Gus decrease in production. At the
expense of producers Yes, but also
at the expense Of everybody else. Ar
tificial holding down of production,
whether by producers or workingmen,
does nobody any good.
To pay dividends to those who in
vest capital in industrial enterprises,
salaries to managers, and wages to
workmen, wealth must be produced
and wealth is consumable goods, not
money,
There is another side to the ques-
ton. A wise division between work
and leisure is desirable. Too little
work and too much leisure is as wrong
as the other way around. Some men
may spend their offtime profitably, but
the majority are tempted to idle it
away.
Work is the normal lot of man, and
rightly So The good things of life
ought to come to the workers in pro-
portion to their effort and their abili
ties. 1t is our business to see to it
that this shall be so. This is the real
aim TO pursue rather than seeking aft
er an ever-lessening working day.

SINFONS WRITES NEW BOOK ON
SOCIAL ISM AND THE WAR

Social, industrial and economic
changes which have grown out of the
world war have brought problems the
solution of which demand careful, in
telligent thought and wise leadership.
A. M. Simons, 931' Bartlett avenue,
Milwaukee, has made valuable and
interesting contribution to the consid-
Grafton of these problems in a volume,
The Vision for Which We Fought, just
published as part Of the Citizens LII
brary of Economics and Sociology, by
the Macmillan Co.
Mr.. Simons formerly resided in
Baraboo, son of Mr.. and Mrs. H. B.
Simons, now residing at the corner of
Tenth and East streets.
Mr.. Simons, formerly prominent in
the Socialist movement, repudiated
the ST. Louis platform and has, been
an active supporter of the American
government in the war. He has spok-
en- many times in Milwaukee on war
and the social changes resulting from
it. To those who have heard him his
book will appeal especially. 1t will be

FRANKINC PRIVILEGE ABUSED

Schemers of all sorts now and then
impose on congress and the nation by
getting their literature sent through
the mails free, under the law which
people go to F1orida and California
allows official matter to be
"franked." Senator Borah of Idaho
the other day called attention to the
gross misuse Of this privilege. He ex-
hibited letter which was sent out by
concern called the American Honor
Roll Co., which offered, on receipt Of
81, to furnish an honor roll" to rela-
tives of sold 'ers whose names ap-
peared on the casualty lists. This offer
was sent out in a 'franked" envelope
from the adjutant-generals Office. Sem
ator Borah denounced the affair as ''a
picayunish petit larceny system" to
bleed the kin of our wounded soldiers.

MANS NEED OF WINTER

Winter beauty, beauty at it's intens-
est, is remote and sufficient without
us. No man need imagine that the
snowpeak yonder or this little drifted
hollow calls to him or needs him.
But he needs them, and that is the
stab of 1t. The curve Of spanning
blue is complete; the cover of an
aecked white lacks nothing; even the
pine in It's green reserve is enough
unto itself. Winter is for itself.
From summer landscapes and the COM
panionable birds we thought that we
drew something and with them had
some tie. But now we give in such
terms Of wonder and admiration that
the insufficient return hurts. Not
even on, the inhospitable sea does the
cold and rounded beauty of the scene
seem more aloof.
So do not go into the winter woods
without a companion. He must be a
finite, warm-hearted friend. He may
have a corner in his heart for con-
seriousness of the infnity about him,
but he must have human appetite.
With a tent and quilts and all the
things that are good to eat dashed on
a toboggan, set out with him into the
deep forest. The webbed shoes will
give you complete mastery Of the
waist-deep snow. BY 3 of the after
noon it will be, we'll to think Of camp.
Settle into a southward-facing seclu-
sion and dig down to the moss carpet
beneath the snow. Night will steal
about you with a softness and beauty
unconprehended before. Light cur
rents from the ocean of infinite cold
will draw you closer to the fire. You
will be wrapped in silence, and the
Ebigness Of it would break your spirit
were it not for the friendship at hand.
But in the morning stir of a zero
awakening all that will pass. Now
the woods are shot with sunlight, or,
perhaps, are soft with the haze Of
storm.--T. Morris Longstreth in Har-
per's.

! BUYING SAFES

A citizen reports there has been d
great many safes sold in Sank county
during the past few months. People
have money and are willing to spend
it for receptacle in which to store
their valuables. The sale of Liberty
bonds has given big impetus to the
safe business. Many persons have
purchased bonds or war savings
stamps and now desire an iron box in
which to place them. A safe, too, is
the proper place for deeds, abstracts,
mortgages, notes, jewelry and other
property of like character. A safe
prevents loss in the case of fire and
avoids loss from petty thieves, but
does not keep the professional safe
blower out. He usually goes where
he wants to. The bank is the proper
place for large sums of money or for
large bonds, unless they are regis
tered.

TRIUMPH OF SCHOLARSHIPS

There is reason to believe that for
a generation now, the custom among
practical men of using "schoolmaster"
as a term of mildly derisive pity will
go out of fashion. For time the
world is likely to remember that, in
the greatest crisis of American his
tory, it was a schoolmaster, an old
pedagogue OF politics. who. called
from his quiet classroom, shaped and
interpreted not only Americas
thoughts, but the ideas and aspirations
Of two hemispheres. twill remember
that in the darkest hour of the war
it was the old professor of strategy
from the Ecole de Guerre who was
summoned to the command of the
armies of the Lord President Wilson
and Marshal Foch : schoolmasters
both.-Stars and Stripes, Paris.

HOW TIMES HAVE CHANGED

Prof William B. Bailey of Yale, re-
porting for the children's bureau of
the United States department of labor
en- conditions in Connecticut, recalled
that under the states blue laws in
1850 cutting of the ears of Juvenile
offenders was an authorized penalty
says an eastern journal. This treat
ment well typifies the ancient theory
oe the merit of terrorizing severity both
as a deterrent and as righteous re-
venge. This theory, which dies hard
when adults are in question, has lost
most of its hold as relating to children;
but practice still lags behind theory.
Prof Bailey points out that many of
the children brought before the Conn
