Montreal Star: Members of the
Canadian house OF commons, now
that they are to get an increase from
$4,000 to $4,000 in their indemnity,
are to be subject to new attendance
regulations. Hitherto, a member must
put in thirty days to draw the in
demnity paid, and for every day in
excess of fifteen days holiday he has
had to forfeit $40.
The new proposal is that a man
must put in fifty days to get the
$4,000. II he puts in less he will not
be deducted $40 day. but he will
be paid $40 for each day Of actual
attendance. This, it is pointed out,
will overcome the complaint of many
regular attenders who contend that
others very seldom seen within the
precincts OF the house should be paid
on a basis of $40 day for all days
of attendance rather than deduction
of the $50 per day from the full sti-
pend as outlined above.

He blundered much; he made some big mistakes,
And wasted strength in many useless scrap

But may none say that losing, felt sore;

That ! at least was fair in every fight
And that my faults were not of heart, but head;

Never forgetting him whom fate brought low;

ROAD PHONES.

Louisville Courier Journal: Nearly
all great Notwithstanding the mys
FERROUS ones of Mr. Edison-s simplify
1.-THE problems of life by means so sim
pie that everyone wonders why he did
not hit upon the device For example
ia great fortune was made by the in,
vention of machine which made
wood screws with points upon them
!, Nowadays anyone who sees an old.
fashioned wood screw, as large at one
end as at the other, re-. which hole
/ had to be bored with bit, wonders
why the first man who thought of a
wood screw did not think of threading
lit to point.
According to the Auto News,
telephones are to oe installed upon
the public roads in Ohio, for the con.
venience of travellers The plan is
ito put up small booth at each mile
stone. The motorist who is stranded
always will find himself hall mile
of a telephone.
The plan provides so simply for the
solution of one of the vexing prob
lens of road travel that 1t seems it
should have been prepared a dozen
years ago. The road telephone would
be an institution so obviously neces-
sary that it would rate with the screw
point as something which should have
been Instituted before it was instf-
tuted.
The custom of the last decade of
the nineteenth century to hunt up the
nearest farmer who would, for time
and half or more, provide pair of
mules to tow stranded automobile
is obsolete in the twentieth century.
There is always towing service as well
as tire service within hail if only a
telephone can be had.
Tramping to the nearest farm
house which has telephone is often
arduous. The motorist sometimes is
welcomed alphabetically by the far
mer, but rarely by dogs. The dogs
must be encountered and dealt with
before their owner can be reached.
They form the alert outguard of the
rural home.
The evolutionary outgrowth of the
road phone would be the telephone in
5trument, carried in the toolbox. with
which the stranded motorist could tap
any wire at any point and utter his
cry.
With such an instrument and a !
rusty pair of lineman's climbing irons
% order gasoline, tubes, castings, lows I
md other emergency necessities the !
.ourist would be able to keep in touch .
with all that frees touring from the
burden of anxiety.

GOVERNMENT BY REPRESENTATION.

One of the worst factors in our present difficult
situation is distrust by the public of it's repre-
sentatives in government. And the situation il
being made worse because by playing politics
these representatives give cause for this dis
trust. There is too much political maneuver-
ing, too little prompt, honest, fearless attention
Ito public business. All this at time when
government by representation is on trial; when
ut must function or face strong menace OF being
abandoned by the people. This is strong
statement but it is warranted by officers of the
government themselves.
/ The administration has been prolific in pro
imises, dilatory and often futile in action, and
jim foreign policy cratic, autocratic and ire
!sponsive to the will of the nation Congress
has given itself too completely to detective
work; there was plenty to discover that would
idiscredit the management of the nations at
fairs for the past seven years. But the discov-
Iery is already forecast in public thought, and
time, money, energy and brains are running to
combat when they take up cause less import
ant than the good Of the state.
1t is high time that this government came
back to true form; that it became a representa-
tive government. The great mass of citizens
want rule of order, want confidence restored
by being deserved, want plainly declared ma
tional policy on industrial affairs, want all
American foreign policy that means hearty CO
operation with other nations without surrender
of traditional aloofness from their age-long
conflict of policies. The mass of political lead
ers are not in doubt of what the people want
President Wilson may be. But, notwithstand-
ing the chief executives view, it must be con-
coded that the people want direct, open, prompt
action to regulate public affairs. Represents |
tive government should give the people what |
they demand Our government has not been
doing this for the past several years. It must
do it or it will cease to be government ''of the
people, for the people, by the people, /

JOY IN WORK.

What may be called the hoary old delusior
that men can be kept contented by keeping their
stamachs filed is no longer tenable. Animals
may thus be satisfied; but man, as we are told
;4sld are finding out, does not live by bread alone
and no amount of food will leave him nothing
IL desire The unrest of today has deeper
cause which thoughtful inquirers endeavor-
islg to find The trouble as some see it, is that
mon as they reach a certain stage OF develop
nnent find imperative instincts in their natures
unsatisfied by employment which makes them
mere physical machines. Jobs that wholly
mechanical and leave men s creative energies
AID instincts scope joyess, are drudg-
ely.
Human beings are entitled to find pleasure in
their work and the normal man does find en-
.joyment in occupation in which his building
creative artistic instinct has some play. This
j; the where he makes the whole article, as
craftsmen used to, and can put his genius or in
dividuality into his work. 1t then becomes i
labor OF love and gives the world products Of
lpeauty and worth with which the modern ma
icbjnery product cannot compete.

Men who delight in their work, as many do,
who look with pleasure to the hour when it be-

A GREAT GAIN.

IF the National Civic Federation Review is
right in its statement that today ninety per
cent. Of the men in the railway brotherhoods
are solidly opposed to OUTLAW tactics and
movements and that almost the same per cent.
Of opposition exists in the miners organizations,
then the public will welcome this as evidence Of
q great gain. We have settled to the recogni-
ton of collective bargaining. 1t is necessary
next to safeguard bargains made collectively
against refusal by either party to stand by
them Labor has sinned in the past in this re-
spect and admits it The same labor leaders are
row standing squarely for honest keeping of
bargains and this will help in the final solution
to come If labor comes to accept equal respon-
sbihty before the law with capital and manage
ment, and consents, as a necessity to its claim
Tor sharing in management, to accept a share
in homogeneous losses as well as its gains we
shall see the dawn Of reason in industrial de-
bates. Meantime it marks progress to know that
in some of our largest labor organizations tho
toe is turning overwhelmingly away from out
law methods and from the untenable theory If
the radical that promise is a makeshift.
