HARK! THE HERALD ANGELS
STNGt

Hark! the herald angels sing,
Glory to the newborn King;
Peace on earth and mercy mild,
God and sinners reconciled!
Joyful all we nations rise,
Join the triumph of the skies;
With th' angelic hosts proclaim,
Christ is born in Bethlehem.
Hark! the herald angels sing,
Glory to the newborn King.
Mild He lays His glory by,
Born that man no more may die,
Born to raise the sons of earth,
Born to give them second birth.
Ris'n with healing in His wings,
Light and life to all He brings.
Hail, the Sun of Righteousness! 4!
Hail, the Heaven-born Prince oi
Peace!
Hark! the herald angels sing,
Glory to the newborn King,
Amen.

IT CAME UPON THE MIDNIGHT
CLEAR.

1t came upon the midnight clear,
That glory song of old,
From angels bending near the earth'
To touch their harps of gold;
"Peace on the earth, good will to
men
From Heavens All-Gracious
King"
The world in solemn stiffness lay
To hear the angels sing.
o, We, beneath life's crushing load
Whose forms are bending low,
Who toll along the climbing way
With painful steps and slow!
Look now, for glad and golden
hours
Come swiftly on the wing;
o rest beside the weary road,
And hear the angels sing
Amen.

Key TO Practical Plan

Warehousing cotton is the keystone
of any practical plan for gradually
marketing the crop and one which,
carried out TO the fullest extent, will
result in the direct saving Of many
millions annually to the industry. And
the farmer will derive more benefit
from it than any one else, even those
who provide the capital.
The loss the South suffers year after
year from unprotected cotton may be
gathered from experiments conducted
by the United States Department of
Agriculture. It was found that bales
of cotton left in the open without COW
ering of any kind lost in weight all the
way from 78 to 1877 pounds, while
warehoused bale during the same
period lost only one pound. Besides,
bankers are often obliged to refuse de-
sirable customers having cotton as coll
lateral because Of questionable ware
housing conditions. Naturally the
farmer with a few bales has q COM
paratively hard time in securing loans
when unprovided with recognized
warehouse receipt; whereas pools or
large lots will command support in the
way of loans in preference 20 hundreds
of small lots.
The United States warehouse act
provides the necessary means for put
ting into effect Soutil-wide warehous-
ing scheme. And but for the financial
apset following the war such plan
might have been we'll on the way to
contamination, for a strong financial
group was prepared to carry it out
when uncertainty spread over the eco
nomic situation.
There is, however. one thing to be
borne in mind if any such plan is to
be a financial success-empty ware
houses will not pay their owners. Most
OF the cotton must either come North
or go to the ports where considerable
warehouse space is already provided.
Much of this is often idle, while hun
dreds of thousands OF bales are suf-
fiering from country damage" either
IN the fields or the open cotton lots of
Southern market towns. Therefore the
investor. when asked to put his money
INTO new cotton warehouses, is going
to find out if they will pay. He knows
that In the end cotton must be stored.
II not at less cost, at least as cheaply
IN the proposed Southern warehouses
as it can be In existing warehouses. in
the ports and spinning centers, here

Only approximate

However, such estimates can bd onlv
approximate, for in many cases the per
sonnel of the force in the shops has
changed materially since 1917, when.
piece work was in effect. Local appl-
catlon OF specific rules produces re-
suits that would he ludicrous were they
not so serious in their consequences
Space does not permit the presenta-
tIon OF many illustrations, but one NAV
pc selected close at home. The Long
Island Railroad requires the operation
or certain substations 16 to Is hours
out or each "a. commencing at $3.50
q. m. Prior to the national agreement
with The shop crafts the first shift
started work at various times between
o'5o and 1880 a. m, each shift work
lug eight continuous hours. Under the
eNlstlng agreement, men must be paid
1of three hours and twenty minutes
o, or Iess IN advance of 2 a. m., with
the result that the Long Island is pay
ing S4.25 a man to operate each srb-
station one-half hour from 6:3O to r
a. III. Under the application of this
same rule the Santa Fe had to change
a train schedule to accommodate one
carman who rode to his work and who
IN consequence had to start his day at
6:d5 a. M, fifteen minutes in advance
of his fellows. For this fifteen, min
utes 1T was costing the road five hours
pay a day or a total $9050 a month
for 71a hours work.
1t is evident that labor can enforce
through national agreements negotiated
by national officers, removed from con-
tact with actual conditions, terms oS
work which they never would have the
presumption to demand through their
local organizations, dealing face to
face with their employers. The unions
oppose the abandonment of existing
agreements because they are afraid
that their strategic power of bargain
ing will be weakened if they have to
deal eye to eye with the managers Of
whom they are making their demands.

French Taxes Below Budget
Heavy Slump i'll Receipts From
Business the Reason

PARIS, Feb. 12.- French tsx collee-
tons in January failed TO equal the
budget estimates for the first time
under the present schedule. The total
collections were 1.204,442,0 900 francs,
while the budget estimates were 1882
7S3,000 francs.
A heavy slump in the taxes on the
business turnover and the customs on
sugar, which is attributed in the off,
cial announcement to-day on tax re-
eeipts to restrictions consumption"
was chiefly responsible for the unfa-
vorable result. The biggest drop was
in the business turnover, which yielded
183, $4,000 francs, instead Of the esti-
mated 4s3 3,666,500 francs.
Taxes for the registration of deeds
and titles, however, showed healthy
increasing, transactions yielding 2T1.-
900 francs, which exceeded the es~
Inmates by about s3,5o0,oo0 francs. The
total January receipts exceeded those
of January. 1890, by 31s,ss2, 100 francs.

Perpetual National Standard

There could have been no other OBJ
iect than to perpetuate fer all these
organizations that had had no previous
contracts with the roads national
standard, which should be imposed
upon every operating railway in the
country, irrespective of living costs,
working conditions in the locality, op-
Grating eXigencies or any other factors
That might furnish ground for different
treatment. Federal operation had been
& period of enormous gains for labor.
Aside from the increases in wages,
which were as a matter of fact dis
tinctly moderate when compared with
corresponding increases in the indus
trial field, there was large increase
in the number of employees. This in
crease resulted from the extension OF
the eight-hour day to almost all classes
and with the eight-hour day went time
and a half for overtime, boon tor
which they had long been fighting.
Piece work and the bonus system went
by the board and time payment tookats
place. This added to the number of
employees and reduced the efficiency
of the individual.
In the hearings before the Railway
Labor Board at Chicago the employees
fought for the preservation OF
these national, UNIVERSAL stand
ards. The railways produced
mass of evidence in an endeavor TO con-
vince the board that an enormous
amount OF money is being wasted be-
cause of the inability of the individual
carrier to adopt methods that promote
efficiency and because the universal ap-
plication Of national standards results
in payment of wages for enormous
numbers of man-hours for which no
work is done at all. The representa-
tives of the railways consumed days
and weeks in presenting specific eases
of waste and ineficieucy resulting
from this situation. We're there
a few instances only, one might
dismiss them as exceptional. but VIXEN
they follow one another for hour after
hour, it is time for the public to- sit
I'M and take notice. For the money. is
coming out of the pockets Of the public.
These results are what might natur
ally have been anticipated. There are
over two hundred Class l railways
railways earning S1,00o,o00 or more
each annually-in the country, includ-
ing switching and terminal companies,
and many Of the larger of these are
broken up into numerous operating
divisions. And then there are hun
