ALL HE HAD IN HIS HAND
Pat Certainly Held No Weapon of
Offense, but It Was Deadly
for His Case.
In tlie courthouse an Irishman stood
charged with stealing a watch from a
follow citizen. He stoutly denied the
accusation, and brought a counter
charge against the accuser for assault
and battery committed with a frying
pan.
The judge was inclined to ta'.te a
common-sense view of the matter and,
regarding the prisoner, said:
“Why did you allow the prosecutor,
who is a much smaller man than your
self, to assault you without resist
ance? Hud you nothing in your hand
to defend yourself?”
“Bedad, yer honor,” said Pat, “I
had his watch, but what was that
against his frying pan?”—London

Greater Production Needs Outlet
■ -^■mmmmmT-T--|-p- ~r- -
Stephen Bell, in Commerce and Finano*.
"What is the matter with tho production theory of wages? On Novem
ber 13, 1918, we printed an article, “Concerning Wages,” In which we showed
that wages are drawn from tho current production of labor and not from
accumulated capital. We drew from this the lesson that wages cannot be
too high provided the product of labor Is commensurate with them. We
deduced that the country where the comforts and necessities of ^ife were
plentiful and cheap was rich, and one where they were scarce and dear
was poor no matter what its bank clearings and trade balances might be.
We closed by stating that the problem of labor, since the voracious maw
of war was filled, was to make abundant the things that all needed, since
it was impossible to raise tho rate of real wages—what our money will buy—
by any of the restrictions on economic freedom which organized labor so
dearly loves.
With others we have ridiculed the *‘ca’ canny” system of work, assert
ing that it was based on the erroneous theory that the amount of work to
be done was limited and therefore should be spread out lest the toilers
“work themselves out of a job.” Judging from the celerity with which
prices have been falling in the past few months, labor must have taken the
tip so unanimously chorused by the employers. Instead of everything being
lovely, however, there come from all over the country—and the world, too,
for that matter—stories of factories closing or curtailing operations, rail
roads reducing forces, wage reductions and large talk of "open shops” for
the purpose of increasing the efficiency of labor.
The closing of mills or running them on part time is said to be neces
sary because of accumulations of stocks which cannot be sold and to pre
vent their growing larger. Was it the speeding up of labor that brought
about this result? Or were we mistaken in deriding the notion that the
amount of work to be done is limited? To those thrown out of work it
doubtless seems limited enough as they trudge from place to place looking
for employ meal. Frank Mt,n Ison, secretary of the American Federation
of Labor, is quite justified in declaring that the present state of industry
is an indictment of those industrial managers who called for more produc
tion as the solution of the wage question. It merits the most careful at
tention of our industrial leaders. We are assured that the production
theory of wages is correct. We are equally assured that limiting output
in order to “make work last longer” results in loss to both labor and capi
tal. Real wages consist of what money wages will buy, no more can be
bought than is produced, and producing less necessarily lessens real wages.
What, then, has thwarted the working of this law and brought about ex
isting conditions?
There are more factors in tho economic problem of the production and
distribution of wealth than are dreamed of by the casual worker, employer
or even many economists. An all but universal method of thought vitiated
at the start by some kind of an idea that money is of more value than
money's worth gives nearly all of ua a false view of these factors. We
know that the cheapness that follows the use of Improved machinery or
methods has really displaced n*> labor, but on the contrary has opened
larger fields of employment to bovh labor and capital, yet we refuse to follow
this beneficent principle to the extent of availing ourselves of the cheap
ness that would result from utilizing the advantages in various lines of
production possessed by other nations.
By placing obstacles in the way of imports of cheap foreign goods we
have choked the sale of our own goods abroad. The foreign exchanges are
so lopsided with our exports during the war and the enormous sales since
the armistice that Europe, despite her need for more, is practically at the
end of her tether to command means of payment. Despite the enormous
jump in our exports in October, they were but a fraction of what Europe
needs, though unable just now to pay or command credit. She is trans
ferring her purchases to South America, where she can pay with exports,
and where the exchange rates are not so ruinous.
Those who regard only a single industry or group of industries find it
easy to believe in the protective philosophy- Reasoning from the particu
lar to the general, they naturally think what is good for one is good for alf.
As well say that because one man is enriched by having his salary doubled
everybody could be enriched in the same way. The protective tariffs and
other restrictions in which the nations have tangled their foreign trade
have come to act like so many partial embargoes and blockades on exports
and imports, and the natural result is what we see in all highly developed
industrial lands—factories closing, labor idle, capital wasting, because there
is no market, or a very restricted market for what is produced.
INTERNATIONAL GRAIN AND HAY EXPOSITION.
[National Crop Improvement Service ]
A THOUSAND ten-ear samples
of corn will form a part of
the big hay and grain show
at Chicago in connection with the
International Livestock Exposition
from November 27th to December
4th, 1020, at which prizes totaling
$10,000 will be awurded by the Chi
cago Board of Trade to encourage
general crop improvement.
Prof. Christie, who is the direc
tor of the show, announces that the
samples will be ten ears tnis year
instead of twenty, as last year. A
class has also been provided for
single ears. The millers will offer
a trophy for the best sample of
milling wheat and the oats miller'J
a trophy for the best sample of
oats, and there will be competition
also for field peas, soy beans, cow
peas, clover, alfalfa, timothy, alsike,
etc.
It Is generally conceded that this
will be the best hay and grain show
ever held
Hog Island—1920.
No more the stretching incandescent
blaze,
Burning a silver arc across the night;
Tall derricks idle through unchanging
days,
With naught but memories of the
splendid fight.
One fancies if these idle ways could
dream,
They’d, yearn for eager artisans who
swirled
About the shaping hulls, a toiling stream
Who flung their answer half across the
world.
Today their ships are on the misty
lanes.
Off the dim Orkneys and at Singapore;
Steaming to Rio through the tropic rains,
Or slipping past some Australasian
shore.
Across the lonely flats the tall ways
loom.
Dull timbers etched against the sun
set skies;
A steamer’s siren cuts the deepening
gloom.
While through the roadside weeds the
night wind sighs.

Times.
Maine's Gold Mines,
From the Lowell Courier-Citizen.
Gold has been found In a granite
quarry at Skowhegan, Me. Don’t, how
ever, Join the crowd of the get-rich
quickers who may start thither as to
some Yukon field. There have often
been reports of gold discoveries In north
ern New England but they usually turn
out to be a case in which some visitor
has dropped out the filling of a tooth.
The presence of gold in Nova Scotia has
given a certain plausibility to the ex
pectation that where Maine passes Into
the sub-boreal terrain auriferous depos
its may be found. Yet even the Nova
Scotian field, one understands, has re
ceived about as much gold in stock sub
scriptions as it has ever emitted In
bullion.

Language of the Gutter.
From the Outlook.
Americans have made progress in city
government; but just now they have no
reason for boasting. Their two largest
cities have recently given occasion for
Americans of self-respect to feel and
express shame. The Thompson regime
in Chicago and the Hylan regime in New
York, the one republican and the other
democratic, provide ample evidence that
Americans are culpably careless in se
lecting administrators of their city gov
ernments.
A legislative committee has been In
vestigating the alleged building graft in
New York City. In the course of the In
vestigation a letter of Mayor Hylan's
was produced, and In consequence the
mayor was called as a witness. The de
tails of the subject are not of national
Interest; but it Is of some concern to all
Americans that their largest city has a
mayor who can answer questions In lan
guage like this:
"If you’ve got anything, prove It and
shut up. • • * You are not going to put
me In a hole for politics or political pur
poses. • * • You’re not going to put any
thing over on me. If you’ve got any
thing, produce, produce. The quicker
the better.'
Just Talk.
From the New York World.
The manner in which congress econo
mizes is clearly revealed in President
Wilson’s message, which shows that
“over $1,000,000,000 of expenditures were
authorized by the last congress in addi
tion to the amounts shown In the usual
compiled statements of appropriations.”
Yet scores of representatives and sena
tors were on the stump during the re
cent campaign, all engaged in telling the
country how they had saved money and
reduced taxes, although they had done
neither.
Ths spirit in which congress listens to
any suggestion of economy Is accurately
expressed by Representative Mondell’s
sneer at the president's appeal, Mr.
Mondell being the republican leader of
the House.

"Tlie big and little ship controversy
which originated,” said Lord Norlh
eliffe, "Is an attempt to pet from the
test naval minds the knowledge of what
arc the best measures tar tho future
d< fense of Great Britain and her asso
ciated nations of Australia, New Zea
land and the others. r/l>e late Lord
Fisher had an uncanny faculty of being
right. He was usually years ahead of
his time. He invented the now defunct
dreadnaught and the fast, heavily ar
moured cruiser. Ho waff the persistent
advocate of oil and turbine. He be
lieved in the submarine at a time when
it was regarded as a dangerous toy.
Ba*k in 1915 he told me that the day of
the big battleship was gone. He Is
now supported by Sir Percy Rcntt. I
call to mind and refer back to a con
'troversy in which Sir Percy Scott en
gaged early in 1913, just before the war,
when he pretty accurately guessed what
would happen to the big ships and to
tha growing power of tho little ships.
“I have no views myself on tho sub
ject and do not professe to know any
thing about it. But at a time when
wo are being asked to commit Great
Biltaln to the building of a large num
ber of ships which are to cast $50,000,000
each, I think we ought carefully to
Inquire whether we are building use
less monsters for other people's sub
marines to lock up In harbors.
"As for rivalry between tho fleets of
the United States and the fleets of Great
Britain: Our fleets are wanted for an
entirely different purposo from yours.
Ours is a fleet for defense and mainly
commerce defense. If ray friend, Sec
retary Daniels, ever did suggest that the
United States had to arm itself to com
pete against any combination of powers
against the United States, I would very
much like to know what combination
he suggests. There is no possible com
bination. Is it suggested that Britain
should combine, for example, with the
Japanese or the Chineso against the
United States? I can Imagine the Howl
that would come from Australia, British
Columbia and other of tho British over
sea dominions If any such Impossible
situation were suggested. Perhaps
some Washington correspondent will
give my love to Mr. Daniels and ask him
to make his combination.”
Hunter Impersonates Squirrel.
From West's Docket.
A case of a hunter being hunted, in
which tho hunted hunter received, in ad
dition to a charge of shot in the face and
chest, damages for the resulting injuries,
is that of White vs. Lcvarn, 10S Atlantic
Reporter, 664. The parties to the action,
answering the call of the wild, armed
themselves with shotguns, and bent on
the destruction of tile chattering squir
rel and the drumming partridge, hied
themselves to the woods one Sunday in )
October, 1913. Towards the close of tho I
afternoon they separated—one going !
through tho woods near a stone wall
which divided the woods from a small
clearing, and the other, at the same
time, starting in the same direction on
the other side of the wall. After going
a short distance the later sat down on
the wall, and while so occupied was shot
by ilia companion, who mistook him for
a gray squirrel because lie was wearing
a cap made of gray material.
Had the cap been a gray squirrel it
would probably have escaped, as no
damages wero sought for injuries to
tho cap, and the Injuries sustained
showed that the shot went low
A majority of the court rendered
judgment for the defendant, tho presid
ing judge dissenting, and the case wem
to the Vermont supreme court on plain
tiff’s exceptions. Chief Justice Watson
wrote an opinion wherein it was held
that, since hunting on Sunday was pro
hibited by statute, defendant was liable
whether or not the shooting was tho re
sult of carelessness or accident, and, as
consent to an assault was no Justifica
tion, contributory negligence of Ihe in
jured hunter was no defense. The judg
ment was reversed, and the cause re
manded for the assessment of damages.
State Ponce.
From the Indianapolis News.
According to reports from Chicago,
the slate of Illinois Is likely within the
next few years to adopt the state police
plan for the protection of rural com
munities against criminals who da-sh
out from cities In fast automobiles and
prey upon sparsely settled district which
cannot afford to maintain peace offi
cers equipped to cope with experienced
criminals. Such a force is also useful
in running down other classes of crim- !
inals who seek refuge In the country. \
In the state where a state police force Is
. maintained, automobile thieves are
much more easily caught then else- I
where.
Objection to a state police force Is
raised by those who say that It Is too |
expensive and those who say that the
primary business of a state constabu
lary Is to be ready on short notice to
stop labor disputes that reach the vio
lent stage. The expense Is a matter
for public opinion to sottle. It is suffi
cient to say that the 11 states which
have state forces are satisfied that they
are of greater value to the state than
they coat, and none of these states has
a burdened the state police idea after
giving It a fair trial.
