Returns as disclosed by the New York Labor Bulletin from all labor organizations In that state, numbering nearly 2,500, show, for a total of 409,- 600 male members who had "name" work during the months of July, Au gust and September, 1910, average earnings per member for the quarter of $213. or $71 per month. This Is not a bad average wage, and yet it is $20 for the quarter below the sversge for the same three months in 1909. But, according to the report, the lower average wage for the quarter was due not to a lower rate of wage, for the per dlena pay for that period in 1910 averaged $3.30, as compared with $3.33 in 1909, but to a continued period of Idleness of many workmen laid oft or engaged In strikes. When this Is tsken into consideration, to gether with the close comparison of wages for the two years, it 'is seen that the rate of pay did, indeed, keep up well. Without going into the merits of any labor dispute affecting this New York situation, these figures furnish another strong argument for some solution of labor troubles better than the strike. Working men earning their livelihood by dally, or weekly or monthly wages, should not haver to resort to enforced idleness as a means of carrying on a controversy with their employers, nor should the em ployers have to close down their busi ness, paralyzing industry for the time being, in order to adjust a private dispute with their employes. The strke Is not a success; It Is not modern; it Is not American, yet it is operative. Apparently in this coun try, at least, no systematic steps are being taken to do away with it. It Involves tremendous economic waste. The very fact thst both sides, labor and capital, would gladly welcome a tariff disruaalon "esma op before ron- gress, Just as he is 'today. The tariff hss never been satisfactorily made or adjusted and probably never will be under the old system. That, of itself, might be-a valid reason for trying the tariff commission way. failure means the loss, for trie time being at least, of a democratic senator; substitute. If one were available, the best .promise that a solution coming before very long. Reminiscence. The death at Lincoln General T. C. Kelsey removes a nsviie familiar for many years in labor circles in Omaha. General Kelsey got bis mil itary title on the staff of General Jacob 8. Coxey, leading a columu of unemployed across the continent tc swarm the capllol grounds at Wash ington and lay their grievances before the bead officers of the government. General Kelsey properly belonged in the division under General Chailes Kelley, which passed through Omaha, gathering recruits as it went. r All this took place in the spring of 1894. An interesting reminder of ll.e occasion has just come to hand again In this note written by the great ac tor, Richard Mansfield, then playing In Omaha, to the editor of The Bee, offering to head, with a subscription of $100, a fund to charter a train for the Kelley army, and thus relieve the foot-sore pedestrians: , OMAHA, April 24, ISM. My Dear Mr. Roaewater: How much would a train to Chicago cost to take the Industrial army there? Cannot the cltlsens of Omaha subscribe? I will give one hundred dollars. : Faithfully yours, RICHARD MANSFIELD. Other complications prevented the adoption of this suggestion. The leaders in that famous bread-famine uprising are gradually passing away, but it Is a sad chapter in our history, which we all hope will never have to be repeated. Oae nte lit.es the nadneae. Philadelphia Record. 1 One vote In the. Massachusetts senate He- I ated the ratification of the Income tax I mendmrnt to the t'nlled States const ltu- lon mhich had previously fanned, the house. One vote is a narrow margin, but It some- inirs has far-reac'iing results. In this ase It makes It fairly certain that the mendment will not be ratified this year. Toll of l ife In reare. Chicago Record-Herald. Statisticians announce that every year more men are killed In American coal mines, railroad wrecks and other Industrial departments than were killed in the battle of Gettysburg, There does not seem to have been any battle In which the casual ties were numerous enough to make them om parable to the murders that are com mitted every year In this country. Now, will Senator Tillman promise to be good and not cry if they reopen the Lorlmer case? The happiest people Jn the world are those whose home ball team Is winning right along. The question is still going the rounds, "How to live on $1$ a week?" That Is the question, how? If It Is a question of hiring more policemen or buying more patrol au tomobiles, we vote for more policemen. Enterprise. That The Bee's enterprise in arrang ing for tbe special service of a staff correspondent at the seat of war on tbe Mexican border is thoroughly ap preciated is evidenced by the way our piratical contemporaries are stealing The Bee'a exclusive war news and re-' printing it, slightly re-written, twenty four hours late. The story of the fighting around Juarez sent to The Bee by wire by its special correspond ent there is better even than tbe press reports, and in telling about the Nebraskans there gives a local color of unusual Interest here where these folks are known. Timely war stories at heavy telegraph tolls direct from tbe battlefield, cost more than cold storage reminiscences of the fights of fifty years ago. ' '. -v A New Orleans paper refers to Sen ator Bailey aa a "besmirched person ality." Now watch the Houston Post. Charles W. Galloway of the Balti more & Ohio rises to remark: "What the railroads needT Is to be left alone." That la such an 'old one. That St. Louis man who invented a .motor to conserve wind power doubtless was thinking of tbe ap proaching Chautauqua season. . It would be Impossible for Governor Wilson to say much about how he beat Smith, for the family has so many members In the west. A messenger boy who found $55, 000 got a reward of $1. Probably wars a big red label on his cap now, "Honesty la the best policy." President Taft remarked that It took two to make a war. Senor Madero doubtless has observed that It takes more than one to end It. Some of the editorial farewells to Mayor Love, the retiring executive of Lincoln, read very much like, "What's your hurry? Here's your hat." Here's a kick that $3 a day for jury service Is still not enough. Well, It's just 50 per cent better than $2 a day that has heretofore been allowed. seaawsseMSSMBHsssasaaaaaaMBBssssi The Washington Post says ' the women have refrained from taking sides In this whiskers debate, know ing It is a ticklish subject.

Thomas Wentworth Hlgglnson be longed to two distinguished New England coteries, that in literature, which included Longfellow, W'hlttler, Holmes and Lowell, and that in aboli tion, which Included Garrison, Wen dell Phillips, Edward Everett . Hale and Mrs. Julia Ward Howe. . His death at the ripe age of 87, removes the last of these groups of great patriots and1 men of letters. He sur vived his era, though, like all of his illustrious compeers, left an imprint on the pages of his country's history. which time will not efface. Colonel Hlgglnson was a versatile man and his eareer was varied. Grad uated from Harvard at the early age of 17, he taught for a time at the Divinity sijl there and then, In 1847, entered the ministry of the Con gregational church. His anti-slavery views, however, did not coincide with what his parishioners felt their pastor should entertain, so he resigned his charge and made an unsuccessful at tempt to get to congress and, in 185S, demltted the ministry. He soon be came one of the foremost sntl slavery agitators, touring the country ss far west as Kansas in the interest of human liberty. When the war came on he enlisted and .rose to the rank of colonel. After the war he de voted himself to litersture and edu cation, becoming the author of a his tory of his country and other valuable works, both in prose and poetry. Improved Tariff Methods. The Sixty-first congress, we believe, did not hit the center of popular ap proval when It refused to co-operate with the president in making his tariff commission plsn permanent snd giving It the leeway that he asked for it. The people, unless the ordinary means of Interpreting their will have misled ns, are tired of the old method of tariff tinkering and demand a better one. They are tired of having the tariff made a foot ball of politi cians to be kicked from one local goal to another, also of steam-roller tariffs. Congressman Knowland of California is correct when he says in a speech in congress: I mistake the temper of the American people If the day Is not rapidly approaching when they wlU insistently demand that more enlightened and scientific method be adopted in dealing with this great queetlen and a public sentiment national In cope. will crystalline in favor of a nonpartisan, but permanent, tariff board a body that will confine Itaelf to the important and necessary preliminary work of gathering and strung- information and performing the technical work so essentia) in placing be fore congress data neeeaaary In dealing with tha varioua schedules, practically all of which are Intricate. And there la ample ground for say ing mat xor iz years tne same divergent of view among members of congress as to the tariff has existed that exists todsy and that the dema- fogue.waa In evidence when the first "Too Darned Much Economy." Congressman Rucker, the sage of Keytesville, Mo., is a "plains, blunt man," with a plain, blunt way of putting things. He Is getting to be somewhat of a thorn in the fleah to his democratic brethren, whose party plans he has unmasked more than once this session. Colonel Rucker is no stickler for style, neither in speech nor in action. He has .a rather pic turesque way of saying things and be lieves that the language was made to serve man, not to be served by man. He says the democrats are attempting 'too darned much economy." 8o do good many other people, but Con gressman Rucker has put the thought in vary apt form In his speech on the floor of tbe house, where it ought to have an influence and it probably will Of the question of fact involved in the Mlssourlan's statement, there can be little doubt. Economy Is an ex cellent thing, even for congress to practice, but there is a wide difference between economy and parsimony or economy and party politics. No doubt many democratic brethren believe Just as does Mr. Rucker, that "too darned much economy" is being attempted by the party in its desperate anxiety to make a record which it may parade before the people next year, but evi dently few have the courage of Rucker to get up "in meetis' " and speak out what they think. Between their bogus economy cam paign and their determination to in vestigate everybody and everything out of which they think political cap! tal might be made, tbe democrats In the house, if they are not very careful, will miss some good opportunities for doing tbe country "real service. It would be well for them to ponder on the homely counsel of Keytesvllle's ar. ' " ' Our old friend, W. H. Thompson, again announces that he is out for the democratic nomination for United States senator. He has started on the senatorial race track several times before, but was never there at the finish. It remains to be seen whether he has any better staying qualities this time. - Governor Aldrlch ' gives detailed reasons for refusing to interpose ex ecutive elemeney on behalf of a con victad murderer. Bat it is all summed UP in the last sentence, "Under all of the circumstances in this ease there Is nothing left hut to let the law take its course," The rest of the explanation doesn't count.

It Is barely five years since the wireless telegraph passed oijt of the experimental stsge and was universally recognized as a practical means of long distance commu nication. By July 1 every ocean-going steamahlp company leaving an American port that carries fitty persons, Including pasNengers and crew, by law must be quipped with a wireless telegraph outfit capable of aendlng messages 100 miles. Nothing more Important has been done In msny years to Increase the safety of travel at sea than the general Installation of wireless. Under the new system not only will every steamship be provided with better means of self-protection, but it will be a means of protection for other ships. The quickness with which relief arrived from different quarters at the time of tha collision that resulted in the sinking of the Republic demonstrated once for all tfw hereafter the. ocean is- to be dotted with life-saving stations. . Other uses of the wireless at sea are to be regarded as a convenience for passen gers and owners that could be dispensed with without great loss. The compulsory adoption of it ty all passenger-carrying steamships has now become almost as much of a safeguard agslnst disaster as a proper equipment of life-boats. THE VOUl'E OF DR1BEHY. Lees Corruption in Politics Today Than, Kvrr Before. N Charleston Titvi and Courier. The Indictment of City Chamberlain Hyde In New York on the charge of accepting bribes, and on other charges, taken In con nection with the recent exposures of cor rupt legislators In different parts of the country and the long tale of debauchery In politics, tends to convey the Impression that dishonesty has never been so rampant In America as It Is at present. Everywhere there Is the same story of vote-selling and vote-buying, of the utilization of public of fice for the advancement of private inter ests, and It la. because of this dishonesty that men are seeking to change our form of government, some thinking that democracy ItseU has proved a failure and others being convinced that yie trouble lies In too little control of their! own affairs by the people themselves. The truth is that there is less corruption in politics today. In all parts of the world, than in any other period of history. The difference Is that today, we know what IS going on, while debauchery was kept bid den before. Bribery was certain to thrive until publicity became as general as It now is.

While the drhate between the whiskered and the halriheaded vocallots In .Washing ton resulted In draw, all bets off, the con test was not a waste of breath It served to bring within rsnge of ths apotllght the startling fact thst the sixty-second Is a haldheaded congrem. . Korty-lhree per cent of the representatives are Innocent of hair on top of their heads, and a malority of the remainder are hitting the bald headed pace. Forty-five per cent of the republican minority are bald, and 37 per crnt of democratic majority are hairless on top. "Never since the government was founded," writes John Temple Oravea In the New York American, "has the visitor In the galleries looked upon such an ex panse of smooth and shining pales. Of the bald heads In this bald rnnareaa, 81 per cent are set upon the shoulders of young men under 45. 'Why sre more republicans hald thsn democrats? It is a fact. Because, any the democrats, baldness Is a first cousin to gout, and gout Is the legitimate child of luxury and monopoly and the spoils system, which are the synonyms of republicanism. "Why are so msny democrats bald? Because, say the republicans, baldness Is akin to drouth ' and barrenness. 'And be cause,' aald Martin Littleton, 'the repub licans have snatched us baldheaded so often that tha habit has got Into our hair.' 'The baldheaded members assert that baldness Is an associate of brains and statesmanship, and point proudly to Champ Clark and Henry Clayton and Henry of Texas and Hobson and James. But they forget the full raven locks of Oscar Un derwood, the curly pate of Rainey of Illi nois and the hairsuit glory of Martin Lit tleton. .- "A glance through the Capitol galleries reveals the fact that few, if any, of the elder statesmen were bald. Jefferson's flowing curls were famous. Webster's massive brow shone out of abundant hair; Henry Clay's locks came nearly to his shoulders and John C. Calhoun, that vast, deep-thinking logician, had the full, ahaggy mane ' of a lion. Ben Franklin wore curls, and the two Adamaes were the only baldheaded presidents the coun try ever knew until the thinning crown of Cleveland. In his second term, brought him into line."

The author says the home has not kept paoe with commercial progress; that labor-saving devices In the household are few and that tha knowledge of food and food preparation is not what It should be. especially in the rural districts. Uncle Sam runs the largest, cheapest and, in many ways, the most unique book store In the world. The "store" is an eight- story biulding adjoining the government printing office in Washington. All books not more than one of each to a customer are sold at cost by August Donath, the "storekeeper." Many rare and old books are Included In the mass, but under the law they must be sold at cokt, regardless of their age or historical value. "The fact that we charge so little for books," said Mr. Ionath, "dons not mean that we compete with booksellers, but It means that congress believes that when a man takes the trouble to pay a few cents for a publication he Is more apt to read it carefully than if It were thrust on him free of all cost. Besides private publishers are not allowed to print or handle government publications under or dinary circumstances." Preliminary information Is usually re quired by the prospective purchasers, and to supply this need the office prepare price lists and leaflets describing the con tents of all the publications. They range rrom pamphlets which are sold for a few cents up to the "History of the United mates Capitol." by Glenn Brown. - the most expensive publication ever handled by ths plant. Its aale price is 120 During the last twelve months tha store did a buslneaa of $8s,00u, which represented the cost of over a bait million books and pamphlets.
