THE -NEW ECONOMY.
They have established a school
in London which is under the pa
tronage ot Queen Mary, to teach
English women to he more thrifty
and economical so that the nation
can husband its resources. Appa
rently the most urgent and import
ant and logical economy: the abo
lition of an expensive, useless and
archaic system of royalty does not
seem there to suggest itself—any
more than the desirability of elimi
nating the coupon-clipping master
class in the United States to the
workers here.
THAT’S OLD.
A newspaper dispatch says that
the ingenious German chemists have
discovered substitutes for tea and
coffee. But that’s old. The com
mon or garden American grocer
whose fame seldom finds express
ion in the news dispatches discover
ed those things scores of years ago
—and uses them yet.
A SAM LliOYD PUZZLE.
A Boston man of means char
tered two steamers at $5000 a
month and the same day re-charU.'
ed them for $13,000 a month, the
charter running for two years. So
for two years this Bostonian will
draw $8,000 a month profit with
out soiling a hand, turning a hail
or doing anything more laborious
than signing his name to paper.
Now, good people all, that money
does not come from Heaven.
Neither was it created by the Bos
ton man. The ships did not make
that money for him nor did those
who charter the vessel. But when
you next hear complaints of high
rates for slurping, just think of the
Boston men who sit at ease making
thousands a month while you pay
the piper. Then turn and admire
the obvious beauties of our glori
ous economic system. Let us
prey.
HUGHES THE ENLIGHTENER.
The other day Charles E. Hughes
spoke to university students upon
Americanism. Hughes is a brilliant
mant and naturally after being
upon the Supreme Bench he ought
to be able to say a whole lot with
out any person understanding him.
He seems to have achieved a pecu
liarly brilliant success when he took
for his subject Americanism. At
least he left his hearers fairly con
vinced that Americanism was some
thing. He said: “Men and women
must think out Americanism for
themselves individually. They must
be men or women who believe in
something. Americanism is some
thing. Something that is the grand
est thing in the United States ’. No
one could read that without being
convinced that Charles Hughes is
the grandest exponent of American
ism that ever lived.
HIS <JIKT.
Frank J. Gould Is donating quart
er million dollars worth of port
able houses to the houseless in
France and Belgium. Exquisite
and timely is this manifestation of
herdltary charity. For years have
the Gould family housed home
less railway workers for 99 cents a
day in the odoriferous box cars of
the Gould system—bread cast upon
the waters.
A MATHEMATICAL QUESTION.
The shoes of the working stiffs
are rising in proportion to the in
creased cost of leather. The in
creased cost in leather is regulated
by the demand, and the decrease
in length of the ladies skirts Is caus
ing an increased use of leather and
hence an increase in price. Accord
ingly, since the Massachusetts Bool
and Shoe Manufacturers' conference
says that the price of leather shoes
is increasing because of the in
creased length of the lady’s shoe to
meet the diminishing length of the
lady of fashion’s skirts, even the
price of the worker’s brogan is a
question of higher mathematics.
IX LIQUIDATION'.
During the winter mining season,
Nome was treated to a venture in
high finance when the ‘‘operators’’
of some underground holes took in
the miners as partners. In this
manner the new-found partners
were able to work ten hours a day
despite the law. They were paid
three dollars a day for that work
during the winter mining season.
No action was taken which woulu
call in question the bona tides ot
these partnerships. But it is notice
able that the "operators'’ paid oft
their partners when and where they
wanted.
The question now arises, what
other law could be violated despite
the matters being brought to the
attention of the officials, with per
, feet impunity and with absolute im
munity except a labor law? Dont all
answer at once.
LAIIOK’S PREPAREDNESS.
Labor has its fling at prepared
ness. But Labor would be well ad
vised to overhaul itself before cri
ticizing the other fellow. The oilier
fellow ;s getting ready. He knows
what is coming. He is preparing
and he is wise. Labor recognizes
even instinctively the ultimate ob
ject of that preparedness. But how
is labor meeting the requirements
of the situation? What and how is
labor preparing.' Is preparedness
only necessary for the capitalists:
is is nothing that the latter are forg
ing the mightiest weapons they can
devise to have Labor as helpless as
it is possible to conceive and Labor
stands by and merely sneers at or
denounces? Could Folly do any
thing more idiotic? Could impo
tency achieve any more pitiful re
sult? Is it not evident that now is
the day and the hour for Working
class Preparedness? Not prepared
ness in armies and navies, but in
organization strong and united and
determined and with community of
aim and action? Here is something
that labor is neglectng. Let laboi
prepare as well. Let labor orga
nize its might which is its solidar
ity. Get into the unions. Organize?
HUMAN AND CANNON FODDER.
During the month of March food
prices rose 1 per cent. But it is
gratifying to know that the Gods
during that time worked out a
pretty compensation for mortals by
causing the price of shrapnel to
drop from $65 to $55 a ton. That
ought to even up things, if the
shrapnel is efficiently used.
PURE PATRIOTS.
Cleveland yesterday enjoyed the
blessings and the culture of mili
tarism to the full. Seven hundred
New York militia men passing
through Cleveland left their train
there and looted stores and commis
sion houses, requiring their disper
sal by the police answering a riot
call. How obnoxious, when the
responsible citizens have their busi
ness places molested and what an
execrable training the New York
militiamen reveal! Do they not yet
understapd that the habits acquired
in reducing strikers and their fami
lies to submission must not he exer
cised so licentiously against the
more responsible and better class ci
tizens of the country? Even these
pure patriots, Alas, have much to
learn.
DISINTERESTED?
Germany is urging Spain to at
ack Gibraltar to regain its posses
tion “which was wrongfully taken
rom her”. Excellent and disinter
isted advice, but in view of the dif
iculties experienced by a more mili
arist nation in capturing Verdun it
s hardly sound in the promises.
FAILURE.
The Majority fail. The Minority
succeed. But that is only the ex
pression of a condition. Many whom !
we believe have failed achieved the ,
most eminent succss. Many who ,
apparently succeed have been me- ,
lancholy failures.
There is only just one test for
any person in this world and that
is: did he make money. Whatever
gifts you have unless they are real
ized in terms of dollars and cents
you are branded a failure. Your
deathlessness is in what money you
make. The world has nothing but
a sneering rhyme for the flower
that wastes its sweetness on the de
sert air, and the gems within the
dark unfathomed caves of ocean are
fittingly despised. But all admire
the orchid rescued for the million
aire’s conservatory and the glitter
ing jewel on his wife's hair attracts
universal praise. The qualities with
in matter not. The financial gains
are what count, the world lives on
a profit ideal. It worships cent per
cent. Its law is the law of proper
ty and its ethical system is the mo
rality of the counting house. It
you can pay enough for prayer you
can save your immortal soul and
with wealth you can always secure
the services of. a spiritual adviser
Nothing is impossible to money, and
the rich man enters the kingdom
of heaven because his money en
ables the camel to pass through the
eye of a needle with ease. The li
tany of the ledger is more efficaci
ous than the book of prayer. Money
is success. Nothing succeeds like
money. There is no pity, no mercy
for the failures.
