Ten Year Wage Increase Labor wage statistics’ officially compiled and printed in the 1922 abstract show that the per- ases in listed occupations, over 1913 from fifty-seven in the case of marble- setters to one hundred sixty-seven in the case of bakers. The rate of union wages per hour cover- ing all occupations, and comparing 1922 with 1913 shows an average increase of ninety-three per cent. , : The rage compensation of railroad em- ployes 1913 was $757 annually, the total in wages paid out that year being $1,374,000,000, in| round numbers. The average for 1922 was $1,622, uid out being $2,669,000,000. The wage industry recorded 114 per cent over per-war days. Nearly 000 manufacturing establishments 914 employed about 7,000,000 hands, and paid $4,078,000,000 in wages, or an average per nd of $580.8 About 250,000 establishments in , employing slightly under 7,000,000 hands, paid out in wages the sum of about $8,250,000,000, or an average per man of $1,180 or an increase in wages per man in manufacturing industries of a litlte over one hundred per cent. The average wages of hired farm throughout the cow by the month, in 1§ was, with board, without board $30.31. In1 the wages were $29.17 and $4 , respec- tively. Per hi the figures in 1913 were with board $1 d $1.94; and in labor} The highest rates, and argest increases were in the far western division, where, in 1922 wages per month without bo: were $66.03, and harvest day without board % It has been frequently stated, after an analy- sis of cost items, that labor ounts for from sixty to seventy-five per cent of the cost of pro- | ing to the aboye statistics more than $4,000,000,- | the cost of distributing products of all sorts through increased wages to railroad hands. The farmer has to pay wages, on the average, forty per cent higher than in pre-war days, and he has a good deal of trouble getting labor at $66 a month, or $ a day in harvest season, be- cause of the attraction of higher wages in the manufacturing centers, parity in wage scales, comparing the s far greater to For example, the ra y than in pre-war days tio was about tw ed with the Bri wage, before the war. As- suming that wages in both countries have creased one hundred per cent, or double, $2 the British manufacturer pays in w; » American manufacturer pays $4. T is reflected in the fact that imports of manu factures during 1£ were 100 per cent greate: than in 1914, nothwithstanding the protect tariff law was in effect in 19238, while the Demo- cratic tariff was operative nine months of 1914 (fiscal year). The Republican party has no desire to see wages reduced, and it hopes to see improved methods of manufacture and distribution ulti- mately reflected in lower prices. That is grad- coming about. But a return to Democratic f laws would wreck the entire industrial abric and ruin the farmers’ domestic market. for A Party View of McAdoo It is well at times to examine the opinion of the enemy relative to their strength and num- bers and their confidence in their captains » one will doubt the faithfulness to Democracy of the New York World and ordinarily to the| ididates of that party. There must be some real cause for the unavailabili a candidate that the World does not favor, Then when the World speaks frankly about Mr, MeAdoo it other sources. Here is what the World says in reference to Mr. MeAdoo and his candid. the Demoe nomination for the p “Mr. McAdoo understands the busin of gov ernment, and has without any question the en ergy, the c associates macity for decision, the ability to pick! ud to retain their loyalty. He is, we believe, more devoted to a policy of co-ope ation in foreign affairs than his pre-convention spe *s would Indicate. Although he has gone very far in trading policies for blocs of votes, he is a progressively minded man. “But on three counts at least he is totally| disqualified as candidate this year, He is| disqualified because 1,—He cannot make the outstanding issue inst the Republicans. 2.—His devotion to American Mberty is open to question. 3.—He cannot carry New York, New Jersey, probably no other eastern state, and he cannot make up wert of the Mississippi enough | boy by two other boys on this theory. Other in sition cannot in our judgment successfully con- vince the voters,that he represents a return to high standards of government. + ey “When we say that Mr. MeAdoo’s devotion to American liberty is open to question we do not charge that he is a member of the Ku Klux Klan. But we regard it as hopelessly difficult for him to explain to Americans, in. the piv- otal north and east, that he is opposed te the secret order whose assistance he hay accepted. “When we say that he cannot be elected be- cause he would be defeated along the Atlantic seaboard we think the statement will not be ser- iously disputed. Mr. McAdoo cannot muster the full Democratic strength, and he will concen- trate against him the maximum Republican strength. His nomination would be a godsend to Mr. Coolidge in just those states which have the biggest votes in the electoral college. Mr. McAdoo would rouse against himself most of the “ business community, practically the whole anti- Ku Klux strength, all the wet. sentiment, and would probably divide the radical sentiment with Lafollette. “The nomination of Mr. McAdoo this year would be a repetition of the Tsryan disasters. That is why when the delegates come to casting the erucial ballots they will turn, regretfully perhaps but none the less inevitably to another man. ” ts Do the People ‘Appreciate If you intended to tell the plain, bald truth about the matter, and were willing to risk -the charge of unpatriotism by those who knew you not, atid who placed no value upon an intimate knowledge, and close observation of public life extending over a period of forty years, in right- eous indignation you would say it this way: Eletcion day approaches, and ag usual we here in America are to be treated to the usual furce of popular government a la mode du chez nous. Wha spectacle for gods and men! Politicians shouting themselves hoarse night after night, people more or less aroused by. their spe es, glorying in popular goyernment—as if such a dream could be a fact. Popular government is an inmpossibility— also a paradox., Why? - Simply because the dear people do not care for it. This is the fact, even though it be denied —there is indeed a more or less popular love of the privilege of popular government, to be ‘sura but how does it work out? Ask the stay-at-home yoters who so charmingly knock what they con- sider to be the mistakes of the administration They did not care to vote—in other words, they preterred anything but popular government. Never shall this country have popular goyern- ment until all who have the legal right to vote exercise that right. And that wilt never come un- til there shall be a law making it a crime for anyone qualified not to vote, and this law will never be made because so many non-voters pre- fer to refrain from casting their ballot. George Washington and the funders of the nation erred vastly in supposing that the ma- jority of the people desired to govern them- selyes. They mistook dislike of oppression for a love of self-government—and built the polit- ieal structure that is the United States of Amer- ica on this terrific blunder. As a rule most of the people want to be al- lowed to live without onpression and when thei minds are awakened can do some terrifly great things but as a rule they have no Wisu av. viuer than the right to do things—the use of that right is merely a tiresome interruption of the things they want to do. Talk about represeutative government, when the people do not care enough to vote for the representative? Bunk. There are those who will disagree. Good—hut let tiem count the uncast vote, and then proceed to sting ’em worse than we have attempted to do Sting ‘em into wakefulness and appreciation of the human blessings they are free to enjoy and which they neglect and ignore. Blaming the Parents Psychiatrists declare that parents should be warned against the development of the intellect- |ual phase of a child’e life to the detriment of the physical and emotional growth. They account for the recent horrible murder of the Chic nees of crimes are pointed cut to confirm | their opinion. There may be something in the »| theory. We would not doubt it. But the parents of these youthful murderers have cther and more flagrant sins to answer than the over de- yelopment of their boys’ intellect, if such were the case, Providing them with automobiles, ull the money they desired and having no check upon tar activities, are other responsibilities evaded and which played some important part in the ultimate tragedy. The World Court The only world court scheme anybody is in favor of is some other scheme than the one any- body else is in favor of. There is, of course, no occasion for tears. As President Coolidge said in his cemetery address. “Whatever perils exist for us in the world will come anyway, whether we oppose or support the court,” After the word “perils,” he could have inserted the words, “or benefits.” But the World Court is still an ideal subject for the framers of resolutions and memorials to congress. No knowledge of the subject is re. quired, . LaFollette’s Own Senator Shipstead’s comment on the ill-fated third party convention scheduled for St. Paul on June 17, is delightfflly candid. It seems that the yood doctor has been “s’spicious” of this meeting all along, and felt that “someone was putting something over.” Now that Mr. LaFol loite has denounced the affair, the doctor is sure of it. And then this very frank Minnesota statesman adds; “I expect the acknowledged leaders of the Minnesota Farmer-Labor party to attend LaFol- lette’s convention on July he possessive case fits the situation like a glove. That's what. the July 4 convention is going to be—La Follette’s If any reactionary Republican should unguar edly refer to the Cleveland gathering as “Cool- dge's convention,” or a similarly reactionary Democrat should speak of the New York meet- ing as MeAdoo’s or Al Smith's, the radical howl would wake the echoes from Maine to California. votes to offset this loss. “Whon we McAdoo cannot make| the issue a sublicans we do not} charge him v han rong-doli We refer only to the obvious fact t Doheny ial ) il tiations d; that he received a fee| 1,000 from the Republic Iron and Steel} y for appearing before his own former treasury subordinates in a tax-refund case which saved the company $2,000,000, A man in this pos But LaFoliette is different.

It is at least as ancient as the Prophet Elisha, who upon being taunted by boys for-liis lack of hair cursed them and had Jehovah send bears to devour the kids. af Yet the Fenebally accepted doctrine is that ing from our craniums their hirsute adornment: Certainly from all accounts, baldness and baldness are far more prevalent in this hectic era than in the days of our fathers and grand- fathers. If we place any credence in H. G. Wells and his supposition that the Martians are quite hairless, because farther along in the process;of evolution, we may expect that our descendants will shed whatever is still left to us of the crown- ing glory. Just why hair is incompatible with civiliza- tion and intellectuality is obscure. One ingen- uous doctrinaire maintained some years dg6 that increasing baldness was the result, not of civil- ization, but because of the vogue for shaving the masculine face. He explained that nature always employed its best resources and strength where it was most frustrated, and that in the ef- fort to replace the-shorn whiskers it allowed the hair on the head to languish and die. It might be noted that he himself wore a full board but had only a few straggling hairs on the tép of his head, in which he much resembled the barber of the billiard ball top pi who usually has for sale a sure cure for baldiess. (eas Hair is a curious product. Beyond its evident preference for female over male craniums it se- lects its favorites apparently without reason. It has little liking for sanitation and hygiene, for it flourishes better on the head of the Hopi In- dian and the Hotentot amid the dirt and the smaller fauna than upon the dome of the aver- age man. Still, not a few highbrows have hair. There are many sure cures for baldness, yet modern man grows less and less hirsute.. Per- laps it is the radio waves or too much education or some ‘such thing, but the day looms when a man with hair on his head, will be as extinci as the dodo, Such is fate. Hopeful Signs After having failed with the McNary-Haugen bill, which, it turned out, was not demanded un- animously by the farmers of the country, the congress has decided not to try to pass any “farm relief” bill this session, Following this announce. ment the price of wheat, which is the hah of the whole present agitation, took /a strong leap up- ward, the net gain for the day being something over two cents the bushel. Observers at the Chicago pit attribute this rise to the relief felt from the situation in con- gress. Corn and oats participated in the general advance. Here we haye it. The politicians pretended they were about to “do something” for the farm- er. While there was a chance that they would do ‘something the wheat market was’ uncertain. Once it was certain that the farmer. was not to be placed in the clutches of the politician, the price of the farmer's products jumped upward. In the face of such an event, we cannot forbear to congratulate the farmers of the country. For a long time they were so much under the domi- nation of the politicians that they believed their promises. They thought because the politicians said the government could help them that there fore the government could help them. Now that the farmers have been sufficiently disillusioned to prevent the passage of absurd legislation, there i little more hope that the rest of the countr, ill learn its lession, Capitalists, as a matter of fact, haye begun to learn theirs. Not long ago, the Harriman Nat- ional bank of New York fell for the blandish- ments of some politician and spent real money praising him, They were dumped, of course, and they had to spend more money getting from under. Their experience was not entirely lost upon other institutions and groups harboring similar illusions, . a With farmers learning the truth and capitah ists on the way, it’only remains for labor to fall into li Only recently the Brotherhood of Lo- comotive Engineers, under the leadership of War- ren 8. Stone, made the mistake of tying up to an- other politician, Senator LaFollette, Before it is over this alliance will cost the engineers dearly, It doesn’t require a very profound intellect to see that, however much the politicians may de- sire to serve the people, they end by serving themselves at the expertse of the people. Real Rum Rebellion By ELDEN SMALL Occasionally nowadays we Kear some ultra- radical reformer talk of the danger of a “whis- key rebellion” in this country as an outgrowth of a disregard for law. [t recalls the real “whis- key rebellion” that actually did oceur in tho United States, and was only put down by the efforts of the president and many federal and state officers, and the calling out of the troops of four states, In the earliest days of this republic, the plans of Alexander Hamilton, secretury of the treas- ury, for its financial support included a ‘federal tax on whiskey, In those days nearly everybody kept liquor in his home, it was traded at the store like eggs and butter, and the provision for taxing it called forth a storm of violent. pro- test, the disorder centering in. Pennsylvania. There the law was defied, federal collectors, beaten and driven out, and the opporition lead- ers included many leading men, including a cab- inet official. cage Disorder reached a point where the president, after issuing several warning — proclamations, called out the militia and marched them toward Allegheny and Washington counties, Pa. where the incipient revolt had its headquarters, The federal force numbered 15,000 men, At the last moment counfel of cooler heads among the “reb. els” prevailed, and actual battle was averted. This was in 1704, rie * . f u < Bie M.

The represen tive of the German youths} peace movemen' speaking at the pacifist conference at the Uni- versity of Chicago, cailed the campaign of for. eign pacifists “an invasion of the United States, and her description was far more significant than she probably intended. The United States is suffering from a most powerful, persistent, and many sided invasion of foreign interests. This in- yasion is directed against our traditional inter- national policy, against our institutions and our principles, against the organization of! the na- tion's defense. It is at work to inyolve us in European political entanglements, through the gate of the league or otherwise, to stimulate par- tisanship in Huropeam quarrels to obscure our sense of self preseryation and national interest, to obstruct the maintenance of our defenses and discredit our patriotism. This in indeed an invasion, a misehief more likely to be victorious-thin an armed inyasion, for it is more insidious, and, therefore, less likely to be combated. Already we see in the churches and colleges, the extent of its advance. The ten- dency of organizations, inexperienced and unin- formed as most.of us in Amevica are as to Hu- ropean conditions and methods, to accept at face value appeals on lofty altruistic grounds, is also apparent; American woman, with her ideals of service, her pity and generosity, is naturally re- ceptive to such appeals, and, possessed of the vote, can register her emotion in the policy and upon the fate of her country as never before. This is to be welcomed, provided always it is directed by intelligent consideration of realities American women’s duty and interest to pro! our birthright are identical with Ameri men’s. It is theirs to help defend the fireside and keep our strong and long-proved roof over our heads, If they are wise they will look this self- styled peace movement in the face. They will ask how it is that the most pacifie power on earth is being exhorted by alien emissaries to be peaceful to put by its time tried policies, foreign and home and to retrace the steps of four forefathers, who wisely and beneficently left the old world to be free from its immemorial strife and free to fol- low a new destiny. Although America threatens and oppresses no one, our pacifists tell us that we dare not be strong lest we abuse our strength. Whether hon- estly confessed, or as in most cases, evaded, that is a policy of nonresistance., Quibbles and so- phistries should not deceive us. Pacifism works for au America too weak to enforce its right or defend its existence. Normal, clear eyed Ameri- can womanhood can no more adopt such a doc- trine than American manhood. It is the duty of both to refuse to adopt it in the sophistical guise of a false altruism.
