The vast majority this part. simply tell us how to think or how to live in conformance to} their ideals, not their experience. Hence, when we find a gen-|/7 uine philosopher speaking from actual personal experience, we |% ought to give him some space in the paper. At last accounts, they had in jail at Cleveland, O,, Ph’! ; osopher Daniel Firth, Mr. Firth ts 75 years old and philo-|j sophizeth on the subject of marriage, to which he has given) much thought and many years of experience. Mr. Firth has} had two wives. He lost his first by divorce and is in jail for shooting the second. Disheartened by the slow process of the law, in the first instance, he philosophically resorted to gun- powder in making alterations in his domestic arrangements Now, you would think that, contemplating the martial re- lation from a cell on the banks of the oily Cayahoga, after (wo unsatisfactory experiments, Daniel would pronounce marriage a failure. Not so with Daniel, Your genuine philosopher never weakens under failure, but sticks to his ideals long after the last dog is hung—an admirable trait in philosophers. _ “Marriage as an institution is all right,” say Daniel. “I have no patience with those who curse matrimony becau their own individual case has proved a failure. In spite of two ineffectual attempts to find marital happiness, I would be will- ing to try it again. Because some people are prostrated by the heat is no reason why we should curse the sun. I should hate to think that my case has discouraged any persor from i Tt would not di me.” ae rely, Danie is a genuine eibssaphes His view pointed, comprehensive. Cheer ap, he says, my case is not the one that proves the rule. Nor does his unwise resort to der to relieve him from unfortunate experiments prove to be a greater fool than philosophers in general. We thave in mind an ancient philosopher, of high standing to this day, who, clad in whiskers and abbreviated pajamas, Jantern and foolishly searched the streets for an honest man, when he might much better have searched the tax assessor's ar . #eturns. [A Crime, According to Law | For picking up pieces of coal from the railroad tracks in Portiand, Ore,, Henry Nigent, 52 years old, unable to speak English, and earning only $2 per day to support his family, twas arrested and is to be charged with larceny. Nigent is German and cannot understand or speak the English language. He has a wife and two children. While passing the Edlefson Fuel yards a train of loaded coal cars backed into the yards. The old man saw several small pieces of coal fail from the cars. He says he didn’t think the was stealing when he up a bucketful of coal. by an officer, hauled to the jail, vagabonds and criminals. with lines of suffqring and long-years of battling with Starvation, wept tearfully when Henry was forced to stay in jail all night. ; Later the charge of trespass placed agaihst Henry was dismissed by the coal company and the more serious charge of [ping larceny placed against his name. Henry will have to stay in jail perhaps many more nights, if the corporation succeeds in convicting him, while the little wife, miserable and ashamed, must stay at home through the Jong nights and weep alone. Notice how they propose to help out those millionaires of the wool trust who have grown fat under Schedule K, while their employes have gone cold and hungry on average wages of $6 per week? $ So long as those Lawrence men, women and children of the mills were content as slaves, they were all right. Now that they want more than the %, they are classed as “undesirable foreign labor,” and it is proposed to relax the strictures of the/R law prohibiting importation of skilled labor from foreign coun- tries under contract. Fibre and Fabric, organ of the textile industries, boldly advocates amendment of the law so that skilled foreigners can be imported to take the places of “the horde of degenerate foreigners” who have so degenerated that they can’t make the $6 cover the cost of rents, food, fuel and clothes. But Massachusetts bids fair to come to her senses. She is beginning to see that starvation wages mean discase, immor- ality and lawlessness in their worst form, and so she is moving] for a minimum-wage system. She is trying to say to the labor which is content in its servility that it is bad for the general welfare, and to brutally greedy capital that it shall not skin both | er and consumer without limit. — SS THE ONE EXCEPTION Parker—1 hear that Smeed owes everybody in the city.
