Experi- ence gives an entirely different view. Union wages are, in effect, minimum wages, and it is not to be disputed that unionism has effected in- crease in wages. The minimum wage proposition merely provides for doing by law what labor has large- * dy succeeded in doing by. organization. To allay Mr. Wilson’s fear of a pulling of wages) downward, it can be stated that the minimum wage means a minimum so high that under it no ities cos demoralize society through the degener-| | acy of wage-earners, and that an exact “common) level” would no more necessarily follow than it does | at present. There are, and always will be, employers | willing to pay more than “the going rates” to workmen | above the average as to efficiency. The minimum means “not less.” [t does not mean “no more.” And its object is to lift up, not to pull downward. Where Does Insanity Begin? Where does sanity end and insanity begin? Dr. Matthews of the First Presbyterian church said in an interview in The Star the other day that he consiclered insan- inheritable, and that he would refuse to marry a person in jose family insanity “runs,” just as he would refuse to marry ® person suffering from the Black Plague, or tuberculosis, or Bay other inheritable disease. Yet people of nervous temperaments may give the world $ts most inspired minds. Many of the world’s best minds were wn the verge of insanity. Goethe, Germany’s Shakespeare, was beside himself at Emerson was a man of a type which furnishes many luna- Martin Luther “saw things,” and at one time threw his Gnkstand at the devil, whom he imagined he saw standing in Bhe room. Max Nordau has listed as “degenerates” a large number wf men of genius, among them Walt Whitman, Rosetti, the Poet, and many painters. William Blake, author of some of the most beautiful poems Ym our language, died insane. Dean Swift, like the tree he once @oralized upon, “died first at the top.” These men had thinking machines which were driven so ony that they broke down or “wabbled.” But how much f is the wortd for the high-power brain, even if it does Break down!
