Many of the things he says about the idiocies of American government « are ' THE SEATTLE !

Of course, we pay more attention in America to raising hags than we do to raising children—governmentally, at A hog is a chattel, A child is merely a possible The Star’s disgust over this condition | of affairs is just as deep as Steffens But ranting about ‘revolutions isn’t going to change it.

As ascertained by the bureau of crop estimates, United States department of agriculture, the! javerage wage rate for labor hired by the month was $46.89, with board, and $4.36 without board; for day| }labor other than at harvest, $2.86 with board, and $3.59, | without board. | The rate of 1895 for hiring by the month without board was $17.69 as an average for the United States, and no other year in the record of the bureau extending back to 1866 had a lower rate, except 1879 with $16.42. By 1902, this wage rate had increased to $22.14, by} 1914 to $29.88, followed by $30.15 in 1915, with no evi- ‘dence of war effect. This effect appeared, perhaps, as a small beginning in the next year, 1916, when the wage rate was $32.83. Then followed rapid rise to $40.43 in 1917, to $47.07 in 1918, to $56.29 in 1919 and to $64.95 in 1920. The rate of gain over 1895 was 70 per cent in 1915 and 267 per cent in 1920. From 1915 to 1920, farm labor received a gain in wage rate as high as 115 per cent. This was one of the causes of the greatly increased cost'of producing things on the farm, which has hit the farmer so hard in the declining |market for his crops of 1920. | Profit From Pain ERHAPS, after all, the unpleasant things may have their value and that value may sometimes be greater than the good that comes quite sugar-coated. | Anyway— It is odd that after Milton quarreled with his wife he should have written about hell and the fall of man thru! woman's disregard of law so brilliantly that “Paradise} Lost” is the one great poem in English, while “Paradise Regained” is a dull and prosy, almost mediocre thing. Or that Samuel Bugler, intellectual youth with a clerical father who made his early life a burden, should have made} this chief bid for lasting fame with “The Way of All) Flesh,” a biting satire on the English established church. And, too—Anatole France found the inspiration for “The| Crime of Sylvestre Bonnard,” the book which won the} |French Academy prize, in the boorish, vulgar behavior of} \a drunken unc™ whose lascivious tales of adventures int the Napoleonic wars made France’s mother blush for shame in |her own house. | There was Montaigne, who suffered terrible pain from} a chronic disease most of his life, and who in the intervals of agony wrote scores,of moral essays, the best of which} |deal with pain and. death. | | There are no more wonderful love letters in the world than those of Abelard and Heloise, whose lives were spent} aimost fully in abject sorrow and misery.

I Invite your attention to the ex pediency of the suggestion adopted by soldiers at Camp Lewis towards solving the problem of specific devig- nation, of the mighty mountain whose snow-capped peaks overlook their camp. Military wen abhor confusion in names in the same way that “nature abhors a vacuum”—and they custo- marily adopt decisive methods to remedy existing confusion and duplt- cation in the designation of places and landmarks around them, During their battle exercives, field maneuvers and artillery practice over this magnificent military reser- vation at Camp Lewis—in all of which “The Mountain” becomes their taction! landmark and primary ort- entation point—there has existed considerable confusion and annoy- ance from the errecurrent varia- tion in topographical references, some denignating the mountain as “Rainier,” and others as “Tacoma.” ‘This practice, from a military point of view, in intolerable. Hence, there has evolved the handy and practical | compromise —~ Mount “KAINIERTA COMA”™—which iw unhyphenated, eu- phonious in sound, and no harder for them to pronounce than “Mount Popeeatapetl,” “Appalachian,” “Him. alaya” or “Vesuvius” Why could not our people join with these soldiers in referring to the lerdly sentinel that overlooks their homes as Mount Rainiertacoma? “The press is mightier than the sword” in moving mountains, Hence the subminsion of the suggestion to you, OLIVER H.
