FETICHES. help the possessor. fe J Standard Oil is a fetich which, paraded through the Stock Exchange, Ises or lowers prices, hovering over a Legislature it influences legislation, spering to Congress it affects the tariff and the enforcement of the Interstate Commerce law. Tammany Hall is a fetich. The mention of ts might and influence carries awe to every business man, dread to the Balocss-keeper, and it impels every contractor to put his hands upon his t, J. P. Morgan & Co.—the murmur of the name to the little coun- bank makes the president and the cashier fearful of discounting the Paper of any of the independent manufacturers competing with Morgan- promoted trusts. The list might be extended to the members of the Legislature, who fear that a corporation will defeat their renomination; to the Boards of Hy) “Assessors, who fear to cross-examine rich men about their personal prop- erty and to make the large corporations pay their long overdue taxes; to the depositor in a crooked bank, or the owner of a life insurance policy, Who shrinks from overturning the cormorants who fatten on his savings. Still, they are alt only fetiches, and should an iconoclastic public en- ter the innermost temples they would find nothing but easily overturned tt gods of human clay, eneiuas a STRIKE AT THEIR POCKETS, 4 Li: Commissioner Tecumseh Sherman, of the State Department of Labor, the B son of Gen, W. T, Sherman, proposes to strike at the sweatshops by Aabelling all clothing manufactured under unsanitary and illegal conditions, thstead of prosecuting the operators the clothing itself will be marked. * The enforcement of the laws which prohibit the manufacture of cloth- i the laws are to be retained upon the statute books, Otherwise the law- abiding manufacturer will be discriminated against.

HOTEL LIFE, ‘ an interesting defense of hotel life in a newspaper interview. He began (at 'Rathbun’s Hotel, at the corner of Broadway and Cortlandt street, in 847, moved from there to the old St. Nicholas and on to the Plaza, _ whence he had to remove on the demolition of the hotel. () lack of household cares and irksome routine, A man may be alone while |} he pleases, or haye companions when he pleases, and there is no obligation to do one or the other. He does not have to keep any regular hours, and he can get what he wants to eat whenever he wants It, Mr. Bond also i. tecommends hotel life for children in the opportunity it gives them to ob- iB serve the conduct of others and in the necessity of their behaving them- selves, As New York is becoming more and more a city of hotels, and there are comparatively fewer and fewer homes, Mr. Bond’s philosophic argu- i}; Ment should be accepted by all people who live in hotels, though it cer- tainly will not be coincided in by others, FACTS ABOUT CHILDREN, , if 1 ‘A London medical journal has collected from many physicians sta- i , tistics as to English tenement-house children, The results have been tabu- >. lated according to the religion, race and nationality of the parents. The te Hebrew children are both heavier and healthier than the children born to \)’ parents of other religions, At the age of twelve the Hebrew children aver- , 1 age seben pounds more weight and one and a quarter inches more height. } Mhey also have better teeth and much better lungs and breathing capacity. ai ‘The physicians on New York’s east side find a similar state of facts, SN and that the death rate is lower and the vitality higher in the Hebrew chil- tt * dren than in children of any other race, eS If the causes for this superior healthfutness were analyzed it might if ‘ be found that the old Mosaic health code would greatly account for it. | Ri) In Hawail there are no snakes. The Yonolulu Zoo imported a box Of snakes to exhibit, but the natives insistel on their being returned lest ‘an escape and destroy the sole resemblance of the Hawailan Islands to land, Class day-confessions give a larger number of girl graduates engaged i. they are earning enough money to support a wife, with the owners of tainted money and the corruptors of public officials, Good-looking men with melodious voices find it easier to get money from women than from other men, The People’s Corner. i Letters from Evening World Readers Fashion Versus Comfort, 4 yO week.

SHB,” sald The Cigar Store Man, ‘that there {s » great outburst | of indignation on the part of certain manufacturers and finans clers because we don't meet Chinese scholars and merchants coming to the United States with brass bands and give them the key to the front door,” “Tt 1s certainly too bad the way we hand the chilly mitt to those high grade Chinks,” agreed The Man Higher Up. ‘Too long have we kept the — Chinese away from our hospitable shores. The people who are kicking | about it say that we are justified in barring out the cheap Chinese, but that , the scholars nn merchants and professional pig tail wearers should be sbown every courtesy. { “Sure, Mike! But where are they? How many of them come to thts country and what do they come for? It isn’t the educated Chinese thatare trying to butt Into the United States, You don't see them hanging around the Vanadian border waiting to be smuggled in, nor are they camping along the Mexican side of the Rio Grande. The yellow men who are anxious to mingle with us are the oneq. who are willing to work for 25 cents a day and a quiet spot to hit the pipe in. “The people best qualified to talk about the Chinese and whether they should be excluded or not are the people of the Pactfic coast. They know the Chink for what he is and you can't find a man from Portland to Los Angeles who won't tell you, if he talks honest, that the Chink is a chopper of wages, a spreader of disense and the advance agent of immorality. “The only arguments for Chinese immigration come from men intere ested in cheap labor. They are the people who imported the Hungarians, Polapks and Italians in the hope of slicing the rate of pay for unskilled labor, but the Polacks and Huns and Italians are white men. They assim- {lated with the people, got wise to the fact that they were being played for” suckers, joined labor unions and ungratefully demanded wages that would enable them to support themselves and their families, ‘ “The Chinsese laborer will work all day for 50 cents and look upon John D. Rockefeller as a piker, The minute we give the glad hand to Chinese scholars and merchants every coolle asking for admittance will produce papers to show that he {s a scholar or a merchant. That's the way we get our laundrymen now. Every train coming down from Northern New York has a few of them aboard. As fast ag they reach New Yerk they are put into laundries by their wife countrymen who have got next to our methods of monopoly. The Chinese Jaundryman as a general thing don’t own his laundry. He gets paid ’o much a day by the Chinatown moguls and on Sunday these same moguls, as proprietors of the Chinatown gambling houses, tako hic wages away from him,” sa “1 thought,” declared The Cigar Store Man, “that most of the Chinamen go to Sunday gchool and become Christians.” “It's @ matter of business with the Chink,” replied The Man Higher Up, “but I never heard of Christian Chinaman who threw away his joss after hia conversion.” eee oh Little Willie's Guide to New York. ,.
