SUES eve Se Boaeri ‘Motered at the Post-Omce at New York a» Second-Class Mail Matter, OLUME 48......, NO. 16,012 SQUEEZING THE MIDDLE CLASS. On these men the burden of life yearly grows heavier, The high Schools, colleges, universities and professional schools are turning “out “every year hundreds of thousands of young men who do not fit inta 63 present economic conditions without a severe adaptive process, The char- q otha the professions has changed. A great modern law office is a law ry. Physicians, engineers, architects have few opportunities to set “up for themselves, but become hired men in corporate employ, with as little prospect of business or professional Independence as any other of the ‘employees, And they are worse paid, A skilled mechanic earns much higher wages than the average lawyer, doctor or engineer. He has not the Same standard of living to keep up and his employment is much more certain, The grinding competition of modern life is squeezing the middle class, It Is there that race suicide most prevails, Life is becoming more bitter to the men whose education has enlarged their ambition and whose money- making ability is not equal to the enlargement. WHO IS THE GOVERNMENT? Government, The Consolidated Gas desires to influence the new Gas Commis: > sion. That is part of the executive branch of the Government, The Life Insurance system desires to prevent any lev'stetion, This affects the third branch of the Government, If Thomas F, Ryan has a finger in all these pies, if a Judge wh should be kicked off the bench stays on by Mr. Ryan's favor, if the ex- / ecutive department does as Mr. Ryan wishes and if the Legislature also © obeys his will, By. Who is the Government of the State of New York and what do| # © the people amount to? SIMMERED DOWN, ‘Wall street has formulated its complaint against the stock transfer tax. A fortnight’s operation has had no effect whatever on investment in buying and selling, and the $2 stamp on each 100-share sale has not perceptibly influenced the dealings by the outside speculators who have to pay $12.50 brokerage fees, Where the tax has cut is in Its effect upon the professional stock gamblers, who are members of the Stock Exchange and who have to pay q No fee to gamble except the $1 clearing charge. Where formerly it cos i them only $1 to bet that a stock would go up or go down now it cost is them $3. q Like other gamblers the professional stock gambler realizes the ef » fect of a kitty upon a gambling percentage, The occasional speculato: does not. He disregards in his calculations the accumulative effect of brokerage fee upon success in speculation. The result on Wall stree Speculation of the tax has been to diminish the floor trading. It has hic no appreciable effect upon either investors or stock speculators other that the members of the Stock Exchange, As their membership represents ; present market value of over $80,000,000, which has hitherto been un taxed, the stock transfer tax has simmered down to the taxation of thi previously untaxed wealth, MEMORIES. Even the memories of the Slocum disaster cause death, There i Now at the Morgue the body of a woman who on the anniversary of the disaster jumped from a ferry-boat and committed suicide near where th Slocum was beached. The memories of the lost relatives and friend continue and the sorrows of that day will never be removed from the des | Olated homes. w Private griefs last longer than public wrath, A great public wrong lingers long in the memory only of those whose personal happiness ha been taken away or private life wrecked by the acts of injustice, Puli sympathy is an ephemeral thing, It is upon these facts that the great scoundrels who perpetrate publi iniquity so confidently rely. The Department of, Justice is afier the Mormons again, Havin F demonstrated there are no criminal trusts the Department of Justic must be grateful for an opportunity to prosecute somebody.

But not one of them has ever uttered a peep, It 18 like the old gag of puttitig a padlock on the barn door after somebody, has kidnapped the horge,” “It 1 strange,” mused The Cigar Store Man, “Maybe,” surgested The Man Higher Up, “the Equitable books are written in invisible ink." 45 —_____++.
