Where Does the Fault Lie?

According to the handbook recently issued by the Richmond Commercial Club the city of Richmond has the most satisfactory labor conditions of any place in the state. The report is not explicit and does not set forth whether this condition is satisfactory to the employer or to the employe so that we must assume that it means that the condition is mutually satisfactory. In conversations with employers of labor the -absence of strikes and the absence of representation of organized labor are generally spoken of as being healthy and satisfactory conditions. Further statements in the Commercial Club survey of Richmond give the impression that wealth is widely diffused and equally distributed. This comes about from the statements that the city of Richmond is the wealthiest per capita and also that more men own their own homes here than elsewhere. , This suggests that the working men of Richmond are thrifty, sober, industrious and part of the social fabric not aliens and not transients. One would therefore expect to find a well paid working force in Richmond which had found it easy to save enough to buy homes and to lay much aside in the savings departments of banks and loan associations. From the same source the average wage in Richmond seems to be less than $14 a week. These are the figures turned in to Secretary Jordan. If these are mistakes the fault lies with those turning in statistics. For the last three years there has been a great Increase in the material prosperity of Richmond manufacturers and merchants. In the last three years The Palladium has heard many complaints from average citizens about the difficulty of making both ends meet. Where does the fault lie? Does it lie with the manufacturer? Does it He with the merchant? Does it lie with conditions over which they have no control? Does It lie with the Individual? Is there such a thing as the high cost of living? How far is the scale of living advanced necessarily? " How many things that were luxuries ten years ago have become luxuries today? Have the luxuries of ten years ago become necessities today? If so, what are they? Have the luxuries of the employing class increased at a higher ratio than those of the employes? Is this a local situation? Is it a state situation. Is it a national situation? In what percentages? Before the year is over this city of Richmond ought to look this thing squarely in the face and determine what the real state of things is and

what can be done to change it. The Palldium brings up this question because it believes that it is the most important one facing every individual in Richmond even as it is before the whole country. We believe that it Is from a combination of the things which are suggested in the above questions. But to what extent we do not know precisely. There are no accurate figures at hand. It seems very certain to us that if the everyday working man finds difficulty with the purchasing power of his dollar we shall have two things in Richmond which no one wants to see here. 1. Labor trouble. 2. Mercantile depression. In other words there will be a fight for the dollar in order to buy the necessaries of life. There will not be so much bought from local merchants. These are not healthy conditions. These troubles are being found everywhere and are only just manifesting themselves in Richmond. Undoubtedly there will be a few men who will say that this paper is "hurting business." We think that it is self evident that we wish only true prosperity. . , This thing came up because The Palladium discovered that living conditions are at the present time higher in Richmond than in other places. If this does not hurt the town and breed trouble the experience of every other town is of no value.

A LAD OF MYSTERY.

"That Awful Boy Jones," Who Tor. mantad Quaan Victoria. For a little while about the middle 5f the nineteenth century "that awful boy Jones" was the torment of Queen Victoria's life, and bis short career in public contains a mystery which would try the mettle of Sherlock Holmes. He was a barber's apprentice who in some unexplained way discovered a passage into Buckingham palace, with which be alctie was acquainted. When he was first found trespassing he was gently admonished and sent borne. Soon after be was encountered again In the paluce. He would not tell how he obtained access. Again he was sent home, and again he reappeared. Once he calmly admitted that be bad been lodging iu the palace for a fortnight. He had laid snug during the day, sleeping la the royal apartments, and at nigbt had wandered from room to room, helping himself to the food left over from royal repasts. He had seen the queen repeatedly and indeed had never been far from her. , The matter was considered so serious that the boy was summoned before a special meeting of the privy council. He refused to give any account of his secret Soon after he disappeared, and It is supposed that he was removed under state protection. London Globe.

A BYRON STATUE. Made For Westminster Abbey, but Dean Lincoln Refused It. Many years ago some admirers of Lord Byron raised a subscription for a monument to the poet to be placed In Westminster abbey. Chantrey was requested to execute it, but on account of the smallness of the sum subscribed he declined, and Tborwaldsen was then applied to and cheerfully undertook the work. In about 1S33 the finished statue arrived at the customs house In London, but to the astonishment of the subscribers the dean of Westminster, Dr. Ireland, declined to give permission to have it set up in the abbey, and owing to this difficulty, which proved insurmountable, for Dr. Ireland's successor was of the same opinion. It remained for upward of twelve years In the customs house, when (1846) it was removed to the library of Trinity college, Cambridge. The poet Is represented In the statue of the size of life, seated on a ruin, with his left foot resting on the fragment of a column. In his right hand he holds a style up to his mouth, in his left a book. Inscribed "Childe Harold." He is dressed in a frock coat and cloak. Beside him on the left is a skull, above which is the Athenian owl. The likeness is, of course, posthumous. Thorwaldsen was born Nov. 19, 1770, and died on March 24. 1S44. Exchange.

Edtior Palladium:

The article appearing in the Palladium of Sunday, August 27, giving the opinion of C. B. Hunt as to the cause

of the present high cost of living is a

revelation and creates a distinction that few of us realized as existing. Mr. Hunt proposes a remedy for the present high cost of living by pointing out the cause, which is, that the high cost of living would never exist were it not for the capacity of high living on the part of the poorer classes. In other words the ordinary wage earner should be satisfied with an inferior article of food to build up the physical tissues which are torn down by the arduous nature of his labor. They have no rights or claims upon the market for first class provisions. May I ask you, Mr. Hunt to enlarge

a little further upon your theory by giving us a dietary classification that will tonform to your idea as to what is a fit menu for the poor man's table? To what stage of purification should bacon reach to be considered as a sec ond class commodity and fit for consumption by the "poor people?" To what degree of incubation should eggs be advanced to be considered unfit food for the parties of the first class thereby placing them in the category of fitness for the "common people?" What strength to the square inch should be accepted as a standard with which to mark the line of distinction on butter, separating that which is fit

for the rich and unfit for the poor or unfit for the rich and fit for the poor?

How close to the edge of the table should cheese be permitted to walk to determine its unfitness for the table of the rich? When declared unfit and is consequently relegated to the table of the poorer classes, what proportion of embalming fluid would you recommend as necessary to preserve its form and arrest its progress of decom-

j position?

Will you kindly tell us how to determine first from second class meat, as prices do not indicate the beef that was killed because of its failure to stand the tuberculosis test? How long may pigs' feet be exposed after being taken from cold storage, before being placed in line as fitted for the "common people?" How are "soup bones" classified? Is there enough to go round? Are prices affected by the large demand? Is the present price of 2c per potato due to the demand for first class potatoes? To think of it. Here we have -been foolishly led to believe that high prices was due to monopolistic manipulations when the very causes have been ourselves, that is, if you can get any one to believe it. Mr. Hunt seemingly wants to go the philosopher one better, who says: "The tragedy of modern civilization is the sacrifice of human life to the necessity ' of obtaining the physical means of living." Mr. Hunt would have us believe that "the tragedy of modern civilization is the sacrifices the rich are compelled to make to satisfy tbe lust for "eats" by the "poor" or "common people." To think again Mr. Hunt is my sug

gestion, and before you make any fur

ther statements for publication just think of what you would do to a dog

that bites your hand while proffering

to him a home. I do not wish to be understood as insinuating that the dog has more intelligence than a human being but he seldom bites those who feed him. No further comment is necessary. John C. Genn, Richmond, Ind.

FIGHT ON! Life is a fight. If sometimes the battle goes against you, do not whine. Are you made of fiber or of pulp? If of pulp, you will slump down into Innocuous desuetude; if of fiber, you. will grit your teeth and pitch in. Do not go dowu at the first hard thump. Stand up like a man and take your punishment without bawling If adversity draws a little blood on you or blacks your eye, that is no reason why you should throw up the onge. Grin and bear it A swelled lip or the loss of a tooth does not constitute a knockout. If the wound hurts, smile. And stand and fight as long as your legs will hold you up. Play the man. The world, the flesh and the devil are trying your mettle. Be game. De

velop your muscles and. make or

break, fight the fight You cannot always win out. And sometimes you will get a solar plerus bloV or a left hauder on the point of your chin. But Do not take the count.

While there is an ounce of fight in

you do not lie sprawling, but get up

and go at it again. General George Washington was often defeated, but he was never whipped. Joe Wheeler was as good a fighter in the Cuban war as in '63, when he was thirty-five years younger. Stand up and take your mauling. When hit don't squeal. Smile and get under the foe's guard. And force the fighting! Fate itself gets tired of always facing a determined man. When they called on John Taul Jones to surrender his ship was in splinters, but he howled back through his trumpet that he had not yet begun to fight. Fight on. If your sword is broken, then fight with broken sword. If yon fight with a gun, shoot or give up the gun. And if you run out of ammunition use the

gunstock as a club. Be game. Vim and vigor and victory all begin with the name letter.

Tha Bayonet..; The bayonet is said to have derived its name from the fact tbat It was first made at Bayonne. and its origin Illustrates the proverb "Necessity is the mother of invention." A Basque regiment was bard pressed by the enemy on a mountain ridge near Bayonne. One of the soldiers suggest ed tbat, as their ammunition was es hausted. they should fix their long knives into the barrels of their muskets. The suggestion was acted upon. Teh first bayonet charge was made and the victory of the Basques led to the manufacture ot the weapon at Bayonne and its adoption luto tbe armies of Europe. A gas meter that automatically prints a bill for the amount of gas consumed when it is desired is a novelty.

IN THE SINK. My! Aren't they ce testable? those sneaky little roaches that creep and prowl all over everything. You know how spry they are. But they can't dodge Hewitt's Easy Task' Soap, and tbey can't abide it, so they clear right out Hewitt's Easy Task , Laundry Soap is white and pure; keeps sinks, bathrooms and pantry shelves clean and sweet and free from mustiness.

ALBERT FRANCOIS LEBRUN. Albert Francois Lebrun, who holds

the post of colonial minister in the

new French cabinet, was born in Mer-cy-le-Haut, August 29, 1871. He received his preparatory education in the lyceum at Nancy and later attended the Polytechnical College and the National School of Mines. For several years after finishing his education he held a professorship in one of the leading technical schools of France. About eight years ago he first became active in political affairs in his home district and subsequently was elected to the Chamber of Deputies. As a member of the chamber he soon attracted attention by his readiness in debate and his wide and thorough knowledge of practical affairs. His appointment to the important position of colonial minister at an age when most men are -still fighting for recognition occasioned little surprise in French political circles.
