ready to trade jobs with Harrlman In fact the return from the average farm for the average man is usually about a living and no more. The price of farm products is high, but
all lie lias to buy keeps pace with
the advance in the price of what he has to sell, so that at the end of the year, when he figures up his cash, he finds little more than in othi r years. In the aggregate the farms produce much wealth, but in the individual case the farmer is still working from daylight to dark for j his daily bread. There is no fiftj per cent, prollt for he ordinary fari pier as there is for Mr. Rockefeller I and tlie steel trust.
The Republican papers are giving space to a pretrended news article to tlie effect that prosperity is now here in greater force than ever and every one is prosperous and happy. Rut let us look a little. The current wages in all hut an insigniticant number of factories remain the same or a little lower than in 1H0C. Tlie current wages for the unskilled workman have not advanced. On the other hand all things else have advanced. Flour is higher, meat, cotton and woolen goods except In rare Instances are higher. Thus without increase in wages the laborer Is paying out a considerably larger amount for the necessities of life. This mav be prosperity, hut not for the ordinary man.
THE FARMER. \ great many persons, including prosperity sbouters and politicians are making much in these days of tlie prosperity of tlie farmer. And farm products are high. but we have not noted any of the average farmers growing so wealthy that they are

Failing in this the> will I now attempt to make the street coni form to the established grade of the walks and gutters. Having failed i once is, it Is not possible that the sec t end attempt will simply result in ' making the present low places high and tin' present high places low, inI stead of resulting in uniformity. In | other words if it is not right the first time is tlie “administration” sure it will be right the second time.
It is probable that the Indianapolis clergenien were rather too quick in their resolutions addressed to Governor Marshall because of his Columbus speech. Especially ought Mr. Stansdeld to be more tolerant of criticism since he *as felt free to criticise most of tlie actions of the governor and the state. After all, the church is only an organization and as subject to honest criticism as any other organization or institution. And there is no doubt that Governor Marshall’s criticism was honest, and there be many who think it true as well, and passing resolutions will not change this belief.

TEXAS THE BABY’S ELYSIUM.
One of the most striking instance* or tax hunger vve have observed recently is that of the Atlantic City board of aldermen in deciding to place a tax upon all baby carriages on the Boardwalk. No progeny pushcart is to be allowed on the iloardw 'k tli. t 1 mimt show a tax eyldenc,;.i, tin’ p.*yi i.i i. a privilege license, lays t>e Houston Bust.” This mean that the tens of thousands of m< .hers who visit the Jersey resort everv summer must pay something toward tlie support of the munii j a.lity or have their pie are and comfort or the pleasure and comfort of their babies greatly restri< ted. Thus it eems that everything is

Best Suit
Is the acme of folly to lay the vandal hand of the tax gatherer upon the c fects of babyhood. If the A ,, . , ntie authorities were broad in .. i . and philosophical, in. toad of greedy , they would offer a bounty for baby bugg.es in commission rather than place inch an embargo upon the repleui-h me at of the species. It all goes to iiovc what we hive always c 'Bended. Texas is the baby's oly. him. In Texas everybody loves babies, everybody wants baieo.-. and most families are supplied with bntdes, < r hi pe to be within a very short time. The climate is good for them, the products of the sta’o agree with them, and the states annual crop ot 100.000 Is more highly valued than tlie cotton, corn, rice, sugar, wheat and wool crops put together. They have the right of way wherever they go. The automobiles give baby buggies the thoroughfares, the stuot car stops while a pushcart Is going across I he tracks, and the motorman doffs his hat to the youngster. Babies mav squall like scared panthers without making anybody mad, and they can pull the tails of the cats without getung scratched. So we s-igg"-,t to Jersey n others to leave a state or munielpality that would tax a baby's carriage and come to Texas, where vve exempt ail the belonginc and paraphernalia of babies and seek it to the railroads until the te.ai i e- sweat in January and

To t: 0 report of the eourt martial on the Vdaua massacres, which ha ju.-t. In n made public in Constant! ncple, thete is appended a bit of grim hi— r. Allt strongly denouneing the inei; elty and apathy of the vuli and other loi: I authorities in not tryin . to prevent the awful murders if t'hri'diun Armenians in Adana, the '•eport closes by saying that while 11 have al eady been hanged, there are xi'i) .itho'-s deserving death, ll.DOO who e hard labor ter life and SO,000 who deserve minor sentences, says the New York "Trlb.ine."

This recommendation follows one of the most frightful massacres in Turkey, one where men literally foamed at the mouth with the lust for kil'ing. In a quarter of the city where the Armenians had lien prev iourly (’'.-'armed the Turkish troops sjvarmed, armed with knives and raaga/ine rides and bearin; great cans of kerosene. Smashing in the doors of houses, they poured oil over the furniture in the lower part, and setiing tire to this stood a short distance away and shot down the few who escaped from the flames. In one building 115 women and children were caught and held while otl was poured over their clothes, after which the torch was applied and they were left writhing in the street until death ended their torture. A hospital tilled with sick ami wounded was burned; unmentionable atrocities were ('.united on little children; d' of the dead were mutilated, and thi 1 came the court martial report.

Renting Brains. A novel advertisement is headed Brains for Lease—Normal weight--trained for hack work and unimpaired by age, disease, dissipation or drink." Economists have been in the habit of insisting that wealth must be external to the possessor—what a man has, not what he is. But this ad vertisement will give them pause. It goes on to state the net product that brains aforesaid can turn out—''15,000 words per month—more, if cheaper quality is desired.” The present lease hilder of the cerebral tenement volunteers the news that the property affords the owner a rental of I’.ttOO per annum,' but “is worth more, and he Intends to get it." Bvi dently, racking one's brains has some connection with a rack rent. \S’e should advise the owner of all this gra> matter to be careful about the disclosures he is making. Has he never heard of the proposed tax upon “the unearned increment?" Has he no fear of the income tax? Is he not afraid to go to sleep with all that wealth on his pillow? He was never Intended for hack work—that is clear from the advertisement. Let him seek a position more worthy of his talents.—New York Evening Post.
