The idea of the uatioiiullzation of the coal mines lius taken stronK hold of the iniHKlnatioii of lln^ luincrii, and it is to b«> foared that it ij not the benefit of the country tliat llipy hiive in vli^w, so much a.s an expected* iinprovetncut in thoir own positions. It is the gre;ite.st err;r that the labor inan who has not studied the matter sutlers from to think that because a few men ar.' very rich from private ownordhlp, therefore the dis- tribution of thl.: wealth would make everyone well-to-do. A rich man should be Juilged by the use he ni:ike-i of his wealth, that Is. by his distribution of it. and not merely by the amount of it. Ilockefeller Is supposed to be the richest man alive, ulthuu);h there Is a woman in China who could buy hlni out If he were willing to soil. They say he has $100,000,000. But even If he had lat/0. 000,000 this would be less than $5 a head of the po|:idation of the I'nited Slates. If it were divided up to-day It would be dissipated to-morrow. Definite objects can be accomplished by a wealthy man with public spirit which the Kovornnient cannot or will not undertake. It may be objected that not all wealthy men are piiblic-spirlled. but the ap- plication of thi.s objection to poor men is etjually valid. Poor men without public spirit are just as injurious to a nation as rich ones of the same lempei:. What is needed in our modern life is loss selfish- ness, lof.s disregard for the common welfare, more willlngnegs to regard the whole nation as a n^'at family, every member of which is entitled to the consideration of the whole family. There may be nauchty children In the family, but that Is usually the fault of the family and not the child. There Is something radically wrong with the family or the nation a ma- jority of whose children are naughty. And that is why there is no much unrest in the world to-day. and why we need a new prin-.iple u\wi\ which io build our reconstructed society. To build on the old foundation with the old material Is merely to repeat our old mistakes and solidify them in a more objectionable system than before. We must work, not for what each of us is to get for lii.s work, but for what wo can contribute to the whol-.i national stock. Then, indeed, we shall be justified in asking for a fare share and division, and as th-jie will be plenty for all, no one will be crudijed .vliat he may possess. DEMPSEY AND CARFENTIER SIGN THE PAPERS Maintaining High Wages. No employer of labor nas gone on record anywhere as advocating re- duction of wages, either now or In the future. Tho arguments for higher wages in the past few years have been conclusive. The wages were granted, and the general sense is that they must be inaintaincd. There is one con- dition, however, and it does not seem unrea-sonable. The wages were ad- vanced In war time, when production was speeded up by the workers with a lUe-and-death consciousness of its importance. The Importance is not less at present, and the stabilizing of wages at a great advance on pre-war rate:? in lieu of the piece-work terms of the war years requires a pi-oportlonale return in production. The proprietor of a small factory had occasion to leave his home for some time and left the factory to run itself. When lie returned he found that the workers had taken their own convenience about their work, and when he figured out the net result and found the place had been run In a hole, he closed It up and locked the door. The worker.s gatlierod and Interviewed him and he explained the position and the accounts. They had not produced enough material, he showed them, to pay thoir own wages, not to speak of what might have been i^xpeited as a return on the invest- ment. When this was understood they iironiised reform, and the proprietor Baid he would reopen the factory on condition that they would pr.iduc;; ac- cording to their ability. They agreed, with the result of turning out from fifty to a hundred per cent, over their slack record. Millions of people are doing what the workers in this fHct')ry were doing and unie'^s there is a reform wages cannot be maintained and commodities cannot be che.ip. It is difficult, however, as long as the political economi.sts preach the law of supply and demand, to get the workers to adopt a practice that dlr-ictly cantradlcts that fallacy. The demand for everything is practically iinllinlted. The supply should enual it. The real problem is di.itribution, and the political oconomlsts by falllug to consider it have created the cults of communism and Uolsbevisin. Home Rule Operates in India. This month the great e.tperiment of Home Rule for India has its be- ginning. It is true that it is but a flight meii.^nre of autonomy that has been granted in comparison with the wide uuiliorit> iwisseKsed by Canada, but It Is admittedly an experiment auioi-.g a people utterl.v^ untried in selfgnvern- menl and inclined by their past history to depend upon paternal attention. Under the new regime this will not bi.- withdrawn and at the t^ame time much encouragement will be given to the new electorate to achieve further liberty and to train their unetifranchised friends to be prepared to lake up these important duties of citizenship. Tlie national <i)nsciouRnes« of India has been awakened in a remarkable way, ju -.1 as we have been fold the national consciousness of China has been awal;ene<l. But this Is the more remarkable in India, inasmuch a:' the religious differiuices of the people are very great. In China people are said to luive three rellKinns, but it w.)uld be eiiually true to say of a British scholar that he had three religions if lie were aa Episcopalian, an evolutionist, and a mystic. A man in the same â- way may be a Budhist, a Confucian und follow L:i ) T7.('. and find no contra diction in his religion.-;, pluto, sophieul :;ii(l devcitisnal idea.s. Hal in India It is different. The Hindu, I)i-ahmaii and the .Mohammedan are as the poles apart in their orthodox religions. Yet Hindu and Mohammedan have joined liands in the National movement iu India. There is unfortunately a dis- sentient sentiment, dissatisfied with the scojie of the Home Rule raea.;ure. and affected or infected by President Wil.son's self-deterininati m theories. not to mention Sinn Keln and B<d3hevlst influences.
