The deportment of these employes has been eminently satisfactory fto the. (management. The prediction that they,, would' be careless in regard to. their work has not been borne out by the ifa^ts. With pos sibly only one exception'-every indi vidual has put spirit into his task, and has labored intelligently and con scientiously. Start New Factory. The management has started to manufacture 500. toy locomotives. The length is two feet. It is a high-grade two.

Following are some ~6f the rules for the government fhe facory, which are posed up ii a conspicuous place: "This establishment is run upon the principles of self-help and mutual as sistance. "It pays no' dividends to sharehold ers, and does not aim at the, accumu lation of profits. "Until further notice the hours of labor in this workshop shall be six per day, from 9 o'clock A. M. to 12 o'clock" noon, and from 1:15 to 4:15 o'clock p. m. "Tools when used, must be prompt ly returned to their proper places. "This shop shall be kept in as clean ly a state as possible, and each even ing before closing shall be swept out and all waste material properly de posited The committee of management be lieve that by the winter of 190 9they will be in a position to greatly in crease the staff of employes. The present hours of labor make a work day of six hours. The men are work ed in relays, being given frorii four to six days in shift, according to the necessit yof the case. Every man Is paid for his work, arid it does away with the element of icharit yaltogether. OPPORTUNITY. Master of human destinies am I, Fame, love and fortune on my foot steps wait, Cities and fields I walk I penetrate Desert and seas remote, and, passing by Hovel and mart or palace, soon or late I knock unbidden once at every gate. If keeping, wake—-if feasting, *i5e be fore I'tarn away. It is the hour of fate, And ibey who follow me, .reach every state Mortals desire,. and conquer every foe Save death but thode who doubt or hesitate, Condemned to failure, penury and woe, Seek me in vain and* uselessly implore, I answer not and I j-etVirn 'no- more. —JOHN J.

Progress Made by Society Due to the Influence of Chris tianity. Tenth of Series of Labor World Contributions by Rev. Ohas. Stelzle. In no city or country in the world are the christians in a majority. The men outside of the church control the courts and the legislatures, but the progress which has* been made Is due to the direct and indirect Influences of Christianity. The' church has often' been at fault and in some things it is to blame today but no matter FROM OUR %how dark the age, the church has always been the whitest light in history and when reform came. to the' church it came from within, and not from with out. To quote from the significant resolutions passed by the great church conference in Philadelphia, represent ing nearly twenty million members, the attention of workingmen should be called to the fact that "The institution of a day of rest secured for the toilers of 'Christendom by the very charter of the\jhurch has been defended on their behalf by it throughout the centuries "That "the streams of philanthropy which supply a thousand needs have their springs, for the most part, in christian devotion "That the fundamental rights of men upon which rest the pillars of this mighty group of commonwealths are a heritage front the conscience and consecration ^of men who ac knowledge Jesus Christ as master "That the free ministrations to the community on the part of tens of thousands of churches attest the pur pose of the followers odt Christ "That the church, while it may not •have accepted the task of announc ing an industrial program, is. at heart eager with the Impulses of service and is more than ever ready to express the spirit of its Lord "That in the quest for the forces by which the larger hopes of the work ingmen of America may be most of the industrial worlld can better speedily and fully realized, the leaders afford to lose aH others than those which are today and have been for nearl ytwo thousand years at work in the faith, the motive andi the devotion of the church of Jesus Christ." Of course twill be said b(y the so cialist that he is going to eradicate the necessity for philanthropy and very much that the church is doing today and has been: doing throughout the ages. But even in this respect the church has done more than so cialism. However, in the meantime, it has been trying to alleviate the suf ferings of mankind. While the world has been getting ready to take an official step in the matter of securing1 a! larger measure of justice for the workers, the church has been minis tering to those, who, ,h9,ye fallen bjr the wayside. It. has brought. com fort to the sorrowing and relief "for the suffering. In this taask it has unquestionably been without a peer in all history andI for this work the church, in# all fairness, should receive due credit. Not that it cares for it particularly, nor is it demanding such recognition, but in an unbiased con sideration of the whole subject these facts should be reckoned with. EXCHANGES. Utterly Impracticable. Congress could not If it wished to create a tariff commission with power to change the rates of duty from time to time. It would, be delegating the taxing' power of congress, it certainly would not do it, and in all probability the attempt to do it would be uncon stitutional. The subject comes up again through correspondence between Mr. Campion, of Philadelphia, and the, president elect. According to the Record of that city, Mir, Campion wrote to Mr. Taft •that he thought a tariff commission changing the rates of duty at frequent intervals would paralyze business. Mr. Taft replied that t\e commission he had expressed his approval of was not to levy duties but what he had in mind was "some commission of ex perts in the government who shall keep traick of the varying costs of produc tion of the numerous articles in the tariff. The great -trouble about the tariff" is the difficulty of obtaining a knowledge of the facts, and I think we ought to have experts to do It." Such a commission would be entire ly impracticable. Mr. Taft Is mis taken if he thinks the great trouble is the difficulty of obtaining a knowledge of the facts. The great difficulty is the persistence of self-interest in fighting for all it can get. No manu facturer would admit a statement of the costs of production that should show his protection to be excessive. Mr. 'Schwab has hedged on his own statement of the cost of making steel. Mr. Carnegie knows as much about the steel business as anybody, and he says it needs no protection. He .said very nearly that while he was in the bxisi ness. But mOst of the steel men re fuse to* admit it. The manufacturers do not disclose •their costs for production. The ways and means committtee in its recent hearings rpade no effort to get at. the costs of productic»i, which involves a statistical inquiry. It simply listened to what manufacturers said about'the amount of protection they thought they ought to have. In'the iclamor of Self-interest the facts, have no chance. If a commission could ascertain the facts congress would not listen to it. The star, San mrancisco. •. WOROS OF WI*DOM. To save your faith from formalism translate every article into &n\act.
