UNEMPLOYMENT INSURANCE. v "The world owes me a living" has been said many times, chiefly by idl ers and. ne'er-do-wells. It is hard to see how the world owes any man a living, but that there is a grain of truth in the generality is coming to be realized. Instead, however, of admit ting that it owes every man a living the modern world, only admits that it owes every man an eual chance to earn a living. This is the . fundamental idea un derlying the British scheme of un employment insurance and a national labor exchange, described in Harper's magazine. . The two necessarily go to gether, for before a man can b4 paid insurance while he is out of work the nation must know that he is. not out of work through, his own laziness or indifference". The labor exchange thus not only checks frauds on the insur ance fund, but also makes the labor supply, mobile. In A other words it makes it possible to relieve unemploy ment in one part of the country by moving the nnemployed to another part where' they are needed. It has proved a boon both to the laborers and the employers in seasonal trades. It also is solving the problem of what to do with those broken down in in doqr industry; Before these workers become entirely waste material it re moves them from the employment that is breaking their health and spir it and provides the outdodr labor that builds them up. - ", ' Great Britain is tackling the prob lem of unemployment in a big way. It plans to regulate public work in such a manner that in times of depression men can be employed ; in : building bridges, digging canals, reservoiring destructive rivers, reforestating the moors and rocky hills, building ports, developing water power and doing other labor of a public nature. Such employment will be held in reserve until the necessity for it arises. Before a problem of unemplayment ' is solved, however, the state must go to the sources of the trouble and elim- j inate from the army of the unskilled the large number who have been de nied an education to make them cap able. ; Perhaps some day we will have courts with authority to sentence in efficient-men and women to schools instead of to workhouses. ' ; Chicago woman arrested for selling watered milk said she couldn't help it because her cows got up before day light and ate . dew laden grass. The trusts with watered stock probably wish they could explain as easily. In Detroit, Mich., a teamster has been discovered who was supporting two families on $15 a week.

CEREMONY. Ceremony keeps up all things.. Tls like a penny glass to a rlcb spirit, or some excellent water without It the water were split, the spirit lost Of all people la dies liuve no reason to cry down ceremonies, for they Mike them selves slighted without It And were they : not used with cere- ; raony with compliments and ad dresses, witli less and kissing of . hnmls they were the pltlfulest creatures in the world. . But yet nietblnks to kiss their hands aft er their lips, as some do, is like little boys that after they eat the apple fall to the paring, out of a love they have to the apple.

" -The experience arising from: ! large wage controversies places a serious ' responsibility upon thos whose duty it Is to enact ' proper legislation, governing the -relations between employer and.

It mny hot be nossible to' i '' provent strikes or lockouts by . - requiring compulsory arbitration, ; but It Is wise 'to consider wheth er an obligation should not be placed upon the employer and r employee, to advise the authori ties of the questions at issue be- fore any lockouts or strikes con .'I become effective, .so that by due . publication and inquiry the gov- : ernnient and the public may. be fully Informed of the extent of , the controversy tind Its causes. ;: Samuel Ilea, President Pennsyl- : vuuiu Kailroud.
