Sophistication is just n misfortune that makes you
harder to entertain.
Perhaps a necessity can best be defined as anything the
neighbors can have without arousing your envy.
The father who laments the way his son drives the
family car ai)d uses it as a joy-riding vehicle can prob
ably recall the days when the family driving team suf
fered similar' trcutment for a similar purpose a generation
ago..' : ";",:

; Bynkerlrofomninnd !0-year senlonccs for robbers. That's
a sensible idea but it's not the length of the sentence but
the tijne they stay that should count. Pardons and paroles
are justified in many instances, perhaps,' but if they were
considerably decreased it would be one .means of reducing
(l'imol in Imo-iI-p i .'.im' i. . ' '
! -,( ( DAWKS STILL AT IT.
Charlie Dawes, known during business hours as vice
president of the United States, still thinks that the senate
rules Mof procedure are bunk, lie hasn't changed a bit
since last March when he.told the members so to their faces,
and though lie no longer has an opportunity to repeat the
same story to the same hearers, he finds plenty of chances
to tell voters all about it and does. , As an example, just
before the opening of congress he spoke to the Ilepubliean
Women's Clubs of Illinois, in' a Chicago meeting:
' "Just suppose that the chairman of a woman's '
J club were to announce that any lady could talk as
, long as she pleased on a cure for rheumatism or
the boundaries of A.ei baijan. The women would
think it an ill-limed joke, for a minute. Then if
that really happened, they'd agree that the chair
man was mentally unbalanced.
',"l!ut the United States senate, alono of all the
great deliberative bodies of the earth, has the right
to - unlimited debate. Deliberative, ban. ... .
The senate passed 1(10 bills in 1(10 minutes. Not
time to read their titles. And they call it a de
liberative body. . . J" '
So the battle rages on, and we have at least one iniiii
in puljic office who admits that the senate is not the lioly-ol'-holies
that some of the jealous members would have us
believe. Dawes will not get far right now with his reform
program but he will be a most valuable watch dog when
filibustering gets stalled, and he' should therefoie be a
great aid to sensible legislation.

I are also well aware that
jthere is. ut present, no scarcity of
Inbor and no difficulty whatever
I in obtaining nioro men than wr

now paying1."
In explaining the wage scale, the
bulletin continues "while our wag
es for common labor may have
seemed kouic what low. in the main
the work that lias brought higher
wages has been seasonable and not
nf .a permanent nature. Therefore,
we believe that taking into consid
eration that our men liaxe been
given employment, the liberal way
in which we have dealt with them
in casr of sickness, together with
the Kroup insurance that we are
carrying on all uwn that have
I been in our employ six months or
i morn (this now includes 378 men
jwlth u total of $.'175,000 insurance)
jthut our permanent employes have
(done as well or better than, they
I could have done elsewhere.
"All of the above is to impress
you I hat In making t his adjust
ment in wages effective January 1,
we aro doing so with the feeling
that It is not necessary in order
to obtain nil of the labor tint Wc
require, nor because the men that
are wit h mm a re not receiving ns
: much as t hry can obtain else
where, but it Is altogether with the
thought of dealing fairly with the
men and to gain their confidence,
with the hope of building up a per
manent and efficient .rgiinization

ible the tabor turnover.
