T* },v is it one man gets thirty
uolhr- per week for superintend
ing ten men. all of superior physi
cal ability, who are paid nine dol
lars a week each? "When a poor
ly paid man manifests superior
knowledge of his work he is pro
moted. and always gets an easier
job and better pay. Once in a
large factory, something got' out
of tix with an essential machine.
Several workmen were called in to
remedy the defect, but after ex
pensive delays, the manager was
advised to call in a certain expert,
and he did so. The expert exam
ined the defect, tapped the machine
here and there with a light ham
mer, called for a monkey wrench,
gave a certain nut a turn or two
ind told the manager to start up,
for “she’s all right now.” The
ell pleased manager conducted
the expert to his office and asked
him how much he charged. “Twen
ty-one dollars,” was the reply. “Is
not that a heavy charge for ten
minutes work?” asked the mana
ger. “I'm only charging one dol
lar for the work” said the machin
ist. “But l charge twenty dollars
for knowing how.” There is al
ways a demand and good pay for
men who knowhow. Mere an
imated machines are abundant ev
erywhere, but as knowledge is re
quired to profitably operate such
machines, and as knowledge is al
ways expensive, economy must!
get in its work on the men who
have muscular, instead of mental
nblity. The same rule operates
the same way in farming. A young
man, who knows how, and why
and when and wherefore, does not
have to content himself with a
farm laborer’s wages. Such men
are in demand for higher positions,
as teachers in agricultural schools,
as farm managers, as experiment
station workers,as breeders of live
stock, as ranch manage rs, as or

Cost of Living is Higher.
Wonderful institutions are these
expensive Government bureaus.
The Bureau of Labor has discov
ered and made public that the cost
of living is more than 16 per cent
higher than in 1866. But it has
not found any branch of labor in
which wages are 16 percent high

Think Salaries Too Small.
Washington, Nov. 29.—There is
a general feeling among represen
tatives that their salaries are not
sufficient to maintain the position
of congressman according to the
needs of the present day.
Representative Rail of Texas re
signed his seat a few doys ago, giv
ing as his reason that he could not
afford to stay in congress. John
R. Thayer of Massachusetts ex
pects to resign for the same reason.
There have been efforts from
time to time to increase the sala
ries of representatives. The lead
ers of the movement maintain that
low salaries keep the offices in the
hands of the wealthy; that a high
salary opens the doors of congress
to “brains,” and a low salary opens
them to “wealth.”
The last attempt to increase con
gressional salaries occurred in
187.‘5, when the President’s salary]
was raised from $‘25,0>0 to $50,000
and that of senators and represen
tatives from $5,000 to $7,000. But
the representatives’ increase was
undone at the next congress, be
cause, it was stated, it had been
made to apply to the congressmen
who had passed the bill.
Most of the members say they '
would like to vote for a change of
salary, but, the country members
are fearful. The suggestion is
made that the matter lie taken up!
in a non partisan way, the leaders
of both sides agreeing to it.

DON'T WANT CUBA
Senators Lodge, Hale and Platt
Opposed to Inviting Cuba
Into the Union.
Washington, Dee. 1. Senator
Newlands’ resolution inviting Cu
ba to enter the American Union
as a state and annexing Porto Rico
to her as a county, called forth an
interesting debate in the Senate,
in which the republican Senators,
Lodge, Hale and Platt of Connec
ticut, opposed the measure, claim
ing that it would expose the coun
try to the charge of breaking faith
with Cuba because an invitation to
her would be looked upon as a
command.
The resolution caused a good
deal of comment in Cuba and Po
to Rico, and it appears that most
of the Cubans, except the Spanish
residents and large business inter
ests of the island, were not in fav
or of it. President Palma said that
the island was getting on very well
as it was and did not desire annex
ation. The people of Porto Rico
also were opposed to the. plan of
a union with Cuba. No doubt they
aspire to statehood and feel that
their chances would not be increas
ed by thus becoming a county of
the State of Cuba. Senator New
lands argued the immense benefit
Cuba would receive from free trade
with the United Stab's and the
stability which her finances would
accjinro us a state of the Lmon.
In speaking against the resolution
Senator Platt, who is the author
of the Platt amendmant, which was
incorporated in the constitution of
Cuba, said, “I think that our re
lations with Cuba have been mis
understood. I do not think that wo
are exercising and protectorate ov
er Cuba. I do not think that we
have even constituted ourselves
the guardian of Cuba or made Cu
ba our war 1.” Senator Lodge con
tradicts this statement by saying,
“We have all the control in a mil
itary point of view and a political
