Complicated Ilrlatlnnnlilpn.
"It's astonishing when you come to
think of it how the simplest appearing
marriages may have complicated re
sults," said a philosopher the other day.
"Of course when a man marries a
young girl and his son marries the
girl's mother the possible offspring havt
all sorts of relationships with theii
parents. But take a simpler case. A
chap I know married his first cousin's
daughter some years ago and has twe
children. Those olive brnnehes are
first cousins once removed to theii
grandfather and second cousins to theii
mother on the father's side and first
cousins twice removed to their fathei
on their mother's side. Then each is
second cousin once removed to himself.
A similar state of affairs occurs of
course in the case of children of mar
ried first cousins.
"I think I've proved my theorem,
haven't I, that complicated results of
ten follow simple enough causes?"

CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 17, 1903-
WAGE SYSTEM
READJUSTMENT
IS PREDICTED.
The Employer Must Consider the
Employe.
Philadelphia, Dec. 13.—"The wage*
system will pass away. In its stead, 1
believe, there will come a system which
will be composed of the profit sharing
and the co-operation ideas. The great
labor question means the struggle of
humanity for a higher standard of life.
The employer must consider the em
ploye, as well as the stockholder, as an
investor."
These words were contained in an
address upon "The Wage Question,"
made today by Carroll D. Wrigb'. U.
S. Commissianer of Labar, before he
Society of Ethical Culture, of this c v.
Of scarcely less interest than his p'e
diction of a new labor system was Col.
Wright's epprova! of a plan to insure
labor against incapacity resulting from
accident, illness or advancing age.
The German idea was quoted, under
which the employer pays one-fourth
the cost of a sick and death benefit pol
icy, the employe one-fourth and the
government one half. "England,"
said Col. Wright, "has taken up this
question, and we of the United States
are steadily approachiug it."
Continuing, Col. Wright said: "Cap
ital charges to the consumer the depre
ciation of property and machinery.
Why should not the depreciation of la
bor's machinery, its hands, its brains,
its body, be included in the final cost?
We see in every progressive community
that the demand of the working man
is no longer for a wage sufficient to en
able him to keep body and soul to
gether.
"Labor has been taught to feel that it
is a social as well as an economic power
in the community, and this educating
process has gone on until the demand
of labor is for a reasonable margin be
yond that fixed by the iron law of
wages.
"The wages system will pass away.
It has, as has been shown, unsatisfac
tory conditions in many of its applica
tions. It depends too largely for tts
equities upon the generosity and great
mindeduess of employers. That there
are many such who would scorn to in
fluence the votes or actions of their
employes and who would be incapable
of taking petty advantage of their
workmen is happily true. That there
are others that will make use of these
opportunities proves the weakness of
the system and argues for a greater
measure of independence for those who
labor.
"The system that will take the place
of that under which meri wages are
paid probably will be composed of the
profit-sharing and co-operation plans.
The work people will then acquire the
interest of investors, the more capable
will rise to their opportunities and the
less worthy will find their level."
An Obliging Act.
It is a common custom among peo
ple who openly attest their unbelief or
their non connection with any Chris
tian denomination, to point the finger
of scorn at the weakest and most un
fortunate Christian, or perhaps one
who, in the eyes of the public, may be
a hypocrite, and put him up as a living
example of Christian faith, declaring
such a one to be the standard, and con
deming the whole Church for the faults
of a few; but never think of comparing
the strongest and most conscientious
and dutiful Christian with the world;
for instance, one who will stop his team,
already loaded with cumbersome mer
chandise, and relieve a struggling boy
of a load which was much too heavy
for him, an act which our friend Wm.
Hughes did last week, taking the boy,
wheelbarrow and his load some three
miles out of his way to the boy's home.
The world passed him with several
unloaded teams, allowing him to trudge
along as best he could and suffer from
a piercing cold wind, unmindful of the
fact that they were once boys or that
their own loved ones may sometime be
caught in the same plight Mr. Hughes
is a Christian gentleman who proves to
the world before what sbrine he bows
by the acts of his daily life, and only a
robber of virtue could have the au
dacity to attempt to decry his good
name. The finger of scorn dare not
point at such men.
The difference between a widow and
a grass widow is that a widow is a wo
man who has buried her husband. A
grass widow is one who has simply
mislaid hers.—Ex. We were always
under the impression that the former
was the relict to one who had gone to
Heaven, and the latter of one who has
gone to "grass."
A western teacher, instructing a class
in composition, said: "Do not attempt
any flights of fancy; be yourselves and
write what is in you." The following
day a bright pnpii handed in the fol
lowing: "We should not attempt any
flites of fancy, right what is in us. In
me there is my stomach, lungs, heart,
liver, two apples, one piece of mince
pie, three sticks of candy, a hull lot of
peanuts and my dinner."

The third month's record is thus shown to be

record-breaker. Compared with the third month
of last year a substantial advance is noted, the
percentage being 3 points higher. Illness was
the principal cause which lessened the attend
ance. The best records in attendance were made
by the High School 98, Miss Metzger'a and Miss
Ludlam'jt 96, Miss Cummtngs' 96%, and Miss

enviable distinction of being the only school
none of whose members were tardy daring the
