Thr New ^f.ntinki, FYbi.ikhIn'o Co. . * Standards of .Living.... — r There ha$ come.' a remarkable growth of sentiment thatjevery man must work, whether he rs al>le tf) loaf or not. There is no <#•* place in the world today for an idler. Too much is required ’i>T ps to allow any mouths to he fed or backs tQv.be clothed who will not do their part toward helping the rest of the world. Some of our colpred friends hid fair to he in the pathway, of this spirit of universal service: The new - provisions of govern ment to provide support foi tin* dependents ofsol liers lias given to many colored peujde more ready money than ever jhey had lie foie. From every side comes the complaint that 'too/ many former hands are sitting around doing nothing, ijphile work of every kind is Clamoring for labor. Some of those colored people, in bliss fill ignorance of the real conditions with which the country is faced are using the ArmV allotments to live in absolute idleness. Their stand aid of living requires a smaller amount of money than is~ need cd for their white neighbors. The question is mot whether any class of people have sufficient money to live; in idleness, but there are too many mouths in the worldYo be fed to allow,any hands to be idle. The question has received marked concern elsewhere than oi^* sotTtliern farm communities. The laws against Vagrancy on the books arc seen to be defec- —i It has not beem so many years ago since wages were consider, ablj low’s r than they are today. In fact in tiie years just after the civil war it was nothing micom- mon for a healthy, boy to receive as a year’s wages, his hoard and clothes, and perhaps the addi tion of a paltry sum of fifty dol lars. Now a section hand on the railroad will receive more than, tlie'skilh'd mechanic of a few years ago. Many a negro laboror is seriously asking him self the question, “VVliat can.a man do with $15 a week?’’ His father who worked longer hours felt himself fortunate to receive far less than this. We have raised our standard of wealth for the individual, but have we raised other standards proportionately? Do we live longer and have less, illness in our families than our fathers did? Their simple outdoor lives gave them a. physical vigor that we "have Lever known. We have probably lowered the standard of health they enjoyed. We live more in a week than they lived in a year. They neverdreamed of the luxuries and conveniences we enjoy. But. they were just as happy as we are and proba bly more so. They enjoyed what' addition of requirements some what on the lines of passes in siavehpldihg days. Then any negro caught away from home without written permission of his owner was persumed to be away on unlawful purposes and watf arrested at once. Under the new vagrancy laws as enac ted in some states every persou over fifteen years is given a card to he filled out by his em ployer. This euijd must show for bach week the time worked, the name of the employer, and the rate of wages received. Any per- sort without a eaVd, ,or without proper entries on the card is presumed to be violating the law and is forthwith arrested. The measure of punishment for the first offence is either a fine or hnpr sonlnent. In the succeed ing convictions there is no alter native of a fine, but simply tlu* chain gang. - *V * W „ ~ 4 • ■*- 11.flfc n FARM HELP SPECIALISTS MEET. tTve: “Th'OsT* ATFirditetFra-byTtie—Capt.
