Possibly something of an ameliorating

the fact that the moment anything is
suggested in the line of the improve
ment of conditions, the man who sug-
gests any plan of betterment is assailed
with foul epithets, often worse than de

a dreamer, an enthusiast, a lunatic, a
labor agitator, an enemy of order and
the foe of capital, and remedies are
kicked aside as chimerical and unworthy

The Detroit News reports an interview
with a prominent member of the Broth
erhood of Locomotive Engineers which
suggests a paradoxical situation. 1t has
come to be a recognized rule in industry
generally that the softer the snap, the
lighter the work, the higher the pay and
the more aristocratic the employe. Now,
it is well known that the chief of the b,
of L. E., supported by n majority of his
organization, has declared that the en-
gineer is superior to and above all other
wageworkers. Why, Mr.. Arthur repu-
dates 'the thought that there can be
ANYTHING in common between us and the
one dollar a day man" According to
the rule above referred to, if the en-
gineer interviewed by The News speaks
the truth, the switchmen and brake
men, and not the engineers, should be
the aristocrats of ~railroading. Read what
the gentleman says:
1t Is an undeniable fact that the engineers
cares and responsibilities have been constantly
added to, and those Of the trainmen diminished
by reason of block signals and air brakes, un-
til now he bears the burden nearly alone, and
It is not to be wondered at that he respects the
position and endeavors TO maintain its dignity,
and is not willing to place himself upon an
equality with the switchmano or brakeman who
has no part Of it to bear

LEADER PREMIUMS.
A Variety of Handsome Presents TO
be Given to Subscribers This
Month.
Read the List Over Carefully and
Make Your Choice Before it
is Too Late.

We desire to close out all OF our pre-
miums this month, and in order to do so
offer them as per terms given below.
There are nearly 400 premiums, repre-
scnung a cash value of about $500. All
Of these premiums are to be given to
subscribers absolutely free. No sub
scriber, however, will be entitled to a
premium except by paying his or her sub
sctiption in advance the length of time
specified IN the table below. The only
exception to this rule is where subscribers
have taken the trouble to save the pre-
MUM coupons" We make the exception
only because we advertised to give some
OF the premiums for coupons, aud We do
as we agree. Twenty-Five coupons from
THE DAILY LEADER or ten from the
WEEKLY will secure anv premium that
Iayiug one dollar in advance will secure.
If you have no coupons then you must
pay the specified time in advance. These
are our terms and it will be useless to ask
for any others.
As the number of premiums is a little
less than 400 and the circulation OF The
DAILY and WEEKLY LEADER combined
amounts to over | 400 it will be seen that
there are not enough premiums for all
subscribers. IN giving them out we shall
follow the rule of first come first served.
New subscribers as well as old may take
advantage ofthe opportunity to secure a
handsome book or picture free. Club
raisers who are working tor the prizes to
be awarded Aug. should remember this
and when sending orders state which one
of the premiums is wanted by the sub
All of these premiums have
been described in previous issues of The
LEADER and although a page could be
filled with descriptions and testimonials, it
will only be stated that the cash value OF
each is as shown in the table. Anyone
desiring the novels may choose any TWEEN
from a list OF $50 which will be fur
on application. Samples of all the
Lremiums may be seen at this office. Sub
who rave had one or more of the
premiums will not be entitled to the same
premium again, but are entitled to any or
all the other premiums by paying the
proper amount. Following is the list with

Tho theatrical season Just passed has
been the worst on record, and there Ia lit
tie prospect that next season will be any
better. The chief characteristic Of next
season will be the great number Of con
panies which will play farce comedies. In
fact, there seems to be some probability
that farce comedy will be largely ovGrlOne
and that many OF the lbs companies going
on the road will lose money. Another
feature Of the season will be the large mum
Der OF plays by American authors which
will he produced. The era OF worship for
things foreign which has prevailed for
some years has ended, and the Yankee
playwright will ave things all his own
way for "a while now ut any rate.
