The recent heroic work done by the
members OF the fire department will no
doubt be an impetus in securing liberal
subscriptions from the citizens to the
proposed fair OF the Junior Hose Com

zens of Roanoke, whose property they
have been protecting at the peril OF
their lives for the past decade, will be
no moro than common justice.
The Bridgewater Fl re forcibly demon

of this city has inadequate equipments,
and in these times of financial de.

the Juniors to hold fair to obtain

''In the enfranchisemento OF women we

Close of tho BIcycle Tournamant

SPRINGFIELD, Mass, Sept. 13.-The
closing day Of the Springfield bicycle
tournament was exceptionally brilliant
and was remarkable for its many sur.
prises. Perhaps the best OF these was

upon by many as almost a sure winner
OF the great event Of the tournament,
the one mile international race, class b.
He was easily beaten by e. G. Bald, who
rode with wonderful skill and tact,
following the pacing tandem closely and
getting round the mile with remarkable
ease and speed, so that. although Sanger
spurted near the finish and was in the
lead for moment. Bald overhauled him
easily and won the race.

The movement inaugurated in Balti-
more last Wednesday to raise funds for
the erection of a monument over the
grave of Francis Scott Key is commend
able, and will, no doubt, succeed. It
looks like criminal negligence that no
shaft has been placed over the last
resting place of the poet who wrote our
national anthem, although he needed
none to keep his memory green
in the hearts of the people.
The hymn that came in his heart as he
watched through the dreadful night OF
the 18th of September, 1914, and saw
next day by the dawn's early light the
flag of his country still flying, has made
him immortal. Yet the monument will
teach lesson OF patriotism to all WIN
visit Baltimore, and will be seen by
millions of the citizens of this country
every year.

NEW YORK. Jan. 5.-The Northern
Pacific Railroad Conn ny are paying the
interest due on its first mortgage bonds.
Railroad magnates and Wall-street men
generally are discussing the manner i'm
which the threatened strike on the North
ern Pacific was handled. 1t was some
thing never before adopted In the his
tory of rairoadirg. When the receivers
first heard Of the threatened strike, they
issued a schedule Of prices. but the men
and the labor unions refused positively
10 accede 10 the terms.
The receivers secured the names and
addresses Of every employe Of conse-
quence and applied 20 the court for an in
junction restraining these men from in
juring the cOmpany's property, or I'm any
way interfering with it's business or in
fuencing any cmpoye 10 neglect his work
They had a. copy OF this order served
ON the above employees. and leaders Of
the labor unions ten days or more before
the day set for the strike.
Then the receivers secured conferences
with the leaders Of the men. advised
them to secure counsel and lay their ease
and grievances before the court, and set
tie the case in that manner. This the
men decided 20 DO. The strike did not
occur. and the men have laid their COM
plant before the very court that issued
the Injunction against them. The re-
ceivers say that they will be glad TO com
ply with any changes in their schedule
which the court may recommend, after
hearing the mems side OF the case.
Financial men here consider 1t a great
and important change in the methods
Of settling disputes between railroad en-
nlONes and cOmpanles.
