GENERAL MANAGER OF THE
ROCK ISLAND TESTIFIEs.
CONTRACT WITH PULLMAN AIRED.
Tho Railroad Companies Were Not Com
PEELED to Haul His Sleeping Cars Dur
ing the strike or at Any other
Time Very Few Actual
strikers Taken Back by
the Rock Island Road

CmCAGo, Aug. 24.-General Man
ager ST. John of the Rock Island rail
road appeared before the strike in
vestigating commission to-day with a
history of the strike as it affected his
road. When he had finished he was
asked If his company blacklisted men,
and replied: "Not i'm the sense that
word is generally understood. When
"a man is discharged from one of our
divisions we send statement to our
other divisions that he may not be re-
employed. but no such statement is
sent to other roads unless it is re-
quested."
Asked to show copy of the con-
tract with the Pullman company, Mr.
St John said; II can show you the
contract if you will regard it as a pri-
vate matter. | do not wantit printed
in the press"
This proposition was refused and
Mr.. St John was asked if the contract
compelled his company to haul Pull
mans on all passenger trains. No"
was the answer 1--WE can haul Pull
mans on any trains we choose and
need not haul them unless we wish. -
Then you were not compelled to
haul Pullmans during the strike?"
mo, we were not"
Asked as TO the number of strikers
who had been taken back by the
company, Mr. st. John answered:
"Most of our men quit work through
fear, but of 522 actual strikers only
seventy-four have been taken back. "
The roads relations to labor unions,
Mr.. st. John went on. were regulated
by the number of men on their lines
belonging TO the unions "When a
union has ffty per cent or more of
our men," he said, 1--WE as "A general
thing treat with its epre Sc natives.
We have no dealings with the Ameri-
can Railway union, as it has less than
500 Of our employees
Mr.. St John declared that last
snrifg and this summer the road cut
its force but not wages. The road
has frequently advanced individual
wages within the last ten years but
had made no general advance. lle
thought that the strike had cost the
road between $500, 900 and 81, 900, 600.
Mr.. st. John emphatically denied
the statement that United States
marshals used during the riots were
controlled by the railroads. I'VE
asked for protection. he said, "and
furnished many of our employees who
were sworn in as deputy marshals,
But after being sworn in we had
nothing more to do with them. They
were commanded and controlled,
suppose, by the United States mar
shals."

Irrigating Plants in the West.

Very few people realize what vast
engineering and construction problems
are being solved out west in what a few
years ago was termed the Great Amer
ican Desert region. That same desert
region is of remarkable fertility when
water is supplied by irrigation plants.
The SWeetWater dam in southern Cali
fOrnia is the pride of its builders and
is worth many millions to the lands 1t
renders fertile. In Arizona an
immense canal is being built, which
will utilize part of the surplus water
of Colorado and irrigate 100000 acres
of land. In New Mexico, in Eddy
county, is the second largest irrigation
plant in the United States. To secure
an abundance of water at all times,
two immense reservoirs were cOnstruc-
ted, capable of storing 5000, ,00O, GOO
cubic feet of water.
Some idea of the size of these arti-
ticial lakes may be had when it IS men
toned that one of them is thirteen
miles long by four miles wide. The
water from these reservoirs Is con-
Quoted through some l 200 miles of
canals and bitches, and irrigates or
will irrigate 25O.O acres of land,
mostly fruit and garden land. Imag-
inc water works plant with a reser-
yoir 10000 feet square and having
200 miles of mains. 1t took three
years to build this plant. Yet others
as great or greater are projected, and
Will be constructed. The future effect
of all this vast labor and skill is not
easy to predict. In many places they
have surely made the-desert bloom and
turned poverty into wealth.-Land and

Kansas as the new leader Of the dem o.

displayed more envy than wit. There
was irony in his tongue, but malice IL

the leadership himself. he now, after
the fashion Of the fox in the fable,
assumes to belittle the station that he
couldn't attain. Senator Hill is cum
ming. but the people are far too inteIli-
gent to be deceived
Senator PETER IS not leader of dem
ocratic men or measures, and he does
not pretend to be. He is populist,
and faithful TO his party obligations
Senator Hill is not leader among dem
ocrats, though be would have given his
small soul TO have reached that station,
and he is not even honest with the

The Story of the Flag.

The American Congress resolved, on
Saturday, June Il. 17T7, that the fng
of the thirteen United States be the
thirteen stripes alternate red and
white; that the union be thirteen
stars, white in blue field, represent
ing a new constellation.
Owing to the long period that clap
sed before this action, of congress was
put into practical effect, there is no
authentic history of the origin of the
flag. Some theorists hold that the
stripes were borrowed from the Dutch,
others maintaining that they were sug-
gested by the arms of Washington.
which was oInated with both stars and
stripes. 1t IS quite probable that
Washington was instrumental in aid
ing the Congressional committee to
''design flag suitable for the nation. -
Mrs. Betsy Ross, who had an uphols-
terry shop in Philadelphia, was ask
ed by the communicated chief if she
could make flag in accordance with
the design suggested. She did so, and
made the star fve-pointed instead of
six, as was originally projected. In
consequence of her work she was Sc
lected as manufacturer of the govern
mental flags, and enjoyed the monopoly
for many years.
When congress selected the flag it
specified the proportions for army use
as follows: 1.-The entire length to be
6 feet 6 inches, and the width feet 4
inches. The upper seven of thirteen
stripes four red and three white, to
bind the square of the blue field en-
closing the stars; the stripes to extend
from the end of the field to the end of
the flag. The next or eighth stripe to
be of white extending partly at the
base of the field. The other five
stripes three red and two white, to run
the entire length of the flag" The
legislative enactment further provided
that: ION the admission of any new
state into the Union, one star to be
added TO the Union flag"

party that he aspired to lead. But he
shouldn't let disappointment betray
him into an exhibition of asininity, as
he seems to have done in this matter.
But if anybody should ask Senator
Hill in dead confidence, he is at liberty
to say that as between Senator PETER
and himself, the democratic people
prefer to honor Senator PETER. A man
may be pardoned for exhibiting bad
judgment, but there is no conformation
for bad morals. If Peffer had the
intelligence to understand conditions,
he would probably be democrat, and
III that event he would be a faithful
one. Hill seems to know enough, but
lacks integrity.-K. G. Times.

She Opposes Suffrage,

Mrs Minnie Wood Cooper, of the Ly-
ons Democrat, one of the best edited
and neatest weekly papers in Kansas,
takes occasion to deny the report of
busybOdies that she is IN favor of the
suffrage movement, in the following
editorial:
Several rumors have reached the
sanctum of the Democrat that it is be-
ing reported by certain members of the
Lyons Equal Suffrage Association that
the publisher of this paper is an advo.
cate of equal suffrage and is being sup
pressed by her partner, the editor. To
all such we wish to say that we have no
desire whatever to vote, and believe,
for many reasons, that the suffrage
amendment ought to be defeated this
fall. For one reason, because the ulti-
mate result would not be changed by
the increased vote. For another, that
woman has had opportunity to vote in
Kansas for several years, and that less
than twenty per cent of them taking
advantage of it, we can but conclude
that the majority of Kansas women do
not want suffrage. For still another
reason, a woman is generally supposed
to work for her husband s interests, and
vice versa, and to say that she wants
to vote is a virtual admission of the
husband weakness and that she can
not trust him. If a woman has lost
control over her husband to that exs
tent that she cannot influence his vote
without going to the polls with him, it
is an Indication there is something
radically wrong, which right to vote
would not correct. For these and
many other good reasons, I'VE" 1.-THE
