As a Nation, there is not among as o GUS
tom more lxed and distinctive than the AL
most universal regard for the Christian
Sabbath. It has been so from the settle
mont OF the country. One Of the principal
reasons assigned by John Robinson. the
dock resolving to quit Holland, their adopt
ed country--whither they had fed ten
years before from England---for America,
was, that they could not bring the Dutch
to observe tho Lords day as a Sabbath"
One Of the chief cares OF these Pilgrim
Fathers on their arrival here was the OBJ
seryance Of the sacred rest. In the earliest
records of the Dutch ~colonists in New York
there are DEGREES Of the most stringent
character, intended to guard the infant
community against the dem0ralizing ten
denotes OF Sabbath profanations, and even
to-day, SO far as the Sunday laws require
the suspension Of business, most Of the peo-
pie very cheerfully obey.
Our mechanics rest from their labors on
that day, vast manufacturing establish

But there IL a class Of mon who demand
that these laws, so far as respects them,

RAILROAD AFFAIRS.
Retiring Worthless Equipment on the
Haltimnle and Ohm.

~. PR O@ct
The recent purchase Of equipment by the
Baltimore and Ohio Ae greatly increased
the percentage Of cars and locomotives
equipped with air brakes and automatic
conplers. The total number OF engines
having car-driyer brakes is seventy per
cent. in excess OF those so equipped In the
previous use. The greatest increase, how.
ever, was made on freight cars, there being
seven times as many In service now with
air brakes as there were fifteen months
ago. The use of the automatic coupler
has been trebled, there being a little over
three times as many cars with this safety
device as were used in 1896. The receivers
have placed out Of service nearly all Of the
old iron hopper cars, which have been
used on the Baltimore and Ohio for many
years. These cars are very weakly con-
structed, and If put in a train between the

His Early Life and Service on the Bench
MANY Dramatic Incidents.
Justice Field, ono Of the most notable
men who have sat on the Supreme Bench OF
the United States, comes Of o distinguished
family. As T. well known, he is q brother
OF Cyrus w. Field, David Dudley Field and
the Rev. Henry N, Field. He Is the sixth
son OF Rev. David D, Field,

dam, Conn.,, on November 4, 1918. He was
graduated ut Williams College in 1887, and
went to New York and studied law In tho
otice Of bis brother, David Dudley Field,
with wnom he subsequently practised. He
removed to San Francisco In 1910. and was
elected q Justice Of the Supreme Court Of
California In 1853.
When, in 1863. a tenth Judge was to be
appointed to the United States Supreme
Bench from the Pacific Coast, the whole
congressional delegation from the Pacific
Coast, without regard to party, went to

Commission. who refused to go behind the
certificates forwarded from the different
States. His position here, together with
his previous opposition to the reconstruct
ton acts, gave him prominence in tho
Democratic party, so that In the Cincinnati
Convention OF 1880 no was among the
Presidential candidates.
One OF the most striking episodes In
Justice Fields life was the attack on him
by Judge Terry, which resulted In the lat.

The first two years of the commu-
nity's existence were all struggle and
suffering and Encouragement, and 1t
needed the courage and heroism Of the
Pilgrim Fathers to keep the little band
together. Socialism lived In a Tennes-
see wilderness Is a very different thing
from a platform, and many a time the
members would have gladly gone back
to theory and left the practice alone.
Some dropped out, disheartened, but Of
the thirty-five original members twenty
still remain. The community can now
show seventy-four heads Of families,
and numbers PA members In all. Mu-
sic receives as much attention as art
and arithmetic and scroll-sawing In the
schools, and the department earns its
principals labor checks for eighty
hours week. 1t already possesses five
pianos, seven organs, nine violins, five
guitars, one bass viol, che banjo, three
comets, two flutes, one fife, one pic.
colo and one tuba.
The people of Ruskin are all from the
laboring classes and many Of them have
little education, but the greatest inter-
est Is taken In that Of the children. For
the smaller ones there is a kindergarten
held out Of doors in n beautiful grove
Of beech trees. In addition to the reg
ular school there is class In fine arts,
where drawing, painting, sculpture and
pOtterymaking are studied under Pro-
lessor Isaac BroOme, well-known
sculptor, who was one of New York s
commissioners to the Paris Exposition.
Professor Broome has long been the
oretical socialist, and has played a
prominent part in the community,
though he comes from a much higher
walk Of life than most of the members.
He takes leading part in the sympo-
Sums, as the weekly meetings for So
cialistic discussion are called.
The chief claim of the Ruskinites Is
that as common people they have skill
fully managed great social and bust
ness undertaking, and SO far have
made no serious mistakes. In one year
they have increased the value Of their
holding by So, loss, and contentment
and harmony pervade all they do. If
they could accomplish so much surely
able, trained organizers could do much
more, and from that they argue that in
time the State, the country, the whole
world would be run on communistic
basis. No personal capital, labor the
standard OF value; from these they de-
duce n world without covetousness,
which Is almost world without sin.

general good. since their object was
not personal wealth. When any. one
wants to join the Ruskin community
he must pass written examination on
his principles. He must be able to do
any useful labor assigned to him, he
must believe In uniform compensation,
he must be able to coherently define So
cialism, communism aud competition.
A ballot Is taken ON his answers. Ii In
his favor he pays down $500 and takes
possession of his cottage as a regular
member of the colony. He is guaran-
teed work for every well day and pay
for every sick one. He has neither
taxes nor rent to pay, nor doctors bills,
nor school hills. nor washing. His chill
dren are given schooling, music, Ian
guages and Industrial training for
nothing. He is entitled to draw checks
for fifty hours work each week. If he
does more II is not paid for, and so is a
gratuitOus present to the community.
There Is no taskmaster to watch him,
but he Is not expected to shirk. Three
who attempted 1t were promptly sus-
pended from the community.
If he has wife. she is also entitled
to earn fifty hour-checks week, for
she Is paid for working in her home.
