Yard engine No. 70 of the Cotton
Belt equipment got itself off the
track this morning between the
Cotton Belt passenger depot and
the Cosmopolitan. 1t was caused
by split switch and railroad
frog. The tender went in on the
siding. The four small wheels at
head of engine kept the track in
tended, two driving wheels got on a
guard rall and two got on the
ground and if there was any more
they were just scattered around
any old where. A large crowd
gathered and each and every man
told master mechanic Galbraith
who was present, how to get it on.
The reporter even evolved a plan
as to procedure, but seeing the
master mechanic did not 60 about
the job as we had proposed, we left
before a trial was made. We know
however, that he got all the ad-
vice he needed and if anything a
little the raise, before he got the
refractory engine on the track.

OF the seventy-five million people
in the United States, more than
seventy millions are toilers, are
laborers, are woking people-that is
they work when they can secure
work. Then we are told that this

government of people, by the
people and for the people. Now
let us see if it is! OF the eighty
eight United States senators in
congress there is not a worEingman

and of the three-hundred and fifty
seven members of congress, only
two lone, lonesome members rep

them to vote to allow the st. Louis

consolidate their Tyler Southeast :
ern road and manage their property

their business to suit themselves
and their interest. We do not know
what the Cotton Belt expects to do
when it is consolidated, if such a

only know that the road should
manage its own AFFAIRS under such
