Mr.. Major, the famous cement man, of
New York, explains some very interesting
facts about Majors Cement.
The multitudes who use this standard arti-
Gle know that it is many hundred per cent
better than other cements for which similar
claims are made, but a great many don't
know why. The simple reason is that Mr..
Major uses the best materials ever diScov-
cred and other manufacturers do not use
them, because they are too expensive and
us that one of the elements of his cement
costs 1878 pound, and another costs $2.65 a
gallon, while large share of the So-called
cementS and liquid glue on the market are
nothing more than siXteen-cent glue dis
solved in water or citric acid, and, in some
cases, altered slightly in color and odor by
the addition OF cheap and useless materials.
Majors cement retails at fifteen cents and
twenty-five cents bottle, and when dealer
tries to sell a substitute you can depend
upon it that his only object is to make
larger profit.
The profit on Majors cement is as much as
any dealer ought to make on any cement.
And this is doubly true in view Of the fact
that each dealer gets his share of the benefit
of Mr.. Majors advertising, which now
amounts to over 5000 month, throughout
the country Established 1876.
Insist on having Majors. Don't accept
any off-hand advice from druggist.
If you are at all handy (and you will be
likely to find that you are good deal more
so than you imagine) you can repair your
rubber boots and family shoes, and any
other rubber and leather articles, with Ma
Jor's Rubber Cement and Majors Leather
Cement.
And you will be surprised at how many
dollars year you will thus save.
If your druggist can't supply you, it will be
forwarded by mall either kind. Free of

Editor The Herald:
l notice in a copy of the Herald
dated December 10 quite a lengthy
quotation from the Railway Review
offering a suggestion as to the strike
evil on railways. Some parts of this
article are exceptionally good. and as
the Herald says. deeply suggestive -
That d" railroad is a public insti-
tuition and 1.-The operation of railway
trains is no less public service than
the conduct of the postoffice," is a
generally accepted fact: but how the
Review could compare these two
public institutions" so closely and
fail to mention that while the post Of
flee is operated by the government for
the public benefit. the railroads are
run by private individuals for "per-
sonal profit" is another question.
All that part about railroad corpo-
rations or the managers usually an
preciating and endeavoring to fulfill
their obligations to the public" is
buncombe pure and simple. Mr. Van
derbilt (who is something of a rail-
road magnate) is quoted as saying.
"The public be damned" and it is a
well known fact that the only limit to
freight rates is "all the traffic will
bear"
The Review is certainly not simple
enough to imagine that railroad cor
pr rations or those managing them"
lose any sleep in the "endeavor to
fulfill their obligations to the public"
unless they can be fulfilled at a large
profit to the railroad.
To make a law preventing strikes is
to deprive the employees OF their only
weapon in a contest for an increase in
or reduction Of hours Of Ia
Dor, that the corporations will listen
to. and would probably require govern
ment troops to enforce it.
The question before the public is.
1t Is better to allow corpo-
rations to run their public institutions
FOR private profit, or take charge of
and run them for the benefit Of the
people. II. as it is claimed by Carroll
D. Wright. Qabor commissioner. the
railroads now charge the public 25
times as much for carrying a ton of
mail as they do private individuals
'or a ton of live hogs and the same dis
,ance: and they charge $500 for 100
niles transportation which costs them
In average of IA cents. it would seem
hat the obligations of the corporations
o the public are somthing enormous;
Ind tn at one reason the post Office |
loes not pay better is because of ex-
,rbitant rates charged by the corpora |
ions.
Government ownership of railways is /
is up to the public as to when they /

A few days ago the dispatches told
of the opening and closing of little
breach between the American COM
mander in China, the veteran gener-
al Chaffee, and Count Won Valdez
see. the commander of the allies. 1t
will be remembered that the Ameri-
can government chose to change the
character of it's force in China from
an active expeditionary force to a
mere legation guard. By this action
the force was taken out of the juris-
d:ction of the commander of the al
lies, and became a part of the Ameri-
can minister's official family. General
Chaffee seems to have been somewhat
out of order in writing as he did to
Waldersee, but the American people
are proud enough of his breach of ETH
quette. Chaffee got tired of the loot
ing that has been going On. under
the active protection and auspices of
the allied troops. He wrote letter
to Waldersee, in which ne made use
of some very pointed expressions, al
leging that the worst of the trouble
is to be ascribed not to the men who
fought their way to Pekin and bore
the brunt of the hard campaign, but
to the new corners who came in after
the hard work was over. AS Valdez
zee himself was one of these, the Ger
man commander took offense at Chat
fees words and returned his letter,
as a rebuff. Chaffee recognized the
fact that he had been guilty Of a |
breach Of courtesy, and promptly apol-
ogized, whereupon the count invited
him to breakfast and everything was
happy again. Washington oficials |
recognize that Chaffee had reason for |
his criticism, and that the grievance
was and is a real one, and yet they |
are glad Chaffee retreated from a po-
sition that might have caused some |

A respected citizen of a South Da-
kota town has been arrested for a
murder committed twenty-five years
ago. The man has changed his name
a number of times. and has taken sew
eral trips abroad, in the effort to elude
the officers. He has built up good
name and substantial business. and
had fancied himself secure until the
officers presented the warrant for his
arrest. The brother of the dead man
is pushing the case. and there are a
number of living witnesses to the
deed.
