Schools of instruction have been
inaugurated by many of the leading
railroads for the purpose of securing a
larger degree of safety to passengers
and for improving the general service.
In these days of constantly increasing
rapid transit and of proportionately
complicated equipment too many pre-
cautions cannot be had in the 1i-
rectiOn of safety. These schools have
been in operation on some of the
western roads for several years and
have proved of SO much practical
value that the idea is now being taken

The measurement of mother earth's

feat of engineering just completed
by Uncle Sam. 1t has cost him nearly
30 years of constant effort and fully

piers of the world will agree that
the enterprise is well worth this time
and expense. Mother eartt's diameter

The amalgamated steel and wire
company-the steel trust-has finally
come to terms with it's employees and
signed the scale with the men-not
what the men asked, but much less.
Capitalistic newspapers publish this
and state in big head lines that this
sets at work 60, 600 men who have been
idle since June. 1t is the first init
nation that the readers of these jour
nails have had that any such number
of men in one industry have been idle
all summer. Probably the men were
so flush after three years of McKin-
ley prosperity that they were merely
taking summer vacation.-Dakota

Public Ownership.

Miners are idle and starving in
Pennsylvania and the people of the
west are being robbed by the mine
owners, who charge them exhorbitant
prices for coal. Everybody is hurt ex-
cept a few monopolists, and they are
fattening off of calamity.
Is it not fully time that we stop
robbery and murder in the name of
law? What is the remedy? There is
only one, and that is simple. The peo-
pie must own the mines and also the
railroads. Public ownership will cure
the evil. If the government owned the
mines and the means of transportation
the laborers would have steady work
and living wages-the railroad men
would have shorter hours and better
pay--there would be no strikes-there
would be no mourning mothers, no
hungry children-the little boys would
be in school instead of the mines
the state of Pennsylvania could dis
band her militia and her deputy sher-
ifs would no longer be candidates for
hell. 1t is cheaper in the long run to
do justice than it is to commit muir
der.
When the times comes-and it is
coming-coal will sell at 81 in Omaha
instead of $40. and we will feed the
miners at half the cost they are pay
ing now.
God grant that the good time may
come and come quickly:-Noncon-
