FOREIGN RAIL ROADS,.

zone Of my socialist friends claims
that where a government owns the
railroads, transportation and freight
rates are cheaper than where they are
owned by individuals or corporations.
How Is this?'-A. H. c.. Richill, Mo.
Ask your socialist friend to give you
proof Of his assertion. That will set
tie him, for he can no. do 1t. The
railroad service of the United States Is
the best and most prompt in the world.
Passenger rates here are much cheaper
than In Europe and freight rates aver
age lower. We have not at hand the
statistics of government-owned roads
in Europe, but will endeavor to obtain
them.-Toledo Blade.
The Blade, being owned and pub
lished by those whose interest is to
deceive tho masses so they will con-
tinue to vote the same old tickets and
perpetuate the same old conditions
that have enabled the few to amass
the millions produced by the many,
nothing but Misrepresentation con-
corning this and other subjects is to be
expected from 1t. The Blade knows
that government ownership, even in
monarchies, is better than private
ownership. 1t knows that rates are
higher here than where governments
own railroads, but as 1t gets passes
and favors on the side, 1t can afford to
lie. for no other word fits the condl-
ton.

Unionism Amply Justified.

The continued concentration of cap
ital has amply justified unionlsm'
Unionism is not an aggressive force
it is protective in its nature, says the
Midland Mechanic 1t seeks to
stay the hand that fllches the toiler's
sweat. 1t is an organized, but peace
full protest against the encroachments
of organized capital upon the rights
Of labor 1t is not seeking to destroy
fortunes, but to build them, and II
only asks in return a fair equivalent
for the wasted Drawn. Capital should
recognize the rights Of labor. The
rich man should no longer shake his
table cloth in the face OF Lazarus
Lazarus has grown tired Of the leav-
ings. There should be touching OF
palms. Labor is concilatory; why
should capital be arrogant? Labor Is
sacrificial; should capital be lusty
exacting, avaricious? Capital should
not have the power to fix the price oil
labor without paying decent respect
to the wishes of the man who Tolls
Capital should not have the power to
fix the price of commodities without
paying decent respect to the wishes
of the producer, at one end of the line,
and the consumer at the other. With
this power it is possible for capital to
make labor cheap and living high. 1t
is possible for capital to force the scale
of wages to the minimum. This is
labors curse today, and let us with
draw from the awfulness Of the pros
pect. We should scourge the money
changers from the capital lest the owl
chant requiem from liberty's tower.
Shylock may have his ducats, accord
ing to the stipulation, but with picks,
and hods and masons' trowels we will
fight him to the ditch for the flesh. 1t
is labor's cause. and labors cause is
humanity's and Gods. 1t is ques-
ton which addresses itself to the viz
tuous inherency of mankind and the
toilers protest, whatever it may be,
against the tyrannies Of aggregated
wealth will find holy sanction in the
love of the Infinite Father.

General Passenger Agent G. s.
Crane of the Wabash has addressed
circulars to employees in all depart
ments, including shopmen, which read
as follows: Having in mind the fact
that 1t is to the interest Of all en-
ployed by this company to do what
they can to increase Its revenue, ]
would respectfully request employees
in every department to promptly ad-
wise me OF all whom they learn are
contemplating journey TO any point,
and, If convenient, to notify the near
est and most available passenger rep
resentative of this company. Infor-
nation of this character will be very
thankfully received and prompt atten-
ton will be given to all such advices."

HOW WE DO 1T.

Prof. Geo. D. Heron: The present
situation may be compared to that of
man who has fallen under heavy
laden dray with merchandise. You
can call the dray civilization" and
the bales of merchandise commercial
ISM" Soon there comes along a set
of men who see that there is man
under the dray, who, If he be not dead,
probably wants to get out. They
gather around and talk about the man
and about how to get him out and

letter, dated May s. from which
take this bearing on the question in
point:
81 have been spending several weeks
in Switzerland. Though the most ex-
pensive railroads in the world to build,
the rates are very low. the roads be-
ing owned and operated by the gov
eminent. A ticket that entities me to
ride on almost any railroad and steam
teen days. cost Sc. The only roads not
included in this ticket were over GER
tain mountain passes and up certain
high mountains.
II Travelled back and forth. often
going many times over the same road,
and, in fact, went all over Switzerland,
the only limit being time, for I had
full liberty to travel twenty-four hours
every one of the fifteen days If had SO
wished"
That same condition can be had in
the United States. and would be at
tanned in few months after public
ownership was established, for Swift
ferland only recently bought her roads
and paid higher price than any roads
in this country are capitalized at.
In other European countries the
rates are lower than here; both pas
senger and freight, and the profit goes
into the public treasury, and that in
effect is the same as If they were lower
still. Switzerland Is the size Of Ohio.
What would you think II you could
ride over all the roads in Ohio for If
teen days for Sc?
The facts are, that 1t pays to own the
railroads-pays the people just as well
as it does the plutocrats. Public own
ership is the remedy for the corrupt
Influence of the roads in politics. The
postoffice lobby never brides for bad
laws. The railroad lobby does.

Arrangements have been perfected
by which Russian oil will be distrib-
uted in Germany. In the last few
years American petroleum has prac-
tically monopolized the German mar
ket. The German government has now
offered facilities to Russian producers
in the way of reduction of railway
rates, so that it is expected in the near
future the Russian oil trade will make
considerable progress in Germany.

The friends Of the plan to convert
Indian lands in Northern Minnesota
into a national park are much encour-
aged by the reception 1t has received
at the hands Of representatives. A IA
vorable report by the house commit
tee on Indian affairs, which says In
part: The headwaters Of the Missis-
sippi are now protected by national
forests, and this protection is threat-
ened by lumbermen, who wish to re-
move the pine. In France vast sums
Of money are now being expended In
reforesting the mountains which have
been denuded and where the gravelly
soil has begun to wash down into and
destroy the valleys below. Enormous
sums are expended to restore these
mountains to their natural conditions
as nearly as may be. In Northern New
York the state has acquired a large
area OF the Adirondacks In order to
preserve the waters Of the Hudson,
and has expended nearly $4,000,000 for
that purpose. II the timber around
the headwaters of the Mississippi is
entirely removed the government will.
no doubt hereafter be called upon to
restore 1t as nearly as possible to the
original state and to expend much
larger sum than is now necessary tc
preserve it in that condition. Large
amounts have already been laid out
for the creation Of reserves in that To-
cality to prevent great floods in the
spring and to preserve. a supply OF
water for midsummer and fall. We
cannot afford to have the lands around
the headwaters Of our great rivers de-
forested and made barren.

An apparatus that has at least the
merit of novelty is on exhibition ir
London. 1t is designed as checking
clock to record the hour of the arrival
of employees at their places of work.
The novelty consists in a sensitized
Photographic ribbon attached to clock
work. Each employee, as he or she ar
rives, presses the button of the ma
chine and Immediately his or her pho
tograph, together with a photograph
of the clock showing the moment oil
arrival, is impressed on the movable
ribbon. 1t is said that the photographs
can be made at the rate Of 40 a minute

Getting Ready to Move.

Getting Re0uy 10 move.
Taking up the carpets,
Nearly breaking backs
In the lengthy struggle
With the stubborn tacks.
Now and then a knuckle
In the mouth is dipped,
Shorts Of anger telling
That the litter slipped.
Taking down the curtains
From the window top,
While the ladder wabbles.
Threatening to drop,
Getting more impatient,
Making movement rash,
Sudden loss of balance.
Then a fearful crash.
Packing up the dishes
Not at meals required,
Placing them with caution
In the place desired.
Tripping DER obstruction
Not observed before
Finest piece of china
Shattered on the floor.
Clearing out the places
Where the clothes are stored,
Every shelf and recess
Carefully explored.
Finding many garments
Faded, frayed and torn,
Others of the fashions
That no more are worn.
Clearing up the attic
With the greatest care,
Thoroughly astonished
At the rubbish there.
Overhauling cellar,
Where more stuff is slowed
Boxes, crates and barrels
By the wagon load.
Many backs are aching,
Many fingers sore,
Every room is cherries,
Bare is every floor,
Weary are the women,
Angry are the men,
Some declare they'll never,
Never move again.

A Russian inventor, X. Danilewsky
has recently experimental, under gov
eminent auspices, with flying ma
chine which combines the lifting pow
err Of a balloon with something resem-
bling wing action. The balloon is
shaped like a projectile, and is small
being filled with pure hydrogen. Its
ascensional force is sufficient to neu-
tralize the weight Of the aeronaut and
the apparatus. The latter consists OF
a system of movable aeroplanes and a
steering tackle, by means Of which the
aeronaut guides the course of the bal
loon. In descending, the latter as
sumes an upright position. The i'm
mediate object of the experiments is
to provide a dirigible balloon for the
signal corps Of the Russian army.

AustrIa,s Great Strike.

Austria, perhaps, has never Witness
ed more determined contest between
capital and labor than that which is
now going on where from 10000 to TO-
900 mine operatives in the coal dis
tricts of her three northern provinces
Bohemia, Moravia and Silesia-have
for the past six weeks been on strike
for a reduction of hours and an adj
vance of wages, as well as for redress
of various minor grievances. The
strikers could not have selected a more
opportune time for turning their COM
plants into demands than the present.
Men are born equal, but some girl
hahies have more hair on than others.

The Indian name Sioux, as 1t appears
in such town names as Sioux Falls,
Sioux City and Sioux Rapids, is usual
ly pronounced $780," but sometimes,
in the East chiefly, that simple pro-
nunclation is not known. A commit
teeman not long ago visited school in
New England, where he heard the
pupils say "Si-ox," with complete as
surance. At a favorable opportunity
he quietly spoke to the teacher OF the
error, saying; " You know it is Soo,' "
whereupon she asked the attention OF
the school, and solemnly announced:
"You have all been pronouncing this
word wrong. 1t is not Siox, but Soo-
OK" The committeeman lacked the
courage to pursue the subject farther.
