The decision Of the Texas railroad
commission, refusing the application
OF the railroad employees Of that state
for the adjustment OF double headers,
is OF particular interest to train and
engine employees OF the entire Santa
Fe system. Under MIR. Bars control
the Santa Fe has come TO be one of
the great double header" roads OF
the country. Had the Texas CON-
mission sustained the appeal OF the
employs and ordered the railroads to
cease running two engines to one
train 1t is quite likely that employees
Ot other states would have taken the
matter up in an attempt to secure a
similar boon. However, it is even
more likely that 10 such an event the
railroad companies would take the
matter into court and test the power
OF the commission in this particular.
The employees asked for the abolish
ment OF double headers" on the
ground that they increased the dan.
ger to human life. The railroad COM
psnieS, on the other hand, introduced
statistics and testimony to show that
double heading" did not Increase the
number Of accidents and declared
that the objection Of the employees
was due solely to the fact that the
practice reduced the number OF men
necessary in the running OF trains.
When in Topeka last week Vice
President Barr said that the Santa Fe
was compelled to run double headers"
because of the active competition of
the present day. This means that as
long as Mr.. Barr is In office they will
be run on the Santa Fe.

NATIONAL DESTINY YET TO BE FUI
FILLED.

Il can conceive of a national des-
tiny surprising the glories of the
present and the pasta destiny which
meets the responsibilities of today
and measures up to the possibilities
of the future. Behold a republic,
resting securely on the foundation
stones quarried by revolutionary pa
triots from the mountain of eternal
truth-a republic applying in practice
and proclaiming to the world the self
evident proposition that all men are
created equal; that they are endowed
with inalienable rights; that govern
ments are instituted among men to
secure these rights, and that govern
ments derive their Just powers from
the consent of the governed. Behold
a republic in which civil and religious
liberty stimulate all to earnest en-
deavor and in which the law restrains
every hand uplifted for neighbor's
injury republic in which every
citizen is sovereign, but in which
no one cares TO wear a crown. Be
hold republic standing erect while
empires all around are bowed be-
meath the weight of their own arma-
ments-a republic whose flag is loved
while other flags are only feared. Be
hold republic increasing in poPula-
ton, in wealth, in strength and in
influence, solving the problems Of
civilization and Fastening the coming
of universal brotherhood "a repub-
lie which shakes thrones and dissolves
aristocracies by it's silent example and
gives light and inspiration to those
who sit n darkness. Behold a repub-
lie gradually but surely becoming a
supreme moral factor in the world S
progress and the accepted arbiter of
The worlds disputes-a republic
whose history, like the path of the
just. lis as the shining light that
shineth more and more unto the per-
feet day. w. j. Bryan.

SOME time ago, Senator Quay, OF
Pennsylvania, Prophesied that he
would be reelected senator and his
prophesy seems to have been borne
out by the results of the recent cleo
tion. 1t seems that he has taken adj
vantage of the heavy party vote in
ton of sufficient Legislators favor
able to himself to insure him a seat
in the 57th congress. He had the
bitterest opposition in the last ses-
sion of the legislature, but his OPP
Ponents thought him too dead to de-
serve particular notice, and conse-
quently Boss Quay appears to be very
much in evidence again, and those
who laughed at his prophesy are wear

john ID. ROCKEFELLER gets from
Standard Oil alone. exclusive of his
other enormous holdings, an income
of $15, 900, 900. This is equivalent to
81. $50. 900 per month, or $41, O95 per
day-more than four-fifths as much
in one day rs the president of the
United States receives per year.
Rockefeller's income from Standard
Oil alone is 300 times the presidents
salary. The injustice of a system
that produces such an income as this
trust magnate receives is what the
democratic party protests against.
Rockefeller. of course, voted for Nc
Kinley, Roosevelt and Hanna because
it was to his advantage to do so.
