the latter alleged was stolen from a

portion Of Il lobby fund of $125,OO0
to be used among Michigan officials to
secure a $4.OOO,OOO contract to put in a

that some of them should cross. Curl
Gus complications result from contact
between spoilers as unknown to each
other as they are to those whom they
watch.
Several years ago at time Of gen
eral labor troubles certain railroad
got no less than five reports from its
confidential men informing them that
an employee who was several degrees
higher in the secret service of the road
than any of them. had they but known
| it, had been making incendiary speech

This was true. Matters had so
shaped themselves that the man ac-
cused had to appear as radical in or
der to gain admittance to inner coun,
ellis where the important questions
would be finally decided. To the cha
grin Of the authorities they were oblig-
ed to transfer him. Had they not done
so the suspicious Of the men who make
the reports would have been aroused
That spoilers should know each Other
as such is held to be highly undesira.

they might work in conjunction instead

"Probably the most perfect spotter
system achieved by any private cor

railroads, which is to some extent
modelled on the secret service system
of some of the eastern governments,
though by no means so complex.

ever, are its lines of communication
that the president of the organization
is himself kept constantly Informed
of the trend of affairs and the changes
of sentiment among the employees of
every division and subdivision of the
whole railway system, and that with

but his own special corps Of clerks
and secretaries
"Nobody but himself knows the en-
tire personnel of the wonderful service
that he has perfected. His agents are
| drawn from every branch of the roads
operating staff They are engineers,
|
conductors, signalmen. yardmen, sta
ton agents. track walkers and even
division officials. Should that road

likely to occur than they were before

newspapers.
"While it also acts as defense
against thefts by employees, this sys-
TEN is intended primarily to prepare,

ments toward the road of the men who
constitute the vast human machinery
of the corporation. The feeling which
eliminates in a general strike is not
the result of one act alone, but slow

Kimballton is growing and assumes
some city airs. The leading and in
fuential business man are discussing
the ACCESSIBILITY of putting in a sys-

been thoroughly discussed and we
hope that during the coming season
we may see water tower erected
above the town and water mains laid
along the principal streets with
| hydrapts located at the most con-
venient places. 1t is the sensible and
proper thing to do and can be done
with but little cost to each property
owner.
The entertainment given at the col

anything in school life that Is of so
much practical value as the ability to
appear easy in public life, TO come
before a body Of people and to eX-
press ones ideas clearly and forcibly
and not be frightened in SO doing.
