over those who are sent to refugees and

and accustomed to the style OF life they

it's officers place the children out in
homes and make a payment for lodg-

the public schools and the churches
and never feel themselves TO be
paupers.

THE dangers of Government own
ership of railways are that electors liv-
ing near rails try to make the govern
ment carry goods at rates too low to
pay, and the men having votes attempt
pressure in favor Of high wages and
short hours This Is met by appoint

WHERE LABOR RULES.
Labor is very highly organized in
what II considers its own interest. Each
State has Trade and Labor Council
with which all trades are affiliated.
