just ground of criticism. 1t is rather
the way in which these dividends are
earned-or rather provided, for the
are not in the true sense of the word
earned at all. In December the
whole country was suffering from a
coal famine. One group of monop-
olists, by ~quarreling with their work
ingmen, had shut off the supply of
coal for so many months that the
mines, when opened, were unable to
catch up with the demand. In this
emergency many people turned to
the most available fuel substitute
-oiI-only to find that it, too, was in
the grasp of monopoly. As soon as
this new demand for their product
became apparent, MI. Rockefeller
and his associates advanced the price
of oil one cent a gallon in barrels,
and two cents a gallon in cases. This
advance does not measure the actual
advance to retail purchasers, which
is much greater. For this advance
there was no reason, except that of
the highwayman; the people were at
the mercy of the monopoly. There
had been no increase in the price of
the raw product, and the corporation
controlling the market had just de-
clared dividends amounting to for
ty-fve per cent in n year. Even
if some of MI. RockefeIler's share
of this loot went to the support of
the departments of political economy
and social science in the Universe
ty of Chicago, the public can hardly
be expected to refrain from COM

easy Money" for Rockefeller.

It is not inappropriate in connec-
ton with this discussion to call at
tention to the ease with which Mr..
Rockefeller extracts money from the
pockets of the people wherewith to
make his benefactions. During the
year 1902 the dividends declared by
the Standard Oil Company amount
ed to forty-fve per cent on the $780,
100000 of capitalization. As Mr..
Rockefeller is understood to hold in
the neighborhood of one-half of this
capital stock, it is not to be feared
that occasional gifts of $1,OOO,OOO to
his proprietary university will Sc
riously cripple him. However, the
fact of heavy dividends is not

Free Mail Delivery for the Farmers.

Free Mail Delivery Tor the FARMERS
The fact that the farmers in a ter
ritory representing 100000 square
miles of the United States have their
mail delivered and collected by gov
eminent carriers indicates not only
the remarkable development of what
is termed rural free delivery, but its
broad and deep significance to the
country at large. When it is remem-
bered that this area comprises nearly
one-third of the territory at present
devoted to agriculture, and that the
beginning of the present service
dates back as recently as 1895, a
more intelligent conception can be
gained of it's expansion. Yet the
permanent organization of this de-
partment of the post Office was not
effected until July 1, 1902, when its
necessity was emphasized by reports
which showed hat 9,466 routes we're
in operation, an increase of 4,165 in
one year, while on June 80, 1900, but
1875 routes we're being served, re-
quiring an appropriation for ex-
penses of $45O,OOO, which in 1901 was
raised to SO, 1893, 74O. Since the date
of the permanent establishment,
however, the force of carriers has
been increased, until at present it
constitutes an army of about $4,000
who daily travel over nearly 100000
miles of highway for the benefit of a
population of about 100000. In
some of the States the routes have
been heightened by the demand for
the facilities offered by the Govern
ment until entire counties depend on
the carrier service, and the country
post Office in a corner of the cross
roads store, or perhaps blacksmith
shop, is rapidly becoming a memory.
To again quote statistics, about 1920
offices of this class have been discon-
tinued; their salary list amounted to
100000 annually. The delivery has
also taken the place of about Is per
cent of the star-route service, cost
ing $65O,OOO. Iowa had four coun-
ties, Maryland one, New York five,
Kansas two, Connecticut me-, Penn
~sylvania one, and California one, COW
cred by the rural free delivery at the
close of 1902, while 200 counties in
various States were served by car
riers, with the exception of a few
neighborhoods.-From "The Rural
Free Delivery Service" by Day Al
len Wiley, in the American Monthly
Review of Reviews for January.

Legislation Needed to Protect Factory
Operatives.
ditor of The Progressive Farmer:

u members of the Legislature to
the brutal manner in which our poor
helpless women and children are
murdered up in factories in North
Carolina, as I am. sure that many of
u representatives have no idea how
they have to work in these factories,
for I am sure that if they did fully
understand how they do have to
work, they would unanimously vote
for some bill that would give them
relief. To those who do not know
how they have to work, let me say:
The whistle blows for them to be at
the factory and ready to work at 6
o'clock in the morning; that is part
of the year before day break; which
is not a respectable time for our wo-
men and children to be out travelling.
Then the whistle blows fifteen min
utes after twelve for dinner, then
blows again at 1 o'clock to go to
work; then they work until the whis-
tie blows again after dark at 7
o'clock, making twelve hours and
fifteen minutes for a day. It does
seem to me that all representatives
that have any humanity would vote
against such proceedings, if not to
give relief to our poor helpless wo-
men and children, it would stop the
shame of people of other States and
newspapers so justly calling the fac
tories of our State slaughter pens.
I am not personally concerned in
the working of the factories, only I
have had the chance of seeing the
great damage 1T is doing, breaking
the constitution and running the
health of our and children, |
and I think it the duty of myself and
every good citizen to use their whole
influence to put a stop to all such, as
those people are in a helpless condi-
ton, as the great mass of the chill
dren, and their parents too, are
afraid to sign a petition to send to
the Legislature for their protection
for fear that they will be discharged,
and necessity compels them to work
there, it matters not how bad their
treatment is. But I thank God that
I an not afraid to speak publicly for
them, as I am sure that justice and
wisdom demand their relief, and I do
not see that it can be any good to the
factory owners to work them so long,
as it has broken down and caused
many of their best hands to be com
PEELED to quit them and has prevent
ed many others from going there to
work.
I think that nine or ten hours at
most would be a humane and a rea-
sonable length of time for them to
work, and I think that the factories
then would be a blessing to the wo-
men and children; otherwise, they
are a curse.
It would be well to forbid their
working them any longer, as they
have a way of telling people that
they must make a special agreement
to work so many hours or they won't

Senator Morgan of Alabama is still
opposed to the Panama canal and de-
clares that il that programme is ad-
hered to there will be no canal. We
believe Senator Morgon is not mistaken,
unless the plans Of those who propose
the Panama route and are advocating
it. miscarry. It will be remembered
that when il seemed that the building
of canal could no longer be obstructed
and the time wal ripe for concluding
treaties with Nicaragua and Costa RIGA,
the Panama project was sprung by
Senator Hanna, who succeeded in push
ing the Nicaragua scheme into the back
ground and bringing that of Panama
into prominence. In this way Hanna
and his co-workers threw everything
into uncertainty and delayed the work.
And now, no agreement has been reach-
ed with Colombia, nor is there likely to
be for some time to come, if ever, as
there is but little doubt that Hanna
and his confreres are at the bottom Of
all the troubles that arises. There is
no doubt that the railroads are opposed
to an isthmns canal anywhere, and that
Hanna is their representative in the
Senate.

TO FIGHT THE TRUSTS.

The lower House of Congress has
passed q bill appropriating $500. 900 to
be used by the Attorney General in
fighting the trusts. The Senate may
or may not. pass the bill. but it is GER
tain that in either event the trusts will
NOT be harmed. The Presidents posi-
ton is we'll defined. He is opposed to
to doing anything to the bad trusts
that might hurt the good ones. He
proposes thai the wheat and the tares
shall grow together, lest in roofing mp
the tares, the wheat may suffer also.
The trusts themselves understand the
situation and are satisfied with il, as is
shown 10 the continued organization OF
other trusts. It is not conceivable that
cautious capitalists would continue to
make such Investments and combine
tions il they considered the situation as
OF all doubtful. The Republicans in
Congress realize the necessity of doing
something, but they are not going to
do anything that will materially injure
their friends or offend them.

LKo's AGE AND REIGN.

On November 4th the Pope had oc-
cupied the chair Of st. Peters longer
than any one except Plus TX. It lie q
fact. which speaks for the increased
healthfulness Of Rome, that of the 262
Popes those who have reigned longest
should be the two last, Plus TX, who
was Pontiff for thirty one years and
seven months, and Leo Kill, who has.
up to the present, held his great Office
for twenty-four years, eight months
and fourteen days. Before to-day the
second place. which now belongs to
the existing Pope, was held by the un-
fortunate Plus VI, who died in exile
at Valence on the Rhone in 1893. By
some writer's st. Peter is said to have
been bishop of Rome for twenty-five
years, and this belief was the origin Of
the famous medieval saying. addressed
TO q new Pope on his election: Thou
shalt not see the years of st. Peter"
But Plus TX. signally fslsifed the
truth of the maxim, and there is every
reason to believe that his successor,
too. will complete his t~wenty-ffth year
of office. In point Of age, Leo XIII. is
third of the Pontiffs. his 90 years hav-
ing been surpassed by st. Agsthus.
