CARROLL d. WRIGHT.
U. S. Commissioner of Labor, Accents
the Increasing Sobriety In Civil
and Political Life,

and Political Life,
Observations, extending over long
term of years-nearly a generation,
teaches me that the surest way of Sc.
curing temperate community is
through the industrial organization.
Railroads are indulging in this tenn.
perance movement in the interest of
safety to the public and to the men
employed. We all remember the rail-
road man of generation ago. He
did not stand we'll in the community
where he lived. Parents warned their
boys not to associate with them. All
this has been changed, and by two
forces acting in co. operation. The
railroad brotherhood have done their
share, and the railroads have perform
ed their duty as rapidly as possible.
The first movement, as recollect ii,
was on the Old Colony Railroad in
Massachusetts,. The management is
employed who was addicted to drink
while on duty. 1t soon became appar-
ent that this order amounted to moth
ing; that a man might drink while
not on duty and be totally unfit for
his duty when he took it up. So the
order was extended, and the men were
prohibited from drinking at all.
This movement has spread all over
the country and is extending to indus
try generally. The labor unions ioin-
ed it, and insist that their members
should be sober men. Now there is
not class of public servants any
where in the country that has better
record for sobriety, industry, intelli-
gence, faithfulness and loyalty than
the railroad employees. Employers
understand now that it costs no more
to employ sober, clear. man
than it does one whose head is befog-
ged.
The Federal Government at Wash
ington has done much to extend this
idea. Back of twenty years ago the
sight of drunken clerk during office
hours and on the street was not a rare
one. To-day one will not see a gov
ernment employee week IN and week
out who is under the influence of in
toxicating liquor. The civil service
law and rules absolutely prohibit the
employment of habitual drinkers.
This leads me to believe that the
very best and most efficient temper
ance movement is that which has been
taken up quietly, without banners and
without boasts, by the employers Of
the country. There is too much
drunkenness, of course, but an appeal
The Western news., 1903-10-21

to the best interests of a man through
the tenure of his employment is worth
more than any lecture. The move
ment is in the right direction. and
holds out the best hope to those who
believe, as do, that the world is
constantly gaining ground.

oIdes. House in the World.

Not since humanity began delving
into the mysteries of the existence of
primitive man has a discovery been
made (says Science Siftings) so rich
in it's suggestiveness of the home life
of prehistoric races as that made by
the United States revenue cutter Bear
on her recent cruise to the Arctic
ocean. A house built by human beings
at least 5000 years ago, and probably
of an antiquity far greater, was discov-
cred by Alaskan natives near Point
Barrow, and many of the utensils used
by the people who made it habitation
were secured. Some hatchets, stone
knives, and other stone and bone Inn
plements belonging to races that -FOUR
ished before the dawn of history, have
frequently been found, but never be-
fore has house in which they lived
been found preserved through the
wrecks Of time and all the elemental
catastrophes that have strewn the sur
face of the earth with ruin and death.

The scene after the announcement
Of the disagreement was in no wise
exciting. Some started to clap hands,
but were stopped by the court. The
guards took immediate possession of
the prisoners and they were closely
guarded back to the Jail. People gath

discussing the case, but there was no
disturbance nor outward sign of trou-

Attorney Byrd, after consultation,

the venue to Cynthiana, Harrison

Remarkable Natural Bridge.

Recently a man prospecting in the
mining regions of Arizon found re-
markable natural bridge. 1t spans a
deep canyon forty, five feet in width.
The bridge is made by a great petri-
fed tree that lies across the gorge.
Scientific men say that many ages
since this tree was Frustrated by some
terrific storm and fell across the can
yon. By the effects of the water and
of time it has passed through many
stages of naturalization, and is now
a wonderful tree of solid agate. And
there it lies, making an agate bridge
over which men may pass from side
