ONLY YOUNG MEN WANTED.
No New Clerks Over 81 Years of
Age ON the Erie Railroad.

Age ON the Erie Railroad.
From the Newark Advertiser.
Much fault has been Round with the
recent order issued by the Erie Rail-
road management calling for the res
ignatlon of all clerks over 35 years old
who were appointed after May /, 1903,
and announcing that hereafter no man
who has reached the age mentioned
will be allowed to enter the employ
of the road as a clerk. In justification
of the order it is asserted by the sec
rotary of the company that men who
have become IS without succeeding at
something else have little chance to
take up railroad work.
Several critics declare that it is not
only hard doctrine that unless a man
has found a career in which he can
succeed at IS he is not likely to find
1t at all, but that this assumption is
refuted by many conspicuous exam
pies. But most of the examples they
give are conspicuous because they are
exceptions. And some of them are not
pertinent. Under the 35-year-old rule,
says one of these critics, Ulysses S.
Grant would have been barred from
command of the armies that saved the
Union. for at 40 his talent for mill
tary leadership was unknown and UNI
guessed at" j. Pierpont Morgan as
a great financier, Blaine, Mckinley,
Cleveland, are also mentioned as men
whose successes came late in life.
None of these examples proves that
the Erie's order is Illogical. 1t seems
to have been overlooked that Grant
had been educated as a soldier. Nor
are the other examples Apostle The
qualities that make a success in poll
ties may be found in every walk Of
life, and none of the three was adrift
at 35 seeking occupation.
The Frie's rule means that at that
age a man has generally found his
bent, and that one who has not is lit
tie likely to enter the railroad service
as a ''greenhorn" and achieve distinc-
ton at it from the clerks stool. 1t
does not mean that those who have
been in the employ of the road as
clerks must go at the age of 49, but
only those who at that age have be-
gun to learn the business.

A novel spectacle was witnessed here
to-day, when the Ladies' Aid Society
of MARYLAND avenue NJ. f. Church,
embracing about 200 prominent women
church workers, marched in body to
the local canning factory and were
set to work peeling tomatoes for the
packers. They went attired in old
froeks and aprons, rubber boots and
other articles, as a protection from
the slime and slush of the peeling and
cooking rooms. The women carried
their peeling knives in the procession,
and propose to work two days each
week as long as the packing season
lasts. They will earn about 60 cents per
day.
The women agreed to raise a GER
tain sum towards enlarging the church
and building a parsonage, and will go
out and earn money at the hardest
kind of work. The canneries adver-
tised for 200 tomato peelers, and the
church women were offered the jobs
and accepted.

LODE COUNTY ALLIANCE REPORTS
Tvs

EDITOR of The Progressive FsrmeF'
Il beingm duty, 1 send you here
with a sketch of the Warren County
Alliance meeting for the quarter
ending June 80, 1908. The Alliance
mot with Smith Greek Sub on July
14tb. There were delegates only
from Jones Spring and Smith Greek
Sub to compose the Alliance, to-
ootber with its officers. We had
present Bro. w. B. Fleming, State
President, and Bro. Jno. Graham,
Principal of Warrenton Preparatory
School, and one of the States best
educators. With these and other
brethren, and bucket full after
bucket full of ice-cold lemonade, and
at y o'clock a table laden with such
delicacies as only the wives and
daughters of Smith Greek farmers
can prepare, you may guess the day
was spent in harmony and pleasure.
It is a puzzle to the writer to
know why the farmers won't organ
lie as all other professions, unless it
be the power or influence of the
power now behind the throne-which
once shook the foundations of the
Alliance in order to crush it out.
This power now is at no less enmity
against the organization than then,
and have their sharks in every COM
munity, who, when the Alliance is
mentioned, show their teeth, and the
poor farmer hangs his head and
shuts his mouth in shame that he
ever belonged to such an organiza-
ton. Oh, for an education and back
bone among the farmers to cause
them to stand for their rights under
all circumstances!
Would that some plan could be
arranged whereby each Alliance
county could be better benefited by
the Agency fund than at present.
Its prices for most articles are high
er on account of freight than same
articles can be bought here from
local dealers. 1t seems reasonable
that the funds or bonds of the
Agency might be distributed to the
Alliance counties subject to the
County Executive Committee, and to
be invested or as a backing for in
Vestment in cooperative stores, cot
ton-seed oil mills or as the Alliance
might wish to invest. I think a
plan something like this would be
strengthening to the Order.
