Benefits of the Service.

Much has been said as to the benefit
Of rural free delivery to the farmer ana
much more could be written. Speaking
on this subject. Representative Arthur
l.. Bates. of Pennsylvania, said in the
House OH March 10. 1904:

tion made 10y the general government.

PAY OF RAILROAD MEN.
Wage Farmers Have Profted Because
of Republican Policy.

The last report of the Interstate Com
merce Commission shows that the total
compensation paid to railway employees
of al! classes in the United States in
creased from $37, S23,O21 in 1896 to
Sal ,S2S, 555 in 1902. This in itself would
indicate general railroad prosperity dur
ing six years of Republican rule but still
more significant is the fact that the
greatest increase was among the wage
carriers. In fact, there was a decrease in
the salaries paid general officers. The
decrease in this item was from SI63 ,096,
in 1896 to $720,6S0 in 1902-a decrease
of $42,4 in six years.
On the other hand the total yearly
compensation of station agents increased
from 81 ,366,925 in 1896 to 81 ,462, S74 in
1902; the yearly compensation of en-
gineers increased from 81. OPT ,5S4 in 1896
to S3451 .0SS in 1902: that of firemen
from 81, 1906 in 1896 to 81 ,946 246 in
1902; that of conductors from 81 .97S, 165
to 81. $50 1866; that of other trainmen
from $3,100063 to $4.697,272: that of
machinists from 81 .12S, 634 to 81, 422. 500;
that of section foremen from S1,260, 634
to S1,377,3 1854; and so on through the
whole list. The figures show that the
daily wage earners in the railroad bust
ness profited largely by Republican pros
perity.

DO NOT WANT A CHANGE.
People Are willing to Continue the
Present Ad miuistratfon

The constitution of the United States
requires an election for President and
Vice President every four years. The
provision is mandatory and cannot be
escaped Under il the people are called
upon 10 vote for President and Vice
President every fourth year without re-
gard to politics, the record, or the work
of the administration in power. The cleo
ton must be held whether a change is
desirable or not.
There is reason to believe that a large
majority OF the American people do not
desire change in the national admins
tration at the present time, and that il
u were a matter of choice with them no
election would be held this year. A ma
tional election always interferes with
business more or less. and as the business
OF the country grows the feeling increases
that. in the absence of any reason for
a change. presidential election is a dis
turbing factor that might well be dis
pensed with if the constitution permit
ted. That is the situation at present.
The great mass of the people are SO
well satisfied with the present admins
tration that they do not desire a change,
and If the constitution did not require an
election to be held they would regard it
as unnecessary.
Who wants a change? Not the farm
ers, for they never were more prosper
Gus OF better satisfied than they are at
present Not the business men, for bust
ness is satisfactory. Not manufacturers,
for American manufacturers are outstrip-
ping those of all other countries Not
wage-earners, for there are more men
employed at good wages to-day than ever
before in the history of the country. Not
railroad men, for the transportation bust
ness has grown enormously during the
last few years and still gives promise of
future growth. In short, no large class
OF ouI varied population can be named
but has good reason to desire con-
tinuance of present conditions. If it
were not for the constitutional require
merit the people would have preferred
that no election took place this year
The only exceptions are the Democrat
&c party leaders and those unfortunate
people who have not the sense to let
well enough alone.

Of this service.
Roosevelt's Recommendation.
In his last annual message President
Roosevelt again called attention to the
importance Of the rural free delivery
service, saying:
The rural ce-deivery service has been
steadily extended. The attention of Con
gress Is asked to the question Of the com
pensatlon Of the letter carriers and clerks
engaged IN the postal service. especially ON
the new rural free-delivpry routes. More
routes have been installed since the LIST Of
July last than In any like period IN the
to economy must be kept In mind In the
establishment Of new fOUtes, yet the
tension Of the rural free-deliyery system
must be continued for reasons Of soGuh
public policy. No governmental movement
OF recent years has resulted In greater i'm
mediate benefit To the people OF the cOun-
try districts. Rural frec-deIlvcry. taken In
connection with the telephone, the bicycle
and the trolley, acccmplishes much toward
iessening the isolation of farm life and
making II brighter. and more attractive
In the Immediate past the lack OF just such
facilities as these has driven many Of the
more active and restless young men and
women from the farms to the cities, for
they rebelled ut loneliness ana lack Of
mental colnpnnlOnship. II Is unhealthy and
undesirable for the cities to grow at the
expense Of the country, aud rural free de-
livery Is not only good thing In Itself,
but Is good because II Il one Of the causes
which check this unwhol"s0me tendency
toward the urban concentration OF our
population at the expense Of the country
districts
The foregoing quotations are sufficient
to show that Republican executives real
lied the Importance of the rural delivery
syst IN to the farming communities and
did everything in their power to extend
1t. During President McKinley's first
term establishment Of routes had been
given such an impetus that by 1900 the
seryics lad passed far beyond the expert
mental stage and Congress had approp.
riated 100000 for maintenance of the
routes then in operation. These routes
numbered 1876 at the close of McKin.
ley's first term, but many others had
been surveyed and were ready to be
established. The service became so pop
ular that farmers flooded the postoffice
department with petitions for new routes
Corps Of inspectors were appointed, divi.
sions were created, superintendent plac.
ed in charge aud the service was put on
merhodlcal business basis.
Routes Now in Operation.
The system has been so rapidly ex-
tended under President Roosevelt that
Congress this year appropriated $21 ,OOO,-
600 for the service, which now EN-.
braces approximately 27,500 routes.

LABOR CONTROVERSIES,
Republican Legislation Providing for
Arbitration

The only national legislation providing
for the arbitration of labor controversies
and recognizing organized labor was en-
acted by the Republicans. On June I.
1898, President Mckinley signed bill
passed by a Republican Congress entitled
An Act concerning carriers engaged in
interstate commerce and their employees"
1t should be understood. of course. that
Congress could not legislate for employees
III general. but il has authority to regu-
late interstate commerce. The act re-
ferred TO provides that whenever a con-
troversy arises between an Interstate
railroad and its employees the Interstats
Commerce Commission shall first offer
Mediation, and. that failing. shall en-
d"avor to bring about arbitration of the
dispute. The act provides that if arbi-
tration is agreed To. lone member of the
board OF arbitration shall be selected by
the employer. one by the labor orxaniza-
ton to which the employee belongs. and
a third by these two" Another section
OF the law makes it a misde meanor for
any interstate railroad to dismiss an
empioye or threaten him with loss of
employment for belonging to a union.
This law is still in force and il is the
only piece of national legislation that
recognizes organized labor. Democrats
nave talked. but Republicans have acted.

One Of she Strsng Peculisrities of the
Democratic Party. -Ino !.

The Democratic party has been aptly
compared to q man sitting in the last
seat in the last ear of a railway train.
and riding backward. He never saw
anything until he had got by ii. This
striking popularity of the party is as
conspicuous to-day as it was in the six
ties, seventies, Eighties and nineties.
The Democratic party lives TO pro-
test, to warn, to oppose. 1t never APP
preciated what the war for the preserva-
ton of the Union meant until it was all
over. Even now a large section of it
has not arrived at the civilized view of
slavery. 1t takes about a half century
TO get any great event into correct focus
for the Democratic eye. OF late, some
of the Democrats have begun to realize
the greatness of Abraham Lincoln, but
these Democrats are men who have re-
ceived their education in Republican
communities, 50 obtaining the benefits of
up to date schools, colleges and churches.
The full significance of the American
occupa ton and control of the Philip
pines has not yet dawned upon what
takes the place in the Democratic make
up, of understanding. Neither has the
open door in China affected the same
set of nerve tissues and atoms, in the
least. because of some constitutional lack
of power in the combination to compre-
bend what is going on at the time when
the thing is happening.
For the same reason the immense i'm
portance and significance of the estab-
lishment of the new department of Com
merce and Labor with a Bureau of Cor
porations, has not dawned upon the Dem
ocratic mental machinery.
Well, never mind. When the living,
thinking, working world has whirled by,
the Democratic brethren will see. in a
hazy manner, from their perch at the
end of the train. And they will, as us
ual, protest, warn, oppose and then
dream on!
The Democracy always wears long
distance glasses and looks backward over
the track. If by chance it takes off it's
'far-aways" and looks ahead. it turns
into Republicanism. This happens, some
times. Witness the many recent CONVEX
sions

ROOSEVELT FOR PEACE
President Il Now Negotiating New
Arbitration Treaties.

Charles Cheney Hyde, lecturer on in
ternational law at Northwestern Univer-
sity. Chicago. says:
During his reception to the members of
the lnter-Parliamentary Union on Septem-
her "a President Roosevelt made a state
ment which yitally interests Intelligent
citizens throughout the country, irrespective
OF their party affiliations He said: I'VE
are even now taking steps to secure arbi-
tration treaties with all other governments
which are willing to enter into them with
us. Those who oppose him will admit that
the President would not have spoken IN this
way II he we,& not making the attempt
In good faith to conclude with friendly
nations trea les which provide for the set
tlement by peaceful methods OF differences
OF serious character which diplomacy may
fail to adjust Those who admire him are
reJoiced to hear him express in no uncer-
tain tone his desire to substitute srbitra-
tion for the sword as means of settle
mcnt Of disputes to which the United
states may be party.
Equally significant was the Presidents
promise to the Inter-Pa rllamentarians to
call another conference Of the powers at
The Hague. The whole world knows that
that promise will he kept and that repre-
sentatives from the several nations will
meet again at The Hague, possibly in 1905
In order to solve some problems which still
vex civilization and alarm commerce. The
results to be Anticipated are far-reaching

rights of states fixed where there is still

Roosevelt not only the United States, but
every other civilized nation as well, will
