q. g. NAIL AND THE UNDERPA1D
MALE WHO CARRIES IT.
CARRIERS POOR WAGES.
Have Rural Service Conili-
lions Bettered.

Rural letter carriers have lost their
light to obtain adequate compensation
from the government. The Republic
an majority in congress has gone on
record in favor of the meager allow
ance of $50 month to rural carriers
who have to buy and feed their own
horses and work every day in the year
in all kinds of weather.
When the rural carriers went to con-
gress with their petition they found
but half a dozen active supporters, and
in the lead of the fight for justice and
decent wages stood Representative
William Randolph Hearst of New
York. Against the united opposition
to fair increase Mr.. Hearst and a
few fair minded Democrats sought to
amend the postal appropriation bill
and give the carriers salaries common
surate with the service they perform.
Their efforts were frustrated by de-
termined majority. The rural carriers
are now worse off than they were a
year ago. Their salaries have been in
creased to 500 a year, but the privi-
lege to carry express and daily news
papers is taken away from them.

Chean Coal.

In a recent report by the American
consul at Vladivostok it is stated that
coal is mined in that district at cost
Of 2 cents ton. Until short time ago
the cost Of production was 5 cents a
ton. In fixing wage rates for Amer
ican miners the coal barons invariably
make comparisons with the cost Of pro-
duction in other parts of the world,
and this tends to keep the earnings Of
the American at the lowest possible
point. About the only influence in this
country which has combated the wage
reducing tendency of the coal barons
has been the insistent and persistent
effort Of the Hearst papers, which are
under the direct editorial management
Of William Randolph Hearst.
Attempts have been made to enforce
antitrust laws to loosen the grip of the
coal operators upon American domestic
and Industrial life, and the publicity
given the methods Of the greedy monop-
olists has been effective in mitigating
somewhat the unjust conditions.

william. Prods Roosevelt.

Congressman John Sharp Williams,
the minority leader in the house. has
Just offered two resolutions of inquiry
which, while directed at Attorney Cen
eral Knox, are really prod to the
whole Roosevelt administration for its
refusal to prosecute the trusts.
One Of these resolutions virtually
asks why the criminal clause of the
Sherman antitrust law is not being ap-
piled to the rich officials of the North
ern Securities company, who by the
supreme court decision are shown to
be criminals. Why are those found
guilty not being indicted?
The other resolution asks substan-
tally why the attorney general has
not made use of the evidence put in
his possession year and half ago
showing clearly that the anthracite
coal trust is an illegal combination.
The attorney general is the only per-
son who can bring suit against trust.
Why does not he follow up the nomi-
nal victory won against the Northern
Securities company? Why does he has
not run amuck" in enforcing the law
against trusts? Is it not clearly be-
cause the Republican party does not
dare to antagonize the trusts at any
time and especially on the eve Of
presidential election? Where would
they get campaign funds If they were
to make enemies of the trust mag
mates?

REPUBLICANS IN TROUBLE.

Events Are Working Agaiast TAen.

Events Are Working Against Then.
The programme of the Republican
leaders, which is backed by President
Roosevelt, for an early adjournment
Of congress has met with an unexpect-
ed obstacle in the probable impeach-
ment Of Judge Swayne Of Florida. IL
the house OF representatives follows
the recommendation Of the judiciary
committee this United States Judge
will be impeached for high crimes and
misdemeanors. That will entail that
congress shall remain in session some
months longer than the Republican
leaders hoped or intended. In the
meantime the various committees are
prolonging the hearings OH the bills
that the Republicans do not wish to
so on record, SO that if a report is
finally agreed upon it is intended to
be too late for final action. In that
way the Republican patriots hope that
they will not be called upon to vote
for or against these debatable ques.
tons. Among these are the bills de-
manded by the labor organizations for
shorter hours, anti-injunction and ar
bitration; for reciprocity and tariff re-
form; for free trade with the Philip
pines, recommended by Governor Taft;
the service pension bill; the bills for
statehood for the territories, which are
promised in the last Republican plat
form; the ship subsidy bill; the pure
food bill; the bill to increase the pow
Ier Of the interstate commerce commits
sion to regulate railroad rates and the
Smoot antipolygamy case in the sem
ate. All these and some others the
Republican managers do not want the
party to pass upon before the election,
as record vote on any of them might
be disastrous in many states and per-
haps change the result of the national
election.
The impeachment of Judge Swayne
would compel the house Of representa-
tives to remain In session unless the
senate agreed that the lower house
could adjourn after the appointment
of the managers of the impeachment
on the part of the house. The few
,precedents seem to be against such an
agreement. With the house of repre-
sentatives in session until we'll into
the summer, there would be constant
opportunity for the Democrats to ex-
plot the numerous mistakes Of the
party in power. There is also dread
on the part of the Republicans that
President Roosevelt will suddenly do
something that the country will not
Endorse. and with congress in session
It would be emphasized by the Demo-
cratic leaders.
So 1t will be seen that the Republic
an leaders are in peck of trouble and
will not be relieved in their minds I'M
til congress has adjourned.

India Rubber.

Few articles seem more strangely
named than india rubber. 1t gets the
rubber" from the first use to which
1t was put-that Of erasing pencil
marks by rubbing. Nor should 1t be
associated with India. The tree was
first mentioned by an explorer among
the Mexican Indians three centuries
ago, and the first account of the sub
stance occurs in connection with Co
lumbus' visit to Haiti on his second
voyage. Most of our present importa-
ton comes from Brazil. But Colum-
bus and those explorers who followed
him were searching for a short passage
to India, and they supposed that the
land they discovered was India. The
name india rubber is therefore a per-
manent sign of their mistake.

himself, says the representative Of u

ger of being consumed by the fire of
his own eloquence:
The water seemed to spur the fire to
wilder deeds The flames and the
smoke rolled higher and higher, and
the scene became luridly, awfully mag
nificent, beyond tottcring words power
to paint 1t was canto of Dante's
Inferno acted In all it's fiery pomp
and splendor. Banners Of fame would
now be waved out by dark smoke
bands, then ten million curling little
pennons of the fire would hiss and
fiutter, then vanish, and great reeling
tower of. smoke, whose darkness was
stabbed and spangled with flames and
sparks, would fill the buildings, grimly
shoot back from reflected surfaces a
crimson greeting, and up in the far
off sky the outglistened stars turned
pale for shame and the moon through
the drifted smoke glowed like bowl

A Missouri Nun nchausen

There are some pretty fair Nimrods
in Missouri now, but a story which is
printed in an old history Of Galloway
county shows that some of those of
former days could make contemporary
sportsmen look like 30 cents either
as shots or as raconteurs. "Mr. Cal
vim Tate" according to this history,
"says that the wild pigeons were so
plentiful one summer that frequently
when they would alight on tree it
would bend down to the ground with
their weight. He went hunting one
day, and seeing a fine lot of pigeons
in tree he hitched his horse to one
of the limbs and fired and killed 300 at
one shot. The rest flew away, and as
soon as the tree was relieved of their
weight 1t Strengthened up, carrying his
horse with it, and the poor brute had
to hang there until Tate could go home
and get an AK and cut the tree down"
