SIBERIAN RAILWAY DISTANCES

IT APPEARS from the report of
i United States Consul Warner of
Leipzig, Germany, who has been max
ing a study of the Trans-Siberiau rail-
way. that the loop around the southern
end Of Lake BaiIaI is by no means as
nearly finished as was stated some
months ago. Mr. Warner says that
only forty-four miles OF the line have
been completed, leaving l15 miles vet to
be constructed over a very difficult
section of country.
Many months must elapse, according
to the best authorities, before the pres
ent terminals Of the road win be con-
uected, In the meanwhile the slow fer
ries across the lake will be used, thus
making the transportation of troops
and passengers more arduous and less
swift than if the route We're an au-raii
one. Ia his report Consul Warner also
gives some figures as to distances on
the Traus-Siberian railroad. These fig
ures. he says. are official, and as they
vary somewhat from previous reports
they may make interesting reading.
The consul says that the length of
the road from the Russo Siberian
frontier TO Irkutsk is 2078 miles. Tt Is
914-34 miles from Missovak, on the west
shore of Lake BaikaI TO the BIanchu-
rian line BY the Chinese Eastern rail-
way from Mauchuria via Hardin %
VIadivostok is ] .sS5.g3 miles. After the
loop around Lake Baikal has been hn-
ished travellers from the Siberian from
tier to Vladivostok must cover "a dis
lance of A6l0 miles. Through these
figures an idea may be gained of Rus
sia's troop transportation problem. And
it must be remembered that the road
over which the troops must travel is
built of light rails and very poorly
equipped with rolling stock.

APAlHFUL Duty.

MO MORE PAINFUL DUTY has ever
N devolved upon any church gather
ing than that which fell to the lot of
the Methodist general conference IN
Los Angeles the other day. This was
the retirement of I'VE aged bishops. TO
say TO five men who have grown old
i'm q cause. who have given to- it an the
best years of their lives, that they must
give way to younger men is task
that few of Us would care to perform
And YET somebody had TO do it in these
instances.
1t is pity the veteran bishops did
not resign. All of them are long past
the age when officers of the regular
army and of the navy are retired. Some
OF them have for years been the merest
dgureheads. Nevertheless Il seems a
pity thai they must DE turned out. So
&c is, though. with soldiers every
where; so it should be with soldiers of
the cross. The retired bishops win
lose nothing of the esteem and rever-
ence and respect in which they are held
by the members of their church and
by the public
They VII go into retirement with the
good win and The good wishes of thou

HE HERALD wishes to endorse the
stand taken by 81. j.. Aahon. pres
ident OF the Amaigamsted Association
Of street and Electric Railway Enl-
ployes with reference to unions iu poll
tics. ar Mahon is strongly against
the taking OF political action by labor
unions because he believes such action
has a greater tendency 90 disrupt and
disorganize the unions than amy other
proposition. He thinks labor unions
should be conducted as any business
organization is conducted. and he did
not hesitate 20 say so at a labor meet
ing in salt Lake ON SUNDAY.
Politics should find no place In the
business of labor organizat ton" said
mr. AIahon. "a labor union should
not endorse a political measure any
more than church creed. Resolu-
tions can be passed endorsing certain
political questions or the adoption of
a certain creed. but it cannot make a
man think that way. When It goes
that far. it is over the line that binds
the American industrial world 1t is
practical business. and business alone
lin organized labor or organized capital
''When a union delegation calls on a
business house for the purpose of set
thing some difficulty the cold, keen
business man does not want the ques-
tiOn settled i'm a theoretical way He
is unused to theory and is not chas-
ing the ideal To him business is just
as sacred as his politics or his religious
belief 1t should be the same In the
union. He wants the matter settled
according TO circumstances"
AIR. Mahon states the case I'm a nut
shell when DE says that labor unions
can pass resolutions endorsing certain
men or certain political measures, but
they cannot make the members OF the
union think that way. The humblest
workingman in the land is just as much
entitled 10 his private or public opinion
as the richest capitalist and no organ
ization can compel him TO think other
wise than according to the dictates Of
his own conscience.
ian a union comprising a great many
members it is impossible to get all Of
them to agree on any political matter
The majority passes a political resolu-
ton objectionable to the minority and
the first thing that majority knows
the minority secedes and organizes an
independent union. And both majority
and minority are again broken by po-
uucaI dissensi0ns until at last there
is no union.
Beyond a doubt the business of a
labor union is labor business. When It
no longer has no labor business to at
tend 10 the necessity for its existence
ceases.
