Milwaukee Suspected of Planning Line
West Of Ontonagon. .:

Special to The Journal. -.
Ontonagon, Mich, Oct. 10.-Activity
in territory west Of Ontonagon by the
Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul rail
road is causing much speculation. M.
merous surveys have been made, and
this week an official Of the engineering
department is in the district to look
the ground over again. It is not known
what the intentions Of the company are,
but there are good grounds for the as
sumption that it plans to tap the vast
timber district lying between Ontona-
gon and the Wisconsin state line by
the extension of the G. V. Mcmillan
Lumber company's line, which has been
built up the shore Of Lake Superior
for several miles. A big railroad bridge
spanning the Ontonagon river was built
by the Milwaukee several months ago
for the purpose Of forming a connec:
ton with the Mcmillan road, and, pre-
sumably thru an arrangement between
the companies, the logging road was
built Of standard width. There is an
enormous amount of standing timber
in the country between Ontonagon and
the Wisconsin state line, and if not
the Milwaukee road, it is assured that
eventually some railway system will
open the district. -.

DON'T LIKE REDUCTION
Section Men in Pen1nsular Michigan

Special to Tho Journal.
Ishpeming, Mich, Oct. 10.-Since the
recent receipt of an order reducing the
hours Of labor constituting days
in pay, nearly every section man in the
employ Of the Chicago & North w Western
railroad on the peninsula division north
from Escanaba has severed his connec-
tion with the company. The men have
been working ten hours a day and are
now ordered to work nine hours, with
nine hours pay. This they figure is
a cut Of 10 per cent in their monthly
pay, and in consequence there have
been wholesale desertions and the fore.
men are securing the territory for re.
oruits to fill the vacant places. There
is a shortage Of labor in the Lake Su.
perior region, men being in big demand
in the lumber woods, where the sea:
sons operations are now starting, and
it is said the railroad laborers who
have dropped their shovels are being

WHAr srINGy nL.xn.ANns nn-

When mere, miserable and slander- Ous man says anything against woman there is no use paying any attention to him or to what he says. For he does not and cannot know woman, and what he says against her is prompted by ig- ncrance and spite. But when a woman says anything against woman it may be assumed that she knows what she is talking about and is prompted only by knowledge and generosity. Filled with these thoughts. as Lecturer Stoddard used to say, let us notice something that Miss Margaret Mather said at the meeting of the Illinois Federation of Women's Clubs the other day. Miss Mather, who is an expert on domestic science said, half the wives did not know their husbands income. Such women, she said, having absolutely no money to spend, 'are forced to draw on their accounts with large department stores and have the loan appear on their monthly bill disguised as pur- chase" Large stores of cities, at least in Chicago, have regular arrangements for this kind of business, Miss Mather said, and that it is very generally prac- tised by women the delegates acknOwi-
 edged. They went so far as to say that club women themselves are not above resorting to this small dishonesty.
 Of course nothing of this kind is done in New Haven. That it is done any, where is bad enough, and it does not speak well for the stingy husbands who are the cause of it.

4 PROMISING MOVE.

The school systems of this country have some defects, and one of them is the lack of adequate provision for the teaching of backward children. TEe experiment of the New York school au- thorities in establishing speclal school for backward boys is one which will be carefully watched by the sda- cational authorities in all cur ci1ies. The New York schoo! authorities have now set aside one of the scnoois 10 be used exclusively for these boys. The capacity of the school is l35, and the classes are limited to fifteen. This school will not be confounded ill any way with the truant school. In fact, boys who do we'll in the truant scnool will be put in this new school, aid If locys do not do we'll in this new school they will be sent to the truant school, where other and severer methods will be tried The Boston Herald truly says: One of the great causes of tru- ancy is that boys who are backward in their studies and who do not get promoted grow in size and are plagued about it by the little fellows Tn the class. It often happens, for example, that boy born of foreign parents las to begin in the lowest grade when he is, say, ten years old. By the time he reaches a second or third class higher he is very much larger than the other boys. He grows dissatisfied and re- sorts to truancy. There are various reasons why it is we'll to taks these backward boys and give them special training. They may be called the ju- venile under dogs, and settlement workers and others who are in daily contact with the children of the tena- ments are quite familiar with this type.
 Perhaps by and by backward cilil- dren will have fair show. in all the school systems of the country. They do not have it now

time than the probable useful period Of the life insured. To carry insurancs upon useless lives is a piece of extrav- agant absurdity. But it has been very popaiaf' Thousand upon thousand or old people who have not been able to earn a dollar for years are now obliged to pay insurance premiums an- nuaIly, or lose their reserves. while the Hydes' the AleXanders, the McCalIs, the McCurdys and their numerous sateiites are growing fat and insolent on the vast aecumulations under their control All this should be promptly changed. All insurance contracts should be carefully limited to the prob able productive period of the lives in sured. and should then expire as term pol1cits, or mature as endowment poli- cies. The tables of mortality used should be carefully revised. and made to conform to the facts in the case The deferred dividend" policy, the main dependence of cormgDtionists. should be legislated out of existence like any other form of gambling by, every state in the Union. Premiun, rates should be reduced to the lowest point possible consistent with perfect security. What is wanted is not big dividends" but insurance at as low cost as possible. Stock companies do- ing business on the mutual plan" should in all cases be under the con- trol of the policyholders. If the stock holders wish to retain full control. let them consistently restrict their busi- ! ness to, their stock rates, and thereby be consistent.
 The question of salary or compensa- tion should in no case be left to the | managers themselves to settle experi- ] ence shows that they cannot be trust l ed. That important matter should be

They will so rejoice this year. and the first chance they will have will oe on Thursday of this week, when the annual appeal in behalf Of tae New Haven Orphan Asylum will be made This appeal will. of course, be nobly responded to, and the orphans will be kept as ia; and happy as us- ual this winter. As there is no danger of their becoming any too fat or too happy, let no one restrain generosity because of the fear that there is.
