gang found a portion of the south
bound railroad track, which was re-
Gently laid between Cheswold and Do
yer twisting out of shape under the
high pressure of last Monday and
therefore dangerous for train service.
Warning was at once sent out so that
trains for time were thrown off their
schedule time for a time in conse-
quence. 1t was found that few of
the rails were laid too close so that ex-
pansion from heat forced them out of
line.

One of our lady visitors fresh from
-thercity, accompanied by the lady with
whom she is visiting walked from
Clayton to Cheswold last week. 1t
appears that before she left the city
her physician prescribed as a good
treatment, a walk of several miles a
day and declared it would be beneficial
to her health. With this in view they
walked to Brenford with the intention
there of taking the train, but before
they arrived at their destination the
train passed them on the way leaving
them to wait until evening or walk the
remainder of the way. They chose the
latter. Next time it is said they will
disregard the Doctors treatment an d
ride both ways.

Mr.. Bryan--An appropriation less

was made.

that a colored man showing symptoms

city medical authorities he held that
the man should not be charge upon
the city and related instances of the
heavy expenses the city had previously
borne in similar cases. II was the

As NOTHING succeeds like success 80,
conversely, nothing tails like failure, and
this is the case of the Interborough rail-
way strike in New York. 1t seems that
the five thousand employees of the road,
who were under contract with the COM
pany had no just grounds whatever for a
strike but did so just to strike. They
had not the sympathy of the COM
munity with them at any time and
soon it was discovered, but too late, that
those who ordered the strike were ire
sponsible persons and that the order was
without proper authority. The men
have, 50 far as large majority of the
strikers are concerned, deprived them
selves of employment on New York rail-
roads, and their action has been repudi-
atsd by both national organizations of
which the striking unions were constitu-
ents. One organization has gone to the
extent of revoking the charter OF its
New York branch, and new President
Gompers, of the American Federation
OF Labor, announces that he will inves-
tigate charges that the subway strike
had been bought and sold.

The Mormon Menace.

Senator Fred T. Dubois. of Idaho,
talked to the Mothers Congress last night
on ''The Purity of the Home" His
speech was chiefly a historical review Of
Mormonism in the United States and a
severe arraignment of the doctrines and
practices OF the Mormon organization.
He declared with emphasis that there
should be no liberation of the present
teachings and practices Of the Mormon
hierarchy, and in suggesting a remedy
said:
at is the duty of the United Estates
Senate so to net on the case Of Senator
Apostle Reed Smoot as to serve notice on
the pOlygameus head of this church and
his apostles that they must live within
the law that the nation is supreme that
the institutions ofthis country must pre-
vail throughout the land and, second,
there should be an amendment to cur
Constitution wide enough in its scope to
place plural marriage and political con-
troll by the church entirely out of the
realm of possibility"
Senator Dubois declared that Mormon.
ism is the greatest single menace which
confronts US as a people. POlygamy, be
said, was practiced by Joseph Smith as
early as l84l, as command from God,
and it has been practiced from that day
to this in defiance Of all law.
Then the Senator continued "The
President of tho Mormon Church and
more than one-half of the apostles are
openly living in polygamy today, and
the testimony taken before the commit
tee shows that several of the apostles have
entered into polygamous marriages since
the issuance of the manifesto. 1t is known
that new polygamous marriages are be-
ing constantly entered into"

ADMINISTRATION Senators, ioreseelng
the probable defeat Of the San Domingo
treaty. are trying to put the best face
nossible on the matter for The President
by suggesting it would be just as well
this country should not enter into any
arrangement with the Dominican re-
public until a committee OF Senators
has had an opportunity of visiting the
island and studying the situation there.
This incidentally would also be nice
iunketing trip all at the governments
peuse. As it appears impossible for the
administration to drum up enough votes
to ratify the treaty, which mast there
fore fail unless it is withdrawn from the
Senate before a vote is taken on it, the
scheme of a senatorial visit to San
Domingo is perhaps the best way out
of the humiliating dilemma of tae adj
ministratiOn, although Ia the end
the effect will be to emphasize the
senatorial preponderance in treaty
making and to lower the prestige Of the
President ia the matter OF directing
foreign relations. If the scheme Of
a senatorial investigation in Santo
Domingo is carried out, whatever final
arrangement is made with the island
republic, or if no arrangement at all is
made. the outcome will make the policy
tursued the Senate's and not that OF the
President. That the outlook for the
treaty is practically hopeless is admitted
by Senator who ought to be better
informed Oh the situation than any
other. He admits that the friends OF
the treaty have been unable to secure
promises of support from enough demo-
Gratis to insure the ratification and that
therefore hope has been practically
abandoned.
