Bills GRAY Colt.

Bill Langan has a steel gray colt that
he believes is threatened with speed.
Next thing Bill will buy sulky, and
drive the colt around the racetrack every
Sunday morning. Then he will hire u
man to train the colt at the track.
Then he will enter it at races, and lose
his money. Then he will throw away the
Knee pads, and hitch the colt to the gro
Gerry wagon with mule, where he be-
longs. The colt has been pampered so
much that it is already necessary to drive
him with a kicking strap.-Atchison

POVERTY AND PLENTY.

Alfred Russell Wallace, the great
English scientist, who shares with
Darwin the discovery Of the principle
Of evolutions, says: 1.-The browning dis
grace is that with a hundred fold in
crease in our powers Of wealth, produce
ton adequate to supply every rational
want Of our whole population many
times over, we have only succeeded in
adding enormously to individual
wealth and luxury, while the workers
are on an average as deeply sunk in
poverty and misery as before" Capt.
tai and labor are said to be partners
and should be firm friends, but when
a machine is invented to displace labor.
the capitalists forget all about that
partnership business and turn the
workers adrift without even a. word
of regret. The use of machinery has
increased production hundredfold.
but the owners reap all the benefits
and they also. with manifest injustice,
have secured all land and what it
yields. Thus we have the contrast Of
immense fortunes and the most bitter
poverty and suffering.

A JAPANsEs TRICK WORTH
LEARNING.

The cheerful apprehension that it
will be impossible to dig the Panama
Canal without fearful loss Of life
through malarial fevers, smallpox, yell
low fever and other plaques suggest
that If our own health forces feel
this way, about 1t it might be wise
thing to let the sanitary part Of the
contract to Japan, which has now a
real medical corps that will soon be
out Of job.
The little brown doctors who were
able to smash the military axiom tina:
four men would die of disease to every
one killed by the enemy, might BE-
equally able to lay the spectre that
demands human life for every roll OF
the canal route. The old formula U1
mortality down there was a man for
every tie in the railroad, but even the
Occidental plague fighters have pro-
crossed since that time
The japanese fought one Of the
greatest wprs Of modern times, with
larger armies than we employed
against the South, amid extremes of
climate, and they did it without letting
a single epidemic get Roadway among
their massed half million soldiers. They
kept the disease statistics almost to
the point they are in peace times, and
instead Of losing four men in five of the
total Of mortality by sickness they lost
only one in six.
If it is possible to make record like
this in a war it ought to be a very
much less serious problem to match
it in effectiveness in conducting work
unhampered by hostile army and I'M
hurried by the exigencies Of a cam
paign.

The REBATE Is NOT THE ONLY
RAILROAD ABUSE.

The organs devoted to the. cause OF
tho railroad combines announce that
the finding Of four Beet Trust Officials
ia conclusive proof that no further
railroad or rate legislation is required
to protect the public from extortion
and discrimination.
This is in itself pretty good evidence
that such is not the case.
Because four men have pleaded
guilty under statute twenty years OLD
it does not follow that in that law
resides enough to save the ordinary
citizen from the rapacity Of railroad
conspiracy.
AS a matter of fact the rebate, while
perhaps the most villanous, and GER
tainly the meanest, Of railroad abuses,
is by no means the only method by
which the railways and their allies
defraud the consumer and destroy the
man outside the Doodle junta. We do
not have to look further than the case
of the robber Coal Trust to prove this.
The railroads which illegally hold and
operate the coal fields agree on rate
so high that the independent operators
can make no greater profit sending
their product to market than by sell
ing to the railroads at their own fig
ures Indeed, the rate, approximately
two-thirds Of the tidewater price, IS
designed particularly to guard against
competition.
The Coal Trust is only one instance
of this sort Of thing. With variations
it appears in the case Of half dozen
other conspicuous industries, and it is
in itself the very best argument for 2
law empowering the Interstate Com
merce Commission to fix rates and to
enforce it's DEGREES. The imposition OF
a comparatively trifling fine in Chicago
is not going to make any real differ
ence in the beef iniquities. -
Had these fines been Jail sentences,
the packers, who squeeze the stock
grower with one hand and the con-
sumner with the other, might have ser1-
ously considered the ACCESSIBILITY OF
obeying the law. AS it is they Will
merely charge the fines to the people
who have to buy meat and trust to
luck and the kindness Of an Attorney
General for the future.
Even conceding that the Rebate law
is capable of being made effective, it
rests with a single officer the AttOr-
neyGeneral, to invoke it, and it covers
only one corner of the vicious system
Of railroad abuses.

OF EXTREME. POVERTY
Robert Hunter Shows the Daily
Plight of the Poor in Rich
America.

One day visited the family of a
man who had been Frustrated by heat
while at work with a street paving
gang. They We're q family OF seven,
living in q two-room apartment of a
rear tenement. The day was in Aug
ust and the sun beat down uninter-
mittently and without mercy. The
husband had been brought home a
few hours before. The wife, in a dis
tracted but skillful way found path
ways among the clamoring children.
The air was steamy with a half-fn-
ished washing, and remnants of the
last meal were still upon the table.
A crying baby and the sick husband
occupied the only bed. I had known
before of five people sleeping in one
bed; but learned here that the father
and Oldest child usually slept on the
floor. AS watched the woman on
that day I understood a little Of what
1t meant to live in such contracted
quarters. To cook and wash for sew
en-, to nurse crying baby broken out
with heat, and to care for delirious
husband, to arrange a possible sleep
ing place for seven-to do all these

an alley tremulous with odors and
swarming with flies from the garbage
and manure boxes, was something to
tax the patience and strength of a
Titan.
In this instance the man had brok-
down and sickness Is most serious
when it attacks the bread-winner Of
working class family. The sickness
Of wife or child is far less terrifying.
However painful the disease or dis
tressing the consequences, the family
peace OF mind Is not shattered by
fear and dread Of want. The man is
not kept from his work. and his earn
ings, made more necessary by the
sickness. may still supply the family's
needs. The diseases which kill or I'M
dermine the health of the adults, es-
pecially the man, are the ones which
strike terror to the heart Of working
class families. Those which almost
invariably cause death-such as can
Ger, pthisis, Brights disease, diabetes
AS we'll as those which permanently
incapac1tate a workman-sucha as apo
plexy, paralysis, etc.-the many acct
dents in industry which cripple the
body. and the diseases arising from
certain dangerous trades, which perm
anently undermine the health, are the
forms Of sickness which generally
mean for wage-earning families pow
erty and often pauperism. Such dis
eases affect the welfare of the whole
family. They stop all earnings unless
the wife Is able, or one Of the children
old enough, to become a wage Garner.
Sickness assumes a new and more ter
rible meaning when one realizes that
the mass Of wage-earning families are
pathetical1y dependent upon some one

the poor knows with what grim deter
mination half-sickc ,workmen labor I'M

GLOOMY OUTLOOK,

A Missouri Judge has Endorsed the
decree of the Cook county judiciary
permitting a wife to go through her
husbands pockets while he is <wectly
dreaming the happy hours away. This
opinion has been defended also by
some of the ablest members Of the
Chicago Woman's club, and up to the
present time no married man has been
found with spunk enough to contest
1t. What the wife will dc If she finds
hole in the pocket instead Of money
depends measurably on the nature of
the woman. There is no telling to
what extre,nities the man will be push
