RIPLEY FAVORS SLOWER TRAINS

A Chicago dispatch says: Presi-
dent Ripley of the Santa Pc system
has proposed to the executive officers.
of other transcontinental lines, that
they enter into an agreement to
lengthen the time of all important
passenger trains between Chicago and

About a month ago, in the hope or
wrestling from the Rock Island and
Southern Pacific roads a valuable con-
tract for carrying the United States
mails to southern California, the Santa
Fe management put the California
limited train on a schedule of sixty

Are You Engaged?

Engaged people should remember, that, after marriage, many quarrels can be avoided, by keeping their digestions in good condition with Electric Bitters. x. A. Brown, of Bennettsville, $. C., says: "For years, my wife suffered in- tensely from dyspepsia, complicated with a torpid liver, until she lost her strength and vIgor, and became a mere wreck of her former self. Then she tried Electric Bitters, which helped her at once, and finally made her entirely well. She is now strong and healthy" All druggis aells and guarantees them at soc a b,

A Wholesome Desire

A Wholesome Desire
 This is repeatedly asked, "what do ybu Socialists want, any way"
 To put the answer in its most simple fbrm, we want the workers to have the equal of the full product of their labor. Is there anything unreasonable in this demand? If the worker is not to have the equivalent of all he produces, who, pray tell us, is entitled to portion of lit, and by what right does anyone come to claim portion of your product, Mir. Workingman; and if you are quite sure that what you work to produce you alone should govern the disposition of, don'l you think that the other working man should in the same manner govern ''his" product after the first and bottom demand is made.
 "That the worker is entitled to his product" there are several subsidiary demands which will all follow as a matter of course when once the main demand is secured.
 We want opportunity to work at all times with the best equipment that modern science has produced So as to bring the product up to the maximum and reduce the hours of labor to the minimum.
 We want the children of man to be born we'll which condition cannot obtain as long as the children who are soon to parent the race are enslaved as at present, nor so long as the mothers of the race must drag out a miserable, tired existence while they perform the duties of motherhood.
 We want the very hillsides to ring with the many peals of childish laughter so that the mighty grOan of the race may cease and be heard no more.
 Yes. we want leasure that we may teach our ears to love music, our eyes to see beauty and our hands to clear up the filth of the earth so that at least an agreeable aroma may rise and present itself to our nostris. We want books and flowers and music and associates and time in which to enjoy them.
 We want to travel so We may at least lose our clanishness and become truly conscious of race life with common hopes, fears and desires. We want life, more lie; and who pray tell us shall there I've C,.iming right to gain say it to the holiest man.
 If you think the Socialists desires are wicked or bad get out into the open and proclaim it and tell us the reason why they are so.
 On the other hand if you believe the things they want are right, get into the open air and proclaim it. Tell the world over and over and over again until at last they harken and join with you to banish thls criminal thing we call capitalism and establish a sane and just system for the production and distribution of wealth.

EXTRAORDINARY PROCE-
DURE FROM A CIVIL CASE
Action Lodged Growing Out of Process
to Collect Bill for Medical
Services.

Another remarkable proceeding was
started this afternoon. when in Justice
Johnson's court. Jerry Mccarthy, with
John Looney as attorney, brought an
action against DR.. j. X. Hollowbush,
charging the physician with perjury.
The case grows out of an account for
medical services held by the old firm
If Barth q Hollowbush, the claim hav-
ing been lodged some time since with
Justice H. c. Haverfield for collection.
The ground that is seized for the ex-
traordinary charge is the allegation set
forth in the papers in the civil proceed
.ng that Mccarthy was not resident
of Illinois. The case was continued.

have been made TO the chief of ord
nance urging that the system be abol-
ished. he has ruled its enforcement
should be continued, and this ruling in
the nature of orders has been communi-
Gated TO me.
In fact no other course as far as this
arsenal was concerned was open to the
chief of ordnance as long as the regu-
Iations approved by his superior the
secretary of war. continued effective.
To secure abrogation of piece work
at this arsenal, the proper method of
procedure. instead of unjustiy and Vn-
fairly condemning its shops as sweat
shops" is 10 convince the secretary of
war of the wisdom of abolishing the
system throughout the engineer depart
ment. the ordnance department. the
quartermaster's department, and any
other branches of the army under his
administration where it may now be
followed: it would then stop at this ar
senal necessarily but until the present
regulations are modified just as neces-
sarily must it continue in the future as
it has for nearly 80 years in the past.
Source of Regret.
With my pride in the arsenal and
my interest in its prosperity and in
that of the tri-cities induced by a resi-
dence of some years in their midst. the
disapproval occasionally expressed by
some of my administration, even
though l fully believe it TO be unmerit
ed. is a source of poignant regret; but
the service of any commandant is only
ephemeral and his personal feelings in
such a matter of no earthly Importance
in comparison with the vastly greater
injuries to the arsenal caused by d
widely spread condemnation, whether
Il be of its shop buildings. or of theii
operation.
Such a condemnation. when private
factories and large corporations are
reaching out for government contracts,
places another powerful weapon in the
hands of those advocating private in
stead of government work and may
carry still further the reductions al
ready brought about in the arsena
force by the diversion to private es
Establishments of orders that would, if
