RAILROADS WANT $4,000 MEN.
Complain that Scarcity of Labor
Hampers Big Projects in West.

Chicago, Nov. 4-Inability to find Ia
borers IS hampering the railroads all
over the West in carrying out contem-
plated Improvements. At least 5000 men
are wanted. railroad managers say. with
practically none in the market, despite
the fact that the railroads are willing
10 furnish transportation and, in some
cases. 10 pay as high as $3.50 daily. Here
are q few OF the systems in the market
for help:
Northern Paiifc, 5000 men.
Chicago, Milwaukee d st. Paul, GOO to
1000 men for its extension to the Coast.
Southern Pacific. 6.o09 for its extern
sion northward through California to
Portland.
Chicago and Northwestern, 1000 to 5000
men.
North Coast Line. large force fer road
from Waila Walla TO Seattle
In addition to new construction, nearly
every Western road Is double-tracking
building cut-offs. and similar improve
ments. The Northern Pacific wants to
oouble-track its Washington main line in
time for the heavy fall and winter traf-
/ hc, but failed, through lack of labor, with
the result that II has 1900 loaded cars
on its side tracks for lack of main line
facilities.
Texas, where more railroad building is
being done than anywhere else in the
West, is not complaining SO bitterly, be-
cause, railroad men think. laborers pre-
fer the South to the North during the
winter Even in Texas, however, the
labor supply IS inadequate.

Speeial 70 Tho Tsshington Herald.
Wheeling. w Va, Nov. l-On the eve
OF the election, the campaign In West
Virginia passes into history as the most
apathetic on record, even for of years.
Neither of the parties has been able to
arouse the rank and fle as IN former
years. and the prediction is freely made
that the aggregated vote in the state will
show a falling OF OF from fifteen to TWEEN
ty-fiye per cent
This, 1t IS copcsded, is going TO depre-
ciatc the size of the Republican majority,
but in conservative circles, it is estimated
that the Republicans will retain their
control Of the state, which has not shown
a Democratic majority since 1892
In the First Congressional district W.
P Hubbard VIII win. from 200 % 600
George c. Sturgiss, in the Second, BY
l.5o0 or more; Joseph Games. Republican
in the Third, by SooQ or more; H c
woodward Republican. In the Fourth. by
about ls1o, and James a. Hughes, Re-
publican. in the Fifth, by about 4,0o0, ar
aggregate Republican majority for the
State OF 12.J00 to 1900
Two years ago Roosevelt carried ths
State by over 30.C0Q and Dawson. Re
publican, won the governorship by Over
q.0C0, being cut owing to differences Jr
the tax issue. The legislature-now Re-
publican by over 50 on joint ballot-will
be Republican by a decreased majority,
insuring the return OF Stephen 3. Elk
ms 70 the United States Senate.
The closing hours Of the campaign are
characterized by the usual attacks and
counter attacks on the candidates, but
as usual they count for little or nothing.

settled conditions resulting from the

Irish patriotism, blended with loyary

keynote Of the twelfth anniversary Of
Division No. I, Of the Ancient Order Of
Hibernians. which was celebrated at Red
Mems Halt Georgetown, yesterday af-
ternoon. The hall was crowded with the
members OF No. / and visiting delegates
from other divisions in this city. Bslti-
more. Alexandria, and other nea--by
places.
2. r. Moran occupied the chair. After
the regular business the social session
consisting Of music, singing, speechmak-
ing. and refreshments, was undertaken.
The most important part OF the pro-
gramme was the address OF Prof. John c.
Monaghan. Of the Department OF Com
merce and Labor. Prof Monaghan spoke
on education.
Ny idea Of education Is simple. Il IS
this, Baby boy, and man, We are ami
mails We must eat, be clothed. kept
sheltered, and kept warm. Take good
care OF the physical Never trot your boy
or girl out to show him OF her OF II
you DO. you injure them both physically
and mentally.
In regard 10 the intellectual. il is stupid
and a stupendous blunder 10 urge that
4 II is necessary to 60 through school.
college. or university TO get an educa-
ton. The great Greek thinkers never had
a Harvard TO go 10. The best school
is the school Of life.
An educational wave is sweeping over
the world. II IS washing the shores. not
only Of Ireland. the homeland, but Of all
parts Of the world. Take advantage Of
the opportunities with which this great
country teens. Educate yourself.
"A new alignment OF the nations is
being made England IS joining hands
with France. her hereditary enemy. Italy
is In the alliance. That means a move
ment Of Austria, Germany. and Russia
toward another alliance. Some are silly
enough 10 suggest that wc join the
ItaIian-F French bund
The purposes Of our people are for
peace. The policy Of a hundred years
has been friendship toward all, alliance
with none. Any departure from It. direct
or indirect. is fraught with danger. Set
you your faces against it.
If any alliance is favored let II be
with the empire whose word has always
been its bond, with the empire linked to
ours by the millions who have made their
homes in our midst, the Germans"
Prof. Monaghan closed his address with
the admonition that There Is a way for
Us, for you. for our racs, TO make good
it is by using the marvellous physical,
moral, intellectual, and esthetic inher-
itance Of the race, the marvellous oppor-
tunities offered by education. 'Wer die

GIBBONS WANTS PURE BALLOT
Cardinal Delivers Election Sermon
in Baltimore Cathedral.
Says Man Cannot Violate states Law
without Breaking DecaIOgue-ob-
legations of Citizens and Officers.

Baltimore, Nov. 4-Cardinsl Gibbons
made his sermon this morning at the
Cathedral largely an election discourse
He said in part:
Order is heavens FIRST law. No man
can he a good Christian who sets az de-
fiance the laws OF the Commonwealth.
The man that breaks the law Of the
State is violating at the same time some
commandment Of the DecalogUe. The citi-
zen who buys or sells votes, who Creeps
into political power by intrigue and brib-
cry, is 8 thief and is transgressing the
commandment which says, Thou shalt
not steal
The moral condition Of the State IS
what we ourselves make il Il IS our
creation, as the State is composed Of
units Of citizens. Tie destiny Of the
Commonwealth under God is in our own
hands.
-but while it IS clear that the private
citizen is bound to respect and honor the
civil magistrate. it is equally clear. espe-
cialIy under a constitutional government
like ours. that the citizen has an IN
doubted right to criticise the official con-
due; OF public funcuonaries. a calm,
temperate, and dispassionate judgment
passed upon the Official acts Of those IN
authority serves a wise and useful pur-
pose Il admonishes the servants Of the
.aw OF their faults. their shortcomings
and delinquencies, and affords them an
opportunity of correcting their mistakes.
l. also reminds hem cf what protract-
ed term Of office tempis them 20 forget
hat they are the servants, and not the
masters, OF their constituents
1T is true. indeed, that no man has an
inherent and iuboTn right over another.
Neither President nor governor nor
mayor. nor magistrate has any prerosa-
tive 10 command unless authority is given
70 him by higher power, but 1t is merely
because the magistrate has authority
from God he has the right 10 command
our obedience
I am far from extenuating or defend
ing the abuses existing in our system Of
popular elections I am upholding only
the principle Of authority. No one can
deplore the abuses Of power more than
/ do. but absolute perfection can never be
found in human affairs No government
ever existed since the formation Of society
to the present time in which some abuse
Of power did not exist, and Il viii be so
10 the end OF time.
"a candidates election is not deter
mined by his personal mental or moral
requirements. but either by the suffrages
Of the people or by the choice Of his
sUpeTiors.
'One Of the greatest social Ealadies Of
our time is a lack Of reverence for those
in authority. This is true on the part Of
the children toward parents, OF citizens
toward magistrates, and sometimes even
Of Christians toward the Lord auointed."
