$4,000 Men Needed.

Vermont is not the only section of the
country threatened with labor famine;
western railroads need 5000 men in the
northwestern and southwestern States
to build the roads that are already under
way, and it is estimated that before the
first of June more than twice that num-
Der will be required. Railroad contrac-
tors have been able to resume work
earlier this year than usual on account
of the open winter, and they are making
strenuous efforts to get men from the
East for this work.
Ten thousand men are needed by the
Western Pacific, the new Gould line to
southern California, and they are offer
ing from 81 to 1925 day for unskilled
labor with the chance Of steady work
until the cold weather sets in again next
fall.

Successful Corporation

In these days of trusts, communities of
interest and other gigantic combinations
of capital, it is refreshing to know that
although only little over three years
old, the United Drug Company a coop
erative concern, better known by their
products the Rexal Remedies, have al.
ready attained fame throughout a whole
continent and the advent of the year
1906 not only finds them still forging
upward and to the front in that an
immense additional laboratory is under
way in building in their Ihome city,
Boston, but also finds them following
Horace Greely's famous admonition "go
West" in that also sub-laboratory and
storage warehouse on gigantic scale,
has just been opened under special aus
pices at 45-47 Randolph ST.. Chicago,
brought about by the call from the people
of the great West saying. "Come out
here and help u.s. so in three years the
United Drug Co. have rightly laid claim
to high place among the manufacturers
of the country and now even more than
ever peiore dttdln 10 pre-eHlnence as
makers and marketers for unique line
of medicines never attempted before.
The United Drug Co. is strictly coop
erative enterprise. The funds for its
starting and the pluck and courage to
push it to so successful an issue have not
been the production of capitalists, but
of the one thousand druggists in the
one thousand towns and cities where the
Remedies are exclusively sold, who had,
and still have, unbounded faith in the
great future Of the United Drug Co. and
Rexall Remedies.-advt.

Once a Year Every Dollar in the
United States Passes THROUGH
Railroads Hands.

Commenting on the gross earning and the
net earning of railroad properties, Mr..
Tillman said that once a year every dollar
IN the United States passes through the
hands of the railroads. and every three years
becomes part of their new earnings. lie
asked ii II is any wonder that the railroads
have the most brilliant legal minds at their
command to conduct legislation, and as
serted the struggle is between man and
money; citizenship and capital. The final
outcome, he stated, will determine whether
the people are capable of self government
and can transmit to posterity the priceless
heritage handed down by our ancestors. He
discussed at length the building of great
fortunes and the manipulations of great
properties. Summing up the situation, he
said;
at is impossible to deny that this great
accumulation of wealth in the hands of the
few is such menace TO liberty that the
honest patriot stands appalled, by the out
look"
After commenting at length upon what he
declared to be the existing system of Jug
Cling with railroad properties "ior the rob
berry of the Masses" Mr.. Tillman stated
that this phase of the subject brings into
great prominence and importance "the re-
lation to Congress of the increase in capital
ization; whether it is the purpose of Con-
gress to compel the business industries to
pay dividends, not upon the real value of
these properties, but on the fictitious value
which has been sought to be placed upon
them by the increased capitalization. Brook

Senator Penrose, of Pennsylvania, pro-
poses to get after the railroads good and
hard. He wants to make every road
liable to its employees for all damages
which may result from the negligence
or Encouragement of any of its officers,
agents or employees or by reason of any
defect or insufficiency in its cars, engines
appliances, machinery, track, roadbed
ways or works and the 'fact that the
employee may have been guilty of con-
trlbutory negligence shall not bar re-
covery where his contributory negligence
was slight in comparison to that of the
employer" Evidently Senator Penrose
has no fear of the pow erful "Pennsy"
system and proposes to inaugurate new
dispensation in Quaker State railroad cir
cles

interesting Statistics.

The official stenographers OF the House of
Representatives have reported so far this
session about 2,775,ooo words, with the
session perhaps little more than half over.
There is busy talking time to come, however
and the full bill will probably be about 6,ooo,-
600 words for the session That is outside of
the committee hearings, which will be more
than half as much additional, so that the
House will have sent to the printing office as
the talk that has been made by or to its men,
bers while al work on the floor or in COM
mittee rooms, approximately 10 900 900 words.
The Senate will easily double that, If it does
not exceed it, although the Senate often sits
only four days week, while the House is
always busy at least five days, and sometimes
sits on Saturday. That will be round total
of 100000 words thus uttered at this ses-
sion. Figured on the basis of the money APP
propriated by the session, these words will
cost the country about S25 each. The
average pay for literary productions is less
than cents word, although extraordinary
cases, like that of Rudyard Kipling or Mark
Twain, command as high as 81 word.

A Good Example of Village Inn
proveme emit.

The hamlet of Samsonville on the railroad
but without a station, midway between North
Enosburg and East Berkshire, affords a good
illustration of what united effort by a small
community will accomplish. There is black
smith shop and saw mill with electric light
station connected which furnishes lights in
the village OF East Berkshire both for streets
and private purposes. This village boasts OF
live "Village Improvement society," which
has rendered these things possible. And now
the contagion has spread and Samsonville's
improvement society, which has heretofore
expended its energy on walks, has turned
towards lights. The poles are already set and
by resort to the usual feminine methods of
socials and dinners, they have secured nearly
enough money to pay rentals for year.

"a Panama Canal scandal crippled
the French nation and marked it with
disgrace of which the stain will be
visible for many a generation The pos
sibility OF such a scandal confronts the
people of the United States and will
confront them for at least a decade.
Yet the United States must build the
canal. 1t is unthinkable that another
nation should dig it and control it. The
Germans, alert to move in, imperturb-
ably slow in moving out. sit in every
South American and Central American
port, waiting, waiting, smilingly placid.

right hands with the British, watch
with cold, oriental eye for the moment
when they may reach out the left hand
and wrest away England's grip on the
commerce of the world. We hold the
Great Key. 1t is not we'll that we
quarrel over it among ourselves"
The above from the April number
of Everybody's Magazine voices the
sentiment of the American people. The
United States is the only logical canal
builder on this side of the globe. We
must build it.

SCHlDLOFSKi is GUILTY.
Verdict of Murder in the First De-
ores AGAINST the Wife SLAYER.

John Schidlofski was found guilty of
murder in the first degree Saturday
afternoon by the jury in the superior
criminal court at East Cambridge, Mass.
He was on trial on the charge of hav-
ing killed his wife, Marciana, on the
grounds of the Arlington Golf club on
Wednesday evening, July 10, 1905.
During the trial Schidlofski appeared
and acted as though he did not realize
that the trial meant life or death to him,
and Saturday when Benjamin F. Nichols
of Woburn, foreman of the Jury. spoke
the dreadful words, Guilty of murder
IN the first degree" was the only time
that Schidlofski showed any emotion.
After hearing these seven words that
meant he was to die in the electric chair,
Schidlofski sat down in his chair in the
cage and trembled like a leaf before a
high wind.

Easter in Europe.

In Munich and Vienna, the churches
on Good Friday are the scene of a very
striking picture of the burial of Christ
A figure of the Saviour Is carried in
state around the church to the altar,
where is sepulcher, to which access,
through an opening formed by artificial
rocks, awaits it. The windows are dark
ened and, through the gloom the eyes
of thousands of awed worshipers are
drawn to the tomb, where a solitary
light illumines the white. palled figure of
the crucified Christ. In some parts of
Austria large professions parade the
Streets headed by priests riding on
horses and bearing banners, with an es-
cort of white-robed choristers chanting
hymns, and in Bavaria the peasants
form professions, hundreds, sometimes
thousands strong, heralded by a man
bearing gigantic candle.

and in imitation of what they consider
to have been one of the severest forms
of Christ's physical suffering. Through

THE Swiss Rule Themselves.

In highly interesting iDstalment of
"Soldiers of the Common Good" In
the April Everybody's, Charles Edward
Russell writes:
"And another strange thing: in Swift
zerland they have no idea they are es-
sentially idiots and must have great men
and superior and divinely gifted intel
lects to rule them and tell them what
to do about their affairs. They do not
think much of ruling in Switzerland,
nor much of the idea of dvinely gifted
intelects. All are great men in Swift
zerland, and one is as great and as
divinely gifted as another. To the
Swiss mind the great men are those
that do something in science or liter
ature, like Agassiz or de Saussure; but
they have no particular fancy to be
ruled by anybody. however great. You
will find many an intelligent Swiss that
cannot tell you the name of the Presi-
dent of Switzerland. He knows the
name of the President of the United
States, always, but he does not know
who is at the head of his own country
Not because the interest he takes in his
political affairs is small, for it is very
great; but because who may be Presi-
dent of Switzerland is not important.
Whoever he is, he amounts to nothing,
he effects nothing, he rules nothing
The only rulers of Switzerland are the
Swiss people"
