Judge Beer By
 It's True Mcrih
Progressive Men and Women Consider
 Ita Means to National Temperance.

We have recently published q num- ber of articles on the food value of beer. and we believe that sooner or later beer will be recognized at its true worth. as a food beverage of splendid tonic effect and high nourishing value- are already alive to the situation and besides Miss Phoebe Cousins and pr. Joseph Feisler of Northwestern Unf- versity. many others of note give their endorsement to beer as a means to na- tionai temperance.
 Miss Cousins. for a quarter of a cen- tury the most eminent woman suf- frage advocate in the West. said in Q recent interview: There never will be law that will compel prohibition. and the sensible thing for the Women.s 5 Christian Temperance Union to do Is to aid in the substitution of mild. nourishfng drinks like beer. which sel- dom produces drunkenness. A promi- nent army officer who served in the Southwest. operated canteens at three so acceptable to the soldiers, who found beer satisfying their demands. that he actually ran all the low dives of the. surrounding neighborhood out of business"
 Pabst Beer meets all the demands age such as Miss Cousins suggests. It is made of the exclusive Pabst eight day malt. choicest hops and pure water. Eight-d2y malt, which is the only perfect malt. gives Pabst Beer it's superior food value and richness. quires. it is refreshing and satisfying.
 Perfect in age, purity and strength. absolutely clean and containing only three and one half per cent of alcohol. Pabst Beer is the ideal temperance beverage No other is so healthful.

upon Chinese labor. IL certainly ought to be unnecessary to poiat out that the American workingman in the United States has no concern what ever in the question as to whether the rough work on the isthmus, which is performed by aliens in any event. is done by aliens from one country with black skin or by aliens from another country with a yellow skin. Our business is to dig the canal as efficiently and as quickly as possible; provided always that nothing Is done that is inhumane to any laborers, and nothing that interferes with the wages or lowers the standard of living of our own wcrkmen. Having in view this principle, I have arranged to try sev- eral thousand Chinese laborers. This is desirable both because we must try to find out what laborers are most efficient. and. furthermore, because we should not leave ourselves at the mercy of any one type of foreign la- bor At present the great bulk of the unskilled labor on the isthmus Is done by West India negroes, chiefly from Jamaica. Barbadoes, and the other English possfssions. One Of the governors of the lands in question has shown an unfriendly disposition to our work. and has thrown obstacles in the way of our getting the labor needed: and it is highly undesirable to give any outsiders the impression. however ill-founded. that they are in dispensable and can dictate terms to us

 Food supplIes--A Thirty-cent Meal.
 The housewives purchase their sup plies directly. or through their hus- the commission. All to whom spoke agreed that the supplies were excellent, and all but two stated that there was no complaint to be made: these two complained that the prices were excessive as eomparel to the prices in the States. On investiga- ton I did not feel that this complaint was well founded The married men ate at home. The unmarried men sometimes ate at private boarding houses. or private messes, but more often, judging by the answers of those whom questioned. at the government canteens or hotels. where the meal costs so cents to each employe. This 30-cent meal struck me as being as good a meal as we get in the United States at the ordinary hotel in which a 50-cent meal is provided. Three fourths of the men whom l ques- toned stated that the meals fur nished at these government hotels were good, the remaining one-fourth that they were not good. l myself took dinner at the La Boca govern ment hotel. no warning whatever hay ing been given of my coming. There were two rooms. as generally in these hotels. In one the employees were allowed to dine without their coats. while in the other they had to put them on.

 Care Of Employees.
 
 Next in importance to the problem Of saritstien. and indeed now of equal imDcrtance is the problem of secnr- iag and caring for the mechanics, la ohrers and other employees who actu- .ily do the work on the canal and railroad This great task has been unser the control of MT. Jackson Smith. and on the whole has been well done. Al present there are some e.o0o white employees and some 19,0oo cciorei eInployes on the isthmus- ! went over the different places where the ssffe-ent lind cf employees were working. I think I saw representa- lives of every type both al their work and in their homes; and I conversed with probably q couple of hundred or them all told. choosing them at ran dom from every class Gad including those who came especially to present certain grievances. I found that those who did not come specifically to present grievances almost invariably expressed far greater content and sat isfaction with the conditions than did those who called to make complaint.
 Quarters Good and Satisfactory.
 The white Americans are employed, some of them in office work. bus the great majority in handling the great steam shovelss as engineers and con ductors on the dirt trains. as machia- ists in th egreai repair shops, as car penters and time-keepers, superinten- dents. and foremen Of divisions and of gangs, and so on. Many of them have brought down their wives and families; and the children when not in school are running about and be having precisely as the American small boy and small girl behave al home.

{. {, SEMLlNG CRUSHED BY CARS
Attempts to Cross Track Near Fatal Fifth Street Gfossna
and is Terribly Mangled by Freight Train
:..Died Early This Morning

Another dreadful casualty occurred
by reason of the blocking of the Fifth
avenue crossing of the N. P. at about
$50 last evening, though it would ap-
pear the railroad company is in no
way to blame for the distressing ac-
cident.
E. E. Semling, the clothing mer-
chant, was the victim. No one saw
the accident, but circumstances point
to the following theory of how it oc-
Cured:
The local freight was shifting cars
on the freight house siding and
necessarily blocked the Fifth street
crossing more or less. Mr.. Semling
was on his way home for supper with
a large bag of apples and probably
noting the crossing was blocked at;
tempted to- get on the south side of
the strack by crossing in front of the
depot and climbing up over the
freight platform. A brakeman saw
him pass across the track just as. a
string of cars were being pushed west
over the crossing alongside the freight
house. These cars were placed and
we're being opened by the train crew
when the conductor heard groans. An
Investigation revealed the body of Mr..
Semling lying on the ground between
the cars and the edge of the freight
platform, which is about five feet
above the ground.
It is supposed Mr.. Semling placed
his bag of apples on the platform and
was in the act of pulling himself up
when the cars struck him, knocking
his hat off on the platform. He was
thrown to the ground and the wheels
passed over his right ,eg below the
knee and over his left toes. Three
ribs were also broken and his skull
was crushed. He had probably lain
there in an unconscious condition
from ave to ten minutes before being
discovered and LOST considerable.

| Mr. Semling came to this city in
the year 1880 or thereabouts, and for
a time worked in the barber shop Of
Ed. Brunsman. He then became clerk
in the Grand Pacific hotel, after which
he went to work as a clerk in the
clothing store of Aleck Fromme In
1898 he formed a partnership with
Walfred Hoover, later buying out the
latter's interest. He was member
OF the Knights Of Pythias/ order in
which he was one of the most priced
members. He was also a member of
the Yeomen, the Ancient Order of
United Workmen and the Odd Eel
lows, and will probably be buried un-
der the joint auspices Of those orders.
His remains will lie in state in the
lodge room OF the Knights of Pythias
from this evening until the time for
the funeral, which will be held Friday
afternoon at o'clock at the Metho-
dist church. He was 4s years old and
leaves three children, two boys and
girl, his wife having died about five
years ago. - s5l,
In all his wide circle of aequaint-
ances Mr.. Semling was highly
esteemed. Of quiet disposition, he
was, withal, exceedingly genial He
was a painstahing man in all that he
undertook and thorough and upright
in all his dealings. 1t is with sincere
regret the people of the city accept
reluctantly the fact of his untimely
death. G#S853
