TURBINE STEAMER
YALE LAUNCHED

CHESTER, Pa, Dec. The Yale. the
second ocean-going turbine steamship

at Roach's shipyard In this city today.
The steamer was christened by Miss

the stocks at the shipyard and will be
launched soon.
The general dimensions OF the two
steamers are: Length 407 feet, breadth
over guards So feet. draft water, loaded,
Is feet; motive capacity 10000 horse
power. They will accommodate 500
passengers each and 500 tons of ex-
press freight.
The Yale and Harvard are OF steel

Ing divided into many compartments
by water-tight bulkheads and double
bottom They are designed 10 make

INCREASED WEALTH IN CORN

The Government has found upon fur
Their investigation that the corn crop of
the United States this year is 2.SS1.096,-
900 bushels. 1t was predicted earlier in
the year by private Investigators and
indicated by Government tables of av-
erages covering conditions that 1906
would bring to the country a produce
ton of the yellow cereal great beyond
anything before known. Last years
outturn was record yield to that
time, but 1906 has overtopped it by
close to It's, 900, 900 bushels. Thus in
this one crop there has been a produce
ton of new wealth that may be set
down as approximating $7o.000,000, and
this most important promise for con-
tinued activity and prosperity has ma
terialized in full.-Minneapolis Journal.

The so-called republican machine got

honorable a gentleman as Rev. Mr..

Rev. Mr.. Ludden it played horse" at
a rate that would have put to shame a

with grain of sense could see through
the scheme, and it is surprising that
Rev. Mr.. Ludden allowed himself to
be used. He is too good man to
shelve in any such a position.
DR.. Winnett has bobbed up for about
everything in the shape of an office
that has been mentioned. 1t was really
funny to see the so-called "anti-rail-

Journal supporting him as the afore-
said street stealing was for the benefit

The Wageworker is opposed to DR..
Winnett for several reasons. In the
first place, he is not fitted by educa-
ton or experience for the position Of
railroad commissioner He knows no
more about rate making and tariff
sheet construction than "scab'' car
penter knows about gothic architecture.
But, above all this, The Wageworker
is against him because he is not
friend of organized labor, and by his
words and actions has antagonized the
workingmen who have made Lincoln
great and DR.. Winnett prosperous.
At this minute he is engaged in
building himself fine residence and
it is being built by a VIGOROUSLY I'M
fair contractor who employs "scab' la
Dor in preference to union labor. DR..
Winnett's attention was called to this,
but he calmly remarked that he had
nothing to do with it, and that it
didn't matter to him whether a man
was union workman or not.
DR.. Winnett does not deserve the
vote of a single loyal union man, and
if they vote in their own interests
they will return majority against
him at the fall election, provided, of
course, he can secure the nomination.

LABOR IN POLITICS.

Elsewhere in this issue appears
. dispatch under Washington date

waukee Sentinel by the Washington
correspondent, Mr.. Arthur J. Dodge.
A careful perusal of the dispatch will
reveal the fact that the political lead
ers are becoming thoroughly frightened
at the prospect of organized labor get
ting into politics. OF course the polit-
ical leaders think that "organized labor
is making a mistake that will be fatal
tn the interests of union labor by
mixing up in politics" And, of course,
the political leaders will now become
extremely busy among union men, tell
ing them to stand by the party" and
advising them to not endanger their
labor organizations by allowing poll
tics to get into the unions. If there
is anything that political bosses fear
it is a concerted movement on the part
of organized labor to throw off party
ties and begin voting for self-interest.
Every scheme, every lie, every influ-
ence that can be brought to bear will
be brought to bear by the politicians
to keep the labor vote divided on
party lines. AS long as that can be
done the grafters and the schemers
