Liberal Pigments to Old or plsabIsd
Employees.

The following details OF the pension
scheme adopted by the Atchison, To
peka and Santa Fe railroad system
are given in a statement issued BY
the general passenger agent:
"The pension system the company
has devised 10 one of the most liberal
in existence. No additional restric-
tions are placed on the employment OF
new men and no employe will be arbi.
trarily retired because he has reached
the age Of sixty-fve or seventy years.
Employees will be retained in the serv-
ice as long as they are able to perform
their duties satisfactorily. For those
who are weakened by reason OF age or
accident the company will endeavor to
find some new duty that Is less ardu-
Gus and exacting than that at which
they were originally employed. Re-
tirement will be for incapacity alone.
and the board OF pensions, of which
George G. Tunell Is the secretary, Will
have full power to decide when man
is incapacitated.
"The Santa Fe plan distinguishes
between men who have received small
salaries and those who have been reg
ularly paid larger amounts. The man.
agement of road realizes that small
Ihtu HoI tht opportunity
to lay aside as much money as those
who are better paid and the pension
board will keep this fact in view when
1t awards pensions.
Twenty dollars a month will be the
smallest pension given any pensioner.
Exceptionally long and efficient serv-
ice will result in the pensioner receiv-
ing twenty-five per cent. increase OF
, the regular allowance. The basis for
the amount of the pension is fixed on
the highest salary a pensioner has re-
ceived during his connection with the
road. Fifteen years actual service will
entitle an employe to a pension as a
result of old age. Employees incapaci-
tated as n result of an accident will be
I pensioned regardless OF the length OF
service.
"All employees whose highest aver.
! age wage was $50 or less month will
/ be given pension equal to one and
| one-fourth per cent. of his wage for
| each year OF service. An employe who
has been in the service thirty-eight
| years at an average wage OF s45 would
receive s2l39. The amount of pen.
sions for better paid men Is deter
mined in a similar manner, but a man
| whose wages exceeded $50 will only
get one and one-fourth per cent on tho
first $50 OF his salary and three-fourths
| per cent. on the remainder. The high
est pension will not exceed S75 a
month.

George took his fathers simulated
anger in real earnest and seemed
greatly disturbed by the turn affairs

about the valentine. After the meal
he followed his mother into the

much toward checking and correcting
this growing evil, by liberal advertis-
Ing and publishing prices. they should
newspaper should preach home trade.
every teacher should instil 1t into his
pupils in the school room, every min
lister should preach 1t from the pull
pit. The debating societies and po-
litical conventions should discuss 1t.
The interests of town and country
and newspaper and church, and So
ciety gen3rally. are so interviewer and
so identical that whatever Injuries one
will eventually injure all. When the
merchants are compelled to bring on
smaller stocks. and employ less help.
and pay cheaper rent, they are not
alone the sufferers; the whole COM
munity feels the loss. The price OF
real estate is largely dependent on Its
proximity to good town. Rents are
dependent on the amount OF business.
The merchant can move to some other
town and establish himself again more
readily than can the professional man
and many others who have built up
business through years of acquaint-
anceship and establishment OF char
acter. II the farmer, or property own
er in town, want to sell out they are
the greatest sufferers-they can't
move their property to some place
where people are booming their town
and country by patronizing home.
The remedy lies in education apd
publicity. In many places that edu-
cation will come through bitter ex-
perience, but. in other communities,
where they are quicker to detect the
approaching evil, and heed more read
ily the warnings Of the press and
friends OF home. they may correct the
evil more readily.
Wealth and power are corrupting
Influences and the mail order houses
are probably not sending out as hon
est goods as they once did. They have
learned the tricks of imitation and
substitution and how easy 1t is to
deceive the public. But. II the mail
order man is honest, and his methods
Of advertising legitimate In every way.
his success Is OF no interest to us
and will never benefit our community
In the slightest degree. II crops should
fail or sickness render US short of
money we could not expect him to
trust us for dollar-we must always
look to the home merchant for credit

cost: II they save 25 cents on a ten

gain. They should be shown that a

affairs and is willing to contribute
something toward home improve

sented. That Is why l say the rem
edy lies in education.
Most mail order houses claim they
are enabled to sell cheaper than coun
try dealers because they buy in larger
quantities and get especially low
prices. This is often base mis-.
statement of facts; let me cite an in.
stance: A stock man from eastern
Washington was visiting in Kansas
City. One morning, walking with his
nephew, who was clerk in a lead
ing wholesale hardware house, he
asked where Bland & Co.'S store was
located. Don't think l ever heard OF
them." replied the young man. 20
yes, I do remember the firm; they
have no store. they have an office In
(giving the name OF the building).
but don't see how they can sell hard
ware as low as your home merchants
for while we sell them goods at less
than retail price, we don't gi-e them
as low prices as regular dealers, be.
cause they buy in such small quanti'
ties, Just as they get orders" The
stockman was greatly surprised, he
supposed he had been dealing with
one of the largest firms In the city.
The mail order business has devel,
oped so slowly, and works so quietly
that few persons realize the magni.
tude 1t has assumed nor to what OK.
tent 1t is now sapping the life-blood OF
many small cities and towns. Even
now we hear the excuse given for
sending away for goods, that the NOR
chants carry such poor stocks. The
wonder is that they carry any.
