FOURTH OF JULY.

Glorious old Fourth. all hail! Your
coming renews the happy days of in
nocent childhood, and restores the
gladstone dongs of patriotic, though
noisy boyhood.
Who will dare say, that; the exuber-
ant spirit of the average American
boy on this day, is anything else than
the outward expression Of the germin-
alton of that patriotism, which in the
maturer years. has been the glory and
pride of our people since our nation
began?
Let the eagle scream long and loud!
Let his voice. on this day of universal
rejoicing, be heard through the length
and breadth Of the land! Let it so
terrify the loathsome reptile Of an
archy, that the detestable thing, shall
never again pop it's venomous head
above our country's horizon.
We have little respect for the kind
energy to give itself expression. In
enthusiastic young America The genu-
and surely older heads can put up
with a little noise and inconvenience
one day In the year, while the younger
heads are celebrating their advent into
1.-The land of the free and the home Of
the brave
Give the boys the freedom of the
day. Direct their energies but don't
repress them. What If they do smell
powder? Their fcrefathers.-yes and
their nearer fathers-did the same,
again and again, before freed dom and
liberty triumpned IN the land.
Let the sedate fogyism which pre-
fers effeminacy to manliness in the
character and conduct of our boys, be
relegated to it's native oblivion, that
.the~rising generation of our country's
defenders, may exercise their royal
prerogatives' un1stubed ard unmo-
lested
For one we are thankful for a day
wherein our boys, and the adults too,
can recall the achievements, and emu
late the spirit. Of those heroes, who
consecrated their lives to the cause Of
freedom, on many hard fought bat
tlefeld from Lexington to the blood
dyed waters of the Brandywine.

C|GARMAKERs START
BANK FOR MEMBERS
Success of Loan Fund in Mime.
apolis Union Leads to Ex-
pansion.
Savings Department is Newest
Scheme Of Progressive
Unionists.

MINNEAPOLIS, July g. - En-
couraged by the success Of the oper-
atoms Of the loan-fund plan which
was established just six months ago,
the Ctgarmakers' Union has decided to
go step further in the way of look
ing after it's membership III g. pecuni-
airy way: When the system Of loaning
money to members was first begun
some misgivings were entertained as
to its success, and some thought it
might work to the detriment Of the
organization. That these fears were
.unwarranted has been shown con-
clusively, and SO we'll pleased are all
concerned that when plan to estab-
fish banking system on a small
scale, to be operated under the. direc-
the union last Thursday evening at the
regular meeting the members were en-
thusiastic over the idea.
For. some time the experiment of OPP
Grating union" banks has been on
trial in a small way. "Shop banks
have been conducted under the super
vision Of members Of the union as in
dtviduals, and the manner in which
the system has worked itself out has
lead it's promoters to induce the Cigar
makers Union to take hold Of the
project, establish fund and do a
banking business on a small scale.
This the union has decided to do and
the board which has had charge Of
the. loan will look after the banking
end of the business. G., Hall, financial
secretary and business representative,
is enthusiastic over the Introduction
Of the savings system, I and has
watched the progress it has made in
the shops in which it has been intro
duced.
1--WE are satisfied that the introduce
ton of the plan Of establishing a saw
ings fund to be operated by the union
will prove all that it's promoters
hope" said Mr.. Hall. 1T was with a
great deal of uncertainty as to the
ultimate result that we went into the
loaning Of funds to needy members,
but the success has been beyond our
fondest expectations. Now we intend
to make it easy for our members to
save their money II they are 50 dis
posed.
by our system members can de-
post money in small amounts with the
shop collectors, from, whom they will
get receipts, the money being turned
over to the treasurer, by whom it will
be placed in banks. Small interest
will be allowed depositors and their
accounts will always be open Unions
in and out of Minneapolis have adopt
ed our loan-fund plan, and we have
inquiries frequently from distant cities
concerning it. Our loans have been
a boon to many members, not only
to those who might be out of work
but to those who have been incapaci-
tated thru illness and to, others who

cause Of misfortune. Besides, it has

even large cities. Railroad favor built
up the State Of Washington. Rail-
road Indifference delayed the Develop
ment of Oregon s. generation. This
stage of railroad exploitation. bad as it
was, Is now practically past. The rail-
roads dare not DO now, in the matter
of discrimination. what twenty-five
years. and even five years ago, was
taken as a matter Of course.
But even a worse stage Of railroad
exploitation has been reached. Now
we do not have the exploitation Of
Individual and community, but of the
railroads themselves. The railroad
magnate with a CLEAN Of conscience,
or of human feeling, has. by a course
vicious selection, been eliminated, I'M
til now we have the cold blooded,
chilled-steel exploiter at the head Of
railroad combinations, who deals in
railroads for what he can set out of
the buying and selling, the building up
and 'wrecking Of the railroads them
selves. Hundreds Of millions of dol
lars are borrowed on one railroad
property that another railroad prop
erty may be bought, exploited,
squeezed like a lemon, and thrown
aside, that another property may be
bought up and passed through the
same process. The result is seen in
the rotten ties, in the loose flshplates,
in the car famines and in the CHASTITY
sacrifice of human lives. This Is, if
you like the elimination of private
ownership in railroads.; the record
marks it's failure. There is but one
remedy, and that is for the people
themselves to own and operate the
roads.

DAY THOUGHTS.

In line with the reflections that In
dependence day was designed to COM
memorate, it may be we'll 70 consider
one or two of the elementary prin:i-
pies that actuated the fathers in
founding the republic.
The fundamental idea with them
was that all men were created equal,
and all departures from that standard
were occasioned by artificialtties and
pretenses, of mems own making, and
were in direct contravention Of the
laws of the Creator.
They gave me,ited recognition to
superiority of talents, intellectual and
otherwise, but insisted that the honor
therefor was due to the Creator, and
the possessor thereof was an account
able steward who must at his peril,
use such talents for the advancement
of the race. If one succeeded in amas-
sing more money than his fellows he

FAILURE OF PRIVATE OWNER.
SHIP,

The newspapers are filled with SEN
sational stories these days Of rotten
railroad ties and rail-holding spikes
that may be pulled out by the hand.
There is a frightful record of wrecks
of passenger trains, scarcely a week
passing that a new horror is not added
to the list Merchants complain that
freight which formerly occupied from
seventeen to twenty days in crossing
the continent, now takes from three
to five months. There are disquietine
rumors about that the railroad COM
panles will be unable to give prompt
service in transporting the California
fruit crop, small as it is, this season.
There is a car famine RAILROAD mag
nate tell us. But why, the average
citizen will ask, are the ties rotten?
Why are the railroads unable to meet
the demands upon them? Why is
there car famine? There can be but
one answer, namely, private ownership
in railroads has failed to make good:
has been proved monumental fall
ure.
Under private ownership of rail-
roads the inevitable has come to pass,
Long ago it was said that where two
railroads parallel each other, one Of
two things must happen. They must
go into the hands OF receiver or COM
btne into a monopoly. In the very
; nature Of things, railroad transporter
ton Is a monopoly, and In private
hands it Is a monopoly that is bound
to be exploited for private gain. And
this as a thing that no people can
permit without suffering the tremen-
dous consequences that are now upon
us, paralysis of the country's TRANSPORT
tation facilities.
Under the system of private owner
\ ship the people were first exploited

"Wholesale" and "Retail" Taxation.
The railroad statisticians and f1nan-
ciers say though passengers are en-
titled to lower rates on the whole
sale" principle. But passenger rates,
like freight rates. are taxes. 1t is
absurd, says President A. B. Stickney,
to talk about wholesale" and retail"
taxation. How much more des it cost
to carry local passenger 1000 miles
than ten miles? The statisticians
don't know. ~r. IT,, #@ ~.
Perhaps it is on the WHOLESALER
plan that the railroads list their prop
erty for taxation. The railroads oper-
ating in Montana told the Census
Bureau that their property in Montana
was worth $196,000,000, but they made
a noise like an lnperiled pig when
they were assessed at IS per cent. OF
