 Little Rock, Dec. 1.-The Penitentiary fund of the state has been exhausted, and there is nothing with which to pay cur rent expenses, and there will be nothing except that which comes in from the convict contractors and the state farm. There are some 1, 100 bales of cotton on the farm, but the penitentiary board has decided to hold this for not less than 15 cents, and there is no revenue from that for some time, apparently.
 The contractors keep we'll paid up, and there is not a great deal due the state from this source, and as the penitentiary board has not the power to borrow money it remains to be seen how the trouble will be adjusted.

December 9-The great temperance wave sweeping Northward and spread ing in all directions has hit Mil Waukee, considered the invinci- ble stronghold of the liquor inter ests, with the force that the liqu- or men have hastened to inaugu- rate certain reforms themselves hoping to forestall more radical action by the temperance ele- ment.
 This acknowledgment of the strength of the propition move ment is highly significant. It a. mounts practically to an epoch in the history of this city, which heretofore has sneered defiantly at all temperance movements.

able safety, and if they are not willing
to do so of their own accord they should
be compelled. Legislation looking
toward the improvement in manage
ment OF railroads is just, but the ques-
ton of safety should not be forgotten.
1t is true that it is engaging the atten-
ton Of those in authority. but as usual
it comes last. Lower fares are de-
manded. which is due the public, par
ticularly as the railroads are sure to
make just as much money as they did
before, a fact that has been demon
strated; proper control is all right (;
good wages and decent hours for the
railroad workers are desirable.
But the question Of safety is para
mount, and railroads should be COM
PEELED to recognize it if they are so
bind to their own interests as to ig-
more it. And unless 1t is speedily set
tied in favor of the public, the time
will come when there will be no people
for the railroads to carry, except those

Representative Williamson Of Ore
.gon, who was convicted in 1905. on the
charge of conspiracy to unlawfully Sc
cure United States lands and was about
to be sentenced TO pay fine Of $500
and serve 10 months in prison when he
appealed to the Supreme Court that his
imprisonment would prevent his atten-
dance upon sessions of Congress from
which he claimed protection under the
Constitution. He now moves the Court
to advance the case to immediate hear
ing On the ground of its public inpor-
tance. AS the term for which William
son was elected to Congress expired en-
the 4th of March last, his appeal will
hardly appeal to the court as of any
Importance as to keep him out Of prison
would not affect his next attendance
on the next Congress Of which he is not
a member. Still it will be interesting
10 know if Congressman convicted of
crime is SO necessary to his constitu-
entS that the court will let him free to
serve them. The Republicans of Ore
gen must have been hard up for mater
al for public servants when they Sc
lected Senator Mitchell and Congress

The Steal In Steel.

The United States Steel Tor SteaD
Company has issued its statement for
1906 and from this statement it APP
pears:
First-That the gross sales were
1886, 756. 926.el.
Second-That the company mas 2O2.-
457 employees.
Third~That the employees received
last year s14F, 765s546.
Fourth That the net earnings fo,'
the year amounted 70 $l56, 624, 273.i$.
From these figures if will be seen
that the net earnings amG5nt to about
% per cent. of the gross sales. Can
the average business man do that well
when ne has no monopoly?
1t will also be seen that the pat
earnings exceed the wages paid to en-
ployes. That means that each en-
ploye earns what is paid to him and in
addition to that earns a profit for his
employer more than equal to his wages
Inc company makes more than one
hundred per cent. profit On the wages
PAID; can the.ordinary business man do
that we'll when ne has no monopoly?
The employees receive in wages about
Il per cent. Of the gross sales and vet
the average tariff is about 50 per cent.
what need has the steel company. of
the tariff which it now enjoys? And
how long will the American people wait
for the tariff to be reformed by its
oenehciaries? Will the average bust
ness man who has no monopoly con
tlnue to vote with managers of the
Steel trust?
