of the cars composing the train and not

The purpose in providing trains with
speek rec orders is to educate engineers
to strive for smoother running and al
SO to promote greater speed on the
part of the station crews. This new
machine not only records the speed Of
the train, but also the amount of time
spent in stopping at each station, thus
keeping complete check on every
body concerned with theranning of the
train.
One of the greatest benefits of the
new instrument will be in spotting the

Description Of Mitchell's Corn Palace and
It's Splendid Work in Advancing
the Resources Of the State

The executive committee, OF the Nit
chell Corn Palace has been working for
several weeks in preliminary way for
the most successful annual gathering
ever held in this state, not excepting
tne year 1904, when the worlds famous
stSousa concert band entertained so 600
people in one week in this city. Since
that time a new Corn Palace building
has been erected with seating capa-
city of 5000 and display room for a
dozen counties with agricultural ex-
hibits and the world renowned Sousa
band has again been retained as one OF
the many attractive features that will
be provided for the thousands of citi-
zens from this and other states who
come to Mitchell for loyal yearly en-
tertainment.
This great band of musical artists,
which will give two concerts daily for
the week from September % -28, will be
assisted as inside entertainers by a
splendid high class vaudeville troupe
engaged from large eastern city.
The free street attractions this year
are to excel any former year by hav ing
greater numbers and a higher class of
entertainers.
Its expected that the opening day
will be very interesting as a very prom
ueut and able western railway official
will favor the people with an hours ad

ties of this great nndeyeloped western

CONDITIONS CHANGING.
The Wage-Earners Share Growing
Much Less.

1t is the greatest crime of the ages,
the most colossal rblunder of organized
society, that the men who work. with
muscle and brawn generally IRE allowed
zoo small share of the common
wealth. For there's is the first and
most essential service. They are the
foundation of all civilization. They
lay the cornerstones of all human tri-
umphs and achievements. If there is.
one lesson history teaches it is that
that civilization is best, that country
the greatest, where those who put their
muscle into their work received the
largest proportional share of the net q
product Of wealth. Within the last
century great advancement toward this
end has been wrought through trades
unionism through organization of
labor.
Only by organization is the laborinQ
man, so-called, able to protect himself
from the sorces that are are constantly
tending to crush him to the earth. Il
1T never was necessary before, labor
unionism of capital. These are the two
elements that, combining to produce
wealth, are in constant strife the one
with the other, as to the distribution Of
the output. Organized labor, in a way.
puts labor on q par with capital, which
Is also organized. 1t has enabled labor,
as distinguished from capital, to gain
better wages, shorter hours, greater
protection against injustice, and more
i tolerrb!e conditions.
i The common interest Of all is "a
balancing of the scales. The rich mans
son may have to labor for his daily
bread in the next generation, and the
8 poor mans son may be his employer.
| Hence there is no liked laboring class
in the United States; hence no one
should wish government to recognize
no class or rank above any other, but
brather that it be made and administer:
ed impartially in the interests Of all.
II lis government and laws seefh to
favor sometimes, as they do, the few
who don't work over the many who do,
j the many iave the remedy iii their own
i hands. Their power in the political
world is the same as their power in the
industrial world, and even greater, lit
they butchoose to exert it. If they all
low their power to be usurped, and SO
suffer from governmental injustice aud
inequity, they have themselves to
blame.
In the ten years between 1880 and
1880 wages rose 81 per cent, and living
cost declined 30 per cent, gain in pros
perity OF 81 per cent for the wage.
Garner In the fifteen yeare following,
