Much dissatisfaction exists among the
Ruthenian actors who tour the country
under the auspices of the Ruthenian Ma
tional Societies. They complain that they
are miserabiy paid, and are circulating
leaflets appealing for help. 1t seems
that their average wages are about fifty
crowns month (f2), and for this they
are required to perform the most varied
services.

The Toney bill, provid- ing for the change in the date of holding the state election, was pass ed by the house today, and as it has already passed the senate. it is now ready to go to the gOyer- nor. When the bill first came up in the house it was proposed to change the date to the first Tues day after the first Monday in No yember, which would be the same date as the national election, but the suggestion was withdrawn after many members of the house had spoken against it in vigorous terms. The change from the first to the second Monday in September is made to avoid the present conflict with Labor Day, as it was contend ed that it was practically impossi- ble to get out full vote on that day. because of the fact that the laboring men were celebrating La hOr Dav

SANTA FE CLOSES
ITS GREATEST YEAR
Earnings Have Grown al the Rate Of
a Million Dollars q Month and Are
Still Growing.

The Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe
Railway company closed the greatest
year in its history on July /. It's
gross earnings will be considerably in
advance of those Of any other twelve
months, having grown at the rate Of
more han 81 1000. 600 "A month. as
compared with the previous year.
which also was a record breaker. Net
earnings ave increased at the rate OF
about $250,000
For ten years the Santa Re has
been growing steadily in importance.
So far as its present mileage is con-
ccrned, already 1t is one of the great
est systems in the country. II now has
under operation $3.50 miles of road.
and its length is being added to CON
stantly. The most important work be-
fore 1t is the linking M of its Pacific
coast and gulf lines, when il will have
a direct line not only from Chicago to
Los Angeles and san Francisco. but
one from Galveston to both those
California points.
In an dge'of progress in the railroad
world there has been no more pro-
gressive Dad han the Santa Fe. Those
now in its control do not appear To
have allowed any opportunity for i'm
proVement and expansion to have es-
capped them. From a bankrupt con-
Germ, threatened with complete dlSln-
tegration, within a decade il has been
transformed into one of the most com
plete and profitable systems of the
country, able to pay the holders Of its
common stock dividcpds of 6 per cent
on The par value OF their holdings.
Nor have these dividends been at the
expense Of the physical condition of
the property. Large sums have been
spent on the improvement and main
%tenance Of the roadbed and equip
ment.
During the last year nearly one
third of the gross earnings have been
spent on the maintenance of way and
equipment. This is an unusually high
proportion. and IL has resulted IN "A
marked enhancement in The value Of
the property, contributing in no small
degree to the increased earning power
ana its more economical operation.
The greater portion of the system now
is laid with heavy steel rails. The
motive power also has been increased
enormously. Many of the radical inn
provements have been required by the
development of the territory
served by It's lines. The density Of
in all that region has increased
enormously.

Honest Effort is Needed,

Rev. w, w. Ravens. superintendent
of the Now Mexico anti-saloon league
and superintendent of Christian citi-
shin of the New Mexico union OF
Christian Endeavorers. has addressed
a letter to the Endeavorers of tho
territory which strikes a ringing note
for an uplift in the political methods
obtaining I'm New Mexico. The let
ter, which was mailed yesterday to
Endeavorers in all parts of the terri
tory follows:
Albuquerque, n. NJ. July g.. 1907.
70 the Christian Endeayorers Of New
Mexico.
My Dear Young Friends:-At your
last territorial convention | was
elected superintendent Of Christian
citizenship and temperance, but, like
the old church member of whom l
ave read. IA not been working at
the business lately. my one excuse be-
ing oVerwork on the lines OF the anti
saloon league.
Next Sunday Is Christian Citizenship
day with the Christian Endeavor, and
/ hope in each EndeaVor society Of the
territory this day will be observed
upon Christian citizenship lines. The
hope of the nation rests upon the.
young people Of the Christian church
and every OFFICER and leader should
endeaVor to instlll into the minds OF
the members the necessity of active
work against the prevalent evils of tho
day.
Don't let them make YOU believe
that Christian people should keep out
OF politics. There Is no place on Gods
green earth where the necessity uf
mixing religion with politics is so
great as I'm New Mexico. The mere fact
that men h are sincerely striving
to reform the politics Of our territory
can he 1lTnaH ont nf office at the ha.
hest Of the grafters and political sys-
ters of the territory is proof of the
necessity for the education of the
young, leading them up to the stand
ard of purity in politics. Let US an
use our utmost endcaVors to lea up
to a standard of citizenship which
shall demand the very best from those
in authority over us, and which shall
insist uDon the putting down of the
evils which now control the politics Of
our territory.
Cordially yours.
