WORKING HOURS ON RAILWAYS.

A bill reallating the hours of la- Dor on the railroads engaged in inter. state commerce has passed the sen ate and Is before the house. The pres ident is using his influence to send if through that body. There Is some chance that he will succeed. This was not one of the issues in the congress sional campaign of 1906. but it was one of the things which the president urged on the republicans in case they should win. He advocated this in the letter which he wrote to representa- i've Watson early in the campaign, in which he pointed out some reasons why the country should be benefited by republican victory.
 T hope. ard have reason to be- iseve. that favorable action will be taken on the bill limiting the hours of work of railroad employees" These were the presidents words in that Watson letter. The friends of the measure in the house are quoting those words in support of the bill More accidents involving loss of life have taken place on the railroads in the past year or two than in any pre- yious period of equal duration. In this particular the United States has won bad pre-emlnence among the great countries of the world. There arc several times more fatalities in this country on the railway every year than there are In England, Ger many or France, in proportion to the number of persons travelling.
 overvork on the part of employees has been the cause of great many oi these casualties Physical torpor due to excessive hours of labor of rail way workers is accountable for the failure, in many cases, to make use of the mechanical devices to prevent accidents. The object of the bill is to limit the hours of work so as to diminish this peril of physical col lapse. A week or two ago J. J. Hill was reported 10 have said that he was getting to be. afraid to take a railroad Journey anywhere on account of the risk of wrscks. If he actually said this he framed a formidable in dictment against himself and the rest of the railway chiefs of the country If they should give a little intelligent attention to the matter. it is reason able to believe they could reduce thi. annual slaughter to much smaller dl mensions than 1t has now attained One of the ways. probably, in whict it could be reduced is by the enact ment of a law putting the hours 0, work for employees at some safe limit -Globe-Democrat

A BLOW TO WOMAN SUFFRAGE.

About the same hour two or threc days ago, when the Oklahoma consti- tutiop framers were defeating a prop osition to put woman suffrage in tie charter of that state, a large deIega- tion of women were urging commit tee of the New York legislature not to give the ballot to their sex. The scope of the measure which was pro posed in Guthrie was different from that which is pending in Albany. The question in Oklahoma was to give the women an absolute equality with men at the ballot box. The bill which is proposed in New York is to let wo- men taxpayers vote at special cleo tio4s in cities of the third class in that state on propositions which af- feet taxation.
 In Albany the matter has not yet been settled No action has been reached on the proposition, but the result is likely to be adverse to the suffragists. It was noticed at the hearing before the legislative com mittee in Albany that five times as many women opposed the measure as favored 1t This preponderance on the side of the anti-suffragists does not affect the merits of the measure But it will have some influence on the yore on it in the legisIatrrs. Tt must be borne in mind that the antt-suf- fragists have a stronger society in New York than in any other gate, and they mustered in big force at Albany. while the suffragists did not turn out in their usual num- bers, though those who were on hand showed "a good deal of earnestness in their cause.
 The suffragists have been meeting some setbacks in the past two or three years. Oregon turned down the suffrage proposition in 1906 by the largest majority ever rolled up against 1 it in that state. Kansas and Mon tana did the same thing in 1905, and Rhode Island in 1906. As radicalism seemed to hold sway in Oklahoma the suffragists had hopes of scoring tri umph in that coming state, but met a reverse instead. Wyoming, Colorado Utah and Idaho grant women the sui erage on the same terms as men, al lowing them to vote for every office from presidential electors down But all attempts to increase this number have failed In many states womer have a limited suffrage. extending tC school question propositions affecting
 taxation and other things, but ever

WOMEN in
 BusINEss.

Those who are interested in the signs of the times must have been impressed with the fact that many women are entering into business for themselves and that in almost every ing.ance the ladies are most success full About year ago three ladies decided to go into the restaurant business in a downtown district. and places of the sort in the city, says the St. Louis Globe-Democrat. Many wo- men are proprietors of dressmaking establishments, but 1t is only recent ly that a couple of ladies severed their connection with a large import ing establishment and went to work for themselves, and are succeeding as well as any of their competitors in the business. Several women are en- gagged in the corset business, and now a corset shop has been opened by a young woman for years at the head of the department of one of the large stores. We haven't any women jew elers as yet, and there seems to be an opening for women with capital in the millinery district The time has certainly gone when women sat down and cried because there was no op portunity for them except that afford ed by the public schools or as stenog. raphers. We find the most success ful business women those who have been trained to the details of It.. A woman who has studied thoroughly over the business of ordering for a family has learned the elements of the work necessary before she can successfully take charge of a restau.
 rant. The same is true in every branch of work in which women en gage As a general thing a woman has not much faith in her ability tc initiate, and much prefers a position | in which she follows instructions. but evidently the self-confidence neces
 sary to take charge of a business is developing, and 1t will soon cease tC be a matter of comment when women start out for themselves. As prelimi
 nary training for their work it is worthy of comment that the majority of women employed hay spirit oi loyalty to their employers and a con scieRtious regard for duty that fits | them for intelligent control of their own business after such close identi- fication with the business of those un' [ der whom they served.

 PROGRESSIVE PRESS,

l
 The report of the postal joint com mission, created by an act approved last June, has at last been presented to congress with recommendations to pass bill that will revolutionize the newspaper business and deprive the people of their cheapest source of ed ucation and comfort in denying to daily papers to print fiction and many other very objectionable provisions Some of the provisions in the bill are nothing short of amazing, and the i wonder is what the publishers of the country will think of a measure which seemingly puts the most peculiar re. strictions On publication methods. Some parts of the bill are so curious that it would seem as if 1t had been framed in a mood bordering on the jocular, One of the provisions. which has attracted open-eyed notice, is that no supplement of a newspaper which is admitted to second class rates shall be composed of or Son tain advertisements" Furthermore 1t is decreed that no newspaper or periodical shall be admitted to the mails at second class rates If adver- tisements constitute more than 50 per cent of the superficial area of any issue. Unless the legislators amend this measude before passing it pnbIi- cation methods must be changed radi- eally if the publisher intends to make use of the postoffice service as a car Tier
 The bill may be summed up as an attack on the daily press, creating a press censorship, leaving to govern ment employees the right to determine the information and reading which the public wants and extending a pa ternalistic guardianship over the busi- ness offices of newspapers by limiting advertisements.
 This extraordinary measure well might be termed bill to reduce the SSaHda4u Ol Udliy ut"spdpeIS- uS joint commission started work on the hypothesis that second class mail mat ter is carried at loss to the govern ment. and does not pay it's propo-tion- ate share in revenue. One of the main results of it's laborious ponder. ing is the discovery that the newspa- per has expanded too much in the di rection of the magazine.
 An elaborate plan Is provided for 3 commission, to be known as the com mission of postal appeals. under the provisions of the proposed bill. The commission is to have control in g general way of the classification oi mail matter and the right of matter tc admission to the second class. 1t is to consist of three members, to be ap pointed by the President, subject tc the advice and consent of the senate Commissioners are to hold offices fo, six years.

this issue upon the workingmen of Bisbee which they have already man ifested they do not want?
 The mining companies of the war ren district have not dlscrimnsted against union men. If they had. there would be some. justification for the Western Federation in forcing the is- sue at this time. But there has been no eisetimynspon. Union men in Blsbes have paid thsir dues to their organizations and have assisted in making the fight elsewhere. where the conditions of workingmen were not so favorable as their own. These same men have not felt that they naa q grievancs in this camp. or the need of . Western Federation organization here in order that they should receive fair treatment There are no labor disturbances in Bisb@e. but the orsan- izers come now and propose to change the happy. prosperous and pleasant conditions that have existed here for SO long, by taking the position that Disbee must come under ths union ban.
 The issue Is well defined: Sbaii Bisbes be an open" camp or shall 1t be a Western Federation camp in all that the term implies?
 It is evident from the action taken by the mining companies on Tuesday and Wednesday that patience has ceased to be a virtue. With the as- sistance of the workingmen of the district they have been able to main tain labor conditions here un9qualied anywhere. Several times "organiz- CTS ahye met their appearance only to be met with a curt refusal on the part of the employees to fall in with their plans. Again they have returned to the attack and the indi- cations are that the final struggle Is now at hand.
 The agitation in thIs camp last March was settled by the worEng- men through the means of the ballot. and the prompt settlement of the present agitation means the saving to the community in general of thousands and possibly millions of dollars.
 WHAT ARE THE woRK1NGMEN GOING TO DO2
 Shall they sit idly by and permit a condition to be brought about for which they are not responsible?
 The Western Federation has made a move. The mining companies have now made a move.
 WHOSE NEXT MOVE IS ITZ
 The Review believes 1t Is up to the conservative, sensible, sober minded workingmen-union and non union--to take hand in the game.
 Shall Bisbee be forced into a con dltion bordering on bankruptcy with mines shut down. business men clos ing their doors. workingmen and their families leaving for uLneT towns, not a wheel turning in the | camp-because of what?
 Because a few irresponsible organ izers who have nothing to loose and all to gain, insist that they shall be permitted to change the labor con. ditions in Bisbee?
 It is time, that the workingmen of ! Bisbee, who have the welfare and ! prosperity of the people of Bis5ee at heart, take some intelligent and con- 1 certed action.

THE LOCAL LABOR SITUATION,

The fact that eight hundred miners are out of employment In the Warren district, in the opinion of the Review, is the direct result of the attempt now being made by the Western reGer- ation of Miners. through their accred- tied representatives, to make of Bis bee strictly union camp.
 If the Review guages the situation correctly, the Warren district mining companies have determined to meet the issue and to meet it squarely face to face, once and for all time.
 The issue is: Shall Bisbee remain an open camp SE shall it be a "eiosed" union camp? The Western Federation insists that it shall be d union camp, under their control and domination, and the mine owners just as strenuously propose that labor con- ditions in Bisbee shall continue and be the same in the future as they have in the past.
 IS THE STRUGGLE THAT I1 AP- PARENTLY TO TAKE PLACE WORTH WHILE?
 There are probably working in Bis bee today 1000 union miners who be lieve in the principles of organized labor. They carry a card showng they are union men in good standIng. On the other hand there is no doubt an equal number of non-union men simi- lariy employed. These workingmen have worked side by side for years. They have gene about their worK cun- fident that in this camp they had at last escaped from all labor disturb ances, where union and non-union gorkmen were on an equal rootlnx, =and where wages and hours were sat isfactory-at least to great majority of the men so employed. It has not gSep So very long ago that an at tempt was made to bring about dif- ferent condition of affairs in Bisbee. Mir. Jos. D. Cannon, who has again appeared in our midst, was one of the prime movers in the agitation at that time for a locai union of the Western Federation of Miners. There were public meetings and speeches. There was discussion on the streets and finally in miners mass meeting, upon motion of a union man. the qGestIeR was refer red to the miners employed in the Warren district, who on certain day ia March voted. b. means of the Australian ballet system more than five 70 one against {he proposition. ana tAe Review deas not believe that sentinsen. against local Western Federation union in Bisbee has 7 changed since last March

PRAYER a Har9nonizer.

Peter had praying band about
him; for ten days the disciples con-
tinued in prayer. When the preacher
stands as Peter did, surrounded by a
praying church, the result is multi
tude of converts, steadfastness in
church life, self-denial and gladness.
Peters sermon was born of prayer.
A praying people cannot quarrel;
strife, malice, back-biting-open
springs that feed church quarrels-
are dried up by the south wind of
prayer. A church on its knees look
ing to Christ. overlooks much. He
that studies the stars has no time to
criticise his fellows; the telescope
that walls in the planet walls out
men. A praying people do not oppose
the pastor; molten metal easily takes
the shape of the mold set for it;
hearts united in prayer conform to
the pastors plans, fill up, and give
value to his purposes.-Ram's Horn.

The Common Denominator.

It seems to be taken for granted by
a number of writer's that the only
way of rendering the Gospel of Christ
acceptable to men is to show it's like
ness to. other religions, and to try to
find the common denominator be-
tween them all. This is line Of de-
fense with which we are becoming
familiar; but it does not require
much foresight to see that it is
doomed to fail. 1t is one thing to
show (what is very necessary to be
shown that the Gospel is the perfec-
ten of all light and truth In the
world; it is quite another to attempt
to make all the light and truth equal.
There is no need to disparage the
broken rays of light and the partial
morsels of truth which are found
outside Christ, but the fact remains
that they are broken and partial at
the very best. The Gospel has hith-
erto achieved its victories by insist
ence upon what is unique in it, and
this special note must be insisted
upon, if the victories are to continue.

essence of the Gospel found. Ihose
who are princes in the Kingdom or
Jehovah are men of single purpose,
Of unsullied devotion to the truth, or
unified motive. There is no double
dealing in the heart Of man who real
ly lives within Jesus. He does busl-
ness on the square and is not merely
waiting his chance to knife you. If
he does good he does it not that he
may secure praise Or profit thereby,
but in order that he may be and bring
blessing into needy life. The pro-
testations and pronunciamentos OF
the Christian, his affirmed convictions
and declared ideas, are not different
from the inner desires and beliefs
that mold his life. The eye of the
Christian is single and when he looks
at you you may read therein the
deepest motives of his soul. There is
no mud there. But how different are
the motives OF the men Of The world.
Lacking principle, it is we'll to be
wary Of their motives. The man who
is continually looking out for himself
may, not unjustly, be suspected OF
having an axe. to grind. His chief
aim is to throw dust in your eyes
that you may not see through him.
His ways are devious and his motives
double and dangerous.
But the greatest thing that differ
entiates the Christian from the world
is the soul life. The man who puts
his trust in temporalities has little of
that and generally wants more of 1t.
Being chiefly jealous to get a full
store of this world goods he hasn't
time to waste over the inner man
and intangible realities of life. His
time is preoccupied by the present.
The Christian, however, is not so.
Living a full, rich, free, helpful life
in the world, he yet realizes that af-
ter all the soul life is the thing. His
chief interest in the material things
of life lies in the fact that through
them his soul may find expression.
To live near to God is his first desire
and endeavor, for he knows that then
the basis of life is sure.
An, yes, there is difference be-
tween Gods men and Belials. There
is a sharp line of demarkation be-
tween the life of sclfishness and the

we have an army Of pure minded,
clean hearted, noble acting men and
women; and opposed to them host
of unprincipled self-seekers. The
man who is clothed upon by Christ
cannot be happy and and do wrong;
the servant of Satan thinks it happi-
ness if so be he only gets on top.
The Christian views his actions in the
light Of eternity and considers their
everlasting consequences.
I am not anxious that Christians
should be labelled by the clothes they
wear. I am solicitoas that their de-
pertinent should mark them as
Christ's; that when they open their
mouths men shall know without any
guesswork uron whose side they
stand; that when the rub comes be-
tween wrong and righteousness they
shall stand up and be counted with
the hosts of heaven.
