Paragraphs from the Message.

consider it most unwise to abolish the use
of the process of injunction.
The business which is hurt by the
movement for honesty is the kind of BUSH
ness which, in the long run, it pays the
country TO hurt.
Apologists for great corporations that
oppose federal action are false to the
people and are laying up a day of wrath
for the corporations themselves.
As regards the employers liability law,
I advocate its immediate re-enactment,
limiting its scope so that it shall apply
only to the class of cases as to which the
court says it can constitutionally apply,
but strengthening its provisions within
this scope.
1t is all wrong to use the injunction
to prevent the entirely proper and legiti-
mate actions OF labor organizations in
their struggle for industrial bettermeut,
or under the guise of protecting property
rights unwarrantedly TO invade the fun
damental rights of the individual.
When we are able to put the real
~wrongdoer in prison, this is what we
strive to do. This is what we have actu-
ally done . > in the Gaynor and
Greene case and in the case of the mis-
application of funds in connection with
certain great banks in Chicago.
Certain wealthy men have banded to-
gether to work for a reaction. Their en-
deavor is to overthrow and discrcdh all
who honestly administer the law, to pre-
vent any additional legislation which
would check and restrain them and 10 Sc
cure. il possible, a freedom from all re-
strainf which will permit every unscrupu-
lous wronsdoer TO do what he wishes I'M
checked, provided he has enough money.

Jefferson, March 1.-THE stockhold-
ers of the Jefferson Interurban Railway
Company met here and completed the
organization Of the company. The ar
ticles of incorporation were read be-
fore the members. v. H. LoveJoy was
elected temporary chairman, WIN
Messrs. J. M. Forbes and NJ. G. NC
Duffie secretaries. The articles of in
corporation were carefully considered,
and adopted. The sum of $4,000 cap
ital stock was fixed as starter, be-
ing divided into thousand shares Oh
SO each. The. articles provide that
the company may commence business
after the sale Of fifty or more shares
at SO each, aitho many times this
amount has been already subscribed
toward the stock by the business men
of the city. Nine directors was Sc
lected by ballot, anu the following were
appointed:
Henry Haag, Albert Head, p. l..
CockerilL E. H. Carter, S. j. Sayers,
Judge q. A. Church, ]. M. Forbes, A. u.
Howard and Fred E. Gamble. Captain
Head was elected president of the COM
pany, with Henry Haag vice president
CAPTAIN Head addressed the stock
holders, giving valuable Information
regarding proper method to be used
in the booming of the company, ana
securing the interest of the farmers IN
this section Of the country SO that they
would come forward with their help
and cooperation. 1t was his plan 10
commence work as soon as possible,
from this place to Perry, where the
Polk line will be connected with; but
he further stated that the money mar
ket was such now that money which 1t
would take to build the line, would be
a too great amount to raise at once,
and unless the people, and land own
ers came forward and secured the
right-of-way, it world be advisable not
to commence the work until some later
time
It is expected, however, that the
farmers will not hesitate In the least
in furnishing the right of-way between
here and Perry, as considerable inter-
est is being manifested in the rural
districts. It is expected that this COM
pany will follow the plan which the
Fort Dodge. Des Moines and Boone
line followed, as they gave to the
farmers In exchange for the right-of-
way stock in the company. and in re-
turn the farmers graded the road-bed
and did everything possible to help the
company.
It is indeed obvious, however, that
altho no definite work has as vet been
commenced, with such men behind the
company as Albert Head and Henry
Haag, the Cockerills and many other
capitalists, who will not hesitate In do
ing all within their power toward sue
cess, the Jefferson line is almost sure
to be a thing Of reality.

Clinton March 1.-THE navigation
season on the upper MISSISSIPPI.
Northwestern draw was steamed up,
and the bridge crews were put to
work for the summer This is an UNI
usually early opening of navigation.
which usually dates from the middle
of March.
Working thirty feet below the bot
tom of the river the crews of sand
hogs as the pneumatic workers are
styled. are sinking the first of three
big caisson piers which will support
that portion Of the new Northwestern
bridge living between the Iowa shore
and Little Rock island. Just why the
men are invested with that inelegant
name is not plain, but it is the one
universally used by bridge workers in
connection with them.
The caisson will go down thirty-six
feet before bedrock is reached, and
another month will be consumed in
getting to the solid foundation, as only
a foot is made per day. At depth
of twenty feet below the bottom OF
the river huge pine log was en-
countered, no doubt ater-logged and
sunk from a passing raft decades ago.
Two more of these huge caissons will
be sunk during the coming summer.
The Chicago & Northwestern intends
to complete the new bridge within a
