TEST SAFETY APPLIANCE ACT.
Wabash VIII Ask Ruling From Su-

In order to determine just how far
the national government has right

scribing what safety Appliances must

court.
The case to be carried up was orig

the most interesting that has been

point at issue is whether congress

It is contended that, if congress has
a right to enact law that controls
switch engines and cars that are used

Of governmental ownership or the
control of railroads by the government
is definitely settled, the law preSumeS
the right of the government to state

The Time for a 2,4OO Yard Re-
lay Race Is Broken.

New York, March 1S.-Three worlds
records were broken at the N. Y. A. G..
games at Madison Square Garden
Forest Smithson the champion hurdler
| formerly of Portland, Ore, twice beat
the worlds mark in the 70-yard high
hurdle race. and the Twenty-third
Regiment relay team hung up a new
| record in the 2,4OO yard relay race.
Smithson captured his heat in eight
and four-f1fth seconds and won the
final in nine seconds. The former record
was nine and one-fifth seconds, made
by Chase in 1894. Myers, Sedley and
Bacon for the Brooklyn Regiment, COW
cred the 2, 400 yards in five minutes six
and four-f1fth seconds, beating the rec
ord of five minutes eleven and two
fifth seconds, made by the Irish-Ameri-
can Athletic club last year at Celtic
Park by nearly five seconds.
Matt McGrath broke the worlds rec
ord in throwing the 55-pound weight,
tossing it 16 feet inches and beating
the record made by James Mitchell of
Is feet inches, in 1897
In the 70-yard hurdles it was expect
ed that A. B. Shaw, of Dartmouth,
would give Smithson close race. The
crack western hurdler was in splendid
form and topped the timber in his first
trial heat 2-5 of a second below the
worlds record. Shaw was outclassed
and failed to qualify.
One of the prettiest races was be-
tween Harry Hillman, of the N. Y. A.
c., and Guy Haskins, formerly Of Penn
sylvania. The distance was 600 yards.
Both men got away well and ran a
clean race. On the last quarter Hill
man brought his famous squirt into play
and breasted the tape barely two yards
ahead of Haskins.
In the 1,000-yard invitation run Mel
vim Sheppard, of the Irish-American A.
G. led the field winning in minutes
20 3-5 seconds.
New Workers captured the intercity
relay race from Boston. Gotham was
represented by Crockett, Kock, Sedley
and TIfllman, all of the New York Ath-
letic club, and Foster, Rand. Seldin.
Witcher, of Harvard university. repre-
sented Boston. Until the last relay
neither side had gained an advantage.
Hillman was anchor man for the local
team and he romped away from his
opponent and won easily by four yards.

las already stated, President Roose-
velt's brass band method of dealing
with the subject is simply strengthen
ing the unwise determination Of labor
to resist that natural read5ustment of
business to a lower level which would
increase the purchasing power of
wages, lower the cost of living and
hasten recuperation. Such resistance
will be unfortunate in the extreme, and
quite as harmful to the best interests
Of labor as to the interests of capital.
There is no use in ignoring the fact
that the president is aggravating rath-
er than improving a very threatening
situation. 1t is better to pour oil on

TWO GREAT THINGS IN LIFE
Doing Real Work Well, and Love, Says
This Writer.

On this gloomy day, beginning with
a troublous morning spirit of content
grows upon me. Perhaps it is because
| rescued those half-burned notes, but
somehow 1t comes to me with renewed
force that two of the great things in
life are real work-that Is worth the
doing-and love. To this add opti-
mism, "a reasonable and eager hope,
and you have certainly the Ingredients
for happiness. There is spirit of wor-
ship in work, recognized by the monks
long ago in their proverb, Work is
prayer" The same spirit exists in true
love, that impels us to high ideals,
and calls out the best, the truest, the
noblest sentiments we possess. I'VE
needs must love the highest when we
see it," Real joy and happiness often
exist In the WEAKNESS of toll, and in
striving to live up to an ideal and be
worthy OF love. There is no great mys-
terry in this, for real troubles have
their part in life, yet after all, a great

II DOLLAR YEAR In ADVANCE
THURSDAY, JAN. 16, 1908

A Phillipsburg business man sold
two general stores last week for
$4,000, putthe money in his pocket
and started to Kansas City to pay off
some bills He stepped off Of the
train at BellevilIe where he was
promptly sondbsgged and robbed of
every cent he had in the world. The
robbersgot $4,000 in cash, and $12, 900
in checks and notes. This incident
is good illustration of the chances
taken in trying to do business with
out banks. If this man had banked
his money, and started to Kansas
City with draft, he would still be q
rich man. AS it is not only poor,
but can not fail to look upon himself
as a rank sucker.
