not for a moment, apparently, does she
regret the step she took. 1 doubt very

little child appeared at the door, with
big eyes, taking ME in from head to

curly head was hidden in the folds of
the dark skirt of the young unwedded
mother.
Red as a rose blushed she, as she
patted the child's shoulder. "Our plans

JUDGES POORLY COMPENSATED.
President Would Double Salaries OF
Wearers of the Ernlne,

most earnestly urge upon the con-
gress the duty of increasing the totally
inadequate salaries now given to our
Judges. On the whole there is no body
OF public servants who do as valuable
work. nor whose moneyed reward is so
inadequate compared to their work. Be-
ginning with the supreme court the
judges should have their salaries dou-
bled. 1t is not BETTING the dignity OF
the nation that its most honored public
%ervants should be paid sums so small
compared to what they would earn in
private life that the performance Of
public service by them implies nm ex-
ceedingly heavy pecuniary sacrifice.
1t Is earnestly to be desired that some
method should be devised for doing
away with the long delays which now
obtain in the administration Of justice.
and which operate with peculiar sever
ity against persons OF small means, and
favor only the very criminals whom it
IL most desirable to punish. These
long delays in the nal decisions Of
cases make in the aggregate a crying
evil; and a remedy should be devised.
Much Of this intolerable, delay is due
to improper regard paid to technicalf-
ties which are a mere hinderance to
Justice. In some. noted, recent cases this
over-rsgard for technicalitics has re-
suited. in a striking denial of justice,
and hagrant wrong to the body polite.

LABOR LEADERS SCORED.
Attack on Judiciary Shown to Be Prov.
ocativer Of Evil Result.

oc1tjveI Of EVIL Result.
At the last election certain leaders Of
organized labor made a violent and
sweeping attack upon the entire Judi
eiary of the country, an attack couched
in such terms a. to include the most
upright, honest and broad-minded
Judges. no less than those of narrower
mind and more restricted outlook. 1t
wal The kind Of attack admirably ft-
ted to prevent any successful attempt
to reform abuses Of the judiciary. be-
cause it gave the hampions of the UNI
Just Judge their eagerly desired oppor-
tunity to shift their ground into a
championship Of just Judges who were
unjustly -assailed. Last year. before
the house committee on judiciary.
the1e same labor leaders formulated
their demands. specifying the bill that
contained them. refusing all compro-
stating they wished the principle
OF that bill or nothing. They insisted
on q provision that In a labor dispute
no injunction should issue except to
protect q property right. inc s%pecifcal-
ly provided that The right to carry on
business should not be construed as q
property right; and In a second prov.s-
ion their bill made legal in a labor dis
pute any act OF agreement by or be-
tween two or more persons that would
not have been unlawful II done by a
single person. In other words. this bill
legalized blacklisting and boycotting

CONTROL OF CORPORATIONS.
National Government the Proper Agent
- for the Work.


AS regards the great corporations en-
gagged in interstate business. and espe-
cially the railroads, I can only repeat
what I have already again and again said
in my messages to the congress. I be-
lieve that under the interstate clause Of
the constitution the United States has
complete and paramount right to con-
troll all agencies of interstate commerce,
and i believe that the national govern
ment alone can exercise this right with
wisdom and effectiveness 30 as both to
secure justice from. and to do justice to.
the great corporations which are tho
most important factors in modern BUSH
ness. I believe that 1t is worse than
folly to attempt to prohibit all COM
binations as is done by the Sherman
antitrust law, because such a law can
be enforced only imperfectly and un-
equally, and its enforcement works al
most as much hardship as good. !
strongly advocate that instead of an un-
wise effort to prohibit all combinetlons.
there shall be substituted q law which
shaIl expressly permit combinations
which arc in the interest of the public.
but shall at the same time give to SONS

should be made more liberal II Its
terms. There Is no good ground for
the distinction made in the law be-
tween those engaged in hazardous oc-
equations and those not so engaged. If
a man is injured or killed in any line
OF work. It was hazardous in his case.
Whether n per cent. or ten per cent.
OF those following a given occupation
actually suffer injury or death ought
not to have any bearing on the ques.
tion OF their receiving compensation.
1t Is q grim logic which says to an in
1ured employe or to the dependents Of
one killed that he OF they are entitled
to no compensation because very few
people other than he have been injured
or killed in that occupation. PERHAPS
one OF the most striking omissions in
the law Is that it does not embrace
peace officers and others whose lives
may be sacrificed in enforcing the laws
OF the United States. The terms Of the
act providing compensation should be
made more liberal than in the present
act. A years compensation is not ade-
Quate for a ~wage-earner's family In the
event of his death by accident in the

satton the equivalent Of one or two

CIGAR tina LASTS ALL DAY.
Device Of the Ease-Loving Indians of
South America.

Cigars a foot and a half long,
which are made for one days smok-
Ing, have been placed on view in the
American Museum Of Natural His
tory at New York. With them Is a
holder which looks like tuning fork
and is large enough to be used for
pitching hay.
Far up the Rio Nigra, a tributary OF
the Amazon, two explorers, Henry
Schmidt and Louis Weiss, made a col.
lection of articles for the museum
The Indians there made cigars IS
inches long and as big around as a
child's arm. One of these cigars Is
too much for any ease-loving man to
clasp, so the Indians put the fragrant
roll between the tines of a fork two
and half feet long, stick the sharp
end Of the handle into the ground at
a convenient distance from their
hammocks, and take a puff from time
to time as they sway lazily backward
and forward. . ....
There are many other picturesque
articles in the collection, which was
made during a three months journey
from the coast. The material is Of the
highest value, and nothing like it has
been seen, except few articles in a
German fnuseum. '' .. ,." g.. .'

Western Pacific Work

THE condition of the money market,
and the so-called hard times, will not
interfere in any material way with the
completion of the Western Pacific line, !"
said w. H. Watts Of the Utah Con-
struction company to Salt Lake Herald
representative upon his return to ogden
a few days ago from a trip along the
Western Pacific in Nevada. 1--WE have
about $500 men doing grade work at
the present time and this does not in
clude the steele gangs, engaged in lay
ing rails, the bridge gangs and the
engineering forces. We are using the
greater number of our men on the large
tunnels and heavy work at both ends of
the line. We are working with a view
of keeping the track laying gangs busy.
Of course, were we not held down, we
would employ larger force and would
have much of the comparatively easy
work completed long before the heavy
work could be finished. The compile
ton of the line would of course be
delayed until the heavy work could be
DONE"
Mr.. Watts then explained that it
was necessary to work from the ends of
the line first in order that rails could be
put down for the pupose of hauling in
the supplies for the interior work. In
his opinion the line will be completed in
as short time as if there had been no
financial stringency.
From Oroville up along the Feather
river as far as the point where Spanish
creek is crossed by the Western Pacific
line there are approximately 1 200 men
at work. This covers two divisions, the
first extending u distance of eighty four
miles out of Oroville and the other from
that point to the Feather creek crossing.
On the Sierra division which extends
from fhe Feather creek crossing to
Beckwith pass, some $50 men are en-
gagged at grade work and on the Hum
boldt division, which runs from Deep
Hole to Deeth, Nevada, $50 men
are kept busy. On the Salt Lake or
Utah division in the neighborhood of
400 men are working on the grade and
between 10 and 100 are doing riprap
work along the lake section.
One of the most difficult sections of
the line is the first one east from Orc
Vile. Ten tunnels have been completed
and these range from 200 to 1880 feet
in length and work is being pushed on
sixteen additional tunnels. Thirty-five
miles of the road in this particular ter
ritory will cost the company more than
100000 mile. The road here is hewn
through almost solid rock and it is said
that the gangs have used 1000, 900
pounds of dynamite and other high
explosive to tear enough of the hillsides
away to permit the laying of the line
