HON. DAVID BENNETT HlLL SICK.

HON. DAVID BENNETT HlLL SICK.
Hon. David B. Hill Of New York is
not on the stump for Bryan this fall.
The gentleman Is not well, 1t is stated
from sources that should be authorita-
tive.
Now everybody knows that the
proper time for 9 Democrat to be sick
is on the day after election.
The present indisposition of Mr..
Hill may be taken as evidence Of the
fact that he not only knows 4 thing
or two. but that, unlike i friend
Bryan, he adds to his store Of knowl
edge as he walks along life's broad
highway. for he is taking his sickness

Suppose the Democratic plank to
limit the sale Of goods at a fixed price
should be enacted into a law?
Who should suffer?
II the price Of coal, for example,

show would the coal miners, who are
now demanding nor pay, have for
getting the increased wage rate?
The mine owner would smile bland

WHAT N WOMAN DID.

1t is out of the west that the ideas
Of reform originate. Portland, Ore,
has a woman as a regular member
of its police force. She does not pa
troll a beat. She is not a member of
the detective department. Her duty
is not that of a matron.
She has been appointed to protect
women.
At first glance, it would seem that
one woman, without knowledge Of po-
lice affairs, would be seriously handi-
capepd. Such, however, is not the
case. The very knowledge the police
possess is an obstacle to their sue
cess in the rescue work which Mrs.
Lola Baldwin is carrying on. For
who would not help a woman-par-
ticularly when a good woman makes
the appeal.
This officer talked with every
woman who came into the Jail, and
she kept a careful record. Their his.
tory was traced backward, and in
nearly every case 1T was found that
women reached prison cells through
the doorway of saloons.
For years an attempt had been
made to keep women out Of the sa,
looms in Portland. After several
months of work, she made her re,
port to the city council, and SO clear
and concise, SO direct and true was
it, that an ordinance was passed that
not only prohibited women from en-
tering saloons, but that requires res
taurants and cafes to tear our pri
yate rooms and curtained boxes and
make every part TO the place visi
BILE.
The result was that the evil thai
the police had attempted to STAMP
out was eradicated within an hour.
The powers Of this woman grew
The police are required to aid her
and If they refuse, it is a very easy
matter to obtain the assistance Of
some one not connected with the force
and thereby put the regularly com
missioned policemen to shame.

responsibility by the efforts Of .

Now the statement is made that
Chaldean lands are to be reclaimed.
1T is a fact now generally known that
Chaldea, once the seat of civilization,
the home of art, and the cradle of
astronomy, was an irrigated coun-
try.
The rivers of that land run to the
sea through deep worn channels.
The ancients took canals out Of the
streams, and carried them ~laterally
over their ground. In time they ex.
tended and developed one of the finest
irrigation systems the world has ever
known.
The land was dotted with farms and
small towns everywhere. The country
was populous and prosperous to a de
gree never known before or since.
Investigations of the old canal
routes demonstrates that the men who
ran the lines of those bitches pos

Why then, one asks. was the sys

The answer is simple.

THE PEOPLE WOULD LIKE TO
KNOW.

HI veiw Of the fact that the crew
OF the freight train has been held
responsible for the wreck at Young's|
Point, it is not strange that the ques-
ton as to the responsibility the rail
way shares in the horror, arises.
Surely, a great corporation does not
intend to pass the blame to the men
who have been dismissed from their
positions.
And truly, the railroad company
does not expect to escape the just
censure of the public by that act.
What does it matter to the people
that these men are out of work?
How will their lack of employment
aid the bereaved?
1t will not bring the dead back to
the fresides Of loved ones.
It does not alleviate the suffering
of those in the hospital, who toss with
pain.
The stern fact remains that the COM
pany still continues to coop men up
in death traps, that roll up like q
scroll, and crush out life the instant
they are subjected to unusual VIC
lence
Who can say that another subj
lapse will not result in as many lives
perhaps more- being sacrificed to
corporate greed and short-sighted-
ness?
The railroad company exists through
the generously bestowed patronage Of
the public, and its reasonable service
is to exercise the same vigilance for
the safety of the passenger that it
exacts Of its employees. It is not
enough that it shall dismiss, and pos
sibly aid in prosecuting the men who
were lax, while the corporation itself
continues to neglect the common rules
Of safety by placing its passengers IN
jeopardy.
The railroad commission Of thi4
state may render a service If it will
come forward at this critical moment
and require that cars Of this type
shall be constructed of steel.
The commission should not be lulled
into the belief that the condition has
been remedied by the discharge OF
three or four men while these death.
traps are kept in service.
Will the commission act?
The people would like to know.
