GIVES JOB TO MARRIED MAN
One of Two Railroaders Had ts Go. So the Mau Who Had None De-
 pendent on Him Volunteers.

From Arkansas Gazette
 Your cheap cynic received T cruel jolt the other day when an unmarried Little Rock railroad man gave up desirable job to comrade with wife and child, whom he thought was in greater need of it. In these days when ''retrenchment' Is the word most used in railroad circles and jobs are not so easy 10 be had as duns, the degree of such sacrifice IS correspondiugly advanced.
 A beh,si from on high had de- creed that one of the two must go, and that was the way their boss put it up to them. Unhesi- tatingly and without any pose of noblesse oblige. this prince in sleeve guards said with a laugh that had a queer catch in if:
 Well, cid man, you stay. It'Il be healthier for the wife and kid- die. I've got two or three hun dred hid away in my china pig, so I'm in little better shape for a job-hunt than you-so long,

HINEMON TALKS.
Warns His Supporters Against Un- warranted Claims Made by Dona-
 ghey and Davis Kirby.

My attention has been called to the arrog boast of Mir. George w. Donaghey to the effect thai he will carry sixty counties in the state Amazing lnodesty. Why didn't he claim all the coun- ties and be generous about it?
 Not content with the noise made by his trumpeters and the beating If tomtoms by his men, he has to convince himself that he IS candidate of great strength by adding his own voice to the babel of noises he has created. To tell the trulh, hc knows about as mech in regard to his realsupport as the people do about his attitude on the question of fstate-wide pro- hibltiou, on which question he has maintained silence as success fully as he has avoided meeting either of his opponents at any time iu joint discussion.
 Senator Davis, too, has at- tempted to divert attention by proclaiming that the contest is between his immediate representa- tive, Mr. Kirby, and his erstwhile friend and follower, Mir. Dona- ghey.
 Both of them know that l am the candidate who has revealed strength in every township in the state. That my supporters are made up of the quiet and con- servative men in the state who have scant patience with the methods of my opponents in which all sorts or charges and counter-charges are made with no serious attempt 10 answer or disprove any of them, and that there is no hope for either of them except in an attempt 10 divert some of my friends to some other candid lte.
 These methods will not sue ceed. The people have become tsmlliar with the methods prac. ticNd by the trained politicians anu are not deceived by the pratt ing of camp followers who hope to profit by the success Of a cer lam candidate or the rawlings oi heI chmen who make II their ti-de 10 how. tor any man who is willing to present certain silent but persuasive influences tor sup lort.
 The people are tired of the Nrans iiug ana turmoil uf recent campaigns. They want man whose backing does not consist of political rings and intrigues, but who stands in opposition to all their influences aud who re- lies for support upon those citi- zens who believe in sobriety, law, order and fidelity Tn the discharge ot public duty. In this class confidently look for a triumphant nominaiiou, and I warn my friends to give no heed to the wild claims of my opponents.

FOOTBALL WEAK
IN THE West
Game There Has Not Been
Brought TO Perfection
Yet

The Invasion OF the West by Eastern
teams IN recent years has brought the
wild and woody section OF the country TO
realize that they have failed TO bring out
the same finished football product that
has visited them from the East Michigan.
Chicago and other western colleges have
turned out strong, hard playing teams
that looked to he the best in The land
until they met their Eastern rivals. Two
years ago Michigan came TO philadel-
phia and was swamped. Last year Penn
went 10 Michigan, and although winning
the game only 6 10 o, really outpaycd
Michigan. Tho Westcmers stn think the
score was really TO 6, but they are
willing TO admit that Michigan was de-
sorvodly beaten by a team playing a more
finished g57ne OF football The visit OF the
Indians last year is not forgotten.
Western writer's are already drawing
comparisons between the East and West

LABOR UNIONS CRITICIZED.
Correspondent Writes Letter to Gov
crnor Cutler ON the Subject.

a correspondent signing himself IA
Friend Of the American Boy has
written to Governor Cutler an ex-
preston OF views relative to the atti-
tudc of labor unions in the matter of
the number of apprentices to any
given trade. The writer states that
the subject is of vital interest TO
every young man in the states who
would like TO learn a trade and can
not do so, because of the limitations
placed in the way by the action of
trades unions Every mechanic in the
| country can not help but see that such
| limitations stand as barriers TO the wei
fare of his own son. but also to gem
erations which follow"
The writer, a New Yorker, encloses
an excerpt from a statement by Adj
niral George w Melville concerning
the Brazilian naval contract, as fol-
lows:
Because the labor unions will not
let a skilled workman teach his trade
to his own son. is the reason the Unit
ed Staets lost the $4,000. 900 contract
for ships for the Brazilian navy. We
have the best steel and iron in
AAAN NhiAA IlSnl At4H. w Y HaNb
the timber which England must i'm
port, but because the labor unions have
put their restrictions on the number of
apprentices skilled labor has become
so scarce In the United States that ir
cost 40 per cent more to build ship
in America than it does In Great Brit
ain or Germany. No greater travesty
on American freedom exists than this
robb!ng OF the young American of his
birthright TO work at the trade he
chooses. Nothing to my mind is so un-
American as TO deprive a boy OF his
right TO learn trade or man OF his
right to teach It. Nothing is so dan
gerous 10 our manufacturing suprem-
acy.
ITO this pernicious practise of limit
ing and restricting apprenticeship, | at
tribute the loss of this great contract
The labor unions want 10 raise wages
by reducing the number OF workmen.
Gompers and his allies have
constructed boomerang which
has come back and hit labor at
q very lnopportune time. During this
period of financial depression, $780,
100000 contract would have been n great
boon TO American mechanics. ! see
future for this country similar to that
guilds IN the towns became so strong
and domincering that the nobility could
not invest its capital. Soon tho labor
unions VIII keep the capitalist from in
YestlnB IN railroads mine or manu-
factory. A. the bottom OF it all is the
restriction of the number OF apron
tees. What should the United States
do to make sure OF the next ship from
chill or Peru or Argentine7
EVERY state should pass n law pro-
hibiting restrictions by trades unions
OF the number Of apprentices ana the
United states government should admit
all skilled workmen. Then we viii he-
come the ship-building country of tho
world, because We have the steel, tho
timber, the men Of Drawn and tho
lnen OF brains"
