THE RELATION OF WASTE TC
 Xa- A.~rS

W A6fS.
 Van Norden's Magazine for June tells suggestive story we'll worth the attention of both employers and em, ployes, trades unions and business mems associations. It is Il story ot cooperation between railway eompa- nies and their employees for the pur- pose of saving waste, and shows how much oe-al eratioa made almost.w .whol- ly good the loss in revenues through the business depte> sion and thus avoid ed the necessity for cut in wages |, hnt the same system of cooperation is applicable, to greafer or less extent. in all kindS of industries
 By reason of the reduction in tra fife following the October panic in Ghca- go, the St Paul X Omaha railroad found its gross rece pts ior November short hy sl60, 0oo, neeessitating cut in wages unless the loss could he made good by other economies in eNpeudi- lures. General Manager Trenholm laid the situation before the officers of the different railway nrotherhoods, mass meetings of all the employ yes were held, the situation was discussed in all it's phases, ways and means We're suggested whereby waste could be saved in the different departments, and all classes of employees earnestly joined in work on the success ot which depended the prevention of the general cut in wages. At another meeting in March the general mana ger of the road reported that although the gross earnings of the company for January had fallen off $l77, coo, all but sl0, 0000 of this loss had been re- coupenl by savings in waste, S3S, GOO Of which was on coal alone; while the operating expenses for February had hy the same econom ies been lessened sl50. coo. The Chicago X Northwest ern lines west of the Missouri-ac- eording to the same authority-have. in cooperation with ther employees, since entered upon similar waste saving campaign, with substantially ] the same results.
 Two things are emphasized by the foregoing. First-The importance of the smal' as well as the large econo- mics in great business undertakings. Second importance in order to effect such economies. of an inteili- gent, loyal and thoroughly organized body of employees, systematically working, individually and collective 1 Y. under the spur of enlightened self interest. for the common benefit of hoth themselves and the employing corporation. But for such organiza- tions as the different railroad brother hoods-engineers. conductors. firemen. brakemen, yardmen, etc. mo such waste and wage saving cooperative economies would have been practica- ! pie.

The announcement by Judge Jsme. Wickersham ol his own candidacy for deiegate in Congress does not appear to have aroused the iaintest ripple of interest in this immediate section oi Aiakss. It may however be said that there is some little curiosity mani- tested as to whose candidate he is, and upon what ground, if any, he bases his claim for support.

BREWER ON INLrNcTIONS.

AS might have been foreseen, Just ice Brewer, of the Federal Supreme Court. is not very well pleased with
 the anti-injunction plank in the National Republican platform. It is
 an exceedingly mild plank, as in-
 offensive IS a suckling dove, but Mr. Brewer does not like 1t. He laments, somewhat fataously, that the injunc-
 tion question has been dragged into politics. as if anything under heaven
 that affects the lives and ioftunes ol men could escape being dragged into politics in this country. Votes have been given us for the purpose Of drag ging things into politics and getting
 them settled justly hy the process of argumeutative contention. To this dis agreeable circumstance Judge Brewer
 must reconcile his soul the best he
 can. Probably it will he difficult for him, since his views of the power and the prestige Of judges are exalted. IL
 as ne who said some time ago in
 speech that the Supreme Court was
 above the President and Congress.
 thus differing from the Constitutions
 which makes the three departments coordinate.
 Concerning injunctions Mr. Brewer says that "the restraining power of the equity court is worth vastly more than the punishing power of the crim-
 nal court. Ii this means anything, it means that he would have the
 judges substitute their individual wiii
 for the law of the land. Their will might in many cases be better than the law. but the race to which We be- long mas struggled for many hundred years to escape from the rule of atbi- tfary power and it is not likely at this late day to reiinquish the fruits of the struggle. The seli-contradiction in- yoyed in Judge Brewers statement, is, of course, evident. The tres rain ing power' of the equity court must be also 'punishing power" or it amounts to nothing. Al that he could l accomplish if he had his way would | be to substitute one punishing power for another, the Punisiling power Of single iudgeawho would accuse, try, condemn and sentence, for that of the ordinary law where a man is tried by q jury. The whole gist of the iniunc- ton rage ia to aboli ,h jury trials in q class of cases. Oregonian.

 The change from the old relations of employers and servants, says the OutiooS, is only partially effected and good deal ot the human relationship has unfortunately dropped out in the transition. Under the old order, com ] ing down from feudal times, there was sense of personal obligation from the employer te the employe and vice versa. Master and man and mistress and maid were honrd togeth- er hy human ties. Nowadays there

Questions You Must Tell When You Gel
Married.

Are you thinking of getting
married? If you are you must
post up for you will have to
answer lot of questions. These
are in addition to the usual queS-
tionS asked you by the probate
Judge when you get the license.
These are sent out by the State
board of health and the answers
must be returned to it. It is
presumed that the state board of
health was created to gather
vital statistics. A prize should
be offered to anybody finding
any question in the list the an
swer to which would come with
in the meaning vital" statistics
excepting under the jokesmith' S
proposition that all marriage is
at least vital if not fatal
These are not asked by the
man who issues you the license
to marry but the man who com
mitS the ceremony.
You must tell him your name
and the maiden name of your
bride; the name of your father
and the name of hers; the maid
name of your mother and the
maiden name of hers; your age
and hers, your color and hers;
your residence and hers; what
you do for a living. and what she
does for living the date of your
marriage and by whom you were
married: were you married be-
fore and how often; was she ever
married before and how often
Well that's about all, excepting
the signature of the probate
Judge before the blank goes to
the health board.
And, by the way, there is an
other thing that maybe you
didn't know: You don't have
to get married in the county
you get your icence in. Just so
you get married in the same
state, it's all right.

success. The articles were
priced and placed on private sale

prize given to the lady securing
the largest number of names.
This honor went to Mrs. B. S.

$4,000 from the names and when
the quilt was sold at auction it

Now 1 suppose" says Squire
Thrifty, that because the
daughter of w. J. Bryan has
made a fool of herself and mar
ried a worthless man with a
smooth tongue and a handsome
mustache, we will hear of lot of
girls pointing to her as an excuse
for like conduct. Ruth's case is
different from the money-proud
female dubS who marry titles.
She was no heireSS. Just a fool
girl who defed the councils of
her parents and married a rake
because she thought she loved
him. Human nature is alike in
rich and poor, high and low, and
thousands of silly girls have
done the same thing. 1t is also
human nature to ape. and no
doubt many girls will persist in
marrying men against the wishes
of parents, and the fear of conse-

LOCAL FINANCIAL GOSSIP.

Transactions on the Washington Stock
Exchange yesterday amounted to five 25-
share lots Of Washington Gas and one
5-share lot OF Mergenthaler. The Gas
sold AT 6is and the Mergenthaler at 1914.
There was a good deal of bidding upon
most of the public utility shares, as well
as the bonds, but none Of either. beside
the Gas shares were forthcoming.
Some of the brokers were predicting
higher figures for all these stocks yester-
day, and this reason was assigned by one
member OF the exchange for the small
amount of business done. This broker
was of the opinion that the fear OF hostile
legislation by Congress would soon be
over for this year, and then values would
come back TO the intrinsic worth Of the
securities.
