Wrecked Wild West Show.

Dispatches from western Pennsyl-
vania, eastern Ohio and West Virginia
report damage from two severe storms
amounting to over 100000. Ten per-
sons were injured, none fatally. The
first storm centered about Buffalo
Bills wild west show. AS thousands
of persons were pouring into the big
tent the wind struck the canvas. The
poles were blown down and the can
vas collapsed, demolishing a section
of the seats. A serious panic seemed
inevitable. Colonel Cody ordered the
band to play my Country, IT'S of
Thee" which tended to quiet the
crowd. Two persons were injured

men won great victory over the rail-
roads when the interstate commerce
commission at Washington, d. c.,
handed down decision which orders
the railroads to restore rates that
were in effect prior to November 1,
1907, on shipments from Coast points
to large part of the eastern markets.
In another decision the court orders
the railroads to make rates on lumber
shipped from the Spokane country
that will be lower than the Coast

The railroads last November ad-
vanced lumber rates from 20 to 25 per
cent. The lumbermen resisted the ad-

tai, said:
II feel that the country is indeed to
be congratulated upon the nomination
mately for many years and l have a
peculiar feeling for him, because
throughout that time we worked for
the same object, with the same pur-
poses and ideas. do not believe there
could be found in all the country man
so we'll fitted to be president. He is
not only absolutely fearless, absolutely
disinterested and upright, but he has
the widest acquaintance of the nations
needs without and within, and the
broadcast sympathy with all our citi-
zens. He would be emphatically a
president of the plain people, as much
so as Lincoln, yet not Lincoln himself
would be freer from the least faint of
demagoguery the least tendency to
arouse or to appeal to class hatred Of
any kind.
HE has peculiar and intimate
knowledge Of and sympathy with the
needs of all our people-of the farmer,
of the wage worker, of the business
man, of the property owner. No mat
ter what mans occupation or social
position; no matter what his creed, his
color or the section of the country from
which he comes, If he is an honest,
Woodworking man, who tries to do his
duty toward his neighbor and toward
the country, he can rest assured that
he will have in Mr.. Taft the most up
right of representatives and the most
fearless of champions. Mr.. Taft stands
against privilege and he stands preemi-
nently for the broad principles of
American citizenship which lie at the
foundation of our national we'll being"

HOW THE WAGE SCHEDULES VARY

80, 167, or "a per cent were children
receiving $Sl2,O2S per week Thus
the average child worker received
only SS.46 a week, as contrasted with
the mans average earnings of $11.16
and the woman's of $6.17.
In cotton mills, children earn only
1921 per week, on an average; in to-
bacco factories-the earnings were still
lower, the average being only SO a
week, while in pickle factories the
average was only $1.S4 a week.
In connection with the cotton in
dustry, the census office makes an
interesting comparison of the earn
ings in the north and those in the
south. By combining the comparison
establishments engaged in the manu-
facture of print cloths, it eliminates
to a considerable extent the differ
ences between the character of the
industry in the two sections, and thus
presents a fair basis to measure diff
ferences in earnings.
This comparison shows that the
average earnings of men were, in
New England SS,52 in the south
$5.14. For women the average was,
in New England 1928; in the south
$S.77; while for children the aver
age, in New England was $4.45, and
in the south $2.73.
For all classes OF cotton operatives
the average weekly earnings in the
north were $7.62 as contrasted with
but $6,16 in the south.
One of the most striking conclu-
sions inferred by the census report
on this subject is that the figures in
dicate that the differences in average
earnings between large and small es-
adjustments are Slight In those en-
ploying less than 10 wageearners or
more, 1t was $10.24.

A Washington dispatch says of the
comparative wages paid labor in diff
ferent sections of the United States:
The frontier west has disappeared,
land new west has been born, never
theless 1t would appear that 1t holds
out greater inducements to the wage
Garner of today than any other Sec
tion of the United States.
The western man or woman who is
employed In a manufacturing estab-
lishment receives a much greater
compensation than his fellow work.
men elsewhere, according to a state
ment issued today by the census
bureau. The average per week
throughout the west is 1885 as
against $1063 in the central north
states; $10.11 in the north Atlantic;
$3.50 in the south central, and $7.31
in the south Atlantic.
Ten dollars is the average weekly
wage throughout the country. Some
trades average double this amount
diamond cutters earn $21.6S per week
and, on the other hand the ignor-
ant, illiterate workers in the turpen-
tine industry, those who gather the
crude gum, receive only an average
of $5.23 a week. Workers in the
cotton seed oil and cake industry re-
ceive on an average only 1864 a
week -
Both of these last two classes are
largely employed in the south, and
their poor compensation emphasizes
the fact that the southern workman
receives less than his brother crafts
men anywhere else in the country
The census bureau explains the law
average in measure by directing
attention to the comparatively recent
development OF the factory system
and the large percentage of women
and children and negores employed.
In all statistics which the bureau
has compiled, including .123,7O3 es-
adjustments and S,297S1s wage

far less than men. In the cotton
