THE REVIVING INDUSTRIES.

From Pittsburg, the center of the
iron and steel manufacturing indus
try, come encouraging reports of a
general resumption of business, in re-
Spouse to orders booked for delivery
early in the coming year. The reports
show that in many lines, in spite of
the depression Of the earlier half OF
the year, the production has been con-
siderably in excess of that of 1907.
The tonnage of structural steel. tin
plates and wire has beer considerably
larger than in 1904 and the only loss
in the industry has been in steel rails
and steel plates. This is considered
particularly gratifying, as the earlier
part Of 1907 was a boom period in all
of the industries.
The tin plate trade is reviving rap
idly, all of the plants having resumed
operations with full forces. In the
rail mills orders have been placed by
railroads that promise practically full
time and full capacity operation, be-
ginning with the new year. The
Pressed Steel Car company has orders
for 5000 cars, booked since the cleo
ton. and one firm at Erie has orders
for $50 boilers. The locomotive works
at Philadelphia, Schenectady and
Richmond have resumed operations,
and all indications are that the new
year will find every branch of the steel
and iron industries operating at full

Nashville American.
If she could talk in public,
Proclaim things in a hall
The way she talks in private,
Sey, wouldn't men look small?
Denver curtain lectures
To voters from the stump.
Then wouldn't man, the marvel,
Look like a shriveled Chump?
If she could rise in meeting
And there lay down the law
AS when in home contentious
She agitates her jaw.
She'd make in just "A minute
Important noisy gents
Look as they sat and listened
Like less than thirty cents.
For there is something doing
In language, less or more,
quite pointed and emphatic
When mother takes the floor.
And i'm the family circle
No n attempts TO scott
When she informs each member
Where he or she gets off.
SO If In public places
To argify she rose
And to affirm some question
Then woe be to the noes
Provided she was feeling
Quite well and in the form
She uses on the homefolks
To quell a family storm.

A Lincoln newspaper has dug up a
letter alleged to have been written by
A. C. Shallenberger during the last
campaign, In which the then candidate
for governor pledges himself to sign
a county option bill, If such be passed
by the legislature. This is merely
supporting the charge made by The
Bee again and again during the cam
paign that Mr.. ~Shallenberger was
promising one thing in one part of the
state and another in another, and it is
going to take considerable diplomatic
m%aneuvering on the part of the in
coming governor to redeem both his
pledges.

RoBBIYG THE POsTOFFICES.

The stealing of S1S,0 zoe worth of
stamps and currency from an Indiana
postofice serves to call attention to
the report Of the Postal department.
showing that this kind of thievery has
been growing rapidly for a number OF
years, N spite of the most determined
efforts OF the secret service to stamp
it out. During the last year there
were 1902 such robberies, an increase
of 23l over the preceding year. The
government assumed losses by rob-
berry of postage stamps amounting to
$72, 1884; postal funds, s15,627, and
money order funds, $12,71l, a total
of about $1O2 600.
In the course of the year 372 post
office burglars were arrested and all
but a half dozen were convicted. The
government never leases its pursuit of
these thieves. who are mostly profess
SIGNALS and make a speciality of rob-
bling postofices. One feature of the
case, always puzzling to the govern
ment officials, is the readiness with
which business men in high standing
will purchase hundreds of dollars
worth of stamps from persons not con
nected with the postal service, and
without either asking questions OF re-
porting to the authorities. These
stamps are necessarily sold through a
fence" and at a liberal discount, and
the government secret service men
contend, with some show of reason,
that merchants who buy their stamps

President Roosevelt has again met
the enemy and they are his'n-by a
considerable majority. think it was
by vote OF 10, to 81 that the late
National Live Stock convention held
in Denver endorsed his policy OF
leasing the grazing lands that the
people OF the nation still hold IN
their possession. II wasn't a packed
convention like that which few
great cattle range interests fixed mp
to settle the same question last sum
mer. and came so near making their
scheme work.
But the most important thing about
the Presidents success a the late
convention is that he is on the right
trail. Victory is . particularly good
thing when il is victory for the
right-and the equal right Of the
little stockman and the home maker
on these western plains and noun
tain valleys with the great land and
cattle companies. who with their am
pie resources override and ride down
all the small fry in the same busi-
ness is unquestionably victory in
keeping with the prime tenet OF the
Declaration of Independence - an
equal right to life. liberty and the
pursui, OF happiness 'nnditions
turn upon every mans equal chance
with every other man to get his sub
sistcncc out of the eafth's surface.
Being on the right trail. the inter
esting question is whether the Pres
ident has got his bearings and will
follow il up. He has begun At the
large end OF the economic problem OF
equality Of opportunity. and whether
he will stop there or 20 on, to its last
analysis by its application to other
interests than cattle grazing remains
TO be seen.
The simple economic truth is that
IL il promotes justice among stock
men great and small to give them ae-
cess to the essential basis Of cattle
raising-the land-on just and equal
terms, without reference TO the
amount Of capital or political pull
they may control. Il will do the same
for every other interest. for the rea-
son that there is in the last analysis
10 other basis or source Of wealth
except land. That proposition IS 50
plain that the wayfaring man though
not a eow-puncher ought not to err
in seeing IL.
