Official announcement has been
made from the main Offices of the
Southern Pacific railroad in San

struct a railroad from Mojave to

Los Angeles Express.
AS a matter of fact, construction
work is now we'll under way out of
Mojave and the section extending to
Jawbone canyon win be completed
and ready to receive traffic within
sixty days.
That the railroad would build the

the board of public works recently
awarded it the contract for transport
ing all supplies and materials for the
aqueduct into the Owens valley
There is no railroad farther north
than Tehachapi or farther south than
Keller at the present time.
The railroad officials have announc'
ed that the narrow gauge road now
in operation from Tonopah Junction
in Nevada, south to Keller, will
eventually be converted into a broad
gauge road. Later the new Owens
Valley road will be used as a cutoff
for freight and passengers travelling

NEW YORK, April Solomon

working in dyeing establishment,
was given verdict of $4,000 dam
ages in Justice Guys department of
the Supreme Court, in his suit
against julius Benjamin, Christian
Science healer, whom the plaintiff
blamed for the loss of his left leg.
Raisler went to Benjamin to be
treated for a sore toe. He under
stood, he testified, that Benjamin was
regular doctor. The inflamed toe
got worse, and at the end of three
months another doctor, licensed
surgeon, found it necessary to ampu-
tate the limb below the knee. Ben
jamin charged SO for the first exam
ination, and 81 each for the daily
visits for two months.
BENJAMIN was listed in the city
directory for years as physician,
but in his answer he denied he ever
held himself out to be a regular ply
stefan, and said the only methods he
employed to cure Raisler were thos;
of the Christian Science cult. He be
lieved in the efficacy of prayer, and
sought to heal Raisler by praying
Raisler testified that Benjamin gave
him some medicine.

JAMES w. MI RPHY FOR
CENGR l. 5 $.

While several candidates are active
in their efforts TO secure the Repuoll-
can nomination for representative in
congress for the third district OF Wis
consin, many Republicans express
themselves as favorable to the return
of Congressman Murphy; and be Is
the accepted and unanimous choice OF
all Democrats and Independents.
Mr.. Murphy stands now, as he
stood two years ago, for a return to
representative government, under
which equal rights to all, and special
privileges to none, should be con-
trolling principles. His election in
1906 restored to the people OF south
western Wisconsin confidence IN
representative government; and his
reelection this year would further
establish and make permanent that
confidence in the peoples determine
tion TO rightly govern themselves and
manage the affairs of state.
There is at this time, however, an
additional and very strong reason for
Mr.. Murphy's election. For new
member, he has made an excellent
record; and reflect him and he will be
a commanding figure in national poll
tics, and a power for good in natl
onal legislation. The next house OF
representatives is going to be Demo
cratic; and as a member of that body
Mr.. Murphy's opportunities would be
great indeed.
While, as a rule, it is not safe to
forecast political events, there is
very little probability indeed that the
country will give a vote OF confidence
to Speaker Cannon and those Repub-
lican members who, as chOreboys,
served his will and pleasure in the
sixtieth congress. That the reaction
aries, or stand patters, who are
obstructing the will of the people, be
driven out of power is a matter OF far
greater Importance than any mere
partisan question. This is now the
paramount issue in congressional pol
itics and upon this issue James w.
Murphy is truly and eminently repre-
sentative of the people of southwest
ern Wisconsin. Let him be returned.

Over 1000 Summer Students.

Over 1000 students, the largest en-
the state uniYersity's summer ses-
sions, are now attending classes in the
various colleges and in the school for
artisans of the University of Wiscon-
sin. This is nearly double the enroll
ment of last year, which was 66l and
which was, in turn, the largest record
for attendance up to that time, being
nearly 100 more than the year prev
ious. The academic courses for en-
gineers, given this year for the first
time in summer classes in the engin-
eering college, have attracted many
young men anxious to prepare them
selves more thoroughly for their pro-
fession, as have also the unusual ad-
vantages offered in the school for
artisans. The college of law is hold
ing it's second summer session, and
large numbers of students are taking
work in the various courses in the
tenth summer session of the college OF
letters and science. The college of
agriculture, the college of medicine,
and the dairy school are also offering
summer work. Large numbers OF
graduate students have been attracted
by the coincidence of the university
summer session with the National
Summer School of the American Eth
cal Union, held in Madison this year.
1t is estimated that when the complete
statistical report of attendance is
made out by the university registrar
at the close of the summer session,
there will be over 1000 summer stud
euts enrolled.

UNTITLED LANDS.

That so many people should be out
OF employment in a country where
there are millions of rich uncultisated
land is fact greatly to be deplored.
But such Is the condition in the
United States today. Millions OF
men in the larger cities are idle, not
because they do not want to work, but
because there is no work at hand to
do. Thousands have crowded to
manufacturing centers who should
never have abandoned agricultural
pursuits, and hence the condition
complained of. In a thoughtful edi-
torial article The Milwaukee Journal
of recent date thus dwells upon the
cause OF so many people being idle:
''In this free country, with univer-
sal education, with the richest natural
resources in the world, needing only
development by means OF labor and
capital to produce wealth enough to
lift the entire population above want,
the fact remains that the numbers of
the able-bodied poor are very great,
and the condition is not confined to
hard times.
TEN million people An eighth of
the entire population-are IN a condi-
tion of what may be considered ex-
treme want.
"Yet it is stated on good statistical
authority that within a hundred miles
of New York city, where there is a
very large poverty stricken popula-
ton, there are hundreds of abandoned
farms with thousands of acres of idle
land.
mot only is this true, but within
the territory named there are allowed
to go to waste each year thousands of
bushels of apples, garden stuff and
other produce, much of it being left to
rot on the ground.
Something like this can be said of
every city where unemployed people
are found in large numbers.
'It all the unemployed people who
could get work in the cities, If they
wanted it, were earning wages, and if
all who cannot find employment in the
cities would seek it in the country,
there would be q decided decrease in
poverty, not only in hard times
period but at all periods.
THE marvellous possibilities of the
millions of acres of vacant land in
this country are only beginning to be
realized. Intensive farming is max
ing land wonderfully productive to
all who will bring intelligence and
energy to bear upon it.
THE world never yet had too much
to eat and wear and provide shelter.
There can be no no overproduct-
ion in this line as long as there is
left hungry mouth or a ragged
back.
The Journal is right. There can be
no overproduction Of things to eat
and wear las long as there is left 3
hungry mouth or a ragged back" The
truth cannot too often brought home
to the people that the untitled lands
of the country afford great opportu-
mites for the unemployed.
