ANARCHY.

1t seems pretty we'll settled that
anarchists killed the King of Portugal
and the Crown Prince. They also
assassinated Alexander II. of Russia
and King Hun1bert of Italy. Not
content with thus expressing their
hatred of monarchies, they came over
the ocean and destroyed President
Mckinley as they had President Gar
field Republics and >monarchies alike
fall under the ban of their murderous
hatred.
Thus and truly, reasons the Wash
ington Post. But it must be remem-
bered that the good people who are
horrifed, by the horrible deeds of the
anarchists often aid in producing the
conditions which enable the anarch-
lists to carry out their designs. Every
man who defends the killing, unlaw-
fully, of human being is IN ally of
the anarchist. Every newspaper
which justi6es lyncling in the South
is lending the anarchist aid and COM
fort. Every politician who favors
the 'unwritten law favors the verv
law which the anarchist executes.
And, finally, every individual who at.
tempts to obstruct the enjoyment OF
life, liberty and the pursuit of hap
piness by the humblcst of his fellows
has within him the germ Of anarchy.

NOW, WHAT DO YOU THINK
OF THAT?"

Chicago has taken the lead in di-
rection which all law and order ad-
vocates will favor and which we
would like to see extend all over the
country as the "lid' movement has.
This week the Board of Aldermen
voted favorably upon three ordi-
nances designed to put an end to the
carrying OF deadly weapons.
One of the ordinances obligates the
city custodian every six months to
take all weapons that come into his
possession and dump them into the
lake at least five miles from shore.
Another ordinance requires dealers
III weapons to pay license of $50 d
year, and the third forbids ANYBODY
to carry a weapon unless he is a
sheriff, constable, policeman or cor
oner
Even persons with collections of
weapons-frearms and swords or
daggers, antique or modern-1nust
take out a license under these new
ordinances.
The new ordinance places the ban
on these weapons: Pistols, bowie
knives, metal knuck1es, revolvers,
dlrks, derringers, slungshots.
There is no provision against rifles,

PORTUGAL.

The little old rotten borough OF
Portugal seems to be going to 'the
demnition bow-wows.' The king and
his eldest son having been killed by
long suffering people, the boss
Franco being put to flight and the
general condition being one of double,
double toll and trouble While the
other rulers have gone through with
the usual conventonalities, we fail to
see that the status quo has cast much
gloom either at home or abroad. By
their horrible cruelties in Africa, es-
pecially on the Cocoas Islands, the
Portuguese seem to have been heap
ing up wrath unto the day of wrath,
which has come upon them. "God's
dice are always loaded" says the old
Greek dramatist.

rails and these also have had a bene-
fetal effect upon the life of the ties.
From tests which have been made
during the past few months by the
Santa Fe tests department 1t has been
found that the spike which is COM
monty employed for securing the rail-
to the ties, distorts the fiber of the
wood and in this manner leaves room
for the tie to deteriorate right in the
heart of the tie where the spike is
fastened.
A screw spike, however, in no way
impairs the fiber of the wood. The
screw spike, however, has failed to
receive much consideration from
railroad men on account Of the extra
amount of trouble and time involved
in placing screw spikes in the ties.
The work could not be satisfactorily
done by hand. It is for this purpose
that Mr.. Jacobs has devised his au-
tra-kah at the suggestion of Mr.. Rex,
of the tie and timber department.
This machine, is, in appearance, well
avis seat. 1t is driven by a two-cylinder
opposed automobile type gasoline engine
of u horse power. Speeds of from to 40
miles an hour ahead and 10 miles an hour
weighs only AS pounds and can therefore
be easily lifted off the track to pass a
track laying a flexible shaft running to
a special gear box drives high speed
drill for drilling holes in the ties while a
telescope shaft from the other end of the
car runs a special reduction gear and
clutch for driving spikes. The method of
operation is for one man to go ahead,
drill the holes and start the spikes, while
the other man follow the car and screws
in the spikes. the friction clutch on the
spike driver Is set so as to release when
the head of the spike sets hard against
the nail and thus avoid roaming out the
hole A special jig which slips along the
rail automatically spaces the holes in the
ties. Two men with this machine are able
to put in the spikes faster than the ordi-
nary sized section gang can place the ties.
An automatic tamping device is being
constructed and will soon be placed on the
car
All those who witnessed the test yester-
day were highly pleased and phcphesfed
a bright future for the new invention.
