According to the Berkley 1ndepend-

last year, 5,5s7 men were discharged
for stealing pfckels. There were an
average Of 5000 conductors, so that
an equivalent of double the force was
discharged. i &s -"
1t is pitifu1sand amazing spectacle.
These men collect millions Of dollars

paid 20 centsEsan hour, or $2.4O for IL

But the. company groans* and says
the 5,587 men stole nickels. T..
What is the explanation? In the
first place the method Of collecting
street car, fares is stupid and wrong.
The temptation offered the poorly paid
men is altogether too great. Only re-
Gently have attempts been made to
improve matters by such devices as
'pay as you enter cars: -
But let us see what example the
New York Street Railway company
itself set to its men in the way Of
honesty and morality. This is the
company exploited by William c.
Whitney and Thomas F. Ryan.

swindled and ruined by false repre-

No corporation in the United States

And this is the company that COM

There is not the slightest excuse for
dishonest conductors who will claim
that they were inspired to steal nick
els by the successful thefts of millions
Of dollars, but it is something OF an
explanation. .~.,.S.
Moral disease is pestilence. It is
catching. These men worked in an
atmosphere Of grab, and the city

NEW YORK, July '15.-In Mines
and Minerals Edward w. Parker, OF
the United States Geological Survey,
estimates the country's annual produc-
tion of coal as far forward as the year
2055. BY that time, according to the
records up to date, the United States
will be using more than two billion
tons year-2,30 100000, to. be nearer
exact. The average annual produc-
tion during the decade from 1916 to
1925 will be about 600,O00,O0O tons. The
total production in 1907 was 0,450,04s
tons.
The geologist prophesies that future
generations will have so far DEVELOPED
methods of subduing and utilizing
other forces of nature that the need OF
coal for the production of heat, light
and power will, to great extent, have
been eliminated" Until these other
natural forces are subdued, however, II
appears that there will be enough coal
to supply the nation.
Mr.. Parker calls attention to the
rapid consumption of anthracite and
to the fact that the cost Of mining IL
has increased.

1T must be remembered that, with the
advances in sympathy with. the gen

there is the additional fact that the

LEADER WHOSE HONESTY
NEVER WAS IMPUaNED


:Ignatius J.. Dunn, assistant city at
-torney Of Omaha, Neb., in placing in I
nomination., .at the Denver convention,
the name Of the man whose wisdom
had been proven In the crucible Of the
years, the Democrat ideal, William
Jennings Bryan, for. president Of the
United States, spoke as follows;
The lntroduction.
Mr.. Chairman, and Gentlemen Of the
Convention: Crises arise in the Nfe
Of nations (which endanger their insti-5
tutions, and, at times. imperil the ad
vance 5zof civilization. 2: Every people
that has left its impress upon history
has faced such crises. In most in-
stances where grave dangers have
threat tened the safety Of the state,
some great character, some master
mind has been found, produced as 1T
were by the conditions themselves.
with capacity to- direct Alright the en-
ergiess Of the people. This was true OF
the ancient world; it has been true. Of
the modern world; 1t Is true Of this
republic. We have such a crisis to
meet today. The favor seeking corpo-
rations have gradually strengthened
their hold upon the government until
they now menace popular Institutions.
~ The: question is, whether this gov-
ernment shall be restored to the con-
troll Of the people and be administered
in the interest Of all, or whether it
shall remain an instrument in the
hands Of the few: for levying tribute
upon all the rest: "a S= 81,
- Warning by Roosevelt.
In his, special message to: congress
last winter President Roosevelt de-
clared, substantially, that certain
wealthy men who have become enor-
mously rich by depressing the wage-
Garner, defrluding the public and
practicing all forms of iniquity, have
banded together, and by the unlimited
use OF money, endeavort TO secure free
dom from restraint and to over
and dfscredit all who honestly admin
lister the law. That the methods by
which these men have acquired their
great fortunes can only be justified by
a system Of morality, that would per
NIT every form Of criminality, every
form Of violence, corruption and fraud.
+ Republican Party's Rulers.
For many years, and especially dur
ing the last 12eyears, these very men
have been in control of the Republican
party; they have financed every cam
palgn Of that party for q quarter Of q
century. These expoiters Of the peo-
pie, whom the president has 50 scath-
ingly denounced, have given their en-
thusiastic support to the Republican
candidates and policies. -, ..

The evaporation down there is some thing fearful, but this must in a meas ure be neutralized by making the res ervoirs as deep as possible and not too large on the surface. The govern ment is investigating that question of evaporation now.
 In Illinois the farmer makes corn his crop. All else that the farm yields is in substance a by-product.
 In the south cotton is what corn is in Illinois or wheat in Minnesota.
 In Arizona the farmer will depend upon his dates. his figs, his oranges, his peaches. his prunes; while outside his one hundred acres of cacti will en- able him to keep a thousand head of cattle and a drove of a thousand tut keys as by-products. and if he will not be nearer up to date than any of his horny handed brothers in other states, he will at least have the dates.

Just north of the Sal ton sea the government has planted some dates and figs and is producing dates and figs equal to the very finest in the world and the calculation now is that within twenty years from this date all the dates consumed in the United States will be produced on our own soil. say 2O.OO0.00O pounds. or 10000 tons, annually.

 This is a very wonderful region.
