st. Paul Coast Extension.

While track laying on the main line
of the Pacific coast extension of the
Milwaukee & st. Paul has been COM
pleted, much work still remains to be
done in the way of ballasting, etc., so
that it will be many months before any
attempt is made to begin the operation
of through passenger service. Local
service, both passenger and freight,
will be started in few months over
the new extension, but through traffic
will not be attempted until it has been
demonstrated by actual experience that
through trains can be run over the new
road expeditiously and with absolute
safety.
Perhaps there never has been road
built in which the original estimates of
cost and time required for construction
proved to be so nearly correct as in the
Chicago, Milwaukee & Puget Sound
road It's main line has been construct
ed, connected up and made ready for
operation for less than 100000, as
was originally estimated.
The shops of the company are run
ming full time, turning out freight cars
and locomotives. The shops at West
Milwaukee are building 80,000-pound
freight cars at the rate of AZ cars day.

Report of Health Officer.

EDGERToN, WIS, April 20, 1909.
To the Honorable Mayor and Common
Council:
During the last year there have been
fewer cases of contagious and infec-
tious diseases than in some previous
years. There were 10 cases of diphthe-
ria, of tuberculosis and l of typhoid.
Two of the above cases of tuberculosis
non-residents brought here by relatives
to care for them.
An effort has been made to keep the
garbage cleaned up better by requiring
garbage cans for business houses and
by having them cleaned more regularly.
During February the state called for
samples of our city water, and upon a
psychological examination reported
water very good and free from all
disease producing germs.
During the year 1908 there were 81
births, % deaths, q marriages.
l recommend that the city water
mains be extended as rapidly as posi-
BILE, and as early as possible to condemn
the use of wells in the city.
/ also recommend that in the business
districts all outhouses be condemned
and water closets ordered into the
buildings. Further that the health de-
partment be given power to inspect
and control the milk supply of the city
and all conditions pertaining to it, such
as the housing and care of cows and
the purity of the milk supply.
The usual routine work of this de-
partment and necessary reports to the
state board of health have been at
tended to.

PROVE APPLAUSE BY ACTION.

| Editor Advertiser: The admirable
| address of Rev. Charles F. Dole at the
| Commercial Club during the week met
with the expressed approval of the
members of the Merchants Associa.
ton present. 1t was a strong plea for
| the Golden Rule, and a square deal
! whereby all should have the right to
/ earn a living. How can those who ap-
| plauded the sentiments of the speak
| er square their conscience with their
| conduct. wherein they ask the Legis
| lature to pass the discriminating IL
! cense law known as House Bill No.
| 3S. with the avowed purpose of fore
| ing the small traders out of business,
| that the large firms may earn larger
| dividends for their stockholders?
Perhaps they think they will thus be
able to give more to Charity" Is
! it not about time there was more jus
tice in the business world? If there
were more justice there would be less
| need for charity. What good to listen
to an appeal for more fairness, and
applaud sentiments, when we do not
apply the teachings to our daily life?
If there is a single member of the
Merchants Association who was sin
cere in his approval of Rev. Dole's
address, let him show it by coming out
and asking for the withdrawal of this
bill, which is being put through the
Legislature at the behest of the asSo-
citation. Honest work is the need of
the day, not soft words and applause
A newcomer from the mainland
stated the other day: ut is very plain
to see that it is not settlers to make
homes and earn independent livings
that you are trying to get here, for
you only want laborers to work on
your plantations and men to become
tools for your industrial institutions,
not the independent American, who de-
ponds upon his own initiative and
energy to make a living, and build up
the country, for when any such come
here you discourage all his efforts to
get a foothold. I never was in coun-
try where there was SO little chance
for an Independent man to make a
living. Then, too, if a poor man is
forced, for economy's sake, to buy
some of his necessities from the ORR
entails. there is a great hue and cry
chant, capitalist, and even the min
lister, if he wants to build a house or
have the old one painted or any other
skilled labor he may want done, lets
it all out by contract to the Oriental.
1t is not the Oriental competition SO
much as the insincerity of the people
who hold a viselike grip on every
thing pertaining to the material adj
vancement of your Islands-that is to
blame, for there is room and opportu-
nifty for all, if the close corporation
plan upon which your country is con-
trolled could once be broken up, and
all who come could have a chance to
get in and help build up trade and
your industries
How much of truth there is in the
foregoing expression most of us could
tell if we only dared. Yours truly,
JOHN SMITH.

Editor Advertiser: Employers re-
marks on the low-wage question and
condition of the laboring class are
his solution.
He has merely stated facts that we
see always around us. The workings
of the law of evolution.
The survival of the fittest is as
strong a natural law today in human
life as it has been in the animal king
dom from time immemorial.
This is an age of progress, and so
it is an age of evolution. Evolution
means self-development; without de-
velopment, individuals, like nations,
stagnate and perish. You employers
with your business methods, especial
~ in corporation form, are mere in
struments working together in har-
mony with this law to aid in this de-
velopment.
Necessity is hard master. And so
are the conditions imposed on us mem
bers of the laboring class through this
low wage system.
The use of this system wherever it
is applied with full force develops and
| brings out of a man those noble quail
tiles so essential to survive and
progress = ambition, stick-to-it-iveness
long suffering. meekness, and hard
| work, the harder the better. AT birth,
man is more helpless than the Off
| spring of any of the lower animals.
He remains physically incapable of
/ caring for himself for a longer period
| than any species of the brute creation.
| But-he is the only thinking animal.
| With this wonderful faculty of rea-
son which is meant for US to use con-
stantIy, we are provided the opportu-
mites under these hard conditions to
develop and display our mental
| powers.
| With the development of mans rea-
| soning powers there is created new
| kind of strength in the human species,
| called brains. Upon a mans ability
| to realize that this strength is subject
| throughout his life to this law of evo-
| luton and the use he makes of the
| faculties with which nature has en-
bowed him, depends largely his condi-
| ton. Under this severe training or
struggle for existence" a man is re-
warded equal to an equivalent service
! he renders society. The employer be
hind the capital renders a special ser
| vice. likewise his reward.
The common laborer, the man who
/ is liable bodied" and nothing more
| than that, no matter how much muscle
he NAV have or how we'll he may have
! developed it, if he lacks mental
! strength can not expect to get more
| than "a bare living" If it is still true
that Reward follows merit as surely
| as the day follows night" I, too. will
| vet be an employer and help out this
| law of evolution. EMPLOYEE.
