"kIcKEp" ON LOUD RAIMENT.
How One Congressman Cave Very
Near Losing Out.

'Tis Of singular joyousness-
nessness that Harry Maynard, the
fat person who represents the
Second district of Virginia in
the house of representatives. has been
renominated. 'Tis of particular joy
ousnessnessness, because, according to
Mr.. Maynard. he came near getting
the hook on account of story pub
lished here in town just before con-
gress adjourned that he had been seen
wearing red vest.
1t seems ridiculous that 50 enlight-
ened a constituency as that of the Sec
ond district should paw the air and
stand on its hind legs at the msrc
idea that its representative in con-
gress had buttoned himself into a
loud waistcoat. But, according to re-
ports, that's about what happened.
Trouble was, Mr.. Maynard's record
was clean against him. Most of
the time he wears pepper and salt
suits with shoes and waistcoat and
ties of neutral hue. Down in his dis
trict they declare that never has he
put on frills and that he has beer.

Interesting Railroad Facts.

In one year. 1907, one man, with the
aid Of modern railroad appliances, was
able to move one ton of freight 139, $50
miles, and one passenger 16, 1897 miles,
A man with good team of two horses
and wagon on roads better than the
average American road would be doing
well to haul l u tons 80 miles, six days
in the week. or 1880 ton miles per
year, leaving no time for passenger
transportation. At this rate 1t would,
require more than ten men and 20
horses to do the freight transportation
which one man does with railroad
and without any horses; and to carry
the freight traffic which the railroads
of this country carried last year, IT,.
100000 men and 35,000,OOO horses
would be required, instead of the
1,672,00 men who actually not only ef-
fected the transportation of all this
freight, but Of all the passenger traf-
fic also. The improvements since 1889
alone have enabled 1.672,O00 men to
do what in 1889 would have required

TRIBUTE TO
UNIONISM.
Benevolenoe And Unselfishness
Distinguishing Feature of the
typographical Union.

The international Typographical
Union, which claims as its own
peculiar charity widely renowned
and enviably renowned Printers
Home at Colorado Springs, is not
essentially different from other
established and reputable union
organizations in this country, and
its members are probably not more
chartably inclined than average
American workingmen of our
crafts. 1T remains true, never.
theless, that i'll a conspicuous de-
gree the union printers of this
country make their benevolence
felt, because their giving for
charity is rigidly systematic and
is governed always by the saving
influence of business common sense.
There are few things more
beautiful in cooperative benoyo-
lcnce than the established practice
among union printers the country
over o. giving the value, once or
twice or three or four times each
year, of one hour Of each mans
labor in contribution to the needs
Of fellow craftsmen who have
broken down in the struggle for
subsistence and comfort, and who
unless helped must be left comfort
less.
The Printers Home in Colorado,
maintained and managed by the
international Typographical Union
is not only a model as an insti-
tutional charity, but is we'll Ugh
perfect as illustrating perhaps the
best method yet devised of CO.
operative benevolencc. Every
union printer in America who
earns wages contributes each
year his due quota toward the
maintenance of every other union
printer in America who needs as
siStance.
Union labor organization in it's
cruder stages and through its
gradual development toward
better things has had much of i'll
doing laid to its charge, and has
often deserved popular cens,re.
But union labor as a direct and
controlling force in the lives of
wage ca rners has also dignified man
hood, widely foSteled intelligen
benevolencc, included temperance
recommended morally in living
in short and in large measure
throughout the workingmen's
world, has pcrceptibly lifted the
level of average manhood.
