WILL START APRIL 18TH.
New Fast Train on Union Pacific To
Be Hummer.

The Wabash-Union Pacific trans
continental train, which was original
~ scheduled to start next Sunday,
and which will run through Abilene,
has been postponed. While not def
nitely stated the new train will prob
ably be installed two weeks later on
April IS. The delay in getting the
equipment ready is. said to be re-
sponsible for the postponement Of the
service.
This is to be one of the finest, II
not the finest train in the west. 1t
will consist of nothing but baggage
cars, sleepers, and diner. The train
will carry no mail nor chair cars. The
cars will be lighted with electricity.
The Union Pacific will take a step in
advance of all other roads in car
lighting. A regular dynamo will be
carried on the train which will gen
crate all OF the electricity for use in
lighting the coaches. The dynamo
will be located in one of the baggage
cars and an electrician will t:rIato
the dyEamus assisted by the bag
gageman.
The new train will run from st.
Louis to the Pacific coast, reaching
both San Francisco and Portland. No
changes in cars will be made on the
entire trip. The new train will leave
Abilene westbound about a m.
or perhaps few minutes later. 1t
will be one of the last trains to leave
Kansas City for Abilene. The train
will make nine stops in Kansas, Abb
lene being one of them.
On the return trip the train will
leave Abilene about 8 a. m.
Coincident with the Inauguration |
of this new service, will be the chang
ing Of the running time Of the other
trains on the Union Pacific. There
win probably be no changes in the |
local train service, but the present |
through trains will be changed some
what, In order to furnish a better
service to the patrons Of the road.

"FATTY" WALCK MAKING GOOD.
Former Abilene Boy Is Now Playing
Leading Parts.

All remember Ezra Walck( whose
pet name was Fatty" He had q
head of red hair that was the won
der Of Kansas and when combed out
was about the size of half bushel
basket. He was fat and good nat
ured and wanted to go on the stage.
His first stunt was swinging weights
attached to his hair, performing in
a circus sideshow. Then he went to
New York and now his picture oc-
cupies half a page Of the New York
Clipper. The paper says Of him;
Ezra c. Walck, this year playing
the role of the sheriff, in Klimt &
Gazzolo's The Montana Limited, is q
young man who has much experience
behind the footlights, and in every
thing he has done thus far has scored
a success. His work this year has
brought him splendid notices from
all over the country, and he deserves
the advancement which he hopes will
be his in the years to come. He plays
the healthy type man, which this
sheriff is an example, with ease, and
whether on or off the stage his per
sonality draws towards him a host
Of friends"

lBSCRIBE FOR THE ADVOCATE "$OO STRAIGEIT PER YEAR

Of that Office, and not for or against
any officer as man.
We are personally Of the opinion
that, in order to insure stability in
management, it is wise to make as
few changes as possible but, of course,
where the conduct of an officer has
been unwise and shows lack of bust
ness ability, or tendency toward
graft or undue selfishness then the
only correct thing to do is, with prop
er fraternal courtesy, and with per-
feet good feeling, to shift the official
mantle to shoulders more suitable.
Again we wish to repeat.
The year has been successful, The
Advocate is the servant of the union
not of any man or set Of men, and it
stands for wise conduct and against
concealment of official acts and has no
politics of any kind whatsoeyer-rea
to battle hard for anything promoting
the union and hard against any enc
my of the union whether on the inside
or on the outside.

JUSTICE TO ALL.

In justice to all and that my breth-
rem may know the whole truth, pub
lish card that was presented to our
Executive Committee by that true un-
ion man, Henry W. Bradshaw, last
summer, and that all refused to sign
except Brother Orange Harrington:
I'VE, the undersigned members of the
Executive Board of the F. E and O. F.
of A., after careful study of the con-
stitution, agree that we have not been
entitled to more than our ACTUAL
expenses while carrying on our official
duties, and we agree to refund all such
amounts heretofore accepted or col
lected to the State Treasurer" And
then to prove that they knew that they
were not entitled to more than their
ACTUAL expenses, they issued an
order forbidding their lecturers from
charging more. Brethren of the un-
ion, / am sorry from my heart that
this occurred, but am not to blame,
and would prove false to the trust re-
posed in my brethren did fail to tell
the whole truth. seek no office or
emolument at the hands of the union.
have made many enemies by trying
to right the wrongs of my brethren,
and whether / remain in the union or
leave it, I will always stand for organi-
zation and cooperation as the only
remedy for the evils you suffer. II our
state union makes an honest effort to
clean house and make new start,
/ will fight with them, but will fight
infringements Of the constitution
whether by friend or foe.

Sift it down, then you will see that his
false step, or that of his friend has
been exposed to view. Something that
was kept from the rightful knowledge
of the. membership has been told and
told plainly perhaps rotting sore
has been given much needful bath
in union publicity.
The cure for all the social and po-
litical ills of our municipal, county,
state and national government lies in
complete publicity.
The prevention and cure for all evils
of the government of our union lies
in publicity among union members.
Let us know everything, let nothing
be kept back, and there will be little
trouble
The man who howls that The Advo-
cate should not expose to the member
ship the flaws and troubles or manage
ment, has something to conceal
Watch him. The member who croaks
that Meyer is dangerous that he
stirs up trouble-has reason to fear.
Watch him. The member who wants
everything concealed wants The Ad-
vocate to sugar-coat every step Of
every officer-has something that is
hard to swallow, if you know what ii
is, and needs sugar-coat. Watch
him. The enemy of The Advocate who
I dislikes plain talk, straight from the
shoulder, giving facts and nothing but
| facts, backed by figures, is an enemy
of the uniona wolf in sleeps cloth
| ing. Watch him.
Look out for the man who is afraiC
of publicity, afraid to let all members
high and low, rich and poor, know ev
erything concerning the union.
We have heard it whispered tha
The Advocate has some political ak t
grind. Such is not the case. We have
no "outs" that we want in We hav'
no ins'' that we want out. We arr
not the mouth-piece for any officer Q

THE STATE MEETING AND OUR
POSITION.

January II, IL and 13, Monday,
Tuesday and Wednesday are the days
appointed for the State Meeting and
the place Jackson, the State Capitol
The meeting is important and
should be represented without fail
The past year has been one of con-
tinuous progress the croakers to the
contrary Notwithstanding The union
lis now in the swing of the steady
stroke. The spread eagle oratory Of
the organization period is thing of
the past and the officers are busy with
the constant grind of daily duties
many Of which are dry and uninterest-
ling, but must be performed.
The greatest step forward has been
the active organization and federation
Of the warehouses. If this was the
only result, the years accomplishment
would be enough to deserve the stamp
of approval of every member.
The very first step in any holding
movement is to provide storage facili-
ties, without them it is idle and futile
to talk Of holding. Cotton can not be
held in sheds and fields without in
surance. No sane man would think of
advocating such a course then ware
houses correctly run must be had at
any cost. President Hightower has
correctly laid the foundation stones
lit is a great thing to know where to
begin a job and he seems to have de
vined the right place and carried his
ideas into rapid and intelligent execu
tion, regardless of wordy critics OF
thoughtless speakers and writer's.
| We desire to state, officially that W.
have no kick to make on the results
accomplished this year,-we may OBJ
iect to a detail here and there or t
the act of some official now and then
but as whole we are pleased will
the outcome and look forward will
hope for even grander achievements.
In the past few weeks since TIL
Advocate has thrown its columns wild
open to every thinking writer and ey
cry union member, things have bee
moving with rapid pace. There

OF course. such a policy develops er
