Concrete Men on Last Lap of Contract
on Quincy Street Job.
The force of men under Contractor
Anderson is now making rapid pro-
gress on the laying of concrete for the
foundation of the north track of the
street railway, and nearly three blocks
have been completed. including the
strip between the two tracks. The
asphalt crew is now engaged in re-
placing asphalt in sections along the
sides of the tracks where il was found
that depressions had been caused by
wagon wheels that allowed pools OF
water to accumulate after rains. The
part of the paving that was cut when
the sub-surface conduits were laid two
years ago is also being repaired and
when completed the street will look
better than when the paving was first
laid. by reason of the absence of the
bricks along the sides of the rails.
Judging from the rapidity with which
the work so far done has been accom-
plished there is no question but that
the undertaking will be entirely fin
ished before July II, the date of the
opening of the home coming celebra-

might be sentenced to serve five years
in the penitentiary and leave there with
a record as model prisoner and with a
fixed determination to lead an upright
life in the future Denied employment
from door to door, suspected at every
turn, given no credit for good intentions
or remorse or reformation. denied even
the most trfling occupation in the safest
lines involving no temptation whatever.
1t is no wonder the heart of the released
convict has hardened and that into his soul
has crept a bitter resentment against a
civilization that condemns him to viz
tually perpetual punishment, for perhaps
his first offense. That is the way many
habituaI criminals are developed.
Ruefs plan is an extension OF an idea
that has been in process of development
for some years in various parts OF the
country. Prisoners aid societies have
been organized with a large measure Of
success, but they have failed quite to
meet the need of the case in some re-
spects. The Ruef idea is to make the
prisoner a partner of his own redemp-
ton. to endow him with direct share
in the enterprise by starting the work
inside the prison. and by giving him thus
a measure of assurance before he goes
that he will have q chance Outside"
He wants to overcome the dependency
and despair that many prisoners feel as
they face the future. This is constructive
work, and it is to be hoped that the Cali
fornia prison board will recognize it's
value and start the process in motion
Abe Ruef will have in large measure
paid Off his debts to society If he can

Bailey and Bryan.

Although not presidential candidate.
Senator Bailey is entirely within his
rights In taking notice Of the interroga-
tories Mr.. Bryan has propounded with
view of developing democratic sentiment
on issues which will bear upon the next
presidential race.
EspecialIv must he have felt chal-
lenged by the reference to free raw ma
terials. Mr.. Bailey opposes that policy.
Mr.. Bryan supports it. MIR. Bailey holds
that il was adopted by the democracy
some years ago for a specific purpose
and failed of that purpose. The hook
was baited tn catch New England votes.
but the Yankees did not rise to the lure.
Why whip such waters longer with some
thing that has proved ineffective. Why
not go back to the old brand of tariff
making, and for revenue purposes lay a
duty on raw materials as well on fin
ished products?
Mr.. Bryan sticks TO the democracy he
best knows and has helped TO apply. In
Congress he was a C!evelandite on the
tariff questions, and voted for free raw
materials He would have that policy
prevail now. and is preparing TO force 1t
il possible into the next democratic ma
tiona platform.
Mr. Bailey is not warranted in asSum-
ing that if MIR. Bryan is not permitted
u have his way about candidate and
platform next year he will bolt True,
there is the bolt from Dahlman to point
t.. But there is also the ticket and plat
form OF 1901 TO show how much Mr..
Bryan can and will stand for party's
sake. No nomination could have been
more objectionable to him than was that
of Judge Parker. and the gold telegram
was little If any short of an approval
But Mr.. Bryan swallowed both, stumped
the country. and played fair After that
it does not seem likely he could be driven
into opposition In a presidential year.
The nomination of even Gov. Harmon
would hardly have that effect.
But, more than anything else, Mr..
Bryan's questions and Mr.. Bailey's OBJ
servations about them show the advisa-
bility OF having the two meet at the dem
ocratic national convention as members
of the platform committee. That is the
place for them to have it out" Both
are able and earnest men. Both are
capital speakers. They differ widely on
other questions than the tariff Mr..
Bailey regards Mr.. Bryan as being more
populst than democrat. Mr.. Bryan prob
ably includes Mr.. Bailey in his list of
Aldrichized'' democrats-which Glacti-
cally is to transfer the Texas senator
u the ranks OF the republicans.
- And at the same table should sit Oscar
Underwood and JOHN Sharp Williams,
who have pronounced views about the
;ariff and other matters, and are In Of
nee charged with responsibility in the
way Of proposing legislation. Mr.. Under
wood and Mr.. Bryan differ about the
tariff, and when several years ago Mr..
Bryan was in New York on the eve of
decaring for government ownership and
operation of railroads Mr.. Williams left
town rather than listen to the deliver
ance.

Reckless Railroading.

Frequently it happens that railroad
collisions result from the efforts of en-
gineers to steal switches, ignoring
their orders in order to make up time.
When this occurs the higher officials
OF the lines always denounce the &C
lions of the usually dead operatives as
in violation of specific orders. It is
emphatically declared that the prac-
tice of pushing trains ahead by such
means is discOuntenanced at headquar-

one difference that is particularly

One of his particular objects in taking

men were obeying this regulation
When he eached switch at which he
should have waited for car approach
ing from the opposite direction, and
found he had several minutes in which
to make the next siding, he determined
to take his chance, just as hundreds of
conductors and motormen have decided
before him. He went down the line at
full speed, and short distance from
the switch crashed head on into an
other car. He was among the killed.
How can 1t be expected that motor
men and conductors will obey regula-
lions when they are ignored and vio-
lated by their own superiors? 1t is
we'll understood among railroad men
that the operative who brings his car
or train in on time gets the best
