 And if, perchance the engineer go scathless of bodily harm, he will be made scapegoat for the entire or ganization, and possibly arrested up- on a nanslaughter charge and treated like a common criminal.
 All these risks the engineer takes, that common men and especially rail- road presidents, do not; take. He is entitled to compensation above other men. The engine drivers should re- ceive more pay. If money is scarce, cut the. salaries of the railroad pres idents and other high or supernumer- ary officials.

One of the Spanish war veterans who was pres ent at the fall of Pekin recalls grim ly that he never took off his clothes day or night for four months and at times his waist was saturated with blood from the weight of his cartridge belt loaded with ammunition. Af- ter the battle of Tien-Sien where the gallant Colonel. Liscurn was killed while leading his men in a charge against the ferocious Boxers, they marched night and day through a country teeming with hostile natives to the relief of Pekin@ Two prunes, some coffee of poor quality, and two hard tack was the ration doled out 10 them after hike of whole day in the tropical sun. But as ample prep aration has been made for the soi- 5diers to be engaged in the mimic warfare which will be waged around Bridgeport, there is no likelihood of any such experience at this time.

JUDGE NoBBs AND THE NEW PARTY

This is free country to the extent least that any may join political party, and leave it, for cause, In this matter Judge B. F. Nobbs has the rights that attach to any American citizen That he elects to walk with the Bull Moose concerns him, and those who have taken him into association.
 That he has been an office holder under the Republ- party is not to be considered if it is considered the conclusion must be reached that the condition of having been Republican office holder, is almost condition pre- cedent to leadership in MT. Roosevelts party.
 It is difficult to why accusation upon the score of having drawn public salary because of the Republican party should lie against humble Republican like Judge Nobbs more than against lofty Republican, like Theo dore Roosevelt.
 If Mr. Nobbs has been for long years office holder so has Mr. Roosevelt If Judge Nobbs has drawn large enouments and considerable honors Theodore Roosevelt has drawn yet larger emolumens and received gigantic honors.
 Nearly all the leading Bull Moose are former Repub- lican office holders. Some of them RepubI office holders Governor Johnson of California and in Connecticut Herbert Knox Smith Professor Luther Former Senator Butterworth and Former Senator Alsop
 In some states the Bull Moose leadership largely composed office holders and former office holders that stranger might be pardoned for supposing that can have title to membership in the Roosevelt organza tion except he recently has been Republican office holder
 As for Judge Nobbs contention that he owes the Re- publican party nothing that susceptible of reasonable explanation
 The Republican party was, during his time, group of excellent gentlemen who kept tight grip things for many years. The Republican party another group of gentlemen, who have displaced the first genlemen and who would not give Judge Nobbs glass of ice water much less job.
 To this Republican party Judge Nobbs owes nothing.
 Moreover it is a much worse Republican party than the he associated wth with ideals and gnoble purposes Judge Nobbs feels that it is his
 
 any cost Many other former Republicans feel exactly the same

ciprocity with the United States. They have made 1t plain that they take no stock in the cheap talk indulged in by those who pretend to see in closer ation. They also have demonstrated on what thin ice the Borden govern ment is treading. The federal au-- thoFitiee at Ottawa realized how irr1- portant to their prestige was the con- test of Thursday, and they made ex- traordinary efforts at securing votes PGrty leaders and speakers were sent out In force to appeal to the people. Arguments, pleas, threats and every device known to the politician were resorted to in vain.
 The present Dominion government on the popular vote last September, al- though the apportionment is such as to give it a substantial majority in Par ltament The leaders were particu- lAriy anxious to make it appear that the west is accepting their policies The result on Thursday is a stinging blow to the premier and his associates. It particularly is bitter, coming as it does on the top of reverse in Quebec in the east. With the west declaring against the governmental. policy on broader markets and the prospect of an early reapportionment it would seem to outsiders as if the domination Of the conservative party is likely to be short lived, and reciprocity soon may become a reality.
 The confidence expressed by the vot- CTS of the province is particularly gratifying to the people of this couE- try. We were held up to the Cana dian electorate last September as the enemies of their country who were plotting to get not only their trade, but to wean them away from their flag. Many unthinkingly were deceiv- ed and voted against reciprocity on the theory that they were saving their country from danger. 1t Is pleasing to know that they have realized their mistake when given time to consider that they were not afraid of us, but are insisting on closer trade relations with this country.

APPEALING THE LAW

Suppose that the General Assembly ef Connecticut should pass law for bidding corrupt practices by those seeking to be delegates to national conventions. Supposing under a State law providing for the election of dele gates, the voters of a political party In Connecticnt should instr,ict it's delegates to: a national convention to vote for Roosevelt. Suppose the aa- tional committee should throw the Roosevelt delegates out. because the State law.swas not in agreement with It's rules, and seat delegates who would vote for Taft.
 Suppose the voters of that party in Connecticut should then nominate electors favorable to Roosevelt, and should instruct them for Roosevelt.
 What is the national committee go- ing to do about 1t? Who can pre- vent it?
 What shall be done about it? It is not tolerabie that the provisions of proper State laws shall be set aside oy voluntary committees. That way lies anarchy. But States cannot con trol theeaetions of citizens outside their jurisdiction. The remedy is in the eontrol of national elections by nnfi0nal authority.

FIRST THINGS

The first macadam road ever con- structed was officially tested and ap- proved in Scotland 1o2 years ago to- day. The inventor of this system Sof road building was John Loudon Mac adam, native of Ayr, Scotland. where he was born in 1756. He went to New York in TITO, entered his uncle's count ing house, and became a successful merchant. In 17S3 he returned to Scotland and purchased handsome estate. Tn 1S10 he began his experi-
 nents in highway construction which have made his name immortal. He investigated road-building methods in 8 score of countries and travelled 3oO00 miles. His preliminary trials of mac adamizing'' were so successful that in 1916 he was appointed surveyor to the Bristol Turnpike Trust, and renade the roads there cheap1y and we'll. The House Of Commons Investigated his system, and he was voted s500oo and appointed surveyor general of metro politan roads He declined knight hood Macadam died in Scotland in 1S36

The Engineer.
Baltimore Americana

The public wants the locomotive en- gineers wel1 paid and well treated, for upon their skill and vigilance depends. to a large degree, the safety of the millions who travel upon American railroads. Evidence thus far intro duced before the arbitration commis- sion now considering the demand for wage increase is not convincing that the engineer is either underpaid or overWorked. Plenty of opportunity, however, is being given the brother hood to make good it's contention, and sures that justice will be done all con cerned.
 Interesting facts have been disclos- ed in the investigation. passenger run varies from 250 to $50 miles, con- stituting a days work for the en- gineer. One man with a run of 296 miles every day receives $1s6 per month, or $2.2S2 a year; another for run of 31 2 miles, gets $196 a month, Or $2.S52 a year; others before the commission testified to earning s153 a month in one instance and $136 in afl- other. It has been shown that none Of them receives less than S1O0 a month. One can hardly reconcile the statement that the engineer is under paid with this testimony. On the con- trary, the public will be inclined to re- joice that the engineer is so we'll paid, in view of his responsibility and the risks he runs.
 A point raised by the employees is that while the average run is short and the engineer works, perhaps, only every other day. he is required to be on duty several hours before taking his train out. Asked to describe his duties for that time, one engineer ex- plained that he signed the register book, compared his watch with the official clock, looked over the equip ment of his engine and otherwise pre- pared for his trip-duties certainly not arduouS
 It still remains for the brotherhood to demonstrate that the men are work
 ing under unfavorable conditions and that their remuneration is not com mensurate with their duties and their responsibilities. If this can be prov en, the public, as the court of last re- sort, will insist that justice be done.

cruel world, and got, job as clerk in a dry goods store. Two months of counter jumping satisfied Nat that he was not cut out for merchant prince, and he decided to become an 1InFolsterer. He remained in that si1op for nearly a month. While his employers did not highly appreciate his services, Nat learned a lot about upholstering that served him in good stead in equipping chorus girls Tor their mission of entertaining the tired business man.
 MT. Goodwin's first theatrical ex- perience was as general utility man in Niblo's Garden, New York, ana later he went to the Boston Museum to fill similar place. His first ln- itial appearance in legitimate drama was at the Providence Opera House. His role was that of Sir George Hounslow in a nnelodrama called 'The RottIe.', The latter should have held smelling salts, for when Nat rushed on the stage he was overcome py fright. His lips moved, but no words issued from them. He tried to stag ger from the stage, but his legs re- fused to do the bidding of his mind and he toppled over Tn neaa Laint i.l !. He had to be carried to his dressing room. while the unsympathetic audi ence hooted and jeered.
 Rack in Boston, Nat held his right hand a1oft and uttered those sad woids. 'sNever again!" A shoe store clerksbip was to be had in Boston, and he determined to remain there the rest of his life, and never, never go neer a tK1eatre. But as has been observed, absence makes the heart grow fonder.

Tn 1875 he made his first New York appearance in a speaking part at Tony Pastors Theatre.
 Since those early struggles MT. Goodwin has gained a wide reputa- tion both in light comedy and serious drama. Some of his most famous parts have been in 'The Hunchback," "T,end Me Five Shillings," "The Mer- chant of Venice" ''The Nominee and 'When We Were Twenty-One."
 MT. Goodwin's first trip to the altar was at the age of twenty with Eliza Weatherby, a lovely English burles- que actress. The pair were devotedly attached to each other, and MT. Good win did not become "F'ible Nat'' until after the death of his first wife in 1887. Tn the following year Marry ing Nat'' was attracted by the charms of Nella Baker Pease, the divorce wife of a Buffalo physician, who was prominent in society, and the twain were made one. She divorced him in 1891, and for about seven years Nat was a member of the Widowers' Club Then he married Maxine Elliott, the actress, in 1898, and they were di.

A RESPONSIBLE" JOB

It would be interesting to see what would happen if the railroad presi- dents of the United States should petition for more pay, and should appear before an arbitration commit tee in support of their contention. while the directors of the roads should appear in opposition It would be shortly shown that railroad presidents hay 3. pretty easy time of it, compared with railroad engineers. Railroad presidents are good insurance risks. which railroad engineers are not. A railroad president who is particular not to ride on railroad trains, except perhaps in Great Britain and or the European mainland, will live as long as anybody. Moreover these gentle men have short hours, and not much to do. many of them, except to deal with recalcitrant legislators and leg islatures. Railroad presidents have no dirty work to do, as engineers have, or, at least, none that gets their hands dirty.
 We fancy that with all these facts presented the argument would get
 svwn to a presentation of the Ire sponsibility' which railroad presidents have to assume
 But the railroad presidents who are Opposing the engine drivers increase do not appear to take much stock in the responsibility" argument, when ii is nut forward for the engineers. These men have truly responsible jobs. They are charged with the safety of the train which they drive They are expected to keep the train moving fifty or sixty miles an hour to bring it in on time, regardless ot the defects in the, system created by the neglect, inefficiency or extrava- gance of the railroad presidents, and if an accident occurs, the engineers take the blame and the penalty Often the penalty is death on the spot; awful death, by y-white hot coals

to remain so because they have been rendered so by drinking habits. The Prohibition Party is not made up of visionaries but of those who have gone to the roots of the matter in regard to moral and economic condi- tions, they do not believe in Hopping off a branch here and there in the endeavor to remedy the matter but be- lieve in getting at the roots. We do not believe in hoodwinlxing the people with some minor issue but give facts to uphold our contention. Hoping that you will give this mmunica tion space in your paper we remain.

PROHIBITION PARTY
 AND ITS PRINCIPLES
rditor of Farmer, Sir:

Editor of Farmer. Sir:
 A short time ago you had printed in your paper some replies received from different woman regarding whom they would vote for if they had the opportunity. The reply Of Mrs Hlncks attracted my attention, she s1bd III part. a platform that placed human rights before property rights, the pup dic health before money and pupdlc morals before other questions would receive her support and vote would like to call her attention and also the readers of your paper that there is a party which meets just those condd- tions and which has done so TOT the last forty years The Prohibition Par- ty has recognized that the sIaDiiley of our government rests upon human beings not money and that any traf- f1rz which destroys and causes the hlI- man rare to deteliorate has no place Tn this broad land of ours and no req son for existence and must De outiaW- ed if we are to go forward on our noble mission of showing to the rest rsr +ha world how people can success fully govern themselves. The liquor question is a bigger economic question than any which any political party has mentioned in their platforms thls wear or any other year and all other great questions will not be settled right until this the biggest one or them all is. .,
 The Prohibition Party is not built around the personality of a mere man but those who are it's constituents ral- ly around an eternal moral and eco- nomical truth, moral because 1t af- feets the happiness of the human race, economical, because it takes billions of dollars which ought to go toward buying the necessities of life especial ly while the cost of living is high. We also read of the scarcity of labor for legitimate business. If the people who are inmates of penal institutions, asy- luns. etc.. on account Of this traf- fic had their liberty and besides these those who are the employees, many of
 whom have trades which they would
 follow if it was not for the big prof

That Bridge eport is to be the i'm portant spot on the map, of the mann moth war game the first part of next month is now certain, as the eager ness with which the officers of the cngineering, battalion stationed at Camp Walter H. Lee near Botsford r~pter, are seeking sites In the vi- cinity of Bridgeport for the camps of the foreign military attaches and the umpires of the war game, plainly in- dicates that, strategetically speaking, Bridgeport is the key to the situation. Local Spanish War Veterans are watching the preliminary moves with the keenest interest as many of them have participated in field maneuvers on a large scale in Cuba, the Philip pines and even in China during the Boxer Instruction. It is not antici- pated that the troops engaged will suffer any more than the inconven- fence occcasioned by the carrying of their equipment and the marching in hot and rainy weather while intense suffering. serious illness and often death was the portion of those who followed the flag in the Orient not to mention the ever present danger of
