Do You Help Others?

II has been tritely said that for ey-
cry one who stands alone there are
twelve to lean against him. How is 1t
with you? Are you one Of those
against whom others lean for help and
encouragement. or are you leaning
against some one and drawing your
inspiration and courage from him? II
depends entirely on yourself whether
you take a positive attitude in your
work or whether your negative char
acteristic shall dominate. 1t is much

Representative James Alexander,
his hair snow-white, his face always
bright and cheerful but filed with
lines indicative of long years of hon.
cse toll, was an unusual character. He
was a member of the Illinois house,
yes, a republican member, but we re,
spect his memory none the less for
that because it was manifest that he
was fighting for the right as God gave
him to see the right He was of the
kind which no ''jackpotter" wou.d
even venture to approach. When he
arose in the house, it was not his ora
tory that impressed; not his argumer

RAILWAY ENGINEERS
SEEK HIGHER WAGES

The General Managers association
representing the railroads operating
in the middle western states, has re-
ceived a demand from the Brother
hood of Locomotive Engineers for
general increases in wages. All lines
In the territory are included, aud it is
stated that the object is to standard
lie the rates OF pay on the lines oper-
ating i'm these states The general
managers have been asked 10 appoint
q committee to confer with repre-
sentatives of the engineers.
There is a tendency in local rail-
road circles to consider the demand
OF the engineers for a higher wage
scale as inopportune. II is even stated
that the railroads will be inclined 20
fight an Increase at this time The In
crease asked by The engineers
amounts to from 10 TO, % per cent II
is claimed that the scale which is
asked simply restores the ratio which
has always been maintained between
the wages of the conductors and the
wages OF the engineers. The increases
granted 10 the conductors and other
trainmen in 1910 destroyed this ratio
