Alcohol has been the curse of

1t is the laboring mans mortal

and character. The saloon stands
for robbery. self destruction, wret-
ched homes and ruined lives. 1t
has been said: The saloon lies in

and then it springs and clutches

decency: all that's good it takes
from him and sneaks away"
Alcohol robs men of money. 1t
is one Of the chief causes of power
ty. We know that more than
100000 were spent last year
in the United States for liquors
and many families suffered for the
lack of the neCessaries of life. The
laboring men drink no more than
any other class, out their numbers
are as five to one, and therefore OF
the Si2.OOO.OOO the laboring men
pay four fIfths of this enormous
sum. That means that the com
mon people are being robbed and
plundered while the saloon men
reap the benefit.
Theyoung man who is SO thought
less as to form the drink habit cuts
himself off from making a success
of life. The world of business is
against him. He is finding all ave
nues of labor and thrift barred to
him, the doors of society are grad
uaIly being cNsed. More and more
the idea is becoming effective that
a man who drinks cannot be trusted
in a responsible position. 1t is
spreading among Individual employ
erS and among firms and corpora
tions. Along all lines of business
temperance is advocated the de-

Experience shows that accidents
are more frequently caused by
drinking men than by total abstain
ers For this reason EMPLOYERS
are quite naturally discriminating
against the man who drinks. In
some sections railroads and other
corporations have their employees
watched during their leisure hours
and if any are reported drunk they
are marked for dismissal Many

high price of meats, have become
suddenly unpopular through the ar
rest and SUBSEQUENT confession of Il
youth named C. Williams. Cotton

Il small harvest by killing and sell
ing the animals to butchers, restau-

SO we'll did the industry thrive that
some people became suspicious and
directed their attention to Williams
who appeared to be securing more
rabbits than the others. The boy was
trailed and seen to capture and Kill
and dress a plump cat which he sold
to a Chinese restaurant. His arrest
followed and he then admitted that
he had disposed of nearly one hun.
dred cats this winter, making ar
additional profit by selling theil
skins. His revelations made rabbit

phase now since those interested are

to set aside Il section in which the
Indians can emorialize the greatness
of their departed chiefs and also use
it for camping purposes. Several
spots have been suggested, Dark
Canyon hear here, a picturesque but

points mentioned. In the Dark Can

ONE COST OF MONOPOLY.

aErt-Ef - Ee2sE{ . H+--ttt
One Of, the favorite arguments in
defense Of great Industrial corpor-
atoms is that by combining resources
and facilities. they arr enabled to
produce a superior, product at lower
cost TEcy ought ODE true. as a gen
eral rule. But whether or not it. Is
true, Is q diffes ent, matter. When
any concern has a monopoly, the in
centive to give the best of service at
tie lowest cost compatible with reas-
enable earnings has been removed.
In the last decade, according 10
the records Of the Interstate Com
mefcc Commission, there have been
1868 Jcrailments OF trains on ac-
count of broken rails and the hui
man toll has been 10G killed and A.
112 injured. Further 1t. is shown
that in the year. ending June 80,
900. - y II .ffTS
1902, the number of railroad acct
dents due to. this cause was only rs.
as compared with 249 for the fiscal
year Of 1911.
This period coyer the life of the
United States Steel Corporation,
which has produced most OF the steel
rails used in this country since Its
organization. The chiefs OF railroad
companies insis, that the quality OF
these rails has d~etariorated, notwith.
standing the high prices for them
maintained r hy the steel trust. That
the trains ate heavier now than for
merry does not explain the fact that
broken rail accidents are over three
times az frequent as, they were ten
years ago.. For it is generally true
that the weight of the rails used has
kept pace with the weight of the
trains. James J, Hill of the Great
Northern says that the steel mills
turn out too many rails in a given
time and the Philadelphia Press ex,
plains that the men are paid by the
tonnage aud naturally consider out,

put more than quality.

"HHH
IT Is true that the head of the
steel trust asserts THAT the railroad
companies, in n spirit Of economy, de-
mand rails with Il high per ecntage
Of carbon which adds to their dura-
bility but makes them more brittle.
But, even allowing for some such
disposition, it does not seem reason
able to attempt to explain the whole
trouble in this way. If the broken
rails were confined to any one com
pany or a few of them, this might
suffice. But sudh accidents have hap
ened all over the country and on
the richest of lines.
The most likely explanation is that
the steel trust, freed from competi-
ton and anxious to realize the max
imum of earnings, has turned out
rails OF inferior quality. Tho price
Is paid in terms of human life. This
may be considered a concrete illus
tration of the practice of placing
property rights above human rights.
