The Railway Age Gazette, the chief
authority on railroad matters in this
country in its issue of December 1s de-
votes a page to the link side bearing
and in addition to going into technical
description of the patent 1t says:
1T has frequently been claimed that
the principle of transferring the weight
of car to the trucks through a loaded
center plate is wrong, and that it is
useless trying to balance a load of
100. 900 to 200, oo0 pounds on two CEN
trail points at each end of the car This
has led to the design of trucks which
support the load of the car by links or
similar construction on each side of
the frame. In other words the weight
instead of being distributed from the
center of bolster. is placed as nearly
as possible over the wheel hubs.
THE load is CARRIE on what is call
ed floating support. The oscillator pro-
yides for a nearly frictioniess .hori-
zontal and radial truck movement on
a curve while the links hangers
also allow sufficient lateral movemen,
of the car body as is the case in a
swing motion truck"

than the bolster truck and that it car

than the latter. The lighter weight is
an item with railroads as they figure
one eighth of a cent per ten mile for
hauling their cars.
Another claim made for the new de-

The Illinois legislature may not be
as freakish as that of Colorado, but
it takes the cake for doing nothing
but squabble over personal matters.
That great state, third in the Union,
is groveling in the dust. Notwith-
standing the unusually important
work on hand at Washington Illinois
is without senatorial representation
and promises to remain so. Neither
party has clear majority, the Pro-
gressive Republicans holding the bal
ance of power. John Y. Sherman
received a majority of the votes at
the election last fall for the long
term but the Progressives refuse to
abide by the decision of the people so
ardently advocated by Colonel Roose-
welt during the campaign, although in
turn for their votes for the long term
the Republicans have agreed to give
the Progressives their votes for the
short term. 1t will be remembered
that in the Maine contest, Colonel
Roosevelt advised against carrying
out the wishes of the majority. 1t is
more and more evident that Roose-
velt is only for rule that will suit
his whims. The Herald has been an
admirer of the colonel in the past and
he would still be great man if he
could see beyond himself, but per-
sonal egotism has taken hold of him
root and body. This must be admitted
by those who voted for him last fall.
With such uncertain leadership it is
hard to understand how he can ex-
pect to hold the Progressives together
II they possess any sort of inde-
pendence.
Semi-weekly herald., 1913-03-31

ferent states on Sunday and the Ohio
flood of Monday night, to bring to
mind the full realization of the horror.
OF course the great loss of life is
the first consideration, but the de-
struction of property is of no small
moment. No doubt thousands of FAM
lilies have lost everything they possess
ed in the world while added thousands
have been badly crippled with the
means of livelihood taken away from
them.
We of the San Juan basin often
think that we are handicapped in
many ways, but the more we stop to
consider, we are the most favored peo-
pie in the land. The flood of 1911 was
of small moment and the only setback
in the history of the district. And
speaking of floods, we do not know
the full meaning of the word. 1t is
only necessary to look back and see
what residents along the Ohio, Mis-
souri,, Mississippi and other large
streams go through with every year,
to say nothing of hundreds of other
sections through which smaller
streams flow. We certainly have
much to be thankful for-the best all
the year round climate in the world,
weather conditions that enable peo-
pie to live comfortably the year
round, resources that enable US to live
comfortably with prospects for Won
derful future. We're we positively as
sured that no additional railroads
would be our lot for the next fifty
years we would not exchange for the
east, south or further west. What
more can mortal desire than health
and the necessaries and some of the
luxuries of life. The fact is, we often
make ourselves believe that life would
be easier in some other part of the
country, but where is the real enjoy
ment of the idle rich. 1t is life that
reeks with rottenness as a rule. In
stead of envying those who reside in
eastern and southern states let us
congratulate ourselves upon our sur
roundings and escape from the ter
rible calamities that have befallen
other sections, not doing so in vain
glorious fashion, but downright thank
fullness to the Almighty for his bless
ings.
Now let every San Juan basin man,
woman and child brace up. Put on
your optimistic clothes and wear them
all day and then cover yourself with
optimistic bedding at night. Get in
the game of life. A happy and con-
tented disposition is the main thing.
Life is properly what one makes it.

EYEWITNESS TALKS OF
OMAHA'S TORNADO SUNDAY

MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, March 27.-
H. II. Kortmeyer, Great Western ex-
press messenger, who arrived here
from Omaha today, declares that dur
ing the tornado Sunday all the win
COWS of house in which a wake was
being held over the body of a dead
infant were blown out and the build
ing almost torn from its foundation,
yet all the candles contiued to burn
throughout the storm.
Kortmeyer, who was in the down
town section during the storm de-
clared the published reports did not
begin to describe the horror.
"How many lives were lost and
what the damage will be cannot pos
sibly be estimated until the debris was
entirely cleared away" said Kort-
meyer.
After the storm had passed
walked about the ruined area from
Twentieth street to Thirtieth street
near Lake street. Many of the dwell.
ings had collapsed like paper boxes
They were twisted and distorted into
all kinds of odd shapes. One house
contained four women who were hav'
ing friendly talk when the tornado
sweeped down. One of them told me
the next day they were thrown tt
safety through the windows. Not one
of them was hurt and none can ex
plain how they were thrown out the
windows.
"In another home seven people were
piled in heap when the upper floor!
collapsed None of the inmates were
hurt and they crowled to safety
through holes in what was left o.
their home"

A SOUND DIVORCE BILL.

A movement is on foot to secure a
reconsideration by the senate of Sen
ator W. C. Robinsons divorce bill
which was lost few days ago by a
narrow margin. The defeat of the
bill was a complete surprise to those
who had been working in its interest
as it was such an improvement over
the present divorce law
Senator Robinson's bill provided
that no divorce shall be granted for
period of one year and thirty days
after suit is filed. Thirty days must
elapse between the date of filing and
the day of hearing and if the di-
vorce is granted, one year must elapse
before the decree is formally sign
ed. 1t also provided for one years
residence in the state.
The present divorce law requires
all parties asking for a divorce in
Colorado to have resided here for a
period of one year except when cruel
ty is alleged, in which case no resi-
dence is required. This clause has
been responsible for the filing of num-
berless suits in which cruelty was
alleged, when as matter of fact
there had been no cruelty. Where
no contest is made to a suit for di-
vorce the parties may agree that the
charge shall be mental or physical
cruelty This enables men or women
desiring a divorce to come to Colo
rado one day and begin suit for di-
vorce that day or the next without be-
coming residents of the state.
Senator Robinson's bill is meri-
torious measure and should be adopt
ed by the present legislature

WILL NO DOUBT
RESULT BENEFICIALLY

The vice probe started by the Illi-
nois Legislature and extending prac-
tically over the entire country, will
no doubt accomplish much good in the
long run, although furnishing much
detrimental publicity, especially that
which inflames the minds of the
younger generation that seeks to keep
up with every delectable morsel re-
lating to the subject. To accomplish
results, however, it will be necessary
for. the work to be carried on quietly
as soon as the present public agita
tion is ended. In extending the work
and causing it to take on a national
aspect the Illinois senatorial vice com
mission visited Washington to secure
presidential aid, and among its rec
concentrations is the whipping post
for white slave traffickers and Sc
ducers of women, tax upon bachelor
hood, more careful training of chill
dren and abolition of joy rides and
rag time dancing. Among other things
the following were advanced by mem
bers:
Mrs. Harvey w, Wiley, wife of for
mer chief of chemistry bureau, says if
women are given ballot the age of
consent will be raised.
Contention made that employers
have no moral right to give to charity
until they have increased wages.
Proposition is made to place a tax
upon bachelorhood.
Robert Barret, son of head of the
Florence Crittenton home, says more
recruits for the underworld come from
society girls than come from working
classes.
Illinois state senator says govern
ment keeps eye upon tobacco and but
terine and allows girls to go to ruin.
Washington society woman recon-
mends abolition of society page in
newspapers.
President Wilson promised to call a
convention of governors and others
to devise means of stamping out white
slave traffic.
Members of the Florence Crittenton
home said more recruits were obtained
by sporting houses from society girls
than the working class. This is along
lines advanced by many students on
vice. The Herald, as heretofore stated,
believes it wrong to charge the ma
jor portion of delinquency to work.
ing girls and low wages. Increasing
wages is proper, but do not cast
stigma on those who have to work
from early in the morning until late
at night for living. Just lay up
some of the blame to the idle rich.

Elsewhere we give the expense &C.
count OF the Wycoff contest for the
seat of Senator Barela, amounting "a
over $4,000. 1t will be remembered
that in the commencement of the suit
Mr.. Barela proposed that DR.. Wyeoff
pay the expense on his side and he
would do the same, but this was OBJ
jected to and now the state has 70
dig. Think of $13,5O0 for airing po-
litical ambition. In the expense state
ment is an item of $3.50 incurred by
DR.. Wyccff, or at least claimed. This
is sample of Democratic retrench-
ment. Educational institutions and all
other state interests are suffering for
lack of funds and this outrageous bill
must take precedent. Think of the
good that could be accomplished along
legitimate channels. The amount
spent foi advertising the state would
prove beneficial. Instead the money
goes for naught.

portrayal of purity, innocence and
loveliness. The picture in question
was displayed in the windows of a
