Railroad Graft" In Russia.

Coming across Siberia on the rail-
road about the only diversion Is
playing cards" said a traveller. -Four
OF us were having a game of whist
when we stopped at station. A big
bearded man In uniform entered and
came up 10 us. He said there was q
tax of so kopeks on playing cards in
that town, and we would have to shell
out. We did.
''At the next station the perform
ance was repeated, and then at the
next and SO on, the tax varying ac-
cording to the size of the place. from
ten kopeks to two rubles. After two
days 1t began to get tiresome. Final
ly one Of the party said there ought
to be some way to provide against
this systematic holdup and we ap-
preached the conductor of the train
and presented him three rubles and
pointed at the cards. Thereafter, at
no matter what station we stopped,
We were never molested by one Of the
local officials looking for 'hisn.'"

Not every one knows what firing a

ease at good pay with abundant OPP
portunities for long range fiirtations

Is great and the best ones are farm
bred.
But the "cornfield sailor" who has
the strength of mind, character and
muscle to struggle through all the pre-
liminaries required to reach the left
side Of the cab imediately discovers
that In addition to anticipating the
coming Of the pay car and throwing
kisses to the prettiest girls along the
road he is also expected to shovel
from fourteen to twenty tons, or even
more Of coal day; and that this coal
shoveling occupies his attention so
fully that by the time he gets to the
end of his run he doesn't care hang
If he never sees paymaster or
rural coquette for the rest of his
natural life.
To a husky young man, shoveling
twenty tons of coal day may not
sound like terrific undertaking; but
that Is because he fails to appreciate
the difference between shoveling that
quantity in the course of ten-hour

GOVERNOR FERRIS.

possible he is not going about it blind
ly. He has an intimate knowledge of
where it is best to begin, and he is
convinced that money is being wasted,
not essentially through carelessness
but in method. 1t is his purpose to
relieve present conditions by reforms
which the closest of prevailing sys
TENS seem to warrant.
While the legislature is Republican
In complexion and the balance of pow
er rests with the controlling party
members, the new governor will have
the cordial support of a stronger ar
ray Of sympathetic supporters than
would appear upon the surface.
In the house there are 81 Republi-
can representatives, Sc Democratic
members and 10 Progressives. In the
senate 81 Republicans control, while
five Democrats and six Progressive
form the minority. On joint ballot
the Republicans have an effective
working majority, but it is conceded
that there is progressive element
among the Republicans which, com
bined with the Progressives and Demo
Gratis, will have a powerful swing in
emergencies.
Ross Urges Short Session.
Lieutenant Governor Ross is out
vigorously for a short session and has
written all the state senators relative
to a policy OF quick action and linn
tied term. He argues that the state
has borne too heavy an expense in the
past, and 1t is his purpose to make
record for the 1913 session. In this
he may be disappointed, as the change
in administration promises a rush of
more than the ordinary quantity of
business. With an array of new mem
bers, there is likely to be food of
measures for reform presented that
will consume vast amount of time,
regardless Of the ultimate results.
Senator Smiths Prospects.
The fate of United States Senator
William Alden Smith is in the bal
ance, and although the Republican ma
jority would indicate a safe re-elec-
ton of the senior senator, the margin
is really so narrow as to cause alarm
to the friends of the Grand Rapids
statesman.
This alarm is justified, as 1t is con
coded that there is a movement on
foot to land Alfred Lucking in Wash
ington to assume the toga worn by
William Alden Smith. 1t comes on
good authority that the Progressive
leaders are backing a movement to
unite the progressive Republicans in
the Michigan Legislature with the Pro
gressives and the Democrats and thus
defeat the Grand Rapids man.
Nor is this a visionary possibility.
II has so much Of reality that the
friends Of the senator are doing some
very energetic work TO have things
cinched before the election of United
States senator takes place by joint
ballot January Is.

A measure contemplating pensions
for school teachers will come before

has been drawn after numerous con-
ferences and consideration OF various
phases by many prominent instructors
in the state. The measure will pro
vide that there be no compulsory age

ing the applicant has served is years,

tirement after 30 years service at a
salary of not less than $500 a year
The proposed measure has many
phases that will be threshed out in
the legislature. but i'm the main the
act will be given powerful backing, as
IL is conceded that the Michigan
school teachers are underpaid.
