JUST DEPEND ON MAN.
No Automatic Device viii Guarantee
the Safety Of Trains.


the Safety Of Trains.
Automatic stops are not a "cure-all'
for the dangerous features of railroad
operation. They will not prevent de-
railments due to failures In rolling
stock, track or bridges, or to excessive
speed, washouts or landslides.
They may prevent collisions and ex.
cessive speed over short crossovers.
In order to get the safest and best
operating results the handling of the
train must be left absolutely and en-
tirely with the engineer as long as he
properly controls 1t. He must know
that 1t is so left to him, but that any
lapse on his part will be checked and
discipline imposed; that the auto
matte stop is not to do his work for
him, but like the smashboard and de-
rail, Is provided as an additional effl-
cheney test.
The safe handling Of airbrakes re-
quires considerable skill: their fre.
quent application by mechanical
means not under control OF the en-
gineman would be very detrimental.
causing discomfort to passengers and
possibly serious freight wrecks. The
automatic stop should be imperative
as long as the engineman properly
functions.-R. II. Rudd in Railway
AgeGaZette.

PLANS OF THE 500

ASKED.

Great Falls Tribune: Although the
500 has a party of engineers working
in the field east of Conrad finishing
up an uncompleted portion of the
Plaza extension survey which was
put through the state last fall and win
ter, 1t Is the belief of railroad men
that nothing will be done by the COM
pany towards the building of that pro-
posed line this year.
However, it is known that the 500
has decided to push its Ambrose ex-
tension further west through the state
and that the final locations have been
made for an extension of about so
miles in length running westward from
that portion of the line now under
obstruction in Sheridan county in the
extreme northeastern part of the
state.
Contractors have for some time
been engaged upon the grading of the
! line into the state from North Dakota
and 1t Is known here that bids have
been invited for another stretch Ol
the line running westward short dis
tance south of the international bOun
dary towards the town OF Barre In the
northern part of Valley county.
| 1t Is understood that it is the in
tention OF the 500 to build this linz
on westward paralleling the interna
tioal boundary to a probable junction
with the Canadian Pacific at or nea

A. F. OF [. COMMITTEE REPORTS
ON PROBE FOR UNEMPLOYED

The committee appointed by the
Chicago Federation of Labor to
probe the problem of the unemployed
made their report yesterday and in
it told some interesting truths. ~
They advanced no theories as have
all the others who have broken into
print with so-called solutions of this
grave problem. At the beginning of
their report they admitted they
couldn't handle the problem in
limited time. .
They criticized as ridiculous the
Municipal Lodging House, the soup
houses and the flop joints as RENE
dies. They made the following sug-
gestions;
The immediate beginning of sub
way work; the removal of filth from
the streets and the alleys; the scrub
ing of the schooIhouses every day.
This work they believe would put
thousands of men to useful work at
which they could earn decent wages.
But to relieve necessity they urge
the establishment of a municipal.
commissary from which provisions
might be supplied the poor. They
also suggest that the city council
pass an emergency appropriation
fund that would be kept up to handle
Just such hard times as these. A spe-
cial committee should be appointed
to handle this work is their sugges-
ton.
Miss Mary O'ReiIly, Chicago
Teachers Federation, was behind the
section urging the scrubbing of the
schools once day. She asserted this
would give employment to thou
sands. The schools are now only
scrubbed twice year.
The federation also called upon
Congress to investigate big business
concerns who lay off large number
of men.

CITIZENS PROTEST AGAINST
Overlooking MAIL MEN

Many citizens have been protest
ing against the overlooking of letter
carriers. The men have been seen
staggering under loads weighing
from 100 to $50 pounds.
The postal authorities acknowl-
edge that the number of packages
has increased over $50 per cent on
account of the parcels post and that
a more adequate method of delivery
should be used.
The men at the Edgewater station
have BEEN the worst sufferers. The
Jackson Park district bears a part
of the burden.
No complaints have been made by
the Mail Carriers Association, as the
men want to test the new parcels post
during the Christmas rush. But the
matter will be taken up at the AS
sociation's next meeting, Jan. 2.
The government put additional
motor trucks in operation for parcels
most deliveries last Monday.

BEGGAR PRINCE GAINS POP
ULAR APPROVAL.
Company Which Comes Here Mon
day. Jan. 10 is Excellent.

uUyy y oAAs AO 40 AAAOOAAVAUs
"The Beggar Prince" has come
out to the greater Northwest after
ten consecutive seasons Of undi-
mlnished success in the east and
is everywhere meeting with the
unqualified approval Of the
theatre going public.
In the cast which comes here,
will be H. Guy Woodward and H.
G. Moseley, recognized as two of
the best comic opera comedians
on the American stage today, Miss
Vera Alwyn, a beautiful soprano
Miss Ernestine Older, mezzo So
prano; Chas. w. Kemling, bari
tone; William Darling, lyric tenor
and a chorus approaching close
to the acme of perfection.
The principals are all seasoned
and accomplished actors and ac
tresses and, with the excellent
chorus, work together to such an
advantage that everyone who sees
them is very well pleased.
For ten consecutive seasons
this comic opera was played east
of the Mississippi river, this fact
in itself should be final guar
antee that this offering is all that
it should be. Messers. Woodward
and Moseley succeeded in obtain
ing this offering for the western
audiences only after several
months of negotiation with the
parties in New York who control
it. However, the endeavor was
worth the time and delay which
was necessary as conclusively
proven many times by the hearty
manner in which all who have
seen "The Beggar Prince" have
accepted it.
Eastern critics have judged tina
this lis one of the greatest comic
operas ever written and is truly
the most humorous offering seen
in the west for several years.
The comedians are exception.
ally well adapted for their roles
and the supporting cast and chorr
work tremendously toward one
end-to please each and everyone
who is i'm the audience.

LEGISLATURE
is in SESSION
Inaugural Proceedings Of
Both Houses Lasted Only
Twenty Minutes.

John M. Hams of Boise became
governor of Idaho today, succeed
ing James 81. Hawley. A simple
ceremony marked the induction
into office of the new governor anc
other state officials. The twelfth
legislature convened at noon Jan.
6, and after effecting organization
both the house and senate ad-
journed until Tuesday, when the
regular business of the session will
begin G. S. French, a progressive
was elected speaker of the house.
John Hart, republican, was electet
president pro tenn of the senate
There were no developments in
the senatorship, other than the
growing control of the house by
the prOgressives, but which does
not extend, as yet, to the senate.
Peter johnson, leader of the last
house and Governor Gooding Is
manager, was displaced from his
craftsmanship, while Conner, JUS
tice Ailshie's PARTISAN, lost the
speakership. Brady, because of
throwing himself in with the pro-
gressives, is now unquestionably
the leading candidate in voting
strength, but is far from having
enough to elect and with only a
desperate chance ultimately pro-
curing a majority on joint ballot.
Simplicity and brevity marked
the ceremonies in the house of
representative when the newly
elected state officers took the
oath of office. The retiring gov
ernor presented the governor-elect
and Justice Ailshie administered
the oath of office. Other state
officers followed in order and but
few minutes were required to
install the new administration.
The proceedings were married by
the lack of space due to the
crowd of spectators that overflow
ed from the gallery to the floor.
Robert N. Bell who was re-elect-
ed state inspector of mines did
not appear. He will be sworn in
later.
The inaugural proceedings in
the legislative houses occupied 20
minutes. l.. w. Sweetser. the
retiring lieutenant governor, call
ed the first session of the Senate

lowing the installation of the Off
Gals. The proceedings were brief
and formal. After the reading
of the certificates of election the
oath of office was administered
to all in body by Justice Ailshie
Every senator was present except
Deffenbach of Bonner Lieuten-
ant-Governor Herman E. Taylor
spoke briefly, saying that he was
proud to preside over such a
body. He made special appeal
for harmonious action in the in

The senate was organized by
the election of Hart as president
