recently with the American Political

Liberty is at many times sacrificed

means real liberty to choose. The

real respect for individual freedom OF

SIMPLY ROBBED THEM.
Mean Trick a Political Boss Played
Upon His Ward Heelers.


A veteran politician when the sub
ject of political graft and blackmail
came up told of the experience of the
boss of certain city who was some
thing in the way Of a collector him
self
One day near the close of a hot cam
paign he managed to round up some
$4,000. With couple of his pals he
had a bibulous celebration. About 2 In
the morning he was clinging to lamp
post and trying to call a cab when two
of his heelers hove in sight He knew
they would rob him if they suspected
he had money. Bracing himself, he
greeted them with:
Hello. fellows; lucky you happened
along. I'm dead broke and want a
cab. Get one aud take me to my ho-
tel and I'll make good"
When they reached the hotel the
drunken boss sleepily asked the clerk
to give each of his companions $5
bill At the same time he drew from
his trousers pocket huge roll of bills
and throwing it at the clerk, told him
to keep that wad of stuff in a safe
place until morning"
Disgustedly the heeIers watched the
safe door close on the young fortune
that had escaped them, While the boss
sank into a chair
"Oh. you thief angrily shouted one
of the heelers as he shook his fist un-
der the nose of the boss, That's the
meanest double cross you ever gave
friend in your whole crooked career.
You said you was broke and yon had
thousands in the wad Confound you.
there's no one d fellow can trust these
days That money belongs to us by
rights and you've robbed US of it,

Reduce Mine Fatalities.

Washington, Feb. 6, In the
forthcoming annual report Director
Holmes of the Bureau of Mines
will call attention to the general
increase of interest IF Mine work
ers operators, and the public in
general in question relating to
safety in this industry. Mr. Holmes
will report that in spite of the
fact that there has been a consider
able increase in the amount of coal
mined and in the number of coal
miners employed, there has been
marked decrease in the number of
fatalities and bodily injuries in min
ing operations. With the Bureau
of Mines does not claim all the
credit for this condition, the bu-
reau's activity in securing informa-
ton and investigating the question
of accident prevention has stimu-
lated both worker and operator,
who, together with the various
state mine inspectors, have lent
their hearty cooperation in devel-
oping sentiment that will aid in
the reduction of fatalities. This
sentiment has resulted in the quite
general establishment of mine res
cue and first aid corps or squads
by mining, companies wherever
the Bureau Of Miners cars have
done training and demonstration
work, which has been making prac-
tical illustrations for the past three
years, during which time 81, 203
miners have been trained in the
use OF the necessary equipment.
During the past year over 46, 900
persons (mainly miners) visited
the mine rescue safety cars and
stations maintained by the bureau,
nearly $4,000 miners attended the
mine safety lecture, and more than
5, 500 miners were given rescue or
frst-aid training.

MEETING HALFWAY.
Church and Labor Join Hands Far Up
lift of Society.

The Central Labor union of Phild-
G9ipbia admitted six clergymen as fra
ternal delegates at its meeting on a re
cent Sunday afternoon. This action is
noticed for two reasons First, the
commission on social service of the IN
terchHreh federation asked that the
religious organizations be represented
in the general body that looks after
the interests of union labor; second,
the Central Labor union, which al
ready included one or more clergymen
in its membership decided that the
representatives Of the church are still
eligible
The church made the advances. and
union labor met it halfway The
church thereby justified it's profession
to be interested in the social and moral
uplift. 1t is seeking to give direct help
to every member of society Its inter
est In the poor is MS great as its inter
est In the rich and it's interest in the
professional man is as keen as its de-
sire to do good TO the mechanic. The
labor union on the other hand, is try
Ing TO uplift society by lifting up
union laborers alone on the theory that
il one man is helped all are benefited.
Ii is Citing that the church and the
labor union should work together IN
this common cause the church for the
moral upiift and the union for the eco
nomic upIift. 1t may then come to pass
that the church as a body will have
better understanding of the struggle
for existence in which the tens of
thousands Of unchurched working men
are engaged and on the foundation of
sympathy may build a superstructure
of great helnfl9less. 1t may happen
also that Che union laborers will profit
by association with the clergymen,
They may learn that the golden rule is
a better guide than the rule of retalia-
ton and that the most rapid social up
lift viii come when all rise together

Sena1e U. K. S Alaska Road.

Washington, Feb. 6.-The Unit.
ed States senate, by a vote of 46 to
l6, has passed the Alaska railway
bill, which directs the president to
purchase or cons ruct 900 miles
of railroad in Alaska at cost not
to exceed 10000, 600. The bill
gives the president broad powers in
selecting a route from tidewater to
the interior, and in the construc-
ton, equipment and operation or
leasing of such lines as he may
build or buy to constitute this
route. Seventy five per cent of ell
moneys derived from the sale of
public lands in Alaska or of the
coal or mineral shall be placed in a
fund for the use of the road, which
may utilize any machinery used in
the construction OF the Panama
canal. The government is prohib-
tied from buying the good wilI'
of existing roads, and injured EN-
ployes are given the right to sue
the government. An amendment
that will make the federal en-
ployes' liability law of 1908 appli-
cable to the government as a rail
way operator was adopted unani-
mously A similar bill is now
pending in the House of Repre-
sentatives, and it is predicted that
it will be adopted.

strike have failed because the com

of the grievance committee would
not be re-employed, and that all

will. The strikers rejected the
proposals. The differences have
