IF the Democratic leaders think or
believe that there is not an indus
trial depression in the country, let
them ask the railroads to make a
statement as to traffic conditions, and
the number of empty cars on the sid
ings," said w. A. Rodenburgh, former
member of the house of representa-
tives from East ST. Louis. Il chal-
lenge the Democrats to Investigate

and on the train | met the traffic man
ager Of one of the big railroads. He
is a Democrat, but he is business
man. He pointed out thousands of
empty cars on the sidfngs, and he ex-
planned that there are in the country
hundreds of thousands of empties
crowding the side tracks. Hundreds
of thousands, mind you, whereas a
year ago there was a shortage.
The prosperity of the railroads
means the prosperity OF the country.
1t is statistical fact that 40 per cent.
Of the steel industry of the country
is dependent upon the railroads. The
ramitications of this industry are in
calculable. / believe that if the five
per cent. increase in rates should be
granted by the interstate commerce
commission, it would mean an almost
immediate resumption of activity by
the great railroad lines. AS it is, no
extension work has been planned or
done for long time.
There can be no doubt that the Re-
publican party will win this year. The
Progressives have been disintegrating
for long time. There will be no har-
mony among Republicans and Progress
sives, unless Colonel Roosevelt de-
crees it. 1t is up to him. The Pro-
gressive party without Colonel Roose-
welt would not live q month. 1t was
not the Progressive party principles
that made Democratic victory posi-
bic, but the personality of Mr.. Roose-
welt. I do not believe that Colonel

RooseveIt's Position.

A full discussion of the discredit-
able part Theodore Roosevelt played

Taft points out that the sources from
which the Roosevelt votes came were

society could be relieved by the adop-

who were glad to find their home
with a party that was a protest
against everything that was and gave
therefore promise of a change IN
their own conditions. Reviewing
these facts Mr.. Taft comes to the
fair conclusion that Roosevelt was
far from receiving at the polls the
support of a majority of all the voters
who had a right to a voice In the
selection at Chicago Of the Republican
candidate for the presidency.

town to the field and competed with

martial match was a dinner of calf's
head and bacon! In 1910. however,
such remuneration seeming unworthy
of the mighty efforts they put forth
for it's attainment. the two incumbents
of that office refused to shoot for their
dinner. and the high magisterial con-
sent was obtained to substitute foot
race for the archery trial and silver
plate for the dinner-that is, instead OF
the dinner. After that they had to pay
for all their meals on Easter.

sovereign remedy against all kinds Of
ills.
Many of these eggs have traced upon

preceding Easter the priests leave the
church as If going out to seek the body

to the candles of the supplicating
throng. In a twinkling the church Is
ablaze with light and incense. where

What They Symbolic In Various

There are many superstitions in con

PASSOVER AND EASTER.
Why II Is That They Do Not Always
Correspond.

Since the events of holy week and
the resurrection took place during the
Jewish passover it seems strange that
the celebration in the synagogues and
in Christian churches should not al
ways be at the same time. Some years
the times coincide. but they are often
a week apart The explanation is that
the Jewish calendar, which dates from
the creation of the world, is regulated
by the rabbis, Their system is based
on the lunar month, which is often
nearly two days shorter than the
month of the Christian calendar. Cor
rections are made. but instead of a
day such as is added in leap year a
month is added, so that some Jewish
years consist of thirteen months. AS
Easter always falls on the first Sun
day following the full moon next after
March 81. this additional month in
certain years causes a variation be-
tween the passover and the Christian
festival.

PRAYING for Our Friends.

Praying for our friends and ac-
quaintaeces is the best service that
we can ever render them. But how
often have we felt sharply limited in
the time and opportunity at our dis
posal for praying as we should like
to pray for the many whom we hold
dear. A man of manifold and heavy
responsibilities, and of rich prayer
life, told a friend of a simple prac-
tice that had helped him in this diff
ficulty. Il am not able to do nearly
what l should like to do in the way
of prayer for my friends" he said,
but whenever the thought of friend
comes into our mind, in the midst of
other duties, we can on the instant
just think upward as we think of
that friend, and the upward thought
will surely be received by the father
in heaven as carrying that friend be-
fore him in loving intercession. Per-
haps the life of prayer without ceas-
ing is just life of ceaselessly up
ward thinking. SELECTED.

is WORLDS LONGEST TUNNEL
That Of the CatskiII Aqueduct in New
York Is the Record In
Earth's Behring'S.

The two tunnel headings of the
new Catskill aqueduct, which is to
give New York its water supply
were joined together by boring a
short time ago.
That operation opens the longest
stretch of continuous tunnel in the
world. The clear length from end
to end of this portion of the great
conduit is IS miles, or 6 miles longer
than the Simplon, the holder of the
former record for tunnel length.
AS a result of the last blast there
is an unobstructed opening for the
free flow of water from one end of
the Catskill aqueduct to the other,
a distance of 10 miles, and the dan
ger Of a water famine, such as
threatened New York city a few
years ago, is now definitely removed.
In an emergency Catskill water
could be delivered to New York now
at very short notice.
Now that the waterway opening is
cleared, the work remaining is the
completion of the tunnel Innings and
the installation of the regulating
works at the shafts. Thus the aque-
duct has developed in a few years
from an irregular black line on a
sheet of tracing paper to hundred
mile tube of concrete and steel.
