at the paIlid faces, the wearied walk,
the air of respondent resignation, to
compare this to the happy-faced me-
chanic or the weI-grOOmed bank
clerk. There is a difference. The
daily length of a mans labor toll
counts heavily in weighing his health
and happiness"
MahOn made the most impressive
witness of any who have taken the
stand at the arbitration hearing The
whole tendency of the civilized war is
toward a reduction of the hours of
labor, he said, and his plea for Short
er hours for the car men was ear
nest and convincing.
Touching the question Of salary,
he said a man could not properly sup
port a wife and three children on
less than $1,215 year. This allowed
for only meager amusements and no
luXuTies.
The men rested their case yester-
day. The company will begin its side
Monday morning. It promises to be
finished by next Friday.

The above is what VIM. D. MahOn,
international president of the Car
mems union, told the street car aTbi-
tration committee hearing yesterday.
1--WE contend that these improve
ments were not all created solely for
the capitalists to get more dividends"
said MahOn.
''The capitalist corporation reaps
enormous added profit on each in
vention which reduces the cost of
production. The working men are
entitled to share in the increased
profits resulting from the advance of
civilization. There is no other way
for a working man to share in the
benefits of improved machinery ex-
cept by shorter hours and better
wages.
1.-The number of hours a man works
has a direct effect upon his life. Go
into a district of the city where live
the ones who toll long hours. Then
go to where the 8-hoUr-a-day me-
Chanics live, and then look to where
the 6-hOUr office men dwell. Notice
the squalOT Of the first district, Look

In the days Of the horse car
car would handle from 400 to
500 in a 16-hOUr day. Along
came the electric car, which car
ries as many on a round trip.
The mule power means Of
transportation was abandoned. A
far more profitable as well as
more rapid and comfortable
transportation medium replaced
it. But no benefit from the i'm
prOvement has come to the men
who toll.
Inventions have come as a
blessing to humanity. Labor is
entitled to its share in the bene-
fits that accrue. But labor has
never gotten its share. When a
great mechanical improvement
has resulted from the. creative
genius of some mind capital has
taken the plum and thrown to
labor the seed and the Tind.

NO LOOKING BACK IN PIERRE

Since the long succession of Pierre
reports were FIRST published in the
local press there has been no looking
back. Pierre evidence continues to
pour in, and-better still-those

many years ago, verify all they said

Anton Hansen of 257 Pawnee st. He
says: Il was in bad shape as the re

SO painful that l couldn't lift and
any exertion made the complaint
worse. Doan's Kidney Pills, pro-
cured at Straight & Co.'s Drug Store,
helped me at once, and before long
the pains and other troubles left. All

clerical errors, all require the presence 1t tax

local board to the County Board Of Equalization.

EGAN INVITED 10 THE CARPET

II has become known that George w.
Egan, attorney and politician, will proba-
BY have to face second disbarment pro-
ceedings. Attorney General Caldwell,
who has full charge and control of all such
matters, has filed a report with the clerk
of the state supreme court, alleging that
complaints now on file justify the court
to make an investigation of Egan's con-
duct as a lawyer and recommending that
q formal hearing be held on the charges.
In the preliminary report the attorney
general holds that the evidence warrants
the court in advancing to a formal hear
ing Of the charges. The petition refers
to three cases-the Kickland case, the
Jacob Aatland case of Garretson, and the
Henry Rickgauer case of Charles Mix
county.
It is probable that the supreme court
will designate a referee to take evil
dence in this disbarment proceeding and
that the referees hearing will be held at
Sioux Falls. When the evidence has
been assembled, for and agai INST the ac-
cused, the documents will go before the
supreme court for a decree.
In December last, when in Pierre, Mr..
Egan stated that he would be a candidate
for governor before the republican prim-
aries, since which time the Byrne-Nor-
beck political machine pirates have been
~tireless in their efforts to discredit him.
The findings" of Attorney General c,
C. Caldwell in the disbarment proceedings
is no surprise to those who are acquainted
with the workings of the Byrne-Norbech
political republican machine. Caldwell
was accepted as the candidate of the ma
chine for attorney general, not because OF
ability he possessed, but for the reason its
operators seen in him one who would with
haste and willingness carry into effect the
wisches of the machine m~anipuiators,
and in the that would please them
best.
While the attorney general is absolute
~ under machine rue, that machine posi-
lively can not control nor influence any
any member of the supreme court.
