Conveniences For MOVING Bees.

In the cold climates where bees are

advisable to cover several colonies with
one shed and TO move them nearer the

THE GREATEST RAILROAD.
Africa's Famous Cape to Cairo Line
viii Be Unique.

When all the great railroad trunks of
the world have been built, a decade or
two hence, four of them will appear
upon the map in heavy black, indicat-
ing that they surpass all others in i'm
portance. These viii be: The Pan
American, from the arctic wastes Of
Canada to the strait of Magellan; the
Transsiberian, from the Atlantic to
the Pacific across northern Europe and
Asia; the TranspersiaD or some other
line, from the southeast of Europe to
India, and the Cape to Cairo
The Pan-American and the Indo- Eu-
ropean railways may surpass the Cape
to Cairo as commercial arteries, and
the Transsiberian will doubtless fig
ure more potently as a strategic line,
but for the sheer interest of the coun-
try trayersed--for the picturesque vari-
ETY. and romantic appeal of the pano-
ramas running like double cinemato-
graph films past the car windows-the
great African trunk can never know
rival
Six thousand miles across 65 degrees
of latitude; score of climates, and
the lands Of a hundred different peo-
pies or tribes; the second longest of the
worlds rivers and two OF its largest
lakes; the greatest dam ever built, con
serving water for the worlds richest
lands; the most imposing and ancient
of all temples; the greatest waterfall,
and the most important gold and dia-
mond mines, and finally one of the last
great expanses of real wilderness, the
only place in the world where the wild
beasts of the jungle may be seen in
their primitive state from a train-all
these seen, trayersed or experienced in
twelve days! Surely there can never
be another such railway as this.-Lew

ware of prejudices working divi-
sions and hostility among you; the
strongest bond of human sympathy
outside of the family relations
should be one, uniting all working

The object of the labor move
ment IS to unite all working people
of all nations, tongues and kindreds
into one grand organization, so
that it may combat the attacks of

We ought to realize that outside
of our love for the country of our
birth the working people of the
world have one interest in common.
They all seek better working con-
ditions, less hours, more wages,
greater liberty and the opportunity
for every man and women to enjoy
in full measure, the earth and the
fullness thereof.

What Prohibition Means to the
United States.

Last year the breweries, distil-
leries and wineries paid the U. S.
Government $685., 900, 900 out of
which our Uncle Samuel paid the
total expenses of both the War and
Navy Departments, amounting to
S246, SCI, 389, 06, and leaving him
neat balance of $50, 1873, ,610.34.
Prohibition would stop that ex-
tremely useful revenue, and enable
us to increase our War Taxes
largely in order TO make up the
deficit.
This constant agitation makes a
feeling of unrest that is far from
good for business generally.

states system of leasing convicts
During the past few years this
society has been very active in ex-
posing and breaking up the horri-
lie conditions found in some of
these convict camps. In many
cases we found these unfortunate
prisoners were being driven with
curses, urged with blows and forced
to live in a condition that would
shame dog breeder if he kenneled
his animals in place approx
mately as bad. Some of these men
who worked and abused such pri-
soners were men of wealth and
much political influence, making
it extremely difficult to obtain such
information that would justify the
officers of the society in presenting
the matter before the public But
we have never failed to report cen
ditions as we found them, regard
less of who it pleased or displeased.

ened to such sentiment that will

Presidents Veto of Inmi=
grafton Restriction Bill
Is Sustained.

Washington. Feb. l9-By vote
of PSI to 1856 the House of Repre-
sentatives, Thursday, February 4,
refused to pass the Burnett immi-
grafton bill over the Presidents
veto.
A two thirds vote was necessary
to pass the bill.
If any four of the 1876 that voted
against labor had voted for labor,
the bill would have passed.
For over FIVE hours the House
discussed the question. The friends
of immigration restriction put forth
their most eloquent pleaders for
the maintenance of American ideals
and insisted that the literacy test
was in accord with the demands
for compulsory education that has
now become a part of the life of
this country. Attention was called
to the unanimous demand of the
American Federation of Labor, the
railroad brotherhoods and the far
mers' organizations for restrictive
immigration policy that American
standards may be continued.
The evidence made public by the
American Federation of Labor,
showing that the National Liberal
Immigration league has been Fl
nanced by the shipping, coal, steel,
and other trusts, is now in the pub
lie records. Representatives Bath
rick of Ohio included this evidence
in his speech supporting the bill.
Representatives Burnett, chair
man of the House committee on
immigration, closed the debate with
a strong speech urging that the
Presidents veto be sustained.
An analysis of the vote shows
that the campaign steadily main
tanned by those who oppose litter
acy of immigrants is proving effec-
tive. Friends of restriction polled
48 more votes to pass the bill over
President Wilson s veto than they
polled when President Taft's veto
was only increased by %
Representative Burnett announc-
ed after the vote was taken that he
would introduce another immigra
ton restriction bill Immediately
after next Congress convenes.
Unionists and other friends Of i'm
migration restriction may secure a
record of all the debates on this
question by writing to their Repre-
Sentatlves tor copy OF the Con-
