Railroad conditions in M.xleo

For weeks the only rail outlet from
Mexico City has been a marrow guage
line running by way of the City of
Toluca. about fifty miles distant Re
Gently the military authorities at
Mexico City appointed a new General
superintendent for this division. When
this official made his first inspections
trip over the road he found three 10
comotives on a siding between Toluca
and the capital.
Rolling stock of all kinds being
greatly needed for bringing in supplies
to a starving population, the new Di-
vision Superintendent gave orders to
have these locomotives put into COM
mission. Trainmen who attempted to
carry out the orders were met by sew
eral stern individuals who told them
at the point of rifles that the engines
must not be moved.
These engines, said the leader of
the armed band, belong to Senorita
-, naming a popular young woman
Of the district. They were presented
to her last week by the general of our
brigade. He has detailed us here to
watch them. Without her permission
the locomotives cannot be moved from
here
The young woman not appearing on
the scene, the puzzled superintendent
finally gave up the attempt.

Dickens As a Penmao,

The fragment of "Pickwick" manu-
script now awaiting a purchaser at
Christies on behalf of the Red Cross
bears witness to a characteristic of the
great novelist which has seldom been
noted-the excellence of his penman-
ship. Though apt to be microscopic
and plentifully interlined, his manu-
scripts are excellent copy from the
compositor's point of view, with every
letter perfectly formed and unmistSk-
able. This is the more surprising when
it is remembered that Dickens came to
novel-writing after a long spell of re-
porting, in the course of which he fire.
quently had to transcribe his notes in
a coach. "by the Pickering aid of a
carriage lamp. while jofting over roads
that almost jumped him out Of his
.seat"-Pau Mall Gazette.

MISS HOLLOWAY'S WORK
Had Made Valuable Report on States
Industrial Conditions,
The New Haven Register says:

The New Haven Register says:
All interested in suffrage and better
industrial conditions for women will
be most appreciative of the fact that
the house and senate unanimously
passed the appropriation for Miss
Charlotte Molyneux Holloway, the spe-
cia1 investigator of the industrial COM
mission of the state
This is a merited recognition of the
ability and conscientious work of Miss
Holloway, whose work as special in
vestigator in industrial conditions of
wage earning women and girls in
Connecticut" has been highly COM
mended by the most prominent mem
bers of the house and senate, and is
and certainly should be most appre-
ciated by the people of Connecticut
Miss Holloway is a native of Con-
necticut, is a D. A. r, and is very
prominent In Catholic circles and is
president of the Ladies of Isabella of
this state and other organizations.
In her report she has presented a
clear, concise and accurate state
ment of conditions. 1t is one of the
most valuable revelations to industrial
conditions yet published.
Miss Holloway devotes a chapter to
Woman as an Asset. Each of the
large cities in the state have a chap
ter devoted to the industrial condition
of its women and also the relations of
work and wages. The smaller cities
are grouped The stories of the women
workers should make suffrage popular
They need it, although Miss Hollo-
ways report only deals with facts
and certainly avoids all sensational
statements.

Struck Norwich Owned WAGON.

An automobile owned and driven by
William S. Johnson of Hartford was in
collision Wednesday afternoon in New
London with a two-horse team owned
by the N. S. Gilbert company Of this
city. The Gilbert team suffered the
loss of several epokes; the automobile
was slightly damaged. The occupants
of both vehicles escaped injury be-
cause of the slow speed at which the
vehicles were moving.
The automobile was about to turn
from Union street into State. The
Gilbert outfit headed down the street,
the drivers believing that each other
would remain at the reduced speed.
Then each started his vehicle as
though to pass, with the result that
the two vehicles came together Pa
trolman Hammond was on hand, but as
the accident was entirely unavoidable
no arrests were made. johnson con-
scented to defray the costs attached to
the repair of the broken wheel.

POLITICAL G0sSIPs

When one class Of people has any,
thing to say, It has become largely
the custom to make political issue
out of 1t instead of friendly discus
sion, to print it in law book instead
Of newspaper and to argue it be-
fore jury instead Of to settle it in
the higher courts of Common Sense.
As Q result, political agitators, polit7
ical lawyers, political preachers and
masculine women are powerful in
politics and dissension, selfishness, in
tolerance and Mysteries run rampant
in public affairs, for when the low.
damp, murky atmosphere Of misun-
derstanding envelops public thought
it breeds political reptiles, yermin.
bugs and lice which the pure air OF
truth and the sunshine of understand
ing will choke to death.
We have too many self-appointed
interpreters of industry who are In
capable of grasping the fundamental
principles of business and who at best
can only translate gossip and add
color to sensational stories. No busi-
ness can stand upon error and might
rules-right or wrong. No industry
can thrive upon misunderstanding,
for public opinion is more powerful
than a Kings sword.
When prejudice, suspicion and
class hatred prevail, power gravitates
into the hands of the weak, for dema-
gogues thrive upon dissension and
statesmen sicken upon strife.
The remedy lies in eliminating the
middleman-the political gossip-and
this result can be accomplished by
the managers Of business sitting
around the table of industry and talk
ing it over with the people. Inter
change of information between indus
tries and the people is as necessary
to success in business as interchange
in commodities, for the people can
only rule when the public under
stands. Away with political interpret
ers who summon evil spirits from
their prison cells and loose them to-
prey upon the welfare Of the people
in the name of My Country

ANNUAL Meeting
Of AMERICAN
PL0WMEN
National Farmers Union Renders Un-
selfish Service to Agriculture.
BY Peter Radford.

The National Farmers Union VIII
hold Its annual convention in Lincoln
Nebraska, on September seventh, and
will round out the eleventh year Of
It's activities in the interest Of tho
American plowman. When that con-
vention is called to order every farm
er in America should pause and bow
his head in honor of the men gath
cred there to render a patriotic and
unself1sh service to agriculture. That
organization, born in the cotton fields
Of Texas, has grown until geograph-
= ically 1t covers almost the whole Of
the United States and economically
it deals with every question in which
the welfare Of the men who bare;
their backs to the summer sun are
involved. It has battled for a better
marketing system, rural credits, cheap
money, diversification, scientific pro-
duction, agricultural legislation and
has carried on its work of education
and cooperation in season and out.
h0 L al GQuSdIlOudl duu W.
operative Union of America brings
the question of organization squarely
before every farmer in this nation.
Without organization the farmers can
neither help themselves nor be helped
by others and through organization
and systematic effort all things are
possible.
The farmers of the United States
contribute more and get less from.
government than any other class Of
business. They have better securities
and pay a higher rate Of interest
than any other line Of industry. They
market more products and have less
to say in fixing the price than any
other bt&ness and they get more
political buncombe and less construc-
tive legislation than any other class
of people The farmers can only ac-
quire such influence in business, in
government and in economics as will,
enable them to share equitably the.
fruits Of their labor through organiza-I
ton and every farmer on American
soil who desires to help himself and
his fellow plowmen should rally
around the Union.
