A WORD ABOUT THE SCOT
And the Influence He Yields All Over
the World.

Wherever the Scotchman goes he be
comes n leader. You hear of the Irish
vote, The German vote. the Italian
vote, but you hear only of Scottish
leadership. He has had n powerful In
luence on our country.
Our first newspaper was published
by Scotchman; a Scot first won In
ters; the steamboat. telephone. telc-
graph and electric light were devised
by men OF Scotch descent. The second
college In our land was founded by n
Scotch divine; our constitution was
framed and adopted largely 10y the In
fluence of two Scotch lawyers; our
most majestic orator. our most win
ming politician. our most metaphysical
statesman, our greatest diplomatist
and our greatest poet were of Scotch
lineage. SO of many of our business
captains and railroad magnates. almost
one-half Of our presidents and large
proportion Of our cabinet members,
Judges and governors. Was there ever
such n drain Of leadership upon like
area?
The Scotch have not alone helped
make America. They control Austria
lia, direct New Zealand. lead Canada
and rule Africa. For centuries Scot
and Briton were bitterest enemies. Ed
inburgh and Paris conspired against
London. The union when It finally
came was one of crowns and not OF
hearts. There still turks Jealousy un-
der the surface. Write letter TO n
loyal Glasgonian. address 1t "North
Britain" and see what happens.-Sam-

railroad lines in the United States nave

united in demand for new basis Of
pay for all men engaged In opera ting
trains. except those In passenger serv-
Ice. At the present time they are paid
on the basis of ten hours OF time or
100 miles OF distance, whichever gives
them the higher pay; and every man
receives n full days pay, no matter
how short time he works
The trainmen now demand that. In
all but passenger service, 1) the. pres
ent ten hours pay shall he given for
eight hours or less, with a guarantee
OF full days pay. no matter how lit
tie service Is performed; (2) overtime
to begin after eight hours. instead Of
after ten hours. and TO be paid for at
one and one half times the hourly rate
These demands would increase the
hourly rate Of pay % per cent, and the
overtime rate S7la per cent.
They also insist that all special extra
pay provisions in the 10-hour schedules
shall be included in the proposed
B-hour schedule.
These special rules frequently give
double pay for the same service, and
enable the employees to earn two and
three days pay in n single day of
ordinary working hours.
AS the increase for all the lines Is ca.
timatcd TO amount to $1O000O,000 a
wear the railroads say that they cannot
pay IL unless they are allowed TO in
crease freight and passenger rates.
The average wages Of the men en-.
gagged In train service are already very
much higher than those of other en-
ployees and they receive % per cent of
the total payroll although constituting
only 1S per cent Of the whole number
Of railroad workers.

PAID IN CORN AND RYE.
Two Old Time Offenders and the Way
They Were Punished.


Two poets, both honest and peaceable
and one II Quaker, were fond Of telling
anecdotes Of two old time deiinquents,
the one quarrelSome and the other
thlcvish. John GrcenleX Whittier was
exceedingly fond of quoting the lines,
the Iavcrhlll countryside:
The man who whipped old Timothy Swan
Paid his fine In Indian corn.
lie paid his fine and he paid II quick
a peck Of corn for every lick!
Whether the fine imposed on old Tim
Othy's assailant was judicially dccreed
and legally assessed nobody knows
But in the case OF IA fine Of three bush
els OF rye once ordered paid by Ebe
nezer Smell, grandfather OF William
Cullen Bryant, ii IS quite certain that
neither judge nor jury had anything to
do with the matter. Nevertheless II
was paid and promptly.
"My grandfather" Bryant used to re-
late, "once found that certain pieces Of
lumber, intended for the runners Of
sled and called IN that part Of the coun-
leave by farmer who lived at no great
distance. Such timbers were made
from tree, the grain OF which was
curved SO as to correspond with the
curve required I'm the runners.
"The delinquent received notice that
his offense was known and that If he
wished to escape prosecution he must
carry Il bushel of rye TO each Of three
poor widows living In the ncighbor-
hood and tell them why he brought it,"
He escaped prosecution. But II the
tongues of the three poor widows were
rs lively as those Of most country gos
sips and the public opinion of the vii
lage as strict rs in most New England
communities he did not escape punish
ment good deal in excess of three com
pulsorily bestowed bushels OF rye

AS a result OF the demands for moro
wages which the train service EN- loye,
OF the railroads have been prcSslni upon
the transportation lines, the coul ry is
greatest strike and the most rious
Industrial catastrophe In It's h tory
The engineers, conductors, firemC / and
brakcmen on practically all the rail
road lines have voted TO place their
entire interests In charge OF & few
leaders within their organization. and
to give these leaders authority I, call
a strike If they wish to do so.
What such strike would me n TO
the American people cannot b set
forth I'm mere facts and figures. { can
lie dimly imagined by those who real
lie what an intimate and vital part
transportation plays in every indu itrial
activity OF the country.
Cities Would Face Starvation.
There Is scarcely a person f. any
part Of the land who would not ! i'm
medlately affected II the milFio IS of
busily turning wheels on our ! early
three hundred thousand miles o rail
way were to stop for single dc p. IL
the tie-up continued for a wee the
would be greater than that caus Il by
any panic of recent history. II the
big cities Of the country, and pg ticu-
larly TO the cities Of the easter sea
board, II would mean cutting II of
food supplies that would place in
habitants virtually In state of iege
In the case of many food pr lucts
these cities do not carry on h nd n
stock sufficient To feed their pcoI for
more than a week, and In the c Sc of
some, such as milk and fresh yege.
tables, supplies are replenishcd laily.
The stoppage OF transportation here
fore, would mean suffering and want
to these city dwellcrs, and II con nued
for long would threaten many of them
with actual starvation.
Vast Loss to Farmers.
ITO the farmers Of the country gen
eral railroad strike would be n atas-
trophe, only less serious. Cut of from
his market, the farmer could not move
his produce, and the price Of era I and
other staples would be quickly ut I'm
two, while the market value OF more
perishable articles would diSappc en-
tircly. The strike would make ex-
tremely difficult to harvest ere IS I'm
many sections. II would make Il , dis
posal of the crops impossible and
would inflict losses amounting {, hun
dreds Of millions Of dollars upol the
farmers OF the country.
The great industrial plants the
country would soon he forced e close
down following the declaration of a
strike because they could not btain
supplies needed for their operate ., nor
could they ship their finished pr lucts
to market. Their plants woulG soon
be idle, and millions OF men wo id be
thrown out Of work.
With the income OF prac cally
every class OF citizens either seri.
ously cut down or suspended tire
ly, merchants would transact little
business. because there would | few
purchasers. In short. the ind strial
activities OF the whole country would
be virtually palsied from the m ment
the railroads ceased to operate. The
injury to the railway companies nd to
the striking employees would be enor-
nous. but Il would be iniinit sinai
compared with the staggering 10, that
would fall upon the general pub G.

Baseball Galore!

Last Friday, by way of prac-
tice and future events, Snow
fake and Taylor baseball teams
played a game on the Academy
campus, and although Taylor
had to dig and scratch to COM
plete their nine, they finally Sc
cured the necessary number and
played with a vim and determina-
tion to win. The game was we'll
attended and proved quite in
teresting to the spectators as
we'll as to the players and a
goodly amount Of practice was
the result. The final score was
13 to 6 in favor of the home
team. This made it two straight
for Snowflake against Taylor,
and the Taylor team was de-
termined that Snowflake should
not win three straights. Ac-
cordingly they challenged Snow
flake for third game to be
played on Saturday, saying that
they had made arrangements to
have the Taylor team fully rep
resented with Taylor men. This
last game proved to be the most
interesting and exciting of all
and there was a very large
crowd present from both Taylor
and Snowflake to root and holler
for their respective town. The
visitors would have gone down
to utter defeat for the third
time by score of IL to 4 had it
not been that our boys went up
in the air. got somewhat rat
tied, made a series of about
seven errors, and did not sue
ceed in putting three men out
in the eighth inning until after
the brave and determined Taylor
boys had made a total of nine
scores. This number of runs
proved to be all that Taylor
needed to win the game by a
score of 13 to IL, as they goose
egged Snowflake in one, two,
three fashion in Snowfake's
part of the ninth inning amid
loud roofing and applauding on
the part of Taylor boosters and
patriots.

A GrandStand Needed for
Our Athletic Grounds

Now that the athletic grounds
and race track have been put in
first-class shape, grandstand
should be erected in a convenient
place to accommodate all or a
portion of the big crowd that
will be here during the st.
Johns-Snowfake M. |. A. meet.
The grandstand could be put up
at small cost and if substantially
built would last for many years.
No doubt it would pay for itself
by patronage the coming meet,
and would come into good use
at future baseball and baseket-
ball games, horse races and
athletic sports.
Many young men of the town
have signified their willingness
to donate work on such struct-
ure, and we believe enough 9TH
ers will donate" to not oc-
casion the hiring of any help
whatever, leaving as the only
cash expense the lumber and
nails, which probably can be
procured at a greatly reduced
rate from those who want to
help out in a worthy enterprise.
Why not get busy with the
proposition? 1t would take only
a few days to build the structure.
Well donate our part.
