Old Engines Wants a Pen

Edgar Jay Dwyer, former chief en-
gineer of Central Division, No 157,
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers,
in an open letter to President Wilson
which is printed in the New York Sun.
says:
IT notice you used four pens to sign
the eight-hour day bill and that you
presented one of them to each head of
the four great railroad brotherhoods.
WAS that action merely for dema-
gogic effect, or did you intend 1t for a
cheap form of bribery, expecting by
that means to get the votes of the
two million railroad men in tho United
States? If the latter supposltion is the
true Interpretation of that benevolent
action on your part, fail to see where
receive any benefit from it. For nearly
all my active life I have been an em-
ploye of the Central Railroad CT New
Jersey and for twenty three years be-
fore I resigned I was a locomotive en-
gineer and still belong to the brother
hood.
''Ncw, my dear Mr.. President, as I am
no longer earning wages. get no bene-
fit from the eight-hour law, but I am
interested in pens. Not pig pens.
am not interested In pork; even the
luscious lubricating pork that has been
so extensively used to grease the palms
of deserving Democrats does no. appeal
to me. / refer to the common steel pen
that casts about a cent.
IT want a good serviceable one, that
1 can use to write articles intended to
promote the true interest of every
American citizen.
IF you can send me such a pen. I
pledge myself to vote for you on No
vember provided you can convince me
that the policy advocated by yourself
and party will do more to advance
American industry and employ more
American wage earners than the policy
advocated by Charles Evans Hughes
and the united Republican party.

the present time. and my stock of pens

State this year. and at the Democratic
powwow at Harrisburg on Thursday
Pennsylvania went Democratic. 1t is
true that the election was not official
ly held, and that no ballots were cast,
but the 500 enthusiastic and deserving
Democrats who had assembled at the
State Capitol for the purpose of in
forming the candidates for State
offices that they had been nominated,
agreed that it was all over but the
shouting. In a fine frenzy of excite
ment the faithful 500 decided to have
a Pennsylvania Day" at Shadow

taken into their secret and given the
glad news from this State. The inten-
ton was to surprise him with the re-
suit on election day, but it was finally
agreed that the news was really too

Mrs. Levy is a friend of Freda

ter of DR.. George w. Kirchwey, for
a time acting warden of Sing Sing

In addition to Miss Kirchwey and
Miss Calm three other girls who were

Contract marriages are not fire.
quent in the United States, although
they are as binding in law as a relig-

have been customary for many
years.
Levy said when he filed the docu-
ment:
I'VE thought we ought to marry
ourselves instead of having someone
else marry u.s. I am surprised that
more young people do not adopt the
same method which the state pro-
vides for. 1t is as simple and solemn
as the usual marriage rites.''-From

Sweet Auburn, loveliest village of

cheered the neighboring swain, but

deserted. The President has gone
Congress has gone, the embassies have

the government clerks who are under

Washington, in such circumstances,

the temple of Baal. Washington is
worse than widowed. 1t is orphaned.

Farmers Heard From
[From the Providence Journal.

[From the Providence Journal]
Among the communications pouring
into the White House relating to the
railroad mediation, or arbitration, or
intervention, or whatever II Is. one
from the president of the Texas Farm
ers' Union is particularly calculated to
give the President at Utopia something
to ponder on.
1t is pointed out that Texas farmers
work from twelve to fourteen hours a
day, and the average compensation does
not exceed 50. Moreover, a quarter OF
a million women are working as farm
hands from sun to sun at fifty cents d
day."
Now, as the communication proceeds
to set forth. the Farmers Union of
Texas heartily approves of short hours
and big pay But, 1t is submitted. why
should farmers be taxed to provide this
agreeable economic combination for d
selected labor class-namely, the mem-
bers of the four railroad brotherhoods 2
What the brotherhoods would gain by
Mr.. Wilson's benevolent plan of adjust
ment would. of course. have to be paid
for by shippers and consumers.
Hence and accordingly. the President
of Utopia Is reminded rather bluntly.
that the farming interests should be
directly represented in the contro-
versy, before the Government commits
itself"
