TO AVERT STRIKES
ARBITRATORS IN ENGINEERS'
DISPUTE ASK LAWS TO SAFE
GUARD PUBLIC.
30,000 GAIN PARTIAL VICTORY
General Increase on All the. Roads
1 Held. Not Warranted Morrlssey
IntfmatrFlaht W3c RV,
newed on May 1- Next.
Washington. Thirty thousand loco
motive onglnecrs on ilfty-two Fatorn
ratlwns gain a partial victory in their
demand' for more wages under the
award announced by tho board of ar
bitration In Its decision, however, the loard
holds that tho public, which had no
voice In the controversy and no choice
but to nbldo by tho decis'on, had moro
at stale than either engineers or rail
roads, and tho report emphasizes the
necessity of plans to safeguard tho
public against the possibility of a fu
ture strike, whose coiiFequencf.s It de
picts 'in somber vein.
"It would bo difficult to exaggerate
tho seriousness of such a e.i'nmPy,"
reads tho report. "It Is safe 'o say
that the large cities of tho lZnK' VOu!d
find tho supply of many articles of
food exhausted within n week. Of so
important a commodity as milk, they
would have no moro than a day's sup
ply. If a strike of the character last
ed only a single week, th suffering
would bo beyond our power of descrip
tion. Tho Interests of tho public so
far exceed those of the parties to a
controversy as to render tho former
paramount. To this paramount Inter
est both the railroad operators and
the employes should submit."
To plnco such a strike beyond tl.o
roalms of probability, the board advo
cates the creation of federal and state
wage comm'ssions. These commls
sions, the hoard suggests, should bo
vested with piratically tho same pow
ors over organized labor aa public
utilities commissions now cxercisu
over quasi rubllc corporations.
"It Is the belief of the board," con
tlnues the decision, "that in the last
analysis tho on'.y solutlou Is to quality
tho principle of free coi.tract in the
railroad service."
From this suggestion, P. II. Morrls
sey, tho representative of the engi
neers on tho board, dWsonts.
While the award Increases wages
on somo railroads and for some class
es of service, It holds that a general
Increaso on all roads is not warranted.
Tho uwnrd dates back to May 1 last,
and will hold for one year from that
date.
Morrlssey representing tho engineers
already has Indicated doubt as to its
renewal. In tho past, with soveral
notable exceptions, tha contracts be

OLD MAID FOR WISDOM
BEST ADVICE OF ALL DESCRIP
TIONS HERS TO GIVE.
Especially About Matrimony, Says
One, Is the Married Woman Apt to
Be Actuated by Her Own
Experiences.
"I don't know what to think," said
tho college graduate
"It's tho first admission of tho kind
nlnco you gbtryour dlplomn," said
tho old moldi5?
"What to think nbout what?" ask
fd tho, matron Jmt turned thirty. Her
nfontfiiJrttVa jIotw cf tho corners,
nnd there wns a wrongs-for-womon
look In her ryo.
"About marrying. Davo Is begin
ning to Insist on marrying Just as
1 (am beginning to soo thnt I havo
somo futuro nhcad It I work llfo out
by myself."
"Don't hesitate a minute," said tho
matron just turned thirty, nnd
brought her tooth together with a no
ticeable click. "What can you do
better than anything clso?"
"I nm Interested, you know, In ce
lestial mechnnlcs."
"Then go In for It. Go In for any
thing that has that word celestial In
It. It sounds promising. It may lead
you Into heaven. Marrying won't.
Thero's no uso to pretend that it
will."
The tolcphono bell rang then, and
while tho matron Just turned thirty
answered It, tho other two regarded
each other with looks that said that
they wero astonished nt her and com
mlserntlvo of her. Then her volco
nt tho telephono enmo on to them In
languid cadences: "Why, yes, I sup
pose T can go. Oh, yes, I suppose I
want to. Really? You surprlso mo.
From tho way you rushed off this
morning I should hardly havo thought
Yes, but what mado you forget?
You havo missed Yc-cs, I hnvc,
too. You old darling! All right,
then, hurry homo. I'll ho ready."
Sho camo back from tho telephono
to tho two who hnd listened In con
scienceless attention. "Jim and I
nro going to havo a ltttlo celebration
tonight," sho announced shamelessly.
"It's our anniversary." Sho wont out
of tho room then, red but radiant,
"If you really want any advice
nbout marrying," said tho old maid,
turning upon tho college graduate,
"you will havo to como to ub slnglo
women. You can't bellovo anything
tho mnrrlod ones tell you. Thoy aro
hero today and thcro tomorrow. Their
conclusions about matrimony rest
upon no suror bnso than whether or
not their husbands remembered to
kiss them goodby this morning. They
haven't any perspective. It takes
an old maid to bo tho president of
a congress of mothers, nnd it takes
ono to illumlnato tho subject of mat
rimony for tho young nnd unde
cided." "Turn on your Benrchllght, then.
Let's havo tho Illumination."
"Oh, all that It comes to Is that
each woman has to docldo for her

Strange, Indeedl
Bishop Rowo, now of South Dakota,
was upon a certain occasion obliged
to start out afoot to reach a church In
an eastern stnte. Tho August day
was closo and hot and tho road was
dusty, bo that after half an hour's po
desttinnlsm tho reverend gentleman
wns well pleased when a man drow
nlong In a spring wagon and offored
n lift. His reverence woro no clerical
gnrb and tho state of his apparel after
tho tramping gave small Indication of
his calling.
Tho tenm Jogged Into a deep wood.
Tho churchmnn deemed tho tlmo and
tho place Ut for tho broaching of spir
itual things. Accordingly ho opened
tho subject rather abruptly, ho con
fesses. "Young man," ho demanded solemn
ly, "nro you prepared to dlo?"
"Do you know," tho bishop Inno
cently explained afterward, "tho fol
low gave n whoop, dropped tho reins,
jumped off tho sent, and, beforo I
could sny n word, ho had gone crash
ing through tho woods! Now, why
do you suppose ho did that?"
' is Letter Writing Lost Art?

WITH COMPETITION ABSORBED
EXACT, EVEN JUSTICE
WHAT THE COUNTRY LOOKS FOR
FROM THE DEMOCRATS.
Work of Reforming Trusts Must Be
Impartially Done and No Spirit of
Persecution Allowed to Mar
the Needed Changes.
When congress meets lu extra ses
slon, with Democrats in control of
both houses, there will bo strong
tomptatlon to "get oven" with a group
of trusts that havo looted consumers
for many years and turned a part of
their plunder over to tho Republican
party ns campaign contributions.
Tho temptation Is natural nnd hu
man; but It must bo resisted. Even
trusts must havo justice from u Dem
ocratic administration. Not moro than

Yet oven tho sugar trust must havo
justice; oven, exact Justice. Changes
In tho sugar tariff i'.ist bo made for
tho advantage of tho American peo

Tho sugar trust must not bo perse'

by Mr. Roosevelt.
What Is true of tho sugar trust Is
true of tho Perkins harvester trust, of
tho Bteel trust. Thoy must bo pun

cold, impartial justice and thoro is
nothing on earth of which thoy nro

Party Will Not Be Hasty.
For tho prcbont tho best thing the
president-elect can do Is to give busi
ness posltlvo assurance that executive
action on his part will not bo busty
nor Impulsive In tho prosecuting of
tho radical reforms ho has promised.
However much admiration there may

urally is going to put a timid foot for

Business Has No Fears,
Nothing could better Illustrate tho
desperate straits to which opponents
of triumphant Domocracy wero driven
than tho eleventh-hour panic cry that
ruin would como lu tho trail of Domo

TWO MEASURES IN DEMAND
Provision for Income Tax and Direct
Election of Senators a Duty Laid
on Democratic Party.
Democratic triumph should mean
tho prompt success of two popular
measures tho Income-tnx amendment
nnd tho direct election of United
States senators by voters.
Victory for tho Income tax Is almost
won. Tho votes of only two moro
states nro 'needed for ratification. This
Is not a partlsnn political measure
Within four years It has been ndvo
cr.ted In both party platforms In Mas
sachusetts, Rhodo Island and Maine:
In Indiana, Kansas, Wisconsin nnd
Michlgnn; In Utah, Colorado and Cal
ifornia. Both Democratic and Republican
this amoudmcnt Is, therefore; yet wo
count Democrats Its safest frionds.
For tho Republicans In Massachusetts,
Utah nnd Rhode Islnnd w;nt back on
their Btnto platform pledges to boat
tho nmondmont, and In Maluo and
elsowhero thoy tried It with less suc
cess. This moasuro should bo ratified
beforo March 4. If In tho coming re
vision of tho tariff thoro should bo
somo sacrifice of revenue It should bo
no longer possible to raise In defense
of robbory tho old plea that It is tho
only way to keep tho government run
ning. Tho nmondmont providing for tho
direct election of senators is but be
ginning Its scrutiny by tho states.
Two of them only havo passed it. It
also should bo promptly ratified, that
wo may havo no moro of Senator
Wool, Sonator Cotton, Senator Glass,
Senator Steel, Senator Coal, Sonator
Copper, Senntor Railroad and Senator
Rnnb
These two measures are of tho sort
which will prove that tho truest pro
gresslvism Is Truo Domocracy.
Enforce Anti-Trust Law.
Governor Wilson's prescription of
Imprisonment for tho bends of trusts
Is not vindictive or cruel, or oven ex
cessive. Tho anti-trust law wns en
acted twenty-two years ago; It has
been onforced ovor nnd over again.
By this tlmo all the trust magnates
must understand whnt tho settled pol
icy of tho country Is with regard to
all these industrial aggregations that
aro suppressing competition Just so
far as they aro able to. Now It Is time
they took notice of this and made
their business methods conform to tho
dellbernto and matured opinion of the
country.
Wilson a Free Man.
Wilson will go Into tho White Houso
untrnmmoled by promises. Not only
is It understood thnt he has mado no
promises to tho politicians, but It Is
admitted genorally that ho has mado
no promises to tho Amorlcan peoplo.
Ho will go Into olllcn a freo man, pos
sessing a keen Intellect, nn undoubt
ed sense of duty nr.d responsibility,
nnd wVh a remnrkablo indorsement
from tho American peoplo.
No Mortgage to Mammon.
Governor Wilson has succeeded
without tho uso of any bonanza cam
paign fund. It Is n glorious fact about
his election that his administration Is
not mortgaged to tho predatory rich.
It will not bo necessnry for him to
net ungratefully to anybody, because
he owcb no debts excopt to tho whole
people.
Tariff Imposition.
The tariff, nccordlng to Senator
O'Gormnn, Imposes a tnx of $115 n
year on each family. So now you
know whnt becomes of tho monoy you
expected to have for your vacation
fund.
Not Frightened by Democracy,
it is worth notice that, according tp
