THE AMERICAN PWE5S ASSOCIATION
What Do They Coll "Justice?”
We wonder how much longer the
people of the United States are go-
ing to continue to allow themselves
to be held up by the railrosds of the
nation Is there no such a thing as
an end or the beginning of an end
to the extent to which the people are
to be hi-jacked by the overbearing
and plutocratic railroad barons of to-
day? Do we have to continue giving
everything to them? Have they no
conscience and have the men at the
head of the state and national gov-
ernment no sense of justice?
Twice has the treasury of the
United States rushed to the rescue
of the financially embarrassed roads
and at least three times have they
been permitted to raise their rates
The people have had to stand for it
all What kind of justice is it that
prompts a aet of men to demand an
Increase of 35 per cent in freight
rates and a reduction of 12 per cent
in the wages of the employees? Are
the people who live and believe in
justice going to stand for any such
infernal skulduggery as that? Are
the men who control the transporta-
tion lines of this country to be al-
lowed to go on without end in their
looting of the peoples' finances and
their intelligence?
Every fair minded person in the
country should stand aolidy behind
the employees in their strike for a
square deal That is all they are ask-
ing for '
If this be considered socialistic
preachment so be it and our wish
is that about eighty five million oth-
er citizens of our country become
imbued with the same belief and
make the same demands I
We have gone for ao long without j
a protest that amounts to as much
as a hill of beans whenever we are j
sandbagged by the railroads that we j
have become calloused and seem to
have lost all idea of ever entering a j
protest - I
After all it seems queer thst the
men who own the railroads have con-
tinued in the business for so many
years losing money each deay yet
want to continue to hang onto a los-
ing proposition What is the explan-
ation? If the people refuse to back the
strikers in this move which begins
the last day of this month they de-
serve every thing in the way of high
rates that the roads can possibly
hang on them

POINTED PARAGRAPHS
By Rev Walter Douglass
Some days ago a certain club in
this city stibacribd for a journal in
anticipation of the uplifting of the
intellectual standard of its members
The motive wss ideal the journal all
that could have been expected and
the ladies of the club anxious-fol
the uplifting ’ - ' —
Everything went well until rome
one of the members came to the
word “bureau” It seems that no
one from president to janitor could
give any account of so strange a
term The meeting was closed in
disorder
The club may have appointed a
committee on “information” or some
such exploration with ’Instruction
not to return until light had been
turned on Things grew desperate
Distionaries were brought from their
hiding places and p(it on the wit-
ness stand Either Jhe books were
not clear or the lad its had so mud-
dled the subject as to make distinc-
tions impossible : '
It has been said that many sleep-
less nights were spenf knd thst mem-
bers of said club eduld be heard
screaming for hel ' even in their
slumbers It was attful
Dictionaries were' Searched school
men consulted encylopaediss perus-
ed and wise men sought to no avail
In fact that club had gone into water
far too deep for thq capacity of its
individual members There’s no sense
in the fact of ordinary womanhood
trying to delve intp J such intricate
problems and “bureau”
But having plungbd into a bureau
too intricate complex and obscure
for any sort of dull capacity there
remained nothing bpt some son of
an extrication Hiving reached a
crisis hove into a dilemma and stuck
fast in the meshes ef a bureau the
only thing 'eft was Jo cry for assist-
ance Ihe atrvge part of o? the entire
mTair was the fact it ’ho’: club hav-
ing consulted evern other source of
information it 1 are f eeki i the one
illumination Pointed Paragraphs
But since they did at last come noth-
ing remained but to turn on the light
The word “bureau" is an elusive
having traveled on through many
generations vicissitudes and orthog-
raphies as it has cme down to the
present Having come so far and
through and by surh varied experi-
ences it has completely lost its ety-
mology as a schoolboy loses a shoe-
string when foraging ripe water tivl-
lons Another sad thin about this word
is the fact of tya definitions and
ideas having become so scattered
Having been so usd and abused by
different communities and nations
the original thought1 connected with
it would never recognize the brood
of collateral ideas Which cling to its
skirts and call it mother This word
“bureau” has certainly had a time of
it
A Frenchman edined the wprd and
applied to a writing dek contain-
ing all appurtances thereto The En-
glish added to that definition the
fact of the writer America tied it
to a thing to put clothes in finally
adding a mirror Then the govern-
ment got it
When the government took charge
of this word they immediately at-
tached it not only to the writing
desk as did the French but to the
writers the office and an entire or-
ganization of toilers and propagand-
ists Aa a final thrus the responsibility
for which on on would ever dare
to seek the word (‘bureau” has be-
come idiomatic in governmental par-
lance It ia now 'osed to designate
a subdivision of gne of the depart-
ments of governmental service
Thus it is that a French aristocra-
cy has descended yinto a cold calcu-
lating subdivision of the American
machinery known as Federal Au-
thority From wrjting desk down to
the gradations off clothes press and
political organization it has fallen
until it has at laaL' become -an idiom
designating a auWivision'--ThiriV of

Baseball Superstition

Some one happened to men-

away that for a whole team to
watch the little birdie at once
was a Jinx
Whereupon the Plttsburghera
went out and Inst five straight
games to the Giants Right In
the midst of a crucial pennant

It doesn't prove the Jinx
exists But It does prove that
to Imbue a man or a team of

can't win a ball game generally
means that they won't win For
their pep and enthusiasm have
been stolen
