TIIE RAILWAY MAIL CLERKS'
COMPLAINT
(Continued from Pago 5)
last messago to congress indorsed the
Gillott bill provided it could be
amended so that there would be no
promotions to the places of retiring
clerks, but that these places may be
filled by men of tho lower grades at
less salary and the difference used to
apply on tho annuity of the retiring
nlni'k who had not the time to make
such provision for himself. I have
never heard a single clerk express
himself in favor of tho Gillett .bill
and even tho older men who might
immediately retire are not in favor
of doing so at tho expense of. their
fellows.
Now Is the timo for every man
who has an ounce of business in the
land to get busy and demand a prop
er adjustment of these affairs. Do
not allow this splendid service to de
teriorate. Call upon or write your
congressman to look into tho matter
and oppose in every way possible
all unjust and narrow measures and
see that tho new laws which may
bo onacted are not the kind in which
the penny near the eye hides the
dollar in tho distance. Wo believe
tho whole department should be
taken out of politics, and should
never be the prize of any man whom
fortune may have favored with suc
cess in that direction. Let its head
be a man who has succeeded in large
business enterprises and pay him any
salary sufficient to secure his services
and let him hold his position as long
as Jie makes good, then and not till
then, will this wonderful department
of the government produce the bent
results. '
"RAILWAY MAIL CLERK."
WOULD THEY?
The election of United States sen
ators'by direct votof the people, in
stead of through bribed and bossed
legislatures, will be an important
issue from now on. If you have any
doubt about which side you will be
on ask yourself these questiops:
If senators were elected by "direct
vote of the people, would James
Smith, Jr., be the next senator from
now jersey r
Would Lodge be the next senator
from Massachusetts?
Would William Lorimer be the
present senator from Illinois?
' Would William F. Sheehan bo the
next senator from New York?
Would Oliver come back to-tho sen
ate from Pennsylvania in January?
When the senate is elected by the
people directly such scandals as the
Lorimer one -will cease. Colliers
Yvcuiwy,
And even though In the United
States tho railroads do not own the
express companies they should fco
made to handle the express business.
There is no more reason why sepa
rate companies should handle this
business in the. United states than
in Canada, and no more reason why
a railroad; should farm, out its pack
age traffic than this o th&t class of
bulkier traffic. Springfield (Mass.)
Republican.
GIVEN A JOLT
The express companies in Canada
are given a jolt by the dominion
railroad commission which they
seem to merit richly. Their charges
are declared to be extortionate and
should be reduced 10 per cent at
least all nrmmH Tiiaw

overcapitalized and act as leechea to
draw unduly from regular transpor
tation revenue. The situation there
is evidently quite like that in thiB
country, with the difference, how
ever, that in Canada the railroads
own the express companies while
here the express companies are larce
SS?wi,tlxe "J?011 comPanies.
But in both cases the two classes of
companies have a relationship which
makes a clear field for a game of
hide and seek when public inquiry
is afoot respecting the reasonable
ness of transportation rates. The
Canadian commission declares that
as the express companies are owned
?? yailroadf ther no occasion
lJh?T maintenance to do a part
of the business of the railroads. They
should, in other wrords, bo abolished.
Welcome Words to Women
jBSBBBBBb
UaBaaaMaBaaaBSSSSV
aW BSSSSSSr
Women who suffer with disorders peculiar to their
ecx should write to Dr. Pierce and receive free tho
advice of a physician of over 40 years' experience
a skilled and successful specialist in tho diseases
of women. Every letter of this sort has the most
careful consideration and is regarded as sacredly
confidential. Many sensitively modest women writs
fully to Dr. Picrco what they would shrink 'from '
telling to their local physician. The local physician
is pretty sure to say that he cannot do anything
without "an examination." Dr. Pierce holds that
these distasteful examinations arc ilenerallv need-
Ices, and that no woman, except in rare cases, should submit to them.
Dr. Pierco's treatment will euro you right m tho privacy of
yonr own home. His "Favorite Prcscription, has cured
hundreds of thousands, some of them tho worst of cases
It isths only medicine of its kind that is the product of .a regularly graduated
physician. The only one good enough that its makers dare to print its. every
ingredient on its outside wrapper. There's no secrecy. It will bear cxamins.-,
tion. No alcohol and no habit-forming drugs are found in it. Some unscrup
ulous medicine dealers may offer you a substitute. Don't take it. Don't triflo
with your health. Write to World's Dispensary Medical Association; D;r; R.
V. Pierce, President, Buffalo, N. Y take the advice received and be well.
