IF THE only thing that can queer the iron and steel trade is the establishment of unreasonable prices by the manufacturers, as Mr. Gary suggests, It is a foregone conclusion that the business is done for. IT IS very interesting to note the difference in the point of view. The man whose business is not located along the lake, speaks harshly of him who would "fill in the lake." The man who needs dockage calls It "restoring submerged lands." WITH THE EDITORS. Confuse Niagra and Calumet. Officers of the sanitary district have pone to Washington to ask the war de partment for a permit to build two Kimnlemental canals. The Evanston one is needed for the sanitary protec tirm nf the residents in the extreme northern part of the city. The re versal of the flow of the Calumet is essential to the health of the inhabitants of the southern part of the city. A year ago it was taken for granted that there would be no opposition to th Calumet project. The rock of the drainage channel was made on a gen erous scale, so that the intended Calu mot division misrht be provided for But some Americans and Canadians, members of an international waterways commission, have pronounced against the Panlmet project. They say that the navigation of the great lakes will Buffer if Chicago will use more than 10,000 cubic- feet of water a second for sanitary purposes, and as the Chicago river can take care of that amount of water, no water from the Calumet should be allowed to enter tho drainage channel. If they had the last voice in the matter the sewage which drains ntr th Calumet would continue to flow into the lake and pollute its wa ters until some method of taking care of the sewage other than the one which has been contemplated for nearly twen ty jars should be devised and carried out. There are many senators who will not consent to tho impounding of the waters of Lake Michigan to the sore ininrv of a cltv which must draw on them to dispose of its sewage and pre serve the purity of its water supply The great danger is that the war department, unduly influenced by the re port of the commission, may attempt to limit the flow through the drainage channel to 10,000 cubic feet a secom and refuse to authorize tho contem rlated Calumet river work. An appea could be taken to congress from an unjust decision, but there should be no occasion for an appeal. The secretary of war has heard from the waterways commission about hypothetical dangers to take advantageeta thetlc dangers to lake navigation if the flow through the drainage channel is not limited. The representatives of the sanitary district will tell him of the irreparable injury to this city and its Inhabitants if the flow were to be lim Ited. It is not possible that after hear lng all the facts and becoming aware of the leal issue in this controversy he will decide against Chicago Chicago Tribune. Hours cf Trainmen. The United States senate has passed the bill which limits the working hours of railroad men to sixteen hours for ne day, which period must be followed by ten hours off duty. There is little doubt but that the overworking of employes has been responsible for a large number of the wrecks that have taken place during the last few years. But the public was not prepared for the figures which Senator La Follette presented during his argument in favor of the measure. He charged, and gave figures and dates to prove his assertion, that twenty of the twentyone wrecks between tho adjournment of congress last summer nnd Sept 6 xere due to the excessive hours forced on the men. The engineer who was lesponsible for the recent K. & O. wreck had worked from 9 o'clock Friday morning until 6:30 Sunday evening with but two four-hour rests. Little wonder that there is a controversy as to whether the proper signal was displayed. The railroads are prosperous very prosperous. They are doing so well that the holders of Etocks and bonds are active with man ipulation. Thl3 activity Is possible for the roason that the dividends show up all right. A more liberal policy con cerning1 the employes might interfere with dividends and stoc stock juggling.

The railroads hold a peculiar position

n regard to the people the railroads re more more than private corpora tions. Consequently It senis altogelhr right and just that the people should ave something to say concerning the mana;f ement. If the overworking of nen can be stopped the accidents hould be decreased and loss of life essened. The senate has acted in acord with public sentiment; It is hopd that the house may lose no time in passing the measure. Lafayette Jour nal.

"It 13 a large place and has three entrances, the main one be ing on the street having the largest ransit, the principal side door further own the street and the other on the avenue.

He then walked down the street until he came to the other side entrance and entered. This time he walked up as erect as he could and, dropping a coin on the bar, asked for a drink This time the bartender went wild Didn't I tell you I would not sell you a drink? Get out of here double quick or I'll kick you out.' "The intoxicated man looked at the bartender for a few seconds and finally broke out with: " 'Well, for heaven s sake, do you work in every saloon irt the darn town?" " THEATRICAL NOTES. The Time, the Place and the Girl a comedy with music, will be presented at the Towle opera house on Sunday, Jan. 20 by the Askln-Singer company, with an excellent company, including among other players of reputation, Arthur Deagon, Miss Ida Emerson, Miss Lucia Moore and Miss Violet McMillen. Thls is the musical play which has run for six months in Chicago and is still the particular favorite of the theater goers of that town, which has had un til now a monopoly on its attractions ever since it was prouueeu. it. was written by Will R. Hough and Frank R. Adams, with the musical assistance of Joseph Howard, the long distance song hit champion of the world. The plot is to the effect that Happy Johnny Hicks, a square young gam bler, has been spending a night in Boston with his pals, Laurie Farnham and Tom Cunningham, two rich men's sons. In a fight with some card sharks Cunningham hits a man over the head with a wine bottle, and fearing the consequences the trio make their es cape before the police arrive. Hoping to find a hiding place and also to take a needed rest, they find their way to a sanitarium in the Virginia mountains. Cunningham meets his sweetheart there, and Hicks falls in love with the pretty head nurse, Molly Kelly, who proves to be the sister of the man iniured by Cunningham in the esca pade in Boston. This interesting situation is en

hanced by the fact that the sanitarium In Washington. "Negroes are not ali placed under quarantine, and as the lowed to drink at all the bars In

servants are all absent, the guests have to servo themselves. In the course or the piay nicks shoulders Cunningham s guilt, and thus puts himself "in wrong,' as he expresses it. with the nurse. The singing and dancing numbers manifest the genius of Ned Wayburn ror sucn tr.ings, ana tnere is not a chorus feature in the show that is not ,new and original, me company is large and the production is an unusu ally artistic one. Bees Died from Overwork. The beeman, as he gently removed a tawny cluster of bees from his beard said: "Above all things, never set a beehive near an arc light. If you do, your bees will die of overwork within a week. , "An arc light emitting a powerful illumination was put up last spring near my beehives. The night It was put up the bees, mistaking its light for daylight, worked like beavers, though dead tired. .'"IT'l j. . , . , . . lucu luc ua"" taul a-na tne "gnt aa uusuiaucu luc ueeb, quite worn mr,A In- K 1 J t , --- -- - v. xiiiuuies ma &uu was burning, ana out the poor, bedraggled little creatures hur-
