MORE AND BETTER _EQUIPMENT B. & 0. HR. Co., Adds larger NumUr of Freight Engines and Passenger Loooeotives to their Equipment. The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad has just had delivered to it the last instalment of the large equipment order placed several months ago. including 240 Consolidation freight engines, of the heaviest type, 26 Alantic type passenger locomotives for fast Express service, 70 passenger coaches and 10,000 freight cars. With the arrival in Balti more on Saturday of the last Consolidation engine from the Richmond Locomotive Works the order was completed and all of the equipment is in use on sections of the road in most urgent need of it. One of the exactions President Williard made of the successful bidders at the time the contracts were awarded was immediate delivery, considering the magnitude of the order, it is believed a record was made in filling it. The Consolidation freight engines which are the heaviest type of locomotive in use on American railways excluding the Mallet Articulated Compounds, are being used on the Baltimore and Ohio lines in.the

DANGER FROM . PUBLIC CUP y Dr. Hanchett, president of the lowa state board of health, says: “The drinking cup is a grave memace to health. It is a disseminator of two terrible diseases which are spreading in spite of every effort that is being made -to suppress them. I refer to blood poison and 1 tuberculosis. On the trains especially is the drinking cup a menace. People suffering from the most loathesome diseases use them, to be followed by some healthy i«rson who is likely to become infected. Typhoid patients not entirely recovered drink from these cups and spread disease.” Everybody has heard that “there’s many a slip between cup and lip.’’ And everybody has understood for this long time now, that it was unfortunate that it was so—that this would be a much happier world if it were not true. But now it develops that it’s a blessing that there are so many such slips, and that there are few causes more worthy of support than one which involves an effort to make such slips more frequent than they are now. The cause is that of the auti-pub-lic drinking crusade. And, lest you may get an idea that this hasn’t much show, this list of crusade victories is in order: The public drinking cup ha i been barred from every school house, railroad and station in Wisconsin, Michigan, Kansas, Mississippi, Oklahoma, Massachusetts anc. lowa and from every school house in California. The public drinking cup has been barred from every public building in St. Louis, East St. Louis, Portland, Boise, Little Rock, Ithaca, Wheeling, Fargo, Rutland, Aberdeen, Washington; Georgetown, Pa., Marysville, Ind., Colorado Springs, Camden, S. C.; Elgin, Syracuse, Childress, Texas, and New Rochelle. Forty state boards of health agree that the public cup shcqld be abolished. The public drinking cup is a veritable poison cup. It has been shown conclusively that it is largely responsible for the spread of deadly diseases, not only diseases that are contagious but also diseases that are less readily communicable —tuberculosis and blood poison in particular. Many persons in perfect health are spreaders of disease germs. In Minnesota diphtheria germs were found in the mouths of 70 persons out of every 1000 examined. Germs of grip, pneumonia and tonsilitis linger in the bodies of patients long after they have recovered from attacks of these diseases. The substitute for the public cup is the pocket cup or the paper cup. The handiest means for supplying cups to passengers in trains is the peimy-in-the-slot cup vender, which suplies a sterilized paraffine-coated paper cup for a cent. In schools paper cups, individual glasses or metal cups of the telescope” type may be used. The latter, however are hard to keep clean. It’s high time the world at large were awake to the truth that there’s nothing to worry about in the fact that there’s many a slip ’twixt the cup and the lip—that the real thing to worry about is that there are so few.—Starke County Republican.

LEADERSHIP AND _ REFORM ‘ “Carthage must be destroyed!” cried Regulus before the Roman senate, forfeiting his life, as he knew by the declaration. “If any man haul down the American flag, shoot him on the spot!” said Secretary of War Dix, when our Civil War was impending. One need not wear glasses of great magnifying power to discern quite clearly the direct actuating motive of the socalled “progressive movement” in politics today. It is leadership. If afflicted with the White Plague until one lung has dissolved away while the quack doctor’s diagnosis of the disease is “influenza,” ’tis parallel with our present political ailment. This ailment, the blight of our civilization, is the rule of the bank syndicate of the old world and the new, domiciled in Wall street,, New York, the Money Power, that afflicts unto death our body politic and of which sad state not a word is said by the daily and monthly metropolitan press of America; for it owns with few exceptions the press. “There are fifty men in New York city who can in twenty-four hours,” says Senator Chauency M. Depew, “stop every wheel on all our railroads, close every door of all our manufactories, lock every switch on every telegraph line and shut down every coal and iron mine in the United States. They can do so because they control all the money this county produces.” These "fifty men” are behind all our unjust “protective legislation,” exorbitant railroad rates, and our failure to conserve the natural resources of our country,—bad enough, when presented on the stumn to cause popular alarm, but a bagatelle to what wily politicians keep adroitly hidden from view. Ah, a third term in the White House and political Leadership,—ambition of Caesar, Pompey and Crosesus—these are the fingerboard that points the way to a dictatorship at Washington and commission rule of the states and cities, the commissioners appointed by the man on horseback, Beware, O ye many, lest ye be fooled into choosing a dictator upholding the money power, and the money power upholding his tyranny —two boards standing on end leaning against and mutually supporting each other. Beware! ye confiding millions, beware! We shall pass under the yoke of an absolute dictatorship, or we must destroy the money power. The two old decrepit parties are in the pay and service of the enemy. This is plain to everybody. They are owned and financed by the fifty of Wall street, who are now reaching across the table to play their last trump card. Soon at their nod the wheels of all the railroads will stop, the doors of all the manufactories will close, the switches of every telegraph line will be locked and every coal and iron mine will shut down. Then what? The fifty will guddenly take ship and hurriedly sail for Halifax, as did the Tories of Boston when Washington planted his seige guns on Dorchester Heights. A labor party born in a day! a new democracy,—and Old Glory still afloat with not a star effased—flapping in the breeze at the same lofty height as on July 4th, 1776, when the “inalienable right of man” were first proclaimed. Yes, a party of labor is in sight, a progressive party in-

deed,—wage slavery abolished—the tyrant (slave driver) placed as pictured on the seal of the Old Don - inion. No third term for Teddy, i. e. life term. He was a good president as was Washington. But Washington was not ambitious for a throne. Is Roosevelt? Aye! Ayei All know this. Let no one disparage the patriotism of Cummins, Lafollette, at all. _Bi<t they are fighting valiantly a windmill. The axe must be laid at the root of the ties. The money power must be annihilated! Let the Cummin’s and LafoUettes fire, as did the minute men of Bunker’s Hill. “Aim at the waistbands of the enemy!” was the stentorian command of Putnam The new party, in which the office will seek the man and not the man the office, will have but one plank in its platform. What will that be? MAN ABOVE MONEY! No more; no less. But that is all-inclusive. It comprehends the good of ail party platforms. Henry George, Socialist, Populist, Progressive, and all others from the first, when in the cabin cf the Mayflower the single-calieu life germ, of our Republic fell into its matrix. To one “ism” alone are we at all attached. What is that? AMERICANISM! No foreign shibboleths; no red rags. When the common people of America come to be of one mind, which now is imminent, the big boys will no longer wrong the other children; for we are one family and must share alike, —all equal in stockholders of the table’s contents “all things common” as among friends —and we are friends, yea, brothers and sisters—gathered again we shall soon be, in the old-time family home circle—the unit of society — many children playing about the cabin door!— Lenord Drown. o Goshen Fair WinningsThat Lincoln Cory has something good in the poultry line is proven by the following premiums which were awarded to him at the Elkhart County Fair held at Goshen last week.

«• FOR LECTURE COURSE Ladies' Aid oF Methodist Episcopal Church Secures Exceelleßt Talent.’ The Ladles’ Aid Society of the M. E. Church have again taken up the Lecture Course for the coming winter. They have secufed their talent through the Entertainers League of Indianapolik. The course will consist of four numbers. ‘ The Colombia’s Concert Orchestra,” under the management of J. R.

Carters Original Carolinian Jubilee Singers is one of the eldest jubilee companies in existence. It was originally organized in 1882 and reorganized in 1891. Each member of the company is a splendid musician. They have a repertoire of over three hundred ‘sougs and give a program of unusual variety including solos, quartettes old plantation songs and negro melodies. The male quartette, in their more humorous line are a host that the audience will scarcely let return from the platform. The twin sisJers sing with a power and pathos that perfectly thrills and entrances their auditors. Walter Carter, the piano sol ist ranks as the “Colored Paderenski.” Hon. Thomas H. Kuhn is an orator and humorist and. he is a master of eloquence who knows how to a responsive chord in the human soul. His lectures are brilliant, witty, forceful and eloquent.
