---—:- l
free employment office.
The venture of the men of Every
man’s Clubhouse in establishing a free
employment bureau is in every way
commendable. Perhaps in less degree
than in other towns of Alaska Valdez
suffers from too great a number of
jobless men anxious for work, yet ev
en here there aie at all times many
unemployed. In this vicinity tire
many mining companies and employ
ers of every kind of labor. Often
men are wanted on very short notice.
Householders frequently have odd
jobs for men. If tbe unemployed of
this community will register their
names vrith the Everyman’s Club
house Free Labor Bureau then
those in need of miners, loggers,
carpenters, fishermen, cooks, wood
choppers and general laborers can get
into immediate touch with the men
they want without trouble and free
of all cost. This institution will un
doubtedly be of great benefit to many
men.
FIGHTING JOE FOLK IN ACTION.
Joseph Wingate Folk, former gov
ernor of Missouri, and now counsel
for the Interstate Commerce Com
mission, is doing the country in gen
eral and the stockholders of the New
Haven system in particular a dis
tinct public service by his insistence
that Charles S. Mellen, George F.
Baker and William Rockefeller take
the witness stand in the investiga
tion and tell what they know about
the looting of one of the great rail
road systems of the country.
Attorney General McReynolds is
reported to have been in favor of
dropping further inquiry, but Mr.
Folk, with some of the spirit he show
ed when he sent a number of leading
politicians and high financiers to jail ;
in Missouri for corrupt, practices, has
demanded that the three men who
know the facts about this gigantic
looting be compelled to go on the
stand and submit to examination by
the federal officials.
The investigation has developed the
fact that $8,000,000 of the New Ha
ven’s money “disappeared” in' one
deal; that $30,000,000 were lost in
the Rhode Island trolley absorption;
that a broker named Billiard was al
lowed to make $3,000,000 by buying
stock from the company at one price
and turning it back at a higher, with
out using a dollar of actual money;
that $60,000,000 in dividends were
paid out in ten years without being
earned and that the money was bor
rowed in ways to make the public
believe it had geen earned; that vast
sums of money belonging to the
stockholders were used in the cor
ruption of Massachusetts, Rhode Is
land and Connecticut politics, and
, that the inside records of these trans
actions had been burned by Okleigh
Thorne and Billiard, who had acted
as agents in the dealings between the
railroad company and the banking
house of J. P. Morgan & Co.
Most of this testimony nas Deen
obtained from agents, dummies and
brokers acting for the principals. J.
1\ Morgan is dead, but George F.
Baker, Charles S. Mellen and Wil
liam Rockefeller are still alive. Mr.
Baker and Mr. Rockefeller are still
directors ip the road apd Mr. Mdllen
has declared that he is tired of be
ing made the scapegoat. Mr. Folk
wants the facts and refuses to be
satisfied with the testimony of hired
agents and dummies and office boys
parading as treasurers and directors
of gigantic corporations. He is de
termined to get the truth and from
responsible parties. He is to be com
mended for his course, as no other
recent financial orgy compares with
Mellen’s orgy, which broke New Ha
ven’s' back by trying to create a
senseless tnpp°P°^- These scandals
have done the cause of other and well
managed railroads a vast amount of
harm by' spousing:i aptagonisms and
suspicion^ and antagoriistlc measures.
Some definite and .dieting individuals
were responsible tor whit the New
Haven did. The Interstate Com
merce Commission can undertake no
better Inquiry thf n to ascertain who
they were, what they profited by it
and then suggest a punishment com
mensurate trith the offense.—Ex.

Consistory Was Postponed by Pope
Pius to Give American Cardi
nals Opportunity to Attend.
ROME, May 26.—The secret con
sistory was held yesterday at the
Vatican and the three American
princes of the church, Cardinal Gib
bons, Cardinal Farley and Cardinal
O'Connell were in attendance. The
consistory was to have been held
Easter week but Pope Pius postpon
ed it until yesterday because of the
inability of the three American car
dinals to attend at that time. The
postponement caused considerable
comment because of the large num
ber of vacancies in the Sacred Col
lege and the necessity for the imme
diate appointment of sixteen new car
dinals.
Pope Pius yesterday named thir
teen new cardinals, all from European
countries. It is expected that one
more. American will receive the red
hat at this time.

Sure Foundations.
The bones of your body are the
props of your existence. Distort the
framework of the human body and
you predispose that body to disease.
It may be the lungs, the heart, the
stomach, the liver or intestines that
show the impairment, but show it
will, in time, in some organ.
The practice of Osteopathy is skill
ed anatomical engineering—the re
placement of parts that become dis
placed; the removal of obstructions;
equalizing the circulation; the restor
ation of harmonious action to all
working parts; and the control of the
organs through the nervous system.
These mean bodily adjustment.
