tor of a l)e(;-|)ftper should hold the i)()Kllion of 

 (iencnil Miinii>,'iT. We are still of thnt opin- 

 ion. And yet we reftll/.e that we have a duly 

 to perform to our friends as well as to the 

 cause we represent and are so deeply inter- 

 ested in. We lire liero to servo wherever best 

 we can ; and, as Mr. Hoot siij^^jests, were the 

 support on llie part of the niember.ship prac- 

 tically untiidinous for us as (ieneral Ma!ni].;er, 

 we would in duty bound feel that we should 

 reconsider, anil woric where the iinijority 

 wanted us to be. That would simply be in 

 the line of duty, as wo see il. 



Whether or not a bee-pai)ur editor be (ien- 

 eral Manager of the National Bee-Keepers' 

 Association is not a matter of ri;iht or wroni;. 

 If it were, and we felt that it would be a 

 wrong thing for us or any other editor to 

 hold the position, we would oppose it as 

 strongly as we could, no matter how hot or 

 how cool the weather. 



Personally, we would not do a single thing 

 to win the position. It is no easy job. It is 

 of no financial advantage to any one, as both 

 Mr. Newman and Mr. Secor can easily testify. 

 It means a lot of careful, conscientious worli, 

 but work that neeils to be done, and done 

 well, for the good of bee-keepers and the pur- 

 suit in which they are vitally interested. 



So, all we can say now is, that if elected to 

 the position of General Manager we would 

 simply endeavor to fultill its requirements to 

 the best of our ability. If not elected, there 

 will be nothing to regret on our part. We 

 would expect to continue to labor for the 

 good of bee-l<eepers and the Association just 

 the same as we have done heretofore, count- 

 ing it a privilege to have been permitted to 

 aid so worthy a band of the world's workers. 



Against Liquor and Tobacco. 



I'rohihitive'rules against the use of liquor 

 and tobacco have become now so nearly uni- 

 versal among railway and other large corpora- 

 tions that tlie recent action In this direction 

 taken by the Chicago & North-Western Com- 

 pany did not receive the attention it deserved. 

 It established far more rigid rules than ordi- 

 nary, inasmuch as the company not only for- 

 bids the use of intoxicants, but forbids its 

 men frequenting places where they are sold. 

 An employee who does either is liable to get a 

 curt note of dismissal from the general super- 

 intendent or the general manager. The opera- 

 tion of trains in this day of high speed and 

 congested traffic requires every ounce of brain 

 and nerve force an employee can bring into 

 action, and for this reason the management 

 of the North-Western does not purpose having 

 the brains of its passenger-men befogged with 

 whi.'^ky and tobacco. Regarding the new rule 

 prohibiting the use of tobacco an official of 

 the company said : 



" Cleanliness and neatness are important 

 factors in the railroading of to-day, and these 

 considerations alone are sufficient warrant for 

 a prohibition of the use of tobacco by em- 

 ployees when on duty. We desire that em- 

 ployees shall not make our property disgust- 

 ing to travelers by the use of tobacco, and 

 themselves steeped by tobacco-poison while 

 on duty. I believe, however, that the use of 

 tobacco by railroad men engaged in train 

 operations is fast decreasing, and the time 

 will come when a tobacco-user wdl be as un- 

 welcome in the transportation departments of 

 the railroads as a drunkard is now.'' 



Young men who are contracting the tobacco 

 habit in any form, or who take litiuor of any 

 kind as a beverage, or associate with those 

 who do, may as well give up all hope of en- 

 tering business life. They are not wanted. 

 The door of success is shut before they ap- 

 proach its threshhold. — Ram's Horn.
