believe success in life is within the reach
OF all who set before them an aim and
an ambition that is not beyond the tai

upon them. We should all begin life
with determination to do we'll what
ever we take in hand, and if that deter.
mination be adhered to, with the pluck
for which Englishmen are renowned,
success according to the nature and
quality Of our brain power, is, l think, q
certainty. Had I begun life as a tinker,
my earnest endeavor would have been
to have made better pots and pans than
my neighbors. and l think I may ven-
ture to say without any vanity that with
Gods blessing should have been fairly.

that leads to success is the firm deter.
mination to succeed; the next is the
possession. Of that moral and physical

Attempted Train Robbery.

The eastward bound express Oh the
Sante Fe road was boarded at Coolidge,
a small station few miles east OF the
Colorado line, at three o'clock, Saturday
morning last, by three masked robbers.
Two of them jumped into the engine
cab and without prOvOcatiOn shot En-
gineer Hilton through the heart and
badly wounded fireman Fade. The
nerve of express messenger Peterson,
who drove the third rObber from his
car saved the train from being robbed.
After the killing of the engineer, the
wOunding of the firt man and the repulse
of the third outlaw, the masked robbers
retreated. Hot pursuit was made and
two men are lying in the Dodge City
jail on suspicion of being the men want
ed. 1t is the custom of certain IRE
spOnsible republican journals to charge
the responsibility of crimes committed
in democratic communities upon the
democratic party. The journals which
have howled about ''poor old Missouri
and the acquittal of Frank James,
should now say that this disgrace at
Coolidge was visited upon the State be-
cause Kansas has democratic govern
or! Articles of such a nature would be
beautifully consistent and might do
some good. Frank James, turned loose
only because he was tried in a demo-
cratic state, should be called upon to
prove an abb, and it should be stated
that the murderers and would-be-robbers
are democrats!
Out upon such nonsense. Sensible
men know that crime exists apart from
party, and it would be an exhibition of
dense ignorance on our part to say that
the republicans of the State are respon-
sible for the Coolidge outrage. We are
glad to state that a reward of $500. has
been offered for the capture of the vii
lains, and that everything will be done
that can be done to bring them to JUS
tice.
For fuller particulars of the outrage,

Massachusetts Democracy.

At the recent Democratic State Con-
vention, Gen. Benz. Butler was re-nom-
mated for Governor by reclamation.
Gen. Buffers administration has been
popular and effective, and his reelection
is certain. He has unearthed undreamed
of abuses, and set in motion long
needed reforms. And what he has
done for the "old Bay State the dem
ocratic party will do for the country.
Many TewksburyS have grown up with
in the past twenty years, and the peo-
pie are crying, ''Out, damned spots"
The platform adopted deals mainly
with state affairs, but there is a clear indi-
cation that Massachusetts, will fall into
line with the democracy of the whole
country. The platform declares for a
tariff for REVENGE only, and against all
sumptuary legislation.

Important Decision by the Railroad
Commissioners.

The Board of Railroad Commission
ers has delivered its decision in the Be
lott case, where it was charged that the
freight rates to and from BelOit on the
Missouri and Pacific were unjust and
unreasonable. 1t was not charged that
the railroad company Disseminated
against Beloit, but that the rates were
too high. And upon investigation, the
Commissioners found that the complaint
was well grounded. AS a result the de-
cisiOn orders reduction on all classes
of freight, the reduction averaging 70
per cent.
This decision affects Beloit in a direct
manner. but the whole state will derive
benefit from it. The Board finds that
the Missouri Pacific rates complained
of are no higher than the Union Pacific
charges, and to conform to the law the
Union Pacific rates must be adjusted SO
as to meet the Missouri rates as lowered
by the Commissioners. If this is not
done, any town along the line OF the
Union Pacific may make complaint 10
the Commissioners, when decision,
similar to the one in the BelOlt case,
will be given out.
1t now seems that the Board OF Com
misSiOnerS is not a failure. Lower
freight rates must follow the Belolt de-
cisiOn. and the Commissioners are found
on the side of the people to the extent,
at least, of a twenty per cent. reduction
of existing freight rates.
If the Union Pacific freight charges
are not lowered, the Commissioners Will
not be blamable. In the judgment OF
the Board, the changes in the rate at
Beloit will necessarily require cores
ponding tariff changes along the line OF
the Union Pacific in Kansas. 1t the
railroad company does not voluntarily
meet the decision of the Board, the
people have it in their power to compel
it to adopt the reduced rates.
For table of rates, before and after
the decision, see our inside news page.

Unmistakable Evidence,

The political tidal Wave'' which
swept over this country last year was
unmistakable evidence that large sec
ton of the republican party was oppOs-
ed to political spectators and such spec
ulations as have of late years brought
upon it such disgrace and humiliation.
Nor is there any evidence that the
hundreds of thousands of honest re-
publican voters who think principle
worth contending for, will consent TO
be whipt into traces by party bosses.
The republican party, so far as it's
members of the rank and file are con-
cerned, are just as loyal to their country,
lust as honest and just as good citizens
as they were twenty years ago, but to
expect that the large number of indie
pendent voters who repudiated the
''boss'' rule and corrupt practices Of the
leaders of the republican party last fall
will return to the camp so long as the
present party leaders and policy are re-
tanned, is not good Judgment nor good
sense. The republican leaders must
offer this intelligent and independent
wing of the party something more than
promises to again secure its aid and in
fiuence; they must stop this unseemly
haste to get their hands into the public
treasury; they must break their close
connection with rings, mOnopolies and
rich corporations; they must depart from
their stand as unjust protectionistS;
they must clear themselves of all con-
nection with jobs, steals, class legisla-
ton and this interminable scramble
for office and official pap. They must
do this before they can rally their party,
and to practically accomplish what is
demanded of them will require time.
And it is not absolutely certain that
these independent republican voters
will seek shelter in the democratic
camp during the time of the probation
<pftheir own party leaders. The DEM
oez2tic party must enunciate the fair.
open policy to which it is inclined by
inhesitspce and its own professions.
The democratic party must continue as
st has commenced, strongly and unalter-
ably opposed 80 the present corrupt state
of politics Itbas a glorious future before
it as the party of the people, and its
consistent championship of honest gov
eminent, honest labor and human rights
viii lead it to victOry-and victory well
deserved.

Eighth Judicial Convention.

The non-partisan convention which
met at Junction City last week to NOM
mate a successor to Judge Austin en-
iovs the distinction of having cast 5S2
ballots. The contest was long, good
natured, deliberate and determined.
Dickinson county cast her nine votes
for John II. Mahan 5S1 times; Ottawa
county threw her six votes on every bal
lot to r. F. Thompson; Morris county
was faithful to NJ. B. Nicholson, and
Davis county cOquetted in a careless
manner with her five votes. On the
5S2nd ballot Dickinson and Morris cOun-
ties united on NJ. B. Nicholson, and the
vote stood as follows:
