A NEEDED REFORM.

brakemen to cause the adoption of auto
matte couplers and brakes on all freight
cars throughout the country. 1t is said
that over 450 brakemen are killed, and
1000 severely injured every year by the
clumsy contrivances now in use. namely,
the Old link-and-pin coupler and the hand
brake. Some roads have adopted the
new cOuplers and brakes on certain of
heir trains, and the result has been to
demonstrate the practical superiority of

way of the speedy adoption of all i'm

lives of employees and travellers. The
mount to every other consideration, and
since the adoption of some one of the
many inventions that have been proven
effective and reliable would not increase
the cost to the transportation service of
the roads, beyond the comparatively
small cost of substituting the new for
the old apparatus, but on the other hand
would effect a considerable saving. in

of the trains crews and consequently the

these things it is strange that the man.

Salina mas more aud better schools than
any other city in the state. This is no
mere assertion Look at the list The
Kansas Wesleyan university. the St

school. What other city can produce such
an array Of educational institutions? Sa-
lima does not boast about her schools much
but she has them. -Salina Republican.
\ creditable showing for Salina, it
must be allowed. Nevertheless, we
might name a dozen or more institutions
of learning in this city, the smallest of
which surpasses the most pretentious in
our ambitious wouid-be rival, to say
nothing of the dozen city schools that
are unsurpassed by any and equaled by
few in the land. Yes, Salina Is a splen-
did town in a magnificent country, and
if it fails to develop into a splendid edu-
cational and commercial center it will
not be from lack of enterprise on the

JOHN A. MARTIN
DEAD.

The not unexpected yet startling news
was flashed over the state Yesterday
morning that Col. John A. Martin was
dead across the state which has felt the
influence of his entire hfe's devotion and
work. But yet in the prime of man
hood, having but turned his fiftieth
year. he had nevertheless been In public
life in Kansas for upwards of thirty
years. As editor, as soldier and as chief
executive his ambition, his pride, his
hope and guiding star were ever the
star which reached statehood only
through tribulation. His greatest wish
was to be governor Of Kansas. The
duties and cares of the office had scarce
been laid down when lie laid down
his life. The autumn leaf had not yet
for him appeared. He stood like a
sturdy parent tree unscathed, and his
fellows counted only on years of useful
ness from him, but the conquering enc
my of all earth life steps into his homo,
and the brave warrior who defied death
on Lookout mountain, surrenders. If
his adopted state has produced any man
of whom her sons may in the future feel
proud, surely John A. Martin is one of
them. If only in circumscli bed sense
was he a soldier, a writer and statesman
combined me was all of these in SO far
as the history of Kansas has gone. Few
are there, if indeed there is a man. in all
Kansas whose death will be more uni
versally regretted than is that of him
who SO patiently and so Loyalty for so
many years defended her good name.
