ARKANSAS CITY CKas.), Sept. 1S.-Dis-
appointed boomers are returning by the
hundreds. There were at least ten men
to every claim on the strip. AS a conse-
quence, there will be contests without
number, and there are reports of several
murders committed on account of them.
Death by prairie fires are reported to be
numerous. The strip was again visited
by hot winds to-day. The wind reached
velocity OF thirty-siX miles an hour. 1t
was laden with intense heat and sand, and
made life a burden. 1t caused a rapid
spread of prairie fires, and reports of loss
of life in the flames are expected to be
numerous. Nearly every townsite IN the
strip has rival. Enid, one of the Off
clal county seats on the Rock Island road
has rival with the same name two miles
south Of it. The Government refused to
locate the site at the Rock Island station,
because the Indian allotment was taken
adjoining it. Now the Rock Island re-
fuses to stop trains at the Government
site, and is doing all it can to aid the
rival town. The Government town Of
Perry is also being ignored by the Santa
Fe.

ANTI-RAILROAD LEGISLATION.

With the exception of two small
branches of the Union Pacific railroad,
every railroad in Kansas shows deficit
on the operations of the past year.
In the state of Texas there is no rail-
road earning dividend on the stock. and
in many instances the roads are not earn
ing interest on their bonds. This is the
result of anti-raIroad legislation in Kan
sas and Texas By which railroad rates
have been forced down below the point at
which the railroad corporations are able
to make q living profit on the capital actu-
ally invested in these enterprises The
railroad commissions in both states have
been given arbitrary power to regulate
freight rates, and they have used their
power to cater TO socialism and paternal-
ism rather than 10 protect the
Eastern investors whose money built
these railroads for these states of
Kansas and Texas who now pro-
pose 70 practically confscate the
investment Of those who furnished the
money. The gross injustice OF the
"granger" railroad legislation is conc'u-
slvely shown by the decision of Judge Nc.
Cormick. of the United States court. in
the district of Texas. who sustained the
Texas Pacific railroad in lis appeal from
the rulings OF the Texas railroad commits
sion on the ground that freight rates had
been forced down below the point At winch
railroads could make any fair return on
the capital invested: in other words, that
the railroad commission Of that state had
arbitrarily couascated the property of in
vestors in the interest Of the public, without
rendering fair equivalent. The courts OF
Minnesota several years ago made the same
ruling in favor Of the railroads and against
the anti-rallroad legislation of the state.
aud the United States supreme court will
certainly sustain Judge McCormjck's de-
cision The Eastern investors, were IL
not for the United States courts. would he
compelled 10 abandon their enterprises
which have been practically coniiscatei
by the states without any return to the
owners.

puious and tyrannicsl rohber o. capital.
This kind Of anti-raiiroad legislation VAS

has been tried in Iowa with the result
that Iowa during the last ten years did
not keep pace with Massachusetts, IN

Mob leader Parkerson, of New Orleans,
was responsible for the cowardly murder
of the italian prisoners in the New Or
leans Jail who were accused of the assas-
sination of Chief of Police Hennessy. He
robbed these men of the protection which
the law entitled them to until the ques-
ton of their guilt should be judicially de-
termined, and insisted upon judging them
himself and executing the vengeance he
pronounced them TO deserve. Since this
iynching Parkerson's house has been fired
twice, the last time only few days ago,
when only good fortune saved him and
his family from being burned in their beds.
Parkerson is probably correct in his sus-
picion that the friends of the lynched
Italians are the incendiaries, but he cam
not complain, for these firebugs are only
following Parkerson's example and have
the same excuse that Parkerson and his
mob had. Parkerson was not content
with the action of the courts, so he ap-
pealed TO mob law. and the Italians are
not satisfied with the action OF the grand
jury refusing to indict the leaders of the
mob, so they appeal to mob law. The
only difference is that Parkerson's mob
was SO strong that he did his work openly
in daylight while the Italian mob is weak
and does its mob work secretly in the
hours of darkness. They who take the
sword must perish by the sword, and they
who resort to mob law must expect to
have mob law invoked against them at
the first opportunity.
