Paul Lawrence Dunbar, the negro
poet, turned the tables on the editor of
well-known magazine in rather neat
manner recently. The editor had re-
quested Mr.. Dunbar to recite some OF
his verses and called in the members of
the working staff of the magazine to
listen. Mr.. Dunbar asked permission
to read first of all poem which he had
sent to the sclfsame editor year pre-
viously and which had been rejected.

PASS LAW IGNORED.
Stockmen Charge That Railroads Pay
No Attention to Legislative Acts.

The stockmen of Kansas are consid-
ering the advfSa bility of holding a con-
ference either in Topeka or Kansas
City for the purpose of making ar
rangementS to secure the prosecution
of the various railroad companies in the
state for violations of the law passed
by the last legislature with reference
to the free transportation to shippers
of stock.
The stockmen desire to meet where
a county attorney may be depended
upon to do what they demand.
The legislature provided that with
one car of stock the shipper should re-
ceive a pass for the round trip. The
law also provides that the shipper or
his employe shall also receive free
transportation with each additional
three car loads of stock.
This law is being persistently and
systema ticaIly violated and the stock
men are beginning to complain. One
of the most prominent shippers in Kan
sas said to a Journal reporter today:
THE railroads pay no attention to
the new law concerning transportation.
In fact, they seem to regard laws en-
acted by the Kansas legislature as
dead letters and are not governed by
them in any sense 1t seems to me
that the attorney general would be sue
cessful in showing violation of the
law. My own experience coming from
Kansas City today indicates that the
violation is very general The Santa
Fe refused to comply with the provis-
ions of the new law upon my request
for transportation and are doing bust
ness under the regulations which the
author of the law passed by the last
legislature sought to destroy Every
man who has made a shipment of cat
tie since the law was passed could come
to Topeka and testify that the railroads
are violating this transportation law
and I believe they should be brought
to time. The stockmen are the suf-
ferers while the railroad company is
the gamer
Section of the new law. which is
chapter 167, session laws of 1897, is as
follows:
Any officer or employe of any rail-
road company or corporation who vio-
lates the provisions of this act shall
be deemed guilty of a misdemeanOr and
shall on conviction be fined in the sum
of not less than $50 nor more than 5000,
and it is hereby made the duty of the
county attorney to prosecute all viola
tions of this act, and for such service
in the prosecution thereof, upon a con-
vietion, the court shall enter up as a
part of the costs in said action a fee
of S25 for the said county attorney. For
the enforcement of this act suit may
be brought in any court of competent

roast beef can be produced in unlimited

tramps must be wandering over the
country going to physical and moral
wreck The all-seeing eye and the all
grasping hand of society in the name
of the government could reach out and
stop it. Magnificent houses can be
built, magnificent mills erected, mag
nificent orchards planted, magnificent
herds of cattle and swine can be bred:
the whole world can be fed and clothed
without a hitch, with scarcely
conscious effort, but not while we per-
init the tramp curse to go on. 1t is
because our system is wrong that we
have tramps. The state now educates

GOV. LEEDY AT THE GAME.
He Sees Abilene Whip the Topeka
Baseball Team.

Gov. Leedy went to the ball game
yesterday. He was induced to go by his
private secretary, who assured him that
he would see something that would
make his heart glad.
There is no provision at the ball park
to take care of distinguished guests
for the governor or General Manager
Frey of the Santa Fe railroad who is
a frequent visitor.
But no matter, for Gov. Leedy pre-
fers to be a man of the people. and he
occupied the soft side of board in the
grand stand with evident satisfaction
Gov Leedy may be statesman, but
he does not know much a about base ball.
He tried to look cheerful and happy
when a brilliant play was made for Mr..
Litt1e's- sake, but he did not always
succeed.
The governor has played town ball,
but that was before the days of UNI
pires and the curved ball and all these
modern things.
He asked Mr.. Little why the pitcher
threw the ball SO swiftly.
They can never hit it, he said. and
his prediction was frequently fulfilled
But Gov. Leedy did but little talking
He generally knows when to talk, and
yesterday was not one of the times.
When Mr.. Little in his enthusiasm
stood up and waved his hat, Governor
Leedy mildly warned him that he was
in danger of falling out of the grand
stand
When Topeka came to bat and re-
peatedIy failed to score, Mr. Little bid
defiance to decorum and shouted until
he was hoarse-
The game was almost over when some
one called Gov Leedy- 1t was an Of
fee seeker. He listened to him while
one inning was being played and then
resumed his seat with the remark:
rs a man safe, nowhere2''
Gov Leedy said he enjoyed the game
and perhaps he did.

WOULD YOU BE A TRAMP
What Sort of a Life Do You
Suppose
These Thousands of Pariahs of
Society Lead!
They Are Men Gone to Destruction
and They Won't Work in West
ern Kansas Harvest Fields,
or Anywhere.

There are not 5000 tramps marching
through western Kansas as the able
(bodied) breadwinners who correspond
for the eastern papers have announced,
but there are tramps there They may
be numbered by several thousands, too
There is indignation among the farm
ers out there because these trampS Will
not stop their onward march to help
gather the wheat harvest which is
bursting out at the ears. The mistake
that the farmers and other people make
is that a man whose whole moral ma
ture has been ruined by several years
of fdIeness and begging retains any
desire to work even for good wages
The real tramp will work only under a
taskmaster. He isn't going to stop and
risk the chance of sunstroke for all the
wheat in Barton county When he
first began tramping looking for work
he would have rolled up his sleeves
and trousers and waded into the wheat
field gladly. He would have accepted
a dollar day with gratitude; but
scowIs, bull dogs. police judges and
brakemen wearing number 10 hobnailed
shoes have changed him He has got
no work and he has been pursued by
society. He owes society nothing, in
his own opinion.
Self-respect makes a man seek work
and the tramp's Self-reSpect has all
oOzed out. What hasn't OOZed out has
been pummeled out and now society
wonders in the dumb way peculiar to
society what is the matter with the
tramp.

LACK OF TEAM WORK.
Johns Hopkins Hockey Players De-
feated the Local Boys

The game of hockey last night at the
Convention Hall Ice Palace between the
All-Wash.ngton and Johns Hopkins Uni
sersity teams was exciting and amply re-
paid the large humber of people who braved
the weather to see 1t. The enthusiasm
caused by the skaters was intense and the
game. if it accomplished no other purpose,
showed that 1t can be made a most popu-
lar local sport.
The teams lined up for the game in the
following order:
Washington-HenAley, c.; Maize. r. f.;
Bushnell. !. f.; Mcdonald r; Morris, c. D.
Peterson, p, and Rogers, 6.
Johns Hopkins-Hils, c.; Hodges, r. f.:
Bagg. l. f.; Mitchell. r.; Williams, C. p.;
Nelson D., and Scholl, &.
Two halves of fifteen minutes each were
played. The Hopkins boys made the first
goal in two and three-fifths seconds: In
fact before the Washington players could
get their breath. After this the home team
settled down. Every member played well.
hut the old story Of splendid individual
playing against team work was soon illus
trated and the visitors added goal after
goal to their credit. When one of the Wis
itors seat the puck away from him it went

The Big Fight Will Probably Be
Fought in That Nevada City.
GOVERNOR SADLER Is RETlCENf
Races for the Local Skating
Championship.
CURRENT SPORTING NOTES

SAN FRANCISCO. January 2a-It is al
most a foregone conclusion that the Cor
bett-Fitzsimmons fight will take place In
Nevada, and it Is about equally certain that
the ring will be pitched at Carson. Every
thing points to the vertfcation of this dual
prophecy.
No opposition to the bill permitting the
fight has been manifested in the upper
house, and the vast array Of Nevadans who
are favorable to the measure voice the
opinion that it will go through without a
struggle. A number Of Carson clergymen
will lend their moral support to the Oppo-
nents of the scheme. but the friends of the
bill are not worried over the outlook. They
claim that public sentiment Is too strong
to be combated and that a vote In Carson
alone would develop the fact that 80 per
cent Of the people want the championship
of the world to be decided in that section
of the country.
The chief executive of the state has firm
ly declined to express an opinion as to
how the matter strikes him. He has re-
fused to be interviewed on the subject,
but the Carson folks have about concluded
that Gov. Sadler win be swayed by the
wishes of the majority.
AS to the location of the fight, w. K.
Wheelock, partner of Dan Stuart, Is as non
committal as the governor Is In respect to
the new bill.
The Carson people are working hard to
secure the fight. and while Reno and Vir-
ginia City have claims to put forward. it
is admitted that Carson stands the best
chance of capturing the contest.
