The electric road from Baxter TO
Galena is no idle dream. The best
citizens of both Galcna and our
neighboring town are taking an
active interest ia the project aud
there ought TO be no such thing Q
fail in it. The Baxter people show
the right spirit in the matter. They
realize that the road would bring
trade TO Galena, but they expect,
and rightfully, too, that this loss
would be more than balanced by
the patronage Baxter would receive
from this end of the line. No other
town in this whole southwest sec.
ton possesses the natural require
ments of a pleasure resort that Bax-
ter does, and it Is just such place
as the people of this section need TO
be in touch with. Baxter has nd
yantages that Galena does not pos
sess and Galena likewise has advan.
tages not owned by Baxter. Both
towns would be benefited by COM
ing into the closer relations that an
electricrailroad would afford. tits
confidently believed by the pro.
moters of the enterprise that the
road can be built providing a prop
er franchise can be obtained in
Galena. II does not seem possible
that the people of Galena will block
the enterprise by refusing a fran.
chise.--Galena Post.

The Baxter aud Galena people
seem to be working tremendously
together for the extension of the
electric line from Galena to Baxter.
1t is but q question of time as 10
the building of this road as there
is no doubt of the enterprise being
paying investment. The travel
on the line during reunion week
will very nearly pay the interest Oh
the capital invested. II is only a
question of time, too. when this line
will connect with Columbus and
from here on TO Scammon, Weir
and Pittsburg. The travel between
Columbus aud Baxter would per-
haps not justify the building of a
road as between these places, but
as connecting line between Bax-
ter, the terminal of the great lead
and zinc mining industry, and Col.
umbus, the terminal of the coal
mining district, would make, il
would seem, profitable road.
Some years ago there was a project
on foot in which II is said that Gen.
eral Benjamin F. Butler was one of
the promoters, to build an electric
passenger and freight belt line from
Carthage TO Webb City, Joplin, Ga
lena, Baxter Springs, Columbus,
Scammon, Weir City, Pittsburg, and
from Pittsburg to Carthage, FORM
ing a complete circuit aud connect
ing the coal mining district with
the lead and zinc mines of this
county and Southwest Missouri.
This line is already completed aud
in operation TO Gaiena and there is
little doubt that In time the circuit
will be completed az first contem-

Spokane Chronicle: However much
one may differ with Governor Rogers as
to the wisdom of some OF the steps e
has taken during his ten weeks of office,
his honest desire for economy will hardly
be called in question; nor will it be de
MED that he is securing that economy.
His veto OF the normal school appropri-
atoms may make enemies his rejection
of the capitol bill will not make Olympia
a more pleasant place to live; his decis.
ion that the national guard must be cut
down to match the funds available will
cause heartburnings and complaints; but
the mere fact that he disregards the re.
suits to his own popularity in such cases
proves that he is something more than a
polltician-that he is man who is re-
solved to govern this state in the way he
believes to be for its best interest, with.
out favor or fear.
II John r. Rogers will but hold to this
principle, no error of judgment he il
likely to make will prevent his taking
rank as the best governor the state of
Washington has ever known.

Row over shc state University.

There was a hot session OF the state
university regents, at Seattle last week.
President Mark Harrington wanted to re
sign instanter, to which the board, par
ticularly the new members, offered no
serious objection. Harrington was not
willing however, to do so without casting
a reflection upon the present state ad
ministrstion. and incidentally taking a
slap also at the new regents.
In his resignation, which he WAS re
quested to put in writing, President Har
rington alleged that the appropriation
made by the legislature was insufficient,
to maintain the university at its present
high standard of efficiency, and that il
had already been made apparent to hin
that he could not concur in the policy
outlined by the new board. To this the
board replied by unanimously acceptinl
the resignation, declaring also that Presi
dent Harrington, who received $1,000 pc
year salary for his services, had neglected
his duties, leaving them to be performed
by others, and that he was untitled tC
