COME HOME
Company Paid Expenses There and
Strikers TO Return

About a week ago Henry c. Scott, Of ST.
Louis. who is the president Of the Wichita
Electric Light and Power company, wired
his representative here. Mr.. B. A Ward,
asking him if he could send twenty ex-
perienced motormen TO Waco, Texas,
where a strike was in progress on the
street car line, which Is owned by Mr.
Scott. Mr.. Ward worked diligently and
secured ten men who had worked here on
the electric cars. He furnished them with
transportation to Waco. The men rode
all day and at o'clock in the morning
they arrived in Waco, tired out with the
journey. They were met in a suburb by
the superintendent who had hacks in wait
ing FOR them. The strikers were al the
train and met the Wichita men. They
told them that before going to work that
they would like to talk the matter over.
The Wichita fellows begged 10 be excused
al that time, saying they were so tired
and sleepy that they did not feed like dis
cussing anything. but If they would come
around in the morning they would be
glad 10 hear them. This was satisfactory
to the strikers. In the morning they met.
The Waco strikers said: Now you fell
lows can go 10 work; we won't hurt you,
but we are in the right and we wish you
wouldn't"
The Wichita motormen said: We'll, we
came down here 70 so to work. We haven't
any money 20 defray our expenses back
TO our home in Wichita"
Wen settle that" said the strikers. So
they furnished the Wichita motormen
with transportation and they came home.
Those who went TO Waco were: S. a.
McNabb. G.. II. Stobie, Frank Nicholson.

Mayor Ross said yesterday that ne did
not know just what would be done, but
ne hoped the parties would hold the mat
Re rover until next spring, when il would
not cost the city more than s. for extra
stationery, but if the election was called
in thirty days after the call was published
twould be an additional expense of 8. 900.
Mayor Ross said that ne was for munich
pal ownership if the lighting and water
works could be obtained together. But
this would be FIVE years yet, as the city
now has a five year contract with the
water company. He thought that 20 own
one without the other would be a great
deal OF expense. as il would necessitate
building other engine houses. boilers, etc.
Just what Will be done is a question.

BOYS HAVE FUN
Frank Garst Takes Fifty Boys to
GrisW0Id Park.

Mr.. Frank Garst, yesterday made the
heart OF half a hundred boys rebound with
pleasure Mr.. Garst. apparently enjoyed
his generosity as much as did his youth
ful guests He saw a carryan standing on
the corner Of Douglas and Main street He
walked up TO the driver and said: How
much will you charge for your rig for two
hours?"
Two dollars" replied the man.
You're engaged said Mr.. Garst. I'll
pay you one dollar in cash now" He gave
the driver the dollar. Now you go up
and down the street and get that wagon
fun Of boys, when you have it crowded.
I'll give you the other dollar"
The driver started out and picked up
every boy in sight. It wasn't long until
he had the carryall filed up. They were
on the steps. in the seats. on the bed and
everywhere hand could grab and a foot
get hold.
Mr.. Garst then had the driver take them
TO Griswold park; when he got there he
saw a peanut stand He walked up ard
asked the proprietor how much he would
take for his stock. There was no parley
ing about heterms. Mr.. Garst bought
him out He then told the boys to sail in.
A Illinois cyclone could not have stripped
that peanut stand any quicker than did
these boys After spending some time
around the grounds. he loaded the boys
into the wagon and brought them into
the city where he lined them up in single
file and bought each one Of them a half
mound Of candy He then bid them good
bve. Turning 70 afriend he said The
American boy Is great institution

JOSEPH LETTER.

Joseph Letter has a body guard. Just why
Joseph needs body-guard is question that
Joseph would not like to answer, and have the
answer published. A guilty conscience tits
said, needs no accuser. Joseph must have guilty
conscience. The lurking assassns are lurking
in the dark recesses of Joseph's bosom. The
fear of external violence springs from the inner
knowledge of having wronged somebody. Who
has Joseph wronged? Is not Joseph great
6nancier? Is he not a business man of the
most approved type? Most assuredly. Joseph
is we'll up to Hanna, and should be U. S.
senator. He has reaped where he has not sown,
and, beside his reaping, the laborer is only
cleaner. Joseph made dollars where the wheat
raiser made cents, and every loaf of bread con-
sumed by the toilers in factories and workshops
have added to Joseph's gains. And yet, Joseph
is not happy, and, like Cain, who slew his
brother, he imagines that some one wants to
kill him. Joseph would not imagine that some
one wants to kill him if his life work had one
redeeming trait. Preachers doctors, teachers,
inventors, artisans and farmers travel at all
hours and in all sorts of places, end not one of
them needs body-guard. In all these profess
sions there is an entire absence of guilty con-
science Women, on missions of mercy, go
down into the slums of our cities, and angels
guard their precious lives. There are few
congressman, lawyers and editors who are
shielded with innocense. Not so the windy
wheat dealer. Gaunt forms and pale, pinched
features are present to the vision of Joseph and
sometimes the wall of children, for bread, is
heard To Joseph, hunger is turned into hate,
and, for a great wrong, vengeance is sought.
Joseph should not be alarmed. Americas god
is money. Property is above life. Success in
getting money, 10 matter how, is the sure road
to fame and high positions and, above all, the
supreme court still lives.

If the government can seize telegraph Of
fee in war time and administer it to the salts
faction and for the welfare of the people, why
not do the same in time of peace? The green
back was all right in time of war. 1t carried
us through the greatest war OF modern times
and was then attacked by men who would not
have dared to whisper word against it while
booming cannon talked at the front. Corpora
tions want control of the money and the means
of transmitting intelligence and the private In
te1ests of men clash with their public duties,
and when such men are sent as representatives
their love of self overcomes love of country and
they abandon policy that was safe IN war and
turn over great privileges to corporations, OF
which themselves or their clients are the chief
promoters -Nonconforinist.

MARTIN MONUMENT.

The Atchison Globe fund for the erection of
monument to Ex-Governor John A. Martin
has reached nearly S 900. Some months ago,
Ex-Governor St. John went to Topeka and or
ganized, with flourish of trumpets, Martin
monument association. So far, it has raised
just $6.-Kansas City Journal.
AS monumental liar the Kansas City Jour
nal has become notorious Gov. St. John didn't
60 to Topeka or any other place and organize a
"Martn monument association" but Gov. St.
John did write modest open letter. which was
published in many newspapers, asking the peo-
pie to raise a fluid to erect a monument at the
grave of Gov. Martin. Gov. St. John was the
first to contribute to the fund, and it was not
until Gov. ST. John started the movement that
such narrow lying partisan sheets as the Kan
sas City Journal took any interest whatever in
a monument to the memory of Gov. Martin;
and it has no interest now in the matter ex-
cept to vent its contemplate partisan spirit of
bitterness against Gov. St. John. Gov. St.
John waited for years. hoping that others
would start the movement and at last, giving
ND all hope of its coming from other sources,
he, with the full concurrence of Gov. Martins
widow, wrote the letter which started the
movement that we are glad to know will end in
the accomplishment of the result much de-
sired. A newspaper that tries to make politi-
cal capital out of such matters is unworthy to
be read by decent people.-Olathe Tribune.

MCKINLEY may not be low politician, but if
he is not, he is certainly a heightened one.
The resignation of John Sherman as secretary OF
state emphasizes one of the most disgraceful
pieces of political engineering ever performed
by an executive officer. Sherman was in his
dotage when appointed, and was no more fit for
the place than school boy is to be chief JUS
tice. But there was no other way to get Hanna
into the senate except to get Sherman out OF it.
The only way TO get Sherman out was to lead
him out through the cabinet. This, the imte-
cile who poses as president of the United States
did, regardless of the injury the appointment OF
Sherman has done the country Verify, Nc

REPUBLICAN papers are saying, keep poll
tics out of the war;" yet, every chance they
get to do so, they inject politics. When Gov
ernor Leedy appointed Fred Funston colonel OF
the first Kansas regiment, the people generally
commended him for the action, but such Repub-
lican papers as the Kansas City Journal and its
echoes ascribed to Leedy a political motive
though how they could do so we cannot under
stand. Governor Leedy also recommended the
appointment of Maj. ]. K. Hudson as COM
1fander in chief of the Kansas troops; and in
this, also, he has proven that he has higher
motive than mere politics. The papers that
are criticising him for these actions are actuat-
ed by dishonesty.

CONGRESSMAN CURTIS took occasion to
"roast' Governor Leedy last Friday. Curtis
is trying to secure the job of commander-in-
chief of the Kansas troops for J. F. w. Hughes,
the fellow who refused to obey his superior
officer, and he isn't at all particular about the
tactics he uses to carry his point. However,
Curtis is the only member of the Kansas dele
CATION in congress who favors Hughes. The
others are for Maj. ]. K. Hudson, who is gov
ernor Leedy's choice.

THE last legislature of Nebraska had ma
jority of fusion legislators, and appointed
committee to look up Republican use of state
funds. Recently the committee reported and
finds that Republican officials had stolen state
funds to the amount of $1,323 900. Not only
was there wholesale stealing, but the Republi-
can legislators had so framed the laws that the
thieves got away with the plumber. In the
face of these facts, the Republicans of Nebraska
have the cheek to ask the people of that com
monwealth for another grab at the public treas
ury.
