House Calls Bruce Down.

The following appeared in the Mail
Saturday:
James Bruce has been in the city
today visiting friends among the rail-
readers. Mr.. Bruce lives in EmpCria
and Is the man who recently resigned
as engineer at the reform school at
Topeka because Of the mismanage.
ment and corruption in that iDstitu-
tiGn.
Mr.. Bruce used to be a Santa Fe
engineer. He has been one of the
NEST active Populists workers in the
state for years. He is still working
politically but not for Leedy.
He denounces Leedy and his admin
istration because of their pypocritical
course on the labor question.
D. B. House, who has been en-
ployed in the State Reform school for
a gear or more past, arrived home this
morning, having resigned his place.
He brings the above item to this
office and desires to refuie il. He
says: "3ruce quit the Reform school
because the board would not increase
his salary. The board had no author
ity under the law TO give him more
wages, and Mr.. Bruce refusing to
work they secured a new man. Bruce
thought sure he would get the raise
and was disappointed when he was
let sout. he was in telephone COM
mupication with Congressman Curtis
and the Republican committee before
he left the school and is now travel
! ing over the state for a purpose. He
never had any moDev ahead while at
work, In fact was ALWAYS borrowing
Some one is undoubtedly putting uT

the barn feeding the horse. Mrs.
Schwinn carried a lighted lantern,
which fell apart and set fire to a
bunch of hay. The flames spread so
rapidly that all efforts to extinguish
them were futile. One OF Mr..
Schwinn's boys made heroic effort
to carry the burning hay frsm the
barn, but IL burned so rapidly that
his labors were iL vain. Fred Cline
happened TO be near when the fire
broke out, and ran tn their assistance.
He managed to get the mare out Of
the barn into the lot but could not
open the gate, which had become en-.
veloDed In flames. He jumped over
the fence to save his own life, and the
mare ran hlindly back into the fire.
The 6re department arrived too late
to do much good. The total loss will
aggregate about $500. There was $50
insurance on the barn. Journal,

Yet Mr. Bailey says that the law
is unjust ard that the companies
have not reduced their charges.
If the charges have not been re-
duceu, it is because the company dis
pbeys the law and the order OF the
court, and iG is such men as Mr.. Bailey
that encourage the company to violate
the law with the expectation that IN
case the Republicans are successful in
the coming election that the law will
be repealed. Should Mr.. Bailey be
elected to congress, will he serve the
people or the corporations?
The insurance law requires the COM
pany, in case Of total loss by fire,
tornado, or lightning to pay the full
amount Of the policy.
1t has been the custom Of insurance
companies to pay the loss promptly to
their wealthy and influential patrons
but to the average citizen their agent
after ascervaining that the company
is justly and legally liable for the full
amount Of the policy would offer to
compromise at about one half or the
policy and threaten to contest the
claim 10 the courts unless his offer
was accepted. As rule the claimant,
not having tile meanS TO employ an
attorney would comply with his
demands and receive from the com
pany one half Of his just dues.
Under the present law, WeD0 NC
Nall requires the companies to pay
according to their contract, and in
case Of a total loss to pay the full
amount Of the policy, the poor man,
or man in moderate circumstances
being protected. TO this Mr.. Bailey
objects, and denOunces the law, and
claims that it is unjust to the
company.
He admits that the school text
book law has cheapeued the cost of
the school books about one half, but
he says we get poor books at a low
price. Persons differ in their choice
of text books as they differ in other
things. 1t is the opinion of many
that the state books now in use are
better than those usually iu use prior
to state uniformity.
There has been some complaint
that old books could not be exchanged
for new ones. The law gave the pen-
pie one year after the adoption Of the
books in which the books in use could
be exchanged for the new books. If
boards Of education neglected to take
advantage Of that provision ot the
law, it worked hardship upon the
people Of the district, but the law
should not be held responsible for
their neglect.
In my opinion. Mr. Bailey'S contPn-
ticnS are not sustained bv the facts,
and as he is so fearful Of intruding
upon privileges Of corporations, h9
would be worse than useless as a
member of congress.
The stock ward law means a saving
to the nennle of Kansas OF not less
than 5000 900 a year, and the insurance
and text book laws will each save tC
the people an amount fully as large.
