A Minneapolis paper complains
that there are not men enough in the
CITY to perform the labor that is to be

the way out is to fad. Just advance

The Western Uuion Telegraph
Company, it IS said, threatens to with.
draw from Kansas entirely. The fact
that any private concern is in a posi-
ton to scare the wits out OF the peo.
pie OF the state (although we'll con-
fess that we do not hear of many
being scsred) is the very best reason
for assuming that their power be
curbed. Such threats boats columns
OF editorials in favor Of public own
ershlp of public utilities. The rate
law should bs rigidIy enforced
call their bluff. Kansas is a good
field to try the experiment Of the
state owning its own telegraph system.
