STRIKE Is A MATTER
OF PAST HISTORY
So Says Superintendent Tfce of Okla

Not Interested.

WICHITA, Kan, Dec. 16.-"The opera

said Superintendent Tice of the OklahaTna
division tonight Two small stations are
without operators, but not because we
cannot get men to supply them. We have
agents sufficient for all the purposes OF
the stations Our trains are coming in
and going out In better shape than before
the strike. In most OF our stations oper-
ators, as we have found out since the
strike began. are more of a convenience
than a necessity. Many of our old nrer-
ators. say 80 per cent. of them, world
like to come back, and a great number
have asked TO come back, but /: is out
or the question. In many places esDec-
fally at the smaller stations, they are
securing the signatures of patrons OF the
road TO petitions praying for their re-
instatement
THE only trouble we are experiencing
In the strike row is the clerical time
sacrificed In receiving applications for se-
instatement. We have a strikers file in
my office and I will say to you. In all
candor. that It is the biggest file we have
at present. The statement issued By the
strikers that my special was tied up IN
Oklahoma for lack OF operators Is abso-
lutely false. had no trouble whatever
and ran on time over the dvisioa so did

the Associated Press correspondent.
1t is all nonsense. No one knows bet

In the operators strke-not even the
semblance Of justification. / am In very
close touch with the trainmen of my III

efforts and rescued fifteen. but the weight

ry means OF ropes thrown to them. The
port authoxsties saved many of the sail
ors. The survivors have been received
at the hospital, the Hotel dc Vile and
private houses. All the theaters In NAL
aga abandoned their performances this
evening.

ONE DAY.

Some persons may have thought that yester-
day was a rather dull day on the stage of events.
Neither Congress nor the Legislature was in
session; the regular meeting of the Presidents
Cabinet was said to be barren; the long task Of
subjugating Devery developed nothing new and
momentous; the narrowing story about the
drowning of fifty children in a Western lake
turned out to be heartless hoax apparently
fabricated by some wouldbe wag of idiotic ten
denotes who has lamentably mistaken his voca-
ton; Wall Street intermitted its cheerful prac-
tice Of breaking the record; the chief of the
Omaha ki6nappers declined to put himself in
touch with the police; the art and science of
hazing at the United States Military Academy
was further explored, but no novel variations
were disclosed China continued to speculate on
the weakness of the Powers and there was no
authentic sign in any quarter that the world
was coming to an end.
But nobody was justified in drawing from
these superficial and negative indications the
conclusion that yesterday was even in remote
sense dies non. Consider for q moment some
of the things which did happen, and which.
being recorded by vigilant press, though per-
haps in some instances too obscureIy, made an
| immediate and irresistible appeal TO instructed
and imaginative minds. In Chicago, for ex-
ample. corner in beans was decsively estab-
lshed. 1t is, we suppose, necessary to admit
that there are individuals, and even large ele-
ments Of the population, to whom this an
rouncement will appear of little Importance and
convey encouragement But that is because
| they don't know beans. They may be aware of
the existence of a socalled article of food bear
| ing that name which some persons are CAPABLE
/ of swallowing, but they have never made the
| acquaintance of the real thing, and consequently
| the significance OF the news concerning the con-
ditiOn of the bean market escapes them What is
the natural effect of a corner? Obviously to raise
| the price and thereby diminish the consumn-
| ton OF the commodity affected. Hence we NAV
1 reasonably hope that persons of uncultiyated
| taste will abandon the practice of eating beans
and that their use will be confined to those who
| intrust their preparation for the table only to
| great artists. In that case it is true results
similar to those which followed the discovery of
roast pig would doubtless be produced. and tba
rapid growth of an importunate demand would
raise the price TO unheard of figures But that
| is trifiing consideration. There is no eoncaiv.
able price at which beans of a superlative ouol
ity could be deemed extravaganza
Though we are far from conceding that the
| foregoing observations are exclusively or evar
primarily addressed to the lower nature of man
| let us turn 10 subject which more immediateIr
engages his intellectual and moral faculties 1rhe
