NEW RAILROAD STATION
ANOTHER RUMOR THAT WILL
MINGTON is TO HAVE A 100000
STATION.

ANU HEN hOMOh 4 fiAl W IL
MINcTON is TO HAVE A 100000
STATION.
Again a report comes from Phlladel-
phia that the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company intends to erect a new pas
senger station in this city, to meet the
growing demands of the company. Ac-
,ording TO a statement of an official.
he plans have been approved and
when completed the station will cost
about $4,000.
For some time there has been specu-
alton as to where the new station
would be located and rumor has 1t that
he site selected would be in the VI
,inity OF Fourth and Pine streets,
where the company holds plenty Of
property If the station is erected at
hat point the French street station
will be used by the officials and execu-
tive departments of the system The
erection of the new station at some
1ther place would cause a depreciation
n the value OF property within the
neighborhood Of Front and French
streets and would also necessitate a
change in street car service.

lartist Of education II looks like the
work OF an amateur
The final decision. therefore. rests
between the model Cf Mr. Amateis and
that of ODonovan and Neihouse.
The O'Donovan model Is not. In our
Judgment, acceptable Tho figure Is not
at all that OF Mr. Bayard. Nobody ever
saw Mr.. Bayard In that attitude He
is presented as stif. rigid, his arms
cllnging to his sides-an unnatural and
unfamiliar Bayard The Delaware
statesman was always easy and quiet
in attitude.
The exedra is gracefully designed,
but too low which makes the figure
stand too high and somewhat discon-
nected from It's base There Is in this
model every evidence that the artist
has not made a study OF the person
Iality. life and character OF the man.
The project provides for seats for loaf
ers, lovers. obacco-expectorators and
Others who may choose 10 interpose
their inhormonious presence 20 the
dctriment OF the statue. A monument
TO a great man should have no other
purpose.
The location OF monument may
beautify or harm Ii. II should not
stand beside building unless It har-
mcnizes with II in color and in archl-
lecture: otherwise the statue Is
dwarfed
The Amateis monument would look
well In the plot across the bridge or in
any park or promcntory where II
could stand alone.

Recently in conversation with one of
the owners of one of the meat markets in
the city the question was asked: could
you not kill enough of the hogs that are
shipped from here, cure the meat and
save freight both ways giving the people
as good or better article than they now
get and it be to the advantage of yourself
and those with whom yon deal1n The
reply was Certainly we could if we
were not afraid to undertake it. We are
so far from Kansas City that we have
been allowed so far to kill the ANIMALS
needed to supply our customers with
fresh meat; but we do not know how
soon this may be stopped by the meat
trust as 1t has been at Olathe, Lawrence,
Emporia and in fact mosa places. II
would take quite an investment to do the
work mentioned economically; but it
would pay at prices the trust charges.
The trouble is if person would get nice.
ly started they would very likely come
IN and undersen and break usup in busi.
ness and then they would have the field.
No one dares to fight them and everyone
IS afraid to invest in plant or IN any
way do other than as the trust dictates. y
This is but one of the many object les
sons trusts are giving us right at home.
How many more will be needed before
the people rise in their might and crush
these monsters?

An effort will be made to pass bill
through the legislature this winter pro-
viding for vote upon a constitutional
amendment at the next general election
providing for election of county officers
only once in two years each officer to
hold four years and be ineligible to re-
election. Such an amendment would
certainly carry as it should. Elections
are too numerous. Too much time and
money are spent on them. There is too
much politics in Kansas. A better plan
would be to elect all officers state and
local the years of presidential elections,
once in four years instead of once in two
years as provided or once year as now.

And now it is seriously proposed by

the first step to city ownership and rec
ognition Of the principle for which So

Union Live Stock Commission Co.

One OF the most successful commission
men doing business in Kansas CITY is
Ex-Congressman Mason S. Peters. The
business of his company has grown be-
cause those sending cattle or hogs to
them have been fairly treated and be-
cause they understand the business and
get the very best results. Jerry Simpson
visited the VOICE Office one day last
week and gave some details of the meth
ods OF the company of which he is now a
member. Their motto printed on their
cards is ITO Those Who Produce Busi-
ness Belong the Profits of the Business &"
Any who intend shipping cattle or hogs
should write to the above firm at Kansss
City, Mo-, before doing so. The charac.
ter OF the men managing the business,
the excellent plan upon which they work
and their splendid record in the past are
recommendations which should at least
induce every shipper who may read this

Another object lesson in favor of gov

class of government employees and all be-
cause they are treated fairly. Every
year some means is found to get more
work out of every employe Of the rail.
road for the money paid. Itrarely hap.
pens that strike is not justifable, and this
one is no exception to the general rule,
but the railroad company will win as
they nearly always have in every contest
with the people. How long will it take
the strike fOr public ownership at the
ballot box and effectually right their
wrongs?
