KIDNAPERS.

A few days ago, son of Cudahy, the Oma'
Ia meal. packer, was kidnped. The fellows
who stole the boy wrote Cudahy that II ne
would pay them $a5 900 in gold, they would re-
turn his son unframed. In the letter, they
gave directions how and where to leave the
money, and threatened to punch the boys eyes
out if he did not comply with their request to
the letter. Cudahy complied. The kidnapers
got the money and Cudahy got his boy.
The papers throughout the country nave
raised a great hue and cry about the matter
and that is all right, but we fail to see how or
why the kidnapping of millionaire's boy is any
worse than the kidnapping of lot OF Porto
Ricans and carrying them off to Hawaii to be
worked as slaves on Claus Spreckles' sugar
plantations; yet, these same papers that made
50 much noise about Cudahy's boy had little or
nothing to say about the kidnapping of the Por-
to Ricans. The kidnapers of the boy had no
intention of harming. They knew, in reason,
that they would get the sum demanded, when
they would turn the boy over to his father.
The Porto Rcans, however, were taken from
their homes and carried thousands of miles
away, to become slaves. Which is the worse
act of the two?

MORE SCHEMEING.

lust before election, it was reported that the
volunteers would begin to come home from the
Philippines at an early date. Immediately Of
ter election, the daily papers contained the in
formation that the boys were needed and would
not be sent home But now, it is again report
I'd that the volunteers are to be sent home right
away.
And here's the scheme: The advocates of
large standing army want it to appear that, as
the boys do not want to stay, and large army
is needed over there. it will be necessary to
take action at once to supply men to take the
places Of the returning volunteers This IS
done to create sentiment among the people in
favor of enla1ging the regular army.
This imperialistic, expansion administration
IS & very resourceful outfit. They know how
10 hatch schemes, and to carry them out. The
regular army will be enlarged.

We are in receipt of neat little volume OF
sketches and verse by Horace Howard Herr, of
Muscatine, Iowa. The author is young man,
barely "of age" yet he has had varied ex-
perience in the various lines of newspaper work.
The little book shows rare genius, and Horace
(who, by the way, is nephew of the editors of

The Kansas City Star of the 25th, under the
head of "The Pension Idea, )" has the following
editorial 1t is good reading, and shows how
Socialism is growing:
The pension idea appears to grow in popular
ity in this country. This style of aid, which
has been formerly limited TO soldiers, is now
suggested for other classes of benefcaries.
There is considerable agitation III favor of old
age pensions, system which has been found
satisfactory in New Zealand. Firemen and
police are pensioned through the agency of
private associations, and the State Teachers
association, which is to meet shortly i'll Jeffer-
son City, contemplates the formulation of bill
to provide pensions for superannuated teachers.
The abuse of pensions-which has been
Civil war-does not invalidate the correct prin.
ciple behind them. The care of what are call
ed deficient persons is a duty which society
cannot escape. Persons without means, who
become disabled through the infirmities of age
OF other causes must be aided in some
way. Misfortune is not a crime 10 be punished
by cruel neglect aud privation. The world,
with all of its riches and abundance, cannot
permit those who are feeble and incompetent to
starve or freeze.
Since the care and maintenance of such per-
sons is mandatory it would seem proper and de.
sirable that this responsibility should be dis
charged in the most efficient manner possible
and in style least offensive to the benehciaries.
And from the state under prudential regulations
appears to be the hest solution Of the problem.
Old age pensions would alay a tremendous
amount of fear and apprehension by worthy
and deserving people who are distressed by the
prospect of future want and dependence. This
shadow turks in many household where in
dnstry and economy prevail. 1t is source of
disquietude which ought to be banished by The
enactment of wise and benefcient laws
1t is an old saving that the world owes every
man living. That may be subject to the
modification that it certainly owes living to
every man and woman who has been faithful to
duty up to the measure OF their ability, and
whether it owes anything 10 the prohiga'e
and uprovident or not, it is none the less bou;.d
to look after them when they are no longer able
to look after themselves.
The pension idea, in its various forms may
be interpreted as indicating the rapid spread of
benevolence and philanthropy in the world, and
an enlarged underst anding of the responsible
ties of wealth. The country is becoming enor
,nously rich. The accumulation of wealth.

ANOTHER RAILROAD.
Soathern Pacific and Santa Re to Bold
ThrouQh Southern Nevada.

The San Francisco Examiner of
recent date says: G. p. Huntington,
President of the Southern Pacific
Company, in speaking about the pro
posed railroad from Salt Lake to
Los Angeles, said:
ayes, it is true the Southern Pacif-
ic and Santa Fe are jointly interest
ed in new route between Salt
Lake and Los Angeles. 1t will re-
quire the building of four hundred
miles Of new road from Salt Lake
southwest to a point on the Santa
Fe on the Mojave desert. Colt, a
station Just west of needles, Will
probably be the connecting point. l
have had surveys made from Salt
Lake to four points on the Santa Fe.
The best one of these routes will
soon be selected. When President
z. P. Ripley, of the Santa Fe, was
in San Francisco several weeks ago
l had conference with him on the
subject. We practically settled the
necessary details. A company will
soon be organized. 1t will be finan-
cially backed by the Southern Pa
cific and Santa Fe.
The new line will run a little to
the east of the Union Pacifc's line
from Salt Lake southwest via Mil
ford to the Nevada State line. 1t
will develop good local traffic in
addition to handling overland bust
ness. The line will open up some
valuable coal fields in Utah. No,
this project is not to interfere with
the Southern Pacihc's proposed cut
off between Los Angeles and Ogden
and the East by way of the Carson
X Colorado railroad. The latter
route will be by the way of Mohave,
Keller and proba bly, Wadsworth on
the Central Pacific"
