A BURDEN OF PUBLIC LIFE

Mr.. Hearst's young men have finally
been discharged from custody and re-
leased from the charge of contempt of
court of which they were adjudged guilty
by Judge Hanecy. In granting the writ
OF habeas corpus and discharging the
members of the Chicago American edi-
torial staff from custody Judge Dunno
who was appealed to in the case said
that the case hinged on whether the
case on which the Chicago American
commented had been disposed of by
Judge Hanecy or was still pending.
Judge Dunno held that the case in
question had been finally disposed of
by Judge Hanecy when he gave his de-
cision from the bench. The fact that
the clerk had not entered the order
when the comment on the decision was
printed and published, therefore does
not show that the case was still pend
ing. The act of entering the order on
the record was merely a ministerial
act, Judge Dunno said
Judge Dunno admitted that the ar
ticles and cartoon which Judge Hanecy
objected to were clearly calculated to
intinidate and coerce the court. had the
court net already rendered its decision.
Judge Dunno admitted that the cartoon
in evidence wa. probably lfbelous and
the articles possibly so.
Harsh criticism" Judge Dunno re-
marked, lis one of the incidents and
burdens Of public life. I see no reason"
he said, why judge should be offered
different remedy for attacks In the
public prints than president. or a gov
erncr, or congressman. Criticism of
public official. if just. viii do good;
IL unjust, will do no HARM
In concluding the court said:
It am clearly of the opinion that the
language used in open court by Judge
Hanecy amounted to a final order dis
posing of the case under consideration
and that being a final order, under the
doctrine of contempt as laid down in
this state by our supreme court in
Storey VS.. The People, that the REALTORS
had a right to comment and criticise
that decision even to the extent of libel
ling the honored and respected judge
who rendered that opinion without ex-
posing themselves to prosecution for
contempt of court

CENTRAL BRANCH STORY.
Rumor of That Denver Extension is
Again in Circulation.

"a Reliable Source has again given
ont the information that the Central
Branch of the Missouri Pacific railroad
will be extended to Denver next year
This information comes, it is said, from
a man who mad a conversation with
General Manager Russell Harding OF
the Missouri Pacific while in St Louis
few days ago.
Mr.. Harding said that work on the
extension would probably be started
about March I and pushed to compile
ton as rapidly as possible
The Central Branch railroad from
Atchison to Lenora covers distance of
1913 miles. If the extension can be built
straight through to Denver about zoo
miles of new track will be necessary to
complete the connection with the Rocky
Mountain metropolis.

SpaSSionately.
IA few weeks ago the financial editor
of a New York paper wrote me to ask
as to the devastation in Kansas, grow
ing out of loss of the corn crop. II we
had had three months of simeon. 90
days of cyclone, followed by four weeks
of floods, the papers would probably
run in big type: kansas obliterated
from the map
MY reply was that there was no de-
vastation in Kansas. We have about
one-third corn crop. plenty of rough
feed, about so, 000 900 bushels of wheat,
crop of 1901), and more than $S0,0oO,O00
on deposit in Kansas banks, an increase
of $40 coo, 900 in five months. A larger
acreage of wheat was sown this fall
than ever before. and it never was as
promising as now.
''More-we have a million and a half
of people who have, during the past
five years, paid off the larger part Of
their Indebtedness. who are building
and improving, who are hopeful and
happy, who know Kansas and her pos
sibilities, and who are no longer fright
ened by a few weeks drought which
was more severe in neighboring states. :"
