THBRE will soon be letting of q
large number of star postal routes,
among them the Emmons county
routes. The word ''star' as applied
to mail routes denotes the overland
or team routes. We have heard that
the name comes from it being the
habit, In preparing mail-route lists at
Washington, to mark this class Of
routes with an asterisk, or star.
Wednesday, Special Agent Smith, who
was i4 town, visited the Record office
and gave us some interesting i1forma-
tion regarding the new methods that
the department. has adopted In letting
these routes and in carrying the mails
thereon. In the first place, the routes
will be let to some one residing on or
near the line. Heretofore, 1t has been
usual for some capitalist in another
state to make q business of bidding on
large numbers Of routes, and bidding
away down. When the route was let
to him he would send an agent out to
secure sqb-contractors at as low
figure as possible, an effort being made
in each instance to secure q carrier at
figures which would ALLOW the p0n-
resident profit. Mr.. Smith says that
the result has been that many of the
routes have been sub-contracted at
such low figure that the carrier was
unable to keep horses that could make
the time, and the public has been In
convenienced in consequence. While
the new plan may not do away with
cut-throat bidding, every man who
gets contract and carries q route will
know that Whatever he does get is all
his own, and while facing the wintry
blasts of winter he will be kept in q
better frame at mind by contempla-
tion Of the fact that some wealthy
chap in Iowa or Illinois, or somewhere
else, will not get part Of the proceeds
Of his work.
Another innovation is the regula-
tion allowing the people to have pri-
yate boxes along star routes, in which
the mail Of those putting up the boxes
will be placed bye the driver, after
he has been notified to do so. This
does not apply only to those who live
right on line, but to any one who
puts up a box and gives proper notia-
catian.
Following is q list Of Emmons coun.
ty routes, as furnished to the Record
by Agent Smith. Information con-
cerning them will be given: by any
postmaster along the respective routes
of the county, Who will furnish blanks
for bidding on the route or routes on

THE INEVIrABLE CONSEQUENCE.

The violence which has been rampant in Kansas
for weeks now has naturally and inevitably led
up to bloodshed and fatalities When the law temper.

1t has been question from the beginning of Mrs.
Nations crusade whether private citizens had the right
to take the law into their hands and abate, by
the destruction OF private property what they might
construe into nuisance Mrs Nations defenders say
that it this question which she desired to test in
the courts. When she began the smashing of Joints"
she arrested, but refused to give bond sent
to Jail and waited for her trial in order to test the issue
upon which she desired decision by the courts The
magistrates cowardly evaded the question by turning
her loose, and she continued in her violent methods

1t was the duty of the courts to try her case and
determine promptly whether she engaged in e-
Ultimate unlawful proceeding. If that matter had
been promptly settled she would have been convicted
and taught sanitary lesson else the saloonists
would have learned that they and their property
outawed and would undoubtedly have fastened to get
out of the path of danger.
The result Of the nerveless and really contemplate
conduct of the law officers of the State is the loss
life to say nothing of the other effects The blood
has been shed is largely upon the hands OF the officers

In the very incipency of the trouble The Post took
the position that the officers of the State and
the nonenforcement Of the laws that the bottom
of the outbreak and that the officials really the
upon whom the public indignation should fall
The conduct of these officials since has been even more
reprehensible and if Kansas wants to deal out equal
and impartial justice she should punish her court and
peace officers as well those guilty of rotous pro-
ceedngs.
Possibly after awhile American communities will
reach the point where they will exact from those
chosen to maintain order and enforce the laws

merely to pose as officials and draw their salaries

The United States senate seems more than willing

known as the Spooner bill as an amendment TO the
army appropriation bill.
AS The Post showed some time since this Spooner
bill proposes to confer upon the president alone the
full and complete authority to such government
In the Philippines as seems to him expedent 1t is the
creation OF autocratic power In the president so far
as those Islands are concerned for some time to come
The czar Of Russia has greater authority in any of
his dominions than William Mckinley would have in
the Philippines under the Spooner bal

shape of an amendment TO OF the most necessary

dangerous one, and that public sentiment has not
been slow to condemn. II is species OF taking adj
