Washington and took n hand in urging

Albert Duane Shaw was born in the
town of Lyme, Jefferson county, New
York. December 81, 1871: was educat-

vate in company A. Thirty-fifth New

out the term of enlistment; was APP
pointed n special agent of the War De-
partment in 1868. stationed at provost
marshal's headquarters at WATERFOWL,
New York. thus serving until the close
of the great war in 1865. He was
elected n member of the State Assem-
bly, in 1866, serving II term, and was
appointed colonel of the Thirty-sixth
regiment, National Guard of New

Only twelve years ago Mr.. Charles
NJ. Hays, the new president of the
Southern Pacific railroad, held a cler-
ical position. Now he receives the high
est salary paid to any railroad presi-
dent in America-probably in the
world. This is said to be $4,000, or
$1,000 more than is paid to the Presi-
dent of the United States, according to
the Saturday Evening Post. The pecu-
lfarity of Mr.. Hays mental equipment
which enables him to command this
splendid income is well illustrated by a
certain bunch of old letters reposing in
the pigeonhole of the desk of an Off
cial who was n subordinate of Mr..
Hays when the latter was general
manager of the Wabash road. Some
of these epistles are only two or three
lines in length, but not one of them Is
too short to contain n sentence of Off
cial commentator of the kind calcu-
lated to stir the heart Of the most in
different subordinate. The ability to
bestow approval with the same discern
ment and promptness with which he
metes out criticism is held to be the
secret of his phenomenal success.
His complete demonstration of re-
makable abilities for harmonizing con.
fiicting interests and attracting a large,
popular and loyal following was made
as vice president and general manager
of the Grand Trunk line. Here he en-
countered n deep-seated prejudice
against his Yankee origin and Ameri-
can methods. From fiagman to direc-
tors the road was stanchly British.
Red tape and officialism were highly
developed in the service. There was
not, it is said, n typewriting machine
in any office of the system.
One of the first orders issued by Mr..
Hays was for n force of stenographers
and typewriters, and an equipment of
machines for the entire system. But
the most revolutionary practice which
he CARVED into effect on the big Ca
madam road was the open door" pol.
icy. Not only did Mr.. Hays keep his
own door open to all who had legiti.
mate and important business, but he
also saw to it that the doors of the
officials under him were broadly open
to the public. Mr.. Hays is only forty
four years of age and was born in
Rock Island, Illinois.

BIG MASS MEETING AT TOPEKA
SAYS ALL SALOONS MUST GO

Topeka, Kans.. Feb. ia mass
meeting of the male citizens of Topeka,
yesterday afternoon. at which 5000
were present, decided that the numer-
IL joints of the city must go Mt once
Friday, February 18th, - o'clock noon,
Is named as the time when the cleans
ing of the city must be made complete.
If 1t is not done by that time. an army
of n thousand men will Immediately
move upon the joints and remove them
by force.
The meeting was remarkable in ev-
cry respect. 1t was called by n COM
mittee of the Law Enforcement League
and was attended by nearly all the
prominent business men of the city.
The only preliminary of the meet
ing was n prayer offered by the Rev.
f.. w. Emerson, who is Mrs. Nations
manager In her lecturing tour. After
n few short, snappy addresses. which
worked up the splendid body of men to
n high degree of enthusiasm, an ulti-
nahum was proposed N passed amid
the loudest cheering.
The jointists were warned in the fol-
lowing vigorous terms that Topeka did
not desire their presence any longer:
L those Illegally engaged in this
Illicit business, whether wholesale or
retail, we have Il say that the long

Upon the strict and literal observ-
ance of this command we shall insist:
and If it shall be .disregarded, we will
take whatever measures are necessary
for its rigid enforcement.
IF n long-outraged public shall be
compelled to resort to the fundamental
right of standardization against Grim

consequence to evil-doers which may
result from such a return must rest

When our republican friends want to
throw slurs at our correspondents, they
should confine themselves to the truth.
This item meyer appeared In the INDEX.
There is nothing in this except to pro-
tect our correspondents from over snx-
ious &. o. p. critics. The INDEx's con-
tributors are intelligent and get ND
good newsy matter. 1t seems impossi-
BILE for republican editors to be truth

INSULT TO INJURY.

1t is matter Of regret to be compel
led to renew comment on the fail.
ure Of the city administration to
properly recognize Decoration Day
but In justice to our old soldier friends
we yield space again this week. We
are requested by several old soldiers to
say that the Cresset's first paragraph
OF the article headed, "Old Soldiers
Well Pleased" is false. They say they
have taken the pains to learn to what
extent the business houses were closed
and they found that Capt. Hardy clos
cd his store about an hour. The Others,
they say, were not closed at all. The
reason assigned for not closing was the
absence of a proclamation advising
such action, and each merchant stated
that he did not close because the others
had not done so.
The old soldiers want to be plainly
understood in this matter. They were
well pleased with the turnout on Dec.
Grafton Day; they are thankful to those
who assisted in the exercises and they
are proud Of the interest manifested by
the public, but they feel that the mayor
erred in not using his influence to close
up the business houses at least q few
hours and encourage attendance at the
exercises. They feel that it is due
them that the city administration give
this day some official recognition.
But the greatest insult they have suf.
fered Is the Cresset's misrepresenta-
tions after they had entered complaint.
The Cresset knew the veterans were
dissatisfied and to come out boldly and
say all was satisfactory and all were
we'll pleased, Is almost equal to assail.
ing their personal integrity.
What the INDEX has said in this con-
nection was without Ill will toward
anybody, but our space is always ready
to state facts. We withhold names be.
cause we do not care to create personal
strife. We believe In fairness and jus.
tice and that is the reason We print the
Grand Army's side of it.

Two ball games were played here
