FROM MIR. SHANKLE.
He Gives His Side Of the Assault
Upon Him.

To the Editor of the State Journal:
Who are the anarchists? I simply
ask the questions. Let some one else
answer them. I said on the street. just
before I was mobbed for making a
speech on public ownership or social
ism. What is the purpose of govern
ment?" Is it not com bination of the
whole people for the purpose of secur-
ing or protecting each individual in his
rights and opportunities to life, liberty
and happiness? He has the right, but
that is worth nothing without the OPP
portunity. The trust is in business for
profit. That is the purpose of its ex-
istence under a profit system.
The true purpose of labor or industry
should be to supply the needs of the
people by their labor. Only the govern
ment or all the people can conduct
business to supply needs instead of for
profit. The trust is in it for profit All
the people could make no profit off
themselves.
I tried to get the man arrested who
assaulted me with blows on the head,
curses and bad names in the open
street without resistance from me /
failed to get a warrant issued and was
answered at the police station by
Not from you; you get out of here.
] also tried at the city court and was
refused on the ground that they left
such cases to the police court At the
city attorneys office my greeting was,
7 don't believe I'll give you a war
i
ieve in government and law. observed
and executed. Every socialist believes
in government more than those who
would not trust the government with
the industries of the country. L never
said government ought to be in hell,
as accused. I believe in government.
I believe people should get justice at
the law, not with their fists or weapons.
If ever get justice or protection
from the government, I shall still advo-
cate government-only the more when
of anarchy or the absence of govern
mental protection. I have no desire to
hurt anybody I would not treat my
assaiIant as he treated me Under any
circumstances can conceive of,
would still stand for law and order. To
refuse a citizen a fair trial is the worst
anarchy. A stroke at free speech is a
trary disregard Of law is the rankest
anarchy-who are the anarchists in To-
peka? E. A SHANKLE.

engagements equal those of any passen-

construction was decided upon because
of the cost Of stone in a. prairie country
and the obstacles to obtaining the right
quality of brick. The walls were built
upon the foundation in wooden forms
which held them until the concrete set.

POUNDS a NEW SCIENCE.
Prof s. r. Cherry, a Kansas Man. Is
the Originator Of Otyognomy.

Kansas has a new science 1t is call
ed "Gtyognomy" and its exponent and
founder is Prof. s. T. Cherry of Par
sons, Kansas, and he has written
book to advance his new cult
In the Introduction to his book Pro-
lessor Cherry says that "otyognomy'
is derived from the Greek words which
signify ITO know the ear" therefore the
new science is to read character from
the ear
Prof. Cherry thinks that his system
may be used to supplement the Bertil-
lon system of Identifying and detecting
criminals. He says that any one may
know a persons character accurately
by a careful study Of the ear and he
makes out = pretty good case in his
book which is filled with plates and
illustrations to prove his points.
Prof Cherry says that he discovered
the new science by travelling and tax
ing notice Of people on trains. He be-
gan to study traits of character and
says he found that the ear was in every
case an accurate index Of the character
and this led to the new science and the
book which he has published to ex-
empIfy il. The book also is called
"OtyOgnomy."

WHY HAYS FELL.
Tried to Run the Southern Pacific
Without Help Of Politicians


1t appears. says the Denver News,
that there is something more than the
appointment of Stubs as general traf-
fic manager of all the Hartman lines
back of the resignation Of President
HAYS of the Southern Pacific. Mr.
Hays started in to divorce the road
from politics. He discharged a -'po-
ltical boss" in Nevada. and the roads
assessments We're Immediately IN
creased. He cut off number of pO-
htical barnacles in California, and as a
consequence this class of statesmen
found themselves facing starvation.
The whole tribe of political blood
suckers took alarm. II the Hays pou-
CIV became permanent a prolific source
of income would be cut off Diplomatic
representativ got around Mr.. Harri-
man and convinced him that If would
be better policy TO stay in politics. and
this was a prominent factor in int1u-
encing Mr.. Hays to resign
Mr.. Hays was right in his position
The case of the Nevada official is a ty
pical one. If the assessment of the
road was too low while this official was
carried on the company's pay rolls,
then the fact Is that in return for a
position useless to the company he
defrauded the taxpayers Of the state
If on his removal the increased assess
ment exacted too high taxes from the
company. then for personal and pOlitl-
cal revenge the company is being
blackmailed- Put it either way. pub
lie crime is being committed to which
the Nevada official and the Southern
Pacific are the parties at guilt. Mr..
HAYS was evidently Of the opinion that
in taking the road out of politics he
was performing a service for the com
pany. no matter what happened in the
matter of increased taxation so he
was. beyond all question, and the pub
lie would be the gamer also. 1t is ex-
pensive for corporations to be in poll
tics. for it means all forms Of black
mail by gangs of political pirates and
the curses of the public as we'll

BUFFALO ctr RATES.
Wabash Thorn In the Flesh of the
Rate Fixers.

Chicago. Sept 11;-ComPet Of the
Wabash railroad deny that they have
been cutting rates on eastbound passen-
ger business from Kansas City. On the
contrary, they claim that it is the Wa
bash that has violated Arbitrator Martin 5
ruling as regards differential rates.
Mr.. Martin ruled that the Wabash was
entitled to differential rates on It's ordi-
nary trains from Kansas City TO Buffalo,
but that it must charge regular standard
rates on its fast train. Tt is now charged
that some tickets have been sold at differ
entail rates by rle Wabash's fast train
since the ruling was made.
The matter was thoroughly discussed at
the meeting of the Western Passenger as
sociation held in this city a day or two
ago, and the conclusion was reached that
the trouble was due to the lack of rules
to prevent the manipulation Of tickets.
and that some action should be taken to
protect tickets sold at points west of the
Missouri river at differ9ntia1 rates. A
committee was appointed of representa-
tiveS of the CshicagO-St- LOuiS-NansaS
City lines to meet with the transit Missouri
lines to consider measures for protecting
tickets sold west of the river over roads
running east from Kansas City. The
meeting will probably be held the latter
part Of this week.
