Another small item mentioned in the
report of the city clerk of Kansas City,
Kansas, has always attracted the atten-
tion OF both political parties and the same
has been nightmare to the tax payers
for it proves that the anti-election prom
ises made TO politicians have more weight
than promises made to taxpayers. and
illustrates that Mayor Craddock is more
faithful 10 his political friends and more
expensive to the taxpayers
Here is how he keeps his promises:
When he become mayor he found the
Republican police judge had another year
tenure of office. This position Mayor
Craddock had promised to a gold Demo-
crat, and the latters friends after the
election were pushing the mayor TO keep
the promise. There was but one way,
viz: 10 rid the Democratic police depart
ment of a Republican police judge. The
law would not permit a removal, and,
therefore the "reformer mayor con-
ceives the following plan: The city ordi-
nances of Kansas City, Kansas, had not
been compiled for a year About three
years ago. however, a silver Democrat
offered to compile the same for $500.
Mayor Craddock. however, in order to
carry out his promise made TO the gold
Democrat. made an offer to the Republi-
can police judge to compile the city ordi-
RANGES and agreed to pay him $3.50 for
such work, the amount offered being
more than the salary of the police judge
for the term of one year. The police
judge promptly accepted Mayor Grad
docks proposition, resigned as police
judge. and the gold Democrat was duly
chosen and appointed police judge. The
city ordinances were compiled at 81 500

Guthrie. o. T., July 26.-The semi-an-

AS TO SCRNnULES
-. II .GlL. En.InR

The State newspaper prints two
column editorial in regard to the new
schedule just inaugurated between
Charleston and the up.country by the
Southern. The State protests against
the change and notifies the Southern of
hostilities should the further change be
made so that persons and mail coming
from Charleston be permitted to make
connection at Columbia for Charlotte
instead of having to spend the
day in Columbia. A change of about
forty-fiive minutes will make this con-
nection. We do not see how this change
will hurt the business interests Of the
city of Columbia as The State argues.
Instead of leaving Charleston at II
o'clock at night you now leave there at
3.20 in the morning, and reach Column
bia at practically the same time. 1t is
true it puts the News and Courier in
the up-country at the same time with
The State giving it no advantage what
ever, in fact requiring it to go to press
three hours earlier than The State.
The point we desire to ask The State
is as to another schedule. for we know
The State is too brave and too manly to
have the Southern change its schedule
so rs to let it have the advantage in
time over lis competitor in fair and
open field, and the change already
made is favor to the travelling pub
lie and that is what the Southern is
looking out for. The State says: "Sev-
eral years ago the News and Courier in
some way induced the management Of
the Southern Railway to prepare a
schedule similar to that now put into
effect, and it would have been operated
but for our protest against the dscrim-
ination.' We do not see and did not
sec then the discrimination. We re-
member that schedule well. 1t had
been announced in all the papers and
was to go into effect very soon but it
was withdrawn. We did not Know who
had induced it, nor whose protest
Knocked it out. 1t would have been a
grca; schedule for this section, and of
material benefit to the business men of
Columbia, and the only discrimination
that we can see is, it would have put
the News and Courier in the up-coun-
try at the same time it put The State
here. The reason we liked the schcd-
ulc was, it gave us an early morning
train to Columbia and one out in the
afternoon, thus enabling the people Of
this section to go to Columbia, attend
to business and return the same day
This is the only section in the State
that cannot 20 to the capital and return
the same day. Such a schedule would
be Of benefit to the business interests
of Columbia, and we would like to see
such a schedule put in operation, and to
work against it is to work against the
business interests Of Columbia.

The State officials announce, so the
daily papers state, that there will be
no extension Of the time for paying

payers to bear this in mind and pay be-
fore the time expires. The farmers
are in about us good condition to pay
now as they will be next spring and we
can sec no good to them or any one
else in an extension.
