sro0KMEN ARE CONFIDENT.
Do Not Think Anti Pass Rule Will
Be Enforced

Western live stock shippers are much
put out over the action of the executive
officers of the western roads, abolishing
the practice of issuing free transporta-
ton to the men taking live stock ship
ments to the markets They are max
ing strong efforts to have the action re-
scinded.
The opinion is that the new agreement
will not be carried out, as there are al
ways some roads which will court ia
vor with the shippers and if one or two
break the agreement and grant free re-
turn transportation to stockmen the
other roads will not be slow to follow.
One prominent live stock shipper says:
Il cannot believe that the big rail-
roads of the west will carry out any
such arrangement. When they have had
time to reflect they must conclude that
a ruling of this kind will result in loss
rather than profit to the roads. The in
ducements for shippers TO make a short
haul to avoid paying railroad fare in
freight business would in most cases
leave a balance on the wrong side for
the roads when final results were fgur
ed
Another reason why the new agree
ment is not likely to stand is that the
state of Missouri, through which great
deal of the live stock to the east passes,
enacted a law year or two ago max
ing it obligatory upon the railroads to
give free return transportation to live
stock shippers. The railroads claim the
Missouri law is invalid. it conflicts
with the interstate commerce law, but
few of them show any inclination to
fight out the matter in the courts.

{ dorado Railroads Are 0onfiscating
Coal from Everybody.

Glenwood Springs, Colo, Nov. 12.-
Whether or not the railroads believe
that the coal strike will be a long one,
it is evident that they are making pre-
parations to be on the safe side. For
some time past the Denver and Rio
Grande have been stacking up coal in
its West Glenwood yards, and has on
hand a supply ample to keep the coal
chute at that place running for prob
ably a month.
Local shippers state that of late all
shipments sent out by them are being
confiscated by the railroads. Last week
a shipment of six cars from the CoryelI
mine at Newcastle was confiscated by
the Rio Grande and was unloaded here.
The South Canon mines are also COM
planning that the Midland is taking its
coal shipments, and persons filing or
ders are being warned that they are
subject to seizure by the railroad.
A complaint made the other day by
Manager Englee of the South Canon
company to the Midland freight Off
Gals, to the effect that he would hold
them for their coal at good price met
the response that the company regret
ted the necessity of it's action, and
would pay the price asked.

USE SANTA FE TRACKS
Now Road Gains an Easy Entrance to
Dallas, Tex.

Dallas, Tex, Nov. 1.-THE problem
of International and Great Northern
entrance to Dallas may have been
solved. 1t has been rumored that the
road has at last arranged an entrance,
though no official confirmation Of the
rumor can be had
According to this rumor the Interna-
tional and Great Northern purposes to
enter Dallas at an early date via the
Santa Fe tracks from Venus, and will
use the Santa F'e depot here.
For months past people have been
specializing upon the entrance of this
road, and have in many cases grown
to believe that there were too many
snags in it's way to permit of its reach
ing Dallas, at least this year.
If there be any truth in this rumor
there is no necessity for delay and the
matter of entrance date will be entirely
in the hands Of the officers of the two
roads, with very little trouble from a
physical standpoint.

DONALD REMARKS.
Comments on Silly Fake About Kan
sas Schools.


sas Schools
John Macdonald, editor of the West
ern School Journal, makes a few COM
ments in his paper this month concerning
the newspaper fake that went the
rounds of the eastern newspapers a. few
weeks ago, stating that the women of
Kansas had organized a secret cam
paign to capture control of the annual
school meetings in Kansas while the
men were in the harvest fields, and had
elected women as school officers on the
issue of doing away with the alleged
provision of school contracts prohibiting
teachers from being courted.
It seems that this story has even been
taken seriously by. some of the educa-
tlonal papers Of the east, and this is
what calls forth Mr.. MacDonalds re-
marks. He says:
The unquestioning faith of our east
ern brethren in newspaper stories fills
us with mirthful emotion, and adds
years to our life. Listen to our credu-
lous brother, the editor of the PennsyI-
vania School Journal:
" The state of Kansas has had a sur
prise. The women of this great
state have elected a majority of the
members of the school boards in the
1000 school districts
Kansas has nearly 5000 school dis
tricts; but let that paSs-it is purely in
cidental. Silence again. and listen:
" The platform on which the women
conducted their campaign for control
of the schools was kept a secret until
the day of balloting. It declared for
wiping out the Objectionable provisions
of the teachers contracts, which forbid
the women teachers TO receive atten-
tions and calls from their gentlemen ad-
nirers during their term of school, and
provide for forfeiture of a portion of
their salaries if the women marry be.
fore the end of their terms,'
For lack of time but one ex-
clamation point. Our Pennsylvania
brother again has the floor:
The campaign which the women con-
Quoted for control of the schools was one
of the most secret in the history of the
state.
1t was, indeed. brother: even now our
eyes are blinded that we can not seel
When it became known three months
ago, that the country school boards, which
were then controlled by men and stin
are, Brother Schaeffer or McCaskey.

And after that. the men being absorbed
in the harvest field. the women, by

French friends term it. suddenly marched
out of their ambush down on the school
meetings of the state. and captured them

boards leaves the teacher free to receive
calls from gentlemen friends and to get

Our respected friends of the Pennsylva-

ton. We recommend that they take

Nine cases of consumption out of ten

treatment that is Intellectual. and the
cold continues.
Then they catch another cold and be-

syrups, but they do no good.
By and by they get tired of taking
medicine, and give up in despair.
