The criticisms in several issues of the Gar
nett Journal of recent dates, by Taxpayer"
of Colony, referring to the county commission
ers' official acts, are quite uncalled for. He
says he is old-fashioned 1t is not necessary
for him to make such statement as he had
otherwise assured us of that fact. Had he ex.
am:ned the county records he would have
learned that the previous board left good
many thousand dollars of warrants outstanding
for courthouse yard grading, which present
board is rapidly paying off. The bridge fund
was several hundred dollars less than nothing.
good deal of bridge work has been done and
paid for, and the fund is now in good condition.
Interest on various bonds is regularly paid.
The extra pay for under sheriff and truant off,
GERS salary, extra cost of keeping court house
in order over that of the old building, are some
If the expenses the previous board did not
have to pay, and only for the CAREFUL and con-
sentative manner in which the county's bust
ness is at present conducted, believe our taxes
would be considerably higher.
Uncalled-for criticism, either direct or covert,
lowers the character of the party making such
in the estimation of the people. and in the case
here referred to, no impartial reader can discern
any pure motives. Vicious and ungentlemanly
attacks on the character and actions of public
officials in many instances creates distrust in
the mind of the people, often retardiug the ad,

HEARSTS SLAP AT THE COAL ROADS.

On the 23d inst, Congressman William Kan
dolph Hearst filed with Attorney-General Knox
a complaint alleging that combination OF the
Philadelphia & Reading railroad and the Cen
trail Railroad of New Jersey, under common
management, has stiAed competition, and pet-
tioning the department of justice to proceed
against them under the Sherman antitrust law.
The complaint asks that the action be taken to
restrain the Reading company from owning,
holding or voting upon the stock OF the Central
and decreeing that the stock be returned 10 us
lawful owners. The complaint alleges that in
January, 1901 to build up monopoly IN the
anthracite coal business by vestlng control OF
more than 60 per cent of. all the available un-
mined coal under one management, and TO place
competing roads under one CONTROL there were
transferred to tie Reading $4,000 shares OF
the total of 272,I3S shares of capital stock OF
the Central. Since then, the complaint alleges,
George F. Baer has been in executive control
of the Reading company, Philadelphia Y Kead,
ing railroad, Philadelphia & Reading Coal ana
Iron Company, Central Railroad of New Jersey
and the Lenieh & Wilkesbarre Coal Company,
and the price of anthracite coal, free on board
at tidewater, has advanced to the extortionate
price of IS ton. co..
This is the reason why the monopolistic pa
pets of both the Democrat and Republican par
ties are fighting Hearst. He is giving the
trusts lot of trouble and their nouth'pieces
in both old parties are determined to crush MIN
if possible. They have big Job OH hand.

almost every item in their bill of offset, for, be-
ing heavy articles, such as half beef, cook
stove, and so on, assistance was needed in their
delivery.
After the examination of the witnesses, the
case was given to the jury. In few minutes,
the Jury returned with their verdict. The wife
of the plaintiff was in the room. The justice
asked the Jury if they had agreed upon ver-
dict, when the foreman handed up to the just
ice the verdict, which he read: owe, the jury
in the case now pending between ---- and
--, find for the defendants in the sum of
fifty EIGHT dollars and COSTS"
For moment there was absolute sienc, and
then the wife broke down, weeping. She knew
the verdict was not just 1t was in harmony
with the law and the evidence, but she knew it
worked upon them wrong. She knew what
they really owed and to add forty dollars to
that, and then the costs, was the weight that
exhausted her patience.
All parties lett for home, but the defendants
were not again summoned to appear. The
two non suits, the services of constable in SUM-
moning the Jury of twelve aud the fees of the
constable and Justice and the jury fees ran the
costs up to more than forty dollars
The plaintiff owed eighteen dollars He
would not settle. He cast the die on settle
ment by bogus laws. He got it.
A few days afterward, all the parties met OH
the highway and stopped. The defendants
then told the plaintiff that he knew he honest
ly owed eighteen dollars; that Judgment was
rendered according to law, and that they could
collect it, but they had no thought or purpose
of distressing him. that if he would 60 to the
Justice and pay, or make arrangements to pay,
the costs, one of them would 60 over and re-
ceipt the docket and stop any further proceed
ings right then. He jumped at the offer, and
said, on do it," And thus ended one of
those petty little cases which often grow into
life troubles. His wife was grand, good wo-
man, but he was too contrary to do anything
until he could go no further.
All parties save oue-men and women--are
now dead and there is no other record than
this, unless the old docket is yet in existence.

vancement of the public good, and possibly
placing premium on dishonesty. People are
generally more interested in the efficiency Of
the public service than in the adva1cement of
the officials. 1t is, therefore, the duty Of all
citizens to aid the public servant in every hon.
orable way. BY following an opposite course,
the best class of citizens will have little, if any,
encouragement to assist in the management Of
public affairs
From the tone OF Taxpayers" commuuica-
tons, doubtless there is an official bee buzzng
in his bonnet, and he wishes TO make the i'm
preston on the public that he is very solicitous
as to the welfare of this county. But tie citi-
zens of Colony and SUI. ounGug distrfc' are too
intelligent to be hoodwinked in any such man
ner, and he will be duly notified of such at the
primaries next fall.

GIRL STUDENT ROUGHLY HANDLED.

MADISON, WIS, April 22.-Dragged from
sick-bed tossed in blanket and suspended
prisoner for several hours to the beams OF
dormitory attic in Chadbourne hall, Miss Isabel
M. Menzies, of GAINESVILLE, Wis, is now danger
ously i'll. Ten athletic young goods of the
University of Wisconsin, her assailants, are
under investigation by the faculty, and are in
danger of expulsion. Press dispatch.
State universities and colleges are rapidly
drifting into hotbeds of rowdyism There is
scarcely college of any prominence IN this
country that has not had one or more OF such
exhibitions of brutality in the past few years.
Students participating in such acts of lawless-
ness ought to be promptly expelled. Such con-
duct is disgrace to the university or college
where it occurs, and if the offenders are not
severely punished, the college ought to be
closed or placed under control of officers who
have high regard for good order and common
decenCY.

A MAN who receives property that he knows
has been stolen, and converts the same to his
own use, is no better than the thief; and when
Bowersock received thirtytwo votes from Wy
andotte comfy, knowing that they were stolen,
he, at once was no better than the men who
stole them And this was done by the "boss-
bosters," the "antimachne' forces, in tue
name OF reform. God pity Kansas if she is to
be ruled by such reformers.

[Continued from first page

Don't lose pa,ience-the panic will come all
RIGHT. and there will be the greatest sights for
the least money since America was discovered
by Columbus. Possibly the panic will come to
down some man who is uniriendly to the Wall
street captains of Commence, piety and hon
esty." The panic hand is too sure winner to
play till there is big stake. 1t won't be
played this year. There will be no enemies in
the field for presidential honors that is feared
by the captains. Both old parties have their
hooks baited for Wall street fish. Wall street
is managing both campaign committees, and
the pous men are already in possession of the
temples of justice, and a small per cent OF the
swag will control congress.
But the end is not yet. 1t is not certain that
Gould went to heaven, or that Rockefeller is
not too heavy for high flying. No present but
is connected with future.

If the judge in Wyandotte county was justi-
fed under the law in turning loose the boodlers
of Kansas City, Kas., then the attorney general
of the state was ignorant of the law, and is not
fit to be attorney general. If the Judge is at
fault he is not fit to be Judge. Either the
Judge or the attorney general is to blame. There
seems to be but little desire among officials in
Kansas to punish boodle1s But this is not
strange, especially in Kansas City, Kas., where
the city officials are openly in league with vio'
lators of the law What Kansas needs is a

HEARST is charged with being muti-mil-
lionaire. We guess it is true. Cleveland, Hill
and Belmont who have put court-plaster over
Parker's mouth, and are now pressing him to
the front as a presidential candidate, are also
millionaires. The difference between Hearst
and the other fellows is that he uses his wealth
for the benefit of the common people, while
thew use theirs for the benefit OF Wall street.

THE Standard Oil Company is laying pipe
lines from the Kansas gas and oil fields to Kan
sas City, where the company is building big
oil refinery. The gas will be sold to Kansas
City manufac urers. Thus will Kansas City be
built up at the expense of Kansas towns. A
vigorous kick was registered by some of towns
in the gas belt, and an effort was made to have
Attorney General Coleman interfere IN the mat
ter. But Mr.. Colemon said he could find no
luw that would help the people of the state to
keep what justly belongs to them. So the
Standard Oil thieves can 60 right ahead rob-
bling the people in spite of themselves. "The
people be damned is the Standard Oil Compa-
ny's motto The people have no rights that
this devil-fsh Is bound to respect. Suppose
the public owned the oil and gas. Do you sup
pose Kansas City would be built up at the ex-
pense of other localities?s Not bit OF it.
Factories would be built where the gas is pro-
duced and the towns would thrive and prosper.
The people will learn, some day, that govern
ment ownership is the only plan by which the
people con protect themselves.
