order in sending his check in addition
to the pass.
It is a fact that while there are
many members of the legislature who,
while they will not accept passes for
themselves personally, will listen to
the entreaties of constituents and Sc
cure passes for hungry people who
don't want to pay fare. A pass cuts
lot of ice with some constituents.
One well known senator who had
long refused to do anything in this
respect finally yielded to the persistent
and pitiful appeals of constituent and
secured pass for him. When he sand
ed it to him he said;
.Now, be sure, don't let any one see
that pass, as l don't want to be both
cred by other constituents.
The man promised to do as directed,
but when he met the senator again he
was much cast down.
Senator" hes aid, II had to let one
man see that pass. I got on the train
and when the conductor came along
he asked for my ticket. / told him
didn't have a ticket, that was rid
ing on pass. He asked to see it, and
refused, as I said / had been told
not to let any one see it. He got MAD
at me and said: Show me that pass
or you'll pay your fare or get off the
train and, Senator, l had to let him
see it, But he was the only one who
did see it,

in the week for members of the legis-
lature. Every second Thursday is pay
day, and furthermore every Thursday
trusted messenger goes about deliv-
ering little envelopes. But those en-
velopes didn't make their appearance
a week ago until late in the afternoon,
and then there were but few, AMI
there was much woe over the fact.
When the time to go away came and
the usual number of envelopes were
not in sight there were a number of
members who wanted to go home who
became almost frantic over the
thought of having to pay railroad fare.
Summoning messengers about them as
quickly as possible, they beat up the
town looking for the man who looked
after their welfare. They didn't find
him.
Some waited here until Friday, OK.
pecting to find him, but they didn't.
They even telegraphed him-at his
expense-about it, but it didn't do any
good.
And now there are some members
who are asking if it is really a per-
manent anti-pass crusade on the part
of Jerome.
Jerome will want some legislation,
and then maybe he'll not be so active
in meddling with things that don't
concern him." ruefully remarked q
member of the lower house.

WHERE sUNBEAMs NEVER DIE

There's place of regal beauty
Where the sunbeams never die,
Where the roses mount the trellis
Of the pillars to the sky.
There flow crystal streams and foun-
tains
Where the whitest lilies grow.
Tis my home-my sacred temple
On this common earth below
This vain world may laud its Ophir
With it's diadems of gold,
Yet the glory Of my dwelling
Human tongue hath never told.
Its foundations speak of Love,
While it's walls are all aglow,
With that Peace which crowns the
lilies.
A fair spirit dwells within it
With chaplet on her brow;
She uplifts a golden scepter
AS before her will / bow.
Her dear lips have touched the lilies
And her cheeks have caught the
glow
OF the roses on the trellis
Where the softest zephyrs blow
When my soul is torn and bleeding
With the f1erceness of life's fray,
And / turn my weary footsteps
To my sacred shrine to pray:
There my gracious queen awaits me
With her heart and soul aglow,
Bearing lilies wet with tear drops
From the crystal fountains flow.

additional revenues for the state treas
ury as whether the pass game has
been cut off permanently. In the words
of statesman the situation is thus:
Il tell you, if this keeps up an
other week or two there will be the
biggest kind of deficiency in the
pocketbooks of many members of the
legislature 1t costs me $500 to go to
and from New York, and that is lot
of money for me. 1t may result in
many members coming to the cOnclu-
sion that they have more urgent bust
ness in Albany than at home, and
thereby they will get even with the
railroads"
While it is known that there is such
a thing as a provision in the state
constitution which prohibits member
of the legislature from using pass,
still somehow or other members OF the
legislature have been seen on the rail
road trains with pieces of paper which
looked much like railroad passes. The
pass question has been one of great
Importance every year.
A few days ago a member from
New York city who was known as a
straightforward and honest man-at
least, he was always telling his friends
that he was and took every occasion TO
have that fact conveyed to the other
members of the egislature-received
a Pullman pass. One day the question
of Pullman passes came up and this
honest member resented the imputa-
ton that he had one.
mo, sir, / received pass from
the Pullman people, but never used
it, he said.
"What'd you do with it? Send it
back?" asked member who had no
scruples about accepting such emolu-
ments.
mo, not exactly that; I handed it
over to my clerk and he is using it.
l don't propose to let any corporation
say that it has ever granted me
favor" was the reply.
When the Pullman company wanted
to get a bill through the legislature
authorizing it to sell liquors on it's cars
there was apparently no opposition TO
it until it came up on the order of
final passage in the assembly. The
chairman of the assembly excise COM
mittee was dumbfounded at the dis
play of opposition that thereupon oc-
Cured.
what reason is there that this bill
should not pass?" he demanded.
There are $50 reasons why this bill
should not pass" spoke up the Hon.
Paddy Roche, then a member of the
lower house.
| The bill was laid over. A couple of
days later envelopes bearing the i'm
print of the Pullman company were
laid on the different desks. The bill
went through that day without a MUIR
muir of opposition to it.
Two years ago Assemblyman Lan-
don from Duchess county, whom Pres
ident Roosevelt has appointed to a
Berlin consulship, stirred up hor-
nets nest by asking the attorney gen
eral if he had right to accept Pc,.::
man pass. Mr. Landon found later
that it was very inexpedient thing
to do. Every one of his pet bills was
defeated or permitted to die in com
mittee.
That same year New York mem
Der received Pullman pass and trav
/ eled from New York to Albany on it.

MAKING THEIR WORD GOOD
IMPROVEMENTS AT RAILROAD
CARRIED OUT As REPORTED.
FITty-Ffve Greeks Brought Here TO
Do Construction Work I'm the
GOOdIand Yards.

Two weeks ago this paper reported
that extensive improvements would
be made at the Rock Islands railroad
works here. Several railroad officials
were authority for the statement
made, and already work has begun,
and some parts Of the Improvement
has already been completed. The
changes to make room for the increas-
ed force in the dispatchers' Office are
nearly complete. The concrete cop
ing for the new and wider walks is
being put in, and the plank walks viii
be displaced with either vitrified brick
or concrete. The hotel and depot
buildings have been reprinted, and
the repair OF the cOmpany's property
is evident in many places.
The two supply and material stores
will be consolidated under one man
agement, and the stock largely in
creased. 1t may be that large two
story building viii be erected and the
material put under the one roof. The
change in the supply department will
simplify the bookkeeping and the ac-
counting for stores. as il has hereto
fore been more complex and fringed
with a little Of red tape. GOodland
is a distributing point for various
kinds OF material on this division
Fifty-five Greeks arrived in Good
land Tuesday from Kansas City to
work on the yards here. The regular
force is only six men, and these extra
are being put to work en-
larging the railroad yards and rails
ing the track about a foot Besides
the tracks now in use, two long sid
ings will be constructed.

Will Sell His Grain, Cattle, ImpIe-
ments, Etc, and Move to Town.
John W. Bruner recently sold his
section OF land about FIVE miles south
east OF GOodland to J. A Tuition Of
Washington, Kan, at SO per acre
The sale was negotiated through N.
Robinson, real estate dealer OF this
city.
His reason for selling was his own
and his wife's ages. He is pretty
well along in years, and his sons did
not want to remain with him on the
farm, preferring to strike out for
themselves. Therefore, he concluded
20 retire and live quietly in GOOdland.
The $40 acres was cut down to 634
0y the railroad right Of way.-He re-
ceived $3.50 for his farm This
week he threshed and sold 5000
bushels Of grain He has a fine crop
II corn left and his stock, horses, cat
tie and farm utensils, will bring in
several hundred dollars Presumably
the amount he Will realize from all
these sources will reach about S1O,
600.
Mr.. Bruner is one Of the old set
tiers here and has stayed through all
iiscOuraging circumstances. His mod
crate pension helped out in the hard
times These few facts show how Il
pays to stay with western Kansas, as
ne stayed through the smoke OF bat
lie for his country. It forms a good
object lesson and the meaning is plain

Quite a furry was created by news

riots in Toxic, japan, against the gov
eminent on account Of the terms Of
the peace treaty and the waving Of
indemnity, etc Ten christian churches
were reported burned and the Amerf-

been exaggerated, as the following
dispatch indicates:
OYSTER BAY, L l., Sept. IA
definite resume Of the conditions in
Toxic is given in a cabIegram from
Minister GriscOm to the secretary Of
state, which was transmitted today
10 President Roosevelt The cable
gram was as follows:

lenCe to q few foreigners and the at
taCls on Christian churches reported
in my previous kilograms should not
De considered to indicate any general
anti-fOreign or anti-Christian feeling.
The former was quite incidental and
the latter due TO sporadic antagonism
to the Russian church and some na-
tive Christians The mob offered to
spare one American church il the
minister could show an American
dag; unfortunately he could not.
Newspapers have during many months
raised popular expectation so high
that intense dissatisfaction with the
