Taking Desperate Chances.

1t is true that many contract colds
and recover from them without taking
any precaution or treatment, and a
knowledge of this fact leads others to
take their chances instead of giving
their colds the needed attention. 1t
should be borne in mind that every
cold weakens the lungs, lowers the vi
tally, makes the system less able TO
withstand each succeeding cold and
paves the way for more serious dis
eases. Can you afford to take such
desperate chances when Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy, famous for it's cures
of colds, can be had for trille? For

Everybody Reads the State Journal
The Present Status of the Municipal Ownership Scheme;
Flourisng and of Great Interest American

it is evident from the Chicago election
and other equally suggestive indica
lions that it is under way. The most
that has been accomplished is in the
construction OF difficult and expensive
factors in transportation like bridges,
the Boston subway and the tunnels for
the New York underground system
There are several American cities that
have been agitating the question in
manner which means positive action in
the near future and it has become
leading feature in municipal party plat
forms. One of the most potent argu-
ments heard at local political gather
ings is the declaration that wherever
tried municipal ownership has proved
successful This has been made mani
fest by increased facilities and better
service. There has never been any
complaint from the travelling public
that transportation lines controlled by
city governments were less solicitous
for the comfort of patrons than those
managed by private interests. On the
contrary, say the municipal ownership
advocates, there is much evidence to
prove that the service has improved
greatly since they came under direc-
ton of the cities. In Great Britain the
craze for municipal control has not
stopped at transportation facilities.
More than 200 towns have their own
water supply, and fully that number
are dealers in illuminants. There is
not a single one among these enterpris-
ing municipalities that has not derived
a profit from the undertaking. In al
most every instance, too, the rate to
the public has been materially reduced,
! in some cases fully one-half. In some
localities the principle has been utilized
to the extreme. In Glasgow, for exam
pie. the list of articles now supplied by
the municipality includes many things
which are more luxurious than neces-
sary. In that Scotch metropolis the
city has assumed control of the pawn
shops, and the effect, both moral and
economic, is declared to be beneficial
There is a municipal golf links, which
has proved to be an immense success

cation made to it by respondent for per-
mission to transact business here.'
In speaking of the defense of the gas
company, wherein it asks that the court
by mandamus compel the charter board
to issue to it a license to do business
in Kansas, it having complied with ali
the requirements of the statute, the
court said:
Counsel for respondent call to their
aid the equitable doctrine requiring
court to look upon that as done which
ought to be done. In effect they ask
US to sit in review of the adverse ruling
of the charter board and to hear and
decide de novo the application of their
client for leave to transact business in
this state. An assumption of such pow
er would overturn the clearly expressed
intention of the legislature which is to
vest in the charter board instead of a.
court the right to decide the very Ques-
lions we are urged to determine.
1.-The proceeding brought against re-
spOndent in this case is collateral to the
proceeding before the charter board. To
this proceeding the latter is not and
cannot be made a party, therefore the
court cannot sit in judgment on the
action of the charter board in refusing
respondents application. Suppose it
were to do so. Its judgment could not
be in the form of mandamus to the
charter board requiring the issuance Of
a license or permit to respondent but
cOulu Ohly OS IIdt inc Cidl lcA DOoAo
should have granted the application. That,
however, would not be the granting of
the application by the tribunal in which
the authority to make such grant re-
sides. Respondent would still be with
out license or permit to do business. y
It is evident from this decision that
even if the Kansas Natural Gas COM
pany should bring a mandamus suit to
compel the charter board to grant it's
application for charter or license to
do business in the state, the result
would be the same. The court might
hold that the charter board should
grant the charter, but it has no authori-
ty to compel the charter board to act.
The only thing the Kansas Natural
Gas company has to hope for is re-
versal of the decision by the charter
board itself. This might be accomplish
ed now, since John @. Royce has taken
his place on the charter board

STONES ON THE TRACK
Somebody Tried to Wreck the q. p.
Overland Limited.


Laramie, Wyo-. July An attempt
was made at $50 o'clock this morn
ing near Buford to wreck passenger
train No. 1, the westbound overland
limited, on the Union Pacific. ONLY
the watchfulness of the engineer and
fireman. both of whom saw an OBJ
struction on the track at the same
time, and prompt action on the part of
the former in applying the air brakes,
prevented a disaster. AS it was. the
! flyer was stopped just as the nose of
the pilot touched the obstruction
which consisted of ties, big stones and
old timbers.
Laramie, Wyoming, July 7.-Af-
ter the track was cleared, the
train proceeded slowly, reaching Lar
annie at four o'clock. Posses were
quickly formed and went to the scene
of the crime, where eight tramps were
| arrested. None of these men could
give a satisfactory explanation as to
their whereabouts when the train
passed Buford. They had been elect
| ed from an eastbound freight train
| yesterday afternoon and two of them,
| it is said, then declared that they
would "get even"
The limited was bowling along at
| forty-five miles an hour when the en-
CINE crew first discovered the obstruc-
| ton by the glare of the headlight. The
air brakes were applied so hard that
the shock was sufficient to unseat
several passengers in the smoking car
and the express messengers and
| baggagemen were thrown from their
feet. Nearly a ton of coal in the ten
der was hurled into the engine cab
| by the jar.

1T MUST Get OUT.
Kansas Natural Gas Company
Gets Body Blow.
Has No Right to Pipe Gas or Do
Anything Else.
TO CHARTER BOARD.
That Is Where Company Must
Look for Relief.
Court Has No Power to Compel
Board to Act.
May Mean That Topeka Won't
Get Natural Gas.

Under the decision of the supreme
court rendered this morning, there
viii be no natural gas taken out
of the Kansas gas fields, and the KAN
built a pipe line and is already pip
ing gas from the gas fields to Kansas
City, Ottawa and other points, must
quit business and leave the state.
The writ of custer asked for by the
Kansas Gas Protective association is
Kansas Natural Gas company to do
but pull up its pipes and leave.
The result of this decision may be
that there will never be any natural
gas sold in Topeka, and that the Elk
celsior Coke and Gas company will
continue to supply the manufactured
article under the terms of their new
franchise.
The Kansas Natural Gas, Oil and
Pipe Line company, against which the
suit was brought. is a Delaware cor
pOration,. and when it applied to the
Kansas charter board for permission
to do business in this state, that board
denied the application. However, the
company went ahead laying its pipes
and contracting to deliver gas to many
acted, the attorney general, in the
name of the state, brought this pro-
ceeding in quo Warranto against the
company, asking that it be required to

1t be ousted from the state. The COM
pany answered, setting forth it's APP
plication to the charter board, and al
leging that it had done all things re-
Quired by the statute. and asked that
the charter board be ordered to
grant them a license. A demurrer to
this answer was filed and it was
agreed that a final judgment should
be entered in accordance with the
ruling of the court upon this demur-
rer. The court sustained the demur-
rer. and entered a judgment of custer
against the gas company, all of which
will have a tendency to cause the de-
PENDANT to quit business very
promptly.
The opinion of the court was de-
Iivered by Justice Greene, all of the
justices concurring. The first para
graph of the syllabus reads as fol-
lows:
In proceeding in the nature of quo
warranto, brought by the state to Dust

of corporate franchises in this state,
