to pay a ss-cent rate on lumber when
10 or IS years ago the rate was only p
cents
Now why should Jewell man ask
such questions as that? If he is able
to build a new house-or borrow the
money to build it-he ought to pay his
freight bills without a murmur and not
ask embarrassing questions about mat
tiers that he cannot understand even af-
ter they are explained to him There is
more lumber to be hauled nowadays
than there was 10 or Is years ago and
of course it costs more to haul it. The
Jewell man may think this ought to
lessen the rate per hundred pounds, but
there are good many things he doesn't
know about.
Here is another thing that this jew
ell editor wants to know about.
why is it that the railroads carry
Colorado coal clear through the state
and lay it down in Kansas City cheap
er by a dollar a ton than they will
leave it just over the Colorado line in
Kansas, or at any stations between here
and there? The people of central Kan
sas would be pleased to know how 1t
comes that freights from the west are
charged, not according to the distance
of the haul. but according to the dis
lance from the mine to Kansas City
and then back to the point of delivery.
It is a fact that the nearer a Kansas
town is to a mountain of coal the
higher the freight on coal from that
mine, as it is all figured to Kansas
City and then back to the place of de-
livery"
The Jewell man evidently has had
some explanation made to him about
this matter, but he, in his density, has
missed the force of the argument. He
gives his readers the benefit of it, how
ever. This is done, we are told he
says, ito protect certain eastern mine
interests and pull that much more
money out of western Kansas"
This Jewell editor evidently does not
take much stock in the argument that
maximum freight rates fixed by state
are always '.confiscatory." And if they
are he thinks the confiscation argument
works both ways. He says:
whenever there is talk Of maxi
mum rate law, the railroads say it is
equal to the confiscation of their pro-
perty. Well, whose property is being
confiscated by the unjust and arbitrary
rates the railroads have fixed on this
part Of Kansas during the past 80
years, and would it be any more than
fair to let the railroads see for awhile
how it feels to have ones property con-
hscated?'
Pishl Tush! What impertinence!

ANOTHER TERM FOR ROosE-


Some warm admirers of President
Roosevelt have started a boom for his
denomination for the presidency in 1908,
despite his declaration that he will not
ask for a denomination. And also in
spite of that declaration, the possibility
Of his election to another term in the
White House is being seriously discuss
ed.
1t is a little early to tell with any
degree of assurance what will happen
in 1908. In this strenuous age a great
many things may happen before the po-
hticaI conventions of 1903 are held. Yet
in the life of a nation three years is a
very short time and statesmen must
plan ahead for a much longer period
than that.
Therefore the speculation concerning
another term for Roosevelt It is not
at all impossible that there will be
popular demand among the rank and
file of the Republican party that Presi-
dent Roosevelt run again in spite of his
declaration against it. There is not an
other man in public life who is as pop
ular with the people as he, and there is
not likely to be one IN the next three
years. 1t is probable that the Demo-
Gratis will put up a western man for
the presidency in 1908, and the Repub-
leans viii also want a candidate who
can pull a heavy western vote. Not an
other man can do that as Roosevelt
can. Neither Fairbanks nor Foraker,
nor any OF the others thus far men
toned, is strong in the west to any
marked degree. Uncle Joe" Cannon is
probably more after the style which the
west admires than is any man in the
United States senate, but even he could
not pull the vote in the west like Roose-
welt.
The decisive defeat given eastern De
mocracy last fall makes it practically
certain that the gold wing Of the Dem
ocratic party will not control in the
next campaign. The Democratic nomi-
nee is likely to be some such man as
Governor Folk of Missouri. Folk would
be a strong presidential candidate not
only in the west, but in the east as
well. provided. of course, he makes
good" as governor OF Missouri.
1t may be that there will be a popu-
lar demand within the Republican par
ty that Theodore Roosevelt again be its
standard bearer in 1908 in order to make
victory certain In that case President
Roosevelt might find it very difficult to
refuse to heed the call-particularly if
he deemed it necessary to carry to a
successful conclusion the policies and
measures which he is now inaugural
ing.
Roosevelt would nevertheless refuse,
for he meant what he said when he
stated on election night, after his vic
tory was assured, that he would not be
a candidate four years hence for what
he plainly regarded as q third term. The
Republicans might as well do other fig
uring, for Roosevelt, idolized, is Roose-
welt invincible.

THE ENJoINER AND HIS M
JUNCTION.

Nearly every enterprise that is
passed upon favorably by a majority
Of the people Of Topeka is met with
an Injunction.
The last EFFORT of the croaker and
the man who is disgruntled is to en-
join some progressive step.
When the effort was first made to
pave the streets of Topeka the most
conspicuous opponent was the en-
Joiner.
When it was determined to build an
auditorium, the few opposed to it
made a big noise about an injunction.
The enjoiner Of these and other en-
terprises has as a rule finally been
suppressed but he often makes a great
fuss. causes fnnumerable and exasper-
ating delays and expense and litiga-
ton.
Now that Topeka has decided to
push an electric interurban line into
new territory the enjoiner is sticking
up his head. One of these enjoiners,
a prominent man who ought to keep
EuCA lax TO nlllEGAL IN feelings OF AAAlS
nature, says: Il am surprised that the
proposition carried I don't believe
the petition is technically legal. be-
ieve an injunction would hold. I
don't think much of it.
Isn't that pretty narrow. doleful,
way to talk about an enterprise which
has now been passed upon favorably
and which seems to be almost univer-
sally desired by the commercial inter-
ests of the town? It is often easier to
raise the money than to rae the
croaker. A little opposition makes
more noise than a large following.
It is a good indication that there is
less knocking in Topeka than former
". We must pull together. A man
who viii not work in the traces ought
not to hang on to the tail board. In
connection with this interurban line it
is well to beware of the enjoiner and
if he will not stand aloof. make him
stand apart and mark him as one op-
posed to the growth favored by a MAJ
jority Of his fellows.

It is one of the ironies of circum-
stances that bibulous citizens Of Kan
sas City in rum-soaked Missouri have
to emigrate to Kansas City in prohibi-

Stake their thirst on the Sabbath day.
The new police commissioners in the
larger Kansas City have decided to en-
force the closing of the saloons on Sun
day, and last Sunday was the first day
that the order went into effect. 1t is
asserted that there was a continuous
stream of thirsty people coming across
into Kansas, and that the saloons in
the lesser Kansas City did an extrame-
ly hourishing business
For twenty years the officials of the
city on the Kansas side have deplored
the fact that they are unable to enforce
prohibition because of their proximity
to Kansas City, Mo. Only a street di-
vides them, and it has been easy for the
thirsty populace of the Kansas town to
step across into Missouri and drink to
their hearts content. Now the temper

Governor Folks new police board is
said to have absolutely closed the sa-
looms on the Missouri side last Sunday,
despite the fact that the mayor did not
give the movement his hearty approval.

the officials on the Kansas side-in q
much smaller city-to enforce prohibit

A PIECE OF ISTPERTTNENCFe.

The editor of the Jewell Republican
is becoming altogether too inquisitive.
In fact, he is sally ilnpertinent. Just
because Kansas has a new railroad law
he is insisting on finding out lot of
things which only traffic managers and
other high railroad officials can under
stand.
For instance he says: 1--WE ought to
md out why we have to pay Is cents
per hundred on grain to Kansas City
when the same railroad can haul the
same grain from Omaha to st. Louis
for five eents!"
Now isn't that inpertinent? All a
Kansas man has to do is to pay freight
rates. and not try to understand them.
That is something only a freight traffic
man can dO-and even he cannot ex-
plain them.

on the part of the Jewell editor:
