very evident at the railway stations.
Yesterday evening train No. Is on the

thermometer went down to Ia de-

At the union depot the traincard is
about as bad. Great Northern No. 2,
due here at 1885 pm. yesterday, was
so late that it was run in as a second

and did not pull in till nearly noon.

TRATN WRECKING.

If it is true, as tEe Santa Fe officials
believe. that the disastrous wreck at
Lang early Tuesday morning was
caused by train wreckers, every good
citizen should be glad to lend every as
sistance possible to run down the perpe-
traitors whether the management offers
a reward for so doing or not. 1t is a
duty that every man owes to himself
and to society to do his utmost to stop
such horrible crimes.
It is difficult to imagine a more das-
tardly deed than train wrecking. It is
committed as deliberately and is as
cold looded as d carefully planned
murder. It's innocent victims have no
more defense than has a sleeper attack
ed by an unseen assassin at dead of
night. Those who suffer most from it
are innocent Of having even aroused the
animosity of the perpetrators. It is
worse than murder in its results in that
it frequently causes more deaths and
much more suffering.
In the case of the Lang wreck. for
instance, no matter what the motive, it
could scarcely have been directed
against the brave engineer and help
less express messenger who met terri
bic deaths in it, the one by being crush
ed beneath his engine, the other by be
ing horribly burned alive unless he met
instant death when the train left the
track. If the deed was done from a
motive Of revenge against the railroad
company, it could only cost the COM
pany q few thousand dollars at most.
but it cost the bereaved families Of the
men who were killed something that
can never be replaced.
It is to be hoped that the perpetra-
tors of the crime may be apprehended
and so severely punished as to discour-
age such horrible deeds in the future.
The train wrecker is a menace to every
person who travels. and especially to
the men whose duty it is to run the
trains

WHAT THE FAR1fER MISSES

It's great pity that more Kansas
farmers are not situated so that they
can attend the annual meetings of the
Kansas State Board of Agriculture,
which is held each year in January.
Probably a great many farmers would
make an effort to be present at this
gathering if they knew just how valu-
able it is to their business.
Those who have attended other agri-
cultural gatherings, as well as those of
the Kansas board, usually say that the
Kansas meetings are far ahead of any
thing else of the kind in their scope and
importance to the real farmer. The pro-
grammes prepared by Secretary Coburn
could scarcely be of more interest to
the wide-awake, progressive man who
uses his brains as well as his hands in
doing his farm work.
The programme just announced for
the thirty-fifth annual meeting of the
board to be held on january 10. IL and
Y, is a fair sample. 1t is made up Of
live topics for corn-growers, wheat
raisers and live stock men; and the wo-
men of the farm, whose aid is invalua-
bic there perhaps more than in any
other line of work outside the school
room, are not forgotten. How to get
the largest profits out OF the farm, and
the most enjoyment out of farm life. are
discussed by both scientific experts and
practical farmers.
During the same week other state
meetings are held in Topeka, in which
farmers are more or less interested. The
papers and discussions of the state
board are, Of course, published and dis
tributed in the quarterly reports of the
board, but that does not give the aver
age farmer the ideas and enthusiasm
that attending the meeting does.
Possibly the great majority of farmers
may think that these meetings are only
for accredited members of the board. It
is true that only duly elected representa-
tives of agricultural societies or fair as
sociations are entitled to vote in the
business meetings and to have their ex-
penses paid, but the sessions are open
to all who are in any way interested in
farm work.
The up-to-date, progressive country
dwener who desires to get all that he
can out Of his life will make it a point
if possible to take a few days vacation
the second week in January and come
to Topeka to attend these farmers gath

An HTsTORICAI RECURRENCE.

In discussing the action of the KAN
sas railroad commissioners in the
grain rate case, T. A. COrdry, editor Of
the Parsons sun, makes this comment:
ssYou will notice dearly beloved
that it was George Wheatley who voted
for 10 per cent reduction in all grain
freight rates when that question was
before the board of railroad commits
sioners. The other members voted Tor
a per cent reduction. And yet the
editor of the Sun was lampooned by
the party leaders when in reporting
the state convention for the wichita
EAGLE he said in fOrecasting the work
of the convention on the following day
that Never before in the history of
the state had any political convention
been more dominated by railroad IN
terests than that which would convene
tomorrow morning. Up to the present
time there has been no rebuttal evil
dence introduced by a single man who
was nominated at that convention. The
grain men Of the state asked for a re-
ductiOn of 1914 per cent in freight
rates and the board voted them a re-
duction of 5 per cent. Mr.. Robson
and Mr.. Walker were the candidates
of the railroad for railroad commits
sioners and were nominated by their
influence"
Inasmuch as Mr.. Robson was en-
dorsed bv the commercial and ship
ping interests OF the state, MI COrdry S
statement may need a little explana-
ton, although his last allegation is
strictly correct.
At the Wichita convention there was
a straight contest between the rail-
roads and the organized shipping in
terests. The shippers were especially
opposed to Mr.. Walker and the rail-
roads were especially anxious to have
him nominated. Mr.. Wheatley assert
ed that he. Wheat1ey. was not allied
with either the railroads or the ship
pers, but the railroads were satisfied
with him and this led the shipping
interests to refuse to endorse him. The
! shippers did, however, endorse Mr..
Robson, along with several other can
didates. Mr.. Robson is a farmer and
/ stockman.
The railroad interests through the
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1905-12-20

politicians, insisted on having two Of
the nominees. Walker and Wheatley,
but they were willing to allow the third
man to be chosen from among those
endorsed by the shipping interests
And they selected Mr. Robson as the
one.
The railroads have thus far had no
reason to repent their choice of Mr..
Robson. Not that there is the slight
est suspicion that Mr. Robson would
deliberately and Intentionally favor the
railroads and discriminate against the
shippers, for he is a strictly honest
and honorable gentleman, but there is
a feeling that he lacked the experience
and shrewdness to keep himself from
being worked" For instance, such
little courtesies as Mr.. Paul Morton's
taking Mr.. Robson home from Topeka
in his private car soon after the con-
vention. and other attentions from high
transportation dignitaries have doubt
less convinced Mr.. Robson that rail-
road magnates have neither horns nor
hoofs, and that they are not as black
as they have been painted. At any
rate Mr.. Robson has faithfully sup
ported Mr.. Walker in most railroad
matters.
Mr.. Wheatley, on the other hand, is
making good" with the people of the
state, to a great degree at least. He
stood for a 3 per cent reduction in the
grain rates last week. and il. Mr.. Robi-
son had supported him instead of Mr..
Walker, it would have meant a saving
of $1,20O.O00 to the farmers Of Kansas
just on an eighty million bushel wheat
crop, to say nothing of corn.
