Three-Cent Fares and Passes.

Senator r. II. Peterson has wisely
coupled his two-cent fare bill with a
measure prohibiting all railroad passes.
The second half Of the bill effectually
meets the argument against the first.
Efforts have been made before to reduce
passenger fares in this state. It has al
ways been met with statistics to show
that passenger traffic does not pay at
the present rates.
If the railroad officials would make
complete showing from their books,
they might develop the reasons why
passenger traffic does not pay. For in
stance, if they would disclose what
proportion of tho traffic is "deadhead -
It would throw considerable light on
the subject. There is popular impress
zion that if every passenger paid
Two cents a mile, the roads would
receive as much revenue as they
now do from three-cent fares,
two-cent mileage books, and passes.
The general public does not know.
it can only surmise. The railroad
companies have the statistics, and
could enlighten us if they desired.
There must be fallacious idea as to
the duties Of the "General Pass.
AGENT Of railroad company. It is
different now. The passenger depart
ment does not distribute free transpor-
tation except on orders from the legal
department, or from the president or
general manager. However, the amount
of free transportation sent out on their
orders every year would stagger belief,
if it could only be ascertained. It is no
exaggeration to say that thousands of
Minnesota people hold annual passes,
and tens Of thousands get trip passes
every year.
To begin with, there is the legislature,
with It's 1872 members. Then come the
state officials, elective and appointive,
including the railroad commissioners
themselves. Some Of the judges on the
bench travel regularly on free transpor-
tation. County attorneys, sheriffs, coun.
ty commissioners and sometimes other
officers of the county government are
favored more or less. They usually
HuSG, dSh LUZ pdSSeS, DuI are ScluOn re-
fused if they are in position to be of
any service to the company.
Coming down to the city governments
1t is a well-known fact that at all
terminal points the city officials and
aldermen have transportation "pull'
with the railroad companies, which they
frequently exercise.
All in all, not less than 500 public off
,cials in Minnesota are favored with free
transportation. They get it not only
for themselves, but for members of their
families and for friends. The trip
passes issued are a. net loss to the com
panies, for the recipient usually has
planned the trip, and failing to receive
the pass would pay full fare.
No wonder the man who pays must
give his straight three cents a mile. He
is helping pay the "deadhead" fares.

ITO months ago." says a Denver
press dispatch Of Thursday, "a poor,

This is the unusual romance Of a
pretty little Denver Cinderella, Miss
Violet Ayres, who last night became
the wife Of A R Hubbard
Since she was scarcely more than
a baby Mrs Hubbard has had to
work OUT and earn her meager
bread and butter by hard toll. Her
parents separated before she was born
and there was no loving welcome
awaiting the little girl when she open
ed her blue eyes on the world a few
weeks later in PhillipsbUrg, Kan A
day or so after her tirth she was ad-
opted by Mrs. Anna Mccall, but the
foster mother cared nos as much for
the tiny waif as the hard-hearted
mother had. After twelve wretched
years OF starving and beatings the
child ran away from her foster par
ents in Colorado Springs and went
out to work

harshness and barrenness Miss Ayres
knew well, and when staIwart young

learned that her grandfather, whom
she remembered as a pOverty-stricken
farmer, had struck it rich in Kansas
oil and died a millionaire, leaving
$4,000 Of his fortune to her. For
four years the attorneys for the es-
tate had been searching for Miss Ayres

town, we have one OF the cleanest and

The executive committee Of the
State Editorial association met in the
ordinary Of the Copeland hotel in To-
peka and decided that the next meet
ing Of the association should be held
in Junction City the third Monday and
Tuesday in April Of next year.
1t was decided that J. E Junkin,
who is now vice-president Of the Ma
tiOnal Editorial association, should be
recommended by the Kansas assO-
citation for the position Of president
Of the national association There was
unanimous vote on this proposition.
Mr. Junkin has done better work in
the state and national association than
any other man and he should be elect
ed. The next national association
meeting Will be held in Indianapolis
in June Of 1906.
Il do not believe there viii be much
opposition to Mr.. Junkin as the presi-
dent Of the next editorial association, %
said J. Q. Lewis. He has done so
much work and has made himself so
well known on account Of his work
in the matter OF working interest in
the meetings that there cannot be
much opposition to him"
1t is certain that nothing could
please the editors OF the west more
than to have the national association
choose Mr.. Junkin as the president

ling Bulletin.

day, and then continued until Mon
day Of this week, when a continuance
was again granted by the court until
December % The bond for the ap-
pearance Of the defendants was placed
at $4,000 each. Prewitt secured bail,
but Grace Sterling is in custody for
the want Of the necessary bond.
Coffin is recovering from the wound.
which was the most feared by the
doctors, Thursday arternon he was
brought TO DR.. FarrOw's Office, where
a search for the imbedded bullet was
made with the dtctor's x-ray machine.
The bullet entered the right thigh and
ranged upward, but the x-ray showed
no trace Of the ball. although the ply
sicians could clearly see the femur
and the pelvic bones. It is thought
that the bullet lies so close to the
bone, or is so imbedded in one Of
them, that it cannot be found with the
Rontgen light.
