During the year ending June 80 last
$50 passengers were killed in train &C.
cidents on American railroads and g.
49S were injured. AS compared with
the preceding year there was an in
crease Of III passengers killed and of
1868 injured. Travel was heavier in
1904-5 than in 1904, but that does not
account for the increase. 1t was due
to the occurrence of a number Of eX-
tremely bad wrecks last year. Dur
ing that year 798 employees were killed
and 1852 injured in train accidents.
In other than train accidents 2, 1853 en-
ployes were killed and 1894 injured.
The total number of killed and injured
was 4S,6S7. 1t was supposed that the
substitution of automatic for hand
coupling would bring down the number
Of accidents to employees to a small
figure, but it does not appear to have
had that effect. Presumably there is
much carelessness on the part Of en-
ployes. They may be reckless where
they ought to be cautious. Legisla-
ton can do little to protect men who
will not protect themselves. The col
lisions and derailments of the year in
volved a total money loss to the roads
of SO, 100000 on account of damage to
cars, engines and roadbed. That is
only part of what the collisions and
derailments cost. The freight destroyed
had to be paid for. There had to be
large disbursements on account of
killed and injured passengers. The net
earnings of the roads were large, but
they would have been larger if it had
not been for the damage bills. They
were so large that it is singular the
railroad men do not make effective eff
forts to reduce them. American rail
road management, with all it's good
features, is far from having attained
perfection. Too many passengers and
employees are killed and injured an
nually. There is too much destruction
Of property. 1t would be true econ.
omy to use part Of the money which
goes to pay losses for the prevention
Of collisions and derailments.

Isn't that precisely different from what
such a man would expect? One would
naturally suppose he would be glad
when he got the money and sorry
when he got caught. That is the point
of it all. Sin is the most deceptive
thing in the world. Five minutes be-
fore he took the big bunch Of money
he wanted 1t badly. 1t would buy so
much he never expected to get. A hum
dred thousand dollars was enough to
make a man tremendously happy. Five
minutes after he took the package he
felt badly. He was not happy. He
was disappointed. Before and after.
All, In that lies all the mystery Of the
problem Of the knowledge Of good and
evil. Before the sin there are visions
Of good to come. The temptation lures.
Happiness is just here. Thrust out
your hand and take it. Step over the
line and you are in Beulah land. That
Is the point of view when alluring
devils beckon. But-when the thing is
done-when it Is too late-the man
looks out from a different angle Of
vision. The devils jeer. The man hates
his crime. He hates the loot he has
taken. And, worst of all, he hates
himself. And thus it is only step
from all allurement to remorse, from
vision to disillusion, from heaven to
hell. And men and women are TAX
ing this step every day. If we could
only see the aftermath from before!

New York, Dec 12.-The right Of

American Tobacco Company to control
the supply of tobacco and then turn
over the supply to a sales agent.

KANSAS ASKS HELP
Appeals to Iowa to Take Some
Action That Will Aid Kan
sas Oil Industry
OIL OWNERS ARE BANkRuPTED
Action of the Standard Oil in Regard
To Crude Petroleum and Decision Of
Court Against state Refinery Law
Was Terrible Blow to the State
Other News Of Interest.

Des Moines Dec 12.-Kansas has
Governor Hoch has written to Gov
ernor Cummins urging that he recon-
mend to the Iowa legislature the pas
sage of laws which will enable the in
dependent oil people of Kansas to sell
refined oils in this state in competition
with the Standard Oil trust, and which
will prevent railroad determinations.
The appeal of Governor Hoch is
backed by communication from the
legislative committee of the Kansas
OIL Producers association to the same
effect.
ernor Cummins calls attention to the
fact that the Kansas oil field was de-
veloped almost entirely by individual
capital, whose owners were bankrupt
ed by the reduction by the Standard
OH of the price Of crude Oil two
thirds. Governor Hoeh regrets that
the supreme court stopped the state
refinery, which would have guaran-
teed refined oil at a reasonable price
for all time and encouraged other
states to have followed suit. But the
legislature passed other laws which
have been effective. Governor Hoch
says:
Hoch's Letter.
among these I desire to refer es-
pecia1ly to the enactment OF law
fixing a. maximum freight rate on Oil
which reduced the rate two-thir'ds
and which has made 1t possible to ship
crude oil to the remotest parts of the
state for fuel purposes and its use
for sch purposes by the manufactslr-
ing establishments is now becoming
quite common through the operation Of
this law The Legislature also passed
an anti-discrinnation law which lis a
most wholesome enactment.
Before the enactment of these laws
only one independent refinery was in
existence in this state, that at Hum
boldt, and 1t was at the mercy of the
monopoly and nearly ready to quit.
But these laws have made 1t possible
to establish independent refineries on a
profitable basis, and not only the
Humboldt institution has been made
profitable, but other independent re-
fineries have been established at Cher
ryvale, Longton, Paola, Rollin Chan
ute, Erie and. Niotaze. Without these
laws these establishments would have
been impossible.
1t is extremely desirable to extend
the operation Of these principles of
government to other states that the
greatest possible good may come from
them. I therefore most heartily rec
ommend these enactments to the fav-
orable consideration Of the governors
of sister states and trust they may
think the subject of sufficient
importance to recommend them
to their respective legislatures,
and I urge the legislators
of the several states to study these
Kansas enaotments and If thought
wise to incorporate them or their es-
sential features into the laws Of their
respective states.

RYAN WILL ANSWER.
Decides to Tell Insurance Committee

All TIC Knows.
New York, Dec. 12.-The legislative
life insurance investigating commit
tee, headed by Senator William w.
Armstrong, appeared last night to have
succeeded in it's attempt to make
Thomas f. Ryan divulge what e. FL.
Hartman said or threatened to do to
influence him to divide his control of
the Equitable Life Assurance
Society. District Attorney Will
lam r. Jerome who was ask
ed by the committee to take steps to
punish Mr.. Ryan for refusing to an
swer the questions about Mr.. Harri-
man, reported to the committee yester-
day that he has. informed MIR. Ryan's
counsel that Mr.. Ryan ought to an
swer. Mr.. Jerome also wrote to the
committee that he believes MIR. Ryan
will answer If brought before the COM
mittee again.
Mr.. Ryan, who bought 500 shares of
the stock. of the Equitable Life Assur-
ance Society last summer and placed
them in trust 10 be voted by three
trustees, of whom Grover Cleveland
is one, was on the witness stand before
the insurance investigating committee
last FTlQay. he tl0SllllGd lIlstl lilS
day he got possession of the Equitable
stock, e. H. Hartman, president of the
Union Pacific and Southern Pacific
railroads, and director of the Equit-
able society, asked him for share
of the stock. What Mr.. Hartman
said to him to induce him to part with
that stock Mr.. Ryan refused to tell the
committee.
The specific questions which Mr.. Ry-
an declined to answer We're:
Did Mr.. Hartman say there would
be any result injurious to your inter
ests in case you refused to admit him
to share in the ownership"
did Mr.. Hartman say that any
action on the part Of the legislature or
of any official or any officer of the
government should be taken in the
event that you refused to accede to his
requests?"
Jerome Writes a Letter.
Chairman Armstrong directed Mr.
Ryan to answer and when he persist
emily refused asked Mr. Jerome to
punish him. At the conclusion of
Mondays hearing Senator Armstrong
made public letter from Mr.. Jerome
in which the district attorney wrote in
substance as follows:
81 reached the conclusion that as
matter Of law Mr.. Ryan should answer
the questions proposed to him, altho at
first their materiality might appear
doubtful
Relieving, however, that the OBJ
ject of your committee in calling my
attention to the matter was to secure
the testimony rather than the punish
ment of Mr.. Ryan, sent to Mr.. Ryan's
counsel, Paul D. Cravath, and informed
him that in my opinion Mr.. Ryan oughl
to answer the questions propounded to
him.
81 infer from what Mr.. Cravath said
that Mr.. Ryan's refusal to answer
sprung from a Discrimination to repeat
what he deemed a private CONVERSE
ton rather than from a desire to de-
prive your committee of the benefit of
any knowledge possessed by him.
II am satisfied from my talk with
Mr. Cravath that if you recall Mr.. Ry
an he will abide on my decision on the
point of law and testify to the matters
in regard to which he has refused to
testify"

ALWAYS CLEAN AND SWEET,
/ Mapleton Press

Did you ever notice that tobacco
is always clean? If a man drops
piece of meat, no matter how clean
the floor may be. he will either give
it a kick or pick it up and lay it to one
side He will never eat it. But let him
drop his plug of tobacco on the ground
and no difference how dirty the spot
was where it fell, he will pick it up
and give it careless swipe on his coat
sleeve or on the bosom of his pants
and then take 2 chew with greater
relish than ever.
