CIark.s Ietter of Resignation.

Grand Chief Conductor E. E. Clark
has addressed a circular letter to the
members of the Order of Railway
Conductors in which he says:
The president has honored me with
appointment as interstate commerce
commissioner. It does not seem that
I should turn away from this oppor-
tunity to take up work in broader
field, in which ] hope to still do much
good. I have asked the trustees to
arrange to relieve me from the Office
of grand chief conductor at the end
of this month. The trustees will meet
and arrangements made by them will,
in due time, be communicated to you.
The order and its welfare have been
the greater part of my life for
number of years I cannot sever my
active participation in its affairs with
out much and deep regret. Naturally
/ feel pretty closely attached to the
institution which. since I have occu-
pied the position of its chief execu-
tive, has grown from about ESQ divi-
sions to nearly 500. and from $4,000
members to 5000. In the same period
the membership of the Mutual Benefit
department has increased from less
that 1000 to nearly $4,000, we have
paid benefits amounting in round
numbers to Ss,0O0,OO0 and have built
up a reserve fund of $4,000 and
that without any appreciable increase
in the cost to members per year, per
$1,000 of insurance. The financial
condition of the order itself has been
raised from nothing to its present
strong healthy and satisfactory condi-
ton without increasing the dues of
members. During this period all of
the orders work as a labor Organ1za-
ton has been done. Immense and
inestimable benefits in the way of in
creased compensation, shorter hours
and better conditions for our members
all over the jurisdiction of the order.

son, Topeka & Santa Fe has acquired
the road between here and Purcell
from the Gulf, Colorado & Santa Fe,
and that the shops and roundhouse

UPHELD BY THE VOTERS.
Kansas Mayor Who Refused to En-.
force Laws Reelected.

Kansas City. Kan, May 10.-Resign-
ing just before the state supreme court
decided against him in custer proceed
ings, based on his refusal to enforce
laws relating to the liquor traffic and
gambling, William w. Rose, former
Democratic mayor, was reelected to
that Office at special election. He
defeated E. E. Venard, Republican,
and David Harris, Socialist.
+ The issue of the election was the
enforcement of the prohibition and
anti-gambling laws. Rose was sup
ported by the element which believes
that the best interests of the city de-
mand the licensing of joints and gam
bling halls, as they maintain that a
strict enforcement of the law against
such places deprives the city of nee
essary revenue.
The question of Roses right to hold
the Office will now be tested. The su
preme court held that it's action in
ousting Rose rendered him ineligible
at this time. Rose contends that, as
he resigned before the supreme court
acted in his case, the custer proceed
ings against him were ineffective.

five minutes. Chancellor Day said in
part:
The amazing blunder is in the chief
executive of the great nation attack
ing the business interests, judges and
persons, in proclamations to congress
and in interviews for the daily press.
There are two general forms of
anarchism. The late practices Of our
president are the more dangerous of
these two forms. That form Of an.
archism for which William R. Hearst
IS noted is harmless in comparison
with that which takes on the forms of
our institutions and laws and does un.
lawful, unjust and tyrannous things
officially. Hearst can do little because
his cloven foot instantly is seen wher-
ever he steps. But anarchism clothed
with official authority is covert, de-
ceptive and perilous in the extreme.
The press and people, who applaud it
in the official form, shudder at it as
Hearstism. They shudder at the lesser
evil. They applaud only the form of
anarchism that really threatens our
republic"
