trouble because OF the long horns of
the steers. One old fractions bossy
steer would keep nearly all the rest
away from the trough. A man sug-
gested that the steers be dehorned.
The society for the prevention of cru
city TO animals objected, but IL was
finally shown that the practice was
beneficial To the animals themselves.
We do not wish to injure the rail
roads or take one 10 cent piece away
from them that is rightfully theirs.
but we do wish TO dehorn them SO
that all OF us may have an equal
chance at the trough OF prosperity
From a speech by w. A. Harris.
With out considering the present
campaign In Kansas. Col Harris has
made a most happy simile. The pres
ent rate regulation. movement, with
hooSe'clI DeHinu III, is
simply a move to dehorn the rail-
roads In the interest of the whole
people.
No one wishes to take from the
railroads any OF their legitimate
rights. There is no desire on the part
or the public as whole to iniure or
cripple the roads any more than the
man who dehorns his cattle wishes
to injure or cripple them. The rate
regulation movement is designed sim
ply to dehorn the railroads so as to
Keep those that are inclined to use
their horns and be "bossy'' from
coughing and imposing upon the
weaker classes. Some railroads
doubtless try to be decent Just as
some cattle are gentle and inclined
10 leave others alone. But when
dehorning is resorted to, IL is neces-
sary to treat all cattle alike. and II
works the same way In dehorning the
railroads.
or course there is considerable
snorting and plunging and paving OF
dust at the start, but the railroads
VIII find that they are more brighten
ed than hurt. After the first smart
ing Is over it will be better for the
roads as well as for every one else
rhey will get all the feed they need
or are entitled to, and each will have
lust as good a chance as teh rest. But
lhere won't be so much feed wasted
IN rebates and passes. The big roads
won't be able to chase the little ones
away from the trough, nor will there
ne so much danger of their tossing
the hired men over the fence of the
feed lot. Col. Harrison struck n good
simile when he spoke of dehornine
the railroads.
