In Return for Passes.

From the Topeka State. Journal April 9th.
The Meade News makes this an
nouncement:
"We are making list of all the
people in Meade county who ride on
passes and expect to publish this
list together with what these people
do to get these said passes. Watch
for it."
Our short grass contemporary
shows commendable enterprise.
This list will doubtless be real news
to the people of Meade county
those of them who do not enjoy the
pass privilege-at least.
But suppose a Topeka paper
the State Journal, for instance
were to attempt something like that
in Shawnee county, what sort of an
explanation could it make for the
presence of passes in the pockets of
some very prominent gentlemen 1t
would not like to speak right out in
meeting and say that these gentle
men sponge their travelling expenses
off the railroads, and it might be
some what embarrassing to them to
attempt explanations in detail as to
just what they do to earn those passes.
Some passes can be explained
without trouble. For instance,
Governor Hoch's passes on the Rock
Island and the Santa Fe might be
accounted for on the ground that
the Marion Record does adver-
Using for those roads. Some n.y.
percritical cynic may suggest that
the roads are paying rather high
rates for their advertising, but such
suggestions can be ignored.
But some other explanation would
have to be secured for the Govern
or's Missouri Pacific and Frisco
passes or doesn't he patronize
those roads-and as the State Jour
nal has no explanation handy just
now that will fit the case, it declines
to attempt any.
Then Attorney General Coleman's
Rock Island pass can be accounted
for on. the ground that Mr.. Coleman
is a Rock Island attorney. Whether
he has ever acted for the road since
he has been IN office the State Jour
nal does not know. But this paper
cannot so easily account for Mr..
Coleman's Santa Fe and Missouri
Pacific passes.
1t would also have some difficulty
in explaining, without bringing in
some embarrassing details the passes
utilized by J. R. Burrow, T. T.
Kelly and others.
This paper has no desire to en-
barrass anybody in this matter, and
it therefore declines to emulate its
short grass friend, the Meade News.
However, its morning contemporary
across the alley has been making a
special study of the pass question
andis somewhat intimate with these

AID MADAGASCAR BALD HEADS.
There's Millions In lt-Cap'n WiIber
 force on the Job.

From the New York Times.
 A horrid thing has happened In Mada- gascar. Several millions of people are becoming bald. according to Capt Peter Wilberforce, who has just arrived in New York and sailed away again with fifty gross of bottles of hair tonic from the maker of a popular brand
 The inventor of this hair wash does not pretend that it will remedy all badness. There are some cases as in woolly- head ed or kinky- haired people, to which it was not intended to apply. But the na- lives of Madagascar think 1t Is all right, because a Malagasy. by name Antamba- hoaka, who was completely bald got d bottle of this hair wash from Cape Town doctor and grew a. resplendant hir- sute adornment which was straight and silky. Before that it had been short and lSinky.
 According to Capt. Wilberforce, who de- nes that he Is related to William Wilber- force of anti-slavery fame, the trouble in Madagascar is that some time ago they had a fever there. It was just like other levers, except that the patients of the Hovas tribe (straight- -haired) and of the tribe of Betsimiserakas (kinky-haired) all became bald in the convalescent stages.
 Dr. c. R. Jenkins of Cape Town hap pened to touch at Madagascar in a steam er and having q bottle of American hair

SENATOR FOR ONE NIGHT.
How Col. Peck of Kansas Took Job to
 Save Governors Life.

From the New York Sun.
 "Cobun of Kansas wasn't the only cit izen of the Sun1ower state who declined the senatorial toga' said a graybeard in Kansas politics. "There was Peck
 "A vacancy was created in the Senate, by the death -of Preston B. Plumb, col league of irridescent Tngatfs- sfFrre- -lesis-. lature was not in session and it was mp to old Senator Humphrey to make an ap- pointment.
 ''The activity of the politicians on this occasion made Iowa and Indiana look as if they were hitched to a gravestone It was almost impossible for a stranger to get a bed a bite to eat in Topeka un- less he was a candidate for Plumb s shoes.
 Poor old Humphrey didn't get wink of sleep for q week Finally, after all the buttons had been pulled off the gov ernors coat, he jumped in a carriage late at night and told the driver to land him at the home of George R. Peck. who at the time was general counsel of the Atchi- son, Topeka and Santa Fe system. Peck was in bed but the governor pounded on the door until the attorney stuck his head out of the window in a snow storm and wanted to know who was there.
 "The governor quickly told. Without waiting to put on his party clothes, Peck hurried down stairs to receive his vsi- tor.
 "The governor was a plain man. hon est and bluff I have 1t from mighty good authority that the interview was as follows
 "The Governor-George, for heavens sake, take this senatorship I can get some sleep. There are forty men at the Copeland house who are after it, and I want somebody to take it who hasn't asked for it.
 Colonel PeclS-But, Governor, don't want the job.
 "The GoVernor-1 know you don't give a damn for 1t, George, and that's why I want you to take 1t. You're probably the only man in Kansas who isn't after It.
 Colonel Peck-I cant take it. Governor. I'm busy man. and the interests of the company I represent
 "Governor-Hang the companyi Take 1t for tonight. anyhow. Will you do that?
 Colonel Pecl1-If it will help you, Gov ernor. l will think 1t over until morning so you can get some sleep and save your life
 "The Governor put his arm around Pecll's neck and wept for joy. He drove back to the Copeland house where the candidates were still lined up and told them the thing was settled; that Peck had the job.
 "Quicker than a bunch of cats the can didates rushed away, and the Governor went to bed for the first time in a week. As you may know, Peck the next day declined the honor, but the Governor in the meantime had selected Congressman Perkins from his own town. Coburn needn't put on any airs for refusing senatorShip."
