the order from all parts of Iowa
and Nebraska, were in attend
anca on initiatory exercises of
Council Bluffs council No. lO45

About 100 prominent knights
were in attendance from out
side the city.
The knights all assembled a.

10 O'clock attended high mass
at ST. Francis Xavier's Catholic
church. After luncheon at the
Grand the initiatory exercises
began in the hall of the order

final degree was administered
by Epiphany council of Sioux
City.
After the exercises at the
hall the knights adjourned to
the Dodge Light Guards arm

The banquet was an appropriate
climax to the occasion. Plates

The tables were decorated with
jonquils and carnations and the
scene when the guests were all
seated was an inspiring one.
Following the feasting a pro-

We have heard good roads
talked the past two years until
we are entirely Disguised.
What this part of Iowa needs is
good roads and the only way to
get them is to do like Woodbine
people did a year ago, dig up
the money and build them. The
road built through the valley
leading to Woodbine is the best
investment made in that line
for some time. These good
roads built on paper are good
to read, but no good to travel
on. Woodbine Chronicle.

the Fire garmented in spark

And the flesh Of dead men was
burned, and the flesh of live men and
babes fell roasted from the bones; and
in the eyes Of all lived the fear that
numbs and palsies. and into the eyes

classified all of those mentioned by

that Mr.. Phillips should be in the list

year ago to catch whales in the

the Olathe boy shipped, captured two

yielded over a hundred barrels OF oil
The Belvedere gained waters that no
other ship had been in since 1854 In
fact it went a little too far. It had in
tended to return to San Francisco last
fall. As q rule there is plenty of open
water along the mainland during the
summer and fall. but on its return west

Mr.. John O. Royce has taken up the
cudgel in defense of the pass-the rail-
road pass. At least he intimates that
he can see no harm in the pass and he
says he does not believe an anti-pass
law would accomplish any good end.
This is in direct opposition to Mr..
W. R. Stubs. who has seized on to the
anti-pass issue. as though 1t were a
long lost child. or a million dollar rail-
road contract, or some other good
thing. Mr.. Stubs seems to have a
remarkably good eye for good political
issues.
Now this paper will probably not be
accused of any undue friendliness for
Mr.. Stubs. And it is extremely
friendly towards Mr.. Royce, for whom
it has a very warm liking. But in this
instance the State Journal must side
with the Lawrence statesman. It does
this because Mr.. Stubbs' position is
correct on the pass question. The State
Journal was advocating the abolition
| Of they railroad pass even long before
Mr.. Stubs helped put the Pringle anti
pass bill to sleep last year. and since
1 Mr.. Stubs is now an "anti-passer' to
the verge of violence. this paper does
not propose to retreat from its position.
Mr.. Royce's argument against an
anti-pass law are based on the propo-
sition that the pass is not necessarily a
bride. That Is correct. A great many
public officials accept and use passes
who would scorn bribe. Railroad
men give out many passes with no
thought of demanding any service in
return. Yet 1t is necessarily true that
a man with any gratitude in his heart
! Fao 81
his pass.
But the pass-the free pass@is
wrong aside from the bride idea. The
man who rides free, who does no serv-
ice or gives nothing in return for his
ride. is tax upon the other patrons Of
the railroad. It costs the railroad COM
pany something to haul him, and If he
does not pay for it somebody else must
do so. Railroads are public service
concerns. If they were strictly private
enterprises, so that the cost of the free
transportation came out of the pocket
of the road or the person giving 1t. this
argument against the pass would not
hold good. But it does not work that
way. If Mr.. Royce rides free somebody
else must pay enough to make up the
deficiency In the railroads earnings
caused by hauling him free.
There is danger, however. that too
much of an issue will be made of this
anti-pass and two cent fare question.
Passes and passenger fares are a minor
matter to the people of Kansas com
pared with freight rates. If the rail-
roads could be assured that they would
not be bothered in fixing freight rates
if they conceded a two-cent passenger
rate, they would doubtless be glad to
do it.
Do not, therefore, become so blinded
by the anti-pass and two-cent fare
issue as to lose sight of the main ques-
tion-the election of a railroad board
that will give both the people and the
railroads a square deal.

Dynamite for Dreams.

An American business man who was
on a visit of a few days ago to a min
ing camp situated near Monterey, was
surprised and Tnystified to hear one
Mexican miner say to his companion as
they came from the depths of 2 mine.
Come over to the Cantina and take
some dynamite with me"
The American uperintendent ex-
planned the invitation:
THAT was not an invitation to take
a drink of some rev brand of liquor, as
might be supposed" he said. Those
two Mexicans actually eat dynamite
and get drunk on the dangerous sub
stance"
It is a fact that many of the Mexican
miners of the peon class are dynamite
eaters. It is a vice that is rapidly
spreading. J. c. Ford, a prominent
American mining man of the Guade-
lupe Calvo district, said concerning
this new habit:
users of dynamite soon learn that
it is a powerful stimulant and that the
effects of intoxication are pleasing.
while they last, beyond the most ex-
cruciating fantasies of an opium

nerves begin to Jingle, and stranger
