Comment Of an Eastern Pager On Con.
dltioas In Kansas.

Of the los counties in Kansas.
eighty-fve are without a pauper,
twenty-five have no poorhouses
and thirty-seyen have not a crimi-
nal case on the docket. This is
entirely due, say woman sufrag-
lists, to the fact that in Kansas
women have full municipal suff-
rage, though quite likely there are
other equally potent influences
contributing TO this satisfactory
state of things. There are others
besides the enfranchised ladies'. =
The Boston Herald.
Woman suffrsglsts perhaps
think that has something to do
with it. Prohibitionists are sure
it is prohibition. Many other
people might say it is due to a
series of phenomenal crops and
prosperity. But whatever the
cause, it is a mighty good condi-
ton. -Topek Capital.
In connection with the above
permit US to state that Barton is
one of the counties without a
pauper, and also that in this
county there are but three crimi-
nal cases on the docket for the
term of court commencing next
week, one of which will he dis

You're On The EaI-Yhere7

i DON'T Know Where [ Am
Going, But | Am On My Way"
is the name of a song that is be-
ing threshed out on the vaudeville
stage just now. We are reminded
by this rather suggestive title that
we have seen a good many people
who were on their way but didn't
know Just where they were headed
for, and if they did we believe
that a good many of them would
be stopping and turning back OF
taking another path. In fact, we
can recall a good many instances
when we have ourselves been on
the way without a defnate idea OF
where we were going, when If we
had had a clear understanding Of
where the trail led we should
have abandoned it and tried an.
other route or gracefully backed
out and sat down.

KANSAS, She
SETS THE PACE.

Topeka, Kans.. Feb. 2S.-An
action has been agreed upon by
the railways in Kansas which
proposes the annulment of the
Kansas law fixing maximum rates
for the transportation of oil and
provisions This Law is largely
responsible for the great Roadway
the independent oil producers have
made against the Standard Co.
The oil industry will suffer .
severely if the law is invalidateu. f..
The plan of action by the rail
roads is to ignore the legal rates
and force the producers, through
the attorney for the railway CON-
mission, into court. There the
railways will set up the Plea that
the maximum rates are con6sca-
tory, and that no reasonable
difference is allowed for the hand.
ling of oil in barrels and in tanks.
The railways obeyed the law as
long as its effect was local only.
Now. however, Representative
Campbell using the Kansas maxi
mum rates as an illustration has
caused the order to Che Interstate
Commerce Commission to investi-
gate the oil rates. And moreover,
the Kansas rates are being used
before the legislatures of neigh
boring states to induce similar
Legislation.

ID. M. Woodburn has made
some very fine sterescopic views
from Kodak pictures taken by

they are as good as though made
by experts in that branch of
photography.

an ENEMY
IN THE CAMP.

In the Topeka Capital of the
18th appeared an interview with
j. W. Robinson, one of the men,
bers of the Board of Railroad
Commissioners, in which he,
Robinson, a member of the Board,
and drawing a salary as such
form the people of the state, ex-
pressed a doubt of the constitution
atty of the railroad law. Robin
son also denounces the Implement
Dealers Association as "a trust"
and decides in favor of railroad
on a rate matter and against the
implement men.
H. c. Taylor chairman of the
transportation committee of the
Southwest Kansas Implement
Association, makes a lengthy re-
ply to Mr.. Robinson, and exposes
the unreasonableness and fallacy
iOf Robinson's position. He also
diScloses some facts concerning
the injustice of railroad freight
rates, and among others, sites the
following which should be of par
ticular interest to Barton county
people:
Une more illustration of how
greivous the fraight rate robbery
is and then | am done. Barton
county raises about four million
bushels of wheat a year; of this
she ships two and a half million
bushels. Her rate to the gulf
port of Galveston, where she must
meet the markets of the world, is
80 cents per hundred. The rate
from the Missouri river, more
than 100 miles greater distance
from Galveston, is 15A cents per
100 pounds, making the rate from
Barton county to Galveston ia
per cent higher than i is from
the Missouri river. although the
haul is more than 100 miles less.
Mr.. Robinson would no doubt ask,
what can the Kansas Board of
Railroad Commissioners do about
this, it being an inter state rate ?
| answer, make a rate of 3 cents
per 100 pounds on wheat from
Barton county to the Missouri
river for export to Galveston and
the railroads would have the op-
tion of taking the wheat to Kansas
City, where it would get the rate
of Is cents additional to Galveston
or. of taking the wheat direct to
Galveston from Barton county,
which would give them the SUM
OF the two local rates, making the
rate from that county Is cents.
This would still leave Barton
county paying 90 per cent higher
rate than the Missouri river rate
for shorter haul. Barton county
is paying 10 cents per bushel more
to the railroads for hauling her
weat to market than is just and
equitable, and this means to that
county alone on her two and a
half million bushels for market
the enormous sum of $25O,OOO per
ear. 1t is not time that every
man in Kansas should stand up
and demand a Square Deal on
| freight rates from the Railroads.&c."

Just as guilty as the little fellows who
went to the penitentiary. They are
criminals OF the very worst stamp
and yet, under the law made by a
Republican Congress, they keep out

usual. Judges and juries may dc
their duty faithfully, but Republican
politicians in Congress make it i'm
possible to Jail the big criminals.
