THIS PROVES 1T.

Dispatches from Pittsburg state that
the members of the Pennsylvania leg
islature are preparing retaliatOry meas
ures against the Pennsylvania railroad
for having cut off all free transport
tation to public officials. Bills relating
to sanitary arrangements in the cars,
providing a seat for every passenger,
fixing the responsibility for accidents,
compelling the use of safety appliances
and bills authorizing trolley lines to
carry freight are a few of the retala-
tory measures proposed. A great deal
of activity and zeal in benalf of them
is said to be manifested by members
of the Legislature, while members Of
the city council of Pittsburg are pre-
pairing to turn down pending ordi-
nances making concessions to the
railroads in that city needed for i'm
provements or extensions
However much one may condemn the
disposition of these legislatures and
councilmen to retaliate upon the rail-
road companies because the railroads
have shut off all free transportation, he
cannot overlook the fact that there is
evidence here of the existence of an
extensive system of what it may be
harsh to call bribery. but it really
amounts to about that. In the action
of these public officers. 1t is an admis
sion on their part that heretofore they
have not been honest and square with
the public or with the railroads, but
have allowed their official action to be
Influenced by the favors they have re-
ceived from the railroads.
What better argument could there
be asked for in support of the conten-
ton that all free transportation should
be abolished, especially that issued to
public officers who are in positions of
public trust and who are manifestly in
capable of exercising that trust fairly
while carrying railroad passes in their
pockets? This action of the Pennsyl-
vania public officials may appear very
small and unhandsome, but it is new
ertheless very suggestive and useful as
evidence on this question of passes for
public officers.

Plan to kidnap a Boy.

HASTINGS, Neb. Jan. 6.-After a
sixteen-mile race in an automobile
with a passenger train, DR.. ]. S. Latta
of Kenesaw, defeated what is alleged
to have been an attempt to kidnap the
4-year-old son of George Coffey.
A few moments after the east bound
passenger train pulled out of Kenesaw
Christmas afternoon, DR.. Latta climbed
into touring car and started pursuit.
The race was about even to the first
station, the train moving off just before
the auto arrived. At Hastings, how
ever. the train was overtaken and the
child recovered.
The race was the result of woman's
appeal The boy had been carried
away by Enoch Coffey of Junction
City, Kan, his uncle. Mrs George
Coffey asked Latta to overtake the two
and he started as they were leaving.
Enoch Coffiey insisted that he mere
ly meant to take the child down the
road a short distance and return with
him ON a later train.

Again the Statesman would suggest
that the police committee make good
use of the increased nolice force by
putting more men On eight-hour shifts
at night and fewer men On day shifts,
which should be made ten hours in
stead of eight The police force was
increased for the purpose of giving the
whole city better protection. The city
is not getting what it pays for now be-
cause of the reduction of the hours of
service for both day and night duty
from twelve hours to eight. The chief
and two men could look after all Of
tenders during the day and the rest
of the force should be put on night
duty.

The latest addition to our exchange
list is the Wallula Gateway, the Sec
ond number of which has been receiv-
ed The first number failed to reach
the Statesman Office, and hence the
delay in noting the birth of the jour-
nalistic youngster. That a good news
paper should come out of Wallula
seems quite as remarkable as that any
good could have come out Of Nazareth,
but there Is no mistaking the fact that
the Gateway is a bright and pitny pa
per and it gives evidence of winning
the permanent prosperity that it mer-
it's The Statesman wishes the pre-
cocious infant unbounded success.

Joseph Henderson, founder and the
president of the league for the protec-

it was twenty-five years ago.

K. H. ALBAUGH, Clerk.

There is no way In which shote can
be made to gain so fast as by feeding
corn or other grain in connection with
grass. A little soaked corn fed daily
while the shotes are on clover puts on
weight at an astonishing rate and
quickly puts the animal in marketable
condition. Feeders should remember
that no one kind of feed is as good fed
alone as when combined with one or
two other kinds of feed. Both grass
and corn are natural and excellent hog
feeds, but neither one is as good alone
as when combined with the other. Corn
makes fat very fast when the system
Is in a healthy, thrifty condition, and
nothing equals grass as a conditioner

Ringing Hogs.

Breeding stock hogs that are kept
from year to year must be ringed II
kept on pasture and they will do no
good without pasture, says ]. A. Dobls
In National Stockman. Pigs that are
narrowed in fall. grown In winter and
finished in spring, when the ground is
soft, should also be riuged. But those
that come in spring are not large
enough to do any great damage until
midsummer. BY this time the pasture
Is so dry and solid that they will do
but little mischief from that time on
unless heavy rains should come.
