minutes, the new arrival was served
with the first dinner course of soup.

his plate. the guest said to the waiter:
1T can't eat this soup"
'I'll bring you another kind SIR" said
the waiter as he took it away.
Neither can I eat this soup!' said
the guest a trif1e more emphatically,
when the second plate was served.
The waiter, angrily but silently, for
a third time brought a plate of soup.
''I simply can't eat this SOUP" once
more said the guest in low, emphatic
tone.
BY this time the waiter was furious,
and called the hotel proprietor, while
the guests at the nearby table looked
over that way with curious chances.
Really, sir. this is unusual. May
ask why can't you eat any of our
soups?" demanded the proprietor
Because I have no spoon" replied
the guest quietly.-Judge's Library.

KANSAS cOAAENT
FROM. HOMER HoCH.

The discussion on the 2-cent fare
has called considerable attention to
the subject and the people have sum-
med the whole matter up at about
this. The railroads never make a spe-
cial passenger rate that a business
man or one who has to travel can take
advantage of. That individual has to
pay the full fare, three cents per mile.
But the person who is not compelled
to travel, the people who have no
occasion to travel, but will when spe-
cial rates are made, can get almost
anywhere for one and one-half cents
per mile. And to the person who
takes long trip just because he can
and would not think about 1t if special
Inducements were not offered can ride
for three-fourtlls of a cent per mile.
Now then, If the railroads cannot
operate at the 2-cent rate commended
for in this state, does it not suggest
that they operate at a great loss on
these special tickets, or are they left
overs" and are they Just cleaning up
stock?" But on the other hand, if
these special rate tickets are sold at
prof1t,-and who thinks they are not?
the roads won't go broke at 2-cent
rate for the, short haul.-Marion Rec
ord.

FROA OTHER PENS
A MOMENTOUs APPEAL.

In an appeal taken to the supreme
court of the United States from the
supreme court of Kansas the Missouri
Pacific railroad company presents a
square issue, of interest not only to
! the legal fraternity, but of the utmost
| Importance to the whole public, edu-
Gated to a lively appreciation of
events in the contest between the rail-
ways and the people.
Many state legislatures have passed
so-called 2-cent laws. New York
Pennsylvania. Ohio. Illinois, Nebras-
ka and Minnesota are among the
number. Possibly for the purpose of
facilitating an appeal to the highest
court of the state, the Pennsylvania
law has just been declared unconsti-
| tutional by court of inferior juris-
diction. In Minnesota on Tuesday

The company strikes, in one blow, at
the whole theory of state regulation
of railways doing an interstate bust
ness, and at the validity of every state
legislative act of whatever railway
sort. the country over. 1t submits
that the Interstate Commerce COM
mission has been invested by the Hep
burn act with the power of executive
control over railways engaged in in
terstate business. and that no state
may exercise jurisdiction over such
railways. The facts upon which the
case rests are of such character as
will not unfairly restrict the presen-
tation of the opposing doctrine OF
state control. Should the supreme
court sustain the contention of the
appellant the resulting consequences
would be epoch-making. The CEN
tralization of government would be
advanced a century.-Los Angeles Elk
