sentative from the senate chamber. In the next act they put out of busi- ness bill for railroad regulation which had been passed by the house and put poor substitute in it's place.
 While this is going on The Star refuses to be muzzled and not only gives it's readers a very complete report of the Kansas senate proceed ings but it shows the people that practically the same twenty-four senators who voted to exclude The Star also voted to down the railroad reform measure.
 This comparison has done so much to prove The Stars charge and raised such howl over Kansas that it Is predicted by the papers of that state that the publicity will force the senate into line.
 The eyes of every voter in Kansas are on those two dozen senators and if they are not owned body and soul by the railroad interests and ready to be dumped into the political scrap pile. they will be all mighty slow in turning down the will of the people of that state, as expressed by the house, for railroad reform.

THE SUNDAY BLUE LAW.

In Fort Smith a local court and jury has upheld the Sunday blue law regarding the closing of ice cream parlors and cigar stands, and the Fort Smith Times says editorial ly that this was hardly to be ex- pected in Fort Smith. We'll, per haps it was hardly expected in Fort Smith. but nevertheless the country will never suffer from this deter mined spirit for law enforcement.
 The principle is right, must be admired, and the surest way for the Times to get it's wish for law that better conforms to public sentiment is through the enforcement of the present law. If that law and all laws on the statute books are enforced you may rest assured that the ones which do not conform to public sentiment will be repealed and at the same time we will be instilling into the minds of the coming gene ration a more profound respect for the laws of our land.

THE DICKINSON CONTRACT

Referring to the statements made by Senator Floyd in support of the bill introduced in the state senate for the repeal of the contract of the Arkansas Brick and Manufacturing Company for convict hire, w. ". Dickinson, president of the company, has the following to say:
 As to his charge that ''the people are demanding the abrogation of the contract, " l can only say that my belief is that the people, as a whole, are honest, and that they are not in favor of "abrogating" a con- tract fairly made with the state through her legal representatives, as this one was, a contract which, so far as my company is concerned, has been faithfully carried out, and in its effort to do so it has expended over S200, 900 in erecting buildings, purchasing machinery, etc, which, if the contract Is abrogated, win re- suit in gross loss Co the company, and this loss will be greatly increased by the failure of the company to carry out the contracts already en- tered into. and partly filled, which must occur if the contract is abro- gated.
 The people are to be congratulated upon the good impression they have made on MT. Dickinson that as a whole they are honest.
 Mir. Dickinson is also correct in his conclusion. that the people are not in favor of abrogating a con- tract fairly made. But does fairly made apply to this contract? It was in speaking of it that Senator Jeff Davis said, When signed it l was either crazy or had my hand behind my back" Jeffs statement on this point has never been denied, and under such conditions would it seem the contract was fairly made {?
 Mir. Dickinson's anxiety, and pic lures of great loss should it be abrogated, indicates that they have a snap" through some crazy" or hand behind your back" deal.

 A NEWSPAPERS VICTORY,

In connection with the present agitation and legislation along the line of railroad control one of the most novel scenes is being enacted in the Kansas state senate.
 The members of the lower house in that state were elected last fall ona platform demanding certain rail- road reform legislation and that body has made good by passing a bill regu- lating freight rates and stopping the use of passes fer political purposes, but the members of the senate. who are hold over' senators from the election two years back, have shown such spirit of blocking this class of legislation that the Kansas City Star virtually charged that body of being under the control of the rail- roads.
 There is saying that wounded bird fiutters, and in this case there were twenty-four of the thirty-six Kansas senators who really had spasms, and before it was over they did the foolish act of passing a reso. luton excluding the star's repre-
