mold, discussing the crop situation,
says:
THE ground has frozen nearly
every night so that seeding has been
done on afternoon only. Since May 1.
farmers have been in the fields plow-
ing forenoons and seeding afternoons.
In this way about three or four days of
plowing and seeding each have been
done. 1t takes about ten days to put
in the bulk of the wheat in given
locality. and but little is left after
two full weeks of wheat sowing has
been done, So that We may expect to
have the bulk of the wheat seeded by
the 18th and all done practically be-
fore the Goth.
"Twenty-siX years experience here
in wheat raising leads me to want to
have wheat in the ground by the 18th
and to expect good results from wheat
sown by the Goth. I do not entertain
the least apprehension of loss from
backwardness of the season, except
in wet places or where little plowing
was done. l have seen several sea-
sons SO dry that the grain did not
sprout until June and good crop WAS
raised. With good weather from now
on there is nothing in sight here to
feel discouraged over"

Our Fatality Record as COnstrasted
With Engiand's Is q Shocking One.
From Wall Street Summary
England's record OF six killed and

one year, against us killed and 5,565
injured in America on railroads in the
same period IS a frightfuI compari-
son that bears no reasonable ratio 20
the elative extent OF British and
American railroads. As to the cause
OF our slaughter the interstate com
merce commission in its report on
railroad accidents and their causes,
which it was requested specifically to
make by congress, sheds much light
From II we learn that accidents are
largely due to the negligence Of sig
nalmen, generally telegraphers. The
latter, it appears, are overWorkd, be
ing compelled to labor twelve hours
and, sometimes, even longer. This is
shameful and intOlerable- IT IS in
human and unjust to the men them
selves and q f7agrant imposition upon
the travelling public To subject the
latter's safety to a man whose nerves
are strained by the exacting nature OF
his work, and whose physical strength
IS spread through loss OF sleep and

Al negligence
In exposing this reprehensible prac-
tee alone, the interstate commerce
commission 5ustifes its existence. The
block signal system IS the best known
instrumentality for the prevention OF
collisions, but its usefulness Is altoge-
ther dependent on the efficiency Of the
signalmenl The automatic stop, the
commission believes, would prevent
accidents such as follows the collapse

unfortunate moment for him, as about
this time, the switch engine 163, pull

passed over his body and his head
was severed from the trunk and his
legs cut of

SALOON HELD RESPONSIBLE.

Sold the Liquor That Caused Suicide
ana Widow Obtained Damages.
The Fairbury CNeb.) Journal OF
last week reports this interesting case
against saloon proprietors who were
charged with selling liquor to a hus-
band and while drunken, committed
suicide:
The trial Of the case Of Mrs. Cora
II. Davis against two saloon keepers OF
Fairbury came to an end last Friday
morning when the jury brought in q
verdict allowing the plaintiff $1,75o
damages for the death OF her husband
Lew Davis was a blacksmith and
resident OF Fairbury. On July Is,
1904, he committed suicide, being, #
is alleged, intoxicated
In the spring OF 1905, his wife,
Cora II. Davis, for herself and two
minor children, commenced suit in the
district court through her attorney,
". J. Moss, against Fred +. BOrland
and his bOndsmen, Charles T. Stark,
Henry Weier and Sebastian Hammer
and William .Greve, and his bonds
men, Marcus Stafnbrok and H K
Schmidt, asking for $4,000 damages
for the death Of her husband caused,
she alleged by the use Of liquor bought
OF these two salOonkeepers.
At the trial Of the case in April,
1906, the jury disagreed.
The case was tried again last De
Cember and again the jury disagreed
after striving for long time to bring
in a verdict
The trial Of the case at this term Of
court lasted from Tuesday morning
until Thursday night. when the jury
retired.
". J. Moss and A c. Wolfenbarger
appeared for the plaintiR and John
Heasty for the defense. The jury at
this trial consisted Of W z. Burrell,
foreman, L z. Baldwin, Arthur Price,
". T Bishop, Ed Wood, Fred Jones,
Gus KrOetsching, Louie KilhOnek, Ed
Schnuelle, Winfield zimmerman, Carl
Smith, Charles Gibson.
The costs thus far accrued viii
probably amount to $500 and the case
will no doubt go to the supreme court
The Goodland republic., 1907-04-05

Washington, D. c., April 1.-The
growing interest in government con-
troll and ownership Of railroads has
led officials in Washington to make
some estimates as to the cost and
methods by which such ends might
be reached Here are some cOnclu-
sions:
It would cost the government in
the neighbOrhOOd Of 1924, GOO, 600
Csixteen billion two hundred and for
ty-four million dollars) to buy the
railroads. That is, this is the COM
merciaI value Of the whole railway
plant, including terminals, depOts and
all appurtenaces, as estimated by the
United States census.
The government has the constitu-
tional power now to assume control
and ownership Of the roads. This was
demonstrated in the case Of the Pana-
ma road, where the government con-
demned the stock and paid a fair
market value for 1t.
In order to buy the railway sys-
tenn Of this country It is only neces-
sary for the government to appraise
the property and then to issue govern
ment securities IN exchange for the
private securities now standing against
these properties
There would be no real drain on the
United States treasury The govern
ment would simply start its printing
presses, and print the necessary S16,-
244,OOO,OOO worth Of bonds; then
these would be issued in exchange for
the private securities, which would be
destroyed.
Any dispute as to valuation would
be settled by condemnation proceed
ings.
Then congress would probably have
to create another cabinet officer, a
secretary Of railways. He would run
the railroads Of the country just as
the postmaster general runs the post
Office department
When Switzerland decided to take
over its railroads, a few years ago, the
government concluded to pay for them
on the basis Of twenty-five times the
average net earnings for a period Of
twenty years. This was easily deter
mined in that country owing to the
fact that the accounts Of the railways
had been under strict governmental
supervision for that period.

Bad Mixers.

THE CONGRESSMAN OF FORMER
DAYS.

From Kansas City Star.
The death Of Galusha A Grow, the
veteran Pennsylvania statesman,
breaks another OF the few remaining
links connecting the old and the new
in the history Of the United States He
was one Of the last surviving repre-
sentatfves OF that school OF politics
which produced statesmen who per
sonalIy typified the honor, dignity and
intellect Of the nation in the legisla-
tive branch Of the government, and
although he served in congress up TO
a recent period, from 1859 to 1903, he
retained, in all its striking distinc-
tiOns, the old school idea
He was not a product Of the spoils
system Of politics, for he belongs to
an age in which craftsmanship was
founded on a basis vastly different
from that Of the new school He seFv-
ed the nation when men like Seward,
Wade. Sumner, Chase, Hamiin and
Trumbuu were in the senate, and
John Sherman, Thaddeus Stevens and
Joshua Giddings were his colleagues
in the house
What dignity and distinction be
lOnged to the congressman Of that
dayI To be a member Of the lower
house then was an honor quite as
and a Congressman of that school
maintained his dignity with a jealous
care. He was a figure then in Wash
ingtOn, no less than in the districts Of
his constituency, and his influence was
something more than was represented
merely by his power to cast vote on
q measure before congress. His visits
to the county seats Of the various
counties of his district were events
which still Hnger in the memory Of
those who are old enough to recall
them. It was not the visit Of a pO-
litical fence builder" who secures a
room at the hotel and holds mysteri-
Gus conferences with members Of the
political lodge" while a sentinel
guards the doors to keep back the
laymen and refuse admission to those
who are not 'Onto the job"
The congressman Of the age in
which Galusha A Grow participated
came to visit his constituents. He kept
open house and was greeted by ev-
eryOne in the neighborhood who de-
sired to see him. And the people
called on him, for they respected him
for his personality and his position as
their representative in the govern
ment Of the republic. The term Of
political boss was unknown TO the
politicians Of the GaIusha A Grow
school. The obligation resting on a
congressman never included in that
day the responsibility Of designing or
executing a political plot against the
people. It embraced only the duty Of
honestly and fairly representing them.
