1t Is q common belief among China
men that II one commits any crime
against certain animals-cats. for ex'
ample-the soul of that animal will
take possession Of the wrong-doer un-
til the offense has been purged. A
servant girl, according to the oriental
tafe, unmindful Of tradition. put to
death q cat and its three kittens. She
was taken violently Ill. Her mistress,
suspecting the cause from the fact
that the maid was scratching and
mewing. apostrophized the body OF the
dead cat, demanding to know why II
thus tormented the girl. The spirit
of the cat. speaking by way OF the
girls mouth. denounced the quad
ripple murder. The whole story was
told by the girl in the character oil
the cat. Then she expired In violent

THURSDAY, FEB. %.
A WARNING.

The newspapers have a habit OF
OVERRIDING nearly everything they
attempt. They are OVERRIDING
their attacks OH railroads. The
Globe doesn't receive single rail-
road pass, and it hasn't a single
railroad contract for advertising.
1t receives not dollar from any
source from railroad company,
yet it realizes that railroads are
necessary to the development and
prosperity of the country. While
the railroads should be operated
in a spirito fairness andliberali-
ty, they can be bounded to point
where the country will suffer.
That point has been nearly
reached now unless we are mis-
taken. Newspapers that are in
the enjoyment of profitable mo-
nopolies are demanding that the
business of the railroads be regu-
lated by law. Many of the pro-
posed regulations are impudent,
unfair and troublesome, and not
in the interest OF the people. The
editors forget that the man who
invests in railroad stocks has the
same right to a Square Deal as thu
man who invests in farming oper-
atoms, or banking operations. OF
business operations of any other
kind.
Just now we have prosperity,
but a period of depression is not
far away. When the period of
depression comes, railroads will
not be so prosperous as they have
been of late years. During the
dull times of a few years ago, rail-
road investments suffered, and
they will suffer again. Because
passenger fares are two cents a
mile in some of the thickly popu-
lated states, it does not follow that
two cents a mile is a remunerative
rate in Kansas, where the popula-
tion is small and scattered. These
things should be considered.
It has been stated by railroad
men that because of vicious at
tacks on railroads, investors are
timid, and that it is difficult to
find additional money with which
TO make needed improvements.
We can easily believe this is trae.
Should the people whip the
railroads TO point where il be-
comes cruelty and uufair1 That

OUR CHANCE.

Baxter Springs now has a
chance to get what she has want
ed for a long time, and if she
fails it will be very long time
before such another opportunity
offers. The mining camp is go
ing to help out on the matter,
but some Of the largest property
owners are not going to do what
they ought in the matter. The
smaller fellows are going to
strain every point, and if they
fail we want to say right here
that the blame for failure is GO
ing to be placed where it belongs,
and there will be no mincing OF
words, either. An electric road
can he built to the mines from
this city this summer, and if the
conditions are complied with il
will be built. The conditions are
going to be met. And the people
are going to he we'll acquainted
With those who help the project
to succeed.
1t is not fair, however, to the
committee to be compelled to
hunt up every man in the COM
munity to solicit his help in the
matter. If you are interested,
just call on the committee and
put your name down for what
you can afford, or for what you
know will be the benefit to you.
We mean YOU.
