Many a man lives like a lord who

Even in turning over new leaves
one good turn deserves another.

No search warrant is necessary in
looking for trouble or finding fault.
It's queer that while a man always
goes to lunch woman goes to a

OF the making of books there is no
end, as many a race track follower has
discovered to his sorrow.

A few weeks ago the State Journal
published a communication from a
telegraph operator, who wished his
name withheld for obvious reasons, pro-
testing against the employment of
mere boys or irresponsible persons in
such responsible work as the railway
telegraph service.
The good sense of the protest is en-
phasized in the facts surrounding the
cause Of the terrible volland wreck The
error or neglect of an eighteen-year-old
boy who was employed in the response
BILE position of night operator seems to
have contributed to the terrible deaths
of more than thirty human beings and
the manning of a score of others.
When the movement of trains and
the safety of human beings are in
volved, none but responsible men should
be employed. In the present demand
for labor it may be difficult to secure
men of experience with a due sense OF
responsibility, but certainly an extra
effort should be put forth to secure
such men.
1t is easy to criticise, of course, after
a calamity has happened. The boy
who made the blunder would doubtless
do anything In his power to undo what
he has done. If he is a young man of
ordinary sensibilities he has been suf-
fering terrible mental torment during
the past three days because of
the suffering he has caused. 1t was
sorry day for him when he entered the
railroad service. The blame may not
have been all his, but it is agreed that
his error contributed to it. His youth
might excuse a less serious blunder.
but no excuse can bring back the lives
of those who suffered such terrible
deaths at Volland.
No blame, apparently. can attach to
the railroad management, except for
the employment of this Irresponsible
youth. The block system was inaug-
urated on the road just a day before

$4,000 advance sale tickets were all
taken by the people of Topeka within
a few hours of the time they were put
or sale. Topeka knows that the Mid
winter Fair is one event that will be
fully up to the advance notices and
that it will be no disappointment. The
interest in this event has been growing
year by year ever since it was inaug-
urated, and the attendance this year
promises to excel that of all former
seasons. More than that. people from
outside of Topeka have learned that
the management of the exposition will
give them their moneys worth and
more, too. 1t is an institution that re-
fleets credit upon Topeka as a city and
upon its manager, Mr.. R. s. Brigham.

THE CARETAkER.


1 slept with Teddy bear last night,
And some blocks and doll OF two,
And l was strangely restless and
kicked the whole night through,
And baby doll with voice that
scueaked-
They had jurnbled its inner gear
through
In my tortured and aching ear.
And a trumpet dug at my ribs all night
AS I tossed and turned and Topped,
But the doll with its inwards twisted so,
1t gave not out nor stopped:
And little blue-eyed baby girl
Awoke in the haunted night
And called across the darkened hall, =
"Oh, dad, is the bear all right?'
And I told her of course it was all
right:
I was caring for it fine,
For the blue-eyed girl in the far-On crib
Was my own, and her eyes ashine
When she got that bear told me a heap
Or the JOY 1T brought to her,
That bear was precious from leather feet
To its imitation fur.
And SO 1 snuggled the fuzzy bear,
And snuggled the dolls and blocks,
And a stringless fiddle with broken bow
That she found in her tiny socks,
And top that spins and a picture book,
The whole long night time through,
And handed them over when morning
broke
To the girl with eyes of blue.

A few minutes later the porter of
the sleeping car came into the snok-

wife wanted to see him. At that the
gamblers sneered and Tommy swore.
He sent back word that he would
come when he got ready and continu-

back in his place, and when the state
room door opened at her knock she
said to the anxious and weeping

RAILROAD ANxIETy.

1t is, of course, gratifying to the
friends of Congressman Curtis that he
| is able to bring forward the testimony
| of Speaker Cannon and some of his
associates in congress, stating that he
did not fight the passage of the Hep
burn act but aided in getting it
| through the lower house.
This evidence will be accepted as
conclusive by those who are anxious
to support Mr.. Curtis anyway, and it
| would have to be given great weight
| by his-opponents were it not for other
evidence that has more direct bear
ing on MIR. Curtis candidacy for the
United States senate.
AS a matter of fact, there was prac-
tically no fight on the Hepburn bill in
the lower house of congress. 1t pass
ed almost without opposition, and 1t
was generally understood that the
railroads would make their fight
against 1t in the senate. Consequently
the railroad congressman in the lower
house did not have to declare them
selves. Even Mr.. Calderhead of the
Fifth Kansas district, who declared
last spring when he was renominated
that the government has no more
right to regulate freight rates than 1t
has to regulate the price Of farm
products, voted for the measure-al-
though it was intended solely to do
what Mr.. Calderhead said the govern
ment had no business doing.
What is more significant in the
present contest in Kansas is that the
railroad interests are lined up behind
Mr.. Curtis. If Mr.. Curtis has been
fighting the railroads for fourteen
years, as one of his newspaper sup
porters alleges, why are the railroads
so anxious now to elect him to the
senate? That is the puzzle.
Nor has IT been so very many years
since Mr.. Curtis in repudfating the
Horton agreement" asserted that d.
w. Mulvane, A. X Rodgers and the
late Judge Horton had no power to
make agreements for him, but that
Mr. M. A. Low was his political rep
resentative in Kansas when he was
absent in Washington.
Mr. Low is an individual of high
standing as a private citizen and a
gentleman, but in politics he is the
representative of the Rock Island rail-
way; SO that when he repudiated the
Horton agreement Mr.. Curtis chose
the political representative of one of
the big railways to be his representa-
tive and spokesman also.
Is there any wonder that many
Kansas people are somewhat skeptical
about the assertions of Mr.. Curtis
friends that he has been fighting the
railroads. all these years? ,JenI =.
There are other good men who are
candidates for United States senator
concerning whom there is no doubt.
They are we'll known to be on the side
of the people rather than on the side
of the corporations. They stand for
Rooseveltism and all that is best in the
Republican party. One of these can
didates has made a national reputa-
ton in uprooting graft in official life.
and another is starting out along this
same line.
