THE MILEAGE BOOK ExPED1ENT.

The announcement of w. ]. Black,
passenger traffic manager of the Santa
Fe, in the State Journal Wednesday,
makes apparent the wisdom of Kansas
in accepting the mileage book reduc-
ton as agreed to by the railroads rath-
er than insisting on a fiat passenger
rate of two cents a mile at this time.
The only thing that can be urged
against this mileage book reduc-
ton is that it does not help those peo-
pie who travel less than 500 miles a
year on any one road. Such people
will continue to pay three cents a mile,
but the great bulk of railroad travel
in Kansas will hereafter go at two
cents a mile.
The wisdom of the mileage book
plan lies in its expediency. Mr.. Black
promises that two-cent mileage books
will be sold in Kansas just as soon as
they can be prepared, and the travel
ing public will reap the benefit Of
them. At the same time the usual ex-
cursion rates will be continued. On
the other hand, Mr.. Black says that in
Missouri, where the fiat two-cent rate
has been adopted. excursion rates will
be abolished and train service
abridged. In Nebraska the fiat two
and it may be knocked out, in which
event Nebraska will be left without
any controlling rate whatever.
1t was therefore expedient for Kan
ssls to accept the mileage book reduc-
ton, inasmuch as the railroads agree
to abide by it without a fight. 1t puts
the great bulk of Kansas travel on a
two-cent basis, and if the fat two-cent
fare is upheld and works we'll in other
states. Kansas can adopt 1t later If
the fat two-cent rate is knocked out
elsewhere, Kansas Will still have some
thing almost as good.
Incidentally. now that Kansas and
the railroads have agreed, what is to
hinder the railroads from proceeding
to put their tracks into better shape so
as tc make travel more safe. The
great need at present is safety to the
travelling public.

One way to be unhappy is to envy
the happiness of others.
Few boys learn arithmetic as readily
as they learn to smoke.
What a man doesn't know may hurt
him, but what he doesn't say isn't apt
to.
The speed mania never hits boy
very hard when he is sent down town
on an errand.
The older a woman gets the less num-
Der of photographs she has to order to
supply her friends.
A woman doesn't mind inconvenience
much when she is visiting, if she can
impress her hostess that she Is used to
something better at home.
Men and women never seem to know
each other so little that they are afraid
to marry. or have lived together so
long as man and wife that they may
not sue for divorce.
When the husband and father scoIds
and goes out slamming the door, his
daughters wish they had a bear like
that for a husband for about a min
ute, and they'd cure him. and the
mother tells them they will have
chance some day.
The women's magazines take this
stick to the men: That they do not buy
their wives presents. Let a man take
his wife home five pound box of candy
and she would keep him awake all night
talking about his extravaganza, and
should he venture into drygoods store
in her interest, she would have great
deal to say about no man having any
sense in what he buys when a girl
clerk gets hold of him.
An Atchison woman has quit going to

wished since she married for love four
years ago, and after seeing the play
she would wake up in the night to
grumble about that fool girl on the
stage" 1t got on her mind so her fam
lily decided to keep her away from the
theater.

Western Coal Lands.

The wisdom of demanding for the
people fair price for their coal by
an equable leasing system has crystal
liked into a bill, carefully prepared by
the experts of the administration. The
only hardship SO far introduced by this
new departure has been the tying up
from settlement of large areas of land
where the surface is still suited to ag-
riculture. The new legislation contenl-
plates only holding fast to the coal I'M
der these lands. 1t allows the surface
to be pre-empted under the homestead
law, but obliges the surface owner to
permit the development of the coal I'M
derneath, under wise laws.
But the master stroke in this achieve
ment reaches further, in two direc-
tions. 1t forms the third essential ele-
ment.-the final necessary element, III
the development of the west. Quietly
but efficiently did the president pro-
mote the geological surveys reclaula
ton system, which in it's many projects
outstrips the Importance of the Panama
canal. At the same time the president
threw the whole weight of his national
popularity to the aid of a wisely
planned forest service, which is broad
enough for the entire country, and IS
bringing back popularity to the pres1-
dent and TO Pinchot, with interest. This
third administrative act, not only
alone, insures fuel enough for the man
ufacturing development of the west.
More than this, it suggests the neces-
sary change in the mining law which
shall make it the effectual supplement
of the homestead act in the develop
ment of individual effort in the west.

taken to avoid mistakes. The plans
were accepted and the order was

and finally blurted out:
This will ruin me, but I must do
it. See here, 1 have made mistake
