SHOULD TT BE PURLIsHED2

The attitude of that Methodist min
lister at Wichita who commended the
publication of the proceedings in the
Thaw case and who took issue with
those who have been criticizing the
publication of the testimony in the
newspapers, is certainly correct
There may have been testimony in
the trial which ought not to go to the
public, but, if so, it has not come over
the Associated Press wires. The State
Journal and other newspapers that
have given the public the Associated
Press report have published nothing
that should not go to all classes of
readers.
In fact. as the Wichita minister
states, the publication of the story of
Evelyn Thaw, as it has been given by
the Associated Press, ought to have a
beneficial influence on the American
public. In the first place, it will serve
to warn innocent young womanhood
against the Stanford Whites who NAV
cross its paths, and in the second place
1t stimulates in every welI-balanced
man a sense of the outrage of such acts
as White has been shown to have been
guilty Of. Too many men are inclined
to regard lightly offenses of this ma
ture, but the recital of Evelyn Nesbit's
wrongs at the hands of Stanford White
makes real manhood aflame with in
dignation at such wicked conduct
Such facts should assuredIy be pub
hshed in the form they have been
handled in the Thaw case.

cord for catching jack rabbits without

weeks ago, and bought a half section
of land from ]. b. Boothroy. One af-
ternoon Boothroy and Marquis were
riding in the country together and
Boothroy spied a jack hiding under
Russian thistle. Hold on a minute,
and I'll get out and catch him." said
Marquis in a tone of quiet excitement.
ooh, pshaw,' retorted Boothroy;

way" Marquis paid no attention. He

together he had Mr.. Jack by the neck

and could only laugh at the spectacle.

IMPORTANT THINGS FIRST.

The time Is becoming short in which
the legislature must complete its
work. Much important legislation still
remains to be accomplished. OF those
measures which are most in the public
eye. the anti-pass, the direct primary.
and the maximum freight bills are
very essential.
The State Journal has always con-
tended that freight rates are of much
greater importance to Kansas than
passenger charges, and the two-cent
fare question therefore should not be
allowed to crowd out these other
measures. There is a grave doubt if a
fiat two-cent rate on all roads in the
state would stand the test of the
courts, if good passenger service is to
be maintained. 1t has been suggested
that the railroads might grant inter-
ehangeable mileage books at the rate
of two cents a mile.
The railroads are quite likely to con-
cede this. They have already, within
the last few weeks, given this rate to
Nebraska. This makes two cent
rate for commercial travelling men
and for those who travel to the extent
of two thousand or more miles an
nually and are willing to pay in ad-
vance.
The passenger rate question is one
of small moment at most when COM
pared with grain and some other COM
modify rates. The railroads them
selves seem ready to concede that
grain rates in Kansas are too high by
fifteen per cent, and in reality they
can be reduced from 20 to 80 per cent
without danger of being made too low.
This would mean over million
dollars year to Kansas farmers and
millers on wheat and flour alone, to
say nothing of corn and its products.
Therefore the maximum freight
rate measures should be given prece-
dence in the legislature. No one
doubts that many freight rates are too
high; there is doubt as to passenger
rates. If the railroads are willing to
make a two-cent rate on mileage
books it would perhaps be best to let
the passenger rate question go over.

TWO SIDES.

Attention is called to the fact that
during the last year or two an avail
anche of comment has been dumped
upon the American public setting forth
a so-called unfriendly attitude of ma
tional, state and municipal lawmaking
bodies towards corporations and espec-
tally towards railroads. Efforts have
been made by railroad r~1agnates and
officials and their attorneys agents
and lobbyists to brighten the public to
the extent of developing a strong SEN
timent against this alleged hostility
lest it result in crippling the railroad
companies in the way of DELAYING
or abandoning improvements, giving in
ferior service or even going into bank
ruptcy. Threats have been made in
some instances Of cutting down forces
abandoning extensions, passing divi-
dends, reducing efficiency, and a variety
of calamities in the matter of public
service under claims that congress and
state legislatures are inimical to rail-
road interests.
Against all this is set I'D the abuses
to which the public has been long sub
Jected in the matter of rebates, dis
examinations, exorbitant rates. partner
