THOMAS L, BOYLE DEAD.
Sudden Ending Of a Bright and Prom
Using Young Life.

The community was greatly
shocked last Tuesday morning to
hear of the sudden death of
Thomas H. Boyle at the home of
his parents. MIR. and Mrs. Hugh
Boyle north of Olmitz. Death
was due to heart trouble. He had
attended a lecture at the church
the night before and was in ap.
parently good health but was
taken sick about 3 O'Clock in the
morning. He Immediately lost
consciousness and the end came so
PEACEFUL that he died with a
smile on his lips.
Thomas HendricksoD Boyle was
born in. Barton county Kansas
May 8, 1883 and was % years, 7
. months and 80 days old at the
time of his death.
After finishing the course in
the common schools he attended
Central Normal College at Great
Bend where be was known as an
exemplary student. He has since
been engaged in farming and has
taught school in the winter
months. He was at the time of
his death employed as teacher in
his home district.
He was a young man ofirrepro.
achable character and although
his life has not been long he has
set all example worthy of emuIa.

PUBLIC OPINION.

Editor of the News:-Your refer
ence to the great fight that Mayor
Tom l.. Johnson, of Cleveland, has
made for 3-cent fare, is very COM
mendable. The fight made by the
chief executive of Cleveland for lower
fares shows what an honest and fear
less official can bring about If he
tries. Six years ago when Mayor
Johnson began his nght for lower
street car>fares he was laughed at by
the financial interests in the Forest
City, and predictions were made on
all sides that he would fail IN his
efforts. With the decision of the
United States supreme court in his
favor, few days ago, there is a dI-
ferent story being told now, and it is
but question of a very short time
until Scent car fare will be universal
in Cleveland.
The members of the city council of
Canton should guard closely the in
terests of the people of Canton, as it
is rumored that the present street
railway company is about to ask for
renewal of their franchises on sew
eral streets. 1t is known that this
company has several members of the
council who are very friendly towards
them, and unless those members who
are in favor of guarding the peoples
interests are watchful there is likely
to be a repetition of what happened
some years ago, when by trickery and
corruption the old company deliber-
ately stole the franchise over certain
streets in the city. No renewal of the
franchise should be given unless for a
short period, not over five years at
the longest, and then the city should
be compensated, and cheap fares
should be had for the working people,
between the hours of 5 and 8 in the
morning and and 7 in the evening.
Unless something of this character is
granted, there should be no more con-
cessions made to the street railway
company A Citizen.

Compete Very Little With
Harriman's, According
to Results of the
Investigation.
LITTLE TRAFFIC STRIFE

Chicago, Jan. 9.-Competition be-
tween railroads terminating on the Pa
cific coast is a thing of the past. OF
the Central Yestern section E. II. Har-
riman is king, over the Northern ter
ritory James J. Hill reigns supreme.
The situation was brought out clearly
by Operating Director j. G. Stubbs of
the Harrima Mine and Chief Traffic
ern Pacific at the Interstate Commerce
hearing today. What is more, Mr..
Stubbs and Mr. Hannaford agreed
that this is competition. Mr.. Hanna,
ford thinks there would still be com
petition if one man owned all the rail
road properties. He denied that he
spoke for James j. Hill, but those who
heard him think he did. He has gained
all his railroad experience under the
Wizard of the Northwest, and the in
terstate commerce commissioners said
unofficially but positively that they
chiefs views. Mr. Hannaford's idea
is that competition would continue
through the individual efforts of man
ayers of the separate lines and that
the rate question would not enter into
the matter because that had already
been settled. In other words fhei
country will never again see one road
cutting under the prices made by an
other. Mr.. Hills lieutenant confess
ed that his line has long given up the
effort to get San Francisco business
because the Southern Pacific posses
ses uicker route from the east. The
only competition between Hartman
and Hill is for eastern, a very little
southern, and far northwestern busi-
ness. Mr. Hannaford said he did not
think car clearing house would be
"a bad thing-that is, one agent might
be placed in charge of all cars. For
a railroad to get them he would have
acquisitions made through regular
channel.

RIOT CASE DISCUSSED

Washington, Jan. 9-Discussion OF

sideration Of the army appropriation

In support OF mis- position he cited the
riot at Athens, o., in 1904, in which
regulars fred on the provost guard OF
the militia, killing a national guards
man. There never was man punish
ed" he declared. There never was
an officer. called upon to make re-
port" he continued, "and the feeble
attempt Of local authorities to punish
the men who committed that cold
blooded murder was utterly futile for
reasons that I do not care to go into
just at this time. l could show how
little aid we had, how a great deal
of trouble was thrown in our way. l
could show the factional conditions
between the militia and the regular
soldiers, including the war department
here, which took up the cu0gel in OPP
position to the authorities and
against the militia of the state"
Replying to Mr.. Crumpacker he de-
Jared that there were no negro troops
there. The attempt to kill the pro-
vision failed. The provision to abol-
ish the rank of lieutenant general
was stricken out.

Surprise is expressed in some quar-
ters that Cassatt left none of his for
tune to charity Such surprise is en-
tirely unnecessary. Never from the
day of Mccullough down was a repre-
sentative, head of that corporation sc
false to the teachings of the company
as to give any money for such a pur-
pose. The Pennsylvania company is
the Incarnation of all that is meant
by greed and graft in which no sense
of justice or humanity is permitted to
have a voice. Cassatt was so greedy
that he has attempted to control his
fortune from the grave as he has left
it to his third generation.

FIGHT AGAINST BAILEY.

According to dispatches from dlf-
ferent points in Texas, the light
against the reelection of j. w. Bailey
to the United States senate is growing
very warm. At the primaries held
last spring in that state, Bailey was
unanimously chosen by the Democrats
for reelection. Since that time he has
been charged with accepting retain
er of 100000 from the Standard Oil
Co, and also being an employe in the
capacity of an attorney for several of
the large trusts and combinations do
ing business in that state.
The Democrats of Texas are evil
IDENTIFY made of that sterling quality
of Democracy that resents such tactics
by public officials as practiced by
Bailey, and the result is that public
meetings are being held throughout
the state protesting against the legis-
lature giving him the senatorial seal.
Last Saturday at a special primary
held in Travis county, in which the
capitol of the state is situated, test
vote was taken to find out the senti-
ment Of the Democratic voters in that
county. The result was that the in
dorsement of Bailey was voted down
by over 1000 votes. This is signifi-
cant from the fact that last May, when
the primaries were held, Bailey re-
ceived every vote cast at the primar-
les in the entire county.
Senator Bailey in reply to the
charges made by leading Democrats
of Texas, says he is opposed to any
investigation of what he claims are
his private affairs. He says that he
can practice law and accept fees with
good proprlety. while serving the peo-
pie of that state in the United States
senate.
The action Of the Democrats in that
state is certainly commendable,. and
IL little of the spirit of this same
sort was injected into Ohio political

The decision of the supreme court
of the United States in the Cleveland
street railway case was a triumphant
vindication of the peoples rights as
laid down in the decision Of Judge
Tayler, formerly congressman from
this district Through the arguments
of sleek corporation attorneys and
courts that have been suspicioned Of
being under corporation influences,
the street railways have been building
O. system through which by riders and
interpretations they have entrenched
themselves so that the people really
possessed no rights on their own high
ways when a street railway interest
was affected. The supreme court mas
laid down the theory that corpora
tions are created for the benefit OF
the cities, and not the cities for the
benefit of the corporations. Canton
citizens. in the light of past expert
ences, can heartily approve of the
findings of the court.
