BEHAVED BUT WELCOME.

President Winchell, of the Rock
Island railroad, has made a welcome
tho much belated announcement. He
asserts, with apparent frality, that the
Rock Island Is out of politics for all
time and ready to obey laws without
making them, In short, to practice the
square deal in business with the peo-
pie and ask for public business and
confidence Mr. Winchel made these
noteworthy statements:
The railroads are done with politics.
We have grown tired of efforts to get
ahead by politics, and we have grown
equally tired of having others climb
into office on our backs. There is only
one relation between the public and the
railroad, and this is a business rela.
ton. The Rock Island road is done.
with politics. We have tefere now felt
1t advisable to take hand to prevent
legislative measures and. political ac-
tions we thought detrimental to our
interests. But experience has been
Evening times-Republican. [volume] (Marshalltown, Iowa) 1890-1923, 1907-07-16

unsatisfactory. Hereafter the Rock
Island will accept the laws passed by
state legislatures and congress with
out protest and attempt to comply
with them, believing that if we can
show that they are inimical the people
will make the notifications expert
ence may suggest. However this new
policy may turn out, we propose to
give it a fair trial.
This is what the people of the state
of Iowa and the nation have been
waiting to hear President Winchell and
his brother presidents and owners of
railroads say. 1t is "a new announce
ment, the beginning of new and
squarer deal wherein the railroad shall
serve the public and the public meet
the railroad half way as a business
proposition. If it is sincere it means
that the Rock Island will cease to at
tempt to own legislators and control
legislation thru manipulation. 1t also
means that other roads will find it adj
visable to follow it's example, in Iowa
at least, for the Rock Island, becoming
to see to it that no Iowa railroad re-
mains above the law.
Somewhat there is about the an
nouncement by the Rock Island that
smacks of death bed repentance. The
mind reverts involuntarily to the bit
terness with which the men have been
attacked who have been asking for
precisely what President Winchell now
brings from a defeated camp under a
flag of truce. 1t comes at the end of
a six years struggle and as the need
of victory. Let bygones be bygones
however, and let us meet President
Winchell reasonably afar off with the
promise of being helped to veal when
ever a calf is Killed. There is no occa-
sion for tears of. gratitudesand cele-
bration, and new robes and special
butchering, over the decision of rail-
road president and a railroad to cease
doing what it never should have done
or have been permitted to do. Presi-
dent winchell and the c., R. 1. & P.
have done the right thing. They will
profit by it, Virtue is a reward of it,

Will the other gentlemen who run
and own railroads in Iowa please

Stephen Maryhew, of Dows. had
his long flowing beard twenty
eight years. growth = shaved off last
week and has been having all kinds of
fun with his family and friends. 1t
changed his appearance SO completely
that his own wife and children did
not know him. He came to Clarion
last Saturday night and called at the
home of his daughter. Mrs. Lee
Stewart, where Mrs. Maryhew has
been staying of late. They took him
for a tramp and ordered him from
the house, even going SO far as to
call the marshal by telephone. Steve
sided up to the old lady like he used
to do some thirty years ago, put his
arm about her and gave her a gentle
squeeze. That was the limit She
grabbed him and pushed him out
doors. locking the door in his face. Mr..
NJ. went in again by the kitchen door
and made himself known. He has been
laughing ever since.

Gunpowder And Matches.

Austin Miller, employed by the
Illinois Steel Company, at South Chi
cago, was the victim of a peculiar
accident the other day, when a guam
tity of gunpowder, which he carried
in his coat pocket, exploded. Physi-
clans at the company's hospital said
they did not believe he would recover.
Miller is employed in the blasting
department, and before leaving for
work he filled his coat pocket with
the powder.
AS he was entering the plant he
slipped and fell to the floor. The
pocket in which the powder was kept
also contained several matches.
When the young man struck the floor
the friction ignited the matches and
set fire to the gunpowder. A deafen-
ing explosion followed, and when the
smoke cleared Miller was found man
gled and bleeding fifteen feet from
where he had fallen Chicago Jour

they Went To Church.

Attendance at church service is OBJ
ligatory upon the part of soldiers at
certain English posts, and amusing
stories are told of the excuses that
are sometimes resorted to in order
to escape this requirement.
AT one post where number of
recruits were temporarily stationed
an old sergeant was ordered to ascer-
tain to what religious sect each man
belonged, and to see that he joined
the party told of for that particular
form of worship.
Some of the men had no liking
for church, and declared themselves
to be atheists. But the sergeant was
a Scotsman and a mail of experience.
'.Ah, weel," said he, then We haze
no need to kape holy the Sabbath,
and the stable haze ma been claned
DOT lately'' And he ordered them
to clean out the stables. This oc-
cupied practically the whole day, and
the men lost their usual Sunday af-
ternoon's leave.
Next Sunday a broad smile crept
over the face of the sergeant when
he heard that the atheists had join
ed the Church of England.-From
