traIn-robbing outlaws have been a
constant menace to the advance OF
civilization in the settlement of the
prairIes. With the advance OF time
their occupation has been made 50
hazardous through the vigilance OF
railroad officials and the methods

Along the line Of the Union Pacific

wont TO thrive. These avengers Of
lawlessness are provided with a
special car in which their horses are
stabbed. ammunition is stored and
all is held In readiness for immed-
late action in case OF need. Col.
Cody has prepared for his Wild West

were formerly a frequent occurrence.

The editor of the Parkersburg
State Journal takes occasion to state
that IT is a fact that he is a candl-
date for the Republican nomination
for Congress. but nowhere does the
Telegram find in his columns his an
nouncement. This ia an oversight
on his part from the newspaper
standpoint. He ought to announce
at once in his own paper. with the
natural expectation that his Golfers
would be added to by the announce.
ments of other candidates. The
Telegram will not believe that he in
tends to be selfish enough to exclude
from his paper all mention of the
other candidates.

cultivated his talent. as to take a
place of great promise among us,

Express companies doubtless
think they are shrewd. Perhaps,
they are, but every one sees through
their recent order that they will
ship no c. o. D. liquor from other
States into this, but will continue
the shipments from one point to an
other within the State. on account
of the Con- mandatory injunction.
1t is believed since some OF the
States have gone dry that the real
purpose of this order is to force
mandatory lnjuuctlons to be issued
in those States. and then the express
companies will simply be in the swim
as it is stated in slang. The idea
is great one whether it works or
does not work,

howl, when they learn that Mayor
Holley, the Democratic chief execu-
tive of Charleston, has actually re
instated colored man on the police
force of that city, and. this. too, in

Byrne. who aspIred last year to Con-
gress and later to the leadership Of
the Democratic party and goes in

probably console themselves with the
idea that the colored fellow voted
the Democratic ticket. -~a-~

great cities make plea for a Fourth
of July celebration which will be more
rational and less destructive to life and
property, and as result of their
crusade many cities have passed ordi-
nances regarding the nature of the ex-
plosives which may be lawfully used
and the places where they may be set
off. The boys of 1907 are all right. but
they and the boys of any other year
have to be protected against them
selves, and this country cannot well af-
ford to have scores and hundreds Of
them killed and thousands of them
MANNED and mutilated yearly by the
reckless use of giant crackers, toy
pistols and Chinese fireworks. The old
time celebration of the Fourth when a
heavy Grafton was the chief feature of
the program is not likely to be re
vived, but the kind of a celebration
which consists wholly of noise and
smoke, death and destruction is not
creditable to a civilized country, and
public opinion will not continue in
definitely to tolerate it.
