Lillian Russell On Marriage.

Tn an article prepared for publica- tion. Lillian Russell. Thursday, at Cincinnati. Ohio. declared a few thoughts on Love. Divorce and Ma trimony." Excerpts follow:
 "I do not believe a marriage con- tract should be permanent. Under existing conditions it is impossible for a woman to know what a man Is. and for a man to know what a womon is, until they have been married.
 Divorce is one of the greatest bless ings in the world to-day. It is moral degradation for a woman and a man to live together as man and wife after love has passed away. For the wo- man I can imagine no more terrible fate than to be fetttered to a man she has ceased to love. Divorce is a necessity The present condition of affairs is deplorable- Nine nar- riages out of ten are unhappy.

Mo umpIre's ruIIngs were entIrely

the umplre's rulings we're entirely
fair.
These wrangles over the national
game, are what disgust the average
citizen with base ball. The writer
has always been an ardent admirer
OF the national game, but when he
goes TO see a game, he wants 10 see
the players play ball" and not
wrangle with the umpire. An um-
plre is chosen to judge the game,
and his decisions should be final,
and as a rule all umplres Intend 10

When q close decision Ia made, II
Is customary for the rooters for each
side to set up a howl, and claim the
decision. Players run into the dia-
mond, and wrangle with the umpire,
and act In anything but a gentle
manly manner. This is what dis
gusts the average citizen with the
game and causes many lover Of
the sport to remain away from the
modern game
Managers should emphatlcally in
slst that all disputes be settled by
themselves, the umpire and the cap
tains OF the teams, and every play
er who butts In" should be heavily
fined. only gentlemanly conduct
should be allowed. The umpire is
supreme, and II a club has no con-
tldence In the umpire, they should
not accept him. When they do, they
should quietly abide his decisions.
The management OF the Panhandle
has no sympathy with the wranglIng
OF the base ball fans, and wants to
give II out now. that their tale OF
woe will be told to deaf ears around
the Panhandle office In future.
The Weekly Herald this week pub

Suits have been instituted against
the oil trust, ana some OF the other
trusts, not to dissolve the trust nor
to send their managers and owners
to prison, but to fine them, and, II
fined, the people will pay the fine.
Thus IL has been with all the reform
measures of the administration. Mr..
Rooseyelt's reform measures fail to
reform. The great conspiracy against
the commonwealth still goes on. The
great combinations still live. The
people still pay tribute to their old
masters. Wealth still continues 90
concentrate in the hands Of the few
The government Is still run by the
rich and powerfuh and the people are
still at the mercy Of their enemies.
The reason Is plain, The President
does not lay the axe at the root Of
the tree. He Stands pat" on the
robber tariff, the father OF the trusts.
He has failed to invoke the criminal
statutes against the arch lawbreak-
ers. He goes to the protection Of
the Mortons. He still has Root, the
cunning attorney of the trusts, as
his chief adviser. He was the will
ing BENEFICIARY OF the contributions
for political purposes Of the preda-
tory corporations. In Pennsylvania
ne went to the support, not OF the
Lincoln Republicans, but the old
Quay machine. In Delaware he sid
ed with the Addicks faction. In
Wisconsin he supports, not LaFol-
lette. but the corrupt machine. Ev-
erywhere his voice is the voice Of
Jacob, but his hand is the hand Of
Esau. He stands for concentration
of federal power and the obliteration
OF state lines. He is the representa-
tive OF Hamiltonianism, not OF JEFF
fersonlan democracy, or Lincoln re-
publlcanism, Why then, should he
be the nominee of the Democratic
party? He is not the worst Repub-
lican, but he is bad enough. 1t is
true his policy has tended to an agi-
tation which is distasteful as his petty
suits have been annoying, to the
plutocracy For this the Harrimans,
ct i'd omne genus, do not like him,
any may wish to see him turned
down by his party. There is one
warning that ought to be sounded.

care for a fine for an act four years
ago? They have made enough to pay
daily fine for every day since the
charge was made, II fined, they pay
the fine, and charge It up to the con-
sumer, and he pays 1t somewhere
else.
What is needed to redress al these
wrongs, is public ownership of all
public carriers and public utilities,
which serve the general public as
common carriers, or transmitters Of
packages, passengers or messages
Let the public own the public util-
tiles, and serve the public at cost,
and the rates will be much lower

A SENSIBLE VIEW.

John Temple Graves, the impul-
sive Georgian, recently publicly sug-
gested that Roosevelt should be
nominated for the presidency by w.
j. Bryan, at the next national demo-
cratic convention. The Panhandle
commented on the foolish idea Of the
Georgian at the time. In the cur
rent number of Bryan's Commoner,
comes communication from " B..
Fleming of Chicago, which so fully
sets out the falacy Of such a move on
the part of honest democrats, that
the Panhandle reproduces it here
with.
There is no more real comparison
between Roosevelt and Bryan, when
It comes to real reform, than there is
between a shadow, and real person
Bryan stands for principles, and has
the backbone to enforce them, were
he in the presidential chair Roose-
welt is simply an imitator to the
grand stand. Results are what
count, and when 1t comes to results,
although Roosevelt's has been a brass
band administration, he has no real
results to show for his gush against
the trusts, combinations of wealth,
and the railroads
Here is Mr.. Fleming's communi-
cation:
John Temple Graves favors the
nomination of Roosevelt by the
Democratic party This vagary would
hardly be worthy of serious mention
were it not that there are others
who are OF this way of thinking
The President is not only fooling
scores of Republicans, but some DEM
ocrats as we'll What has the Pres
ident done to merit the confidence
of democratic Democrats? He has
veneered his administration with
some pretenses which smack of de-
mocracy. He has stolen some dem
ocratlc thunder" but what has he
done with it? Has he turned his
guns upon the citadel of the enemy
OF the people. The railroad merger
case was brought and decided for the
people, but is it not fact that the
merger still exists? An amendment
TO the interstate commerce act has
been passed, but at the last moment
the heart was taken out of the Dill
by the Presidents consent, and the
railroads still carry on business at
the same old stand In the same old
way. A civil suit was brought
against the beef trust, but that octo'
pus was given an immunity BATH

AFTER THE RAILROADS.

The Daily Panhandle is pleased
with the reported tone OF the re-
commentator of Attorneys Kellogg
and Severance, to the Interstate com
meree commission, in yesterdays tel
egraph columns, from New York, on
the investigation Of the Hartman
railroad mergers. The report holds
that railroad competition has been
suppressed by the merger In an
area equal to one-third OF the Unit
ed states. That the contraGts be-
tween the Union PaclNe' apdPftPck
Island and the Union and southern
Pacific are in violation OF the sher-
man antitrust law.-.-It-recnmmepds
that the attorney general ipstitute
proceedings to annul these contracts
illegally existing betysep the rail-
roads to stifle competition, and rob
the people Then It recommends
more effective laws to prevent infla-
ton Of securities, and then makes
the sensible declaration that 1.-The
profits of the great railroads Of the
far west are being used to buy stock
and control systems In the east in
stead of building more roads for the
development OF the west, as they
should"
ment laws, would they recommend
further laws, or arrest and punish
ment? The latter would be the re-
suit.
Then why are the gentlemen Of the
Hartman and Fish and Hill stripe
any better when they transgress a
government law than any other Grim
inal? Why are they entitled to any
more clemency for conniving to rob
the stockholders of the roads they
manage and the public, than the man
who robs a bank? Are they any bet
ter than any other criminal that they
should receive different considera-
ton? The Panhandle fails to see
that they are.
The sherman antitrust law pro-
vides for criminal as we'll as civil
action against the violators, though
they be some of the captain of fl
nance, and chief Of the lot of rail-
road stock jobbing gamblers?
While Mr.. Roosevelt is heralded
as d trust-buster 1t has been notice
able feature OF the prosecutions Of
the violators OF the antitrust laws,
by his subordinates that there has
not been a criminal prosecution of
any Of the violators. They are only
fined II found guilty, and then turn
ed loose to rob the people OF the
amount of the fine. A few criminal
prosecutions OF these high toned vio-
lators Of the law would have a whole
some effect, and stop the troubles
complained of. To put few Harri-
mans, Fishes, Hills and their kind
behind the prison walls, where 9th
or criminals are sent, would have a
wholesome effect upon the violators
of the antitrust laws, and cause
their followers to have little res
pect for the rights of the people.

Mr.. ]. u, Burns, formerly of this
city, now located In Chicagos sends
the Panhandle very interesting ar
ticle, illustrated, clipped from one Of
the Chicago papers, The article Is
cleverly written story, OF a bet
supposed to have been made by one
John Candle, OF Amarillo, with Wal
ter ]. Clarke, a Chicago travelling
man, regarding the population of one
Of Chicago's great office buildings,
Mr.. Clarke, so the story goes. had
been telling OF some Of the big sky
scrapers of Chicago, to the wonder
ment OF some OF the countrymen In
the hotel and discussion arose as
to the size OF the Chicago mans lie'
He referred to the Monadnock build
ing, telling that more people worked
In that building than resided In ANA
rillo, and that It maintained Its own
government postoffice, which did ov-
err $1,000 business day, handling
10000 pieces OF mail daily, and sell
ing nearly 100000 in stamps yearly.
The story seemed so much like lie
That bet was made, and later the
Texan and some friends are supposed
to have gone to Chicago to verify
the bet.
