TO STENOGRAP HER
Man Gave Note to Induce
Girl Not to Attend Dances
or Parties.

ALLENTOWN, Pa. Jan. s.-Judge
TreXler has refused to declare invalid
the judgment note OF 81 600 given by
Levi II. Kleckner. a wealthy real estate
dealer, 10 his stenographer. Miss Mary
Geiser. who has since left his employ
and become the wife Of Martin Van
Buren, Raber.
Mrs. Raber is an attractive young wo-
man, and while in KIeckners employ,
prior TO her marriage, he gave her the
Judgment note in consideration OF her
abstinence from card parties, straw
rides. dances and other social functions,
and conditional that she attend her
church and Sunday school regularly.
Later this note was substituted with
another for a like amount. but when
Miss Geiser left his EMPLOY. KIeckner
contested its payment. Judge Trexler
declared there was no evidence of
fraud, iEasIauch as Kleckner, when be

have IL recorded. and went so far as TO
inclose his photograph and send her to
the courthouse TO have IL entered.
Kleckner declares that he will spend

As to Free Lectures.

With an appropriation of $500
these things were accomplished in
the free lecture season of 19O4-5:
Sixty-six lectures were given on
popular subjects TO average audi
ences of 239, and total attendance
OF 15,7ss. The average cost of the
course per person was 9.5 cents
In the season of I905-6 these things
were accomplished:
Seventy-twO lectures were given
TO average audiences of POS, and a
total attendance of 1926. The aver
age cost of the course per person
was 7.02 cents.
This is the system which it is now
proposed to abandon. 1t may not
have been well organized as To sub
iects, and il should never have been
conducted ostensibly by the school
authorities without actual control
by them. But those defects-if they
have existed-can be corrected with
out sacrificing the good which such
lectures may do. Rather the course
ought 10 be duplicated by a special
series of pedagogical lectures for
the benefit of teachers, and both be
directed by the Board of Education.

Let Texas Get the Facts.

Joseph W. Bailey, one of the most
capable members of the United
States Senate, is before the Legis-
lature of Texas for reelection.
Charges involving his probity have
been sounded about the State for
months, their most conspicuous
sponsor being the attorney general
of the Commonwealth.
The interest of the nation. as well
as the interest OF the State iof
Texas. requires that authoritative
findings shall be reached as to the
substance of the accusations against
this man, one of the first statesmen
of our time. Choice must be made
by the State Legislature between
him and some other on January %
In the meantime, it is the duty of
the Legislature-out of common
fairness 10 Mr.. Bailey and decent
regard for the nation in whose Con-
gress he has taken so prominent a
part-tO determine whether or not
the charges have basis in fact.
There Is time enough, and no other
course viii satisfy.

Alias, Children, here we have the
Blith-er-ing Idiot, have we not? To
be sure We have. The Blith-er-ing
Idiot is the Person who comes in
Late at the The-a-ter and then Talks
and Whispers and Gig-gles all
through the Performance. Just as
the Heroine is Putting a Flower
on the He-ro's Grave. the Blith-er-
ing Idiot Gig-gles and Whispers,
"Her Grandson has just got Mar
ried" or "She has a Glass Eye"
Now these things knock all the sweet
Sentiment out of the Play for us.
Sometimes the Blith-er-ing Idiot
says in a Siren Whisper, "The
Heroine Mar-rieS the Butler after
the Hero Chokes to Death on A
Piece of Tripe." Now this Simply
gives away the Plot and Spells the
Whole Thing for us. The Blith-er-
ing Idiot ought to be Sentenced to

Hours of Railroad Workers.

Senator Patterson of Colorado

the Senate that the railroad en-
ployes' interest was not the primary
one 10 be consulted in the considera-
ton of the bill to limit hours of
continuous service! u suspect" he
said. 'that this measure is rather
unpopular than popular with en-

overwork himself when away from

ondary to the travelling public's
safety. The strongest arguments
against this and other safety legis-
1ation thus far offered are. in sub
stance. that il might interfere with

dends as now, and that it might pre-
vent employees earning quite so
much as at present.

Judge Gaynor's Idea.

Judge Gaynor would cure the
evils of railroading by having the
Government select the general
freight agents OF all the railroads.
The general freight agent of a
railroad may or may not make its
rates. Such as he makes, are made
under the direction Of and in CO.
operation with the other executive
powers Of the road. The rates must
earn reasonable returns, and reason
able returns can be estimated only
on full knowledge of the entire sit
uation of the property-its ex-
penses, debt, capital stock, physical
circumstances, prospects, etc. More
over, a Government freight agent
for each road would restore compe-
tition in a way that would be worse
than its absence.
When the Government assumes
the real power of rate making
which il has by no means done as
yeti viii have to place the MAX
ing of all rates in the control of one
central authority. 1t will have to
determine general policies, TO lay
down broad principles. These being
established, the making of the in
dividual rates will be a simple mat
ter OF detail.
The man who makes the rates
largely determines the income of
the road. But he doesn't determine
what shall be done with that in
come. Behind him are the auditor,
the comptroller, the treasurer, the
disbursers, who must be kept from
disbursing any of the money again
as rebates. The schemes of paying
rebates are SO numerous that prob
ably not half of them have Vet been
discovered. The most honest and
conscientious freight agent on earth
could not prevent favOritism among
shippers if his road wanted to dis
play it.
Should Judge Gaynor's general
freight agents be instructed to fix
rates that would earn returns on
the billions Of watered stock? That
would be the first question. No
body but Congress can settle ii, and
it can be settled only one way.
There must be an end of stock
watering. That is at the bottom
of the whole rate question.
The power that makes rates must
be also vested with authority to
determine on what valuation re-
turns are 10 be earned. Until the
Interstate Commission is given pow
er to make a valuation of the rail
roads for this purpose. its power
over rates, small as il now is and
utterly inadequate, will be practical
" useless. Meanwhile. a multiplie-
ity of Government freight agents
would only produce confusion worse
