| Mount is making an effort to OBJ
tain a new trial. He is under $4,000
bail in the meantime.
Emilson. it is said, is to begin a
case for damages for the loss Of his
arm. Mount has a homestead.
/, The famous JOS Phillips case is
on. Joe, it will be remembered fell
in love with the little twelve-year.
old daughter OF Noftsinger at Ken.
mare a few years ago and wanted to
marry her. The father objected, but
Joe won the mothers consent and
so a marriage license was secured.
The fact that Joe had robbed the
cradle always stuck in the old mans
craw and there were numerous family
jars. One day the child-wife would
think that Joe was the best fellow ON
earth, and the next she would pine
for her parents and go home.
The father tried to create a good
deal Of trouble and on several differ
ent occasions, he coaxed his daugh-
er to come home. Once he kept her
against her will and she wrote Joe a
letter. The letter was produced in
court, and in it the child wife told
her husband She wanted him to come
after her and take her with him. She
said her father was keeping her
against hef will. She told Joe to be
careful for her father would shoot,
so Joe loaded for bear the night he
went after, his wife. Joe went to the
door and the old man came to the
door The old man sure enough was
looking f61. bear himself and it is
claimed that he opened fire on his
unruly son-in-law. At any rate Joe
was shot thru the jaw and his left
eye was shot out Joe still had his
good right optic left, and with it he
pointed his gun at the old mans leg.
The bullet went thru that member and
the old fellow dragged himself out of
the way of further danger. The case
hinges on the point whether Joe Or
the old man shot first. 1t looks as
|tho Joe got in his work second, for
the point of entry of the bullet which
penetrated the old mans leg. is be-
low the point of exit This shows
that Joe was lying down when he
shot.
1t is said that some salacious evil
dence will be brot out in the trial
which will not show Noftsinger up in
a ve"y unfavorabe light and it is
limited that the end is not yet.

Now at the end Of 4 quarter of a
century in public life. during which
his salary has averaged aboat $4,000
a year, Senator Foraker finds himself
recognized as one Of the richest men
in the senate. His expenses in Wash

$4,000 year the while, but by -she

the reason we did not meet one face

stead of counting residents they VIII
count policemen and insist Oh this

would respectfully suggest that 50

not necessary that either Editor C1f-

formed. This would give visitosss

NOW FOR BUSINESS.

| Now that the senatorial fight is
over there seems to be no reason why
the legislature should not at once get
| down to work. AS a rule when a sem
ator is to be elected, little is accom-
plished during the first two weeks of
the legislative session, but that ought
not to be the case this year. Already
a considerable number of important
bills have been introduced, and the
sooner the legislature gets to work on
them. the better.
One of the great disadvantages of
our legislatures in the past has been
that the calendar has been flooded
with measures of minor Importance,
many of them mere local bills, and
much time has been taken up in their
passage. In the meantime the
weightier matters of legislation have
accumulated before the committees.
and the last week of the session
usually sees a considerable number of
the most important measures still
upon the calendar. The limit of fifty
days is reached and everybody is in
hurry to go home. AS a result, i'm
portant legislation is rushed through
in poor shape and without due consid-
Grafton. lockers" are slipped into
that they are imperative. Many
meritorious measures die upon the
calendar.
This year for the first time the
purely local bill has been eliminated
or. at least it should be. for the con-
stitutional amendment intended for
that purpose was adopted at the re-
cent election. This ought to save
much valuable time and expedite the
legitimate business of the legislature.
Besides that, several of the impor-
tant matters that are up for action
this winter have been freely discussed
for months, and the members ought
to be pretty well informed on them.
This being true, the amount of time
wasted in their consideration ought to
be comparatively short.
1t is to be hoped that definite work
on these important bills will begin
early in the session and pushed along
to a passage some time before the
closing week of the legislature, so as
to obviate the hurry and the mistakes
that sometimes occur.

jo.ntists. Which is assuredly COM
mendable. Somebody at some time in
ACES past promulgated the mistaken
idea that the way to deal with a certain
class OF law-breakers is to go around
and notify them to stop law-breaking
Indeed, there be some who have such
an erroneous notion OF such things that
they say it would not be fair to the
poor jointist to prosecute him without
giving him fair warning beforehand
that he NUT be good. Just as though
the. law itself doesn't give him that
warningI There would be just as much
sense in warning a burglar that he will
be arrested if he doesn't stop burglary.
The way to warn jointists is to prose-
cute them as fast as the evidence is
secured against them. and 1t is the
only warning they will heed.

woman telegraph operator in south
western Kansas prevented a wreck, by
the use of presence of mind and the
telephone. In the course of that clip
ping occurred this sentence: Had she
been an ordinary operator, she wouio
have sat stupidity. while the trains
dashed toward each other, relying on
the fact that she did not issue the or
ders and could not be held RESPONSE
BILE for the inevitable wreck"
A reader of the State Journal, himsell
an operator, very naturally takes ex-
ceptions to this rather broad state
ment "Such an implication as the
above" he says. sis an injustice and
an insult to a large number of hard
working and intelligent men. The OPP
orator working at even the smallest
station on a main line has tremendous
responsibilities, of which he is fully
aware. And a more wide-awake, care
any profession have personally
known of a number of instances where
the GOODNESS and presence of mind of
the operator has prevented serious
accident, of which the public knows
nothing, the details being known only
to the officials, for obvious reasons.
Being an operator myself, may feel
and resent the injustice more keenly
than the average citizen. The State
Journal has always stood for a square
deal for all and I feel confident it VIII
do all that is possible to correct such
a manifestly unjust statement"
The point is we'll taken. This paper
assuredly does not subscribe to the OBJ
jectionable sentence quoted from the
comment. Everyone knows that tele-
graph operators as a class are exceed
ingly careful. Their business and the
responsibility that goes with it make
them SO. The careless operator is the
exception, and the reason that he gets
into the limelight as he does is be-
cause even his rare instances of care
lessness sometimes bring such disas-
trous consequences that they attract
wide attention.
On the other hand the hundreds of
instances where the operator averts
disaster by his care and thoughtfulness
are never known. Such things are part
of the days work with the operator.
Probably the case of the girl who pre-
vented the wreck down southwest
would not have erept into the public
prints had it not happened just after
another operator-the exeeption-had
contributed to a wreck by his care
lessness. And the girl. rather than the
careless operator, is the real type of
the operator as class.
