SHOOT US.

The Moscow Post certainly holds
the blue ribbon as side stopper. Mr..
Fields, the youthful editor, started out
a few weeks ago to defend the Western
Federation Of Miners, and wrote an
editorial in extenuation OF the criminal
record OF that organization. The News
took issue with the Post, and Editor
Fields ducked and with a beautiful
side-step came back with an article on
What we print" in which he accused
the News Of aping the Yellow Jacket,
a very sarcastic republican paper Of
Morvian Falls, S c. Mr.. Fields was
unable to defend his first osition and
so he lodged. The News then answer
ed the uncalled for slur that Mr.. Fields
had thrown out and George again
ducked, and with enc OF those artistic
side-steps that he has acluixed by long
association with his political friends,
wrote another editorial in which he
told the people that Peter LaDow
circuit" was jealous. Those who read
our reply know whether or not "Ps ter
LaDow Orcutt' met the question that
Mr.. Fields had raised. At any rate
it is quite evident that Mr.. Fields found
himself treading on such delicate
ground that he shut up like a clam,
and ducked in way that is certainly
amusing. We would not think Of sug-
costing that our friend Fields is not
capable OF writing a reply. He GER
tainly is very smart young man. He
is lawyer, in act, and t. en- ein has a
training that ought to enable him with
one single swipe to knock the News
editor into smithereens. Mr.. Fields
has even assured US II at he has the
ability to annihilate an adversary with
one single swipe OF mis- vitriolic pen.
He says he did it in the campaign
last fall. But with all this he passed up
the matter with the alacrity Of one who
has picked up hot brick. He 81
lently admitted that possibly the News
editor was not jealous after all. And
by his silence he practically admitted
that he dare not reply. He practically
admitted that the News was right.
But what does he dor Just as he did
before. Begged the question and
threw out another dirty insinuation in
which he tried to make out that The
News was attacking the present county
officials. The News editor has no
personal feeling against Mr.. Fields.
We prefer to be on friendly terms with
him. But if he has reached that point
where it is sin to comment on one
OF his editorials, and that editorial de-
Tense of a gang OF notorious criminals,
then we will, as a certain republican
politician has suggested, let the little
fellow alone. If he is so tender, if his
editorial opinions are so sacred, if their
author is so Immaculate thai it becomes
a sin to take honest issue with him, no
one is more sorry than we are that we
have transgressed the pure and heaven
ly atmosphere in which he has his ex-
istence. We beg his pardon a thous-
and times. We deserve to be taken
out and shot. Get out of the way
while we sneak away never to return.

TERMS.
A DELAYED REFORM.

The Iowa Railway club at its meet
ing in Des Moines a few DAYS ago
brought up and discussed the nuis-
ance and danger of drunken men on
\ passenger trains. 1t was stated that
Il the nuisance is growing and aside
from the damages sometimes thrown
upon the railway companies the club
expressed it's concern over the per-
sonal danger to trainmen and passen-
gers. An attorney for the Rock Island
was present at the meeting and in
formed the trainmen that they were
| empowered by law to suppress drunk
! en- and riotous passengers by force.
and that such should be put off the
train at the first stop and turned over
| to the marshal or police force. 1t was
concluded to interest travelling men
and others in a crusade against
"drunks" on trains and ask the CO.
operation of the newspapers.
Why crusade? To what purpose?
The newspapers and the travelling men
have always been openly pronounced
in their destestation Of the conditions
that have prevailed whenever drunk
en- obscene and profane brute made
himself an annoyance and an Insult to
every decent person in the smoking
car. where he generally casts his per-
formance. Enough has been said.
What does the Railway club want
Whose business is it according to their
own attorney to abate this vile nuis-
Eance? The lawyer says In effect use
such force as is needed. Put him off
the train and into the hands of Off
GERS" That is the train mans busi-
ness Why doesn't he do it?
Every man who travels to any ex-
Mt has had his eyes, ears and nose
ended and outraged by uncontrolled
runks, Few have not ridden past
,tion after station while brute
led UP and down the aisle and
touted filth to another or a. gang Of
runkards. Occasionally some sober
passenger rises in his wrath and does
precisely what the train men are
there for, chucks the fellow in the cor
ner Of seat and threatens to break
his head IL he doesn't behave himself
But it is mighty seldom that a con-
ductor or any other in authority lays
a restraining hand on this dangerous
and well nigh unbearable nuisance.
There is no occasion for a crusade
The men in charge Of the train know
what ought to be done and whose duty
1t is to perform an unpleasant but
salutary task. They are empowered
to use force. They should not shrink
a plain duty but make for their trains
q reputation that will effectually deter
the ruffian, who goes to the wet"
town to get drunk and ride home in
the role of bad man, from getting
aboard the special train whose con-
ductor gets them" 1t won't take long.
An example or two in these cases is
generally effective.

THE RAILROADS IN 1906.

Advance figures of statistics Of
railways Just issued by the interstate
commerce commission for the year
1906 shows from reports of railways
enger per mile for the year ending
June 80, 1906, was 2002 cents. For the
preceding years the average was 1862
cents. Joining these reports to the
claims of coniscation being urged
against the operation of a law that
while compelling all travellers not en-
ployed by the roads to pay cash fare,
places the selling price Of passenger
transportation at cents, ordinary per.
sons will wonder where the great loss
comes in. Two cent fare is thou
sandthes of cent mile under the av-
erage reported by the roads for 1906
and SO ttousandths over the average
of 1905.
The reported number of persons on
the pay rolls Of the railways in the
United States on June go, 1906, was
1921 1856, which is equivalent to an av-
erage of 6s4 employees per 100 miles
Of line. These figures show an increase
in the number Of employees as COM
pared with the year 1905, of 1879, 159, or
AZ per 100 miles Of line. OF the en-

$146,275,113 more than in 1905.
The average revenue per ton per
mile was 0.74S cent; the like average
for the year 1905 was 0.766 cent. The
earnings per train mile show an in
crease both for passenger and for
freight trains. The figures show an in
crease in the average cost of running
a train one mile. The ratio of operat-
ing expenses to earnings for the year
