Borah Is Not Pleased.
In an interview hero United States
Senator W. E. Borah expressed himself
as not being very well pleased with the
work of the session of the Legislature
Just closed. He especially regrets the
defeat Of his direct primary bill and
saws it will be made an issue two years
hence. Mr., Borah contends the Repub"
lican State platform declaration was
for direct primary law, while Sent
tor Hepburn contends that it was for
primary election law. The Democrats
voted with those advocating the Borah
idea in the Legislature, but the Nor
mon bishops and their Republican
chums were afraid it would put them
out of business politically in this State
and they voted against tho measure.
The Governor has signed the bill ap.
propriating $4,000 for the completion of
the Atlanta wagon road, to be used
for that purpose providing the people
along the said road and at Atlanta
raise like amount for the work.

CONGRESSMAN MURPHY
REMEMBERS OLD DAYS
Once a Telegraph Operator; He
Was Their Champion on
Service Bill.
Special to The Tribune.

Special TO The Tribune.
WASHINGTON, March 1O.-Would
you like to know how it was that
champion arose in Congress for the
overworked telegraph operators and
train dispatchers1 Go back over eight
ply Of Missouri, and your questions will
be answered. When the hours of rail
way service bill came to the fore, even
the astute La Toilette failed to make
special provision for operators and dis
patchers. But Murphy had good reason
from his own experience to remember,
and he was quick enough to see that n
sixteen-hour limitation, while it might
be step in advance for trainmen,
would not mean respite for those over
worked dispatchers and operators,
whose wearied nerves imperil thou
sands.
So Murphy kept after the House Com
mittee on Commerce and he was roy
ally helped by Townsend of Michigan,
until he secured the provision that
operators in day and night Offices
should be required to work but nine
hours in twentyfour, while those in
day Offices are required to work thIr-
teen hours in twentyfour. And Muir
ply has kept right after his goal. That
he has touched n popular chord is evi-
denced by the hundreds of kilograms
which have reached Congressman on
this question during the closing days
of the session.
Began at the Bottom
Murphy began life as an operator.
He worked at his key for $3.50 per
month to start with, and he did more
sweeping and handling freight and
baggage than telegraphing. During the
course of eight long years he succeeded
in working up to the munifcent salary
Of $50 per month. And when he quit
he could not have returned to his home
had he not been provided with n pass,
so Strengthened were his finances. The
only thing that saved him from spend
ing all his days in just that sort of
drudgery was that he persisted in stu
dying law, and that he had father In
whose law Office he could complete his
studies. And Murphy solemnly a
clares that the telegraphers of ans
country simply cannot come to Wash
ington to seek remedial legislation be,
cause the railroads pay them too little
to permit of such cxtravagapce. And
that is just the reason that Murphy,
now a lawyer and Congressman, but
once a $40-per- month operator, took up
the cudgel in their behalf

 As soon as It was out of sight and sound Blackie and Whitie once more ven- tured to start for home. They were so weak from fright that they could scarcely keep their balance and trot along. Quiet ly they went and their little hearts beat high with hope as they neared the bright line of light that they knew to be the open country, the space that led Into their own dear meadow where their aba had been left sleeping.
 But they were not yet ''out of the woods," as goes the old saying. And as they were making all possible haste towards safety. most horrible noise as of a rough tongue grating on metal sounded at their right and their left Both looked instantly in the direction of the awful sounds and saw sight which caused them to drop to earth

But he hardly knew just what to say to his grandfather about destroying his books, and adroitly turned the subject Say. grandpapa," he began, since you can't tell me about your own boyhood. nor about Abraham Lincoln, s'pose you tell me about the time your father and mother-when you were a little baby-were almost taken prisoners by the Indians. I'd love to hear that again, for I've almost forgot It.
 No, that would be Indian history" ex- plained grandpapa. And we must not touch upon anything of the past, for that is history. And you are supposed to study nothing"
 But that wouldn't be study" protested Harry. You'd tell 1t to me and I'd listen"
 Its one form of learning" said grand papa You'd lenrn from my recital just as you would from books. So, that's forbidden thing"
 Harry began to grow nervous. It seemed there was little of interest to talk about that did not pertain to his tory. Well, he would give up he pleas ure of hearing of the past. He'd ask grandpapa about things of the present. He rummaged about in hs mind for something to talk about Just then an automobile went dashing past on the road in front of the house. Harrys in- quistive mind found relief.
 "Grandpapa. how do they make cleo trlcity ?-Is 1t different from the light ming we see flashing in the sky?"

 Harry was not long In fetching the text book grandpapa had asked for. and laid 1t on the old gentleman's knee. Grand papH took Tt up. opened the pages and began to scan them. Then suddenly he closed the book, saying; But you hate school-which means learning. and thls would be teaching you a history lesson So. We must not open thls book. Your dis- like for study forbids us to do so.''
 "Oh, but grandpapa, I want to hear about Abraham Lincoln" protested Harry.
 Grandpapa shook his head. No, son, you are excused from lessons today, and I must not turn teacher. You wish there was no such thing ns school. Were there no schools you would never have learned to read. If you could not read you would not have books. The past would be Il sealed mystery to you, and mystery to all people were there no learning-no schools and books and lessons. So. since you do not care 10 learn we must destroy your books, for they are nseless'

They were out of sound of the commotion and were beginning to feel safe once more when a hissing noise fell on their ears The sounds chilled their blood, and they in voluntarily doubled up as with stomach ache. Then they hid In the hollow of great nearby tree, holding their breath lest they be discovered by some other horrible beast. They dld not conceal themselves a moment too soon, for almost immediately there was the cracking of brush and dead leaves and past their hiding place went q huge creature that caused them both to feel that their end had surely come.

 "Harry!" called a voice, 'come. it's time for school" At the sound of his mothers voice Harry-the playful little great grandson of the dreaming old man on the porch-came reluctantly from his play with hoop, ball and dog. to the porch, answering his mother who was in the house, and who had called to him from an open window.
 But as Harry came upon the porch his face indicated that all Joy had gone from him, for he dropped his head and thrust out his under lip In a decided bout.
