Occasionally there is one who
objects to criticism against rail-
roads and other corporations on
the plea that if you s'cross" them
they will refuse to do anything to
develop the country. There has
been sufficient PRACTICAL demon
stration of the workings of corpo-
rations to prove conclusively that
they expand and reach out in pro-
portion to the benefits derived, crit
icism or no criticism. When a
public service corporation imposes
on a community, that community
will get substantial relief quicker
by sending up protest than by
quietly subsiding and bearing the
burden. The pet" theory is a
failure.

Here is some of the gospel ac-
cording to L. Bristow: "The
democratic machine in Missouri
says that Folk is a republican; the
republican machines in Wisconsin
and elsewhere say that La Toilette
is populist, and the machine in
Iowa says that Cummins is dem
ocrat. Nevertheless Folk is a dem
ocratic governor of Missouri, Cum
minis the republican governor of
Iowa, and LaFollette a republican
senator from Wisconsin. They
are all men of integrity, who be-
heve that the duty of a public Off
Ger is to serve the people and not
the corporate interests, and that is
the reason they are reviled by the
machines in the respective states. -

Usually the sympathy of this
paper is with the strikers but it ap-
pears to us that the telegraphers
strike which has been on the past
week is senseless, unprovoked and
works greater hardship on the
operators than on the company.
There is no reason why the entire
union should walk out because one
man was discharged on account of
his own insolence and carelessness.

Henry Allen is getting into an
awkward position in the Wichita
city fuss. The fight between the
Beacon and the Eagle is at the
boiling point and yet the Beacon
has to shout for Congressman Muir
dock. Henry is denoupcing the
Murdocks as a set of grafters in city
affairs but supports them as en-
blems Of purity in congressional
affairs. 1t is hard to understand
how a CRATER in the city govern
ment becomes a saint when he
goes to Washington.

For once there is a mutual feel
ing between Senator Foraker and
the democratic party. The Sena-
tor in a recent political confab ex-
pressed his delight over the fad
that he was never nominated OF
endorsed by the democratic party.
Every democrat in America con-
cedes that in this instance Senator
Foraker has spoken the truth.

ANOTHER GUN ACCIDENT,
In Which Ralph Allen Loses
Part of His Foot.

Ralph Allen, eldest son OF Rev.
Jacob R Allen, lost two toes by the
accidental discharge OF a shot gun
on Saturday. Together with his
brother Glenn and Gordon Bennett,
he was hunting near the new iron
bridge over the Miami southwest Of
town. They had scattered a nice
covy OF quail and Ralph had about
exhausted his amunition, having one
shell left in his repeating gun, when
a number OF ducks came over and lit
in the creek. Ralph stopped to con.
slider whether he would risk his last
shell on the ducks or try another
quail, and had rested she muzzle Of
hisg on his loot. One OF the 9th
er boys flushed a quail and as 1t
came by Ralph's head, he made an
effort to raise his gun and In his
hurry touched the trigger. The load
tore its way through his foot and
even the sole of his shoe. His boy
companions got Ralph into the
buggy and started for home. On the
way they stopped at farm house,
and with the assistance Of the good
woman, made temporary dressing
and checked the flow OF blood. Drs.
Icy and Chastaine amputated the
middle toes and gave the wound
proper medical attention.
Ralph Allen recently won the dis
tinction to represent the Butler
High School In the oratorical con.
test at Rich Hill next Saturday
night, and the fact that he will be
unable to attend Is giving him great
concern.
