sMoks evIcrs A TENANT.
Curious Procedure Seen on a Farm
In Kent, England.


London. Goose farm, Broad Oak,
Canterbury, was the scene Of some
curious eviction proceedings.
A county court bailiff went to the
farm to persuade the tenant, A, w.
Minter, to quit, in accordance with tho
terms OF notice which had been
served upon him. The tenant replied
by barricading his doors. Thereupon
the bailiff had the windows boarded
up on the outside and the chimneys
stopped.
Finding that the occupants Of the
farmhouse showed no sign of capitula-
tion. the bailiff decided upon more
forcible measures.
BY means of drain tester. con.
coction of tar twine and cayenne pep
per, he sought to smoke them out.
From II o'clock until three evil smell
Ing fumes were steadily pumped into
the building.
Then the barricades were suddenly
removed from the front door and the
farmer, accompanied by his mother
and little terrier, appeared on the
threshold They we're cheered by a
huge crowd of villagers and visitors
from Canterbury.
The bailiff and the occupants of the
farm shook hands with great hearti.
ness. and the crowd cheered again as
the new tenant stepped across the
threshold of the hardly-won citadel.

IL no merit in the enterprise of a stable
keeper in locking the door after thief has
carried off the best animal in the barn.
In this city especially 1t is decidedly late
for hospital authorities TO acknowledge
that unbarred windows in wards occupied
by delirious patients are dangerous. Re-
peatedly such windows have been the cause
OF deaths. Time and again men and wom-

Tie Office IS not in line OF promotion for
Mr.. Burton. nor is there any reason why
he should stand for It on It's own account.
His place in Congress. while not especially
influential IS T. hiI taste and he fills It
very well. Why should he not remain there
until Gubernatoral or senatorial nom
ination becomes tempting?
The mayOralty of Cleveland is ar office of
Importance There go with it both patron
age and prestige, Cleveland IL the largest
city In the state. and control OF 1t politically
counts in the state equation. Tom Johnson
has in some way secured wonderfully
strong hold theresa very strong that In
this Burton maneuver the republicans con-
fess themselves reduced to the necessity of
putting up their leading man against him.
If anybody can defeat Mr. Johnson. Mr..
Burton. they believe rs the man.
Mr Burton N the city hall at Cleveland
would he much to the good for Taft.
His power as a Taft manager would be
augmented and he would use his full power
for his presidential favorite. He might. In
deed become mauager-in-chief of the Taft
boom. not to mention the likelihood of his
case Of Judge Taft's election. Many con-
sidecations are entering into this play.
But will 1t help Mr. Burton to be known

being faulty. In the Illinois case the sin
gle-track system Is protected by a series
of telephone stations. two miles apart No
system of signaling, 1t is plain, will over
come the objections to the single-track
method of transportation in these days of
high speed and frequent trains. The ele-
ment of danger increases with the service.
and the possibility of lapse Of memory
or fault of judgment is always imminent.
A state legislature. state railroad COM
mission or municipal government that
grants charter or license to a trans
portation company to operate sngle-track
line assumes a tremendous responsibility.
However, the corporation accepting such
a charter or license Is not relieved Of its
own responsibility for taking chances with
the lives Of its passengers in the opera
t'on OF a single-track line. Nor can 1t
justly shift the blame for disaster upon
its operatives. 1t is primarily guilty Of
criminal negligence in failing to provide
double tracks. and the sooner the laws
definitely recognize this accountability
with statutes which permit the punishment
OF directors and managers for disasters due
to economical methods Of construction or
operation the more speedily will the travel
ing public be relieved Of it's present menace
of death and disablement on the one-track

One-Track Death Traps,

The other day a passenger train and
an express car on an electric line collided
head-on near Mattoon. III. Nineteen per-
sons We're killed and sixty others were
seriously hurt. coroner's jury has in
vestigated the disaster and held the motor
man OF one of the cars responsible for
the collision. The chief dispatcher Of the
system has already killed himself in con-
sequence of the remorse experienced by
him after the accident. Nothing however,
is said in the dispatches regarding the
management of the line as to its RESPONSE
bility for maintaining a high-speed service
for both passenger and express require
ments upon single track line.

occurred recently near this city. A pas

Shortsightedness of Trusts

There may be doubt as to the entire wis
dom OF some OF the utterances OF adrntn,s-
tration officials regarding the present cam
paign against the trusts. There NAV he
nouoi also as to the safety OF continual
hammering while the financial conditions
are somewhat shaky and confidence is dis
iuroed and panic conditions are menacad
But on the other hand there can be no
doubt whatever OF the folly OF some Of the
trust magnates in their attitude toward the
government and therefore toward the peo-
pie, In meeting the charges brought against
Them. Take for an example the answer filed
Wy the Reading railroad TO the govern
ment's bill OF complaint charging a conspir-
Rcy In restraint OF trade in the mining and
Bellfng of hard coal. In the face of the
fragrant fact that the hard-coaI price Is
Sgidly determined by a combination OF Cor
porations, dominated chiefly by the Read
ing. fact patent to every person who has
the least acquaintance with the conditions
in this trade, which is discounted by every
coal dealer and every large consumer. which
has been established again and again In the
course Of the labor troubles in eastern
Pennsylvania. this defendant enters gen.
Egal denial and then passes on to specifics.
