L. s. Senator John T. Morgan of Alabama occasionally writes maga- zine articles which involve great deal of research, but he uniformly refuses to accept pay for them. In the course of his public career he has been offered innumerable railroad passes, but never accepted any either for himself or any member of his family. Though over eighty years old, he thinks nothing of working half the night. The senator never haunts the departments looking for jobs for constituents. Of moderate means when he entered the senate, he is now poor man, having little or nothing but his salary.

For Boonvillo Bridge.

Senator Major Of this district intro.
duced a bill in the senate which 10 aimed
at stopping the practice Of the NJ. K. &
T. railroad front collecting IN arbitrary
rate OF IS cents for the transportation Of
passengers over the Boonville bridge
across the Missouri river.
His bill prohibits the collection by a
railroad company of greater fares for the
transportation Of passengers over any
bridge on the line Of the road than is
charged for transportation of passengers
over any part Of the line. 1t makes the
penalty a misdemeanor and applies to
any conductor or collectors as we'll as the
railroad who collect the fare.
Senator Major says that the railroad
owns nearly all the stock in the Boon.
willie Bridge company and no arbitrary
rate should be allowed. Different suits
have been filed to try to do away with
the arbitrary rate. but these have never
proved successful for the cases have got
lost in the federal courts.
This bill, Senator Major thinks, will
stand the lexa. seN to do away with the
Earbitrary r&s. This is the only bridge
lin the sraor where an arbitrary rate is
charged.
This bill is of great Importance to
Boonville as at present IN embargo of SO
cents is placed OF every man who comes
here from across the river.
| The Bill carries with il a penalty for
persons connected with the issuance Of
tickets for a failure to comply with the
law, a fine of not less 500 or more than
5000. or imprisonment for not less than
30 days or more than 9 months OF by
both such fine and imprisonment.
The Commercial Club is doing and
will do everything possible to help the
Eineasure to become a law, and it is be.
lieved it will pass without serions
opposition.
Mr. Nelson says that if in any way the
bill saouA fsif Of Eassage. he will if
possible tack it onto the 2 cent fare bill
and believes this will insure it bac@aning
a law, as he is confident that measure
will pass the House without trouble.

this privilege; pay nothing else, for the
result Of your labor 10 yours against the

To illustrate: my farm cost me five
hundred dollars, the improvements are

property Is one hundred; my tax IL six

tbeR I wish 70 help the slums and will

which il worth but five hundred dollars,
t,is law can not hurt a farmer, and the
value Of land every n can see, and As
this Jaw would much simplify govern
ment. the tax would be much reduced.
This value of privilege held by syndi-
Gates is called water. and a tax on 1t
should go to the "children Of men," Con-
slider this value we farmers have so little
Of, comparatively, that it is beneath the
notice Of monopolists; what they want is

NO peARrA OF HEROES.

In January, 1906. the Carnegie Hero
Fund commission found that there
was dearth OF heroes, no awards
having been made for three months.
The stories of the awards for heroic
acts in and around st. Louis, in recent
issues of the Post-Dispatch, seem to
show that no such complaint can be
made at this time.
With one or two exceptions, the
persons who have received medals or
grants of money from the $5,000000
Carnegie hero fund have performed
acts which. though heroic. have not
been especially spectacular In the
line of duty stimulated by no APP
p'auding public, men and women, boys
and girls, have risked their lives as
q matter o. course.
In a list of awards printed in 1906,
IL medals were awarded to persons
who had rescued others from drown
ing: three to persons who had rescued
others from railroad wrecks, at the
risk of their own lives; two for res
cues from bgrning buildings; two for
rescues from death by electricity; one
for, saving life in a mine and one from
9 fattlesnakc
In the case OF shipwreck there is
sometimes an opportunity for heroism
of the spectacular kind. Such was
the case OF Mark Casio, who lashed
to the wheel OF the steamer Cherokee
with nine companions of like mold
saved the lives of 55 persons and won
2 medal
Such opportunities, however do not
come to the average individual Non
are they necessary. The record shows
that heroism Is much more natural
than anyone would suppose. But be
cause il is natural, il Is none the less
honorable And whatever criticism
may be made on the Carnegie hero
fund, the fact that It is proving hero
ism to be a common human trait can
not fail 10 have a good effect.-St
Losis Post-Dispatch.

TAE EooL EnIroR MAN.

The editor Of the Leayenworth
Times is running for congress in the
first district and the editor of the
Lcavenworth Post is opposing him.
This is the way It always goes. News
paper men do not have much sense.
There Is not an editor in Kansas who
can command the support of the other
editors in his own town.
II lawyer in Ieayenworth were to
run for congress more than half the
other lawyers would support him sim
ply because he was lawyer. Suppose
a contractor in Leayenworth were to
run for congress, would the other con
tractor oppose him simply because he
was contractor Suppose a drug
gist would run for congress, would the
other druggists oppose him because he
was a druggist2 And yet editors keep
right on fighting eech other and then
bowling because editors can not get
anything. il is time we were getting
more sensible in such matters. An
EDITORS success in politics no more
takes business away from his compet-
itor than a lawyers success takes bus
mess away from other lawyers. The
editors, of all people, ought to stand
together.
Because the politicians know that
an editor can be depended upon to
fight every other editor they are ever
lastingly putting the gaff into the
newspaper business. Lawyers pro
tect each others business. The legis-
lature has been applauded for taking
the velvet out of the state printing
business. Yet the legislature turns
around and makes another salary
steal for lawyers, spending nearly as
much on the lawyers as was saved on
/ The printing More than half the
editors in the state have endorsed the
legal steal while they have also ap
laa&ded the regulation OF the oniy
oni,e In tho, state that belongs q
