the Lobbyists.

An old rule Of the house has been
dug I'D and 1t is hoped that 1t may be
helpful in excluding lobbyists from
the floor. This rule requires that visi-
tors be confined to the galleries AMI
that the floor be reserved for the
members and their guests. At the
beginning of the session Hambleton
of Mahaska county presented a resell
ution %instructing the sergeant at arms
and the chief doorkeeper to see that
this rule IS obeyed. Speaker Kendall
called the W officers before him and
instructed them that the rule is not
instructed them accordingly.

Retrenehment In Committee Clerks.

The first fight In the house arose
over the question Of how many COM
mittee clerks should be employed. The
committee appointed to apportion
clerkships reported In favor OF en-
ploying thirty-seven. A minority re-
port favoring ffty.five was voted
down, as was also an amendment to
employ one for each committee. Dur
Ing the discussion the word graft
was frequently used, hut after the re-
rort had been amended to require
each clerk to be a competent steno-
grapher, It was adopted. Last
year the house had forty-eight com
mittee clerks.

SCENE AT KINGSTON, JAMAICA.
Daily Arizona silver belt., 1907-01-10
REAL RAILROAD REFORM

The tables of statistics inform us that for every two individuals injured in railroad travel in the United King dom, one hundred passengers are in jared in the United States. We killed and crippled in 1905 s7OO0. We beat that out of sight in 1906, and have started out to beat them both in 1907. lt the railroads had been half as care ful for the safety of the men, women and children they carried last year as they were of the cattle, sheep and hogs, the casualties would have been reduced at the least so per cent.
 If the American people were half as nsistent on preventing railroads from killing their passengers as they are in sistent on preventing them from rob bing their shippers, casualties would be reduced 90 per cent. Here were the president, the congress and pre,'s, the entire layout that make up this nation in an agony of soul all last session of congress to "regulate" freight traffic. What is required is campaign to "regulate" passenger traffic so that it may become little more hazardous to ride on a railroad train in this country in time of peace than it would be to 6arry musket in battle in time of war.
 Here is a job for your practical statesmen. We do not know what the remedy is; we do not know exactly where the fault lies; but when such n man as James J. Hill, perhaps the fore most railroad man the world has pro dueed, apprehends that he may meet the fate of Samuel Spencer any day he boards a railroad train, then it is time for action.
 Let us forget our money little while and look out for our lives.

GLOBE SOON A CITY

Globe will again be an incorporated i wn this week and the work which ' as begun several months ago to make obe better community in many , avs can again be taken up, with the ,surance that this time there will be 10 "busting" of incorporation by dis runtled citizens and taxpayers.
 The board of supervisors will prob ably receive the petition of the tax l ayers of the village of Globe today, ;,king for the disineorporation of the
 illage and the incorporation of the town: the petition will be granted and :. board of councimen will be appoint ed to serve until the election of their aecessors year from the coming spring,
 Ii is incumbent upon the board that they reappoint the same couneilmen which were appointed by the last board and it is very likely that they will do 10. The councilmen who were appoint .d when the town was incorporated last October worked hard and faithfully @ give Globe an efficient municipal gov eminent and the steps they took pre- ',ious to the dissolving of the ineorpora- rion bv a court order could hardly have been bettered. In some instances, of course, lack of experience caused them 10 take steps which they later found to be inadequate, but they showed a disposition at all times to do the right thing by all of the people

A LEARNED JUDGE

Judge Walter Evans, district judge at Louisville, Ky, has declared uneon- stitutional the employers liability act, enacted by congress last summer. This is the second time that the judge has collided with President Roosevelt and this time he will probably go.
 The decision of Judge Evans which provoked the indignation of the pres- dent and also of Attorney General Moody was in the case of the Order of Railway Photographers against the Louis vile X Nashville Railroad company. Jndge Evans decided in favor of the railroad company on the ground that section 10 of the act of congress of June l, 1896, under which the suit was brought, was void.
 Upon the publication of the presi- dent s message Henry l.. Stone, general counsel of the Louisville & Nashville railroad, came to the defense of Judge Evans in the newspapers. In an inter view Colonel Stone said:
 "There are many members of the le- gal profession throughout the country who would justly characterize such GOV ert attacks as the president has recently made upon the decision of able and con. servative judges by some other name than bravery. I do not believe that he should have gone ont of his way to reflect even indirectly upon a federal judge who, under his oath, has declared congressional statute, although sol emnly enacted, unconstitutional

The next chance Judge Evans had nt a law recommended by the president was the employers liability act, which he today declared unconstitutional.
 What is known as the employers lia- bility act was regarded as second m i'm portance only to the railroad rate iegis- lation of the last session. It attracted little public attention because of the greater popular interest in the rate bill. There was practically no discussion in congress regarding the merits of the bill, which was recommended by the president in his message and urged by labor unions.
 No sooner had the bill passed the sen ate than the railroad lawyers through out the country began to prepare to at tack it in the courts. It revolutionized all judicial procedure in railroad dam age cases where employees were con cerned, giving federal instead of state courts jurisdiction and making railroad companies responsible for damages through the neglect of any fellow ser want.
 The department of justice sent out a | raouast to all Tinted States district at torneys that in any case in which the constitutnoiality of this statute should be questioned the department of justice wished to intervene and enter an ap pearance.
