Chairman Tom Taggart OF the Dem.
ocratic National Committee says he
Is getting tired of the Democrats al.
ways sucking the hind tit" or words
to that effect and he has n brand new
idea all his own and that is for the
Democrats to wait until the Republi.
cans have set the date for their Ma.
tionni convention, say about June
10th, then get his comnIlttee together
and fix the date for the Democratic
convention about ten days earlier.
Chairman Tom says the Democrats
have gotten into the habit OF follow.
ing the Republicans and waiting for
them to lead OFF in everything until
people think they can't 20 ahead and
run things on an Independent basis.
He thinks 1t would make the popu.
lace sit up and take notice II the
Democrats would step right up ten
days ahead OF the Republicans. make
their platform, nominate their candi.
date and cut loose on their campaign
regardless. And the Honorable Tom
deserves some credit for such n think
as that. 1t shows II spirit of indie.

we reproduce It herewith In the inter

their local editors or newspapers. The
editorial is as follows: I
A little good will before Christmas

At the risk OF being a little ahead Of

readers not to save all their Christmas
good will for their families and
friends.
Already on one side OF the store
counters crowds Of restless and impa.
tlent shoppers are searching for
Christmas presents. On the other side
hundreds Of men and women are piling
and unpiling- stocks OF goods, patiently
answering questions. restraining =
natural desire to be impairment In
reply TO impertinence, and altogether
having very unpleasant and nerve
taxing experience.
We ask Ill readers to do their sho..

ahead of the rush, and try TO make
things a little easier for the clerks
and s%alesDeople by being as polite as
they expect those who serve them to
be.
This is the time OF year the EN-.

with dread.

80 KILLED AND IS INJURED
Passenger Trains on the Rock
island System Crash together.

Two white men, negro train
porter and about thirty Mexican
laborers lost their lives and fifty
five persons were injured when
two passenger trains on the Chic
AGO, Rock Island railroad, collid-
ed, head-on four miles west of
Nollaud, Kan, Wednesday morn
ing.
Officials of the company place
the blame on John Lynes, Il nine
teen year-old telegraph operator
at Nolland, who failed to stop No.
%. after receiving orders to hold
it until No. 30 had passed. Lynes
was arrested.
BY the light of the II am n q
wreckagc. the passengers who
were uniniured. worked hero
idally to save those pinned beneath
the splintered timbers and twisted
iron work. I'm an hour and a half
from the time of the wreck the
first relief train from Nc Farland
Kansas, bringing surgeons and
helpers. reached the scene. An
other relief train from Topeka and
two wrecking trains soon arrived.
Two injured MeXicans died on
their way to Topeka. and Link,
the negro porter, died at st. Or
mond Hospital shortly after being
taken there. 1t was necessary to
tear his left lee from his body to
eXtricatc him from the wreckagc.
Five minutes before the two
trains crashed together. operators
for hundreds of miles along the
Rock Island system knew that the
collision was certain. as Lynes had
wired from Nolland that he had
let No. 20 pass, but that there was
no earthly means of preventing
the disaster.
