know Hyland can beat them both.
Corbett would be decidedly easy. Hy-
land beat him in five rounds in Den

than that"
According to a dispatch from Reno,
Kohl is quoted as saying that there
is no chance for Hyland to fight be-
cause he objects to the personality
of McClintic. This statement has sent
the redheaded manager high in the
air. He said:
Kohl wired that he was perfectly
willing to promote the match in case
I could agree with Pollok. Then Pol
lok was satisfied on at least a $4,000
purse. Why this sudden change? 1t
looks as if Kohl wanted to get out
and takes this as the easiest way"

HE IS COMING
The Boy Phenomenon Prevailed
Upon to Come to Marion.

Negotiations which have been on
foot for some time with view to
induce the Boy Phenomenon to give
a series of public exhibitions in heal
ing the afflicted of Marion and vlcin-
ity and then, II sufficient interest was
manifested, TO have him open an
office here where those who wished
to pay for private treatment could
be accommodated, have finally been
successful. In fact, the inducements
held out were so various, and so many
desired private treatment, that the
management felt JUSTIFIED In not only
promising to give their public exhi-
bitiens but to open an office for the
Iaccommodatin those who preferred
to pay for private treatment, rather
than be cured free upon the public
stage.
Accordingly, apartments were Sc
cured at the Majestic Hotel for Of
fees, and he will be introduced to
the publ.c first at he Grand opera
mousse on next Monday and Tuesday
nights, where those who wish to ac-
cept his generous offer of free treat
ment, may present themselves. The
most serious chronic cases that have
failed to receive any benefit from
Iother methods of cure, are invited to
put his healing power to- the severest
test possible, especially those on
crutches and canes. in wheel chairs,
the deaf, lame, rheumatic, paralyzed
and crippled, will be given preference
and treated first
After the public clinics at the opera
house, where admission and treatment
are entirsly free, he can be consulted
at his offices at the Hotel Majestic,
by those who are able and willing to
Ipay for private personal treatment.

A POOR MANS MECCA

That western Kansas is the Mecca
of the poor as we'll as many of those
In better circumstances, is shown by
the following hard-luck story in the
Mankato Advocate:
Maybe you think your lines are
pretty hard. Well, you ought to have
seen the family which passed through
this county one day this week headed
for western Kansas, and a claim The
family consisted of father, mother and
six children, the youngest less than one
year old. There was just one pair of
shoes in the family and they were worn
badly worn, toby the mother.
The entire family may have possessed
thirty cents worth of clothing, but that
is q high estimate. They were travel
ing Overland the three youngest chill
dren riding in a pine box tied on the
axle of two old buggy wheels. the
vehicle being propelled by the COM
bined efforts of the father and mother,
hind and pushing. Surely twas "a
picture from life's other side.'"
That is certainly a hard-luck tale,
yet it will be by no means surprising
If, fifteen years hence. this family has
a fine farm. well stocked, a rubber
tired buggy in addition to the usual
farm implements. a fairly good bank
account. a comfortable home, and
some of the children in college.
1t is not every region that affords
such opportunities. In most new
countries some capital is required to
make a start. OF course. a little cap
ital is a great help on the road to
aff1uence in western Kansas. but many
a well-to-do farmer In that region
started with nothing. This newcomer
is further handicapped by having a
family to support while he is starting,
but If he is strong and willing to
work he will make his way, His
labor will always be in demand until
he saves enough to buy a team and
rent some land to farm for himself.
Then it will be only a question OF hard
work and good management until he
is able to make the first payment on a
farm of his own. and after that it viii
be easy-preyided. of course, that
region has such fairly good crops as
1T has had in recent years.
Many a Kansas farmer started with
only his bare hands and is now
wealthy. Western Kansas today has
place for the poor man as we'll as for
the Well-to -do.

A NEW ERA.

1t is an exceedingly hopeful sign that
not a single railroad attempted to in
f1uence the recent appoin tn1ent of the at
toFney for the state railroad board.
Governor Hoch states that no pressure
whatever was brought to bear on him
from railroad sources in making the
appointment.
This is as it should be, but it was a
condition scarcely hoped for just yet.
It has not been so very many years
since the railroads absolutely controlled
without question the appointment OF
members of the railroad commission,
sometimes even quarreing among them
selves over the appointments. Since the
board has been elective, the railroads
have sought to control their nomina-
ton The position of states railroad
attorney is a newer thing, but it was
supposed that they would try to control
that also.
But a better era appears to be open
ing. A few days ago President WincheH,
of the Rock Island, announced at Des
Moires that his road is out of politics;
that 1t will hereafter not even maintain
Hobbies at Washington and the state
capitals to protect it's interest. At the
same time John Sebastian, passenger
traffic manager of the same road, an
nounced that his road Will take no re-
taliatory action because of hostile legfs-
lation.
This policy is keeping with the atti-
tude of B. F. Yoakum, executive chair
man Of the Rock Island Frisco lines, who
believes In railroads being fair with the
public instead of opposing everything
that the public desires. Very likely
others of the big roads wilt come to this
view In time.
This new policy of the Rock Island is
certainly fair one. Railroads are big
institutions, but there is no more legiti-
mate reason for their maintaining
bureaus to control politics and legisla-
ton than there is for the farming in
terests to do so. Railroads, and all 9TH
er interests, should depend upon open
and fair argument to protect their in
terests rather than secret political wire
pulling. 1t is true that they are some
times attacked by dishonest legislators
who try to hold them up, but an open
appeal to the people, exposing such leg
islators. will rally the public to their
support if they are themselves worthy.
The Rock Island is to be greatly COM
mended for inaugurating this new
policy.
The same spirit is doubtless response
BILE for the fact that the Kansas rail-
roads did not try to influence Governor
Hoch in filling the vacancy in. the office,
of state railroad attorney. Yet on de-
hberate thought it would appear that
nothing could be more out of place than
the railroads dipping into a matter like
that. 1t would be as reasonable for one
party to a lawsuit to dictate the attor-
neys for the opposing side as for the
railroads to say who should be appointed
to enforce the railroad laws.
Undoubtedly the people will be left
more free to govern themselves in the
future, but the railroads will not suffer
from it. if they are disposed to treat the
public fairly.
