THE TWO CENT RATE.

The railroads of Missouri are
claiming that they have lost ST.
500, 900 since June II, when the
two cent law became effective.
The public will be slow in believ-
ing such a statement until con-
elusive proof has been presented.
1t was claimed that the in
crease in traffic would more than
make up for the loss in rate.
This claim has not been justified.
1t is true that there has been
some increase in the number of
passengers but by no means as
large an increase as was pre-
dicted by the advocates of the
low rate. That is not where the
evening up comes. Most of the
legislatures which put through
the two cent measure last winter
were hysterical and blindly
anxious to appeal to the pocket
books of the people. The Neb-
raska legislature, though, did
some real investigating. II
found from the statement Of the
general passenger agent Of the
Union Pacific that, counting al
excursions, mileage books at two
and half cents, and averaging il
the free'passes, the road was re
ceiving 1.8S cents a mile for al
persons carried. That it was
financial hardship to the road t
get two cents a mile from every
body is difficult to see, especially
so since traffic is increased.
Things may be very differen'
in Missouri, but we hardly thinl
so.

suggests hat the non-boozing

THE NEED OF GOOD ROADS.

Just now when winter is not a
long way off we are reminded
that the country roads leading
to Lexington are not in ideal
condition. A few years ago drag
ging of roads was popular, but
the farmers who were doing the
dragging for the public. good when
their neighbors were not got tired
and let the thoroughfares go.
So now during several months of
the year these roads radiating
out of Lexington are practically
impossible. And there has been
no concerted action for the
purpose of getting these roads
into condition. In this particular
Higginsville has undoubtedly
stolen a march on Lexington.
The merchants of that town give
regular cash prizes to the farm
ers who keep their roads in the
best shape and competition for
these prizes is keen. In con-
sequence, the roads around Hig-
ginsville are well kept and the
farmers who trade there have
little difficulty in getting to
town. By this means, moreover,
Higginsville has taken some
trade away from Lexington.
People from the Prairie Church
neighborhood, for instance, who
had traded in Lexington from
time immemorial could not get
here last winter. They could
get to Higginsville. Now they
trade there regularly.
Not so long ago the people of
Lexington subscribed 100000
to a bridge proposition which
would have brought to town the
trade Of a few renters who live
between here and the Junction,

cards bearing pictures of views
in the locality from which they
are sent are appropriate and
often pretty.
But the cards supposed to be
funny and printed in tawdry
colors are never appropriate and
never witty. Frequently they
are obscene, nearly always coarse
and ever silly. Laws have been
passed against the sending of
lewd matter through the mail,
but the sale of these nasty
pictures continues and mails are
full of them.
1t is not the fault of people
who work in the post offices.
They could hardly be expected
to examine every postal that
comes through their hands.
These indecent cards should
never be sold. If we are not
mistaken, there are already laws
which if enforced could prevent
their sale. These laws should
be enforced.

The Kansas City Post remarks
insinuatingly: 1t occurs to The
Post that were Frank Rozzelle
police commissioner and John
Hayes chief of police, and the
statements were published that
beer was sold in open violation of
the Sunday closing law in a dozen
places, names and addresses of
which were given, there would
have been some arrests made be-
fore the ink on the paper was
dry. But Frank Rozzelle is not
police commissioner and John
Hayes is not chief of police.
When they were a good many
things were different.

FOOTBALL PROSPECTS.

III UNO Respects dV ledSu uile
new rules in football have
proved effective. The opponents
of the game as formerly played
contended that too much stress
was laid upon the training of a
relatively few athletes. The in
terests of the geat body of stu
dents properly entitled to atten-
ton from the staff of instructors
in physical culture were neg
lected, so they said, in order that
a mere handful of gladiatOrs
might be trained for battles on
the g%ridiron. What they de-
manded was a game that would
permit the participation of many
instead Of one limited to men of
beef and Drawn.
The reports from the princi-
pal colleges indicate that a larger
number of hopeful candidates
is represented on the field than
ever before. The fast running,
quick thinking student of small
physique has a good chance for
the coveted athletic honors once
reserved for the heavyweights.
The openness of the game and
the reduction of the liability of
severe injury which have attend
ed the changes in the rules have
combined to make it more popu-
lar with the students. This stu.
alton is the more notable because
of the rule barring first year men
from competition for place. The
reformers appear to have accom-
plished one definite result. They
have given opportunity to the
many instead of the former few.
The wisdom of the decision to
keep freshmen out of the game
is more and more apparent. The
unseemly scramble for high
school graduates is no longer
noted. Except for one eastern
institutions activity in the cen
trail west there is little suspicion
of buying of athletes by scholar
ships, sinecure jobs, or alumni
cash contributions. The fact
that a student must be regularly
enrolled for a year before taking
part in intercollegiate athletics
has practically eradicated one OF
the worst evils of the old regime.
There is no longer any undue
prominence accorded the fresh
man of large physique. He is
left more to his own devices. He
has to show his worth now, in.
stead of being boosted along in
all college activities because Of
athletic skill.
These are notable advances in
connection with a form of sport
which now is in greater favor
with the spectators than ever
In the west there is the added
gain of the elimination of the
championship idea and the
steadfast determination to make
intercollegiate contests occasions
for friendly interchange of visits
between college men, instead o.
times of bitterness and backbit
ing, The east lags far behind il
these particulars. But enough
progress has been made in eacf
college section to rescue the
game from the certain fate Il
which, it's former tendencies were
rapidly consigning it when thu
reaction came.
