THE AGENTS SIDE.

A railroad station agent has written
the State Journal a communication
setting forth some of the things an
agent has to contend with in filling mis-
office to the satisfaction of the public
And anyone who knows anything
about the business to be looked after
in the average small town depot real
ICES that there is much of justice in
the contentious set forth by the agent
The Dublfc-that part of it that is
cOnsiderate and that is entitled to
consideration in return-makes no
complaint concerning the hundreds of
Woodworking agents who do their best
to accommodate the patrons of their
respective roads. But railroad agents
are just like other men. The same
human nature that asks questions in
front Of the ticket window. answers
them-Or doesn't-from behind the
window. And in the same proportion
as there are cranks. idiots and over
bearing individuals among travellers,
there are discqurteous. offensive and
irascible persons in the ranks of the
agents.
The average agent. however, does
his best to please the public. and con-
siderate railroad patrons should bear
they seek information. 1t is not this
sort of an agent. however. that the
order of the railroad commissioners
about posting the time of late trains is
aimed at. That order is directed part
ly at the system and partly at the few
grouchy agents who suppress informa-
ton about late trains.
The public can not expect to receive
information correct to the minute con-
corning late trains, for. as is pointed
out by the State Journals correspond
ent, trains lose or gain time between
stations. A train may be reported on
time and yet come in ten minutes late
1t would be dangerous for an agent to
report a train ten minutes late, for it
might make I'D time and come in on
schedule, and those who believed it to
be ten minutes late would get left But
when trains are from one to five hours
late, there is no reason why the public
should not be given the approximate
facts. 1t has happened that people
have been kept waiting hours for
trains about which they have not been
able to ascertain a word. and it is
against such occurrences that the pub
lie should be protected. Against the
conscientious agent who does the best
he can the public should make no
complaint.

SENATOR LONGS DENIAL.

! 1t is vehemently denied by Senator
Chester I. Long that he conferred with
any railroad attorney in Topeka Mon
day in an effort to persuade the rail-
roads to obey the two-cent fare order
of the Kansas railroad board. He takes
pains to make mis- denial as strong as
possible.
But why this vehemence? Why does
the senator so strenuously assert that he
did not communicate with Judge Smith,
of the Santa Fe, or with any other rail-
road representative concerning two
cent fares?
If Senator Long has any influence
with the railroads; if any word of his
can bring them to obey the order of
the railroad commissioners, Senator
Long will be doing the people of Kan
sas a great service if he will exert that
influence and speak that word.
1t is really no crime to talk to a rail-
road attorney. The impression may
have got abroad that such an action Is
contrary to the Decalogue, but it isn't.
In fact, Senator Long would doubtless
elevate himself in the estimation of the
people if he would send for Judge
Smith, and Mr.. Low, and Mr.. Loomis,
and sit down with them in the lobby of
the Copeland and point out to them
where the railroads are in error in the
present attitude they have assumed. 1t
would be a splendid thing for the SEN
ator to thus point the way out of the
twe-cent fare muddle not ostents tious-
ly, but also without secrecy. 1t is not
a thing to be ashamed of-something
that needs to be talked about behind a
locked door on the top floor.

"sTANDING PAT.v

The kind of "standpatism" which
| the people of Kansas admire is that
| displayed by Governor Hoch on the

letter that he proposes to stand pat on
the proposition that Kansas shall not
be Disseminated against in the matter
of passenger rates.
While not saying positively that he
will call a special session of the legisla-
ture to deal with this question, he
comes as near saying it as is possible
without actually uttering the words.
''If this should necessitate a special
session of the legislature" he asserts,
Gin the language of Patrick Henry.
Let it come" The governor quotes
Pat as we'll as stands pat.
Further on he adds: my mind is

be ready to act.''
All of which doubtless means that
If the railroads decline to obey the
order of the railroad board and insist
