Three Competing Lines.

Greeley.-If competition counts for
anything, Greeley should have three
electric railways, as three roads are
planning to build between Denver and
Greeley and seeking favor from influ-
entail organizations. The Greeley &
Northern Railway & Utility Company
was first in the field. On Tuesday one
Of its directors appeared before the
Greeley Commercial club and asked
the clubs endorsement, creating a
storm Of discussion lasting three hours.

given:

outrages by Night Riders.

Salem, Ky.-Two hundred masked
night riders visited Bycusburg, KY,
early Tuesday morning and applied
the torch to the Bennett tobacco ware
house and distillery. Both were COM
pletely destroyed. The loss is about
$4,000. The mob shot up the home OF
William Groves, foreman OF the to-
bacco factory, drove him from the
building and whipped him almost to
death.
Henry Bennett, member Of the firm
of Bennett Brothers, was taken from
his home, tied to tree, and severely
whipped. He was left bound to the
tree. Bennett Brothers operate an in

Gently left him for other fields of

There was commotion among her
people on receipt Of the astounding
proposition. She lived over again
the dark days of the first fitting. 1t
might well be her uncle had exag-
gerated the dangers Of life in the new
land. 1t was great fun to shock his
credulous relatives. He had surely
written them some enormous tales
during those 15 years and more. He
used to chuckle heartily to himself
at reading some of the sympathizing
replies. But these tales were held in
evidence against him now that he
dared to want Louise. Every letter
was brought out by Louise's dear old
grandmother and read to her over
again. Louise did not half believe
them, but they were gospel truth to
her grandmother and almost so to
her father and mother as we'll. She re-
membered the old spirit of fun ram
pant in her favorite uncle. and while
his vivid pictures took all the color
from her sensitive face, deep down in
her heart she recognized them for
what they were worth The letters
were strange medley of grasshoppers,
billiards and Indians. But a ten-dol-
lar per diem was'a great temptation
over five-dollar per diem, and times
were pretty hard on the old farm.
More than all, the ineXplicable some
thing that had led her uncle to throw
tradition to the four winds of heaven
was calling her persistently and would
not be denied.
The dear hero of her childhood
was much changed to be sure; his
big joints had taken on more flesh
and he had gained in dignity of de-
pertinent what he had lost in ease of
movement. His once merry eye had
grown keen with the years of just
judging. The lips that had laughed
SO much in the old days were set in
lines of sternness. Judge Hammond

report. Yet through all his gravity
of demeanor and the pride of his In
tegrity, Louise instinctively felt his
kindness and loved him for it. The
loneliness fell away from her and a
measure of content had come in its
place, until the letter had come from

So here she was, going into the In
dian country at last. A big state,
South Dakota, and the phases Of Its
civilization manifold. Having come
so far, to refuse to go on seemed like
turning back with her hand already on
the pillow, so with stout heart she had
wired Richard Gordon that she would
go. But it was pretty hard now, to
be sure. and pretty dreary, coming
into Velpen knowing that she would
see no one she knew in all the wide,
wide world. The thought choked her
and the impish demon, loneliness, he
of the smirk and horns and devils
eyes, doomed leeringly before her
again. Blindly, she picked up her um-
brella, suit case and rain coat.
"Homesick?" asked the kindly brake
man, with consolatory grin as he
came to assist her with her bag
gage.
She bit her lip in modification to
think she had carried her feelings so
palpably on her sleeve. But she nod

CONTROL or CORPORATIONS.
Commissioner Smith Says That Pub
llelty 10 tho Great Corrective.

Washington, - Public opinion has
been prompt and efacient in the cor.
rection of commercial evils when those
evils are stated specifically.
This is one of the conclusions
reached by Herbert Knox Smith, COM
missioner of corporations, and ex-
pressed in the annual report OF the
operations OF the bureau of corpora
lions, just made public.
Naturally, under present conditions,
the real power Of public opinion
reaches only such cases as may be
specifically stated"
Thus" says Commissioner Smith,
"the experience Of the bureau seems to
point logically to the need for an ex-
tension of such results by the creation
of general administrative system of
supervision Of interstate corporations
which shall give. in substantially the
same form as is furnished now for n
few corporations, the essential facts
relating to all the great interstate cor
pprations.
Whether the system takes the form
OF a federal license plan or a simple re-
quirement that interstate corporations
shall make reports and submit their
books to federal bureau, is OF little
consequence SO long as the information
necessary for publicity is obtained. The
thing that is important is to arrive at a
system which will accomplish the re-
suit; Which will enable the govern
ment to deal with such corporations in
the main by administrative supervis-
ion rather than judicial procedure;
whose methods will be preventive
rather than penal; and, most i'm
portant Of all, system which will af-
ford permanent practical ground for
contract and cooperation between the
government officials charged with this
work on the one hand and corporate
managers on the other hand.
ut is with such information as the
bureau Of corporations is able, under
the law, to collect and publish, that tho
great corrective force OF public opin-
ion can be intelligently and efficiently
directed at those industrial evils that
constitute the most important OF our
present problems.
Corporate combination as such ap-
pears to not only be an economic nee
essity. but also largely an accomplished
fact 1t is not the existence OF indus
trial power, but rather is misuse that
is the real problem. The government
should direct its attention toward pre-
venting unfair methods and toward
keeping open the opportunities for
competitive industry"
| Commissioner Smith says he is con-
tinuing tn. investigations already be-
gun into the industries Of petroleum,
tobacco and steel. Under resolutions
adopted by the last congress the bu-
reau is also making Investigations into
the operations of the International Har-
vester Company, the cause OF high
price of lumber, into the causes of
fluctuations and differences in the
price of cotton. and into patents

ing conducted into water Transports

DOG BITES
LITTLE GIRL

Yesterday vicious bull dog
belonging to an Italian residing
on West Main street in the
Crawford addition, attacked the
little daughter of William ALI
son, living in the same neigh
borIIood. The dog bit the child
on the right arm, badly Iacerat-
ing the flesh and making a very
ugly wound.
The matter was reported to the
police and Chief O'Neil sent an. Of
ficer to the Italians home to secure
and kill the vicious dog. However.
when the officer reached the home.
he found that the family had locked
the dog in room and did not pro-
pose to give him up.
The officer so reported to his chief
and the latter instructed the officer to
take another man with him and get
the dog. even if he had to break in
to the house.
The Italian again defied the OIL
GERS, but when told that he would
be arrested and placed in jail, he
finally agreed to give up the dog and
the animal was shot to death.
The little girl is getting along very
nicely and no serious effects of the
bite are expected.
