"You ought to know him. Judge, he
took the pledge for year before you
once" said Mrs. William Human In
police court, Saturday morning, when
called to testify against her husband,
who was up on a charge OF being
drunk. There was no pity In the wom-
ans face, but rather a look OF stern
determination, and II was quite evil
dent that Human need expect no mer-
cy SO far as his better half was con-
cerned.
"He kept that pledge just three
weeks. your honor" the woman went
on. Since then he's been as bad
as ever. He gets drunk every little
while and abuses me and my little
girl shamefully. Last night he took
a china set from my cupboard ana
got a beautiful jag with it"
do you think you can get along
without him for awhile?" Querisd the
court.

RIFLE SHOOTING AT FORT RILEY
National Guard Marksmen Prepare for
National Competition.

Junction City. Kan, July -4.-Nearly
200 members of the Kansas national
guard are camped at the target range
at Fort Riley under the command of
Colonel Perry NJ Hoisington, COM
manding the Second regiment of the
Kansas national guard. These troops
came here for the purpose of engaging
in a competition which is to determine
the personnel of the Kansas national
guard team to the national rifle COM
petition, which is to be held at Camp
Perry, o., next fall.
The competition which is being held
at Fort Riley this week wills determine
the selection of 1s men who will rep
resent Kansas at Camp Perry. Twelve
of them will be the marksmen, three
substitutes and three officials of the
team. The Kansas marksmen will re-
main at Fort Riley all week.

most important requisite in a president,

the conditions and to detect the sophis-

who seek unfair advantages.
HE must possess the moral courage
to stand against the influences that
are brought to bear in favor Of special
interests. In fact, the quality of moral
courage is as essential In a public OFF,

and to make wise use of counsellors
he must be open to conviction. The
president is committed by his plat

Opinion of Chairman Yoakum o
Rock Island-F'risco.

Chicago, July 14.-In the estimation
of B. F. Yoakum. chairman of the
executive committee of the Rock
Island Frisco, 25 per cent of the
prosperity of the country comes from
the railroads and their extension into
new territory and the improvement
and general building UP of existing
railroad properties to take care of
growing commerce. From rs to 80
per cent of the present hard times is
due. he believes. to the causes that
have interfered with the prosecution
of railroad Improvements Of the
character described through hostile
legislation and other official inter-
ference.
Mr.. Yoakum is of the opinion that
already there are many substantial
evidences that the feeling of the pub
lie is changing toward railroads. as II
becomes better informed of their true
condition and realizes that their
ability to take care of obligations, i'm
provements and expansion is for the
general good and prosperity of the

Accountants in Favor of Pad

Would Conceal Costs From Com
merce Commission.
LOOK FOR ADVANCE
Whole Meeting Devoted to Cues
ti0n of Evasion.
Other Items of Interest in
Railway Circles.

1t is asserted in reports sent out
from Atlantic City that at the meeting
this week Of the American Association
of Railroad accountants, plans were
discussed in secret session for conceal
ing from the interstate commission
and other investigators the real cost
of procuring competing roads by plac-
ing the cost accounts among the items
of reconstruction and other expenses.
Recommendations were made, it is
stated, that rates be raised to cover
the cost Of paying interest on lines
procured in deals, members of the as
sociation asserting that former own
ers of such lines who took stock in
payment were entitled to their return.
One of the members, connected with a
southern road, is quoted as saying:
I'VE can easily charge into our road
betterment account the cost of the
roads which we have been forced to
take over and then abandon.
This must be done quietly and
without grandstand plays, and quiet
iy year by year, when the people are
not thinking of railroads. and when
the overhauling they get from courts
and commissions has not focused at
tention upon them, and bloodcurdlfng
kilograms are not pouring in to sum-
mon them before grand 5uries.
I'VE will have everything carefully
entered on our books. according to
certain rules, and when we go before
the interstate commission we can say:
Now here are our books. Look and
see for yourself what we have spent
upon our roads and what a beautiful
railroad we have in consequence. Now
please let us raise our rates.. And II
we have done this all by rule. our
books will speak for themselves"
Professor c. c. Adams, an academ-
ic expert, who was formerly a statis-
tician for the commission, Is reported
as among those objecting to methods
suggested for fixing balance sheets in
order to raise the figures supposed to
represent operating expenses in order
to open the way for raising rates with
out mourning investigation by the
commission. He is quoted as having
said
ct believe that the railroad balance
sheet should be a live sheet and
should represent the property which
now exists and not this property plus
the abandoned property of last year.
If we put these many proposed items
into our capital accounts the public
will surely believe that we are over
capitalizing and will demand that our
accounts be examined by the courts
The absolute need of some scheme
to prevent loss through abandonment
of roads was impressed on the meeting
by delegates who held up the bugaboo
of the necessity of the identification
of most of the roads within the next
few years. Statements were made CALI
ing attention to the need Of raising
money to pay the cost of throwing the
present equipment on the scrap heap.
and resolutions adopted asking that
rate laws be graded so as to not place
too heavy burdens upon roads which
are under heavy expense.

TUCKER SAYS HE'LL WIN.
Uncle sam Can Use the Express When
Barred from Malls.

Kansas City, Kan, July 14.-ln
spite of indictments against several
members of the management and
fraud order from Washington holding
up the treasurers mail freighted with
the returns of a per cent assessment
on the stockholders, the secretary OF
the Uncle Sam Oil company says It's
business will go on the same as usual.
1.-The mere holding up of our treas
urer's mail does not materially effect
the company" said Secretary H. H.
Tucker last evening. I'VE have always
contrived to have the assessment
money passed to us by express when
the government turns its back on u.s.
We will do this now as the stockhold-
ers all understand the system from
former experiences, and are willing to
help us in our fight against the veiled
interests behind the indictmens."
Tucker thought the company would
win its long and seemingly endless
fight against receivership, indictment
and fraud orders. He claimed it now
has about 100000 in properties scat
tered among several towns in Kansas
and Oklahoma and is free from all in
debtedness with $4,000 in the treas
ury.

HAD MONEY TO BURN.
Insane Woman Has $4,000 and Gold
Nuggets Scwed in Clothes.

Hutchinson, Kan, July IA few
days ago Sheriff Duckworth took Miss
Anna Burnhart to Davenport. Iowa.
She had been adjudged insane and the
state asylums were all full and the
Davenport institution offered to take
her. An invoice was taken of her
goods and S1,3S5 in gold was found,
besides her real estate here in Hutch
inson worth about $4,000 more. After
she arrived at the institution a further
search was made. She resented 1t and
they partially forced her, taking off
