service corporations through official
arbitration and without result to jury
trials. Such a system is working in
England, as am informed and was
successfully inaugurated in Massa-
chusetts. No one can have sat on the
federal bench as 1 did for eight or
mine years and not realize how defec-
tive the administration of justice in
these cases must have seemed to the
defeated plaintiff whether he was the
legless or armless employe himself
or his personal representative"
AS to the jury system Mr.. Taft
said:
1--WE can not, of course. dispense
with the jury system 1t is that
which makes the people part of the
administration of justice. but every
means by which in civil cases litigants
NAV be induced voluntarily to avoid
the expense, delay and burden of jury
trials, ought to be encouraged be-
cause in this way, the general ad-
ministration of justice can be greatly
facilitated and the expense incident to
delay in litigation can be greatly re-
duced."
Mr.. Taft closed with tribute to
the legal profession and cautioned
that conservatism ought not to be al
lowed to prevent reforms which are
in the interest of equalizing the ad-
ministration of justice as far as pos
sible between the poor and the rich.

After Seventy-one Years OF Married
Life With One Husband.

Chicago. Aug. 6.-Mrs. Benjamin
Harris, nonogenarian. bent and
wrinkled, sits weeping alone today in
small apartment from which her
husband was buried yesterday, the
first time in II years OF married life
that she ever was separated from him.
From the home of the Little Sisters
of the Poor, Fifth street and Prairie
avenue, where the funeral of Harris
was held, five wealthy Chicago women
followed the old husbands body to the
grave. These women several years
ago prevented separation which pow
erty seemed about to force on the
Harrises and took the couple from the
Dunning poor house and established
the pair in a little home. Since then
the five benefactors had contributed
generously to support Harris and his
aged wife.
Mr.. Harris eloped with his bride
when she was 10. For time the pair
seemed in a way to become rich. Then
reverses came. All their savings
vanished. but through i'll fortune and
good, they had remained united.

TELEPHONE GIRLS STRIKE.
The Operators i'm the EmpOria Ex
change Object to Chicago Expert.

Emporia, Kan, Aug. 6.-At busy
hour Wednesday all but two of the
operators in the Emporia Telephone
company walked out. There has been
considera BILE complaint of Indifferent
service for several months and w. W.
Finney, manager of the company, sent
to Chicago for an expert operator
object of getting the service in better
shape. Mr.. Finney says the girls en-
ployed resented this, and when Miss
Hemphill made a suggestion regarding
her work to one of the girls last night,
it was a signal for a strike.
Mr.. Finney says the strike was not
occasioned by a demand for higher
to telephone operators of anyone in
the state. Mr.. Finney Immediately
called in girls from the relief board
and operators from Reading and
Neosho Rapids and one or two other
towns, and service was soon restored.
Miss Jennie Williams, one of the
former telephone operators, said she
had merely quit her place because it
did not suit her. Miss Williams was
the oldest central in the employ of the
company, answering the 900 board for
the past three years. Miss Williams
"side" is as follows: The new chief
operator, who arrived from Chicago,
formed her that she would have to
work another board. AS she had
charge of the 800 board for three
years, Miss Williams did not care TO
change. The chief operator said she
was forced to make the change. so
transferred Miss Williams denied all
knowledge OF a planned strike. She
quit, she said. because she was dis
satisfied with her place.

sCAREs THE DRUGGISTS.
Revoking Several Permits Causes Less
Sales in July Than June.

Wichita, KAN, Aug. evidently
the probate judge has frightened some
of the druggists into being little bit
more particular about selling intoxf-
eating liquor. The fact that he re-
yoked three liquor licenses Iasr month
has made the druggists more particu>
lar about their sales.
As a result there were fewer safes
in July than in June, the difference
being a little more than 1900.
The druggists turned into the county
treasury $1O1.3S from the sale OF the
liquor last month.

Conservative.

BraveIy and Fearlessly Stood by
His Guns.
BristOw and Stubbs Are Natur.
ally Pleased.

The Chief Literary Agent of the
Bristow boom. William Allen White OF
Emporia, and his first assistant, Henry
j. Allen of Wichita, both write enter
tanning editorials on the defeat of
Long. Both take the position that
Long made gallant, clean fight, and
should retain the esteem of the people
of Kansas
Mr.. White says in the Emporia Ga
zette:
BRISTOW'S VICTORY.
The victory of Joseph L. Bristow is
not so much the endorsement of
man as it is the endorsement of an
idea. Kansas is not a conservative
state. 1t stands more with Nebraska
and Wisconsin, than with Rhode ISL
and and New York. So when the peo-
pie saw that Long stood with the east
ern Republicans and Bristow with
western Republicans, the result was
inevitable. But three personal factors
have entered the victory of Bristow:
First. the unnecessary arrogance of
Long, showing in the pride which
goeth before destruction and the
naughty spirit before a fall; second,
the manly. generous action of w. r.
Stubbs in retiring from the senatorial
race. leaving Bristow clear fieid, and
the third personal feature in BrIstows
victory is Bristow himself, sincere,
SdIAcSl, IL OllcH lIupdlleul, Soul VINO
appealed to the hearts of the people.
1t was sad business to defeat a
man so ambitious as Long. 1t is not
a thing a man likes to think about.
1t is one of the disagreeable features
of an election that some man has to
lose. But Long goes down with clean
hands. He goes down with no charge
of personal dishonesty made against
him. He conoucted consistent,
courageous, honest campaign. No
money was spent improperly. No at
tempt was made by Long to dodge his
position He was a conservative and
proud of it, and he made a manly
fight against overwhelming odds of
public sentiment; he could not talk
the hearty Kansas language. He was
essentially a foreigner. He lacked
heart and was bourbon, who learned
nothing and forgot nothing. He didn't
know that Kansas is essentially state
of emotions, and when he read the
Bristow letter, he could not see how
it hurt Long, past all redemption.
But nevertheless, Chester 1: Long
was considerable of man In this
Matchmaking it in the teeth of obvI-
Gus defeat, in the presence of friends
who were deserting him by hundreds,
in the face of the ingratitude of po-
litical allies, who hunted cover only
when the storm broke. He relied on
the machine, and it's reliance proved a
mockery. He tried to work with ma
terial things, but the Lord was moving
on the face of the waters, and Long
could not stem the tide.
His defeat is one of the tragedies
of Kansas politics. 1t Is none the less
bitter and heart breaking to those
who caused his defeat to know that to
make Kansas commercially free, and
politically free, they had to cast down
an able. brilliant, companionable man
who doesn't see things as they really
are, and who was defeated with his
banner flying, and his colors unbend-
ing.

Henry Allen says in the Wichita Bea-
con:
THE DEFEAT OF SENATOR LONG.
The nomination of Hon. J. l. Bristow
for United States senator is the first
real fruit Of the new primary election
law. Mr.. Bristow could not have won
the contest if there had not been a di-
rect instruction from the people. Mr.
Long had a superb organization, and
his friends have probably nominated
a majority of the members; these, but
for the popular instruction, would have
voted for Senator Long next January.
AS it is they will vote for Bristow in
obedience to the popular vote in their
respective districts.
The landslide for Mr.. Bristow was
not a surprise. Doubtless Mr.. Long
himself had come to expect 1t after
the Topeka joint debate. The outcome
is the result of Senator's Longs con-
servatism. He has been brave in his
fight against the radical sentiment
brave to the point Of foolhardiness. He
was out of touch with Kansas senti-
ment. By temperament Mr.. Long is
ultra conservative. His early battles
with Populism added to his natural
disposition for conservatism.
Senator Long is a man Of fine abil-
ity; he made a stronger place for him
self in Washington than in Kansas.
He has, however, a large personal fol-
lowing in the state; he will continue to
be a great political power here, and the
lesson of this defeat will bring him
closer to the people.

J. L. Bristow will put in the next
few weeks resting at his home in
Salina. He has had a strenuous time,
and feels that he has a vacation COM
ing to him.
Mr.. Bristow says: 81 am deeply
grateful to the Republicans of Kansas
for the nomination which they have
given me for the high Office of United
States senator. My majority Is slight
ly greater than 1 expected. 1 do not
consider this as personal compli-
ment, but as an Endorsement of the
principles which 1 have advocated
during the campaign While the con-
test has been vigorous 1 do not be-
lieve that any personal i'll feelings
have been engendered. / am sure this
is the case so far as 1 am concerned" !"
w. r. Stubbs, at his home in Law
renee, expressed his great satisfac-
ton with the outcome of the pri-
mary, and said:
81 am particularly gratified at the
way the people of my home town and
home county supported me. Here 1
received more than 1000 votes out of
total of $500. This testimonial of
confidence and esteem on the part of
many years and have. lived neighbor
to me for many years touches me
more than anything else about the
whole primary election.
'I am pleased with the character
and quality Of the people from over
the state from whom my support
came. 1 feel that it is an element of
proud.
"The campaign brought out the
people to hear the issues discussed,
and they talked about them, weighed
and debated them until they
thoroughly understand them. and
