roadbed and passing traffic?
These are two queries being pro-
pounded in railroad circles as the re-
suit of the refusal Of western road.
which prides itself on its physical
Pacific 10000" the largest locomotive |
in the world, from Chicago to Omaha.
Despite the fact that the revenue
from the haul was over $4,000, and
that the mechanical giant had been
safely transported from the east to
Chicago, this western road, conceded
to be the equal physically of any of
Its competitors, declined the task.
In the mountain districts, Of Cali
fornia and Nevada, where the new To-
connective is to be placed in service by
the Southern Pacific, it is at present
necessary to assign at least two of
the strongest and heaviest Pacific
type locomotives to each loaded
freight train in order to safely nego-
tiate the steep grades. This has re-
suited in an extremely high cost Of
operation on this section of the road.
A year ago or more Edward H.
Hartman instructed the Southern
by which the cost of this mountain
haul could be minimized. After care
full investigation and study of the sit
uation it was determined to expert
ment with locomotives possessing ire
mendous energy. The new "Mallet
articulated consolidated type" was
submitted to the engineers, and it was
decided to purchase two of these
giants with power more than double
that of the great engines in present
use.
| During the week past the first Of
these mechanical marvels to be con-
structed arrived in Chicago and was
placed on public view in the La Sale
street station. Towering above the
passenger coaches on track adjoin-
ing, and with its great length accentu-
ated by comparison with the sub
urban engines putting in and out of
the depot, rs. P. 1000" became a
magnet for the idly curious and those
technically interested.
In 1848, when the Pioneer" the
first locomotive to run into Chicago
on the Chicago & Northwestern rail-
road, wheezed It's difficult way along
a lightly built, but at that time a
wonderfully built, roadbed, the coun-
tryside went Wild vita, a.a lined the cross
roads to see the doughty little engine
pass.
What would be the ordinations of
those old-time railroad men and engi.
neers could they from their last run
look forward score of years and
critically examine this, the latest
} giant creation OF locomotive construc
tors?

The giant "s. P. 4ooO," in the opin-
ion Of many experienced railroad en-
gineers, represents the limit in size
and weight for safe operating, the
maximum risk for the minimum cost.

Most of the million are bought by boys

Most of the million are bought by boys
who ought not to be sold OF permitted
to own a pistol and the remainder are
being packed about in the clothes of
men and youths who become thus
constant menace to life and in time
add to the census Of the prisons.
One law that should be enforced
thoroughly and which is given little or
the slightest attention by the officers
whose business 1t is to enforce it is
the law against pistol toting. There
is little attention to be paid to the plea
that the police can not tell who is or
is not packing a pistol. The fact is
that everywhere they pay no attention
to the matter. Practically every tough
tinhorn and hard citizen has a gun
handy when he needs it to get his
man with. There would be little diff
Guilty in finding arms on this class of
be made. The police have the right
to search. More than that it is their
duty to search the alan who may be
justly suspected of carrying concealed
weapons. If the matter was given the
attention it deserves and requires we
would make and sell less than a mil
lion incentives to murder annually.
The criticism is general, not partic-
ular In every city the carrying of
concealed weapons goes on undis-
turbed until a murder rouses activity
for the time Until the criticism is given
particular point this inactivity will con-
tinue. In all the police court records
punishment for the commonest crime
against the peace is most uncommon.
Take the guns away from the boys
and spank them hard at the same
time. Take the guns away from the
toughs and tinhorns and get the limit
of the fine in cash or labor.

most to be converted live on "the

live. The people that the Sunday pro-

not be Objectionable.
Keep the roadway free from weeds,

their width would make them look

WHERE the CREDIT BELONGS.

Senator William Joel Stone of our Z
neighhoring state, Missouri. has been
put to much trouble and shame by
complaint of negro waiter in a, dining
car and hauled into court with this
common niger" to answer to the law
for taking a poke" at the ilnpudent
darkey
1t appears that the niger
balled things up extremely. The sem |
auor ordered a drink. The waiter
brought the whisky and stupidity failed
TO bring the chaser" with it. When
the senator Indignantly demanded the
inalienable right of the ultimate con-
sumer of red liquor the niger came
back with plenty of ice but no water.
All this time the generous booze sat
untouched beneath the eager eyes and
under the quivering nostrils of the sem
ator from Missouri. 1t vexed him.
: Then the meal was slow and following
that big delayed drink he got hungry
beyond measure. While he waited the
drink took hold" on an empty stonl-
ach. Little need of description to those
who have been there and those who
have not would not understand it any
way Suffice to say that the senator
passed from annoyance TO anger, called
the niger BLACK dog" and slapped
him full across a sulky and expansive
mouth Then the Niger had the
maria, stood TO explain before a COM
mon court suffered humiliation. His
cup of sorrows overflowed 1t is no
small matter to a Missouri man to be
deprived of his drink while a coon
hunts ice water and then be arrested
on complaint of a "nigger" because he
grows petulant under pressure.
The judge, sch, was a noble specimen
sch, of the high souled southern gentle
man sch He understood what it
means TO gentleman to be deprived of
niger sch. The niger must be given
to know his place sch and how may
that contamination so devoutly the
hope of every southe'n breast be better
accomplished than by a swat across
the mouth? The judge commended the
senator for his presence of mind. L
was unfortunate that ne was obliged
to hit the niger" bare handed, a cane
or some other weapon not intended tc
give mortal hurt would have been more
in line with southern tradition but un-
acted like a man Of honor, He wa
