The people of Kansas City have reg
istered a vote against the extension of
the franchise of the street railway COM
pany OF that city. Without reference
to the existing terms on which the ex-
tension was sought, the verdict may be
interpreted as indicating the purpose
of the citizens to have the valuable
franchise come directly within their
control. While the present company
still has sixteen years of life, it will
eventually find itself in a place where
the public may prescribe the terms I'M
der which it shall exist. This is in
line with the general trend of modern
thought. While in many cases the
people expect, perhaps, too much of a
public service corporation, it is but the
swinging of the pendulum to the other
extreme, for in the past it has beer too
frequently the policy of the public
service corporation 70 give too little.
Valuable franchises will no longer be
awarded merely as an encouragement
TO enterprise, and corporations formed
for the purpose Of providing public
service will necessarily have to make
their offers attractive in order to Sc
cure the privileges sought.

that the Intervention of the law for the
alleged purpose of protecting children
from parental neglect is working the
wonders the reformers promised for it.
Abuses have arisen under the divorce
laws and cases have come up wherein
the juvenile court has served a good
purpose, but so far experience has
proven that the demand for reforma-
tion represented by these two methods
is more apparent than real. The fam
lily, if left to itself. is quite as apt to
work out its W salvation as it is
when directed in its development by a
law designed and administered by
theorists.

Congressional Criticism.

Some of the members Of congress
house with attacks upon officials Of
the executive department for criticisms
Of that body. One of the representa-
tives even went so far as to assert that
the auditor Of the district ought to be
discharged for making some such
statements.
Sensitiveness is an excellent thing in
public servants, for it enables those
who do not agree with their attitude
on any matter to say the very things
that will touch the spot aimed at. while
the man with a walrus hide must fire.
q~uently be given up as hopeless. The
public will therefore welcome the
knowledge that congressman are sus-
ceptible to criticism, albeit that is a
weapon that some times cuts both
ways.
But the attempt to smother a citi-
zen's ideas just because he happens to
be in the government service will meet
with considerable opposition from
those who hold that this is a land of
free speech. How would it do for all
those public servants outside of con-
gress to agree to cease public dis
cussion of congressional acts when
members of the house shall cease open
attacks upon fellow members and upon
administration policies and their ex-
ponents? What a dull and somber
place the floor of the house would gel

A number Of people have made In
quiry of Henry Swindler concerning
their right to register for a chance
at a homestead on the Standing Rock
and Cheyenne Agency. The question
which has been propounded to him
was whether a man who had taken
up his homestead right some years
ago and received his final proof from
the government under the I'VE year
right would have the right to regis
ter for another homestead. Mr..
Swindler consulted several lawyers
on the proposition, and got informa-
ton which was conflicting. He decid-
ed to write Judge Witten at Aber-
deem and submit the question Ia, him.
Mr.. Swindler received the following
reply:
Mr.. Henry swindler, Mitchell. s. D.
Dear sir:-A person who has OBJ
tained title under the homestead law
by five years. residence on a quarter
section Of public land has exhausted
his homestead rights and cannot

Winter made a second knock at
the door Wednesday to get in and
while there was no amount Of desire
to let him in he came just the same
with chilling effect. The mercury
went chasing down to a much Lower
point than Tuesday morning, and
never found a resting place until II
touched at IA degrees. AS a general
rule this is an excessive low mark
for October, and there has been but
one year before in the past 10 years
when October displayed anything
like such wintry conditions. That
was in the year 1899. when the mer-
curry went to Il degrees on the very
first day of the month. Its an open
question whether winter is going to
really start in quite early or not.
Weather prophets are giving out
forecasts both ways, and the best the
ordinary person cal do is to simply
await the developments.
