enthusiastically extended Aunt Carri

seem to have been the least bit pre-
mature. She has not yet ended her
ampaigning.
When she bought farm in Arkan-
sas few weeks ago 1t was announc-
ID that she proposed, henceforth, to
lead the quiet and law abiding life.
But after her brief recess she finds
that there Is SO much Of the pristine e
'in walking about unrebuked that she
simply can't fight down the dmpulse
to hit somebody or something.
She wdlI make her home on her
farm, but she assures the world that
the delights Of a bucohc life will not
cause her to forget entirely her mis-
sion; that. from time to time she
will make herself heard, as of yore.
She will spend at least a half OF
her time travelling.
That announcement will be re-
lief to her neighbors. at any rate.

department now apraises the nler-

mates its value, and adds 1t to the

vides that Its provisions shall not

Fixing Tho Blanc.

Last Sunday the powers that be
on the Santa Fe held an investiga-
tion of the wreck at Byron one day
last week, during which the Calhor-
MA Limited sideswiped freight
train and caused considerable damn
age from a dollars and cents stand
point, no one being injured. AS
result Of the investigation Engineer
Newt Edwards and Fireman Denman
Of the California Limited, and Con-
ductor Carraher Of the freight train.
were discharged from the service
The Santa Fe itsek was really to
blame IN the matter. The freight
train was a double header, and the
train was so long. seventy or more
cars, that the sidetrack at Byron
could not accommodate 1t. When the
engines OF the freight reached the
east end Of the switch there were
still half a dozen cars on the main
line at the west end Of the switch.
Both the switch and the main line
are on the worst curves between La
Junta and Dodge City. The crew of
the freight signalled their engineer
to go ahead IN order to clear the
main line, and the engineer Of the
California Limited. who could not
see either the freight train or the
west swith, thought 1t was a signal
for him. He went ahead and the
wreck was the result. The Santa Fe
ought to spend a lntlle money length
ening its sidetracks. II they want to
run trains OF seventy cars dn order
to cut down expenses. The cost Of
this, little wreck would pay the ex-
pense Of maintaining several addi-
tional train crews for several trips.
II the sidetrack had been long enoug
the accident would not have occurred.
So 1t was entirely the fualt OF the
Santa Fe management instead Of the
employees who suffered.-La Junta

That Lindsey Nuisance Again.

1t is high time that some thing
were done to put an end to the ex-
hibitions of a disordered mind which
the Judge of the juvenile court Of
Denver is giving as continuous
performance these days. People who
do not know him as he is known
in Denver as a spiteful. i'll balanced
egotdst with a craving for notoriety,
must form a poor estimate Of com
munity that sets him at large and
permits him without protest to go
traipsing' over the nation fouling
his own nest and abusing reputable
citizens who refused to pay homage
10 his self conceit. In his own in
terest and in theinterest of the pub
lbc office which he holds he ought to
be called lin and obscured for a time
lis fictional tales of persecution and
nartyrdom are SO many evidences OF
lis state OF mind. But the country at
large does not understand and there
in lies the danger.
Judge Lindsey began his political
;areer as a member Of a political
organization that In disreputable
leeds and crimes against the ballot
Is without equa In any city young or
old. His first notoriety came to him
through his "peachlng on his pals
but he would be given more credit
:or honesty OF purpose in reaching
away from his former associates, II
he would exhibit a spirit Of humil-
ity and pentitence. An opportunity
opened to HIM to be Of benefit to his
fellow men in the juvenile court for
the better protection Of youthful Of
tenders. but he has made OF that
stepping stone for political prefer
ment, an advertisement to secure for
i'm engagements to vilHfy men and
nstitutions.-Denver Republican.

MondeJI Bill Gives Moneys To School

MondeJl Blll Gives Moneys o SeHoo'
Fund.
MIR. Mondell OF Wyoming introduced
a bill at the special session which is
bound to attract wide attention, par
ticularly in public land states.
1t provides that all moneys receiv-
ed from the sale Of coal and timber
and stone lands in excess of the
minimum prices Of $40 and 500 per
acre, in the case Of coal lands and
$3.50 per acre, In the case Of tim
Der and stone lands, fixed by stat
ute. shall be. considered excess pay
ments, collected for and on behalf
of the states in which the lands are
situated and shall constitute per-
manent fund for the benefit OF com
mon schools, the proceeds of which
are to be used for the support Of
the common schools of the state as
the legislature may direct.
Until quite recently coal LANDS
within Is miles of railroad were
sold at 500 an acre, lands more than
Is miles from the railroad were sold
at $40 per acre, and all timber and
stone lands were sold at a flat price
of $3.50 per acre. these being the
prices named in the statutes.
A year or so ago the Interior de
parment held taht these were mini
mum prices and that the department
could fix such other and higher pric-
es as they saw fit. The result has
been that as fast as coal lands have
been classified the price has been
raised to as high as $500 per acre
