SOME ASTONISHING FTEUREs.

The New York state public service
commission for the First district, that
is, New York city, has just published
its second annual report and an inter-
esting analysis of it is made by the Chi
cago Tribune which points out, what
will be apparent to everyone, that some
of the figures are really most suFpris-
ing. AS the Tribune says, they tell their
own story. For example, it is stated
that the elevated. surface, and subway
lines in New York city carry annually
over 1900, 100000 passengers, which is
over &c per cent more than the total
number of passengers carried on the
steam railroads of the entire country.
These companies have a capitalization
of over 1888, 600, 900 and derive annually
from their passengers over $4,000 000"
AS to sales of gas and electricity. 1t
is shown that the capitalization of gas
and electric companies is over 1886, OOO,-
900. The amount of gas sold annually
is more than $32, 900, 900 cubic feet,
which is more than 20 per cent of the
entire gas production of abe rest of the
United States. The annual income from
the sale of electricity in the city is over
SIC, 900, 900.
Some other features of the report have
interest. The commission received and
Investigated 1900 complaints during the
year. Against the car line service there
We're 5000 complaints. Against the gas
and electric corporations nearly 5000
complaints We're filed, "but in none OF
these cases did the commission find it
necessary to issue an order" The quo
tation seems to imply either that carp
ing critics were unnecessarily numer-
Gus, or else that the companies show
ed a willingness to cooperate in sat
isfying patrons.
Against the traction receipts of $62,-
0O0, 600 there were some claims, too. The
number of accidents reached nearly
so 900 during the year in 600 instances
persons being killed. The commission is
giving much attention to the problem of
protecting human life by means of
caution on the part of employees 1.-The
second largest cause of accidents arises
from faults of employees are signifi-
cant words.
The difficulty of providing adequate
iservice is indicated by the astonishing
statement that $4,000, 900 more fare pas
sengers were carried than in 1907 LAS
an average. this means than there were
1S0, 900 more passengers each day DUR
ing the year than on the day before. u
The problem of the rush hours is treat
ed by itself. but the figures show that
there is greater problem than that oil
"strap hanging" 1t is: How are the
roads to keep up with the steady in

A SALT RISING ADMINISTRATlO
Political writer's have decided that
the Stubbs term in the gubernatorial
chair shall be called the salt Rising
administration" If you have noticed
it, the families that have salt rising
bread on their tables are those that
work for an honest living six days in
the week and rest and attend church
on Sunday and above all are families
that do things. We don't claim that it
Is any virtue in the salt rising that
makes this so, but If naming the
Stubs administration salt rising
will only result in the state officers
working six days in the week for the
peoples good and resting on Sunday
so that they will be ready to begin
all over again on Monday, we endorse
the name heartily.-Lawrence World.
DALLAS LIKES COMMISSION.
The city of Dallas. which has COM
pleted its first term of commission
government and is now ready to re-
elect, has petitioned for the continual
ton of the commission system. The
notable success of commission govern
ment was SO generally admitted that
the petition to continue 1t contained
1000 names secured without spec
ial canvass.

A Great Bend man received a check
recently for 100000 in payment for

in that locality refer to this as "a little

An American Eagle was brought to
earth not long ago by a Clay Center
hunter. This is the second bird of the
kind that has been killed in that To-

states there are laws prohibiting the
killing of them.

The late Senator ingalls,. of Kansas.
was noted for his ready retorts and
epigrams, which were not always de-
void of the sting and smart to those
to whom they were addressed. 1t Is
related that once, when engaged in a
controversy with a senator from Del
aware, he evaded the real question by
saying: Il thank the senator from
that great state which has three coun-
ties at low tide and two counties at
high tide."-Youth's Companion.
A Copeland hotel story is recalled by
the fire. When a certain we'll known
politician was first elected to the leg
islature from a western county he had
no state acquaintance. He want to
develop one right away. He went to
Copeland direct. He reached there on
Wednesday. He was dusty and dirty
and tired from travel. He registered
and asked for the best room In the
house The clerk gave him a parlor
"a" with a bath. When shown to his
room he spied the bath tub first thing.
Gosh, that looks tempting" said he.
