High School Notes

We understand that our Freshmen

The basket ball game at Liberal
Thursday night resulted IN a score
of 81 10 in favor of Meade.
Rev. Kjellen of Emporia for
mer friend of Prof. Comfort made
an address on Tuesday morning.
Examination papers are graded
and show good grades in most sub
jects. We as students feel that all
thanks for work we'll done should
be given to our excellent teachers,
for we feel that M. H S. has in
structors who cannot be surpassed
in rhis part of the state.
A report of the basket ball game
at Liberal Thursday night was
given Monday morning by Mr..
Robinson and other members of
the team. Mr.. Robinson gave a
brief review of the game. McMeel
sang the praises of Innis, while that
modest worthy declared that he
didn't know much about the game.
Supposed everybody played we'll.
Campbell and O. Perkins said they
had nothing to add. The most 81
Perkins could remember was that
they had an awful good supper and
Skeeter Dalgarn said Liberal had
"a fine High School and lots of High
School spirit, also lots of fine girls,
but all agreed that they had received
courteous treatment and that the
Liberal people are excellent enter
tainers We are looking forward to
the return game.

Is off its right OF way The problem OF dealing
with trespassers is most serious from the fact
that the Pennsylvania lines go through the most
densely settled parts Of the country.
During the last eleven years. according to
circular issued by the company, more than so.-
600 persons were killed and $1,000 injured in this
country while trespassing on the property of the
railroad During the same period on an average
rs per year were killed on the the Pennsylvania
tracks property.
A strenuous campaign against trespassers was
started by the company several years ago with
the hope Of decreasing this high death rate. Ten
thousand arrests were made during 1000, but this
seems TO have had little effect for the high aver
age Of deaths continued In order 10 reduce the
number Of deaths the laws against trespassing
on railway property will have to be rieidly en-
forced, but the company has been confronted
with Judges and magistrates who hesitate about
applying the law and often censure the railroad
officer for making the arrest II should be re-

GIVE THEM A FAIR CHANCE.

NATURALLY enough the public is keeny
interested in the Philadelphia and Will
mineton Traction Company which has taken over
the property Of the Interstate Railway Company
south of Philadelphia and which will control the
electric lighting and power service Of Whining
ton together with the Automatic Telephone Com
pany As a result OF the merger there will be
no competition in electric service the street rail
wav service will remain as IT is so far as the
ownership is concerned. and there is no change
in the telephone situation
The merger is not unexpected. Long ago in
a general article on these matters The Journal
predicted that ii would be only question OF
time before there would be some such step as
that which has been taken II has been set down
as a rule BY writers on these subjects that there
can be no competition between public service
corporations and where there is so-called com
petition il is. the exception and not the rule.
The new company realize the public concern
in their doings in the statement which they have
issued They practically ask for public support
and consideration and fair deal And there Is
no disposition to give them anything else.
We should welcome the new owners and give
them every opportunity. For our part we think
they have a big task on their hands owing to the
condition of the properties The new owners
realize that Improvements and bcttermcnts are
needed As they say they have determined to
risk their money in an effort to build up these
properties and to make them more profitable
while al the same time the new owners propose
TO give the people better service. But as the new
owners say these Improvements cannot be ac-
compshed at once. and there will be no dispo-
sition TO ask them to do the impossible.
While they as we'll as others familiar with the
properties know the difficulties that confront tho
new. owners, we see no reason why the properties
should not become very profitable TO them that
is. unless too great sum is required to meet
the interest charges
The modern way Of dealing with public ser
vice corporations IS regulation BY means OF a
Public Service Commission to safeguard the in
tfrests Of the public which grants such corpora
tons authority to do what as rule is monopo
! listic business

The other day newspaper despatch
from Franklin. Pa, told that former
congressman Joseph c. sibiey had spent
over forty thousand dollars to win the
Republican nomination for Congress IN
his district. or something less than four
dollars for every vote he received in the
primary. The hero Of to-day's snecdole Is
a man who spent not one red cent to &C.
cure a congressional nomination and only
TWO cents during the entire campaign
that resulted IN his being sent 10 Con-
xress. The anecdote was told to me In
1854 BY the late George u. Robinson, who
that year came prominently before the
country as the victor over Benjamin r.

campaign.
