GOVERNOR SHAFROTH
AT GEORGETOWN


Governor Shafroth's opening of
the campaign at Georgetown Mon
day night was a distinct triumph.
The big rally was held at the
opera house, which was packed.
Scores of the most prominent re-
publicans and democrats attended
the meeting and united in giving
to the chief executive of the state
a splendid welcome.
A prearranged attempt to harass
the governor with questions proved
to be boomerang for the man
who was put forward to carry out
the scheme. The governor turned
the tables on his antagonist in
such manner as to win the en-
thusiastic sympathy of the audi
ence, and eventually the questioner
was forced to retire from the hall
in humiliation and dismay.
James Hancock, a merchant,
interrupted the governor at the
very beginning of his speech.
Hancock started to read an editor
ial which appeared in the Denver
Times. The editorial declared
that the initiative and referendum
would introduce the biggest
newspaper graft in history, and
went on to give some visionary
figures about the cost of publish
ing laws submitted to a vote
of the people.
The audience realized instantly
that Hancock was carrying out a
prearranged program and they be-
gan to hiss and denounce him.
Governor Shafroth, however, in
sisted that the man be given u
chance to read the article. When
quiet was restored the governor
invited Hancock to the stage. and
there the questioner read the edi-
torial paragraph by paragraph.
At the end of every paragraph the
governor gave his answer. So
effective were the answers that the
chief executive was rewarded with
storms OF applause.
The questioner soon found his
position intolerable and left the
stage. A few moments later be
retired from the hall amid shouts
Of derision.
The governor showed that the
argument embodied in the editori-
al had been used until it was thread
bare in all the states that had
fought for the initiative and ref
erendum. After these states had
adopted the initiative and referen-
dunn the argument was no longer
tenable.
The governor showed that the

initiative and referendum. as sub.
mitted to the voters of. Colorado,

ture or to the people the right Of

Trains Laid Out in Yards in
Many Places.
NOT ENOUGH CREWS.
Sometimes Trains Are Stopped
Within Sight of Destination.
Rule Is Causing Much Grief to
Shippers.

One of the effects of the law which
requires that when a train crew has
been on duty 16 hours they shall be
relieved for hours is to more COM
pletely tie up freight trains on the
roads operating in Kansas. Night
after night freight trains are tied up
In the yards Of some small town for
hours. the 16 hours which trainmen
may work having expired and it being
necessary to allow them to take their
rest before proceeding further.
The effect of this practice upon
freight traffic may be imagined.
Farmers going to market with stock
are victims of this ruling, who feel 1t
more keenly, perhaps, than do others
Thursday trainload of stock made
up of carload shipments of cattle be-
longing to small farmers between To-
peka and Harrington was stopped at
Bonner Springs, a small station near
Kansas City, and held there three
hours while a train crew was found
at Kansas City and sent to Bonner
Springs to relieve the men who had
finished their 16 hours, almost within
sight of heir destination, but who
were required to stop the train and
rest eight hours.
The feelings of a farmer whose
stock is shiverfng in the cars within a
few miles of the market and whose
AA1AlA 1Iet5 DeSu QOIdyCQ through HO
fault of his own may be better inn
agined than told. Yet such cases are
without number.
All roads are affected in the same
way by the ruling, and since the cold
weather began early in December, the
railroad yards in small towns on every
road have Seen filed with trains lay
Ing over the 8 hours required by law,
while the train crew, instead of rest
Ing, puts in the time in the waiting
room telling how much the train dis
patcher ought TO know about his bust
ness and how little he really does
know.
There are a number of cases in which
stockmen have failed to reach Kan
sas City in time for the markets of the
day they expected to sell their stock and
have been compelled to lay over until
the next day to dispose of their stuff.
This, of course. is encouraging and
cheers the stockmen.
While the trainmen may or may not
like the ruling the shippers do not The
rule may be all right but they cannot
understand while, if the trainmen must
lay over eight hours. an arrangement
cannot be made whereby another crew
can be furnished in time to avoid such
delays. And with the cold weather and
the law requiring the eight hour lay
over working we'll the movements of a
freight train are not at all hard to keep
pace with.
