foul play is not condoned by anybody
in this country. Regardless of their
former attitude toward General Otis

people OF that and other California
cities are one and all intensely
aroused over the dastardly crime per-

Where win They Retrench

Democrats are making much of the
charge of extravaganza against repub-
licans as a campaign argument, ignor-
ing facts of record. They are circulate
ing in all their literature and declar-
ing from the stump that the net ex-
pense of running the government
under the Taft administration is ST.
900, 100000 and that II the democrats
should be entrusted with power they
would reduce the expense of govern
ment by $500, 100000.
This is fair sample of democratic
perspicuity II also involves their
sense of honor. In the first place, as
President Taft has himself shown
from the records, the net expense of
running this government is s65O,OOO,-
900 and not $1,000. OOO.O There
fore, II our democratic friends were to
conduct the government $500. 600, 600
less than $1,000. 200, they still
would be squandering $4,000, 900
over and above what is required by
the republican party for guiding the
ship OF state one year. The statement
as to looping off the $500, 900, 600, of
course, is made without any more
thought of investigation than pre-
eeded the false statement that the

The return Of Mayor william ]. Gaynor
to his official duties is a source of gratifi-
cation to all citizens. His physical condl-
ton is not as robust as could be wished,
but is mendng rapidly. A supreme test Of
his strength is approaching. however, and
II he bears the ordeal with patience all
will be well. Medical journals are already
discussing the bills of the doctors, limiting
as to their size and discussing the ad-
visibility Of the city footing the bills. That
course is the proper one. The assault was
committed not because the victim was
William ]. Gaynor, but because he is the
mayor and caused the discharge OF the
would-be assassin. The United states gov
eminent paid the doctors bills. amounting
to $4,000. incurred in connection with the
assassination Of President Mckinley. Cos
sip in New York medical circles has it
that the Gaynor doctors will send in bills
aggregating $4,000, covering three weeks
or more of attendance, as against only one
week in the Mckinley case. 1t is also said
that the bills will be sent to Mr.. Gaynor
and not to the city. But bills of any such
amount as that will be sent in the notion
that the city will pay them and not Mr..
Gaynor personally. He Is not multi
millionaire and only they could stand such
charges for a brief medical attendance.

Railroad Freight Rate Case.

A stopping place must be found some

freight rate tax, and as far as the testi-
mony of the railroads has gone there is
nothing to show that now is not the
proper time and place. The railroad bus
mess is undoubtedly going to increase and
increase steadily, but there is no reason
why it should be permitted to be the

atoo betrayed his stowaway friend by the

Malcolm bought the bird year ago and
named him TiddledeYinks. He hung the
bird on a perch in one of the upper COM
partments of the after hold. He was sur
prlsed a week after the ship had left
Singapore by being greeted one morning
as he entered the hold with a shout of
'Hello!
He inquired among the crew whether
any one had been teaching Tiddledewinks
the English language, but all the men
denied any acquaintance with the bird.
So Malcolm told his theory to the chief
engineer.
''Marvelous!" the chief engineer ex-
claimed. But I'll bet you've guessed
wrong"
Come and see." Malcolm replied.
He led the chief engineer to the hold,
where they were greeted with loud hellos
by Tddledewinks. Malcolm's reply was
brisk call Of:
Come out of there, you stowaway. We
know where you are"
And the stowaway came forth. He
pointed to Tiddledewinks and said;<

CONDUCTOR MERRY
If YOU PLEASE
The Manner in Which he Managed
His Train and Handled Crowd
Was Excellent

Last Saturday morning on going
to the local freight train which vas
to carry the large crowd of Poca-
hontas people to Reyno to attend
the picnic, we found that conditions
had changed and that there was a
fine chair car attached to the local.
At first we thought that in all prob
ability the Superintendent 0f the
road had arrived Friday night on a
tour of inspection Of the road. We
searched the passenger depot and
also the freight house for the con
ductor and porter with the blue coat
and brass buttons, but they "were
nowhere to be found" We thought
that we had a good local story for
the Star Herald and at once sought
a private interview with Agent
Oscar Keith, who quietly Informed
us that the officials of the Frisco,
recognizing the ability of Sour
own" Ellis Merry, had sent him a
special coach and had also placed
HIM in charge of the train for the
occasion. Thinking that Merry
had been promoted we tried to get
an interview with him hut he was
so "darned" busy making up his
train that he would hardly notice
us. He had a big train out Of Poca-
hontas and large crowd of passen-
gers. On leaving Poplar Bluff he
had thirty loaded cars, besides a
large number of passengees. The
boys on the train, which formed his
crew said that he handled the train
and passengers in manner that
would make some of the sold heads"
envious. When it c. mes to rail
road men Pocahontas can furnish
the goods every time.
