President Ripley of the Santa re
makes some startling statements about
the railroad situation. He also say IS
many interesting things in regard 10
what the railroads do for the develop
ment of the country and the education
and comfort of their men. and yet ne
says, they get no bouquets, only COO

He declares that while the regulation

America that is denied protectional
legislation; that such laws as are
passed with respect to railroads are
regulatory and restrictive.
He saws the railroads are treated AS
persons outside the common code ana
courtesies of common life; as outlaws
against the truth: as tricksters who
1uggle with figures that they may
cheat the public.
He says politicians are responsible
for the hostile feeling towards rall-
roads; that no new work in his opinion,
except that under way, is likely to be
undertaken until the people silence the
politicians who are jeopardizing both
capital and labor, or turn them out OF
office.
He says the Santa Fe pays taxes in
Topeka and Shawnee county to the
amount of 1000; that 1000 employees
live in Topeka and receive $245,OOO per
month in wages.
These statements are found in an
article published this week in the St.

two lawn tennis players in the party.
The plan thus far ma~ped out is
for a team to arrive in this country
early next summer and to tour Amer
lea from coast to coast, taking part in
team matches and tournaments but
arranging the schedule seems to take
in both the amateur and open cham
pionships. The Australian team as
made up at present consists of eight
golfers and two lawn tennis players,
but it is possible that this number may
be increased.
Prominent among the visitors will
be Michael Scott. the amateur cham
pion OF Australia and open champion
of New South Wales and Victoria He
is brother of o. Scott, who has been
runner up in the amateur champion
ship tournament of Great Britain.
Next on the list is Clyde Pearca- who
has been both open and amateur til
tie holder of Australia. Then there
is Felstead, lefthanded golfer who
recently broke the record for the
course at the Royal Melbourne club.
Last year Felstead won the open
championship tournament of Australia,
beating all the professionals.
Another equally well known golfer
booked for the trip is Duncan five
times champion of New Zealand. and
runner up in the Australian amateur
tournament in 1908.
Bruce Pearce. the youthful phenom-
enon of many titles. also enjoys an
international reputation. This 49,
year-old lad who will b. a member OF
the team. is champion of Tasmania
and South Australia and altogether
he holds no less than 13 minor cham
pionship titles.

Chautauqua on Tuesday, July 10.
Among the prominent statesmen of
America there is possibly no greater
orator than Governor Glenn. One can
rot think of Glenn without recalling
IuS strenuous rate war with the rail-
roads. You will remember how he
arrested the officials of the railroads
VINO violated the state laws, and those
oHlcfais were saved from actual i'm
prlsonn1ent only by complying with the
laws OF the commonwealth, but the
bringing of the railroads to terms was
only one of his many achievements as
governor; he got the state out of debt
made ample provision for The helpless
insane, deaf, dumb. blind. both white
and colored; and believing that tenn
perance was the best thing for the
STATE, he threw his whole energy into
Inc campaign for state wide prohibi-
tlon, delivering over II telling address,
es, and it was largely through his eff
1"rts as governor, that the state rolled
up over $4,000 majority for state wide
prohibition.

A BRIGHT IDEA.

Unusual saoaeity That Was Laudsd by
the Professor.
That the proverbial absentminded
professor is sometimes ably abetted by
his wife is illustrated by q story told
OF Professor Bunsen. One evening
about the usual hour for retiring he
took it into his head to run over to
the club just as he and madam were
returning from an evening call.
But" raid the lady, II must have
the front door locked before retire."
This emergency staggered the pro.
lessor, and as he looked bewildered at
his wife the lady. seized with an in
spiration, continued:
"TI go in and lock the door and
throw you the key. from the window" )"
This program was carried out, and
when he reached the club, the profess.
or related the incident to friend as
evidence Of his wife's unusual sagac-
ity,.
The friend greeted the story with a
roar Of laughter.
"And why, my dear professor" he
said, "did you not simply admit your
wife, lock the door from the outside
and come away?"
"True," calculated the learned man
OF science, 1--WE never thought Of that" !"
The climax of the incident was
reached an hour later when, returning
home, the professor discovered that
the lady in her excitement had thrown
out the wrong key.

counties west of the Missouri river the
last of April. The leasing takes place
at the county seat of each county and
the lands will be struck off to the high
est bider who will be required to pay at
the time the leasing charges. and an
additional fee for the filing of the lease
for each section.
Subsequent year rentals are due the
frst of January of each year and in
default of payment for period of thirty
days the lease will be terminated with
out notice to the holder. A list of the
lands to be leased is on file with the
treasurer of the county in which the land
is located and will be open for inspec-
ton two weeks before the date set for
the leasing of each county.
The land will be leased for hay and
grazing purposes only. No ''hay per-
mits" will be allowed this year and
the only way to get the use of the land
will be by the regular leasing method.
