Whose Breaketh an Hedge, Serpent
Shall Kill Him.

An hedge is a fence made of brush
or growing trees to separate on
mans enclosure from another. When
torn away. they are infested with
snakes, which often bite the people
engaged in the work. As here used,
hedge" has been explained to mean
a restraint or law-something thrown
around us to keep US from infringing
on our neighbor's rights.
When people break the laws Of
their country and bring about state
of lawlessness, they are laying them
selves liable to be bitten by the SER
pent in the cup-the serpent whose
bite is so fatal.
/ have been told that the roadsides
are strewed with cases and wrap
pings of liquor bottles, and the great

this march of the liquor-god Is far
more destructive than Sherman's 9
march to the sea in the sixties?
The cry among the people is,

touch of hard times this year. but
instead of needing the warning, peo-
pie are recklessly spending their
money for "that which is not bread
and for somethingthat satisfeth not. "
Some of the renters made only
cotton enough to pay rent, but were
allowed by an all-merciful God, to
make fair corn crop and good pea
crop. Instead Of using this money
wisely, they are sending of for whis-
key and leaving their supply bills
unpaid. It doesn't take philoso-
pher to tell what the result will be.
Now, while prohibition is a great
Improvement over the dispensary,
still it is not what it ought to be.
Are our loyal citizens doing their part
to check this lawlessness? BY your

NEW POSITION FOR FISHER.
Topeka Santa Fe Telephone Engineer
May Go to Gaunt.

1t is reported around the general Of
fees of the Santa Fe this afternoon
that E. R. Fisher, telephone engineer
for the road, will leave the service at
once and take up a position with the
Western Union under c. IN Gaunt with
headquarters at San Francisco.
l. M Jones, superintendent of tele-
graph of the Santa Fe, is out of the
city-also Mr.. Fisher. The rumor
could not be confirmed from these
sources.
Since c. H. Gaunt left the service of
the Santa F'e in Topeka as superintend-
ent of telegraph and has taken up his
residence in San Francisco he has
taken with him three good strong Off
Gals of this road.
E. r. Fisher has been chief tele-
phone engineer with headquarters at
Topeka for some time and is a valuable
man in the service. He is especially
valuable to the Santa Fe at this time
on account of the extensive telephone
dispatching improvements which are
being made all over the system

THIN FOLKS MADE FAT

Good healthy flesh can only be
gained by the use of the proper food,
together with natural action of the or
gans of assimilation. Nine people out
they ought and be perfectly healthy,
should use Samose, the great flesh
forming food and health restorer.
Samose does not contain a particle
of starch of pepsin, nor is it any naus-
eating preparation, such as is usually
recommended to make people fat and
which does not build UP good healthy
tissues. Samose has valuable flesh
forming properties, tones up and
strengthens the whole system, helps
the food that is eaten to be assim-
Hated in a natural manner, and abso-

for its construction had been provided
before the financial trouble of 1907
came on. If any one could have fore-
seen this panic, the money for these
5000 miles would have been hard to
get. This is borne out by the fact that
there has been no large construction
undertaken since the completion of the
above contracts.
The present policy of many of the
western states in stopping railroad
construction is not inimical to exist
ing railway securities. AS a matter
of fact, If we are to have no more
new railroad construction, the exist
ing securities are made better as the
development along existing roads adds
to their value While the present
stoppage may be to the interest of
the satisfied railway investors, it is
against the interests of the western
country which needs the development
In New England and most of the
eastern states railroad building was
practically finished before the Da-
kotas, Wyoming, Idaho, Utah, Wash

The government reports show that
there were on, on June 80, 1907, "a

United States. One year later, al
though the railroad mileage had in
creased over 300 miles, there were
only Il employees per mile, so that
instead of an increase of $4,000 en-
ployees to operate the new mileage,
there was a decrease of 214,O en-

railroad employees, more than one

While we are all in favor of con-
servation of our natural resources, We
are not in favor of conserving them by
nonuse The railroads are the largest
purchasing powers of the country
Prior to the panicky conditions of
1907, they were purchasing one-half
of the steel products of the United
States made from the ore beds and
coal mines of the country, and one
fourth of the lumber.
It is not the people who own the ore
beds and coal fields and the trees or
the forests who are the most seriously
affected, but labor, commencing with
the man who Yields the axe to cut the
tree to make the tie and the man who
uses the pick to take the ore from the
mines to make the rails and spikes.
This Generalization extended to
manufacturing, industrial, agricultural

Never in the history of the country
were the bread lines so long or so
many people out of work. AS said,
we can not always tell what IS going to
happen, but we know what has taken
place in the past. The cessation of
railroad construction should now be
taken as a warning to the west.

letter Cook was on the sea from De-

he has heard nothing from Cook

arctic reputation.
