high school pupils. Our high school
boys and girls are children of whom
We may be justly proud. aThey are the
products of our homes and our excel
lent school system.
They are law abiding children, they
nave always obeyed the laws of our
and and the rules of school and teach
er throughout their school life. In a
few instances. without malice or pre-
meditation they may have. in the past,
had affiliations with secret fraternities.
They do not deserve or merit that
their whole education be wrecked by
unreasonable punishment. Make the
punishment commensurate with the Of
tense.
IF the school board will distinctly
outline a rule as to secret fraterni-
ties, our children will respect and fol-
low these laws the same as they have
all other rules and laws. Our chill
dren are not outlaws, neither are the
parents encouraging them TO be diSre-
spectful to laws. There may be an
honest dlHerence Of opinion as to this
particular law but there can be no diff
terence of oninion as to the fact that
when fraternities have existed for years
IT our high school by and with the
knowledge of the school board and
teachers, the board should first exhaust
all reasonable efforts for the suppress
sion of fraternities before resorting to
such harsh penalty as expulsion,
thereby running the education of the
child.
Higher education means much to
these boys and girls. The future life
of our country is in their hands. Edu-
cation should be made enjoyable and
attractive to them. and not repulsive.
Nothing will teach such a disrespect
for education as unjust and unfair
rules with unreasonable and unmerited

GOES TO THE ROCK ISLAND.
Rumors That Ridgway's Appointment
May Affect Moffatt Road.

e. The fact that Amos Carl Ridgway,
who has been made assistant to F. O..
Melcher, second vice president of the
Rock Island system, with headquar-
tiers in Chicago, and in charge of oper-
alton, was once with the Moffatt road
as general manager and director of
construction, is causing gossip in Colo
RADIO. In spite of denials that the
Rock Island is to be interested in the
Moffatt road, it is now insisted upon
as a possibility, the idea being that it
will be instrumental in bringing about
the completion of the road to Salt
Lake City.
Mr.. Ridgway is regarded as one of
the best mountain road operators and
builders in the country, and while it
was generally understood after he left
the Denver & Rio Grande several
months ago that he had his plans
made for the future, it was not known
that he was to enter the service of the
Rock Island.

For many years DR.. Hartman has in

except that It is epidemic in form.
He asserts that any internal rem

phase of catarrh.
Wishing to ascertain the exact facts
concerning the grip bacilli, an inter
ested person interviewed DIR. Hartman.
who is considered an authority on the
nature and treatment of grip.
During the course of this interview
DR.. Hartman said: There is no use
trying to avoid the grip bacilh.
They are everywhere. They float
in the air. They swarm in the drink
ing water. They cling to everything
we eat or wear. Avoidance is impos
sible. +.
The only thing to be done is to so
fortify the system that their invasion
shall be harmless.
If the mucous membranes lining
the nose, throat, bronchial tubes and
stomach are kept perfectly free from
catarrh, the grip baciili cannot easily
enter the system.

A FATHER.
NOT MARRIED AT ALL
kansans Went to Indiana to Use a
Kansas Marriage License.

Kansas City. Kan. Jan. 12-van B.
Prather, judge of the probate court of
Wyandotte county, is of the opinion
that the marriage of James Ringwalt
OF this city and Regina Brown of Pa
mona. Kansas is Illegal because the
license. obtained from Judge Prather
December was not used in the state
in which it was obtained. The Ii
cense was returned to Judge Prather
by mail. The blanks filed in at the
bottom of the license showed that they
had been married December at the
home of Vestae Berkart, Fountain
county, Indiana, by the Rev. Isaiah
Whitman, pastor of Lutheran
church.
A dispatch from Indianapolis says a
license issued in Kansas is not good
in Indiana. Hence. Mr.. Ringwalt and
Miss Brown must obtain a new license
and be remarked there or return to
Kansas to use the license they have.
1.-The Kansas law provides that a
license is good only in the state in
which it was obtained Judge Pra-

says that a license from any state is
good this marriage is not legal, and

will the click. click. click of the tele-
graph instrument be heard on the
Hannibal division of the Chicago, Bur-
lington & Quincy railroad, not even in
the general offices at st. Louis or Han
nibal, but instead it will be the Jingle,
jingle, jingle of the telephone. By the
latter part of next week every tele
graph instrument on this division will
have been removed and all train dis
patching and message sending will be
carried on over the telephone, which
is considered by the Burlington Off
Gals to be a much easier. quicker and
safer way. Nearly all of the telegraph
instruments on the Hannibal division,
and also on the Mexico line, were si-
fenced few nights ago, but some dis
patching is yet being done by tele-
graph, owing to the fact that the tele-
phone line is not quite complete.

Other Items of General Interest
in Railroad Circles.

This is the time of the year when the
railroads over the country are prepar-
ing to make known the result of their
budget meetings. The budget meetings
this year have been delayed somewhat
on some of the roads on account of the
wholesale changes in the official lists
For instance the Rock Island and the
Frisco have both been set back in the
preparation of their 1910 budgets on ac-
count of the recent divorce of the two
roads, It has been announced SEVERN
times in the State Journal that the new new
year budgets of the Rock Island Woulo
include a large amount OF plock sisHal
work on the line and would also IN
clude the plans for the double tracking
of the road between Topeka and Her
ington. 1t has also been announces
that the Santa F'e would complete Dy
i. the issue of their new budget, tne mas
sive plans of double tracking the whole
line from Chicago to the west 10 Call-
fornia.
The Union Pacific plans have not been
mentioned. The Hartman followers
have not given hint OF their new
plans until the last few days and now
II is almost certain, according to the
local Union Pacific officials that large
number of general improvements nave
been decided upon.
1t is a certainty, according to the Of
s.,
almost wholly the completion of the
formers plans for block signals, double
tracks and all-steel equipment. To
make railway travel absolutely safe
was the great ambition of E. H. Harrl-
man. and although he was not able to
accomplish all of his designs before his
death, the work Of protecting the safety
of travel along his immense system
will be carried out
Within the next two years it is esti-
mated that the entire Hartman system
comprising the Union Pacific, the
Southern Pacific and the subsidiary
lines will be protected by block signal
systems. The Union Pacific and the
Hartman lines now have about 5000
miles of block signal systems in opera
ton. To cover the entire main line and
SUBSIDIARY lines with the blocks are the
plans now on foot. The equipment of
this vast amount of territory means an
expenditure of millions of dollars and IS
enough for the entire budget of any
railroad. Block signals are about as
costly a railroad improvement as is
made.
In and Out of Topeka.
In Kansas the block signals are in use
between Kansas City and Topeka and
