Work on the Shops.

The nice weather has been par
teularly favOrahy for the build
ing OF the new shops and yards
and small army of men have all
TALL been kept busy on thediffer-
ent jobs. The snow of yesterday
was the first spell of weather to
hinder the work this fall and It
lasted but a short time.
The roof is nearly completed on
the machine shop. 1t is by far
the largest of all the buildings,
and puts up fine appearance.
The steel workers are still busy
putting the heavy girders into
place and keeping up a cOntin-
ual rattle with the compressed air
rlveting machines. 1t is interest
ing to watch the wOrkmen away
up overhead catching the red hot
rlvetS that are tossed to them by
the men below and quickly put
them in place and beat the heads
flat with the riveter.
Concrete forms have been erect
ed In the power house for machin-
cry foundations and several car
loads of machines have been un-
loaded for installation there. The
two powerful boilers have been
unlOaded that will furnish power.
The frame work for the round
house is partially up. The pits
are nearly all completed and a big
gang of labOrerS are busy wheel
ing dirt in the round house, and
also in the machine shop.
The concrete gang seems TO-
lave an endless job as they have
Leen busy ever since work was
started Last summer, and train
loads of concrete material are be-
ing unlOaded still.

Madison and the
Payne-Aldrich Tariff Bill.

When Congressman Madison
voted for the Payne-Aldrich tar.
Mf bill on its final passage, he
directly endorsed the lumber
schedule contained in the bill.
That schedule was drawn by the
owners of forests in the United
States who do not desire any CON-
petition from the vast forests of
British America or Mexico. The
lumbermen of the UNITED States
wanted a monopoly of the lumber
market and fixed the schedule
accordingly, and for the sake of
party regularity, Congressman
Madison voted for the bill on its
final passage, and when he did 50,
he voted against every one of his
constituents in the seventh dis
trict and against the conservation
OF our forests.
Every man who uses a stick of
timber is affected by the lumber
schedule of the Payne-Aldrich
tariff bill. Congressman Madison
knew this when he voted for the
bill, which contained many other
abominable jobs. He thought that
party regularity was worth more
TO him than the interests of his
constituents, so he bent the preg--
hhgess of his knees in order to
secure the appreciation of Aldrich
and Cannon.
Ex-President Roosevelt saws,
that when a public servant is
untrue to the interests of his con-
SiltuentS that he should be defeat
ed. When the voters of the
seventh district give their con-
grcSsman tb understand that he
will be defeated if he betrays
them. thp fima will ooma ,,,bo,, al .
dlStric' will be- faithfully rep
resented. q
Congressman Madison by his
vote against the interests of the
people Of This district has for
felted his right to the support of
his republican friends.-IIutchin-
son Gazette.

A Shooting Affray.

The east yards was the scene
OF a general shooting affray that
wound up in justice court Tues
day afternoon.
A large number of BulgarianS.
HungarianS and Greeks, are en-
plOyed on the new shops and the
yards as common labOrerS and on
Sunday night a bunch of them
were sent to the east yards to do
some work. After the work was
completed they got in a mix-up
with another bunch who were in
a bunk car and revOlvers were
brought into play with serious re-
suits. The bunch in the ear say
that the fellows who were sent
over to do the work tried to
break into their premises, while
the other fellows claim that the
bunch in the car started shooting
at them. However, three of the
fellows in the car got shot, one
of them over the right eye, and
two of them suffering flesh
wounds. The fellow who got hit
over the eye is in the hospital re-
ceiving treatment and the others
are at large. Five men who are
supposed to have done the shoot
ing were locked UP Monday night
and tried before Justice Baker on
Tuesday afternoon. One was
turned loose, and a charge of as
Sault with intent to kill was en-
tered against Geo. StOchOff, jim
POndO, Chris Savre, and Pete
Nick. They were bound over to
district court under $500 bonds
to await trial. Some of their
friends who seem to have plenty
of money expect to furnish bail.
Mr.. Jordan, head of the Mo. Pac.
special agent force at this point,
says the men have lots Of money
and no doubt bonds for their r
leeaSe will be put up. Deputy
Sheriff Shattuck took the men
to Jail at Great Bend Tuesday af-
ternoOn.-IIoiSingtOn Dispatch.

lhe lime About Here for New Years than Heretofore
About the Editor.

When the question comes up
for or against the welfare of the
town, the editor of a newspaper
has to 60 on record before the
whole people. His remarks have
to stand out boldly before friend
or foe. 1t matters not whether
it hurts his business or nOt-and
It often does hurt it-he has to
come out In the open and take a
stand. How is it with others! A
few of them have the nerve to
stand up and express themselves
under any and all circumstances,
but a majority are business cow
ards or probably more. properly
speaking, selfish policy men. They
are all things to all men. They
won't open their mouths if they
think they are going TO antagOn-
lie the opinions of a customer or
friend in the presence of OppOn-
ents they shut up like clans for
fear they lose a dOllOr or make
an enemy. Why should not the
same everyday frankneSS be ex-
pected from all men that is ex-
pected Of the editor. What woul
You think of the editor who lack
ed the nerve to stand up for what
he believed was right regardless
OF the fact that it sometimes los
es hlm business? If you expect
the editor to come out openly and
stand up for the cause, has he. not
a right to expect your cOmmen-
dalton and endorsement as. pub
hcly and openly as you have op-
portunity. These burdens should
be Shared.-GeO. T. Smith.
