Attorney General Dawson against the
railroads to compel them to collect
have filed their answer to Mr.. Daw-
sons suit
The last legislature passed new
grain inspection law. Grain dealers
and shippers complain that the in
spection fees are exorbitant. E. J..
Smiley, secretary Of the Kansas Grain
Dealers association, advised the men,
bers of that organization to ship to
Kansas City, Mo-, and sell by sample.
Mr.. Dawson brought suit in mandam-
us to compel the railroads to collect

$500 grain producers and shippers in

the fees provided for by the law are
in excess of what are needed for max

they declare that the police power of
the state is exceeded. Thereby they

letter from the United States senator
from Ohio. When he had read the
letter he turned to Ulysses, saying;
Ulysses, believe you are going to
receive the appointment" What APP
pointment?" the boy asked. ITO West
Point. have applied for it" But
won't CO." Ulysses said. His father
replied, Il think you will. And
Ulysses thought so, too, if his father
did for his father expected obedience.
Ulysses had no objection to going eX-
cept that he had very exalted idea
of the requirements necessary to get
through and could not bear the idea
of failing. He had always desire to
travel, and to go to West Point would
give him the chance to visit Phila-
delphia and New York. He had saved
500 and was proud to be able to pay
so much of his own expenses.
He started for West Point about the
middle of May, 1889, by way of Pitts
burg, Harrisburg and Philadelphia.
He stopped five days in Philadelphia;
an aunt there described him as a
rather awkward country boy, wearing
plain, ill-ftting clothes and large
coarse shoes. His stay in New York
was shorter, and he reported at West
Point May 30. Two weeks later he
passed the examination for admission
without difficulty, much to his sur
prise. In common with all other new
men at West Point, he was bullied
and called all sorts of names. He
felt awkward in his new uniform, and
the innumerable rules and regulations
annoyed him. The boys nicknamed
him Uncle Sam" and then Sam
He became the most daring hofseman
in the academy; he lacked elegance,
however; the southern men, at that
period, led all in social affairs; the
tanners son was among the plebeians
at the school. He soon became known
as most truthful, good and honest,
and one from whom many things
might be expected. He was quiet, but
full of fun and ready for fun. He did
not take to his studies with avidity
and rarely read a lesson over a sec
ond time. Mathematics was very
easy to him. He afterward said of his
standing: IF the class had been
turned the other end foremost, |
should have been very near the head"
When he was ready for his fur
Tough after two years, he had acquired
a soldierly bearing; he was now nine
teen. His father was delighted with
his improvement and provided fine
colt for him. He enjoyed this fur
Tough beyond any other period of his
life. The last two years of his time
at the academy wore away more rap
idly for him than the first two had
done, and at last all the examinations
were passed and all the members Of
the class were called upon to record
their choice of arms Of service and
regiments. Ulysses recorded his first
choice cavalry; second, Fourth infan-
try, and got the latter. He graduated
the twenty-first in a roll of thirty
nine. He had a good record in
mathematics and engineering, fair
record in all things, and remarkable
record as a horseman. After fur
Tough at home, he reported Septem-
Der 80, at Jefferson Barracks, st.
Louis, with the Fourth United States
infantry.

To Index All the Corporations.

1t is the intention of the secretary
of state, after the cleanup has been
made, to index all the dead corpora
lions in one book, the corporations
for profit in another, and the benevo-
lent, charitable and church corpora
lions in a third book. All live cor
porations which have been negligent
in filing their annual statements will
now have to get busy or they will
soon be without any corporations
rights. While the new law does not
require it, the secretary of state pro-
poses, so far as it is in his power to
do so, to give notice to the delinquent
corporations in time for them to COM
ply with the law before the charters
are cancelled.

Clark Arraigns Taft.

At Quincy, ILL.,, Aug. %. Speaker
Champ Clark, before leaving there,
in replying to Taft's speech of Sat
urday at Hamilton. Mass, in which the
president assailed insurgent republic
cans and democrats, declared Senator
LaFollette and the republican insur-
eents were fully able to defend them
selves against TAFT, and that ne, per-
sonally, accepted Taft's onslaught as a
badge of honor. He added that if the
tariff board delayed revising the tariff
downward, the democrats would cut on
it's appropriations.
Speaker Clark declares the presi-
dents attack upon the democrats was
uncalled for and ungrateful, because,
he said, ''if it had not been for the
action of the house democrats in the
Sixty-first and Sixty-second congresses
in lining up unanimously in favor Of
reciprocity he would haze been the
most thoroughly discredited and hu-
inflated president since the days of
Andrew Johnson.
The president says that we didn't
play politics about reciprocity, but that
we did play politics about the tariff.
The only politics we played was tokeep
faith with the people and religiousIy
to redeem the promises we made IN
order to win the elections of 1909 which
is the best and noblest sort of politics.
If any politics was played on recip-
rocity the president himself played it
personal at that.
