Alarmed When
Reader Kick?
Not This Editor

CINCINNATI, June 16.-The
editor of the Yiddish Voice an
lnounces that he has won a great
moral victory, which proves that
true literature is mightier than
the fist. Earring boldly forth to
receive assault and battery at the
hands of an angry reader, Lag
arus Monfried, the editor, got a
subscription for his paper instead.
The yiddish Voice broke forth
in clarion tones concerning the
misconduct of one of it's occasional
but not regular readers last week.
An occasional reader says Mon
fried, Is one who borrows the
paper to read, and a regular is one
who pays for 1t.
Word was brought to him that
the occasional reader whose name
was mentioned In uncomplfmen-
tary manner was coming to take
satisfaction by committing assault
and battery upon the editor, bust
ness manager, circulation manager
and reporter of The Voice, the
same being Monfried.

Sounds fine for Hitchcock's de-

Complying with the regulations
that there must be ice boxes before

established, they petitioned the
government.
The petition was apparently
thrown on the floor and now the
government is asking bids for a

The Wisconsin senator's creed
he quotes as follows: Honest

LaFollette is a radical, says
Blythe, but not in the wild-eyed
sense in which it is applied by the
reactionaries; he is a poseur In
that his keen sense of the dramatic

. RAILWAY NOTES.

An extensive program of improve
ments of the Santa Fe lines near Chit
cago is now nearing completion, it is
announced by the company. With the
finish of work now in progress on the
last stretch of 80 miles between Roth
Vile and Carrolton, Mo-, the road will
have a complete double track line from
Chicago to Kansas City. Both tracks
have been ballasted and the block sys-
tenn is now in operation the entire dis
lance. Ultimately it is proposed to
double track the entire main line to
California.
Carrying in the past three years a
total of 1858 passengers and none
killed as the result of a train accident,
is the record to which the Grand Rap
ids & Indiana, a subsidiary of the
Pennsylvania, points with pardonable
pride.
A bill has been introduced in con-
gress to prohibit express companies
from competing with the postoffice de-
partment in the transportation of pack
ages weighing less than II pounds each.
The Southern Railway company has
organized a cotton culture department
to work in cooperation with the de-
partment of agriculture, and the agri-
cultural authorities of the southern
states, to keep the cotton production of
the south abreast of the demand by
bringing about the adoption of cultural
methods which will result in larger
average yields per acre.

Pennsylvania Railroad equipment are
idle, comparing with 10000 cars idle

Aggressive Assault on Two Cent
Passenger Fares.

Lincoln, Neb, May s.-The legal de-
partment of the state of Nebraska, to-
gether with the state railway commits
sion, is making preparations for what
is expected to be an early and agrees
sive assault by the railroad companies
on the 2-cent-a-mile passenger rate law
now in effect, as we'll as an attempt TO
restore freight rates in existence prior
to the reductions of four years ago.
The success from time to time OF the
carriers in winning suits ordering resto-
rations of old passenger rates in neigh
boring states is said by Nebraska au-
thorities to have encouraged the roads
in the belief that they will have the
same success in Nebraska, once they
get their petitions in court.
Nebraska, however, has been more
successful than her neighboring states
in compelling the carriers to obey the
rate laws during the period of lit1ga-
ton. OF late, however. the impression
has gone out that the transportation
companies, having won preliminary
victories in some of the states. feel
themselves now fortified for an attack
all along the line. The suits in Ne
braSka up to this time have appeared
to lack vigor, but it is now reported
that they will renew their fight here
and also may file similar proceedings
in Iowa. Contrary to predictions made
by railroad men when the Nebraska 2
cent fare law was enacted, however,
the carriers have not lost money in this
state under it.
The legislature of 1907, in addition TO
reducing freight and passenger rates,
passed a bill cutting express rates rs
per cent below the scale then charged.
The express companies succeeded in
preventing enforcement of this law for
over a year, but were ultimately forced
to lower the rates. They will join with
the railroads in what is to be the COM
ing assault on the legality of the re-
auctions.
Kansas watches the Nebraska fight
with great interest as the laws of the
two states are very similar

NEXT TO THE SANTA FE.
New b. & 0. MalIet Engines Approach
Worlds Record.

Ten of the most powerful locomotives
ever built b. the American LOCOMOTIVE
company, and with the exception OF the
MaIiet engines built by the Atch1son,
Topeka & Santa Fe, the largest in the
world. have Just been delivered to the
Baltimore & Ohio railroad, says the
Railway Record.
These locomotives are of the Mallet
type, the first example of which in this
country was built for the Baltimore II
Ohio by the American Locomotive COM
pany in 1904. The new engines, how
ever. are practically 40 per cent heavier
and more powerful than the original
one. which shows the growth and de-
velopnent in power and weight of
locomotives used on American railroads
during the past seven years. The loco
motive alone weighs 461,000 pounds and
with the tender, GAP, 500 pounds. All of
this weight is carried on the driving
wheels, of which there are sixteen, ar
ranged in two Independent groups of
eight each. Their tractive power is
shown by the fact that they are able
to haul 100 fifty-ton capacity loaded
freight cars on a level track. This
would make a train over mile in
length.
