Ben Talbot Benefit Tonight

The many friends of unfortunate
Ben Talbot are bestirring them
selves in his behalf.
The report comes from Atlanta
that an operation will relieve him
and restore him to good health and
strength.
The unusual expense to which the
family has already been put has
embarrassed them and there was
some doubt as to their ability to
stand the expense of the necessary
operation and medical attention,
but his friends here have rallied to
his assistance and have written his
mother that they will raise the
money.
With that purposk in view they
have arranged with the manage
ment of the Lyric Theater for the
proceeds of a nights entertainment,
and tonight every dollar above
actual expenses will be Immediately
forwarded to Mrs. Talbot in Atlanta
to assist her in securing the proper
medical treatment of her unfortU-
nate son.

us, and, We shall stop our extensions,
withdraw our builders, cut down our
equipment orders, lessen the number
of our employees. You, not we, wfil
pay for it. Now go ahead and do
your worst!"
In one form or another the country
has heard that challenge a hundred
times in the last few years.
Judge Lovett and Mr.. Otto Kahn
one a Hartman lawyer and officer,
the other a Hartman banker-have
expressed the new principle. The
good faith of the two speakers cannot
be judged by promises, and it re-
mains to be seen how far acts will
fit principles. Yet the very announce
ment of the principles is so startling
ly new and so full of rich promise
that it must be hailed with entnusi-
asm.
A dozen other railroad heads, in
public speeches, in magazine articles,
in interviews, give tongue to the same
conviction. If man have patience
to read these new outpourings of the
railroad heart, he will find in them
all a fervid desire for publicity-not
the old sterilized brand, but real out
right publicity He will note also
more or less yelled admissions of
railroad fault in the past. Above all,
he will note that, in the minds of the
railroad men, the railroad has again
become public servant, public
utility.
1t remains only to put into eff
feet this new spirit of cooperation.
Let the railroads of the west sweep
away the tangled webs that they have
woven, for their own ends, about the
state capitols. Let railroad lobbyists
become extinct around the halls of
Washington. Let few of the big
systems look to it and see whether
or not the men who run them are
men who care little about the pub
lie and it's rights and powers. There
is a school of railroad officers that
must be swept from the house before
it can be considered garnished for
the dawning day. The railroad
whose head is a reactionary will de-
serve all that it gets from the new
democracy of commerce.

SECRETS OF sPRINGTIEE
JOY

Il is about this season Of the year,
or a little later. that man walks
savagely into his home. upsets the
chairs in his way and brutally hicks
the cat through the kitchen door. He
ignores his wife when she speaks kind
ly to him, growls like a bull dog at
the children and gives his mother-in-
law malignant look.
Send for some rhubarb." says the
mother-in-law, speaking softly.
The next morning the family has
rhubarb sauce for breakfast, rhubarh
pie at the MONDAY meal and rhubarh
sauce again at night A few days lat.
er the same man may be seen with
his arm clasped lovingly about his
wife while the children play at his
knee. Every now and then he will
lean over and affectionately kiss his
motherin-law.
Rhubarb comes along in the spring
of the year like gently-spoken bene
diction. By rights it should precede
the mustard greens and the hog jowl
When we have plenty of rhubarb we
may safely dispense with sassafras
tea. Rhubarb even takes the place OF
uslnhur and moIaScae
The latter mixture is for children
when they are very young and entirely
helpless. Grown persons in possession
of all their mental faculties and the
free use of their limbs do not take it
Not if they. see it first. They cannot
be induced to take it, yet they pre-
scribe liberal doses for the little ones
Being busy at something else nearly
all the time, the humane officers dc
not always interfere.
The head of the family should take
sulphur and molasses in the sprine
no doubt, yet who is going to handcun
and gag him to administer the rem
edy? 1t must be admitted that there
is nothing alluring in the taste of sui
phur and molasses when they are
mixed together. 1t is much better tc
feed him rhubarb, which he takes with
a grateful smile, the results being pre-
cisely the same.
Rhubarb is the natural enemy of the
divorce lawyer, and if taken freely il
the spring of the year, assist in givinf
the overworked family physician 8
much-needed rest. 1t is poison to hi:
practice, but that is ALL Without rhu
barb we are handicapped and unable
to appreciate all the beauties of glori
GUS springtime. Until we have hat
our share of it and the sluggish live
has been awakened from it's winter lie
thargy wer are inclined to worry whe,
we should warble.

THE NEW RAILROAD ERA

There is a rainbow in the railroad
sky, promising peace and fair
weather, says the well known writer
on railroad topics, C. M. Keys, in the
March Worlds Work. 1t is nothing
more nor less than frank and open
,avowal on the part of the heads of
many systems that the cardinal error
which underlays the period of public
hostility toward railroads was COM
mitted by the railroads, and a fair
promise that it will never happen
again.
A statement recently promulgated
by Judge Lovett, head of the Harri-
man lines, caps the general confession
OF many other heads of systems. The
very promulgation of such a belief
marks the new era. Always the rail
road has met public opposition with
defiance. The usual reply has been
challenge something like this:
Oppose us. attack us, or criticize

COLORADO TELEPHONE
ONE MORE COMPLAINANT

The stage Jew, the Irishman and
the Dutchman brought forth COM
plants from their prototypes in real
life, on the ground that they were
not faithfully portrayed, and now
comes the Indian with a just revolt
against the way he is shown in the
moving pictures.
AS matter OF fact, the Indians in
the moving pictures are rundown ac-
tors, all of them white men in the
guise of the noble red. The film prob
ably was made in New Jersey, or
some place twenty-five minutes from
Broadway" and the bad Indians"
were in hurry to get back to their
haunts among the beer saloons and
cheap lodging houses.
1t is no wonder self-respecting In
dians are protesting against this mis-
representation of their race in the
moving pictures. They should not
stand for such caricatures. The In
dians have sense of humor highly
developed, but it does not run in that
direction. The complaint, too, is
based on the fact that in the NOV
ing pictures the Indians are portrayed
as being wild and woolly," dressed
only in feathers and paint, engaged
always in the pleasing pastime OF
numbering and scalping their vic
tins.
The time has come when the In.
dian, especially the New Mexico In
dian, should have some recognition
of his moral and civil rights, even
though his material rights are ground
into the dust. The Indians in New
Mexico are well to do. Many of them
are counted as the best business men
of the territory. They are not allow
ed the privilege of handling their
own property, under the laws of the
government, but they should not
have to undergo the humiliation of
being caricatured in the moving
pictures.
Should the moving picture makers
photograph the New Mexico Indian
as he really is. perhaps it would not
interest the audiences looking for
thrills. For the most part it would
be pictures of men and women in
the usual walks Of life. Some of them
would be found raising sheep, some
engaged in the cattle business and
many others at work on their farms.
These people have a right to pro-
test against being shown on a screen
as warriors with faces smeared with
paint, chicken feathers stuck in their
hair and bows. and arrows held in
their hands. The Indians of today
are not engaged in scalping anybody.
The protest should be made douDly
strong on account of the fact that
the Indians in the moving pictures are
being represented by cheap actors in
New York, who know less about the
red man than any class of people on
earth.

USING QUOTATION MARKS

When Webster's dictionary and our
grammars were compiled it was not
a dream of the compilers that quo
tation marks would ever be used as
a means of distinguishing persons
standing in society, but we have
reached that point.
In Philadelphia young man OF
aristocratic and distinguished lineage
had a boxing match with a profession
al prize fighter 1t is very fashion
able now for aristocratic young men
to engage in such pastime, just to
show that they have muscle, even
though they have no brains of which
we may confidently speak
The young mans name is Tony"
Biddle, and he boxed with plain
Packey Mcfarland. The gentle
reader will note the difference in the
quotation marks. Had not TONY"
been an aristocrat his name would
not have been enclosed in quotation
marks. 1t will be noticed that all
the newspapers speak of Packey Nc
Farland without the use of the dis
tinguishing marks. Packey has no
claims of distinction by reason OF
aristocratic lineage.
Our nonpareil opinion of quotation
marks is that they are wholly insuf-
ficient to distinguish the aristocrat
from the plebeian in this land of the
free. The Bible uses no quotation
marks at all. Certain modern news
papers on both sides of the Atlantic
insist on placing quotation marks be-
fore every line when a long quota
tion is being given. And these news
papers, it is frankly admitted, will
go out of existence when the score
or so of subscribers who have been
taking them for half a century go to
a place where they will not need
newspapers any more.
One of our foremost magazines
made the experiment of adopting the
French quotation mark It's editor
felt that something was wrong, and
concluded that it must be the quota
tions. But the experiment had to be
abandoned, and now the magazine is
back in the old rut, using the ordinary
kind of quotations. The editors have
never discovered quite what was and
is the matter.
In language, quotations are used to
prevent confusion; but is this not a
profession on the part of the writer
that he cannot set down plain,
unvarnished skill tastefully?
Socially, quotations are used to in
sure the preservation of social dis
tinction. TONY" Biddle of Philadel
phia's four hundred must be quoted.
But Packey Mcfarland of nowhere
in particular can get along without
the printers frills.
The distinction has been made
plain and there is but one thing more
to be added. Packey Mcfarland
knocked "Tony" Biddle out in the
boxing match by giving "iony' his
first introduction to the common or
garden variety of upper cut as it is
used by the plebeian but muscular
pugs.
