ANOTHER JOKER, FOUND.

Was there ever an important piece of
legislation passed by any legislature,
and especially an act relating to cor
porations. that succeeded in getting
through the legislative mill and becom-
ing law without '.joker'' having
been carefully and craftily inserted in
1t? 1t does not seem so. And as is
their wont these "jokers" destroy the
purposes and intents of the legislation
by making it ineffective.
The new public utilities law for KAN
sas seems to be in this undesirable shape
l.: one most important particular. This
piece of legislation was the cause Of
more discussion and conference than
any other measure that was considered
by the last legislature. 1t was raked
with fine toothe comb, as it were, for
'.jokers" big and little, and the friends
of the measure were sure that it had
come out of the legislative incubator in
perfect fashion, as far as being free
from Gripping "jokers.'
But such does not appear to be the
case. One important feature of this
law sought to give the utilities board a
reasonable regulation of telephone COM
panies, interurban lines and such other
public service corporations, whose &C
| ttvtties might not be exclusively con-
fined to municipalities. But the word
principally was injected into this pro-
vision in the right place from the
standpoint of these corporations. And
the law reads that the public utilities
board has no regulatory power over
such corporations whose business is
principally within the confines of a
city.
Most of the large telephone systems
in the state, those that have extensive
toll lines in rural districts-and this
latter activity was one that the pro-
motors Of the law wished to reach in a
regulatory way-have their headquar-
tiers in cities, and their business is
principally in such cities. So it is with
several interurban railway lines. And
it looks as If this word principally"
takes them out of the Jurisdiction of
the public utilities commission.
OF course this matter will be thrash
ed out in the courts. But on the face
Of the conditions in respect to this
feature of the law, it appears that the
utility board has been "joked'' out of
regulating certain corporate activities
that it was deemed most advisable for
it to have Jurisdiction over.

A GENIUS OF THE SEA.

Such is Captain Anderson, in COM
mand of the scandinavian Am erican
liner Kentucky. During his recent
voyage from Copenhagen to Philadel-
phia, and while off the hanks of New
foundland the Kentucky suddenly ran
into some unusually cool weather.
Captain Anderson, from his place on
the bridge, shifted at it for a minute
or two, and decided it was due to the
proximity of icebergs.
Now if there is one terror to the
ships that sail the deep it is icebergs.
unexpected. But they are much more
substantial and an ocean liner that
hunks into one is as good as lost
To make matters worse for Captain
Anderson and the Kentucky a heavy
fog was on. It's shades were impen-
etrable to the naked eye or the sea-
mans glass. There was no telling
how far away, how near or in what
direction the icebergs were floating.
But Captain Anderson was equal to
the occasion. Most sea captains are
That's why they're captains. To do
the right thing in a grave emergency
Is as second nature to them.
Anderson bethought of his foghorn
and echoes. And he turned the big
siren loose. Occasionally as 1t bel
lowed out in the darkness an answer
ing echo would come, sometimes faint
and sometimes strong. This told the
captain that the sound from the horn
had rushed against something ahead,
and it could be nothing else than the
wall of an iceberg. In this way he
was able to approximate the position
Of the icebergs ahead of him and
change the course of his ship accord
ingly.
And so with blasts from his horn
and their answering cries he was able
to thread his way among the icebergs.
After hours of careful navigation in
this most unusual fashion, the tenn
peratures rose as suddenly as they had
fallen. One more sniff from the cap
tain on the bridge and he knew that
danger from icebergs had been passed.
Then he sounded full steam ahead and
proceeded on his way to a comfortable
harbor.
There are tricks in all trades, but
the tricks of the commanders on the
sea are of the surprising variety.
Hats off to Captain Anderson.

Lost, j. w. Gates in Dice Game.

John w. Gates has been spending
part of the winter down at Palm
Beach. When he arrived at the larger
of the two hotels there he called for
the head waiter and told him he want
ed the best of his staff to serve him.
To the old negro who filled these quail
if1cations he gave explicit instructions:
''Now, George, I want to be served
we'll. I want you to bring me always
the best of everything. If your work
is satisfactory, I will give you SIS a
week extra"
The waiter entered ON his contract
with enthusiasm, and for several
weeks drew his salary with regularity.
For one luncheon, however, much to
the f1nancier's disgust, a new waiter
turned up. Mr.. Gates demanded an
explanation, without getting any in
telligible response. Finally George
himself was called to his own defense.
He put up the following plea:
"Hyah am de explanashun, sab. You
big folks, you goes down to de club to
