Arkansas City, Kan, March 1S.-
The state board of railroad commits
sioners held a meeting here yesterday
to make an investigation Of complaints
recently filed by several shippers of
this city in regard to the poor freight
service given by the Missouri Pacific
for some time past George Plumb,

Marshall, attorney for the board, and
Walter Grice, board stenographer,

feyville and s. H. Kilgore of Wichita
were present in behalf Of the Missouri

A petition to the board covering
the complaints of the shippers was

Stockholders of the Pennsylvania at
the annual meeting added 100000 to
the annual appropriation for en-
pIoyees' pensions. This, with IN
creases to be made this year by other

Railroads operating eastward from
Chicago and ST. Louis maintained their
volume of tonnage of nearly all COM
modities last week, the most prominent
decrease being in dressed beef. There
was enough gain in all other classifica-
tions to cause an increase in the total
volume of business over the same week
last year. The movement of general
merchandise was one of the leading
features tonnage being considera bly,
heavier than a year ago.
Nothing is so welcome, so winning,
so comforting, as a smile which really
proceeds from good humor, good fell
lowship and cordial friendliness. Let a
politician appear, one vast, substaD-
tial smile and the voters of the people
flow toward him. Even among the
misunderstanding and sdisagreements
of public life, he retains the affection
and good will of the nation. Let a
policeman, who has the difficult task Of
keeping jostling, uncomfortable crowd
in order, beam on it in good nature,
and how amenable and docile its
atoms becomei Let an humble sales
man have the gift of a CHEEKY, friendly
smile, and the longest and most profit
able list of customers is his.''-Gerrit
Fort in his Union Pacific Bulletin.
The Bulletin is intended for the ticket
agent, the baggage agent, the conduc-
tor, and all passenger traffic depart
ment employees, and viii contain notes
on subjects of special concern to them
and suggestions that may prove of in
terest or value in the performance of
their work. Each and every employee
should feel at liberty at any time to
write regarding subjects mentioned
therein or on matters which it is be-
lieved will prove of benefit and assist

the medium for the interchange Of
ideas and xperiences.-Gerrit Fort

HARRY NORTH LEAVES.
Will Organize New Stock Company at
Cleveland, Ohio.

Harry North. brother of Sport
North, manager of the North Bros.
Stock Company, playing at the Ma
jestic here, will leave tonight for
Columbus, o., where he will organize
new stock company The Shuberts
of New York City are responsible for
this move. The North Bros have been
playing many Shubert plays and the
big New York theatrical firm are
anxious for the organization of stock
companies which can handle that class
OF ollIs. They have selected the Norths
from many stock companies to repre-
sent them at Cleveland
The firm owns the Colonial Theater
in Columbus, the largest AMI finest in
the city. In that theater Mr.. North's
stock company will give its plays. The
company will open in a few weeks and
probably be permanent. They will
fill both winter and summer engage
ments, giving plays similar to those
handled by North Bros. here. None
OF the Topeka company will go with
Mr.. North.
This will make three stock COM
panies under the management of
North Bros. Besides the Topeka COM
pany, the North Bros. control a stock
company in Oklahoma City.
Harry North will be remembered
by the hit he made as John Canton"
in the "Great John Canton" at the
Majestic a few weeks ago. He also
played the lead as "Joe Erring' in
Ed Howe's dramatization of his ssStory
of Country Town." played at the Ma
jestic when the state editors conven-
ton was here recently.
Harry North has been in Topeka for
about two months. Previous he was
managing couple of vaudeville acts.
The Norths have been in the theatrical
business ever since they were boys

ing from either Canada or the United
States of any raw product.
1t is obviously to the advantage of
the country at large to have as great
an amount of manufactured product
exported as possible, and to allow just
as little raw product to be exported as
we can.
Another thing that we must not lose
sight of is the fact that we must work
for the greatest good to the greatest
number The statistics show that
something more than II per cent of
the population is represented in agri-
culture. Anything which tends to de-
crease the cost of living will benefit
the other SO per cent of the population
and from a broad point of view this
country cannot afford to protect IL
pense of the other SO per cent
Whether the farmer would actually
suffer in the end is a great question,
because he would undoubtedly reap
benefits in many ways, such as on lum-
Der and other products which should
be obtained cheaper.
The milling industry Of this coun-
try is one of the largest in the coun-
try as regards investm ent of capital,
furthermore it is an industry which is
scattered over the whole country, not
concentrated in any one portion and
any thing which tends to put this in
dustry on sound and profitable basis
and enables it to compete in the mar
kets of the world with it's manufac-
tured product and which furnishes
emp1oymen thereby for a large adj
ditionaI number of employee is bound
to work as a benefit to the whole
country.

CONFER ON MILITARY RATES.
Government Anxious to Make Agree
ment With Railroads.

Chicago, ILL.,, March 1S.-The quar-
termaster general of the United States
army has notified the railroads that
their substitute form of contract
agreement for transportation of gov
eminent troops, for the employees
and freight is not acceptable. and in
effect puts before them again the form
of agreement which proved objec-
tionable to the railroads, and in place
of which they drew up the form now
rejected. AT special meeting of the
Transcontinental Passenger associa-
ton to discuss the communication of
the quartermaster general and to con-
slider what action is to be taken by
the roads regarding military fares, a
special committee was appointed
which will go to Washington as soon
as possible to confer with the army
authorities. On this committee are
passenger officials of the Santa Fe and
the Southern Pacific and the secre-
tary of the association.

The complaint of w. A. Merchant.
an Oklahoma City insurance man,
against the Rock Island and Frisco

thence west three-ouarters of a mile,
terminating at the college serum

However, all men who are selected for
public duty are not men of independent
means, and to avoid building up an
aristocracy of wealth the government
has wisely provided for a reasonable
compensation to lawmakers for their
time and expenses when in the public
service.
II the public business were transact
ed with reasonable expedition and the
sessions Of the general assembly con-
fined to proper limits. the amount OF
pay assigned to the members under
the present law would be SUFFICIENT TO
remunerate the members for their time
and work. Their real services are due
to the state. There is a mass Of pro-
posed legislation placed before the gen
eral assembly at the opening OF every
session. There is only a small part Of
it that is worthy Of consideration. Yet
II requires time TO do it. Since every
man Is worthy of his hire, the man
who makes the law is entitled to COM
pensation in keeping with the demands
of his Office just as the man who inter
prets or enforces the law.
