Party Of Santa Fe Railroad Men Came
Here Yesterday From Fort Madi-
son and inspected the
Dam.
VISIT ONE OF PLEASURE
Santa Fe Men, on Business Trip 10
Fort Madison, Conclude Their
Long Trip With keo-
kuk vislt.

The executive forces Of the vari.
GUS departments Of the Santa Fe
railway were well represented in
this city yesterday, the party Of off.
cials whose coming has been antici-
pated for the past few days having
arrived in Fort Madison Wednesday
evening. The body of railroad digni-
taries included w. C. Kouns, general
manager; R. ]. Parker, general sup
erintendent; John Purcell, assistant
to the vice president In charge of the
mechanical department; j. H. McGoff,
mechanical superintendent: F. w.
Felt, chief engineer of the Santa Fe
system; G. J. Bell, division engineer;
Fred Mnnter, general freight agent;
Henry Lautz, assistant to the gener-
81 manager; F. S. Brooks, general
live stock agent; Harry Hobson
superintendent OF the signal depart
ment; T. H. Sears, superintendent OF
the Missouri division, and @. e. Ayre,
superintendent OF the Illinois divis-
Ion. The party fully represented
the various divisions Of the trans
portation. mechanical and engineer
ing departments.
The officials boarded Burlington
train at Fort Madison yesterday
morning for this city, where they
were the guests OF Chief Engineer
Cooper in a sightseeing trip over the
building operations of the big dam.
The party returned to Fort Madison
on an afternoon train and upon their
arrival there planned to leave in al
special train for an inspection trip
over the Missouri division.
It was the general supposition OF
railroad men that the visit OF the
Santa Fe heads was relative to the
elevation Of the Fort Madison shops
and yards, which will become neces-
sary when the big dam Is completed,
and this supposition was strengthen
ed by the presence OF F. w. Felt,
chief engineer. and G. j. Bell, division
engineer. as members Of the party.
The report was denied by Mr.. Purcell
In this manner.

is not attended with any great
amount Of Significance, the trip be-
Ing made solely for pleasure and
through curiosity. To be terse, we.
wished to view the great engineering

the 1908 campaign. His death occur
red last year. At the time Of his re-
tirement, understand he destroyed
the records"
Cortelyou said he had heard nothing
OF the fund raised by the railroad
magnates to save New York to the
republicans in 1904, until after the
close Of that campaign. He was not
aware that several big insurance
companies had contributed $4,000
each to the campaign fund of 1904 I'M
til that fact was developed In the In
vestigation of insurance companies
by committee from the New York
state assembly.

MIR. HUrrAKER QUESTIONS
MIR, fuckers CLAIMS

Editor Telegram: In the issue OF
the Evening Telegram OF February
rs, there appears an article by Mr..
II. T.. I.ufsey, claiming great credit
for MIR. Eppes Tucker. Ir.. for de-
Tending a suit in tho interest OF th~
educational interests Of the State.
This is news of great Importance, II
true, but before joining Mr.. Tuck
cr's admirer In his laudatiOns, let
us see just what credit Mr.. Tucker
Is entitled to.
The suit in question was brOugh;
by Mr.. Brown. of Lakeland, purely
to test the legality Of the bond issue
CT Lakeland for school purposes, the
constitutionality of said issue having
been brought in question. The suit
was friendly one. and the real work
was done by Mr.. II. X. Oliphant,
the regular attorney for the Polk
County Board Of Public Instruction.
And | am reliably informed that
what work was done on the other
side of the suit was done by Mr..
Eppes Tucker, Sr. As for Mr.. Eppes
Tucker, Jr, volunteering to defend
the suit, was he not at that time the
city attorney for Lakeland? And
was it not his duty to defend the
suit?
Mr.. Lufsey says: THE case result
ed in bringing about an act of the
Legislature submitting constitu-
t;onal amendment to be voted upon
this year proving that municipal
ties may issue bonds for school pur-
poses" This is indeed news, II true
No such amendment was adopted,
and no such amendment will be SUBJ
mitted to the voters at the coming
election. An amendment to the Con-
stitution allowing special tax school
districts to issue bonds for school
purposes will be voted upon. (See
House Joint Resolution No. 76. page

there is no earthly connection be-
tween the suit of Brown VS.. Lake.
land and the submission of this pro-
posed amendment. The real friends
O. education have been urging this
change in the Constitution for years.
II Mr.. Lufsey can show where Mr..
Tucker has ever rendered any real
service to the cause of education, l
will certainly join in giving the
gentleman credit.

The economic loss to the world OF
over a million workers. who are now
or q strike in the British islands,
Is a calamity appalling to contem-
plate. Worse still is the suffering
that must inevitably come from the
idleness of these people very few of
whom have anything laid by for the
rainy day. 1t does seem that there
ought to be some middle ground be-
tween the exactiOns of labor, which
are not always reasonable. and the
oppression of capital. which is most
frequently at fault. The English
government, We note, is about to
take the matter in hand by passing
laws that will define the minimum
wage to be paid workers in certain
OF cupations. We trust some speedy
and equitable adjustment of this
great trouble will be arrived at.

Correct spelling seems to be almost
a lost art High school students can
talk learnedly upon physics, botany
and civics. but they fall short on
spelling. Almost every business man
knows that it is exceedingly difficult
10 get clerks who spell even the COM
monest words correctly. Prof. Beall,
of the Kansas State Agricultural COL
lege, has been making some investi-
cations. and he found that 80 out
of the 112 high school students who
were tested in their spelling failed
10 spell william" correctly, and that
Al scholars from the eighth grade
to the sophomore year in college
made an average grade Of only 80 ir
spelling simple words taken from the
fifth reader used in the Kansas pub
tic schools, and that even the teach
e-s made bat -. There is no reason
TO believe that conditions are better
in the high schools Of other States.
That being so it might be we'll to

The perennial discussion of the
nuisance of Growing ROSTERS at
night is going on over at Petersburg
Our conclusion, based on personal
experience. is that people with good
tonsciences are seldom annoyed by
ROSTERS at night. Occasionally they
may wake up the ROSTERS by
sound resembling that OF saving
sourds, and then the ROSTERS crow
in retaliation.
