THE,VAlUE OF COURTESY

The Illinois Central Railroad is
distributing both TO the public and
among its employees, pamphlet en-
titled "The Value of Courtesy"
The argument made in the pamph-
let is a purely commercial one, and
for that. reason is worthy of unusu-
al attention. Most of us think OF
courtesy as an asset simply of charac-
ter, that it is valuable from a spirit
ual point of view. Some of us might
go far enough to say that its chief
reward is in the hereafter. 1t is one
of the sine qua mons THAT without
which nots) of happiness hereafter
II is interesting and instructive,
therefore, to know that a great rail-
road corporation finds that 1t must
insist that its employees be courteous,
not at all for the sake OF their
spiritual or moral culture, but for
the reason that it increases the divi-
dends of the road.
And, If so in railroading, why not
in every other business, in every vo-
cation and avocation? And 1t does
pay, of course, everywhere and all
the time. Failure in business is not
always due solely to bad management.
1t is sometimes due also to want of
courtesy on the part of the man him
self or his employees. Many. many
times we have known people to cease
trading at one store and go to an
other simply for the reason that they
got more courteous treatment-not
always better bargains-at the latter
place.

q valuable one. Hanks was as happy

blood, a fine financial prospect and a
letter from his sweetheart In his
pocket
One day at noon. just after reading
his sweetheart's letter. which some one
had brought up the hard mountain
trail to the lonely cabin. Hanks picked
up a box OF dynamite caps which had
lain In the sun. The slight jar did the
rest
BY a miracle he escaped instant
death.
He was thrown ten feet away and
when he arose both eyes were gone
and where his hands had been were
bleeding stumps. His partner, looking
upon him, screamed and cried like a
child. Recovering himself, he got
Hanks to the cabin, where he bound
his arms tightly above the elbow to
stop the bleeding.
1t was six miles to a telephone.
All that afternoon Hanks lay alone.

When help came they got him to

remnant Of him. His sweetheart came
to see him, and he released her from
their engagement. What woman would

PROGRESSIVE PARTY PLATFORM
PRE-C0nvEMIl0M OUTLINED
A Reform Program Of IS planks.


Following the call for the progress
i've convention at Chicago on the 9Th
OF August, the progressives here and
throughout the country have redoub-
led their activities.
That the people throughout the
country may know more definitely
what the new party proposes, II may
be stated that the platform will DO
something new and thoroughly Roose-
veltian. There arc about fifteen basal
planks, and II Is claimed that in COM
rarison neither the Republican nor
the Democratic platform will seem
to stand for anything. II Is believed
that the country Is with the progress
ives. and The new party proposes to
be not only the leader of the pro-
gressives but the progressive party.
IL will therefore, 1t is said declare:
First, For primaries for all nomi-
nations.
Second, The short ballot and the
commission form OF government for
cities.
Third. Initiative. referendum and
recall except of judges.
Fourth, A demand for a federal
corrupt practices act. mcdeled after
the British.
Fifth. A model Parcels Post system.
Sixth, Banking reform. providing
for agricultural credits.
Seventh, Workmen's compensation,
modelled after the German system.
Eighth. A solution Of the high cost
of living.
Ninth. Equal Suffrage.
Tenth, Income and Inheritance
taxes.
Eleventh, Tariff adjustment, hold
Ing on to protective principles but
guarding against extortion.
Twelfth, Trust regulation.
Thirteenth. Conservation of natural
RESOURCES.
Fourteenth. Improvement OF coun-
try life.
Fifteenth, Adequate control OF Pan
ANA Canal.
The whole platform. 1t is declared,
will be a reform program. tho pur-
pose being to GUST tho bosses from
political control and substitute popu-
lar rule.
II 10 thought that this program will
appeal to the people. and It is ex-
pected that not only will a national
ticket be put forth. but the leaders
In the movement will urge that state
and local tickets throughout the coun-
try be run in keeping with the pro-
gressive program in order 10 give
the national administration backing
II the national progressive ticket
should be successful.

HARDLY 4 SQUARE DEAL

l.. 3. McHargue, former postmaster
at London, interviewed at Louisville
a few days ago, stated that he was
not given a chance to defend HIM
self. However reprehensible the
article in The Echo which caused the
dismissal of MIR. McTIargue. the dis
missal would seem to be just as rep
rehensible unless IL was made af-
ter careful investigation, the accused
being given a hearing.
The Citizen is not at all in sympa-
thy with the loose way that some
papers have, and some individuals
have, of speaking of public officials,
and especially the President, but 1t
Is no more in sympathy with high
handed arbitrary and bureaucratic
governmental or departmental meth
DDS.
The excuse that Mr.. McHargue
makes that his name was simply al
lowed to remain at the head of the
editorial columns of The Echo for
fear that its removal would affect
the circulation seems to us to be very
flimsy, and more questionable than
flimsy. But, on the other hand, the
removal OF an officer, about whose
faithfulness in the discharge of his
official duties there is no question,
with no opportunity given to at
tempt to establish his innocence, Is
lot only positively vicious and con-
trary to the principles upon which
our government was established, but
very bad politics, as Senator Bradley
and Mr.. Taft will no doubt soon dis
cover.

POLITICAL DEATH AWAITS THEM
Those Who Voted for the Blonde
Boss Took Their Political Fortunes
In Their Hands.
Washington, o. G. July 23rd.

Twenty eight to IS was the vote
on the Lorimer case, and the rs Sen
ators who voted in favor OF the ILL
nois Boss retaining his seat will
have to pay for their votes In near
ly every case by their retirement to
private life. Some few have already
announced their intention not to
become candidate again, and others
have bitter fight on their hands,
their vote for Lorimer weighing
heavily against them, and practically
insuring their defeat.
Bailey OF Texas will retire next
March. Bradley has until 1915, and
his political sins are of such char
acter as to insure his defeat even II
there was a Republican majority an
the Legislature. Crane of Massachu-
sets has announced his retirement
and Foster Of Louisiana has already
been beaten at the primaries, as al
so. has Gamble of South Dakota. The
name of Guggenheim OF Colorado has
become so associated with all that
bad politics means that he will not
run again. And thus the list runs
Brandegee, Burnam, Catron. Clark Of
Wyoming, Fletcher, Gallinger, Lip
petit. McCumber, Painter, Penross.
Perkins, Richardson and Smith are
also on the progressive voters black
list.
There Is a better day ahead In
national politics on the defeat or
retirement of these men provided
their successors are of a better stripe.
There used to be both glory and
honor connected with seat in the
National House or Senate, but these
be hard times for our high politi-
clans. Many of these men will posi-
bly, withdraw with no great regrets.
At least they will be glad to be free
from the strife.
The life of Senator or Congress-
man is anything but one of ease
and pleasure, and II one would like
to know something of its inwardness
something of the struggles and the
turmoils, the pulling and the hauling.
the pickering and the log rolling; If
one would like to see the inside Of
politics as 1t is at Washington, the
game as 1t is really played. he can
get pretty good view of 1t from
reading the autobiography OF SEN
ator LaFollette that is appearing in

CALLS A HALT
Notwithstanding the opinion given
cut by the Attorney General, State
Supt. Hamlet says that the COM
mon drinking cup shall not be used
in the schools. holding that 1t was
plainly the intent OF the law to pro-
hibit its use by the school children.

McCREARY COUNTY BEFORE
THE COURTS
A resident of the new county Of
McCreary, by the name of Bell, has
filed suit In the Wayne Circuit Court
to test the constitutionality OF the
act establishing the county. 1t is alleg-
ed that the population does not come
up to the constitutional requirements,
that the area Is less than four hun
dred square miles and that the boun-
dairy line OF the county is within ten
miles OF another county seat In one
place. And 1t is claimed that either
one OF these three contentious, IL
established, will invalidate the act.
ATTORNEY GENERAL RECALLS
LEGISLATION
Attorney General Garrett in an
opinion to the County Board OF Edu-
cation, Barren County. declares that
the new law prohibiting the use OF
public drinking cups does not apply
TO public schools. The ground for his
decision is that the schools are fire.
quented by the same people every
day.
This is a serious blow to the law,
inasmuch as the most forcible argu-
ment leading TO the law, was
the desirability of abolishing the
common drinking cup In the public
schools.
The Attorney Generals decision
does not end the matter. however.
for the courts will likely be called
upon to pass upon II.
