Employees Asked to Protect
Interests of Company.
Gain Influence in Communities

DEFENSE FROM POLITICS
Railways the Target for Latest
Reform Methods.
Other Items of Interest in the
Traffic World.

Railways all over the country are
pumping into their employees the ne
cessity of gaining influence in the COM
munities they live in an attempt to
protect both politically and municipal
ly, the interests of their company. 1t
is argued that in this day of the ma
tional pastime of pecking at the rail-
ways. it has become a proposition of
bread and butter to the employees of
the company.
In a recent number of the Railway
Record, an editorial-an appeal to the
MISUNDERSTANDING the manner in
which the campaign has. been launch
ed. The editorial reads in part:
Railway employees should learn
from such events of how much conses
quence they are in the communities in
which their lots are cast, and the ap-
probation of the fact should arouse in
them a greater determination than they
have ever before manifested to exert
to the full the influence that they pos

and declares that he will support a
third candidate of new party yet to
be organized, which party will not in
clude the word Republican IL its
title.
''Mr. Capper evidently does not want
any votes from those Republicans who
desire to vote for Taft if they have
an opportunity. He is not a party to
an attempt on the part of certain
inSurgent politicians to arrange the
ticket in Kansas so that no Taft man
can vote for Taft at the election, how
ever much he may so desire. The
plan of Mr.. Capper and his associates
is to SO fix the ballot that every Repub-
Hcan must vote either for Roosevelt
or Woodrow Wilson. Roosevelt will not
run as a Republican. and Sc announces.
Bryan carried the state by 1900
majority in 1896. In 1906 Governor
Hoch scratched through with a plu-
rality of about 1000, with no such di-
vision in the ranks of the party as now
exists.
Later on, Governor Stubs, by the
grace. of Democratic help, managed
to be elected.
mo Democrat has yet been found
who has a remote notion of voting for
Capper. His condition of helplessness
presents a sad spectacle. His re-
pudiation of Taft support makes it
clear that in the event of his nominal
ton, the Democratic candidate may
walk to the Capitol through the divis-
ion in the Republican ranks like a
butcher through a slaughter house."

of railway interests, not only in their
individual communities, but throughout
the country at large. Such incidents
should show them that they possess the
power, if only they are wise enough to
exert it for the good of what is the
largest and most important industry IN
the country.
This power they should never fail
to exert whenever they find railway in
terests are threatened. Upon the rail-
ways they are dependent for their sub
sistence. When the railways are al
lowed to prosper they may reasonably
expect a share in that prosperity, but
when railway interests are assailed on
every hand, when they are restricted
and depressed in every conceivable way
and by every conceivable means, rail-
way employees must expect and be pre-
pared to share in the depression 10
which they are subjected. There is no
escaping from these conditions, and
unless railway employees make the
cause of the railway companies their
own, they have no one to blame but
themselves, when the railways are SUD
jected to such conditions as make tneH
prosperity impossible. The incident
cited should be a lesson to every rail-
way employee in the United States ana
should simulate him to put forth MS
utmost exertions on behalf of his own
company particularly, and the railway
cause in general"

INSPECT SOURCE OF FUEL.
Wabash VIII Have Watch at Mines
Other Fuel Plans.

Kansas City. Mo-, July 1S.-A com
prehensive plan of fuel economy has
been adopted by the management OF
the Wabash railroad. Inspectors nave
been placed at different mines from
which the railroad receives its COAL
and fuel supervisors have been ap-
pointed in each of the operating dis
tricts.
There are nine operating districts,
and it will be the duty of the fuel sup
ervisorS to instruct the firemen in the
best methods of firing locomotives
According to officials of the company
the benefit of this plan will not only
be reflected in the cost of operations
but will show to a marked degree IN
the regularity of train schedules.
Smoke abatement also will be given
attention. Scientific investigation Will
be made of the various kinds ana
grades of coal and their use in loco
motives of different classes. expert
ments also will be made with modern
mechanical devices such as stokers
and superheaters.
The operation of each engine VIII
be tabulated and a study OF engine
performance, it is said, will determine
whether it is the grade of coal Grass
of engine or inefficient firing that
causes one engine not to do as wen
as another. Lectures on these SUB
jects are to be given at the various d.
vision Headquarters.

largely to the personal efforts of the
Edna man that the standard of the
hospital was raised and the work
placed on a higher level. In 1910,
Clark sent his resignation to the board
of control. But for year the board
declined to act on the superintendent

there has been the same extravaganza
locally that the people complain
against in state affairs, there ought tc
be an increase in tax levies for county
general funds corresponding to the Be-
per cent increase in the state levy
There is no such increase and that IS
why Governor Stubs has found it nec-
essary to dodge the issue by an at
tempt to figure the people. into belief
that every other public officer is as
extravagant as those connected with
his administration have been.

the fact and 1 present them so that the
people may know that an effort has
been made to deceive them. In 1908
the state tax levy was $40 of a mill
In 1911 it was 1 2-10 mills. In Allen
county, the levy for the county gen
eral fund in 1908 was 1 1900 mills. in
1911 it was 1 43-100 mills. In Anderson
county the 1908 levy was 1 mill, for 1910
it was $40 of a mill. Atchison county

THEY ALL DENY IT
Story of Attempt on Taft's
Life Gets Abroad.
Internal Machine Said to Have
Been Sent to Him.

Washington, July ia circum-
stantial story of an attempt on the life
of President Taft is being denied Wig
orously today by White House officials
and Chief Wilkie of the secret service
1t was said that a bomb, wrapped
in a package, was received late yes
terday at the executive Offices and
placed upon the desk of Sherman
Allen, one of the White House assist
ant secretaries who has just been ap-
pointed assistant secretary of the
treasury. The package was, of course,
intended for the president but pack
ages and letters never reach him with
out first passing through the hands of
a secretary and Mr.. Allen opened it.
The report was that as Mr.. Allen
unwrapped the package he discovered
an Internal machine, said to have been
charged with dynamite and with fuse
sputtering which he quickly extin-
guished with his hands.
Mr.. Allen emphatically denies the
story as do all the other White House
officials. Chief Wilkie of the secret
service. who is charged with guarding
the life of the president, also denies
it. 1t has always been the policy of
the secret service and White House of
ficials to deny publicity to any incl
dent which savors of an attempt at
violence upon the president. The story
as published is pronounced wholly I'M
founded.
Declare It Hoax.
When Secretary Allen reached his desk
at the White House this morning he de-
nounced as absolutely untrue the pub
lished story of his having opened in
fernal machine intended for the president.
THE thing is complete hoax" he said.
There is not a word of truth in it.

tinguishing the fuse -"
Mr.. Allen held out two perfectly undam-
aged members to prove his statement.

burned putting out the fuse.

POLITICAL GOSSIP.

j. A. Wright of Labanon, says in re-
gard to the presidential elector situa-
ton in Kansas: ct would seem to
man up tree, that the Republican
State convention in this state, far ex-
ceeded it's authority when it attempt
ed to select presidential electors for
Roosevelt only, before it was known
who would be the national nominee.
BY what authority, or precedent is
such a thing done? Or whoever before
heard of state convention presuming
to know beforehand who the nominee
would be, and thus assuming the right
which they did not have, to instruct
the electors for a man who failed to
get the nomination.
well, Stubs, White, Allen & Co.,
has certainly got Kansas in a nice
political muddIe. 1t was plain to any
one reasonably well informed, when
the insurgents started out several
years ago, that the final result would
be to put Kansas over in the Demo-
cratic column Death removed two Re-
publican congressman. The Stubs Co.
(incorporated) replaced them with
two Democrats.
sCapper has alienated a lot of his
former support up here, by boiling
the Republican national ticket. This
country hasn't had a safer, saner,
sounder president since the civil war
than it has right now.
