A NEW LAW PREVENTS
r. r.. SURPRISE TESTS.

The efforts of the railway lines
OF Kansas to promote safety by con-
Quoting surprise tests" on their en-
ployees in the operation Of trains
have been blocked by a bill passed
by the last legislature and the state
is able to offer no relief. As re-
suit the last legislature has been
/ nailed to the mast and dashed by
railway arrangements and publica-
lions over the country-buf the new
law still stands on the statEte books.
The law provides that any per-
SON who shall manipulate. or tamper
with any switch stand, target, switch
light or light controlling the move
ments of trains, for the purpose of
misleading or deceiving engineers,
firemen or train crews, shall be
deemed guilty of a misdemeanor
and fined not less than $500 and
not more than $1,000. If any act
in disobedience of this law results
in the death or great bodily injury
shall be deemed misdeameanor5
punishable by imprisonment at hard
labor.
When the bill was introduced mi
the senate early in the 1913 session
it WIS passed without opposition. |
1t was hastily considered as pre-
ventive of holdups, malicious wrecks
and acts eof vandalism The railway
men in the Hobbies did not detect in
the bin an act that would absolutely
prevent their "spotting''e methods i
and their plans of testing the eff
cheney and consistency OF engineers
and trainmen.
It has been discovered now that +,
he act prevents the surprise
ests'' that railways used along their
ines in the state.

ASKS DISPENSATION
COUNTY ATTORNEY WANTS sUs-
PENSION OF SAND LAW
FOR TRANSFERS.
Individuals Can't Haul Sand Under
Provisions Of New Law Re
n quiring Royalty to the
N State.

Because nearly fifty Dickinson
county laborers have been denied
lucrative source of income by tn
much-discussed "saPd' law passe'
by the last legislature, requiring
ten per cent royalty to be paid int,
the state treasury on all sand ex
tracted from navigable streams, OF
streams under state control, County
Attorney Arthur Hurd has appealed
to the executive council of the state
asking that the law be suspended in
favor of individual teamsters, who
resort to sand-hauling when other
work fails.
The law requires any person ex-
tracing sand to furnish bond, sub
1ect to forfeiture If the state can
discover that incorrect royalty re-
turns are being made. Transfers
have trouble in getting these bonds
because of difficulty in obtaining
security, and the expense is out Of
proportion to the returns they are
able to get.
Hurd estimates that there are
forty or fifty teamsters in the coun-
ty who haul sand when they can
find no other work. They are able
to make a good days wages, and
keep busy all the time. Under the
new law, however, If they haul any
sand from the river without having
first secured a bond they have COM
mitted misdemeanor, and are sub
ject to the penalties prescribed by
the law.
Companies can afford to go to the
expense of securing bond, and have.
no difficulty about security. Off
cial maps make the Smoky Hill river
a navigable stream as far west as
the west line of Dickinson county,
and 1t is consequently subject to
the provisions of the law.
The law has been the subject Of
much discussion by jurists and news
papers, and a Wichita company is
now engaged in suit to determine
or not II is CONSTITUTIONAL.
The county attorney sent his petit
ton to the executive council today,
and expects an answer in short
lime.

OORR0BORATION.
OF Interes4 TO Abilene ReaHers.

For months Abilene citizens have
seen in these columns enthusiastic
praise of Doan's Kidney Pills by
Abilene residents. Would these
prominent people recommend a rem
edy that had not proven reliable ?
Would they confirm their state

personal experience had not shown
the remedy to be worthy of endorse
ment? The following statement
should carry conviction to the mind
of every Abilene reader.

LONDON, Oct. 1s.-Edward Monroe,
a grand old salt of the American navy,
has just celebrated his one hundred
and fourth birthday at his home in
Holloway, north London. He is still
in full possession Of all his facul-
ties. His recollection Of his adventures
in the old pirating days would form
a volume of thrilling interest today.
He was born in Nova Scotia and emf
grated to America when he was be-
tween and years old. He was for
some years quartermaster in the Unit
ed States navy. Speaking Of pirate
hunting, he said.
"There were swarms of pirates in
the gulf of Mexico in those days. /
can well remember q desperate chase
and ultimate capture of a bloodthirsty
pirate named Velasquez who was known
as 'the Black Demon the name Of
his vessel He had been seizing our
vessels and, after confscating the val
uables on board, burning them. The
navy had been hunting him for long
time.
"It was either in 1929 or 1880 that
we at last encountered him in the open
sea. We knew the ship at once by the
black flag with skull and crossbones
perate fight we captured 300 pirates,
who were taken ashore, tried and
hanged. "
Monroe's last long voyage was on
merchantmen to Mauritius TWEEN.
ty years ago. For five years after that
he made cruises around the English
coast and on quitting the sea settled
in London. He has remained bache-
lor all his life.

all countries on this hemisphere,

in proximity to us.
1T is of the utmost Importance
that whatever is done in Mexico
should have a good influence on all
these other countries on this hemis-
phere in discouraging revolution and
disorder and encouraging govern
ments of law and order. In other
words, we should not by recognizing a
government in Mexico founded on re i
olution and violence, put a premium
on like methods of violence and u.s.
urpation of power.
The sending of warships by other
governments is a recognized policy in
cases of great disorder, where the
subjects or citizens of country have
great interests needing protection i
would not dispute the right under or,
binary conditions, to land marines
wherever necessary for the protec-
ton OF personal property but l think
it would be inadvisable under the
present circumstances for them to
land marines in Mexico, because that
might lead to unfortunate complica-
ton.
Il have no authority to speak for
anyone but myself, but | think if the
subjects or citizens of any nation need
protection in Mexico, on account OF
which, under ordinary circumstances
marines would be landed, it would b.
far getter to call on the United States
for whatever protection is required
so that whatever may be absolute
necessary may be attended to b.
American marines.
Il say this because every one must
recognize that in the present delicate
situation it is extremely important t
avoid anything that would tend TO
produce the slightest conflict or frio
ton between the United States an
any one of these foreign govern
ments."
Inasmuch as Senator Bacon know
the Washington administration view
point intimately, it is not unlikeij
that some of these ideas will be in
cluded in President Wilson's forthcom
ing note to the powers against forelgr
interference in Mexico.

Philadelphia, Pa, Oct. 27.-Presi-
dent Wilson had no comment to make
on the Mexican situation during his
stay here, where he came to deliver
an address at the re-dedication of Con.
gress hall. On the special "a ain that
brought a delegation from both houses
including Speaker Clark, Minority

the situation brought about by the at

with reference, especially to the send.
ing of warships recently and the pos

Senator Bacon's view is that if any
marines have to be landed in Mexico.
they should be american marines. He
made the following statement:

in Mexico and Mexican affairs are
infinitely greater than the interests

ton of material interests wherever
their subjects or citizens in Mexicl
have investments or industrial enter
prises, and they naturally desire to
sse them protected.
With them it is not vital matter
who extends that protection. In
other words, they are so far removed
from the influence of the particular
kind of government which may have
authority in Mexico that that feature
is not matter of great vital con-
Germ to them. All they wish is pro-
lection for their property, subjects
and citizens.
With us it is a vastly greater and
more important interest. Our cit-
zens have. III the 6rst place, more
in the way of material interests than
all Of the other foreigners put to-
gether. In addition, we have great
interests which a neighbor nation
must have in the peace and good

which concern the Mexican situation

have been provided for the show.
Endorsed BY Merchants.
The splendid Endorsement given the
work by the merchants OF Augusta
has created nation wide comment, and
virtually all the national agricultural
journals of prominence with circula-
ton in the cotton belt have given no
tice to the enterprise, and they have
co-operated to make it a success, gil
ing Augusta and the adjacent terri
tory much publicity of the most COM
mendable kind.
The greatest yields will be repre-
scented by displays, and the county
clubs, together with individual exhib-
its, will be sure to attract notable at
tention. The outlook for attendance is
bright and the advancement that will
result from this marked interest in
progressive farming is sure to be
of lasting benefit to the whole terri
tory, and certainly to the merchants
of Augusta and the farmers who fol-
low this course of farming.
