Who is it that can hear the ac-
count of an event, or see the actual
occurrence, and then tell in simple,
truthful language what actually took
place? Or who is it that, having
been given work to do, can go ahead
and do it honestly and thoroughly as
though every move were watched
and done in gladness and smiles?
Whoever can, has the Straight

WELL PAID FOR

Investigation by the corporation
commission OF vouchers paid by the
Rock Island road in l907-0S has re-
yealed some interesting facts In con-
nection with the notorious campaign
of abuse and defamation carried on
by the Oklahoma State Capital, then
a newspaper in Guthrie, against the
state administration in general, the
Oklahoma constitution, the legislature
and the corporation commission.
The investigation, carried on In
connection with the preparation for
the two-cent fare trial which is to be
resumed next week, shows that the
Rock Island paid to Frank H. Greer,
then proprietor OF the Capital, approx
imately $4,000 during those two
years. The expense was charged to
freight operation. The total amount
paid out by this road, as revealed by
this investigation. for newspaper in
fluence, lobbyists in various states,
officials OF the road for other than
regular salary. etc. and charged inn
properly to freight operation is about

c ONE years ago Japan caught the
spirit of advancement and
- leaped " 18th it's mystic dragons
from the sea of antiquity into the
broad expanse of modern civiliza-
tion. And it scared and scared un-
til the other yellow nations were left
in a dim and distant past. Japan
progressed with rapidity that was
startling and the world took its hat
off to Nippon.
Japan is still advancing. It's just
flying through the atmosphere of
modern development And if the
reader has any doubts as to the high
altitude mark reached by this newly
enlightened nation, we call to his
serious attention the fact that the
Japanese Cabinet, headed by Count
Okuma as Premier, has just rendered
its resignation to Emperor Yoshihito.
The fact that the Cabinet resigned is
strictly modern. When Cabinet
member leaves his post he has
reached the zenith of political free
dom. Look at some of our own Cabi-
net members-former Cabinet men,
bers we should say-and see how
true is this statement. There is

wv lege is so small that its stu
dent body could jam itself in
to a University lecture room. A
crowd of Greek letter societies in
good form could out-yell the whole
school and the third scrub football

Its college buildings could all be put

sRz RAILROADS BEING ROBBED

The parcel post went into opera
ton in 1918. Ever since the railroads,
which had long been complaining of
inadequate payment for carrying and
handling railway mail. have been in
sisting that the bulk Of the burden
of the cost of the new parcel service
was being borne by them and not by
the government or the public. They
have objected particularly that the
system of weighing the mails only
every four years was unfair and
should be changed to annual tests.
They have demanded fixed and fair
standard of payment based on what
similar service cost the private ship
per. contending that weight, haul,
speed and frequency of service should
all be considered, as well as every fa-
cility furnished by the railroads, in
Guiding the handling Of mail between
trains and postoffices along the lines
and the movement OF the more than
1900 railway postoffice cars. But
their most emphatic protest has been
against the railway mail rate being
Ia effect regulated by the postoffice
department. which is chiefly interest
led in making a good showing on its
/ balance sheet.
\ Congressional consideration of the
railway mail pay has not been on
buslnesslike basis, 1t has been dis
cussed too often with an eye only for
political effect, the pose of holding
down the railroads being supposed to
be specially effective The postal ad-
ministration has not been free from
the same fault The suggestion is
now made that the railway mail rates
should be left to the inter state COM
merce commission, as disinterested
body technically qualified to pass
judgment The argument that If the
commission is the proper authority to
regulate commercial rates it should
be empowered likewise to regulate
mail rates will strike most persons as
reasonable. The whole question will
be raised early in the next session of
Congress.

members enjoy, to join the Chautau-

All, but this is not the whole
story. There is yet something more
modern about this Japanese Cabinet
resignation. The resignation of
Count Okuma only followed that of
Viscount Oura, and be it remembered
that Viscount Oura stepped from his
perch for the simple reason that the
Japanese Ministry of Justice is just
now investigating a series of bribery
charges resulting from the parlia-
