Police Court News.

As a result of the city police drag-net
thirty-five people were landed In the
Ellis county jail, this week
Clarence Doyle and Cation Langford,
both strangers, were landed IN jail this
week, for breaking into the Wolf hard
ware store and taking twenty-five re-
volvers. Their preliminary trial VIII
be held August 4th.
At Walker, last Sunday, four men
were arrested by Under-sherif Wat
l1ins, for being drunk and disorderly.
They were fined in police court Three
of them paid their fine and the other
one, being short of cash, was sent to
jail.
Another harvest hand at Ellis was
fined and imprisoned for receiving and

The Uttlitx Raard Meeting.

The Hays City Telephone Company
had its hearing before the State Utili
ties Commission last Tuesday morning
The company had requested in regular
order the commission to increase the
phone rates. Never had the public
realized before what this commission
really meant. 1t is long step in the
right direction. It caused the private
corporation, 1.-The party of the first
part, !" to show its business workings to
the public, 1.-The party of the second
part" In the old order the rule was
''let the public go hang" 1t was none
of the public's business what was
made.
s'And the books were opened" and
the public learned that the Hays City
Telephone Company had placed actual
cash to the amount of about SIG, 900 in
the enterprise, and that the earning of
the company had been put back into
the business, and the total exchange
value of the company now is SIS, 40
making an increase in the last thirteen
years of $40, 410, all above the running
expenses. But the company felt that
it had been doing business at a very
small profit so asked the Utilities Com
mission for the privilege of increasing
the rates. No decision will be render
ed until September.
Now, we feel that if this company is
not making money because of an
ancient contract made with the city
fixing the prices of service at 81 90 per
month for resident and 81 so per month
for business phones, then an increase
should be allowed.
But the law giving us such commits
sion should meet the appreciation of
every Kansan. 1t is so brotherly 1t
wants to protect all concerned. 1t says
Give, and let live Then everybody
felt that as long as big Drained Senator
Bristow is on the commission, everyone
will get square DEAL" No one is
going to be able to ''put something
over" and if an increase is made it will
be because it was justice to the COM
pany.

Kansas not Dumping Ground for
Criminals

Kansas not a Dumping Ground for
Criminals
All over our little city may be found
"stickers" put out by the 81. W. ""
members. It has this legend printed
upon it: Higher wages, better food,
shorter hours or Sabotage" 1t is
laudable ambition in any one to want
better conditions in life, to have
reasonable wage, wholesome food, and
shorter hours; but to advocate, if these
things are not coming, the doctrine
taught under the head of Sabotage is
the lowest kind of ignorant revolution.
Now we need thousands of men in the
State of Kansas during the harvesting
and threshing season, but to have har-
vest calls sent out thirty days before
the season opens is dangerous and very
harmful to every one. 1t seems these
"calls" originate in the cities. This
starts the buns, gamblers, crooks
all classes of bad men to the state.
A crook is a crook in Kansas as well as
in the cities. The majority of the first
''harvesters are here for crooked
work. AS soon as work opens they go
to other fields. They are always here
to plan how to harvest the real har-
vester.
1t is to be hoped that the farmers
will organize, appoint a secretary, and
he viii send in the calls from now on.
AS it is, crook can send the call and
have the various towns filled with the
undesirables, then have the people
blamed for the call.
We find the men who make most all
of the trouble are the 81. W. VS."
They do not care for work, and they
propose to keep all others from work.
They are usually a set of foreigners
who do not have the smell of garlic off
their breath nor the brick dust brushed
from their clothes; but they will stand
around talking Sabotage which means,
when interpreted by them, Ito get
what they demand or they will break
up machinery or destroy crops or they
will instigate a general strike.
No longer than last Tuesday there
were twenty-four who were boarding
off the county. Many were placed
there because of drunkenness, some
because of having concealed weapons,
and some for boot-legging. Our police
men, Stout and WaIz, are making it
warm and uncomforta BILE for the advo-
Gates of Sabotage. Policemen Wall
arrested two of these last Monday
evening. They had twenty-five re
volvers on them. They were walking
arsenels, and rather dangerous when
filled with Missouri booze. Here and
now the Free Press registers mighty
protest against the cities making Kan
sas dumping ground for their Grim
| inals.

An editor is a millionaire without
money, a congressman without a job,
king without throne. He constructs
without hammer or saw, builds rail
road without spikes or rails and farms
without a pillow. He runs a butcher
journalistic world and deals brains
cheap for cash or credit. He loves
those who advertise wish him as he
does brother. The editor is teacher,
a lawyer, a preacher, and he sends
truths out to save souls and is con-
demned himself. He heals the wound
ed, cares for the dying and rescues the
perishing and starves himself when a
ham sandwich would jerk him from the
jaws of death--Dorrance Star.
