SAY STRAWBERRIES ARE
NOT BADLY HURT

Canon City growers have become
convinced the last few days that the
strawberry crop here was not greatly
injured by the recent frosts and are
of the opinion that there will be ninety
per cent of an average yield. Apples.
cherries and other fruits are also
found to have suffered less from the
storm than was believed at the time.
Some good judges in such matters say
there will be sixty per cent of a full
crop OF apples and about the same of
cherries.

ARE ENGINEERS
FAIRLY PAID?

The average engineer the Western roads
earns $I,SI99I year. Some get over $1,000.
From the first DAYS of rairoading its hazards have
always been considered in fixing the wages of
employees.
The risks have been steadily decreasing, because
of millions spent for safeguards. Government
statistics prove this.
Yet wages of engineers and Others in train service
have steadily increased and today they are de-
manding further increase of one hundred
million dollars year.
The earnings of the railroads come from either
freight or passenger rates paid by the public.
To graat this wage demand would be equivalent
to imposing tax of S. year every family
OF FIVE in the United States.

Does Kansas See q New Light
On Lynching?

IN Topeka, several wel-meaning persons
publish a weekly paper whose encouraging
name is, The Farmers Mail and Breeze.
Whether this paper was one of those which
abused and maligned the State of Georgia,
when the Vigilantes executed Leo Frank, IN
accordance qcith the mandate of the higheSt
COURTS [ do not know but it is now taking
the same position which The Jefers0ni0n
took, last year
They have had a lynching in Kansas, and
Kansas is not universally abused and ma
hgned.
The criminal who was executed by Vigi-
lantes in Kansas had not pursued, lured, en-
trapped, assaulted, and choked to death with
a cruel cord little girl Of Il gears the Kan
sas man had slain two old people, and, like
Leo Frank, used the cellar to conceal the
crime.
The Editor of The Farmers Mail and
Breeze, defending the lynchers, takes exactly
the same line took, and even uses my illus
tration, the California Vigilantes.
Editor T. A. McNeal had better be careful:
the first thing he knows the Wilson admins
tration will be threatening to have him
dragged out of his State for trial.
If Bert Dudley had been a Jew, a score
of Hebrews would have gone to Washington,
and told Attorney General Gregory that an
honest jury could not be secured in Kansas,
and that McNeal should be indicted In New
Jersey, or Vermont, OF Massachusetts,, or some
other sacred place.

Law and order are of course sacred, pro-
V5ded the law is just, and the order based on

Conservatism is a noble principle, provided
the thing to be conserved is, In itself, noble.
But, is a refusal to discuss the conditions

Have these men lost their right to be heard?
Are they Mexcon poems? Have they lost
their birthright as American citizens?

These Street Car Companies do not own

They hold charters from the State, and
these charters impose upon the corporations
