be an outrage and would raise the

American railroads have the high

Transcontinental railroads have spent
hundreds of millions buying bigger
cars, heavier engines, cutting out

speed in reaching markets. Then
employees renew their fight to make
this investment for progress and effic-
iency in transportation worthless and

jack who was the victim of many
practical jokes. In spirit of fun
the men told this fellow they had read
certain things about him in the Spo-

the seed of murder was sown in the

laboring under the impression that the
editor of the Spokane Chronicle had
wronged him, went to Spokane and
murdered one of the editors of that
paper.
Who was responsible for that
crime? That poor, misguided man,
a victim of practical jokers, fred by
fancied wrong? The law held him
responsible but the men who sowed the
seed are more guilty, and deserved
punishment. That murder was the
