OUT FOR PETTUOHN
Lieut., Gov, Morgan Endorses Candi-
date for Secretary State.

In . flatterinE editorial In his
Hutchinson News. Lieut.. Gov. w. 7.
Morgan endorses the candidacy of L.
]. Petttjohn Of Dodge City for the
Republican nomination for secretary
of state. Morgan gave the Pettijohn
endorsement lead position on his edi-
torial page and declared there are few
men IN Kansas more thoroly qualified
TO handle the state office than the
Dodge City man.
Few men in southwestern Kansas
are more familiar with the life and
activities of the Dodge City man than
Morgan. For more than thirty years
Pettitohn has been associated with the
history making and the upbuilding of
the short grass country. He is a
recognized force and power in business
and public affairs in western Kansas
and the Morgan statement of his
ability and integrity Is one of a num-
Der of flattering endorsements from
the Kansas press.
The Morgan editorial as published
in the Hutchinson News follows:
The announcement of the can
didacy of L. J. Pettjohn, of Dodge
City, for the Republican nomination
for secretary of state will be received
with approval. In the first place MT
Pettijohn Is we'll qualified for the posi-
ton. There is no one who can fulfill
the many and important duties of the
office better, and mighty few could dc
as we'll. In the second place during
his active public life he has made 8
record for ability and efficiency wher-
ever he has been called upon, and he
adds to the business qualities kindly
courteous manner which is of advan-
tage to the public. His integrity IL
unquestioned and there is no doub
but that he would make a splendid
state official.
In southwest Kansas, Mr.. PettijohT
will be exceptionally strong. y He has
been a factor in its growth and prog
ress, helper in all the forward move
ments, and a personal friend of more
people than any other man that we
know Of He has made the good fight
for others and now they will doubtless

Notice for Bible Classes.
The Bible classes are ready to be-
gin work at the Y. w. c. A on next
Tuesday, October 2. The women meet
at 10 in the morning and 2:30 in the
afternoon. I hope that some who
have enrolled in the morning will
transfer to the afternoon that the
class may be divided more evenly.
The Y. w. girls meet at Z o'clock
I would urge everybody to be present:
bringing Lesson 1 from the State
Journal; also pencil and Bible. Spe-
cial pains will be taken to instruct
everybody how to study the lessons
and make them interesting and help
full. They are not too hard for any
one to work out. The Ignorance
that many women claim and feel, need
be no barrier to joining the class. No
one is made to feel uncomfortable OIL
out of place.
High school girls have the same
work, for high school credit, on Sur
day morning at the First Presbyterian
church. Come with US somewhere
and help make the Bible take an hon.
ored place in the activities of oul
women. Read Genesis, chapters IA
then come to class and see what added
interest is given them in the recita-
ton.

NO PEACE SPEECH
Chancellor Suddenly Decides
Not To Address Reichstag.
Sees Kaiser's Efforts Gained Ne
Credence With People.
BY J. W. t. MASON.

New York, Sept 29.-Chancenor
Michaelis' sudden decision not to adj
dress the reichstag publicly ON peace,
but to make a secret statement to the
reichstag's main committee. is new
indicauon of the fiounderins indie
cision that has oveFtaken the kaiseF's
peace drive
1t is apparent that the peace pro-
paganda is not working out as the
German efficiency experts predicted
among themselves that It would. I'm
expected things are happening that

las staging their farce OF taking the
German people into their confidence
The instantaneous rejection by public
-sssnion in the United States and in
che allied countries Of the katser's
Winning proposal for the semi-restora-
ton OF Belgium Is unquestionabIy the
reason why the German chancellor has
recnnsidered his plans to speak be-
fore the reichstaS.
Can't Feed With FalschoOds.
He had arranged to tell the Ger

brought aBpreciably nearer, on terms

Michaelis, therefore, dared not go
before the reiohstag with boastful
words, for the German people must
know now that the ksiser's latest
peace offer has been riddled by cFiti-
cism
IL is very significant that coupled
with the announcement Of Michaelfs'
forthcoming declaration in the reichS-

that he viii discuss the Alsace-Lor-

Having failed to tempt the entente

conditions were due either to an uneven
distribu. of the passengers-b between
the two car, or to the occasional use of
a car of small seating capacity. 1t is
difficult to. avoid the former. The COM
pany should not, and will be expected not
to, employ the smaD9st cars for this SER
vice except when compelled by unavoid-
able contingencies.
The crowded condition on rear plat
forms in particularly annoying. 1t Is
hard to control When the cars are
crowded it cannot be escaped; but often
it is exaggerated by the unwillingness of
passengers to step inside and forward in
the car. 1t is not unusual to force ones
way through a crowd on the platform to
find plenty of standing room inside, and
sometimes unoccupied seats. Often per-
sons stand for short distances, inside and
out, when seats intended for two are
occupied by one

though not soon enough.
We are assured that plans are now
actually being made by skillful engin-
GERS to secure increased power without
unnecessary delay, and that the COM
pany expects to expend approximately
s2oo,e for that purpose. There have
also been ordered four additional A.
wheel and four S-wheel passenger cars
to add tc present equipment. 1t is
hoped that they may be- received in
season to relieve the traffic load when
the open GAYS are laid off in the fall. In
any event, will. the orders already
placed they will be had as soon as pres
ent abnormal conditions will permit,
and no order of this Commission can
hurry them.
The allegation in the complaint relat-
ing to overcrowded cars confined itself
to the 5.45 P. NJ. weekday car from
Hallowell to Augusta-4.15 p NJ. on
Saturdays-these being the cars that
accommodated the shoe shops at
Hallowell. The evidence showed that
these cars were often filled beyond seat
ing capacity and frequently with the
rear platform crowded.
This is rush-hour trip, ana an ex-
cess OF passengers over seating capac-
ity of ten to twenty per cent is usually
regarded not unreasonable In rush hour
service. Special conditions may vary
this in special cases. The evidence in
the present case does not indicate ex-
cessive overcrowding except in instance
es where, for causes already stated, the
company failed to furnish it's regular
qi'ota of cars for this trip
Table l. below. shows the number of
passengers registered in the extra car
and the regular and the seating capacity
of each car on this trip for each week
day from February ], 1917, to March -,
inclusive. It will be seen that extreme
Daily Kennebec journal. [microfilm reel] (Augusta, Me.) 1870-1975, 1917-04-17

portunity should be given to try out
the proposed additional equipment
and improved power plant. More
power and more modern cars on the
companys lines with careful attention
to details in local operation will rem
edy the evils which the evidence
clearly disoloses as having existed dur
ing the past winter.
One other suggestion may be con-
sidered Mr.. Fred Belyea, superin-
tendent in the Crossett Shoe factory,
on the east side of the river in Angus
ta requested that the morning car
from the south be brought into Au-
gusta earlier so that the employees
could reach the factory at o'clock,
instead Of from five to ten minutes
later This in itself seemed to be
reasonable request, and we have given
it especial consideration.
This could be done only by setting
the o'clock car into Augusta ahead
from the beginning Of it's trip; all Of
the cars going in either direction be-
tween Augusta and Gardiner before
that hour also would have to be set
ahead in order to make the turnouts
without delays This would cause pa
irons employed in Gardiner and Hal
lowell to wait longer for their work.
to start up. and inconvenience many Of
them as much as the Crossett help
would be inconvenienced by taking a
half hour earlier car into Augusta.
The respondent is making special
efforts to get this car into Augusta
promptly. and that Is as much as
seems practicable.
This complaint will be held without
final order or disposition. pending a
reasonable opportunity for the re-
spondent to complete the improve
ments indicated.
