And as to the temperance question I do not think that should enter into this campaign nity at large. It is probable, however, that a straight line from Hutchinson to Huntsville will be followed as near as practicable. From the latter point the route is entirely undetermined, except in a general way, but it is likely that the road will ultimately be extended to Hudson on the Missouri Pacific railroad or to Stafford or Great Bend. Asked concerning the motive power to be used by the road, Mr. Oldfield stated that at the outset all freight would be moved by steam, aad also pos The question to pay suggests the pay fair proposition.

It is a curious thing that the membergets less pay that the man who opens and shuts near as much as some people see fit to imagine.

The mayor may in only be enjoyed by men of means.

A bench warrant was issued and later he was found on the street and placed in jail. Don't Miss 'Em. The legislature has been in session for nearly a week, and yet, strange to relate, all of the colored statesmen of this city can be found occupying their usual positions on the street corners.

Why is it? Is it jiossible that that use either electric trolley cars, or else gasoline, electric or "other self-propelling" cars for the general passenger service, in order to give the people at least six trains a day, each way, stopping for passengers at every section line. Many of the self-propelling ears are in successful operation in various parts of the country, where they are giving general satisfaction and proving economical in operation. Mr. Oldfield says that he has lived in Central California on a railroad very similar in all respects to the road now struct the police to arrest bootleggers board bill during the time he is in Topeka. they see them selling on the streets makes no recommendation on the subject.

There is one important railroad matter which Governor Hoch mentions, about which little has been said. He calls attention to the fact that Kansas rates are made to and from Kansas City and the state railroad board therefore has no control over thsm because they are interstate traffic. "Kansas City, Kan," he says, "though the largest city in the state, and the natural terminal of the state's business, is practically ignored in tariff schedules. This should not be. If our laws are to be of value, we must insist that the railroads provide places for the recep and alleys, and turn them over to the state authorities, but they cannot arrest a joint keeper as they have no right to enter a joint unless called in Two year later he was drafted by the Democratic state convention as its candidate for attorney general on an anti-pass platform, against his wishes, and at first refused the nomination.
