Atchison, Topeka g. Santa Fe

The Kansas Midland Railroad, run
ming from Topeka to Kansas City, has
passed into the control of the Atchi-
son, Topeka & Santa Fe Company.
BY the Goth of June through trains of
the latter read viii run over the Mid
land track to Kansas City. This ar
rangement gives the Atchison, Topeka
& Santa Fe new and Independent
outlet TO the East, and, with the COM
pletion of the proposed extension west
to Pueblo, a through line from the
Rocky Mountains TO the Missouri riv-
err. The western extension is now un-
der contract aud will be completed
during the summer. 1t is not gener-
ally known that tho Kansas Pacific
Railway has branch which runs across
to the Arkansas Valley, but such is the
case. The latter road is extending
this branch up to Pueblo, and for a
distance of eighty-two miles the two
roads run side by side. The Kansas
Pacific does this TO save her large
freight business in Mexico. The re-
suit of ths rivalry will be fast trains
and low freight.

Must Change It.

The change made in the postal law
effected by the Forty Third Congress
for the benefit of the express compa
MICS, apparently, has seriously dimin
ished the income of the Department
upon thirdclass mail matter, and the
Postmaster General will recommend 8
repeal of the injurious amendments
The committee claims that it was more
an oversight than any intention to op
press the people. If 50, let it mend
the matter as soon as Congress meets
by reporting the old sections as al
amendment.

The Third Term Letter.

The action of the late Republican
convention in Pennsylvania gave Tho
President an opportunity to speak, il
an open letter, upon the Third Term
bug-bear, which letter will be found
elsewhere in the EAGLE. That he eff
fcctually punctures Democratic Cesar.
ism no honest man viii deny. Like
all business attempted by him, the old
war hero goes straight through the
problem. Affecting no buncombe and
piling on no gauzy patriotism, he tells
the simple, plain truth as entertained
by common sensed people generally,
We hope our Democratic readers will
give the letter careful reading.

As an illustration of thisI may tell you
that on tho 2sth ult., at Fort Larned, l
fell in with a party Of excursionists
from Illinois and Ohio, who were be-
ing entertained at dinner by the citi-
zens of that place, and very earnest
invitation to stop over and take pot
luck" with them was forcib,y backed
up by the assurance that prominent
clements of the .'cheer" should consist
of new potatoes and green peas,grown
upon the premises in the open air.
Circumstances forbade my acceptance
of the hospitable invitation, but since
then | have been repeatedly toasted
upon both esculents, with straw berries
thrown in, grown in the gardens of
Wichita.
From all that have seen then--its
intellectually rich alluvial soil, its gor-
geous glades and meadows melllnuouR
with myriad sweet flowers, many tint
ed as the rainbow, its picturesque
slopes and smiling valleys teeming
with flocks aud herds, aud Glowing
with milk and honey, which is the glo-
nv of all lands IFS winding brooks and
streams of purest crystal, its noble riv-
ers Fastening onward to the sea, AID dis |
health, wealth and purity as
they progress, its never failing springs
of sweetest waters, bubbling UP on |
every hand to bless both man and
beast, its precious mines-inexhausti-
BILE storehouses of wealth to enrich and
lggrandizc future generations. Above
Ill, its salubrious climate unsurpassed
Tor health and vigor by any other part
IF the continent-Kansas is destined to
DC at no very distant day leading
State in this Union in population,
wealth and influence. In short what
he citizen above alluded to, has with
,qual propriety denominated ''The

The Hail Storm and Other Items.


UNION TOWNSHIP. June s, 1875.
Mr.. EDITOR: 1t is about the hail
storm that every one is talking. So
will write you how we saw and have
heard about it since the storm. 1t
struck our house at near the hour of
midnight of the LIST of June. When
| say struck l mean it, in the fullest
sense of the word. And window
panes is what the ladies say don't for
get when you go to town. Crops were
injured more or less, and some are
growing at their luck, while others,
in fact most of them, are working
away as though nothing had happened,
and think we have great reason TO be
thankful that tie hail storm did not
last fifteen minutes even. Some of
the hail stones were as large around as
common size tea-cup, and several
houses in this vicinity had holes bro
ken through their roofs and siding.
Some are still finding holes in the
ground which they are certain could
not have been made by anything but
hail stone. These vary in size from
wash tub down to common saucer.
ANY smaller than that are not noticed.
These big ones are reported from Gree
ley Township, and we have no reason
to dispute the stories.
By the way, Greeley has another
post office. Fayette is the name, and
Hamden is the boss manager. The
deputies are too numerous to mention.
We have Sunday School in running
order, with an average attendance of
thirty-five, and have received nice
box of books from the good people of
Decatur, Illinois, for which they will
please accept the thanks of the whole
school.
Our prospects for crops are very
good SO far. If the hoppers do not
come some wheat will do to cut in a
week.
From one who has been trying to
raise some of Farmer KS fifteen cent
corn. 1t failed last year.

THE THIRD TERM.
What the President Thinks of It

EXECUTIVE MANSION,
WASHINGTON, May 90, 1915.
DEAR SIR: A short time subsequent
to the Presidential election of 1872,
the press, portion of it hostile to the
Republican party and particularly SO
to the administration, started the cry
of Cesarism and third term, calling
Justify for me to define my position on
the latter subject. / belieled it to be
beneath the dignity of the office which
| have been twice called upon to fill,
to answer such question before the
subject should be presented By compe-
tent authority to make nomination,
or by body of such dignity and au-
thoritv as not to make a reply fair
subject of ridicule. In fact, l have
been surprised that so many sensible
persons in the Republican party should
permit their enmity to force upon them
and their party all issue which cannot
add strength to the party, no matter
how met; but body of the dignity
and party authority of convention to
make nominations for the State officers
of the second State in the Union, hav-
ing considered this question, deem it
not improper that should now speak
In the first place, / never sought the
office for second nor even first NOM
ination. To the first was called from
life position, one created by Congress
expressly fur me for supposed services
rendered to the Republic. The posi-
ton vacated | liked. 1t would have
been most agreeable to me to have re-
tanned it till such time as Congress
might have consented to my retire
ment with the rank and portion of
the emoluments which 80 much need
ed, to house where the balance of my
days might be spent in peace and the
enjoyment Of domestic quiet, retired
from the cares which have oppressed
me SO constantly now for fourteen
years but was made to believe that
the public good called me to make the
sacrifice. Without seeking the office
for the second time the nomination
was rendered to me by an unanimous
vote of the delegates of all the States
and Territories, selected by the Repub-
licans of each, to represent their whole
number for the purpose of masking
their nomination. / cannot say that 1
was not pleased at this, and at the
overwhelming endorsement which
their action received at the election
following; but is must be remembered
that all the sacrifices except that of
comfort had been made, III accepting
the first term. Then, too, such q fire
of personal abuse and slander mad
