UNQUALIFIED ENDORSEMENT.

Another prominent citizen of a leading
city in the southern part of the state
writes the editor of the EAGLE, heartily
endorsing what he has had to say of late
in defense of the public welfare as he
understands it. The letter was not writ
ten for publication, but we can not re-
frain from giving the EAGLES readers
the benefit Of at least a part of the whole
some truths our friend utters. He saws:
A man that runs a great newspaper
like the EAGLE. that can rise above party
politics and stand up for the rights and
interests of the masses, should be COM
mended, and the people should let you
know that they approve of your course.
While | believe every man in the land
Democrats and Republicans, believes in
protecting home industries as much as is
needed, as long as the same can be done
without detriment to other industries,
vet no person can say that we should be
taxed today to support those indus
tries more than we were before
the war If they prospered before the
war on an average duty of less than 20
per cent, what is the sense of protecting
them now by a duty of over - per cent:
They were not considered infants in go.
and they certainly, then. must have OBJ

this. but every reduction we have ever
had in the tariff since the war, has been
in those things that we do not produce
i'm this country. while duties have been
constantly increased on those things that
we do produce. This kind of legislation
deprives the government of revenue and
at the same time enriCheS our manu-
facturerS These same tactics are
very prominent in the Mckinley bill by
taking duties off of sugar. Some other

AN UNJUST IMpUTATIoN.

The inventive Kansas City Times at
tempts to parry the force of the crash on
its party produced by the defalcation of
City Treasurer Peake by declaring that
in 1878 William Weston, a Republican,
fell short in his accounts as city treas
urer to the extent of some 49,, 900. But
beyond the fact that there was such a
shortage in the latter's accounts there is
no similarity in the two cases. Weston's
loss was the result of having the city's
funds deposited with the Mastin bank,
which, up to the time of its failure, was
regarded as one of the strongest monied
institutions in the country, and no sort
of blame attached to Weston for the
loss, as there could not, for the reason
that he had exercised the best business
precaution of placing the city's money
where it was supposed by all to be abso-
lutely safe, and not one cent of the
amount lost Injured to his benefit in any
way. In Peake's case no such precau-
ton was taken and no such bank failure
occurred, but so far as the public know
from the facts and circumstances given
through the city prints the shortage is
the result of criminal carelessness or in
territorial wrong doing. The Times does
itself and its party fiduciary no good by
attempting to smirch political oppo-
nent in this manner, but rather invites
attacks that otherwise would probably
not have been made.

THE CENTURY.

From the Boston Globe.
The adaptability Of this dictionary to
the growing pressure upon the time of
any one engaged in literary work Is ac-
centuated with the receipt Of each part.
While the Century Dictionary cannot
be claSsed as a low-priced book, we have,
nevertheless, been impressed with Its
cheapness, using that word in Its true
sense of a larger value in proportion 20
its money cost. The best way 10 est
mate the cheapness or dearness Of a book
is TO compare it with another book
claiming to cover similar ground. There
is one feature that elevates the literary
and scientific value of the Century I'M
measurablv above that of all its com
petitOrs, past and present. 1t Is the fact
of the principle of division of labor hav-
ing been for the first time recognized in
such a work; the whole range of human
knowledge having been divided among
thirty-one specialists Of the highest
standing. whose names and several sub
jects are all printed in the Introductory
pages. The etymology, spelling, pro
and grammar are all cared
for by Prof. William Dwight Whitney,
of Yale university; whose reputation,
even in England, is higher As philolO-
gist than that of other excellent scholars.

PECULIAR PHENOMENA.

Late Thursday afternoon the vicinity
of Belle PLANE, twenty-five miles south
of this city, was visited by a series of
very peculiar phenomena that may be
denominated cloud burst, which our
local correspondent describes as follows;
A strong south wind blew until about
5 p. N. Light clouds were flying all
day. Suddenly a thick, black cloud,
large enough to cover a five acre field,
hung high in the air, apparently Just
over the Santa Fe railraad depot. Below
light vapor like silver clouds gently
played to and fro. A lower strata APP
peared to move north as far as the north
limit OF the black cloud. A higher cloud
appeared to pass gently south between
the upper and lower strata. A few hun
bred people stood on the sidewalks
in breathless silence watching the grand
phenomenon. After about ten minutes
a small silvery rope like tail drops from
the silver cloud; gently its point nears
the earth, swaying to and fro; lower
and lower it drops until it almost touches
the earth; then with gentle and steady
pull it rises again until half way up to
the cloud from where it came. Then
" lJfi d ItlOl1Oil ptllOt do StLilS IL uIOIJS 10
the earth, this time thick black line
appears to extend through the center of
the storm cloud the center of which APP
pears about as large as a -four barrel and
tapers to an invisible point. Then it
drops its point to the earth a few hun
dred yards to the north. The air is filled
with black dust which looks like the
smoke of burning building. We watch
its track: its black line moves on to the
northeast until in few minutes
it disappears. The black cloud
still hangs apparently unmoved
or unchanged. A new cloud drops to
the earth and the first performance is re-
peated. This time the cloud can be
traced by his black dusty track far out
of sight to the southwest. Now suddenly
a sharp peal of thunder is heard. In a
moment the sky is covered with dark
clouds and rain descends in torrents.
There is now light wind from the
north and rain continues to pour down.
Again suddenly the wind turns to the
cas-, a few big Jumps of hail fall for five
minutes, then hail sets in in earnest and
lasts for another half hour. 1t is still
raining at p. m. No one can tell what
the damage has been from either wind
or rain, but do not think the wind was
severe. ?. S.-Have just heard of some
small houses torn to pieces by the wind.

THE SANTA FE-FRISCO DEAL.

From tie Globe Democrat.
The AtchisOn'S absorption of the Frisco

and the papers were signed in Boston
yesterday afternoon. The final details
will be arranged in New York today.
and the official announcement viii prob
ably be made on Monday next Presi-
dent Winslow, of the Frisco, will retire
in three weeks. and ne states that further
changes in the management will be duly
announced by the AtchiSon people. This
is matter of importance tOseveral hun
bred employees of the Frisco. and the
sooner their suspense is relieved the bet
ter. 1t Is also a feature Of interest 70 ST.
Louis The Frisco has always been re-
garded as home road, and as the general
offices are located at the terminus. and
as the freight depot employs a
large number OF people here, the
St. Louis division of the Atchison system
will be watched with some anxiety.
Business men here express satisfaction
at the Atchison advent and it Is gener-
ally believed that the consolidation OF

The case of ex-United States Senator
Jones Of Florida is as singular as it is
sad. A politician of ability and success
and lawyer of unusual accomplish
ments in the branch of his profession re-
lating to constitutional Interpretation
and administration, the gifted but atfiict-
ed man is apparently of sound mind on
all matters excepting his one absorbing
delusion of marriage with a great heiress.
His incarceration in the retreat for the
demented near Detroit may be terminal
ed by the application he has made as
citizen of Florida for a transfer of his
case to a United States court.

CHANGING CREEDS,

Religious creeds are not always sy-
nonymous with religious beliefs. Six
months ago the Episcopal convention,
meeting inNew York, spent much time in
considering the question Of modifying
its creed to conform to the beliefs Of a
large and influential element of its
church membership. A similar situation
confronts the Presbyterian General As
Sembly now in session at Saratoga.
The question of the revision of the
Westminster confession strikes at the
very roots Of Presbyterianism. That
church has its foundation on a dogma
and exists iii its creed. The fatalistic
doctrines of Calvinism, as set forth in the
confession = predestination, foreordina-
ton, election and all - are essen
tial to its existence, constitutionally and
historically. Eliminate these and Pres
byterianism, as the denomination found
ed and nurtured by Calvin, Knox. Ed
wards, Mather, McCosh and Patton, no
longer exists. The straight line of de-
scent Will have been broken.
eral Assembly is serious. 1t is plain that
the majority of the church members are
no longer in sympathy with the creed to
which they subscribed. The movement
for revision dates back to 1888. This
year 1913 presbyteries have voted in favor
of revision and go against it, while
have declined to vote; that is, nearly
twO-thirdS of the denomination demand
that their creed shall no longer stand as
a mere unexpected form. but shall be
made to agree with the actual beliefs of
the congregations.
The immediate results of the contrO-
versy can only be foreshadowed. The
debate in the assembly viii be notable.
The great thinkers and powerful orators
of the church are marshaled for the bat
tie royal and the contest will be a remark
able display of the intellectual force
of American Presbyterianism. The anti
revisiOnists, although numerically in the
minority, are strongly entrenched, for
they are united on the side of conserva-
tism. They stand in defense of estab-
Hshed usage, and they can point, as a
powerful argument, to the danger of
abandoning the faith of the fathers that
has been the bulwark of the church. sim
ply to catch the present breeze Of popular
favor. On the other hand, the revision
lists are not united save on the broad
general question. Different opinions
prevail as to the exact character and the
extent Of the revision that they desire
1t is quite likely that the victory may be
with the minority, and that a compro-
mise will be effected by which the final
disruption that now seems imminent
may be for time postponed.

One of the great questions now under
consideration is the quantity and quality
of the coming wheat crop. AS 10 the
quantity, the government report and
that of the different states give cause for
serious apprehensiops. There is no
doubt that the standard of American
wheat is constantly deteriorating. The
exports to Europe have fallen off as re-
CARDS wheat. while an increase is noted
in flour. The aggregate shows a de
crease. and Europe as a customer of
American breadstuffs has lost its i'm
portance, both as to the quantity CON
sumed and the price it is willing to pay.

there are no open saloons in Kansas and
that the youth of the state are I'M

every time they do it they expose them
