"CHILI NEEDS A LESSON"

lHOIldS o. OldIh, Va DCldNeuH,
reads the Times Democrat lecture
for daring to assert that "Chili
needs a lesson for lis savage and
cowardly attacks upon the repre-
senatlves Of this country. He
sends a letter to our neighbor,
which closes with the following
violent outbreak of Known0thing.
ism
"On this question has it ever
struck you that Chill is proud land
justly SOY OF being one of the fore
most nations south of the equator?
And being so, desires to see some
thorough American represent this
country at our legislation there.
Yet our chief representative is an
lrishman, of doubtful American
citizenship, while it is a well
known fact that those assaulted
at Valparaiso and Santiago, al
though they wore The American
uniform, were not Americans.
Chill without doubt would and
will respect self-respecting Ameri-
cans, but you cannot justly
blame her Or her people for resent
ing impertinences Ito say nothing
worse) from foreigners who mas
querade or seek shelter under the
Stars and Stripes"
1t would be interesting to know
what sort OF an American is the
writer Of the above. Even were
it so that the individuals so barbar-
ously treated by the ''.iustly proud
CHILEAN rufIians, we're not natives
of the United. States, yet they were
h%onorably employed in defense Of
this country and were merely as.
sailed and solely because they
wore It's uniform. They would not
have been disturbed had their
colors been those of France, Eng
land, Germany, or any other coun-
try. Then how grossly unworthy is
this attack upon them from their
own country-whelher native or
naturallzed. As for Minister
Egan, The President and Secretary
OF State, have warmly approved
his judgment, prudence and patri.
otism during the trying ordeal of
the past few months, when he has
been confronted, not only by the
desperate and bloody discussions
of the Chilians, but subjected to
the plots and Vaccinations of the
English who sought to maintain
their commercial supremacy by
destroying a rival, whom they Just.

AN early settlement of the ex'

settlement will be depends entire

THE SIMS GANG LYNCHED.

Bob Sims, the fanaiical Ala
bama outlaw, and five others OF
his desperate followers have been
lynched in Choctaw County, Ala
by an exasperaied mob of citizens.
The first one lynched was Con.
Savage, on. Christmas eve, then
Bob Sims, Tom Savage and Young
Savage on the night Of the 18th nit,
and John Sims and Mosley on last
Sunday night
The righteousness of Bob Sims

a vainglorions role that cost the
lives OF his brothers and sons and
some of his deluded friends, who
together murdered their neighbors,
men, women and children, because
his continued defiance of the law
OF the land was opposed. The peo.

daughters, but burned his dwelling
and all other houses, and killed
every living thing to be found on
his place.
The lynchers were in pursuit OF

When Bob Sims was arrested sew
eral months ago by a United
States marshal with a posse, for
dlstilling illicit whiskey he was
rescued by his gang. la the fight,
which occurred, DIR. ough, who was
in no way connected with the
officers, was killed, a brother of
Sims was killed and another broth
er wounded, who was hung by a
mob soon afterwards to a tree,
Bob Sims escaped and his family
were driven out of the county
He appealed TO The governor of
Alabama to be allowed to return
with his followers to their homes
which was after awhile agreed tC
through some sort ofacomprimise.

CHEAP POWER WITHOUT FUEL.

CHEAP POWER WITHOUT FUEL.
We notice the Topeka Capital de-
votes its leading editorial OF las
Wednesday to a plan for utilizing thu
proposed dam at that place to gener-
ate power and transmit the same
where wanted By wire in the same
manner as contemplated by the Gil
berts from the twenty-foot fall OF oul
south side canal. The Capital advo-
Gates having a steam plant in readi-
ness to provide against emergencies,
and gives facts and figures TO demon
strate that such power would be more
economical than that used at Leaven-
worth where coal is SO cheap. The
Edison Illuminating Company is au-
thority for the statement that this pro-
posed power is twenty per cent. cheap
er than the power in use by Leaven-
worth manufactures, almost at the
mouth of those great coal mines.
The writer treats the matter as
foundation for building up great
manufacturing and wholesale jobbing
center at Topeka, There seems to be
sound argument in fayos Ct the prop
osition, and whatever can be urged
upoa this side of the question applies
with equal force to Dodge City, l
is exceedingly fortunate FOR Our city
that with her natural advantages as q
distributing center and railroads to
do the carrying IN every direction, she
has this canal SO favorably adapted to
generating power, with sufficient cap
ital behind it to promote manufacture
ing establishments and enlarge the
same as the great expanse OF fertile
plains and valleys of southwest Kan
sas fills up with thrifty farmers.
The trend Of "the Star Of Empire
Is inevitably westward. It does not
move continuously and uninterrupted
". It Gibbs and flows like the tcean
tide with THU difference, that each
recurring forward movement ad-
vances farther, while each ebbing tide
recedes less than those preceding.
We have just passe ! through a low
tide for the whole country, and now
the reaction has begun. The ''Star
of Empire" is again moving westward
with giant strides. At noon on
Thursday of last week the wires
flashed q message from Phil. D. Ar
mour, Of Chicago, to his Kansas City
agents, ordering work to begin on q
vast new packing establishment,
which will carry with itbox factories,
cooper shops, soap works, etc. This
will at once give employment to three
thousand men and counting an aver
age of five persons to the man add d.
rectly fifteen thousand to the popuia-
ton Of that city.
We mention this simply as an illus
tration of the westward movement
and could cite numerous examples tt
verify the fact that the western aigl
tide is now on.
Suffice it to say Dodge City is pre-
pared and equipped to take the full
benefit of the swelling tide which i:
coming with overwhelming force
She has the water fall to generate
electric power which can be applied
by tee new method. 1t is owned BY
European capitalists. Our protection
policy has whetted their appetites fol
investments in American manufac
tories, and when such arebuilt in this
region, which they surely will be in s
short time, Dodge City Will certainly
be the point where they will center
for southwest Kansas.
