VIII Take Them Back.

The Topeka republicans have de-
cided to let the silver republicans have
say in nominating candidates for the
spring election, provided they want to
take hand in the primaries. Anyone
will be allowed to vote who will pledge
himself to support the nominees, and
who will help Temporarily to swell the
republican ranks. A member of the
central committee said in discussing
the subject:
Eve all know that often it is only
fool party alliance that keeps us in the
party. It is the crack of the party
lash that holds us to our work. The
leaders have been applying what is
driving men out of the party. we
have driven out enough. and that il
the reason we have a legislature
that will ruin us that is running us to.
day."
Another member of the committee
took different view of the matter and
was not in favor of forgiving the men
who deserted in the hour of need last
fall. He said:
ssI think that anyone who deserted
the party and went to the enemy Ia
such an important election as the one
last fall should not now be allowed to
vote at the republican primaries. / am
not in fovor OF allowing those who
voted tor silver to nominate our can
didates Tor the coming election. .

Danger Ahead.

Rev. Cortland Myers, pastor of a
Baptist church in Brooklyn, recently
preached the first of series of sermons
on what saw in the Homes of the
Rich" He scathingly denounced a
number of or leading plutocrats by
name, and CO atinued:
I'm sight of half-starved people in
New York these men fought the in
come tax. because they would rather
have the poor starve than pay it.
The wealth of the land is speedily
concentrating in the Golfers of the few.
In that is one of our gravest perils.
Some day there will be an uprising,
and justice will lead this poverty
stricken mob to victory. In that event
shall carry musket for the slaugh-
ter of selfishness and injustice and
humanity. If riches come from the
mint of dishonesty and cruelty, and
are kept in selfish hands they have
passed through the furnace of hell. A
coal trust or some other inhuman
scheme for the murder of the poor
now obtains the cosiest chair in The
finest house. Fine and imprisonment,
according to law, ought to be inflicted
on any man who, by diabolical and in
human met hods, accomplishes the suf-
fering of millions of poor In order to
increase his millions of money"

Calderheaa ralk. Calamity.

Congressman CaIderhead of the Fifth
district said when he first went to
Washington two years ago: "The peo-
pie of Kansas are for the single gold
standard. l went before the people Of
my district on that issue and was
elected"
His defeat for election last fall seems
to have opened his eyes as the follow
ing will show:
Washington, Feb. 13.-At the last
meeting of the house banking and cur
rency committee. Mr.. Calderhead
of Kansas, pronounced gold
standard republican, spoke against
a bill to incorporate the Interna-
tional American bank with Cornelius
Bliss, Andrew Carnegie, H. D. Armour
and ten other millionaires as incorpor-
ators, eight branch banks to be estab-
tablished in other countries.
Among other things Mr.. Calderhead
said: ''The whole United States is in
a condition of unrest. The under half
of the country believes that il is in
Jured largely by the power of aggre-
gated wealth. They actually believe
it. They believe it to such an extent
that large areas of the country need
nothing but a leader Of ability to give
us an instruction. That is the truth,
and that is the political storm that
will follow any attempt, direct or in
direct, to incorporate the men named
here into private bank, with CAPT.
tai of millians of dollars and the plea
that it is done for the benefit of inter
national commerce will not answer
that mob-for it is mob-which only
needs commanding general to lead
it. If the leader should happen to
have the military instinct it would
mean civil w ar"
The speech was taken as a warning
to the East and was marveled at the
more because of the speakers politics,
there was a sensation in the commit
tee room.
OF course Calderhead is of the opin-
ion that the 'mob" does not know how
to secure change in the laws only by
instruction. But the fact that the
''mob" quietly proceeded to leave him
at home should teach him that the peo-
pie of this country know how to adj
just things without resorting to war;

Average time, excluding stops, 57.54
miles per hour.
The first stop made by the train after
leaving Chicago was at Sixteenth street
for supplies, where four minutes were
consumed At Aurora the travelling en-
| gineer took one minute to look the en-
CINE over and the train ran without a
stop until Mendoza was reached, when
three minutes more were consumed for
the same purpose. A total of twenty
one stops was made between Chicago
and Denver, consuming in all sixty
four minutes. The longest stop was
made at Red Oak, Ia, where engines
were changed on account of a hot
truck. At this point the fastest run
of the trip was made. Soon after leav
ing Creston it was discovered that a
box on one of the engine trucks was
heating, but in spite of this fact the
run of thirty-six miles was made in
thirty-four minutes. At Villisca a
fresh engine was substituted and the
run to Red Oak, fifteen miles, was
made in as many minutes
Over long stretches of road between
McCook and Denver the train made
more than q mile a minute for dis
tances of forty to sixty miles. Six en-
gineers took the train from Chicago to
Denver, making an average of ITO
miles to each run.
Mr.. Mayham left New York Sunday
morning at 10 o'clock on Pennsylvania
Limited in response to repeated mes
sages that his son, William B. May
ham, was lying at the point of death
at Denver. At Fort Wayne Mr.. May
ham became convinced that the ordi-
nary trains would not take him to the
bedside of his son in time to close his
eyes in death, and he promptly wired
the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy road
to have in readiness a special train to
carry him through to Denver in the
shortest possible time.
The Pennsylvania arrived in Chicago

The train left the Union Depot at ex-
actly 10 o'clock Monday morning. The
Burlington road had agreed to make
the trip to Denver inside of twenty

plished in three minutes less than
nineteen hours, or more than five
hours under the stipulated time.

GREAT FEAT.
Special Train of the Burlington Route
Runs from Chicago to Denver, 1,O25
Miles, ut an Average Speed of Nearly
So Miles an Hour.

The Chicago, Burlington & Quincy
Railroad has just accomplished the
greatest feat the world has ever known
for long-distance fast running.
1t was made in a race against death
to carry Henry ]. Mayham OF New
York to the bedside of his dying son in
Denver.
The distance from Chicago to Dem
yer, 1,O25 miles, was covered in ex-
actly 1.O69 minutes actual running
time. This is only small fraction
less than one mile a minute for the
longest continuous run ever made by
any railroad in the world
1t was run made in the ordinary
course OF business. No special prepa-
ration whatever had been contem-
plated for the trip. In exactly forty
four minutes from the time the order
for the train was received the throttle
of the engine was pulled open and the
train glided out of the Union Depot on
a race which surprised railroad men
the world over.
The engine which took the train on
the first run out of Chicago to Gales
burg had just come in from Aurora
pulling regular passenger train. No
time was spent in cleaning up, but it
was quickly turned around, attached to
the special train and manned by the
same engineer who had brought it to
Chicago. Not more than a half dozen
officials or employees of the road knew
the trip was to be made. This fact is
the most important in the history of
the great feat, as it demonstrates the
superb physical condition of the road
and the perfect management which en-
ables such remarkable time to be
maintained for more than thousand
miles.
The time made by the record break
ing train is as follows, including all
ofnnc.

Children should be encouraged to
write letters. 1t gives them facility in
write letters. 1t gies them facility in
expressing their ideas, and If the habit
is established in childhood, it is less
difficult in after life. When they leave
the old home a regular correspondence
is source of the greatest comfort to
both parents and children, and fire.
