the WISE MEN SAY.

II is apparent that something 10
going TO happen In railroad circles
In the near future, aud the Galena
Republican claims to be on the In.
side track of the deal. II says:
There 10 an immense amount of
activity In railroad circles just now,
which 10 not at all apparent to the
general public.
The wise men of the town, and
who claim 10 be we'll versed Ia elec-
trio railway affairs, say that before
many moons have been added to
history vast, that Galena will be
Witnessing the erection of one of
the greatest electric power houses
west of the Mississippi. It will be
built here for the purpose of ex.
tending the line to Baxter and Col
umbus, and on to Frontenac, to
connect with the Pittsburg lines of
street railway.
So the wise men say.
Now why should not this be the
case?
Now the wise men say that the
Memphis people are going to make
an attempt to intercept the Galena
and Carthage electric line in it's
triumphant march through three
of the richest counties upon the
face of Jehovah's mighty foot stool
namely, Jasper, Cherokee, and
Crawford. The Memphis officials
have been comforting with the Mis-
souri, Pacific people and another
suburban service of great magni.
tude is going into effect. The Mem
ohis is going to haul the people
from Carthage over the Missouri
Pacific tracks to Joplin, and from
Joplin to Pittsburg over their own
tracks. The Memphis people hope,
by giving the people of Baxter, Col.
umbus, Weir City and Pittsburg a
suburban train service, to deter the
electric line from farther cong quests
in this very rich territory. The
wise men say that the Memphis
suburban service will soon be a
condition and not theory, and
why should il not?

UNIVERSITY CENTER.

Tuesday evening the class met at
the beautiful home of L. N. Perkins.
Two months ago they met there to
visit Norway and Sweden. Since
then the class has been studying
the literature of Russia, and Mon
day closed up with the coolest
night of the season, a truly Russian
climate.
Tuesday morning found that the
storm had passed, and the temper
ature continued to rise all day with
the glorius sunlight, and when the
following persons In the evening:
Prof. and Mrs. Noble, Mesdames

meas, escape from the ruins of an
cient Troy, and his voyage to Lavi.
niam where afterwards his descend.
ants built the city of ancient Rome.
Mrs. Harvey was then introduced
and gave briefly in her fascinating
style story of the Roman repub.
lie.
Mrs. Opperman followed with a
and very able address upon
Roman literature.
Mrs. Hollomon was then intro.
iuced and read some beautiful ex-
tracts from Corrium. n work written
by Madam De Stael one hundred |
years ago. but which furnished q
inc description of some of the rich
st historic scenes upon the seven
hills of ancient Rome. At this
point, Prof. Noble delivered the
lass over to Mr.. Perkins who had
'isited Rome several times, and
Who with his wife spent some time
here last year. With the class ar.
'anged around long table he
stood like q Rabbi and gave a gen.
.ral view of the city.
As he led US to the Forum il was
great satisfaction and an inspira.
ion TO have a teacher who would
,oiut TO the very spot where stood
the golden milestone" toward
which all roads led and from which
u distances in the Roman empire
vere measured. He showed where
he splendid temple of Jupiter
toop and up the street where the
amous professions of victorious
GENERALS marched their legions.
Mr.. Perkins then brought for
rard magnificent photograph of
he most important part of ancient
rome, from which he pointed out
ach building and furnished the
lass with valuable information;
ast but not least came photograph
c views of many distinguished
men of the empire. They were
arge and costley portraits, that
ave better idea of those ancient
nen aud women than any reading.
When the class looked at Julius

GOOD SENSE.

PR. EDITOR: In this year of gen.
eral prosperity why would II not be
in order TO put Baxter ia line with
the balance of the country? II
seems to me we have been craw-
fishing long enough. I am in favor
of a new deal all around. With u
live, wide.awske city council and
school board we could In one year
regain all we have lost. We need
men who will work for the city az
we'll as for themselves. In the past
eight years We have hardly had an
enterprising man 10 our city gov.
eminent. The only advance that
has been made has been made in
taxes. The only ones who have
been benefited have been the mu.
nicipal officers. A good many OF
us are getting tired and we would
like to try another policy.
l know we can make wonderful
progress in this present year of
universal prosperity If we can only
elect city officers in sympaty with
those who are friends of progress.
We need men who can afford to de.
vote some of their time to city af-
fairs, and who are willing to work
without pay. We need men or
women who are identified with the
growth of the city and will build
up aud not tear down. We need
men who will relieve US of some of
our burdens and not add to them.
We need men who will take an in
terest in public affairs without pay.
Let us for once drop private ami
mosities and politics and select the
best ia town for officers. The finau.
ciai condition of the country just.
fees the building OF railroads and
by: working with Joplin, Chetopa
and Galena we can secure the Mis-
souri Pacific and perhaps the
Frisco. Our town 10 too small to
keep up a petty sectional fight.
Let US all join hands for Baxter
Springs and never let up till we
get another railroad. Vote for no
more moss-back stoughten bottles,
but for men of enterprise, progress
and prosperity.

DEMANDS AN OPEN DOOR.

Washington. Nov. 1.-The attention
Of Europe has been centered upon the
attitude assumed by the United States
in announcing its intention to enforce
the open door" policy in China.
France, Germany and Russia are re-
luctant about making a written decla-
ration that American rights will not
be threatened in any treaty ports. but
suggest that the United States consent
TO partition of China into spheres OF
influence" one sphere to belong to the
United States. and each power then to
be free to do as IL pleases in its own
sphere.
This proposal will not be accepted,
for the open door will give the United
States all the advantages of trade de-
sired and 1t will not be confined to any
particular sphere of influence, and It is
not the desire of this Government to
expand into China and to assume re-
sponsbllities for territorial possessions
In that empire.
