MORE MISSOURI PAC. TRAINS
RnmOr of Better Service Makes lola
Dream Pleasant
Dreams

A recent issue of the Ft. Scott Tri-
bune contained the following short
but momentous item:
There is talk of a new train on the Mis-
souri, Pacific between here and Wichita or
between here and Yates Center. The line
from Yates Center east has but one train
day, except the local train between lola
and LaHarpe. It is said by some railroad
men that a train out of here west in the
evening and back IN the morning would
pay.
Yes, indeedy, that would be well
come innovation. At present there
are four trains daily, passenger
train going west at 8:42 a. M, and a
freight going west at 1l:05 q. ln., u
freight going east at 8 p. M, and a
passenger at $3.50 p. IN. IL Will thus
be seen that the two west trains go
in the morning and the two east
trains in the evening. A train west
in the evening and one east in the
morning would greatly improve the
service, facilitate communication all
along the line, and make it possible
for people west of lola to come here
in the morning, spend the day and
return home at night, privilege
which those east of town now enjoy
and which would be welcomed
heartily.
The REGISTER and lola hope that
the new train will become reality
1t has been dream long enough.

PUT ICE ON HIS HEAD.

Somebody ought to put ice on the
head OF the editor of the Philadelphia
Times. He is greatly concerned lest
President Mckinley will hurt his Presi-
Dental chances by not calling an extra
session of Congress.
What could Congress do more than
the President has done? AS Executive
of the nation, it is his duty to use the
means Congress has put at his disposal
to protect the lives and property of citi-
zens OF the United States. This he has
done. WHAT more could he do until
more definite information is received?
Yes-he ought to have taken counsel
with the editor of the Tilnes-who
knows all about the matter. "The last
place for President to hear the truth
is in the White House," says the editor
OF the Times. kilograms from all
sources ia G hina are there received by
the President. These are to be dis
carded, and the truth is to be sought
from the Times.

heirs of Charles Durkee, formerly gov
ernor of Utah, against the United States
for certain bonds of the Central Pacific
Railroad company, valued at 1854 ,643, BIZ
has been dismissed by Judge Hagner OF
the District supreme court, and the appli-
cation for a rule against Secretary of the
Treasury Gage to compel delivery of
them to the claimants was denied. Judge
Hagner said the decision was based on
many grounds, an important one of which
was that Leonard Blaisdell, complainant
as attorney in fact for the attorneys al
law in the case, was not the proper per.
son to bring suit. He intimated that the
suit should have been brought by the ad

against the world. The other Powers,
Great Britain, Germany, the United
States and France, will be content to
look after their own interests, and none
of them is likely to declare war unless
forced to do SO. Germany's interests
lie in Shantung, and there are no signs
that her military operations will extend
beyond that province, now that Tientsin

Great Britain is concentrating men
and ships at Shanghai and Woo-Sung to
protect her commercial assets in Middle
China. France is interested in Southern
China, and the United States are con-

Some have grimiy sail that, IS var eX-
lists, il does not much matter who de-
claied il, and that Russia knows how 70
defend herself. There is method in the
reluctance OF the Powers to declare war,
as there is method in the unwillingness
of the Chinese Government to give out
the truth concerning events in Pekin, or
to confess sympathy with the movement
against foreigners, which is spreading
like wild fire over the Empire. Each
side-the Chinese and the Allies-is
straining for time to perfect military
preparations, and, since China can have
but hazy idea of what is going on out
side her borders, the advantage is with
the Allies. The cable systems are in
their hands, and, if they cannot match
the Chinese in numbers of fighting men,
the troops, landed by them, or marche d
through Manchuria, will be greatly gu.
perior in equipment, discipline and train
ing in the art of war. If it be doubted
whether the Allies shall be able to act in
concert, what of the inability of the
Chinese to put homogeneous army in
the field? 1t does not seem to be case
where victory should rest wi the
heaviest battalions.
Ii Russia should declare war against
China, what effect would it have on the
general situation? On to "Pekinr' would
be the cry in St. Petersburg, and as soon
as men and munitions could be collected
the invasion of Manchuria would begin.
Thus Russia would be carrying out the
policy on which, notwithstanding the
fictions Of her foreign ohlee, she has been
bent for some time. A declaration of
war by Japan might be expected to fol-
low on TIE heels OF the declaration by.
Russia. 1t is not conceivable that the
Mikado would let the Car steal march
on him
If Russia wants to exercise unqualified
sovereignty in MaEchuria, Japan's de-
signs on Formosa are avowed and her
need OF territory ls lncomp4r4bly greater.
Whether Russia and Japan warred on
China individually or jointly would not
matter in the fina settlement; Formosa
would be awarded to Japan for her
Services to civi ization. The diff
ficulty would arise in settling the
claims of Russia-if she we're disposed to
permit any arbitration Of them. But it is
clear that as events are turning out, Rus
sia and Japan will be the chief factors in
the restoration of peace in China or the
