1t was shown that the charter of the

In 1895; since then it has been legally
non-existent.
It was decided to get on safe basis
before the election of officers, and as
the exchange is neither benevo lent, So

as an educational Institution it is In

If am shot by Filipino bullet, il
Rht as well come from one OF my
d men, because 1 know from obser-
ions confirmed by captured
soners that the continuance OF
ting is chiefly due to reports that
sent out from America"
hese words were written,.in Nov
per by General Henry W. Lawtop
few days ago, was shot by a
pino bullet. The sd thin perialists,
ealled, who have tried so long to
.ss General Lawton as one who op-
BED the prosecution of the war have
fied to use the words as implying
that the brave soldier disapproved of
The course of the government: but, as
urther quotation from Gen. Lawton g
ketter would weaken their case, they
employ only the lines above. Gen.
Lawton further wrote, in the same let
ter:
81 would to God that the truth of
this whole Philippine situation could
be known by every one in America as
1 know it. If the real history, inspira-
ton and condition of this insurrection,
and the influence, local and external,
that now encourage the enemy, as well
as the actual possibilities of these is
lands and peoples and their relations to
this great east, could be understood at
home, we would hear no more talk of
unjust shooting of government into
the Filipipos, or of hauling down our
flag in the Philippines. If she so
called Snti-imperialists would honestly
ascertain the truth on the ground and
not in distant America, they, whom L
believe to be honest men, mis-
error of their statements and conclu-
sious and of the unfortunate effect of
their publication here.'
Such was the opinion of Lawton as
he wrote it in November to Hon. John
Barrett. formerly United States min
lister to Siam, and as the latter read it
at the dinner OF the New England
society in New York a few nights ago.
The letter is document that has
attracted wide attention. Even from
his grave" says the New York Sun,
"Lawton serves his country. His let
ter shells the American Mestizoes from
their last position. Henceforth they
must run and skulk like Aguinsldo."

FORTY delegates from the CONNER
cial clubs of Omaha, ST. Joseph, Atohi-
son and Kansas City met in executive
session in Kansas City last week to for
mally protest against the proposed in
crease.of freight rates. The delegates
were selected from the transportati On
committees of the various clubs and
one purpose of the meeting was union
of the Missouri river cities in perma-
nent organization for mutual protec-
ton. The chairman of the Kansas
City transportation bureau made the
opening address. He said the princi
pal complaint against she increase in
freight rates in the proposed classifi-
cation was.that the widening of the
differ ence In carload and less than car
load ratings would result in loss of bus
mess to iall trade centers. He ex-
planned this by saying that the traffic
of all jobbing points was practically In
less than carload lots and the higher
the rate the greater the tendency to
restrict the trade area OF the jobbinR
centers. This has the effect OF driving
the country merchant to the nearest
market, thus depriving the jobbine
centers of the patronage that the rate;
now in force insure. Ell Paso is a:
much interested in the big question al

Wheelmen met and discussed the sub
lect OF good roads AT length. The sug-
gestion was made Of a state conyen-
lion TO secure uniform action ell over
The state. At such a convention IL was
stated that the manufacturers OF I'm
proved roadmaking machinery would
be present 10 show what could be DONE.
We believe Kansas Is ready 10 take
this subject up. A state convention
would result in bringing together an
enthusiastic body OF men who would
cooperate In securing legislation ana
adopting the most intelligent methods
for better roads. The value Of this
movement cannot be oyerestimated 70
