months since to break away from the
agreement into which all the roads had
been forced by Chicago and Kansas City
to send everything in the territory tribu,
tary to Kansas City through there and
that Kansas City merchants boycotted
the road and finally compelled it tc
submit. The railroads claim that Kan.
sas City compels them to make thi:
whole territory pay tribute to it by en-.
forcing such determinations in rates as
stated above on penalty of boycotting
any road that attempts to break away.

chant in this territory accept the state
ment of the roads as true and turn the
tables on Kansas City. Refuse to~buy

vert the business to other points. If the
roads are misrepresenting Kansas City
this course will bring out the truth.
The guilty party will be located, fairer
rate on wheat will be obtained and Sum-
ner county will be the gamer by one
half million dollars. This will be fol.
lowed up with further facts and sug.
gestions. United action should be taken
to put an end to this robbery. The col.
umns of the VOICE are open for further

The following are distances and rates
per bushel on wheat over the Santa Fe.
The Rock Island has practically the
same distance and the same rate:
Kansas City TO Wellington. 262 miles. SIC
wellington 20 Galveston, 7l0 miles, SIC
Kansas City to Galveston 952 miles, 9.9c
Chicago to Kansas tity, 45S lies, sic
1t will be noted that the rate from
Wellington to Galveston is the sum Of
the rates from Wellington to Kansas
City and Kansas City to Galveston, and
SIC per bushel more than the rate from
Kansas City to Galveston although the
distance is 242 miles less from yelling
ton than from Kansas City over the
Santa Fe and over 200 less over any
road travelled from Kansas City to Gal
weston than from Wellington to Gal
weston over the Santa Fe or Rock IS
land.
Much of the wheat shipped from this
county goes to Galveston, and all Of
it would if the rate was as it should be.
Although the full rate of 1850 is charged
the wheat never goes to Kansas City,
but is hauled direct to Galveston. The
railroads admit the injustice of this
rate and claim that they are powerless
in the matter. 1t will be remembered
that the C.B. .&Q.R.R., tried a few

begun it with the belief that it is possible
for every Sumner county farmer to get
at least ten cents more per bushel for
his wheat. We have other material

MachiaYellian.

The policy pursued by Mr., Mckinley
and his whole administration is the
startling counterpart of that suggested
by the lniquitous Italian, Nicaolo Ma
chiavelli, 400 years ago, to Lorenzo the
Magnificent, and practiced by the in
famous Borgias.
Like Mckinley, Machiavelli pretended
to be sincere republican and true
lover of liberty, but he was willing,
like Mckinley, to give up his cherished
republican form of government for the
splendor and glory of a one man power,
upheld by we'll trained national armies.
In "The Prince" his precepts incul-
Gated craft, cunning and perfdy and
success was his only badge Of honor.
Lord Macauley held him up as a
sanctifed philosopher and the English
statesmen to this day regard him as their
pattern of diplomacy.
Here are some Of his precepts, ap-
plicable to the Republican administra-
ton, and as like as two peas in pod:
"a prudent ruler cannot, nor ought
he to, keep faith when such fidelity shall
turn against him, and the reasons which
moved him to make his promises are
spent. We must recognize this,
that ruler, and especially new ruler
(one serving his first term), cannot OBJ
serve all those things which men deem
good; being often obliged, for the well
fare of the state, to act contrary to hui
manity, contrary to religion. And,
besides, he must have a mind really to
shift as the winds and eddies of fortune
bid; not to depart from good, if he can
help himself, but to know how to do
evil if he must. Therefore
ruler must take great care that no word
shall slip from his mouth that shall not
be full OF piety, trust, humanity and
simple faith; and he must appear, to
ear, all compact of these. Let a ruler,
then, make the state prosper and his
methods shall always be judged honor
able and be praised by all; because the
vulgar are always caught by appearance
and by the event; and in this world
there are none but the vulgar. A certain
ruler Of today-it is well not to name
names-proclaimS not but peace and
faith; had he observed either he would
have toppled the state and his own repu-
tatiou."

Over and over again the danger of
imperialism toward which we are now
rapidly drifting has been pointed out,
but never more clearly than by the great
Lincoln in the following:
"At what point shall we expect dan
ger! Shall we expect some trans-At-
lantic military giant to step the ocean and
crush us at a blow Never All the
armies Of Europe, Asia and Africa COM
bined, with all the treasures of the earth
our own accepted) in their military
chest with Bonaparte for a commander,
could not by force take drink from the
Ohio or make track on the Blue Ridge
in trial of thousand years. At what
point then is this approach of danger to
be expected l answer if it ever reach
us it must spring up amongst us. 1t can
not come from abroad. If destruction
be our lot, we must ourselves be its au-
thor and fnisher as a nation of freemen,
we must live through all time or die by
suicide"
Will these warnings be needed?

The number of railroad accidents in
the United States for the year ending
June 80, 1900, was 5I,743; the number
of persons killed was 1928. The North
Dakota wheat crop is half failure.
Mckinley is directly responsible for all
these things, and don't you forget it.
Any man who will calmly appropriate
the credit for a country's prosperity
must bear some responsibility for its dis
asters and reverses. See?-Verdict.
