TIE KANSAS PEOPLE ARE IN

A great number OF delegates have
been influenced through the agency
Of Mr.. j. s. Crawford, the Canadian
Government representative at Kan

whether from Missouri or Kansas the
story is always the same-they are

from Didsbury, Alberta, as follows:
II met three delegates from Kan
sas yesterday at Didsbury. and took
them home with me and took
them out in the afternoon and
showed them some of the fin
est land that lays on top Of
Gods green earth. They are more
than pleased with this country. They
stayed with me last night, this norm
ing I took them to D%idsbury. and
they went on North. When they
come back they are coming TO my
place and l nm going to help them 10
run some lines and they are going to

have been over 1900 acres Of land

here the better we like the country,
that Is the way with everybody here,
they all seem to be satisfied and do.

many men here and they told me that
they had less than $50 when they got

TLo Isthmlan Canal.

1t Is evident that the transportation
lines are opposed to the construction
Of any isthmlan canal, and 1t Is fair
to assume that they are behind the Pan
ANA route, not because they prefer
that route, but for the reason that agl-
tation in Its behalf gives the best
promise for the most delay. It Is sig
nlhcant that the offer OF the Panama
canal stockholders was not made until
1t seemed certain that the Nicaraguan
route would be adopted by the lower
house Of congress. Having considered
theO points In favor Of the Panama
route, the canal commission, that re-
Gently made It's report, approved the
Nlcaraguan route. 1t seems that those
who have been most earnest in advo-
eating the construction OF canal are
practically unanimous in favor Of the
Nicaraguan route, while the present
advocates of the Panama canal are
largely made up Of those who have
been opposed to any canal at all. 1t Is
to be hoped that the Nicaraguan bill
will be pushed through the senate at
an early day. The American people are
very generally in favor of an isthmlan
canal and the Nicaraguan plan offers
the best method Of prompt realiza-
tion Of very popular plan.

THE TRUTH AT LAST
REPUBLICAN, NEWSPAPER TALKS
TOO OPENLY ON THE TARIFF.


The New York Press, Republican
enters vigorous protest against the
proposition that the tariff duties on
Cuban sugar bo reduced. The Press
says
III the American people on sentl-
mental grounds think they ought to
give Cuba SiOOOO,OO0 this year or every
year, let them go down into the pock-
cts of all the American people for the
glft and not into the pockets OF few
Interests selected for prescription and
spoliation II Gov, Wood or President
Roosevelt or anybody else wants Santa
Claus to STUFF forty millions into Cuba's
Christmas stocking, why In the name OF
American Industries and American de-
cency should the forty millions bo
illched from two or three stockings In
the flreplaces OF American homes?
Why not from all?"
Republican papers have all along
told us that the foreigner pays the tax
and that high protective tariff Is to
the interest Of the American people,
rather than OF special benefit TO any
one concern. This being true then the
abolition Of all tariff on Cuban sugar
would be equivalent to going down
into the pockets Of all the American
people for the gift"
II, however, the Press Is justified in
saying that by the abolition or reduc-
tlon of the tariff on Cuban sugar S4O,-
100000 would be llched from two or
three stockings In the iireplaces of
American homes" then the question
naturally arises, how does II happen
that the Republican party has persist
entity advocated tariff policy that
would place SiO,OOOOOO In two or
three Of the stockings in the ilreplacos
Of American homes?"
And If tariff on sugar would mean
$iO,OOO,0OO for two or three stockings
In the ilreplaces Of American homes"
does not this fact raise the suspicion
that, after all, the American people,
rather than the foreigner, have been
paying the tax?
Whence comes this S4O,OOO,0OO that
will be illched from two or three
stockings in the nreplaces of American
homes?"
Is 1t paid by the foreign producers
Of sugar to the American manufacturer
Or does It represent the amount
'filched" by the proprletors Of the two
or three stockings in the freplaces of
American "alched" from the
great mass Of American sugar consum-
RS, and "alched" by reason of the Re-
publican tariff laws?-The Commoner.

crops Of oats and barley. After spend.

try north to Lumsden and Balgonie,
where the crops appeared very prom.
Using and heavy; continuing up the
Regina and Long Lake road they came
to Saskatoon on the crossing of the
South Saskatchewan River. OF this
district they say:
"The country here pleased us better
than any we have seen. We drove out
eighteen miles in a northwesterly di'
rection through the Smith settlement.
This Is wonderful district; the
growth was splendid; all kinds OF
grains and roots were perfection. The
older settlers had good buildings of
all kinds and looked very prosperous;
in fact we came to the conclusion that
we had found what we were looking
for, good country While the nature
Of the soil changes and is in some
parts light, in others stony and again
heavy, generally speaking 1t leaves
nothing to be desired. Hay and, water
are also in abundance and wood can
be found along the river slopes and
islands. We have decided to locate
there and shall certainly advise our
friends to do likewise. We also trust
that this report may have the effect Of
drawing the attention of land seekers
to this district, and can honestly ad.
wise all such to locate there. They
will find q good thing. AS farmers
ourselves, from a good district In
Michigan, we have come to the con.
cluslon that, properly farmed, western
Canada will grow almost anything"

Poor Use for PuhlIc Money.

A few Missionaries are still pleading
for national endowed theater in this
country, to be established within a few
years. No institution Of this kind is
in the least likely to be founded in
the United States in this generation.
The Yankee is in the main a hard
headed, shrewd practical man. What
dramatic art he considers worth sup
porting he will support individually,
but he will surely not consent to be
taxed for the maintenance Of any play
house as an appanage Of the entire
body polite, not at least until he suf-
fers a race change into something new

and independent for that.

Nothing is palmer than that the Re-

all the ancient landmarks held sacred
by its founders. No one can conceive
of a doubt being entertained by Abra-

equal rights, nor as to the possibility
of one mans governing another with
out his consent. But those who now
proclaim these truths are sneered at

Much has been said and written
about regulating trusts BY law, and
there are said to be laws sufficient to
control the trusts provided the laws
are enforced, However this may DO
trusts seem to thrive on law and It be-
gins to appear that they are more like
ly to control laws than laws are to con-
troll trusts, Take the tariff protection
for instance; that kind of law Is as
good for trust as corn Is for a lean
hog.
