An advertisement now meets the
public eye in all directions. 1t is
"-s Whisky, That's All" The
fact is. however. it is not true to give
notice of any whisky and say that's
all" There is no line of business
that is so related to all others, in a
damaging way, as the liquor traffic.
Some years ago a noted editor said:
Men can start out on all different
lines of philanthropy or work Of re-
form. and no matter on what line they
start they will all meet around the
whisky barrel"
The drink evil seems to have a re-
lation to almost all the moral and
physical evils that affect humanity.
WAy should not all who love their
fellow men join in a crusade against
all use as beverage of a drink that
brings men to imbecility, insanity and
premature death?'
The other morning as Northwest
ern train came near Chicago it sud
denly stopped. When the passengers
alighted and went to the head of the
train they found the mangled body oi
man Near it was a whisky bottle
OF course. no one could say that its
contents led the man to deliberately
put himself in the way of destruction
after he had accepted the warnin2
whistle once and got off the track
but there seems to be.a natural con
nection between whisky and many
of such casualties.

Our Everpresent Lord

The thought that our Lord is with
use every moment OF our lives is
very precious one. What a miserable
lot would be ours If we could only
have access to Him on the Sabbath.
But thank God it is not so. He is
just as near us in the midst of our
humble daily toll as He is when we
are worshipping Him in the sanctuary.
1t is when we are veXed with the cares

faith and hope are two visions of the

TOPEKA SCENTS THE REBATE.
r D o c K, EDITo r.


Having entered the wilderness Of freight rate
row, Topeka now believes she scents the rebate.
Topeka has much to learn about the rebate 1t
has suspicion now that it may be opiate. The
Topeka Herald in doubleleaded warning remarks:
Topeka should not be sidetracked in its deter
mination for fair freight rates by promises of con-
cessons here and there to individuals That is not
what is needed. It is such a schedule Of rates as
will permit Topeka TO have fair show to maintain
itself against the competition Of Kansas City whe
all other circumstances will permit it to do There
IS no use to depend upon getting things by keeping
quiet any longer The plan has been tried and re-
suited in the whole movement being put to sleep.
The suggestion Of a transportation bureau seems
TO the Herald to be very good one and it is hard
TO see how it can accomplish any harm if it does
not result in much good"
This reminds the Eagle of a story, and good
story, too. There was once a secretary of trans
portation bureau. He was employed at a good sal
ary He was strenuous conscientious and all that
He took off his coat and went to work a single
schedule to correct glaring discrimination And
after prodigious correspondence with the traffic
Of various lines and controversy that extended
over six months he finally secured big reduction

panied and puzzled. He had produced enthus
asm whatsoever A calm of dead indifference char
acterized those he had benefited. And without
plantations the meeting solemnly adjourned. One
of the audience of kind heart, took the secretary
aside and informed him that for over year every
man in the crowd had been securing an inside rate
on the item in hand, far below the concession the
traffic men had granted the secretary.
If Topeka has real live case Of rebate he
hands she will discover that it is an opiate. If It
once gets thoroughly into her system, Topeka as a
whole will be confronted later with the argument
that an open rate being impossible, rebate is
better than nothing
And the editor of the Herald having convinced
himself that open fair tariff makes a city, and
discrimination breaks it, and that the whole city
and every citizen in are vitality concerned in rates.
will some day. perhaps, be informed that he is not
shipper and is butting in on matter that is none

And there are other features to the rebate system
which Topeka if she overcomes sleep induced by the
narcotic will later meet

THE WHITMAN STORY.

Professor William L. Marshall of Chicago is a
man with a mission, which is to prove that Dr.
Marcus Whitman did not Oregon and the North
west Territory to the United States. For more than
twenty years Professor Marshall has interested him
self in the Whitman controversy. and he has now
decided to write book about it. His idea is that
long before the missionary reached the East leaders
of thought and action had declared in favor Of hold
ing Oregon, and that whatever Whitman did, it
complished nothing for the Northwest which would
not have been accomplished without him. Some
time ago Professor Marshall prepared a paper on
the subject and submitted it to the late John Fiske
who replied as follows:
Il have read the greater part of your manuscripts

pletely proved your You have entirely de-
molshed the Whitman delusion, and by doing
