The First American Book,

1t is a remarkable fact that in a year
after the first printing press was estab-
lished in Cambridge, Mass. or in 1910.
an American book was issued from it
(being the first published in what are
now the United States. which was
soon after reprinted in England. where
it passed through no less than eighteen
editions. the last being issued in 1854,
thus maintaining a hold on English
popularity for III years. This was
the Bay Psalm Book 1t passed
through twenty-five editions in Scot
land, where it was extensively known,
the last bearing date 1859, and as it
was reprinted without the compiler en-
joying %pecuniary benefit from its sale
we have irrefutable proof that Eng
land pirated the first American book,
being in reality the original aggressor
in this line. This first American work
enjoyed a more lasting reputation and
had a wider circulation than any vol
ume since of American origin, having
passed in all through seventy editions,
a very remarkable number for the age
in which it fiourished.

UNIONS NOT A BAR
To Man Securing Employment ir
This State

A. c. Husey has introduced bill in the
legislature making it unlawful for an
employer TO make it a condition when he
employs a man that the employee shall
not be affiliated with q labor organiza-
ton. This bill has been reported favor
ably in the house committee of the
whole and viii become a law.
The bill grew out of the carpenters
strike here last summer and was intro
duced by Mr.. Husey at the solicitation of
the labor unions of this city. and the
Wichita labor men have done considera-
bic work to seucre its passage. They
were assisted by the labor organizations
from other parts of the state, but il was
the Wichita unions who first conceived
the idea and have been instrumental in
getting it before the legislature and fur
nishing the facts TO secure its passage.
During the carpenters strike here last
summer the final settlement was prolong-
co for some weeks because some of the
contractors refused to recognize the
unions and some of the contractors never
did agree to recognize the union or pay
the union scale. Some even went so far
rs to make it a condition of their en-
ployment of carpenters and other labor
ers that the employee should not be affili-
ated in any way with an organization of
laOoring men.
The strike was finally settled by most
Of the contractors agreeing 70 pay the
union scale, and a part Of them agreed
10 employ none but union men. while
others viii employ union or non-union
men but pay the union scale, and a few
viii not employ union men at all
The law was introduced for the pur-
pose of breaking up the prejudice which
seems to exist in The minds of some per-
sons against the unions. If the bill be-
canes law, no contractor can ask his
men whether they belong to a union or
not. and If they do. refuse employment
10 them for that account alone. 1t is not
obligatory on a contractor to employ
uLion men. but if a man is working he
cannot be discharged simply because he
is affiliated with a union

GAS FLOWS FROM
WINFIELD WELL
Amount Shown Is 5l9,871
Cubic Feet Per Day.
UNDERNORMAL CONDITION
Three Months Spent Since Gas
Was First Found.
UNDERNORMAL CONDITION

The Winfield gas well has been tested
| and found to flow over 100000
cubic feet of gas per day and If after a
ten days test If showing flow Of this
| amount for that length OF time, it viii
be accepted. The Winfield Courier says:
Erasmus Haworth OF the Lawrence
university, state geolosist. arrived in the
city this morning, and in company with
Mayor Cation and nine councilRlel went
to the gas well and tested il There
were about 100 other people present, all
eager TO get the first news of the capacity
OF the well. which has been the one topic
of conversation since its discovery on
November IL
After making two tests, Mr. Haworth
retired TO the St James Hotel and figured
out the following flows:
When the gas was first turned on and
allowed to flow through a two-inch pipe
the well showed a flow OIL 3659. $50 cubic
feet daily capacity; when allowed to es-
cape few minutes and to become nor
NAL. 5l9,Sn cubic feet.
The above would indicate that the
flow is up to the concentrated capacity
10000 cubic feet and that the city will
take the well for $4,000 Mr. Mr..
Haworth seems TO be an experienced man
on all geological questions. and his test
of the gas well this morning is satisfac-
tory to all parties concerned
Mr.. Haworth did not take the rock
pressure of the we'll 1t is believed that
this we'll will be found to be very great"
After three months of work, with acct
dents galore, the well has finally received
its final test. The gas sand was first
opened on November IL A few days after
this. the drill went into the gas sand a
few inches and the machinery was thrown
out OF the well. Casing was put in and
then something happened to the tools
This was repaired and a few days more
something happened again. Then the well
was abandoned and a new one started
and put down one thousand feet and no
gas. and the drillers. Rage & Co., aban-
doned this one and procured machinery
to remove the casing from the old well
and also pull the tools out and after
weeks of labor, and at cost of $1,000
the well has received its first official test
and comes up to the requirements.

SUN WILL SHINE TODAY.
Weather Nan Puts Out Some Nice
Weather NOWADAYS.

Isn't the weather man about the finest
fellow III this neck CT the woods And
isn't this the finest weather that could
happen? 1t would be well for the peo-
PIE to look a little out, because this kind
of weather brings on spring fever and
that is disastrous to business and love
affairs.
The weather man has been trying to
atone for some Of his misdeeds of a week
ago. He sent a roaring storm for last
Sunday but the day before he went TO
the show and a few days before that
three dozen Wichita school teachers Wis
tied him, and without doubt there is no
man in the country who could resist a
Wichita school marin in her plea for
good weather. The weather man had
already scheduled the storm and could
not stop it. but he is making up for lost
time now.
The good people Of Wichita should get
out their. overshoes and prepare to 90
to church this morning. There is abso-
lutely no reason why the churches should
not be we'll attended this morning except
for the mud, according to the weather
mans idea. Maybe he is in cahoots with
the ministers TO furnish some good
weather. The weather man announced
that he and the ground hog had little
spat a couple of days ago and he is just
going to show Mr.. Ground Hog that
he is not the only rooter and in spite OF
the ground hog. the sun will shine all day
and the temperature viii be high enough
to leave an overcoat at home during the
afternoon.
The highs are having things all their
own way nowadays. A low tried to
creep in Friday but was pushed off the
bank and the barometer readings are
away up in G in all parts Of the country
and with clear weather in all sections eX-
cept the western gulf coast. The predic-
ton last night was fair tonight and Sum
day; no decided change in temperature.

RELATIONS WITH PANAMA.

The sentiment expressed by Minister
Buchanan in presenting his creden-
tials in Panama on Christmas day, was
such as predominates in the minds of
the American people regarding the
new isthmian republic. Mr.. Buchanan
said in part:
The advent and future development
OF this new nation is the object of
keen and kindly interest on the part
of the people of the United States, all
of whom wish your country that wide
progress and advancement which
peace and economy brings to all ma
tions."
Il am charged by President Roose-
welt to express his fervent wish that
these benefits, shall come to the re-
public of Panama, and happiness and
contentment shall abide with your ex-
cellencies and your people"
Approaching the benefit of liberty,
individual and national, the people of
the United States are always ready to
give encouragement to people desir.
GUS of gaining their freedom and set
ting up for themselves a government.
Minister Buchanan's words in express
ing the wish that the greatest bene.
fit of freedom and the progress and
advancement which peace and econ
omy bring to all nations may be en-
