DEMANDS OF THE OCTOPUS
Kansas city Star.

If the "standpatters' should demand Of
congress an act requiring the Panama
canal commission to purchase materials
for the construction Of the canal in Ameri-
can markets and carry them on American
bottoms, what would congress do? Ac-
cession to such demand would be a
plain, bald delivery Of the Panama COM
mission into the hands Of the trust. It
would be an unequivocal appropriation Of
public money for the payment OF the high
est prices when the lowest prices are
available.

Those were busy and picturesque days
on the trails running northward thru
western Kansas and on into the Dakotas
and Montana. 1t Is well that they have
been made the subject of such books as
those of Mr.. Adams, faithful descriptions
as they are, of the great drives following
the close of the civil war, when Texas
cattle raisers sought an outlet for their
multiplying herds. In the book in hand
that interesting cowpuncher, Tom Quirk.
in the employ of Don Lowell, has charge
of IAN exciting drive from Texas to Fort
Buford, on government beef contract,
the account of which reads more like a
novel than an account of daily work.
There Is more action and less minute de-
scription of DETAIL so that it is even more
entertaining than 1.-THE Log of a Cow
boy,' while just as cfrcumstantial and
vera cious in it's picture of the drive. Any
one who loves men with the bark on will
enjoy reading Mr.. Adams descriptions of
the tricks of the trade, the loyalty of man
to man, and the good fighting qualities
which are pitted against treachery and
sharp practices in this life on the plains
The spirited illustrations by Mr.. E. Boyd
Smith are as successful as those in the
two previous books by Mr.. Adams.

The opening week Of the summer sea-
son at the Lyceum has been a notable
one in many respects. The beautiful pro-
duction Of francesca da Rimin1" which
the management promise will be a
standard for the summer, is one Of un-
usual excellence, and the personnel Of the

Boutell block last winter as his subject.
The regular weekly feature Of an ANA
teur program is scheduled for tonight.
Among the volunteers will be mando-
lin club of twenty-five pieces.
But three more opportunities are left
local theater-goers to witness the many
thrilling scenes and sensational Gil
makes introduced in "Nettie the News

Saturday afternoon and evening will not
only close the engagement OF this play at
