NE On. REFTNERY.

The senate by the overwhelming
vote of 20 to this morning passed a
measure providing for a real refinery.
The bill will now go to the house,
where there is also a very large sem
timent for similar measure
The senate has shown that it is
thoroughly in earnest in combating
the Standard Oil company with some
thing more than a toy air gun. If the
state means to do anything to free
itself from this greatest of monopolies
it is apparent that it must follow the
line marked out by the senate. 1t is
easy for the governor to say take
that monster, the Standard Oil COM
pany, by the throat and compel it to
be decent" but it is futile for the
same governor a few days later to
say, Il figure that it would perhaps
be wise for the state to spend $4,000
or $4,000 on an experimental plant"
You cannot throttle any monsters
with infant hands, or tie the tentacles
Of an octopus with spool cotton.
There is no use in throwing a feather
pillow at the hard head of the oil mag
nate. There must be a big stick and a
big appropriation. Any effective hit
ting must be hard hitting.
Standard Oil would smile at a s25.-
600 experimental refinery" It will also
smile at the effort of Kansas to be serI-
Gus in a limitation of freight rates he
tween the oil fields of the state and
the rehneries of Indiana and Missouri.
If Kansas is going into the refinery
business, and that seems to be the only
way out, she should 60 in earnest. kan
sas should blaze the way for other
states to prevent piracy.
Did you ever think that a half mill
lion dollar refinery would mean but
thirty cents for each inhabitant of
Kansas? Isn't the investment worth
while?
What is the experiment?
Not to- get raw material. The crude
oil is here in great quantities.
Not can oil be refined in the state.
That is now done.
These are settled.
The real experiment is: VIII the
state let practical men, not politicians,
run a. refinery when we get one? As
this movement is one by practical por-
ducers of oil and constant consumers
of it. politicians will not be permitted
o defeat the purpose.

WANTS IT STRONGER.
Roosevelt Would Like Private Car
Lines Included in Legislation.

Washington Feb. 8.-While President
Roosevelt approves of the Esch-Towns-
end railroad freight bill pending before
the house of representatives it is under
stood today that he would like to have
incorporated in it stronger provisions
relating to private car lines. Represen-
tative Babcock (Wis.) had a talk with
the president today about the pending
legislation. He holds the same views
regarding private car lines as the presi-
dent. They discussed the bill for some
time. Senator McCoTuas (AId.) also talk
ed with the president about the pending
railroad legislation. The president is
endeavoring to bring about action in
the senate at this session on the rate
question. hoping the senate may take
up the Esch- Townsend measure when
the bill reaches it.

De-. Blaine,s announcement.

BY the numerous requests of friends
business men and tax payers of the
Third ward of Topeka, / have been
urged for some weeks past to allow
myself to become a candidate for
councilman of said ward, subject to the
coming primary.
My idea is that a representative of
the Third ward of Topeka, with its
growing interests has much RESPONSE
bility. The territory is extensive, rep
resenting a vast amount of taxable
property, and a healthy population.
Many new houses are being b.. new
streets and walks constantly on ---e in
crease, grading and paving progress
ing, also the Improvements of parks
and lawns; 100000 expended last
year in Topeka building, and many
new permits taken out for the pres
ent year; also something like 100000
to be expended in the next year and a
half for public improvements; the
probability of an electric line to Coun-
Gil Grove the building of the Union
Pacific to Marysvilie, and double
track to Kansas City; the piping of
natural gas for manufacturing and do
mestic use: already over 800 manu-
featuring concerns with an annual out
put of over $16,000.000; Il possible
chance to secure a connection with
the Kansas City, Mexico & Orient rail-
Ali this is evidence that Topeka is
the metropolis of this state and should
increase its population quickly to
$4,000.
II am elected councilman from the
Third ward, I assure you that it Will
be a pleasure for me to work early

warrant I have plenty of business of
my own for which I am being well
rewarded; but I will gracefully divide
my time for the interests of this city
because I like it as my home, and like
its modest inhabitants.
I am in favor of clean, honest gov

The unusal amount of gold shipped
from New York to Argentine recently
is explained by the Minneapolis TrI-
bune as follows: I'VE are sending gold
to Argentine to pay for wheat they sold
to England. We sell more merchan-
disc to Argentine than we buy of her
and Americans do not invest much in
that country Ordinarily there would
be a balance in our favor. which would
be settled with gold through London.
But We have not been able to sell
much wheat to England this year and
have less than our usual credit there
On the contrary, England has bought
$4,000 900 more wheat in Argentine
than last year and $40, O00, 600 more than
the year before. Having credit with
this country for goods sold and not
balanced by wheat exports, London
calls on us to pay her debt to Argen-
tine. 1t is an interesting illustration Of
indirect payment through an internal
tional clearing house

PROHIBITION THAT PROHIBITS

PROHIBITION THAT PROHIBITS
The Gallinger prohibitory amendment
to the statehood bill appears to be
based on an assumption that the wav
to prohibit the liquor traffic is to pro-
hibit. There are no excepted purposes
for which liquor may be sold as in the
Kansas law and therefore there is no
awarding of a monopoly of the business
to a certain class of merchants.
The text of the amendment which an
plies to the entire state of Oklahoma
is as follows:
1.-THE manufacture. sale, barter. or
giving away Of intoxicating LIQUORS
within this state is hereby prohibited
for a period of p years after the date
of admission of this state into the I'm

who shall manufacture, sell, barter or
