our Interest in the Chamberlain Policy.

,o ;mportant policy relating to inter
notional trade can be adopted by any
nonntrv in the world without having
= more or less important influence ON
the prosperity of our people:
Many persons seem to think that
4bo rocent movement in England for
= protective system with its collateral
;ssncs of reciprocity in British colo
Mes has no direct bearing on Amerl-
non interests and industries.
more careful consideration OF
tho subject, however, will probably
iood TO the conclusion that we all
have a very material concern IN the
final decision of that question by our
cousins across the ocean. just what
that problem involves is a question
for the consideration of statesmen
and publicists, which they NAV lind
i exceedingly difficult to work out
" orr entire satisfaction.
Meantime. every citizen can, with
nroft to himself, study at least the
ontsidc aspects of the case, so that
when the time comes for action he
NAV be able to decide for himself be-
tween the different polices which will
doubtless at that time be outlined by
tbe political parties of this country.
A notable contribution to the con
sideration of this subject was made
a few weeks since by James j. Hill,
nresident of the Great Northern
Railroad. in a speech made by him
in Minneapolis. In that speech Mr..
Hill. who is a man of great intellect
nal power and wide business expert
ence, predicted that Chamberlain's
policy of a diferential tariff for Eng
land and her colonies will go into
effect sooner than expected. He then
called attention to some of the pos
sible effects of that policy in man
ner that has attracted much atten-
ton in transportation, financial ana
business circles throughout the East.
Mr.. Hill declared that uder such
fiscal arrangement wheat from Mani
toba would be admitted into the
British market at twelve cents
bushel less than our wheat and that
in ten years Manitoba would not
only raise all the wheat Great Britain
can consume, but surplus of from
20 to 30 millions of bushels a year.
That this possibility would not only
shut off from the American farmer
his best market, that of Great
Britain, but would precipitate 3d.
100000 bushel surplus in competition
with him in the other markets of the
world, was a startling suggestion
which has made many fnanciers do
some serious thinking.
Chamberlain has received little at
tention from American writer's ex-
cept as purely sensational and po-
itical phenomenon only worthy OF
our passing consideration, but this
utterance by Mr.. Hill has resulted
in directing thought and opinion to
Chamberlain's policy. 1t is, if Mr..
Hill is correct. certain that the sue
cess of that policy will mean revo-
luton in oUr industrial conditions.
That it may be a menace and
most serious one for this country
now begins to dawn upon those who
are responsible for the nations leg
Islation as well as those who are
largely interested in it's great fnan-
clal and transportation enterprises.
1t IS evident that these authorities
cannot too quickly give their un-
divided attention to the problem that
now confrOnts them.

The idea that an inferior class of
people patronize the tourist s1eepers is
an error. On many trips only the best
class of travellers are found. They are
merely men and women of good sense
who would rather travel to California
in this manner and save a snug sum
Of money to be used elsewhere. It is
beginning to be understood that it is
by no means necessary for the traveller
to spend a large sum of money in or
der to enjoy trip to the Pacific coast

f7ues in engines. This order the men
claimed was in violation of the agree
rnent between the company and the
brotherhood which provides that this
work shall be done by the boilernak-

Webb NcNan Talks of Troubles on
Central Branch.

Webb McNau. of Gaylord, is in
Topeka today. He says the work Of
reconstructing the Central Branch of
the Missouri Pacific is proceeding at
the rate OF about 40 rods a day.
1.-THE railroad people have difficulty
in keeping men at work." says Mr..
NfcNall. "They hire men to come out
there for S1.75 per day. and then
charge them $3.50 a week for board.
After the men have peen there a
while they find that the farmers will
pay them $3.50 per day and give them
their board besides. Consequently
they quit the railroad and go to work
for the farmers.
"They have now relaid about six
teen miles of track, and have 2 miles
still to be laid. A few days ago a
carload of the main officers of the
road came up there to inspect the
track. While their car was being
switched around it smashed down
one Of the old rusty rails and went
into the ditch"

football team left on a special car for
Denver, Colo. where they viii arrive
at noon today. Their car was at
tached to No. on the Santa Fe. The
party includes sixteen players, Coach
Outland and Manager Stahl.
A number of good men were left,
some of whom would doubtless have
been selected to go with the squad
but for the fact that they are suffering
with slight injuries ana would not be
in the best shape for work. Among
these are Ware, the big guard Hart
ze1, a tackle; Johnson, end; Snat-
finger. center; Munford, end; Book,
tackle.
In the game with the University of
Colorado at Boulder Saturday after
noon Washburn will have q chance
to redeem itself for its defeat by kan

feels confident that it can make a bet
