Leavenworth once had an
opportunity to be the great
commercial center of the
vest. Many railroads were
headed her way but she turn.
ed a deaf ear and locked the
door behind her. Kansas
City took advantage of the
blunder and offered the in.
ducements and got the roads.
Now what is Leavenworth
compared with Kansas City?
There is a lesson in this which
every voter of Barber county
can study with profit at this
time.

Revision of the tariff at the
hands of a republican con.
gress is just about as hopeful
as reform in Kansas at the
hands of an administration
elected by reason of a Hoch-
Kelly.Stubbs-Lelandc combine.
When oil and water mix and
when Satan and Christ EN-.
brace one another, then can
we expect tariff revision and
reform at the hands of the
republican party.

argument that the railroad

The Portsmouth deal is
summed up as a moral victory
for Japan, and a diplomatic
victory for Russia, so that
honors are equally divided.
But no matter about that; the
greatest cause for rejoicing
is the fact that it ends the
slaughter of thousands of
human beings on both sides
who must do the fighting
and have no voice in govern
mental affairs.
