Wichita. Kas.. Aug. s.-The Eagle
says:
People living along the Englewood
branch of the Santa Fe do not like the
way the passenger trains are now be-
ing operated. Until last Monday peo-
pie living on this line could come to
Wichita, arriving here at 2 O'Clock in
the afternoon. and return to their
homes the next morning at 7:40- The
trains are now operated so that this
is impossible if they wish to transact
any business.
A. r. Meeker. of Norwich. who has
been engaged in business in Kingman
county for number of years, and has
until recently owned the telephone
company at his home town, was in
the city yesterday. In talking of the
new time card issued by the Santa
Fe last Saturday, mention of which
was made in the Eagle Sunday, he
said
Residents OF our community and
all along the Englewood branch do
not like the new passenger service on
that line. Service west is very salts
factory, but our train service into
Wichita is very poor. 1t takes the
best part of two days to come to
Wichita to transact any business. In
order not to take up too much time on
my trip here, had to drive to Cheney
this morning and then drive back to
Norwich after I get out there tonight.
This makes a trip to Wichita a
very unpleasant affair. With towns
further out on the line there is no way
to come to Wichita other than by the
Santa Fe. The train does not get
here until late al night and leaves
early in the morning. thus giving alb
solutely no time whatever for one to
do anything
THE old service was good. While
the time made was not what we
should like it to be. it was better than
what we now have.
Il understand that an effort will be
made by the people in every town on
the line to have the service changed.
At our town we have two evening
trains into Wichita, but none in the
middle of the day. understand that
the Missouri Pacific is contemplating
changing the service on its Larned
branch. running a train into Conway
with a Wichita connection. This would
fix US all right. but not the other
towns on the Englewood line.
No reason for athe changing of the
time card for the Englewood branch
has ever been given by the Santa Fe.
Local railway men do not know any
thing about the matter.

ENFORCE LETTER OF LAW.
Passenger Men Intend to Live Up to
Hepburn Law.

Hepburn Law.
Passenger officials of the various
roads are studying the new Hepburn
rate law with a good deal of interest.
They are DESTROYS of ascertaining how
it will affect their department in every
particular. Some of them think they
have discovered in it the entire abo-
lition of low rates and cheap excur-
sions of every kind. They claim that
under the terms of the new law it
Will be impracticable for the railways
to reduce rates for short trips and
special excursions, as IS now done.
These special rates might clearly be
brought within the provisions pro-
hibiting determinations Of any kind,
it is claimed.
Should this view obtain generally
among the roads. it is expected to
arouse a great deal of opposition on
the part of the public. Many people
in all sections of the country never go
any distance from home except under
the incentive of lOw-rate excursions,
and they Will be debarred practically
from travelling at all If this strict in
depreciation is to be placed upon the
act universally.
Just at present the roads mean to
obey the law to the letter irrespec-
tive of what the consequences may
be. They are determined to give a
practical demonstration of the work
ings of the law, so that everybody may
see what the results of its enforcement
are to be. There are to be no at
tempts at evasion in any direction.

Celestials from two states were pres

The local members have been busy
for several months preparing for the
ceremonies and the big banquet and

1T is TIME TO ACT.

Every one interested in the CONNER
cial welfare of Walla Walla and the
Inland Empire should be present at
the meeting of the Walla Walla COM
mercial club tomorrow night, when the
subject of the portage railway and the
open river enterprise will be taken mp.
1t is positively necessary that some
thing be done and it is to Walla Walla
that the Washington shippers and the
beneficiaries of the transportation en-
terprise look for initiative support,
The delegation sent from the Com
mercial club to the meeting OF the
portage railway commission and the
Open River association have returned,
after accomplishing much. The report
of what was done will be made per-
sonally to the club tomorrow night.
That delegation did good work. Even
in Portland. papers the Walla Walra
men are credited with bringing about
a reconsideration of the determination
of the portage commission to turn over
the road to the association. This re-
consideration was based largely upon
the assurances given that the state of
Washington would join in making an
nels.
To bring about this appropriation
and to have it's recommendation en-
bodied in the message Of the governor,
is the task set for Walla Wa!Ia and
associated clubs. Action may not be
deferred as it is but a short time until
the legislatures in both states will
meet and the members should be
pledged to. work for the passage Of the
bill.
Once successful in opening up the
through river transportation, the asso-
cations work will benefit every shipper
and merchant in the Inland Empire.
directly or indirectly. Railroad
freight rates must be lowered to meet
the competition and this will be the
reward to those whose location is not
so convenient to the water ways.
No more important matter has come
before the Commercial club than the
preservation of the portage railway
and the open river route. For this
attend the meeting tomorrow night
and give aid to those who are working
for the good of the whole.

CAMPAIGNS OF EDUCATION

The educational value of great
campaign is something for which the
American people ought to be grateful.
The vituperative campaigns of ante
war times, though they exceeded in
personal feeling anything we have mad
since the war, yet educated and in
formed the people on the great ISSUE
Most of the speeches which were de-
livered in those days have persisted and
probably deservedly so. They served
their local and contemporary purpose
and were gone. But occasionally adj
dresses were delivered then as now
which made their way into literature.
The Lincoln-Douglas debate was Of
that character and We have had some
speeches in later days which, while
they did not rank with these in in
tensity of interest have set even a
higher literary standard.
The Characteristic of our politics to-
day is independence Of thought and
temperance Of expression, says the
Minneapolis Journal
The demagog who tries by tricks Of
speech or tricks of platform to reach
the voters fails. A type of the kind
of meeting which more truly expresses
the politics of today when the old time
fustian and "hot air" was that held
last night in the Auditorium. If it did
not do anything else it taught the
members Of different parties to respect
one another and it taught the audience
that the best and broadcast basis of a.
party is citizenship. 1t also showed
that in many respects We are fighting
shadows when we shy at our fellow
citizens who happen to belong to an
other party from ourselves. When we
come together the shadows largely are
conquered by the light of reason.
So the tendency Of such meetings is
to broaden. deepen and improve Amer
icanism.
The spirit of give and take, which is
an Anglo-Saxon trait, to which we
are entitled by inheritance, has sunk
its roots deep in American soil. It is
one of the necessary safeguards of
democratic institutions. Without it we
should not be able to govern ourselves

of party tends to shrink this sense of

tokened trouble.
