PANAMA SHARES
POSTAL RECEIPTS

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. pam
other highly interesting feature OF the
Taft.made treaty with the Republic Of
Panama was disclosed in the Senate
committees investigation, when there
we're revealed certain peculiar finan
cial relations between the Canal Com
mission and Panama with reference to
postage upon matter sent from Amer
lean post Offices in the canal zone to
the United States.
E s. Benson, auditor Of the commits
sion, told of postal accounts and deal
ings in postage stamps which brought
from Senator Morgan and the other
members a cross.fire of questioning
without very satisfactory results. This
questioning developed that. although
the canal zone is American territory,
Mr.. Taft has made an arrangement un'
der which Panama stamps must be
used on all letters mailed in canal
zone postofices.
American postal laws operate In the
zone in every particular, except that
Panama stamps must be used on all
outgoing matter. This divides with
Panama the postal receipts upon the
zone, although the mails are handled
solely by the United States govern.
ment.
These stamps are purchased by the
commission from the republic at forty
per cent. OF their face value and are
sold by the commission at full face
value.
Mr.. Benson said his understanding
was there had been some friction be-
tween the republic and the United
States over the prospect Of Panama
losing It's postal revenues because Of
the lower rate of postage from the zone
to the United States. In order 10 re,
move this friction, the Secretary Of
War made the agreement for the use
Of Panama stamps and American
stamps to the value of $4,000 were de
stroyed.
Members of the committee indicated
their inability to understand what au'
thority the Secretary Of War had TO
make such an agreement.

That charming pastoral play, york
State Folks" which appears to possess
a charm which can almost be classed
as fascination, and while it does not
contain any tragic situations. does not
exploit any "so-called social problems"
and has no theatrical claptrap what
ever, it has the mate power to hold the
audience with intense interest from
the rise CT the curtain on the first act
until it goes down on the last, pays the
city a return visit very soon. That 1t
will be cordially received there can be
no question, as its presentation here
last season was universally proclaimed
as one of the best theatrical treats Of
the season.

been presented here, few, IL any, gave

beautiful pastoral play by Arthur Sid

CURTTs AND LONG.

A great commouOn has been started
in Kansas politics over a simple as
sertion made by Congressman Charles
Curtis in a political speech at Parsons
last Friday evening Probably no one
is more surprised at the hubbub It has
started than Mr.. Curtis himself, for he
simply gave utterance to something
which everyone who is acquainted with
the senatorial contest knows to be true:
"The Union Pacific railroad" Mr.
Curtis asserted, defeated me for the
United States senate"
It has never been a secret that the
influence of the Union Pacific in the
fight for William A Harris seat in the
United States senate was thrown to
Chester I. Long One good thing about
the Union Pacific is that it has not
tried to hide its position in Kansas poll
tics. It has said what It wanted and
people have been free to be for or
against It.
Some time before the senatorial fight
of 1903 opened in earnest, Mr.. Long.
then a congressman, made a trip to
New York. Ten days later the cry was
started by his opponents that he had
corralled the help of certain big fnan-
cial interests in Wall Street.-The su-
gar trust and it's allies. Later develop
ments proved that the Hartman rail-
road interests were for Long. It was
commonly supposed that Long had
simply beaten Curtis to it, and Mr.
Curtis had to be content with the back
ing of the Missouri Pacific and Rock
Island. The Santa Fe. 1t was under
stood. took no active part in the con-
test.
The Union Pacific won. Everybody
understood st the time that it was be-

One reason why President Roosevelt

terests of the country as we'll as with
the laboring and agricultural classes.
is disclosed in a paragraph in the last
weekly financial review issued by
Henry Clews, the New York banker.
It is tribute to the presidents execu-
tive ability-his ability to cope with a
great emergency by prompt action, and
his readiness to assume whatever re-
sponsiblity may be placed upon his
shoulders. Mr.. Clews says:
THE prompt and decisive action of
President Roosevelt in meeting the Gu
ban outburst clearly shows that our en-
ergetic president is the right man in
the right place. He never waits for
red tapeism or the grass to grow under
his feet before acting in. cases Of great
emergency. Many of his predecessors
would have called a special meeting of
congress to take action rather than as
sumo the grave responsibility IN a case
like this, and the delay that would
have been caused thereby would final
" have probably required 100. 900
American soldiers to be sent to Cuba
to grapple with the present uprising.
Spain had an army of 200, 900 to put
down the last revolt and failed to con
quer the insurgents even with that vast

hind Senator Long, and there is no
news in Mr.. Curtis assertion. The only
thing sensational about IT Is its author
ity.
It does-not necessarily follow. how
ever. that Mr.. Curtis would have been
elected senator If Mr.. Long had not
been. Ex-Governor Stanley was a
strong factor in that fight and a large
number of Longs personal supporters
would have preferred MIN to Curtis.
had not Long won
It does not follow, either. that the
Union Pacific is against Mr.. Curtis now
simply because it supported Long in
preference to him in 1903. 1t may be
Curtis turn this year. It seems to be
generally understood that the railroads
are now united on Curtis. where they
were divided two years age.
Mr.. Curtis assertion Is not interest
ing as news but it is interesting as
corroborative evidence coming from
one of the Interested parties Of what
everybody has known before.
The people cannot help now what
happened four years ago. but perhaps
they can have something to say about
whether the railroads shall name the
senator next winter.

A jovial old preacher was coming up
on the train to Usage City last Mon
day morning and was having a big
time with a little 3-year-Old acquaint-
ance who with his parents was on the
way to Kansas City. The preacher had
a silver dollar which he pretended to
throw out of the car window, and then
would find it in the little fellows pOck-
ct, or in the back of his neck or in his

amined very curiously, then giving 1t
a toss out of the window he stuck his
little ear over to the preacher and
shouted: Now, Is it in my carp"
The Solomon Tribune tells this agrf-
cultural item: Last spring Mr. We'd
die planted a field of corn on the Fred
BrownTigg farm just east of town, but
the stand was so poor that he after
wards planted the same field to pota-
tees thinking the corn would not
amount to much. But about the time
the potatoes sprOuted and commenced
to grow, the corn got ashamed Of it
self and it too began shooting through
the ground and took on a good healthy
appearance For the next few weeks
the two crops lived together in per-
feet harmony, neither one doing any
thing to injure the other and when the
corn was picked a short time ago, 1t
was found to average 80 bushels per
acre. The potatoes We're dug this week
and they made SO bushels per, acre
also Both crops were of good quality
the potatoes being the best we have
seen on the home market this season. "
