THB WAY 1T WORKS.

The TINES publishes the financial
statement of she city Of Butler, pre-
pared by Carl ]. Henry, city clerk.
The Rspublican-Pres ives very much
perturbed about this statement just
before the election, but has had little
TO say since.
The Republican Press and Record
display great anxiety about the
county finances she same vay-iust
before the election, In the interim
little IL heard from them. II any
thing IL wrong with the city or coun.
~ finances, attention should be call
ed to the same BY an honest paper as
soon as discovered; otherwise the
paper becomes particeps crimini, by
concealing the same until II can gain
q partisan advantage BY exposure.
Does any honest man believe In such
so-called exposes" on the eve OF
election when two whole years are
permitted to intervene without q ref.

would comment later. Their past
records In such matters warrant MS
in interpreting that to mean, that on
the eve OF election the statement
would be CARRIED, misrepresented,
questions asked about this and that
item, all with the sole view OF conius-
ing the voter with limitations OF
something wrong.
Two years ago, q few weeks before
the election, these kind Of tactics we're
employed. One W. o. Atkeson, the

How Hath He 0ffended2

The Kansas City Journal says:
"The announcement Of Senator La
Toilette that he will bolt II Fairbanks
is nominated will cause many voters
who have not thought much about
Fairbanks to wonder II he isn't q
mighty good man for president, after
ALL"
What has Senator LaF allette done
to make his presence In the republi-
can party obnoxious TO republican
editors? He seems to stand very
high among men Of all political par.
ties in all sections Of the country.
The republican national convention
undertook to read him out OF the
party and refused bis delegation q
seat in the convention; but, appeal
ing to the people Of Wisconsin, be
was INDICATED by an enormous ma
jority, reelected to the Office Of gov
erpor, and then elected to the United
States senate, since which time be
has steadily grown in public favor.
Senator LaFollette seems depend
able when 1t comes to q question be-
tween right and wrong, to contest
between special interests and public
interests; yet some republican editors
and leaders seem, very anxious to
read LaFollstte out Of their party.
The extreme anxiety Of the Kansas
City Journal on this point Il shown
BY its willingness to 60 20 far q to

west Missouri:
1--WE very rarely get out In the
agricultural regions Of our great
commonwealth, and especially In the
prairie regions, but We think OF our
friends In the eastern and southern
states and we feel and some times
utter the wish that they might stand
with US on some elevation amid the
wealth and beauty and have one
look upon its glory. To many 1t
would be almost like the vision Of
Moses from the top Of Plsgah! We
remember once, in Bates county,
Missouri, when the glory OF the land
scape overpowered us. We stopped,
and looking around we counted some
fifty homes and farms, allevidencing
prosperity. Standing at the same
point today we could doubtless
count many more, Notwithstanding
that orchards, hedges and shade
trees have so msgnifled and multi
piled as to greatly obstruct the view.
But this country must be seen to be
accepted In It's real beauty"

Brooklyn, N. Y, Sept. 13.-In the
changes which are necessary in send
ing ships to various navy yards for
repairs the Brooklyn navy yard Is
destined to lose the United States
battleship Indiana, which has been
regarded in the distribution of ships
to the yards as belonging to the
yard at Philadelphia. when it is pec-
essary to make periodical repairs or
alterations from time to time. The
navy department is now at work on
the schedule of repairs, and will an
nounce shortly the ships which are
to be sent to the navy yards for
docking, cleaning and such improve
ments and changes as are recon-
mended. These repairs will not be
undertaken until after the ships have
finished target practice off the New
England coast. AS soon as repairs
are made the Atlantic fleet will be
reorganized, so as to include the new
ships which have been commissioned
and which are now on their shaking
down" cruises. The fleet will go
next winter to southern waters, as 1t
usually does in that season, and
there will be early in the new year
the annual target practice on the
Cuban coast. II has been
decided not to have this take place
again in home waters in the winter,
as the facilities are better in the
West Indies. This will be serious
blow to Pensacola business interests.
which have always prospered by the
presence of the ships.

Ceylon a Rubber Producer,

Perandeniya, Ceylon, Sept. 49,
The rubber exhibition under the
auspices of the Ceylon government
opened today at the royal Botanical
gardens in this city. 1t is remark
ably complete and interesting and
will continue until September 27.
The exposition was arranged princi-
pally for the reason to call the at
tention of the world to the fact that
Ceylon and the Federated Malay
states have become rubber produc-
,ers and are ready to enter into COM
petition with other rubber-produc-
ing countries. The rubber industry
is of comparatively recent date in
Ceylon. The people of Ceylon do
not depend upon the. product of the
wild growing rubber trees, but grow
the trees on plantations, devoting
considerable care to the cultivation
of the trees and the production of
superior rubber. 1t is stated that
the Ceylon rubber is fully equal, IL
not superior to the Para rubber of
Brazil. The exports are still incon-
siderable, but they are doubling
every year, and it is anticipated that
in about seven years they will reach
about ten or fifteen millions pounds
and that in about Is years they will
exceed the exports of Brazil. 1t Is
stated by authorities that the planta-
ton product possesses great advan-
tages over wild rubber, which it viii,
ultimately displace. The exhibition,
which includes not only rubber In
various stages of refinement, but also
rubber machinery, appliances for
tapping, treating, storing, rubber,
ETC., is being held with special view
to evolving ideas and machinery
which may be of assistance in the
manufacture of rubber.

San Francisco Call Says S.
P. Is to Build This Road

San Francisco, Sept. 12.-The Call
today said
"The Southern Pacific has decided
to build a coast line railroad to Port
land at once 1t will run direct from
Drain. Ore, to Coos Bay and from
Coos Bay to Eureka. 1t will run
over the Santa Fe line to Camp Five.
over the new line which 1t is con-
structing jointly with the Santa Fe
to Sherwood, and over the line of the
California Northwestern to Tiburon.
Furthermore, holding company
is being organized by President Har-
riman, of the Southern Pacific, and
President Ripley, of the Santa Fe, to
own all the trackage between San
Francisco and Eureka. The object
of this holding company Is to permit
harmonious joint usage of tracks.
"These properties include the
California Northwestern, the North
Shore, the Santa Fe line from Eure-
ka to Camp Five, and the joint line
between Sherwood and Camp Five.
Trains of the Southern Pacific and
the Santa Fe will run jointly over the
sea lines from Eureka to San Fran
cisco. The object of this holding
company is to permit this harmon
ious usage of tracks.
Preliminary Survey Completed.
"The announcement of the deter
mination on the part of the South
ern Pacific to build a coast line to
Portland at once came as a surprise
to railroad circles. The announce
ment was made today that the pre-
liminary survey north had been COM
pleted and that the coast route to
Portland had been determined upon.
Locating engineers have been In the
field for over month, and part Of
the final alignment has already been
completed. The force of engineers
has been increased so that the con-
struction work may be begun before
the winter closes.
at is generally believed in rail
road circles that the determination
on the part of the Southern Pacific
to build at once is to head off a pos
sible hostile movement by the
Goulds, who are building the West
ern Pacific into San Francisco, and
who are looking with eager eyes
upon the Oregon coast country.
