LONG COMES BACK
Senator EYens Up With Wichita
Commercial Club.
Urges Organization TO Fall in
Line With Roosevelt.
THE HEPBURN BILL.
Asks That 1t Be Endorsed by
Civic League.
Says the Railroad Fight Has
Only Commenced.

Senator Chester I. Long, who had to
submit to a good deal of raillery on the
part of the Wichita Chamber of Com
meree because ne would not commit
himself i'm favor of President Roose-
Velts railroad policy, has now come
back at the Wichita organization urg-
ing it TO lire up in favor of the Roose-
welt policy as expressed i'm the Deliver
and Hepburn bills now pending in con
gress
Shortly after Senator Doniver intro
duced his rate bill. c. L. Davidson the
president eff the Wichita club. wrote TO
Senator Lorg and objected to the Dol
liver bill, saying that it would be of no
benefit to Kansas.
To this letter, Senator Long has sent
the following reply:
Washington. D. c.. Jan 20 1906
& j. Davidson. President Wichita
chamber of Commerce, Wichita. Kan.
received your recent letter in which
you state your objections to the DoI1f-
Yer bill, and advise me that i'm v0ur
opinion. it would not be of service to
kansas
I regret that you are dissatisfied with
this bill. OF the pending bills. the Dol
liver bill in the senate and the rIrr7 l111f.l1
bill in the house are practically the
same. Both are in line with President
RooseTeIt's recommendation in his last
message. and both are earnestly favored
by the president Both avoid the fatal
defects of the Esch-T Townsend bin of the
last session. The Hepburn bin viii be
reported to the house by the unanimous
vote Of the Republican members of the
committee. with the Recommendation
that a rule be adopted prohibiting any
amendments i'm the house. Such action
viii probably be taken.
The Deliver and Hepburn bills more
nearly express my views on additional
railroad rate legislation than any other
measures that have been introduced.
Last November, before the presidents
recommendations were made an effort
was made to compel me to say. in ad-
vance. that I would indorse any recon-
mendations that the president might
make in his message. This L declined
to do. stating that I would wait until

IN MEMORY.

son Saturday morning June 80, 1906,
Our Heavenly Father saw fit in his
wisdom to call to himself our dear
beloved friend, Sophia Ross, daughter
of Mr.. John and Mamie Ross. Her
age was II years and months. Her
untimely death was a shock TO all.
She came to her death at the Mt
Zion Sunday School Convention By
a pistol shot by unknown hands.
She was the idol Of an who knew
her. She was kind and loving
friend to all her associates. To know
her was TO love her. She had kind
and affectionate word for all, and
was very obedient 10 her father and
mother. She was one of the most
jealous workers of Mt Zion Sunday
School. Why Sophia was taken we
cannot tell, but We know the Lord
hath need of her ami He called her
home One great thought, we can
meet sweet Sophia in the New Jeru-
salem where parting will be no more.
Sophia loved TO take care of her
little baby brother Charley, and help
her mamma, but God hath something
else for her to do. She is another
tie to bind father and mother, brother
and sister on to God. Don't weep
for her, dear loved ones, for she is
now with beautiful hands, beekon-
ing bands calling her dear ones TO
heavenly lands.
precious darling how Wen miss YOU
IN the morning. noon and night;
How you filled The family circle
With your smiles so sweet and
bright
Your place we find 1t vacant
In the morn and evening prayer;
And We miss You at the noon time,
When We see your vacant chair.
Yes, we know whsn ON Sabbath eve
Returning from the labors Of that
day.
We find your sweet face missing,
Aud we know you're gone away.
Yes, We know she IL gone AWAY;
She is gone up home 10 rest;
She is gone with angels
To our Dear Savlor's breast.
Farewell Sophia, Oh the parting
Brings TO US sad tears and pain;
But there Is golden promise
That in Heaven well meet again.
