GERMANS ACCUSE us.
They Say Opposition to DR.. Hill
Comes From Americans.

Berlin, March 27.-The matter OF
the acceptance by the German gov
ernment of DIR. David Jayne Hill, now
American minister at The Hague as
American ambassador to succeed
Charlemagne Tower, continues to
hold public interest. The foreign Of
fee deals with the affair by denying
that any explanation adverse to DR..
Hill has come from the German side
by declaring that he is persona grata,
and that all statements in a contrary
sense are inventions put into circula-
ton by designing Americans. 1t
states that the opposition to DIR. Hill
is American and not German On the
other hand Emperor Williams desire
to have DR.. Hill come to Berlin has
been a subject of discussion in the
official household of his majesty for
weeks past. General Won Plessen,
adjutant general to his majesty, has
referred to it, and it is known outside
of his ma jeStyS immediate suite that
Admiral Won Mueller. chief of his
majeSty's private marine cabinet, and
Admiral Won Trpitz, secretary of the
admiralty, are among those who have
told the emperor that they did not
regard DR.. Hill as suitable am bassa-

Mr.. Towers part is explained to

happens also that his majesty at
about the same time requested a dis

many to write to the president con-
corning his majesty's unwillingness
to receive DIR. HILL

TWO MORE FILE REPORTS
Railroads Continue to Report Increase
in Valuation

Two more Kansas railroads made
their report to the state tax commits
sion on Wednesday. One was the Leav-
envorth, Kansas & Western, which re-
ported its property in the state to be
worth 81. .331. .130. Last year this COM
pany was assessed on valuation of
$3.50. 1872 This road is a Union Pacific
nroperty and extends from Leaven-
worth to Miltonvale. in Cloud county.
The Chicago. Burlington & Quincy
also made its report, but gave no es-
innate of the value on the trackage or
rolling stock The totals of the report
are therefore unimportant. This road
evidently wants the tax commission to
make its own estimate on the value
of the property. The law requires that
the company shall make an estimate of
the value of its rolling stock, and for
this deficiency, the commission may
require the company to make an addi-
tionaI report. Last year the company
was assessed on a valuation of $780,

There Is Promise of Cooler Weather
However.

The rain or snow predicted by the
weather department for Topeka today
proved to be another consignment of
regulation March weather-dust laden
atmosphere kept in constant and vio-
lent motion by a % hour wind from
the southwest though there was just a
trace of rain early this morning. The
effect was completely removed in less
than half an hours time by the warm
sunshine aided and abetted by a furious
gale.
The temperatures today have been
about the same as those of yesterday
though the clouds hanging low in the
heavens indicate that there is a possi-
bility of rain falling at any time. The

have prevailed for the past 48 hours
may be looked for Saturday and Sum

The federal supreme court is univer~
sally recognized as the highest judicial
body in the world. II has been and is
one of the hulwnrks of our American
institutions and our American liberties.
No greater blow could be given To- var
American life than TO have the faith in
this noble court undermined.
In all human probabilities, the next
president will have the appointment OF
several members OF this court Pos
sihly enough members will bc appointed
to affect very seriously the personnel
and character of the court Ter genera
tion TO come.
Which of the TIVE candidates now
prominently before the country is the
better qualified to deal with this great
question Bryan has shown himself ta
he the visionary, the drcaw,,, the
champion Of mtenabie theories, the
preacher of revolutionary and dcstruc
tive doctrines. He has shown also, in
his choice of couuselors and helpers.
that he is weak and faulty in his judg
ment of men. He could easily do IT,
reparable damage to our supreme
court by his appointment of weak men
or men virtually committed beforehand
TO the Interpretation of law and Of the
constitution IN furth6rance Of Bryan :
dangerous economic theories.
On the other hand, Judge Taft has
had years Of training and experience
on the bench. He knows the men OF
Judicial mind and learning. He is wei
qualified 10y temperament and traru2p
to place the strongest men ir the
world highest cour, and maintain the
high standard Of this branch Of our
government.

every voter to consider We can not
afford to weaken.our Judiciary. Ex.

TRIM SAILS TO SUIT THE BREEZE

MIR. Bryan thought in 1896 that the
salvation to the country depended upon
the free coinage of silver into SO cent
dollars. Later it was imperialism"
which threatened the national life if
the republican party was continued in
power When he returned from his
trip around the world his great speech
in Madison Square Garden proclaimed
ownership of railroads was the para
mount" issue. This did not seem to
catch on with the people and now has
been thrown into the discard along with
the issues of the former campaigns.
Now il is the government guarantee of
bank deposits and the issuing of fed
eral license TO the trusts, which cap the
most impractical of all his theories.
He shifts from one position to another
with all the ease and nonchalence of a
trained jnggler and seems to think that
the people have such short memories
that they will forget the past and have
faith IN his new theories and promises,
which he may abandon for something
newer even before this campaign ends.
Anything To catch the votes appears to
be Mr.. Bryan's policy and he stands
before the public in about the same
light ms the candidate of smaller calibre
once did, when in addressing an audi
ence he said Them, gentlemen, is
my earnest and irrevocable convictions,
but il you don't like any of 'em / can
easily change EN- to suit you. -" White

DON'T TAKE CHANCES on CONGRESS

the utmost Importance that republi-
