Voters Understand Game of Grab.

In the early days of tariff robbery,
protection was defended on the
ground that the country's resources
and particularly infant industries
needed development. No high tarlh
champion dared to raise this wornout
plea in the recent tariff debate. The
cCuntry's intelligence forbade 1t.
For, when protected" trusts can
accumulate vast millions by undersel-
ling foreign competitors, in the lat
ter's own markets, by the simple de-
vice of robbing American consumers
in the home market, it is apparent
that the infant industry plea is no
longer available.
Abandoning all the old-time argu-
ments, the high tariff champions OF
the Aldrich school were compelled to
invent new protection" arguments.
That their pleas were simply sophls-
tries, in a huge game of grab, the In
telligent American west understands.

The consumer overIooked.

If the Aldrich law is revision
downward, as President Taft con.
strues it to be, the lowering of duties
is not such as the consumer viii de-
tect. The general average of the bill
is greater than that of the present
law and such specific reductions OF
duty as are made are generally Of a
character to increase the already high
protection of manufacture without any
benefit being put in sight for the con.

Public CiStern.
DUHC"Uln INA DVTAT
INTERESTED CAPITAL,
: Commercial Club Organizes to
Raise a Fund.
Gas Expert Will Be Retained
to Conduct Drills.

Leavenworth, March 25.-An accident
which came near to taking the life of
Huge Jameson. 10 years old, schooI
boy, may lead to the discovery and
development of a natural gas field at
Tonganoxie.
One day last week the boy was play
ing about a public cistern connected
with the fire protection of the village
when he dropped a match into crevice.
An explosion followed and the boy was
badly burned and his clothes set on fire.
Bystanders went to his rescue and ne
will probably recover.
The investigation which followed the
accident revealed the fact that both or
the city cisterns were filled with the IN
f1ammabIe gas. The wells are filled
with salt water from a well 800 feet
deep, the old coal test shaft. 1t has
been found that gas is constantly rising
from the well.
The test shaft was drilled many years
ago for the purpose of exploiting the
possibilities of the coal industry there.
Two veins of coal were pierced accord
ing to the drillers one some 400 feet
down and the p inch LeavenwOrth vein
at 900 feet below the surface. The pro-
ject for the establishment of a mine
in TonganoXie was finally abandoned
and it was rumored at the time that
there had really been no coal found in
the test shaft.
A citizen interested in the project had
been left on watch through the night
when the drillers struck coal 1t was
claimed that in his absence from the
vigil that the core drill had been
"salted" with imported coal.
The Tonganoxie Commercial held
meeting for the purpose of raising
fund to bore for gas. An expert from
the southern Kansas gas belt has been
retained and after looking over the
territory and examining the well he
declares that the prospects are excel
lent. Tonganoxie. according to Prof.

"Winnie:-Your checks are within

the notes she burst into tears and SYM
pathetic passengers gathered around
to comfort her in whatever her trouble
might be.
The woman passenger was Mrs.

1T means a loss to us" said Samuel
Z. LUX, prominent commission man
OF Topeka the other day. Where we
have been buying 176 to $50 oranges IN
a box and selling them to the retail
dealers and receiving the regular price
for them-we will have to sell them a
much smaller number Of oranges now
and they will lose the profit. That is
they would lose the proflt-but they are
loss will fall back upon the commission
house dealers. We are going to fad Il
hard business to sell these large or
anges to the retailers and the big ship
ments which have been coming to Us In
the last few years are going to fan on
with a thud.'
An explanation of the situation is
unnecessary. A groceryman buys a
box Of oranges for a certain price. II
this box has 1S0 oranges in IL and the
grocerymen sells then for 30 cents a
dozen it means tb~ getting $40.
Probably the = for these oranges
is the only Ole market in the or
ange business and he orders this size
oranges are getting larger and he only
gets IA I'm a box where he formerly re-
ceived 180. He must use this same
market price to get the trade and he
loses three dozen or 80 cents
Thus the oranges are bigger. the sales
are Smaller-and the poor commission
man must scratch and dig to work up
a shipment. This was an ill wind that

After Judge Mcpherson, in the fed

the railroads took under adviSement
the restoration of the Scent rate, sug-
gestfons were made by executive and
traffic officials of several lines that a
conference with state officials be re-
quested. Then, getting the impression
the state officials discountenanced a
conference, unanimous agreement
was reached for restoring the Scent
rate on April 10.
Many executive and traffic officials
did not regard this understanding as

there would be developments which

The original idea was to establish a
rate of 212 cents a mile on all main
lines on the north of the Missouri Pa
cific, and a rate of cents a mile on
all main lines operating south of the
Missouri Pacific with a rate of cents
a mile on all branch lines.
According to opinions expressed
there is a possibility the carriers would
not be unwilling to establish a rate
of 21A cents a mile on all main lines
throughout the state, issue 2-cents-a-

fix rate of cents a mile on all

THIS PREACHER JEALOUS.

preacher sent his wife and children to
Colorado ostensibly for a visit. He
remained here for two weeks and then
left. Nothing was thought of his de-

had gone to visit with Mrs. Bishop
and friends for a short time.
His congregation was set right,
however, upon the receipt here of two
litters, one to J. H. King, to whom the
minister owed 500 borrowed money,
and the other was to G.. L. Hudkins,
who was a creditor to the amount of

King to sell his household goods and

was tired of preaching to men and

ual Condition.
Wet Season Has Strange Effect
on Citrus Market.
THEY GROW LARGE.
Strange as 1t May Seem, This
Makes Them Unstable.
GrOcers Insist on Many Oranges
in One Box.

The custom of cutting oranges in twain
and serving them with powdered sugar
and souvenir spoon will again be re-
vived Possibly some people will think
that il has never died--but since the
craze for little juicy oranges has been
sweeping over the country the big ones
have been used for table decorations.
The reason for this unwelcome return
of the big thick skinned berries is be-
cause the weather men in California
did not see fit to let the sun shine in
that golden state-as result it rained
more than it has rained for years and
years-and as the followers of the
citrus Aurantium family roasted on
their trees they thrived in size but not
in age and they grew larger and larger
as the days rained on.
When the sun came out at last and
the oranges had a chance to regain
their co.o~ and ripen their subacidy
pulps Old Sol found them as he has
never found them before-big, and yell
low with their supporting limbs hanging
to the ground. Work as he may, the
old sun god could not ripen them fast
enough and when it came time for the
visit they too, were surprised at the
immense size of the fruit.
All of these things combined to make
the oranges the largest in years. In
fact very few of them were able to ripen
while in their prime and there were no
runts in the orange family this year.
This means that the shippers and
dealers all over the United States must
handle big reddish-yellow oranges this
year and the small ones are not to be
found. OF course there are any num-
Der of smaller ones at this time
but they will not last long and the To-
peka markets will soon lose them.
