IN POLITICS.

1t is insisted by many that poll
tics is no place for young men, and
yet there are some people who adj
wise them to get into politics. 1t
seems to us that much depends on
the motive which prompts the
young man to enter politics as to
whether or not he should receive
encouragement. Senator Colby of
New Jersey said in ali address to
the young men of New York
81 want you to yet into politics. That
does not mean holding Office Weneed
lot of fresh brains in politics to take
the place of the dried and overturned
political minds that never can see the
point of this new game.
IL have followed with interest the pro-
posed change in the rules made in the
game of politics. We need to make the
game more open, abolish interference
and do away with coaching from the side
lines through INSCRIPTIONS politicians
by the corporations.
Gin my opinion the remedy lies in the
direct primary and direct nominations in
which the people can take an interest"
There is abundant evidence in
every political campaign to prove
that young men inspired with the
sentiment expressed by Senator
Colby should get into politics.
Such young men are needed in the
politics of every State and every
community.
Again, too many christian men
standa side and look with horror
and disgust on existing conditions
in our public life-conditions for
which they are responsible.
Every christian man owes it to
his country and his God to take an
active part in politics. Join the
clubs of your party, and don't leave
all the work to the wire-pullers
and political heelers.
We would advise our young men
to study politics; learn to combat
the influence of the selfish politi-
clan who strives to feather his own
nest or that of a friend and does
not hesitate to encourage wrong to
accomplish his purpose.
Study politics, and learn to shun
the olier-than-thou" man the
fellow who, in his efforts to gain
political preferment will boldly
strive to obscure the real issue in
volved and whose prejudices often
confuses the religious and moral
vision.
Our experience and observation
convinces us that the masses of the
people are honest. They want
their rights, but, unfortunately,
they will not always fight for them.
Not so with the INSCRIPTIONS pol
itician who is in the political game
for profit. He is always ready and
striving to win favor in any man
ner possible.
We have always been sustained
by our belief in the final triumph
OF the people, and that has given
us courage to continue the fight
for those principles and measures
we deem necessary Tor good gov
eminent and the betterment of all
mankind

WILL TRY 1T AS GUEST.
Mr.. Taft Will Spend Tonight at the
White House.

Washington, March 3.-As the
guests of President and Mrs. Roose-
welt President-elect and Mrs Taft will
begin their occupancy of the White
House tonight, going there for dinner
and remaining.
After the inauguration there will
be a reunion of the various members
of the Taft family at the White House.
Mr.. Taft enjoyed a golf game on
the Chevy Chase course yesterday af-
ternoon and said he felt much bet
ter for the ride to the club and the
four mile walk entailed by the game.
He defeated handily his opponent,
General Clarence r. Edwards.
Mr.. Taft is member of the
Chevy Chase club, and intends to play
golf whenever opportunity may afford
but at present heAsees little chance for
recreation during the first few weeks
of his administration. Returning
from the golf course in his new auto
mobile the president-eIect somewhat
enjoyed the spectacle of leaving be-
hind in the mud a member of his
secret service guard who had under
taken to make the trip on a motor
cycle.
Before his game Mr.. Taft was
called upon by Senator-elect Root and
the two had a lengthy conference. Its
details Mr.. Taft said were not properly
for publication.

His Last Day as a Private Citi-
zen Is Devoted
To Listening to Suggestions Re-
garding Appointments.
WASHINGTON UPSET
By Immense Crowd That Has
Gathered for Tomorrow.
The Parade Is Expected to In
clude $4,000 Marchers.

Washington, March 3.-This, the last
day of President-elect Taft's private cit
izenship, he devoted to those who might
wish to call on him at the Boardman
residence. The callers began arriving
early. Mr. Taft was in his usual happy
mood and listened to political situa-
tions" to suggestions for appointments
and to innumerable projections of ideas
from various persons.
President and Mrs. Roosevelt will en-
tertain Mr.. and Mrs. Taft at dinner to-
night and have invited their guests to
remain as house guests for the night.
tomorrow Mr.. Taft will begin there the
important events of the day which at
noon will make him master of the ex-
ecutive mansion for the next four years.
With every prospect of good weather,
with all preparations complete and with
each incoming train and boat adding
to the numberlesS hosts gathered here
from far and near, the nations capital
waits the coming of the morrow when
William H. Taft will be inaugurated
president of the United States
So great is the congestion in the
streets, at the hotels, and everywhere
except at the vast Union station, large
enough to house a standing army, that
the ordinary routine of Washington life
has been temporarily suspended. The
time honored inaugural parade which
a greater number will be enabled to
witness is claiming more interest than
the Inauguration ceremonies.
The latest estimate of the number of
men who will march is placed at $4,000,
not the least of which will be the gov
ernors of IA states, each accompanied
by his staff. Among the state executives
already here are Governors Wilson of
Kentucky, Carol of Iowa. Hughes of
New York, Prouty of Vermont, Harmon
of Ohio, Hadley of Missouri, Penneweill
nf D.
shire, Sanders Of Louisiana, Stuart of
Pennsylvania, Noel of Mississippi, ,Deneen
of Illinois, Fernald of Maine
To Join the Parade
Having encircled the globe with the
battleship fleet 1900 blue Jackets are
here to take part in the parade
Marching clubs are arriving from ev-
cry direction and they will form a very
conspicuous feature of the parade.
Probably the largest of these delega-
members of the New York County Re
publican club, which will have the dis
tinction of escorting the retiring presi-
dent to the station before falling in line
in the inaugural parade.
Mr.. Roosevelt will walk to the station
in true democratic style and will occupy
a modest drawing room during the trip
to New York.
President-elect Taft and Vice Presi-
dent-elect Sherman both are here ready
fees. Practically all the Tafts are here
too and Mr.. Sherman's family came in
last night aboard a special train bear
ing also the Business Mems club of
Utica, New York, Mr.. Sherman's home
city. The Syracuse Business Mems
club arrived on the same train and Mr..
Sherman met them at the station and
after declaring, Boys, am with you"
took his place between the leaders of
the column and marched away with
them to their hotel.

RAILROAD NEWS.
Union Pacific'S New Train Will
Be Inaugurated April 4.
Semi Official RumOrs Received
in Topeka to That Effect.
WILL BE A FAST ONE.
Provides Through Service From
st. Louis to Los Angeles.
Other Items of Interest in Rail-
way Circles.

Rumors of a semioffcial nature
which have been received in Topeka
indicate that the proposed new train on
the Union Pacific will be put on on
April 4, when the new spring time card
takes effect on that road.
Many of the train officials on the
Kansas division have received notice
that they are to appear at Omaha April
1, and at that time receive additional
instructions This is construed to mean
that the head officials of the traffic
and passenger departments have some
personal orders which they wish to
explain in connection with the new
train service.
Great things have been promised in
conversational way by the Union
Pacific officials. 1t will be a through
train from St. Louis to Los Angeles.
The train will come from st. Louis to
Kansas City via the AIton-Clover Leaf
route, where connection will be made
with the Union Pacific, on which road
the new train will be routed to Den
yer. From Denver to Salt Lake City
the routing is said to be over the Rio
Grande and from Salt Lake City to
Los Angeles over the Salt Lake route.
This new train will be the fastest
train on the Kansas division of the
Union Pacific and will take precedence
over the present fast trains Nos. 101
and 1O3. The present train service is
inadequate for heavy summer travel to
Colorado. Some change in the form of
an addition had to be made and this
was decided upon as the most feasible
plan. The western competition be-
tween the Hartman and Hill lines is
said to have been an additional rea-
son for the project of running another
train.
The facilities for handling local traf-
fic are not adequate for handling all
this form of business either, and it may
be under the new schedules that some
of the fast trains which are now
known as flyers" will be required to
make stops at a few of the most i'm
portant of the minor towns.
The Union Pacific has every facility
for additional train service on the
Kansas division The tracks are all in
good shape, and the roadbed is one of
the best in the west. The automatic
block signal system is installed all
along the l ineand there : plenty of
side tracks so that traffic will not be
congested with the additional train
running each way.

NEW SHOPS COMPLETED.
Santa Fe's New Improvements in
Chanute in Operation.

Chanute, Kan, March S.-The
Santa Fe is in absolute possession OF
its new shops today. The transfer OF
roundhouse is complete. Bulletins
were posted in all offices, shops and
workrooms of the mechanical depart
ment last night advising employees OF
the removal of the shops to the new
location and instructing them to re-
port at the new site this morning.
The last machines are being set up
and connected with power this after
noon and by tomorrow the new shops
should be in perfect running order.
The only portion of the old shops
which has not yet been moved is
Master Mechanic MitchelPs office and
records. These will be transferred
during the week At that time the
old shops will have been completely
abandoned.

MAY GET NEW LINE.
Missouri Pacific Wants Holden-Paola
Branch.

railroad circles that there is a deal
on between the M. K. & T. and the
management of the Missouri Pacific,
whereby the latter is thinking of TAX
ing over for its use that part of the
Katy branch from Holden, Mo, to
Paoia, says the Cass County Demo-
crat 1t is obtained from very good
authority that a division civil en-
gineer of the Pacific three weeks ago
walked this branch of the Katy from
Paola to Holden to gain a thorough
knowledge of the roadbed and the
topography of the country to see what
bridges and culverts were necessary.
1t is also a pretty well founded rumor
that the Katy management has set its
price on the stretch of road in ques-
ton. This road was operated by the
Missouri Pacific until 1895.

ARE UNREASONABLE.
Commission Rules Adversely in
Spokane Rate Case.


Spokane Rate Case.
Washington. March 3-The inter
state commerce commission has de-
filed by the city of Spokane against
the Northern Pacific, the Great
Northern and the Union Pacific,
which were:
First-That the rates from eastern
destinations to Spokane were higher
than to Seattle, a mere distant point.
Second-That the rates to Spokane
were inherently unreasonable.
On the first point defendants main
PEELED them to charge the rates in
effect to Seattle without violating the
long and short haul provision or with
out discriminating against Spokane
under the law.
The commission sustains the claim
of the defendants in this respect and
holds that the rates to Spokane, al
though higher than to Seattle. are not
unlawful.
On the second point the commission
sustains the claim of the petitioner
and holds that the rates from eastern
destinations to Spokane are unjust
and unreasonable 1t reduces class
rates from st. Paul to Spokane 16 %
per cent and makes substantially tn
same reduction from Chicago to
Spokane Rates east of Chicago are
not dealt with.
The decision if applied in principle
to all commodities and to all interior
points must work a revolution in
rates from eastern points of origin to
all interior transcontinental territory
and in that view it is one of the most
far reaching decisions ever rendered
by the commission
