General support should be given to
the plan of the county commissioners
to hold an election for the voting of
bonds to the amount of $4,000 to pro-
vide the funds for the repairing of the
bridges across the Kaw which were put
out OF commission by the recent ice
jams. This is the only way that ade-
quate funds can be obtained for this
work and the rebuilding of these bridges
is a necessity.

is ENGLAND ALONE?

It will scarcely pay Germany to take
any step of great international import
on the strength, solely of Prof. Theo-
dore Schremann's opinion as expressed
in the Berlin Kreuz-zitung. Professor
Schremann, who is the recognized ex-
ponent of German Imperialism, is
quoted as follows: in the British
colonies very little attention is paid to
the antagonism between Great Britain
and Germany, and the same may be
said of the United States of America
Never has the fact been more clearly
demonstrated that Great Britain is a
country standing by herself and that
her colonies have grown into separate
nations, with their own separate inter-
ests. In Canada the wish is coming
to be felt more and more that there
should be a separate Canadian diplo-
matte corps to represent Canada
throughout the world
1t may. appear on the surface OF
things as If the British colonies were
very little interested in the antagon-
ism to which Prof. Schremann refers.
It is an undeniable fact that some Of
those colonies have attained to the i'm
portance of separate nations, and that
each has its own peculiarly predomi-
nant interests. 1t would hardly be safe,
however. to assume for purposes of in
ternational policy that British colonies
are SO wrapped up in their own re-
spective interests as to be unmindful
of the mother country and her inter-
ests.-Manchester Union.

intelligence, had had no training for
the work. They are to be succeeded
by two citizens of Washington, who
have just been appointed by President
Taft. One of them. Cuno H. Ru-
dolph, is a hardware merchant. The
other, John A. Johnston, was a brig
adler general in the regular army, who
resigned seven years ago, to become
identified with a loan trust company
in Washington.
The new commissioners are regard
ed in Washington as men of good
capacity, and their appointment is re-
ceived with satisfaction. It is unfor-
tunate that the president could not
have undertaken the innovation of a
municipal government for the nation

When the fact is taken into considera- ton that the distribution nf this vast sum reaches from the work mans cabin t the palaces of the wealthiest in use land. and with these dividends goes 10 the wsge- earner the immense cost of pro duction, it Can be sezn that it will take more than the average mind to grasp the importance this industry plays in the prosperity O. the United States.
