the trouble. and last night and
throughout today the cadets have been
under severe measures OF discipline.
It appears that Captain Longau. sta

ure OF the cadets in some manner. and
when he entered mess hall last night
he was greeted with the indiEnity Of
silence" Immediately the offending
cadets were ordered to their rooms

the silence was repeated this morn
ing at breakfast. and once more the
offenders were locked in their rooms.

matter and decide what Punishment

without avail.

that the average nd vaIorcm rate OF

The recent revision Of the tariff has
been the subject Of so much dissan-

What Really Happened.

Kewanee Star-Courier: Some Of the
loudest political talking of recent
months has been done by men who
probably meant well but who, unfor-
tunately, were lame in facts. Certain
lime-light lovers of Kansas, including
Congressman Murdoch and Governor
Stubs, intimated that Taft could not
carry an election precinct in that
state, SO unpopular had he become
Governor Stubs gave 1t out that at
the annual Republican banquet on the
anniversary of the, admission of Kan
sas into the union, Jan. 29.) the Kan
sas Republicans would make known
their hostility to the President. Then
the real Republicans concluded it was
time that they should be heard from
There were 1000 present at the ban.
quet and they Endorsed Taft seven to
one; and resolution indorsing Gov
ernor Stubs for reelection was de
feated by substantially the same vote
When the regular Republicans become
aroused some OF this nonsense that
has been INDUCED in, will find the cur
tain rung down.
