RYKER PRAISES LIBERAL.
Railroad Commissioner Tells About
Broom Corn and Other Things.

Hutchinson, Kan. Nov. 26.-'Lib-
eral is a mighty good town. said Rail-
road Commissioner Charles A. Ryker
of Hutchinson. following his return
from Liberal on business and was sur
prfsed at the growth that is taking
place there and in that part of Kan
sas.
Thursday there were 124 loads of
broom corn weighed over one pair of
scales there" he said. There will
likely be a thousand cars of broom
corn shipped from that broom corn
district, of which Liberal is the CEN
ter. The corn is bringing from $40
to $50 ton. according to the quality
"The new Rock Island passenger
depot and the new eating house and
hotel for the railroad, are fine build
ings. The road will spend in the
neig of $4,000 there when
the work is. completed. It will be the
best depot the railroad company has
in Kansas. The buildings are con-
structed of concrete and brick, two
stories in height"
Mr.. Ryker was down there for the
railroad board, looking after some
matters for the state and inspected
the railroad station while there. He
believes that Liberal is bound to be
the big town in that part of the coun-
try and that the possibilities of that
part Of Kansas are yet unknown and
untried in large measure.

WILL PROTECT REFORMATORY.
Apparatus for Fire Fighting Has Been
Bought Already.

Hutchinson, Kan, Nov. 26.-Pro-
vision against fires at the reformatory
heretofore has been sadly lacking
and it is probable that only great
good fortune has heretofore saved the
institution much damage. Superin-
tendent M. F. Amrine is taking the
matter of obtaining fire protection in
hand by the purchase of apparatus and
and the matter will probably be
handled in a thoroughly comprehen-
sive manner at the next board meet
ing, which will be November %.
Two Fire Escapes.
Not only will the subject of fight
have already been ordered and will
be erected against the hospital and
chapel, and thus two avenues of es-
cape readily accessible from all parts
of the institution, or at least from the
upper floors, will be afforded. When
these fire escapes are put in and the
apparatus already ordered installed
and the fire company has had a few
drills there will be as little chance for
destructive fire in the reformatory
as in any public institution in the
state, or perhaps less.
A company of six boys will be
drilled for the expeditions handling of
the apparatus just purchased, and
thoroughly instructed in it's use. Sc
lections for the personnel of this COM
pany will be made soon.
Apparatus Purchased.
Mr.. Amrine has bought $3.50 worth
of apparatus-hose, reels and fire ex-
tinguishers which have already ar
rived and will be used for the especial
protection of the hospital, chapel,
dor1n1tory, gymnasium, and the barns.
1t Is probable that this equipment will
be added to by the board at the next
session..
A cattle shed is being completed
that is 80 by % feet with walls of

He has been in Topeka more than elev-
en- years and is a sort of clearing house
between the Hombres of the educated

native tongue and know little or moth
ing of the progress of the world. From

patriotism. but he said that Murillo
had certainly had good luck in lining
up recruits in Topeka.
'I don't think the revolutionists will

FIRST LOWER TARIFF.
Judge Baldwin Outlines Program for
the Democrats.

New York, Nov. ga lower tariff
Is the first duty of the Democratic
party as the result of the vote of con-
fdence which the people of the coun-
try have given it." says Judge Simeon
E. Baldwin, Democratic governor
elect of Connecticut, in a long inter-
view on the political outlook, published
here today. Judge BaIdwin's observa-
lions on the political situation include
the following:
THE Democratic party must not be
a standsttu party. It must go back to
pre-Bryanite progressiveness. For in
stance, no one would pretend that Mr..
Tilden was standpatter. Our central
idea must be the reduction of the tar
iff, which means, in the old phrase,
lowering of the taxes. The result will
be to lower prices.
THE best way to retain success is to
hold to a reasonable middle course.
The real position for every party to
take is a middle position and that is
the position the Democratic party
should take. No party can be really
great and enduring unless there is
room within it for men of quite differ
ent views on minor points. The Demo-
cratic party ought always to have a
conservative wing, a progressive wing
and moderate center. I belong to
the center.
L think that the powers of the in
terstate commerce commission have
probably been enlarged too far.
What makes this country great and
keeps 1t free Is free trade between all
the states and territories from ocean
to ocean, with absolute self govern
ment in each of the separate states, in
terfered with by congress only when
necessary for a few national purposes.
ITO retain the position in which the
Democratic party finds itself today, it
must continue to be the party of the
constitution. The beauty of our fed
eral legislation lies in it's simplicity, its
use of general terms and its avoidance
Of detail The men who framed ii
were really great in their knowledge
of world politics.
THE courts of the present day are
rully able to interpret the laws to meet
the needs of the times. There is a
vitality and freshness on the part OF
the American judiciary which is quite
adequate to such an Interpretation OF
the constitution as will make it secure
| the needs of the day.

GOSPEL OF WAR.
Pauvlo MuriIIO Spreading 1t
Here Among Mexicans.
Visits Topeka to Recruit Men
for RevOIutiOnists.
THEY DID NOT KNOW.
Most Of Natives Here Hadn't
Heard of Outbreak.
Suddenly Leave for Home Ito

THEY DID NOT KNOW.
SUNDAY.

Pauvlo Murillo, a recruiting officer
who has been assembling recruits for
the Mexican revolutionists in the
western states, spent a week in To-
peka While Murillo was working
among the dusky race in Topeka, a
confederate was busy at Harrington
and other railroad towns. The result
is that more than a carload of Mexi-
cans have returned to their native land
from Topeka and Harrington and will
take part in the trouble if necessary.
More than thirty Mexicans have gone
from Topeka with the intention of
helping the revoIutionists-
When Murillo came to Topeka ten
days ago he went quietly about his
business and as fast as recruits were
obtained, they were rushed to their ma
tive land No meetings were held by
the Mexicans to discuss the possibility
of war at home. but MurillO used the
political buttonholing method and
secured his men one at a time.
Nearly all of the Mexicans from To-
peka went directly to Ell Paso; from
where they will go to Jaurez, Old Mex
leo to join the army which is prepar-
ing to overthrow the Diaz government
So anxious We're some of the men to
leave for the scene of trouble that they
left without their pay checks and a
number of them still have sums of
from so to s15 due them from the rail-
road companies for which they worked.
Others who did not Immediately secure
transportation bought tickets, but none
of the tickets read to Ell Paso and re-
turn.
The federal authorities have been
watching for men who are supposed to
be recruiting soldiers in this country, but
no arrests have been made in Kansas
The enlistment of recruits to aid in the
overthrowing of the government of a
friendly power is a violation of the
neutrality laws, and the revolutionary
agents have had to operate very
quietly.
None of the several hundred Next
cans in Topeka seem to know when
Murillo came to Topeka, neither do
they appear to know when he left
town. That the recruiting officers
work in Topeka was effective is shown
from the fact that fully 10 per cent of
the total Mexican population has left
for their native cline. While in To-
peka Murillo lived with a Mexican
family in the bottoms and seldom if
ever came futher south than Fifth
street.
He Got Recruits.
Murillo evidently aroused consider
able enthusiasm among the bronzed
laborers, as each day few of the men
would leave their work and buv tick
cts for Ell Paso.
One Mexican, who can speak broken
English, left Topeka yesterday. AS he
stood on the platform of the Rock
\ Island depot, he told reporter that he
slnew nothing of the outbreak in his
native land and had never heard of
Murillo. In his hand the man held a
