to the announced plan of the Fort
Smith & Western railroad to build
connection with the Orient near the
Texas boundary line, an official of the
company says: 1.-The extension is be-
ing seriously considered. When we
bought the st. Louis, Ell Reno & West
ern, between Guthrie and FL Reno.
four years ago, 1t was with this extern
sion in view. The road at present ends
nowhere particularly. and we need
both a better outlet and a better inlet.
The most direct route would be
through Anadarko and Mountain Park
to Altus.' The Commercial club of
pany to route the extension from Ana
darko via LaWton.
A contract has been let by the
American Central Railway company,
chartered in Arizona last December,
to the Central Construction company
to build a line from Vernon, Tex.

and Mangum; thence across the Texas
and Oklahoma panhandle country to
Hoover, Tex, distance of 165 miles.
The line will also touch Wheeler. Tex.
The company was chartered with
SIS, 100000 capital for the purpose OF
building from Arkansas Pass, Tex,

on the first line will begin at Vernon
and progress north.
Grading is progressing on the Cher

Cardinals Inner Circle Said to Be Best

Cardinals Inner Circle Said to Be Best
in National League.
ST. Louis. March 15-Roger Bres-
nahan will start the 1911 campaign
with the best infield in the National
league There was time when the
Chicago Cubs had the champion in
field of major league baseball, but that
slipping back and Evers broke his
leg last fall and may never come
back"
The New York infieId is the only
combination in the National league
that compares favorably with the st.
Louis quartet And no wise baseball
manager would trade Honey, Hug
gins. Hauser and Mowrey for MerkIe,
Doyle, Bridwell and Devlin. Bridwell
may be more valuable ball player
right now than Hauser, but on the
other hand, Honey lays over Merkle
like stake horse compared with a
selling platter.
Higgins is the best second baseman
in the National league for general
value to his club on his 1910 form,
but We'll admit for the sake of argu-
ment that Doyle is a better man than
Higgins on account of his youth and
superior hitting. Then comes Mowrey
and Deylin.
Here the shoe fits on the other foot,
Devlin was the premier third baseman
of baseball until 1910, when Byrne
and Mowrey gave him terrific tussle
for the honors. Over in New York
they still swear by Devlin; down in
Pittsburg they contend that Byrne is
the king of them all; but in the other
cities of the circuit they give the
crown to Mike Mowrey. Mike will
outhit Devlin and is surer man on
defense than Byrne. Then he is
young, conner. and will be playing
major league ball which Deviin is
through. A great many keen base.
ball men figure that McGraw has the
alright infieId of the National league
but compare the Giant combination
with the Cardinal stone wall, man fol
man, and then ask yourself fairly and
squarely if Honey alone isn't worth
any two men on the New York list?

President of Three / League Invites

Chicago, March 15.-The Waterloo,

of its fight to retain a place in the
Three I league.
Its victory was tacitly admitted
when Al Tearney, president of the

The Sentinel Post does not have

Senator Cummins, but in the fight he
has been making against the Canadian
reciprocity bin the Post believes he is
right and President Taft Is wrong 1t
hopes that it Is not such a hero wor-
shipper or hater that 1t can twist its
views to follow those of any individual
no matter how great There are a
plenty of men in Iowa who can switch
their views for or against any PROPOSE
| ton according as Senator Cummins
! gives the cue: and there are others so
prejudiced against him that they nat
urally oppose any measure that he
favors and favor any measure that he
opposes. The man who has no more
independence than that ought to be de-
prived Of the right of suffrage. He
does not know enough to vote. He is
just an echo.
| Senator Cummins does not believe in
high protection, but he is a protection
list in principle and believes the repre-
sentatives from Iowa should look out
for the chief interests OF the state
which are agricultural. To deprive
the farmers OF Iowa of protection and
at the same time keep high protection
on the products Of Pennsylvania and

TAFT HIS OWN BEST ADVISER.

President Taft asserts that the Dick
20 Dick letter story IS a "baseless
fabrication" says Charles P Taft is
not interested in Alaska transactions
and adds that Charles P. Taft has no
recollection that he ever met Ryan. Of
the Controller Railway and Navigation
Company. also he asserts that there is
nothing 70 show that this company is
connected with the Morgan Guggen-
helm combination
The presidents assertion as 70 the
''Dick" letter and his own sincerity of
purpose must be accepted at It's face
value. SO far as Charles P. Taft is
concerned, no doubt the president has
his brothers word for 1t, something fra
ternally satisfactory. AS regards the
Morgan -Guggenheimer interests and
the navigation company II may prop
erly be remembered that in cases where
ii is advisable for the NC. interests
to stay under cover there isn't usually
anything to show their Connection. The
Morgan -Guggenheimer sort of big bust
ness doesn't carry brass band when
il starts out deer hunting.
Mr.. Pinchot says that the Controller
bay lands Should never have been let
go, but held for the public They are
terminal lands, the key 20 the trans
portation situation. Ryan's mile and
haf harbor front right out of the mid
die of the key to the control OF land
and water shipping. Mr.. Pinchot is
right when he says these lands should
have been in fee by the government
and leased. not granted, 20 companies
and inviduals
The president, no doubt, is a we'll
meaning man He has had close friends
and advisers, however, in whom the
country has not complete confidence
Brother Charles will never be the idol
of the American people. The president
eeems to be working up TO the realiza-
ton that he Is his own best adviser and
that the troubles of his administration
have grown out of misplaced conf
dence.

MR.. TAFTs POSITION.

Sioux City Trtbune1.
Ar Taft felicitates himself his sec
rotary OF state and the country upon
the ratifca ton of the bargain with the
dominion. He makes frank acknow-
Judgement Of the valuable service rem
dered by the democrats in congress.
without which this one original policy
of his could have overcome repu blican
opposition.
He has accomplished that for which
he called congress in special session.
He has used with effect the great per-
suasive if not coercive power of his
office to carry his measure thru. He
did not hesitate to let it be known,
thru the usual unofficial channels. that
he would veto the bill should 1t be
changed in any particular. He thus
made sharp contrast between this
and his attitude toward the legislative
branch which he took in 1909 on the
tariff.
But his democratic aids were not
content with assisting him in getting
his Canadian bargain accepted. They
went farther along the path Of down.
ward tariff rates. They passed In the
, house a free list bill loaded with things
the farmer needs. They began their
| traditional revenue only policy by
making reduction Of the rates OF
the wool schedule which are not sharp
enough to hurt, with a promise of far
Their gradual reductions. These are
| pending in the senate. That body be-
gins the debate of the wool bill today
and will vote upon it next Thurs
day 1t will then take up the free list
bill and vote upon it on Aug. /.
Mr.. Taft presented the Canadian
agreement as measure that would
reduce the cost of living. The free list
and wool bills affect the cost of living
