Buffalo Heard From.

To Mr.. Tom Watson:
The undersigned citizens OF Buffalo
and OF the United States, wish TO as.
sure you OF their complete sympathy
with you In your crusade against the
assumptions OF the Roman Catholic
church and particularly In the matter
OF the action against you, at the insti.
cation OF that church by the federal
authorities.
This evident claim OF the Roman
church TO pose as a purely religious
organization and to be beyond criti.
cism, while. In its own Jesuitical way.
Il is constantly seeking TO gain DO.
ttical and social power. Is only history
repeating itself The Protestant peo.
pie OF this. and other countries. are
surely realizing now that Rome never
changes, and we welcome Just such
prosecutions as this against you as
means OF arousing them completely
from their lethargy. and to a
full realization Of Just what Rome has
constantly been working for. Rome
wants nothing but freedom" freedom
from the operation Of every law but
that OF Rome and freedom from crit.
icism OF their very act.
Only once more has the great
blunderer." our president. done the
wrong thing at the wrong time, in his
submission to the Catholic minority In
their assumption Of a position and con.
troll to which they are not entitled.
an assumption which seeks 10 glve
them a standing beyond the operation
of our laws and TO separate them as a
peculiar people subject only TO Rome.
Feeling as We do. We wish 20 as
sure you OF our moral and material
support, and TO say TO you that We are
ready, as far as We are able. 20 con.
tribute financially to a fund for your
defense in this action which, 20 US, IS
nothing more than a thinly veiled ef.
fort by the Roman church to prevent
the publication OF truth and facts
which the authorities OF that church
know would be fatal to them.
Signed by over q hundred loyal
friends Of Watson In Buffalo, N. Y.

THIRTY MILLION A YEAR
How Railroads Would Benefit by Ex-
press Company Change.

Washington, Feb. 29.-In a statement
given Wednesday at the investiga-
ton of rates and methods of express
companies before the interstate COM
merce commission, it was indicated by
Frank Lyon, attorney for the commits
sion, that the change from a tonnage
to a percentage basis of settlement be-
tween the express companies and the
railroads would benefit the railroads to
the extent of approximately $4,000
600 a year.
NJ T. Jones, traffic manager of the
United States Express company, con-
sidered with Commissioner Lane a
tentative form for an express bill of
Iading suggested by Mr. lane. 1t was
objected to by Mr.. Jones because it
would require every wagon driver to
quote rates
THAT is just the point said Com
missioner Lane. I'VE want express
rates so simplified that anybody can
understand them"
Mr. Jones declined to commit him
self to the proposed bill before he had
had time carefully to consider it.

schedule at least one game and per-
haps two to be played before the h
IT. game It is proba BILE that Camp
bell college will play here September
% and for October Coach Scherer
expects to play the Haskell Indians
November 2 is also an open date at
this time but il is practically assured
that the Warrensburg Normals will be
at Baldwin for q game on that date
Baker will again go to Denver to meet
the Denver university team there
This game is one Of the biggest of the
Baker schedule and is one of the best
paying games from a financial stand
point The schedule includes games
with two of the strongest teams of
the Topeka conference, Emporia
college and Paramount. Games with
these two schools will practically de-
eide the college state championship.
Coach Scherer has prospects for a
strong team next year.
The schedule as completed to date
is:
oct 12-Kansas university at Law

in the northern division and conse-
quently the two games this week
should be interesting. although they
will have no direct bearing on the
conference title. The two scheduled
contests are mere practice games. Ne
braska defeated Kansas twice early in
the season. but it is generally recog-
nized that the JayhaWkers are playing
a far different brand of ball now.
After the tangles this week three
games to decide the conference title
win be scheduled between Kansas and
Nebraska One of them will prob
ably be played in Lincoln, one in
Lawrence and the other in Kansas
City.
