Why They Won't Return.
Replying to an editorial by w. r.
Morgan to the effect that the Kansas.
Progressives would have supported
Bristow and Capper had they remain
ed in the Progressive party, William
Allen White tells of the stand of the
Kansas MoOsers in the following edf-
torial:
1.-THE esteemed but highly harmon
lied Hutchinson News demands that
the, Progressives Of Kansas support
Bristow and Capper because Bristow
and Capper would have been chosen
for senator and governor if they had
not decided to run in the Republican
primaries. The great trouble with the
News and papers likeSit, is that they
don't look straight at q proposition. It
Is true that Bristow and Capper were
first loves. But when they were our
first loves they were not runninggo on a
ticket loaded down with lot of stand
pat candidates for congress. In every
congressional district in Kansas, and
in most OF the counties. and on the
state ticket are a lot Of standpatters
OF the rankest type. Bristow and
Capper, by running on the Republican
ticket, are bound to support and help
these standpatters. who no more agree
with Bristow and Capper than the
Democrats. Why. then, after having
entered the standpat allisnce, should
PrOgressives vote for men who are
willing to trade their support Of stand
patters for votes? 1t isn't square, 1t
is not clean politics, and the Progress
sives will not do it. It's all right to
yearn for your first love. But after
she's eloped with a cheap sport, sold
our ring for junk, and then TOPPED it
on by kicking us downstairs, we are
not going to come where our love lies
dreaming with any noticeable, alac-
rity.' i'a~

situation as it faces Kansas Republi-
cans. the Tribune says:

day and prices barely changed from last
weeks close. afteF an early rise and sub
sequent reaction.s settlement of the New

port and an increase in freight move

GENTLY broad to maintain prices.
Traders who covered on the rise late
last night put out new lines when 1t be-
came apparent that the market had lost

a better showing than other stocks owing
to the increased demand and higher prices

Favor Water Power Bill

Washington, May 15.-The admin
istration water power bill was re-
ported favorably by the house public
lands committee. 1t would author
ize the secretary of the interior to
grant leases for water power rights
on the public domain, fixing royal
ties and imposing restraints to pre-
vent monopoly. In states that have
no public utility commissions, the
secretary would be empowered to
make regulations to insure fair rates
to consumers.
Chairman Ferris of the public lands
committee, had a letter today from
President Wilson in which the latter
said he favored action at this session
if possible, on the water power bill.

Helena, May 15.-The state railroad
commission today was advised by the
interstate commerce commission that
a hearing at which complaints against
the increase of rates on cattle and
sheep from western points to eastern
markets, proposed by western roads.
are to be heard, will be held in Sioux
Falls, S. d.. May 18, before a special
examiner of the federal commission.

increase rates on sheep $2.40 per car
and on cattle $4.40 per car.
After the increase was announced
by the railroads in the cattle and
sheep states of the west, the Montana
railroad commission telegraphed a
protest on behalf of Montana, which
was a part of general protest from
commissions all over the west against
the proposed advance in rates.

in the west are affected by the hear
ing. The Montana commission has
induced a number of stockmen of the
state to attend.

time in the worlds history, water
borne traffic is now passing through
the Panama canal according to the
reports that have been received at
the headquarters of the Panama rail-
road in New York forwarded here
today.
Though confirmation of the report
has not yet reached the Washington
Office of the isthmian canal commits
sion, it is known that ample provision
had been made by Colonel Goethals
for the institution of water service,
limited at first strictly to barges, be-
ginning not later than May 10.

REBELS TAKE TAMPICO
Mexican City Captured After Long
And Desperate FiQht

Washington, May 13.-Tampico,
the Mexican east coast seaport, sec.
ond in Importance only to Vera Cruz
was stormed and captured by the
constitutionalists today. The federal
garrison of several thousand men, af-
ter withstanding q three-day bonn.
bardment, were driven out of the city.
and were reported to have retreated
by rail toward San Luis Potosi, hop
ing to effect a junction with a line
reaching into Mexico City.
Advices at the navy department
were that the federals fought every
inch of the way before giving up the
city, but it is considered possible
that some of the fighting may have
been in the nature of rear guard
action, holding the constitutionalists
at bay while the garrison entrained.
When the city was hopelessly lost,
the federal gunboats Bravo and Ear
agonza, which had shelled the con-
stitutionalist lines without effect, fed
from their positions in the Panuco
river, and took shelter under the guns
of foreign warships lying in the har-
bor.
Constitutionalist leaders were elat-
ed over the capture of the town
which gives them possible access to
munitions of war. They also assert
ed that work in the oil fields might
now be resumed with full operation.
This declaration followed state
ment from Secretary Daniels that he
would not use the navy for police
force to guard the Tampico fields,
and assurances from the president to
oil producers that, as soon as the pos
session of the town was established
he would make vigorous representa-
tions for the protection Of lives and
property.

Would Abolish Canal Tolls

Washington, May Ex-senator
Thomas, democrat, of Colorado, an.
nounced to the senate that he felt
himself bound by the platform to sup
port exemption of American coastwise
vessels from Panama canal tolls. He
said he was bound to concede that
the leaders of his party knew as
much about the tolls question at the
time of the Baltimore platform adop-
ton as today, and that the tolls ex-
emption plan was meant to be taken
seriously.
The senator said he did not regard
the exemption as a subsidy and con-
sistent with the anti-subsidy plank.
He rssgea the adoption of his resolu'
tion providing for the exemption ol

Train Robbers Get Nothing

Spokane, May 15.-Ohicial inspect.
ors and special agents Of the Great
Northern railway are searching In the
vicinity of Rondo, Mont, for two men
who tagged the Oriental Limited
early today, blew open the combina-
ton baggage and mail car, and es.
capped without obtaining mail of value.
The bandits, believed to be for.
eigners, stopped the train soon after
it left Rexford, Mont. Conductor w.
H. Price was forced to uncouple the
car and Engineer Stout was compell-
ed to run his engine and the car al
most to Rondo, where the robbers,
failing to open the doors, blew one
of them off with dynamite, after hav-
ing riddled the car with pistol shots,
thinking the mail clerk was inside
and refused to open the door.
Once inside the car, the bandits
found nothing but newspaper mail,
the registered pouches having been
forwarded on the fast mail several
hours previously.
Benjamin Stumpf, the mail clerk
as soon as he heard the robbers, lock-
ed the doors of the car, and with the
baggageman left the car on the oppo-
site side from the robbers and hid in
bushes. This was Stumpf's third ex.
perience with bandits, and prior to
leaving the car he secreted the i'm
portant mail.

Would Stop Tipping Nuisance

Ottawa. Cont, May 14.-The bill
making the tipping and the taking of
tips an indictable offense passed the
senate committee of the whole prac-
tically without dissent. The bill was
introduced some time ago by Senator
Davis, westerner, and at first ex.
cited much ridicule. Then sunddenly
a widespread demand for the pas.
sage of the bill sprang up with the
result that it had been rushed
through the committee which means
that it will pass the senate and be
sent to the house committee for con.
currence.
The bill makes it an offense pun.
ishable by fine of 500 to give or
take a tip and makes the employer
equally liable to the fine.

Advice to Newspaper Men

Lawrence, KAN, May 14.-The news
paper profession is as sacred call
ing as the ministry, in the opinion of
DR.. Washington GLADDEN. of Columbus,
O., as expressed in an address made
by the preacher and former editor be-
fore hundreds of newspaper men at
the National Newspaper conference,
conducted by the University of Kan
sas.
DR.. GLADDEN. condemned what he re-
ferred to as tendency of some news
papers toward "habits of exaggera-
tion" and the exploitation of crime,
vice and scandal. He outlined four
great tasks for American journalism,
in the performance of which he said
it might aid in purifying and invigor-
ating public opinion.
First, to teach people to avoid ex-
aggeration and violent speech and to
cultivate moderate and rational modes
of expression.
Second, to resist the tendencies
which substitute the mob mind for the
deliberate habit.
Third, to hold the popular judgment
firmly to the truth that character and
manhood and not money and popular
ity are the central value of human
existence.
Fourth, to turn the thoughts of
men more and more from the negative
virtue of discerning and praising the
good.

Railroad Loses Suit

Washington, May 1S.-The court
of claims today in test case decision
blasted the hopes of mail-carrying
railroads for the collection of large
sums based ON claim that the govern.
ments mail weighing system results
in under payment to the roads. The
court in an opinion by Chief Justice
Campbell, dismissed the petition of
the Chicago and Alton railroad for
$S3,604. The railroad contended that
the average weekly weighing of mail
allowed compensation for only about
six-sevenths of the matter really car
ried by the railroads.
