HOW TARIFF law
HITS KANSAS
Republican State Central Commit
tee Makes Statement
FLOOD OF FOREIGN FooDsruFF
Under New Law, Imports OF Pro-
ducts that Kansas Farms Pro-
duce Increase with Great
Rapidity

Topeka. March 5.-The Republi
can state central committee yester
day issued a statement as to tn,
results Of the new tariff law on Kan
sas and the market for Kansas pro
ducts. The statement. in part:
Distinctively and primarily Kan
sas is a food and foodstuff produc,
ing state.
Bear that In mind for a minute
Now consider the following: There
was a total increase of thirty and
one half millions of dollars of i'm
ports In December. 1918, over De-
cember, 1912, and of this increase
just about eighteen millions of dol
lars is in foods Of one kind or an
other.
There is the effect of the Demo-
cratic tariff bill on the Kansas
farmers market in just about fifty
words. There is a text that sticks
out like sore thumb when you are
trying to thread a needle.
And to get it still right down
closer home, $12,279,54S of that
increase in importattions for on
foodstuffs in crude condition and
food animals-just what the Kansas
farmer raises.
Here is another squad of anthem
tic figures, which drives home like
a battering ram the fact that free
trade is simply flooding the Amer
lean market with European food
exactly the same thing
that the Kansas farmer raises. For
example, take the last three months
of 1912 and the last three months
of 1918. In the former we import
ed 10000 cattle; in the latter
BAL, 900. In the former we brought
in $4,000 bushels of corn; in the
latter 4,450,0O0 bushels of corn. In
the former we brought in 1860
bushels of oats; in the latter 49,
100000 bushels of oats. In the last
three months of 1912 we brought
In $4,000 pounds of fresh meat;
In the last three months of ir913 we
brought in 33,5OO.OOO pounds of
'resh meat. In the last three months
# 1912 we brought in not quite
1000 bushels of potatoes; in the
asst three months of 1913 we
in 2,sSO.OOO bushels of
otatoes.
Look at the array of staggering
Increases on cattle, corn, oats, fresh
neat, potatoes some of the big !
taples Of Kansas-some of our !
hief prosperity makers. Isn't that
Inclusive evidence that the Dem
Gratis have simply given our mar .
cts free gratis over to the foreign

o United Colonies
By REV. THOMAS B. GREGORY.

1.-TWO hundred and seventy
years ago was formed the
New England Confed
eracy." between Massachusetts,
Plymouth, Connecticut and New
Haven-an association of very
great significance in our coun-
try's history.
Scarcely had the New Eng
land colonies been planted when
it was found that there had to
be between them some sort of
united action, and in 1913 the
four colonies mentioned entered
into a league which they styled
THE United Colonies of New
England, or as it later on came
TO be called The New England
Confederacy." At this time the
four little States contained thir-
ty-nine towns, and a population
of $4,000. 1t may be said that
the Confederacy had a life of
forty one years duration-from
164S to 1884, during which time
it served many useful ends and
fully justified it's being.
1t is~Avith the historical inn
portance of the Confederacy.

the Continental Congress one

the Union of the Constitution
hundred and sixteen years. Nor
was there any misunderstanding
the spirit of that first confed-
eracy. They did not ask the
King to permit them to form the
confederacy. They went to work
and formed it of their own free
accord, thus virtually declarins
their independence-in local
matters. at least-of Great Bri-
tain and her Government, a very
strong hint that sooner or later
independence would be declared
all around the circle.
1t is quite likely that at the
time of the formation of the New
England Confederacy no one in
England or in the colonies
thought of what was com
in in 1875, but we. living
long after the event. are able to

TIME final proof of greatness
lies in being able to endure
contumely without resent
ment. For to-day there is les
son in the letter of Lincoln to
Major General Hooker.
Hooker had harshly and un-
justly criticised Lincoln. his COM
mander- chief, and he had en-
barrassed Burnside, his ranking
officer. But Lincoln waived all
this in Difference to the virtues
that he believed Hooker possess
ed and promoted him to succeed
Burnside. Lincoln wrote:
Here is the letter:
I must fear that the spirit you
have aided to infuse into the ar
my, of criticising their COM
mander and Withholding conf
dence from him, will now turn
upon you. | shall assist you as
far as / can to put it down.
But neither you nor Napoleon,
if he were alive again, could get
any good out of an army while
such a spirit prevails in it. And
now beware of rashness; beware
of rashness, but with energy and
sleepless vigilance go forward and
give us victories"
One point in this letter is espe-
cially worth our consideration. VI
refer to the habit of sneering,
carping, grumbling and CRITICS.
fng.
The man who is anybody and
who does anything is surely going
to be criticised, vilified and mis-
understood. This is part of the
penalty for greatness, and every
great man understands it-and
understands. too. that it is no
proof of greatness.
Not long ago ! met ? Yale stu

sure he did not represent the true
Yale spirit. for he was full of
criticism and bitterness toward
the institution. President Hadley
came in for his share, and I was
supplied items. facts, data, with
times and places, for peach of
a roast"
Very soon | saw the trouble
was not with Yale; the trouble
was with the young man. He had
mentally Gweit on some trivial
Sights until he had got so out of
harmony with the institution that
he had lost the power to derive
any benefit for it. Yale is not a

most Yale men are quite willing
to admit But Yale does supply
certain advantages, and it de-
ponds upon the students whether
they will avail themselves of these
advantages or not.
If you are a student in a col
lege. seize upon the good that is
there. You get good by giving it.
You gain by living-so give SYM
patty and cheerful loyalty to the
institution Be proud of it. Stand

the best they can. If the place
is faulty. make it a better place
by an example of cheerfully doing
your work every day the best you
can. Mind your own business.
