SEES UNION PACIFIC EXTENSION



Line to Start There.
Mcpherson, Kan, Jan. 28.-En-
thusiastic employees Of the Union Pa
cific railroad between Mcpherson and
Salina and railroad men Of other lines
to have an outlet to the Gulf by the
way Of Mcpherson and Wichita, tap
ping the main line of the Union Pa
cific at Sa1ina- The story goes that
the Union Pacific is to purchase the
Missouri, Oklahoma & Gulf road,
which is now in the hands of a re-
ceiver, a Southern Pacific line. This
would give direct line to Texas
points from the Union Pacific at Sa-
lima via Mcpherson and Wichita. using
the Midland Valley as the direct line.
Union Pacific has been considering
the Midland Valley ever since it was
built and it is said that last year an
effort was made to buy 1t and the
Midland Valley was willing to sell,
but the prive was considered too high.
When the Midland Valley was extend
ed from Arkansas City to Wichita the
surveyors did not stop at Wichita but
continued to survey through to this
city, connecting as it were with the
terminus of the Union Pacific. It is
further stated that two years ago
representatives of the Union Pacific
made a trip over the entire line of
the Midland Valley and filed a report
with the directors of the road. Such
a connection as Is reported in con-
temptation would give Salina, McPher-
son and Wichita boom as grain mar
kets as 1t would tap section in Texas

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.

Florence McCOOk, EditOr-tn-Ch1e1
School opened Monday after the
spring vacation. The attendance
was very good, very few being out
on account Of sickness. During the
vacation period everything in the
building was given q thorough
scrubbing with a disinfectant soap.
The rooms also were fumigated.
New seats have been put in the
sixth grade. Both seat and desk are
adjustable and can be fitted exactly
to the size of the pupil. The teach
ers' desks which have been made
by the high school Manual Training
class have also been put into some
of the rooms. The boys are now
working on teachers chairs which
we hope to have finished by the
time we get into 'he new building.
Classes will not be moved into the
new building until September, as
there are a number of things to be
done by the carpenters and plumb
ers before everything will be COM
pleted. a..
A large number Of new records
have been bought for the Victrola.
They include choruses, solos, vio-
lin selections and band numbers, all
of which are among the best to be
had. This will give the pupils an
opportunity to hear the greatest
singers of the world and it is hop
ed will help to develop a taste for
what is really ooo in the line Of
music. r
This year the Senior class will
present "Endymion" for their class
play. This a Greek play based up
on the ancient Greek legend con-
concering the prince Endymion. II
will be presented upon the high
school campus, making the play
more realistic, as the settings and
incidents are laid out-of-doors.

average of prices for the past month
have been nearly 9 cents higher than
for the corresponding period in 1913.
The Times makes no claim that these
higher prices are the result of the
Democratic tariff revision. We believe
now, as we believed through all the
years v hen the robber ia riff prevailed,
that the prices of things That the
American farmer mad to sell was de.
termined by the world market and
would neither be increased or dimin,
ished by protective duties. The mar
ket quotations prove that this belief
was correct. They. also prove the Re.
publican claim that the prosperity OF
the farmer. was due Ito the
tariff TO be utterly false
and without foundation. They
prove that the calamity bowling of the
Carroll Herald and papers of its sort
has no warrant in fact. They prove
that the statements made as to the
disastrous effect of the new tariff law
are utterly and maliciously false.
Never again should the Iowa farmer
permit himself to be misled by the false
and delusive claim that be is a
beneficiary Of the protective policy and
that the removal Of the duties on such
things as he. produces would diminish
the returns from his farm. He should
know from this time fort thath the pre-.
tense of protection to the farmer is
only designed to secure his support to
a policy that raises the price of every
manufactured article that he buys,
while it cannot enhan.e the price of
the things he has to sell
MANUFACTURED GOODS COMING DOWN.
While the farmer is selling his own
produce at as high or higher prices
than he received under the old Repub-
lican tariff. the price of manufactured
goods have begun to fall under the in
fluence of world competition. Sugar
is a notable example of this. The
wholesale price OF sugar one day last
week was 4.65 per hundred weight.
Last year it was as high as $3.50 and
there have been times, when the de-
mand was exceptionally great, as dur
ing the fruit season, when it was close
to 50 90 per hundred. In the great
eastern cities the prices of dry goods
and clothing have already dropped ma
terially and the purchasers of such
goods are realizing the benefit that
the tariff reduction bring to them.
These are sad facts for the calamity
bowler to contemplate but they are
nevertheless the facts.-The Carroll
Times. ..-.

The Panama Canal Record.

While waiting for the senate to fol.
low the lead of the house in Ithe mat
ter of Panama canal tolls. it may be
we'll to point out once more that the
principle of equal treatment to citizens
and ships of all nations has been in.
grained from the first in all treaties,
negotiations and concessions dealing
with the great isthmian route.
In 1886, the United States negotiat.
ed treaty with Columbia then called
"New Grenada. President Polk in
formed congress that this treaty was
made Ito secure to all nations EQUAL
rights Of passage over the isthmus."
In 1850 was signed the Clayton. Bull.
wer treaty with Great Britain. This
treaty made England and the United
States partners in any canal that might
be built across the isthmus, and spe-
officially stated that this partnership
was undertaken for the purpose of in.
snring equal treatment to all nations
when such canal was finished.
In 1873, Colombia granted to French
company concession to build the
Panama canal. That concession con-
tains the following provision:
All vessels are at liberty to pass with
out any distinction, exclusion or pref
paying the dues and observing the reg.
- h<<l 60 ho nE ho
said canal and its appurtenances.
In 1902, the United States govern
ment bought this concession. still con-
tanning the pledge of equal treat
ment quoted above.
In 1901, the United States concluded
the Hay Pauncefote treaty with En-
gland In this treaty, Great Britain
gave up her right to joint control OF
the canal, secured to her by the Clay
ton Bulwer document, and asked in
return only that the United States
should pledge itself to treat ships of
all nations alike. The United States
gave the required pledge in these words:
The canal shall be free and open to
the vessels of commerce and of war of
of all nations on terms of en-
tire equality, so that there shall be no
against any such nation
or its citizens or subjects in respect to
the conditions or CHARGES of traffic,
or otherwise.
In 1903. the United States acquired
the canal zone from Panama by treaty,
and to this treaty was attached dec
laration that the big ditch should be
managed in conformity with the Hay
Pauncefote agreement.

them. Their choice was as wise as it
was patriotic. Chicago Journal.
