there is another argument, an actual
concrete illustration, which answers
the senator. From whence is the
wheat to come to reduce the price
here? The claim made that It will
come from Canada. Very well, Win
nipeg is in the very heart of the Ca
madam wheatfields; it is the outpost
too. The writer has been watching
the price Of wheat at Winnipeg and
at Chicago as daily quoted in the
Kansas City Star, with other mark,
cts. And wheat has held right along
some two cents higher per bushel al
Winnipeg than at Chicago. What?
Yes, Just that. And there are several
hundred miles that wheat must ira
vel from Winnipeg to reach our mills
So that settled that point. But there
is a flour trust. Flour trust. Flour
will be no cheaper. Well, that is
not the fallt Of the tariff. And il
brings up the same question-shall
the government take the bread from
the poor mans child because If il
don't the trusts will. And who in
this Christian land, what Christian,
asks to. tax the bread of the poor
that he may reap a greater profit

ed, A large number have already
,signsd the. contracts, but a couple OF
shundred more are still needed before
the company will start work.
The company proposes to charge a
rate Of $3.50 per thousand cubic feet,
which, while greatly higher than the
natural gas sells for, it still fully as
cheap as coal, and has the added ad.
santiago Of cleanliness and conyen-.

The citizens generally should take
"a greater interest in the movement
and see that It is pushed to a sue

GARRETT.

The funeral of Fred Garrett, who
died here early Tuesday morning,
was held shere Tusday. There was a
prayer service at 10 O'Clock Thurs
day morning at the Garrett residence
northeast of town and a funeral
} service was conducted at the Presby-
teriAn church in Dodge City at 1:SO
O'Clock Thursday afternoon by DR.. ].
C.. Berger. The burial, service at Ma
PIE Grove cemetery was in charge Of
'.tne Masonic fraternity, of which Mr..
Garrett was'a member.
Fred Albert Garrett was born ON
August 10, 1872, at Bristow, Butler
county, Iowa. His fathers family
came to Kansas and settled on a gov
eminent homestead in Ness county
July IA, 1874. In 1898 Fred moved to
Barton county to make his home and
In November of the following year
he was married in that county near
the town of Heller to Miss Blanche
COss. To this union were born three
children, Fay, Frank and Harley, all
Of whom with the widow, survive.
Nj. Garrett came to Ford county
on August 10, 1912, and lived on his
own farm nine miles northeast q
Dodge City until the time Of his
death. He died january q, 1914, at
the age of Al years, five months and
eight days.
:. His early life was spent on the
O plains of western Kansas and Colo
RADIO. One year he spent in the
mines Of Montana. Later he was a
madhinist for the Merritt Creamery
company of Great Bend, and the re-
mainder of his life was devoted to
Che farm.
He was a man of high honor, deS-
.ptsed vain glory and empty show,
and priced sincerity above all vir-
tues. He did not belong to any church
organization, but always led the life
a a Christian and showed his prefer
Q ence for the Presbyterian faith.
s4sAls Fathers family was the second
white family to come to Ness county.
His parents, Uncle Frank and Aunt
Marian, as they were famiharly and
Sttectionately known in that pioneer
country, were highly respected by all
@eir wide acquaintance. His father
served as probate judge, county treas
nrer and postmaster for a number Of
years IN Ness county.

woods and let things go on as they
have. Clearly that is what the sena-
tor means; has to mean. If we are
to end the nefariOus practices of the
trusts then the argument, his argu-
ment fails. There will no longer ex-
list the argument that the government
may levy tribute because if it DON t
the trusts will do it. The country
is not disposed to follow the senator
to the woods. It proposes to prevent
the extortion of the trusts. 1t thinks
it knows how, and it thinks it has
found the men to do it, and it is
going to give them a fair chance.
Upon, the subject of wheat and
flour the senator Is equally unfortu-
nate. He bases his defense upon this
statement:
The result'-of the tariff bill-"is
a reduced price for the farmers
wheat but no reduction in the price
Of flour
Now, every informed man, every
man who can analyze the immutable
and unalterable laws Of trade, knows
that the price Of a commodity is fix
ed at the place where its surplus Isl
marketed; that thee price Of wheat
raised on this continent, whether
raised in the States, or in Canada, is
fixed in Liverpool. But there are
thousands who do not know this, and
