The Herald has not s.,oken of

The Herald has not sI,oken of
the farmers congress at Guy
mon for the simple reason that
the local news of the county has
crowded out editorial matter of
a general nature. The congress
convened today for two-days
session, and it Is believed that
good will result from the selec-
tion of Il dry-land town for the
holding of the congress; which
reminds us, that no better loca-

selected for one of these meet

Congressman Keating's Letter,

The democratic party has no
apology for it's attitude on the
Panama canal tolls question. 1t
will net shrink from the issue
and it does not fear the peoples
verdict. 1t stands four-square
behind the president and
unequivocally indorses his posi-
ton as he stated it in his last
message to Congress: I'VE con-
sented to the treaty; it's language
we accepted, if we did not orig
mate it, and we are too great, too
powerful, too self-respecting a
nation to interpret with TOO
strained or refined a reading the
words of our own promises just
because we have power enough
TO give US leave to read them as
we please. The large thing to
do is the anly thing we can af-
ford to do.'
The Hay-Pauncefote treaty
was ratified as a substitute for
all existing treaties betN cen the
United States and England
touching the canal.
Rule one article two of the
Hay-Pauncefote treaty stands
thus:
"The canal shall be free and
open, in time of war as in time
of peace, to the vessels OF com
merce and war of all nations, on
terms of entire equality, so that
there will be no discrimination
against any nation or it's citizens
or subjects in respect of the
conditions or charges of traffic
or otherwise"
Congressional Investigation
has revealed the fact that the
shipping trust and the trans
continental railroads are on the
best of terms; and that if we
are to secure lower freight rates
as the result of the opening of
the canal, additional and very
drastic legislation must be en-
acted. Experts have proven
|9hat the cost of carrying freight
from the Atlantic to the Pacific
coast by water-Wlth the maxi
mum canal toll addsd-will be
one third less than the cost of
transferring it by rail across the
continent. So it is not neces-
sary to remit the toll in order to
enable our ships to compete
with our railroads. Free tolls
do not mean lower freight IA tes
but they do mean increased div
idends for the Shipping Trust.

Mary and Her Lamb

Mary had a little lamb,
Whose fleece was slightly curled:
They used to sit down side by
side,
And read and read the Herald.
She took the lamb to school
one day,
And the paper there unturled;
Ii made the teacher laugh and
play,
Cause the lamb it read the
Herald.
And SO the children turned it
out,
But still it fingered near,
And butted al, of them about,
Till the teacher did appear
When into him it fairly flew,
And about him whirled and
whirled,
And as it butted him it said,
please take the Springfield
Herald. "
II will, l will, l surely WILL"
The teacher made reply.
I'VE all will take the Herald too. ;"
The children then did cry.
Then Mary laughed till she
most died,
And took down every name;
And the lamb it laug he'd and IL
most cried.
At the way they worked the
game.
How do they get subscribers
so?"
Heaved the teacher with a sigh,
AS carefully he rubbed his shins,
And as carefully his thigh.
30, people like the Herald you
know,
IN they like the Herald plan;
An the lamb and Mary like it
TOO, J,
IN that's how the matter am.
"Of course, of course tits plain
indeed,
The teacher laughing said,
"The people ought the Herald tc
read
But the lamb-I wish twas
dead.
M then they all laughed long
and hard,
IN gave three long cheers to
gether;
And all agreed upon the fact,
Twas very pleasant weather. "
