A few days ago the chamber OF

the high officials of the Santa re
railway and after the banquet repre-
,sentatives of Bartlesville, Pawhuska
and other towns held conference
with them and tried to interest them
in the building of an east and west
line from Joplin, Mo-, west through
Miami, Bartlesville and Pawhuska.
The officials stated that they had no
interest in such line and could not
consider it but had in contemplation
a line from Caney, Kansas, southwest
through Pawhuska to a junction with
the Oklahoma Eastern line at either
Ralston or iSkedee. This line will
probably be built at an early date and
means much to Guthrie, as it would
give this city another line to Kansas
City and eastern Kansas and bring
many more Santa Fe employees here.
The lines now being built in the
Gushing oil field connecting Cush-
ing, Drwmright, Oilton and Jennings
are also of special interest to Guth-

will have direct train service to all |

CANADIAN JURIST

Mohonk Lake. N. y, May 21.--The
attitude of the United States in the
present world crisis received high
praise today from William A. Weir,
justice of the supreme court Of the
Province of Quebec, at the Lake Mo
honk conference on International
Arbitration. "If there be one thing"
he said, that has caught the atten-
ton of the thinkers of the world more
than another in these unhappy months,
lit Is the clear, intelligent comprehen-
sion by the citizens of this republic
of the causes and incidents of the
caamitous events that are taking
place in Europe. and the calm wisdom
Of your government in its relations
thereto.
Several times in the past eight
months, the interests Of the United
States have necessitated diplomatic
protest and Intervention to safeguard
your rights as neutrals. but such dip
lomatic action, while always strong
and dignified, has ever been fair,
courteous and in accord with the rules
of international law, and showed due
consideration Of the unparalleled con
ditions of the present mighty struggle.
The actions of your government have
been sustained by the intelligent
judgment of the mass OF your printed
and of your citizens"
Justice Weir also praised the hui
efforts of American, "The
gratitude of the stricken hero soldier,
he said. "of widowed mothers and
children in every section of
Europe creates a new
halo round Old Glory that the coming
centuries will never dim"
His theme was Democracy and |

their nobility, their military classes
and their materialistic plutocrats has
