Passengers on the Tuesday morning
west-bound train going through the
Black Canon between Cimarron and Cur
reconti saw, floating in an eddy of the
Gunnison river. the body of the missing
express messenger, Matthews
For some time after the wreck on
March /, trainmen sought the body in
vain, and finally decided that it was
hopeless; the body would never be found.
They think now that it must have
lodged under ice and driftwood for some
time and with melting SHOWS and the
rising of the river the body was loosened
and fioated down.
When seen, Tuesday morning. it was
about six miles below the scene of the
wreck and about one half mile east of
Dead Mans Point.
Immediate steps were taken for the
recovery of the body.
That same afternoon at 2:30, NJ. E.
Walsh. Curricanu section foreman,
made daring sally through the strong
current to the body on the opposite side
of the river. Having attached it firmly
to wire he towed It to shore, where it
was taken to Cimarron en- handcar.
The feat was rather remarkable one
AS the rapids at that point are very
dangerous, and the only boat available

Walsh handled the boat skillfully. and
although onlookers held their breath as

Champion.
Opinions varied IS to the proper mini
mum price to ask for these lots, some
trustees figuring as low as s400 for the
Main street property from which the
ruins Of the former town hall were re-
Gently removed. and others placing it
at $500. An average was struck at 5000,
and some believe this price will be very
much increased at the auction.
There was an executive session at
which the trustees discussed the sugges-
tions Of site for new town hall.
The corner in front of McAfee's barn,
the Gum corner on Tomichi avenue and
others were presented. Also the fine
levied on certain young men about town
who had become obstreperous and dis
turbed social gatherings at the Normal
was compromised.
/. Town officers were elected by formal
ballots, which were taken to confirm
the slate already prepared. F. d. Van
AIKEN was reelected town treasurer by
q unanimous vote; Frank keenan, super
intendant Of the light and water plant;

ton Of Superintendent keenan,. Matty

perfectly satisfactory to him. Never
the less. one of the trustees baked,
for on each of the three propositions of
elect,ng Mr.. Whipp. first as clerk, then
as marshal and third as health officer;

COLUMBIA, VIA THE SANTA FE

Steps should be taken at once il
Columbia to determine the response
bility for the recent announcement
that the Santa Fe Railroad would en-.
ter st. Louis over new tracks built
from Carrollton to Mexico, thence to
the metropolis over the Burlington
The possibility of the new road touch
ing Columbia is evident.
A main line railroad with through
freight and passenger service to the
East and West has ever been Colum-
bias greatest need. Located in the
exact center of Boone County, the
town misses the main line of the roads
to the north because of a hundred
mile bend i'm the Missouri River. The
roads to the south hug the river, leav
ing Columbia, like Fayette in Howard
County and Fulton in Galloway, high
and dry at the mercy of branch line
time tables.
An air line from Carrollton to st.
Lotis, crossing the river at some point
south of the Wakenda prairie and
again at Glasgow, the line touching
the county seats of three of the Oldest
yet most progressive counties in Mis-
souri,, none of which now has a main
line road, would open up territory rich
in traffic and freight production.
Should the Santa Fe build its tracks
clear into ST. Louis, the possibility for
the line touching Columbia would be
more likely than if the line is con-
structed only to Mexico. 1t seems
probable that a great railroad system
like the Santa Fe, in establishing its
connection with the fourth largest
city of the country, would do so over
its own tracks.
For nearly a quarter of century
rumors upon rumors have had it that
the Santa Fe would enter St Louis.
Whether the present announcement
is made upon authority is not known
in Columbia, but it is worthy of inves-
tigation. Even the slightest chance to
obtain through railroad line for the
town should not be overlooked.

JUSTICE, NOT CHARITY

Henry Ford has demolished another
cherished theory. Women employees
of the Ford Motor Company will
henceforth receive the same minimum
wage as men. The wage is IS a day
Economists and social scientists
have been busy demonstrating that
women should really not receive the
same wage as men, since that would
promote dissension in the family,
lower the birth rate, lowers mems
wages and do several other things
which would undermine the estab-
lished foundations of society. Manu-
facturers have pleaded that a $5-a-
day wage would upset the industrial
world. Henry Ford calmly does the
impossible.
A few years ago industrial scientists
told the man from Detroit than 5000
men was the largest possible indus
trial unit. Ford employs 10000. They
told him his profit-sharing plan
would make him bankrupt; the year
ending July 81 showed a net profit
of s6O,OOO,OO0. They jeered at the
idea of usable car that would sell
at $500, and now Ford proposes that
cars be sold for s1OO. They told
each other that big business could
not be done without borrowed capi-
tai; the banks pay the Ford Motor
Company interest on deposits.
+ In all these matters Henry Ford
has answered in great part the mod
ern industrial problem by the mere
recognition of facts, not theories. He
pretends no charity. He admits that
were all employers to carry out his
plans he might have difficulty in his
own plant. But to all the doubling
Thomases he points to his profits as
proof of. the sound economics of his
business conduct.
An eight-hour day for men and wo-
men with minimum wages of SIS a day
is Henry Ford's contribution to this
century's economics. Industrial equali-
ty is his contribution to the cause of
franchise for women. The living pic
ture of the inspired business man is
his contribution toward peace in the
warfare between labor and capital.

A JEREMIAH TO JUDGMENT

Few more engaging popular lectur-
ers came under any auspices to the
University than DR.. H. H. Powers.
None is heard by larger or more in
terested audiences. His lectures con-
tain much information attractively
presented. They contain more imagi-
nation and prophecy Withal, and de-
spite their rather too dazzling style,
they are provocative of sober thought
on the tremendous world problems
that confront America today.
, But Doctor Powers is in many of his
conclusions dead wrong.
War is not better than peace. Else
duelling personal battle to settle
questions Of honor-should be re-
stored in the land and the biggest
fighter among the nations would furn-
ish forth the most civilized communi-
ty. Modern medicine has abandoned
bleeding as a cure for disease.
Tomorrow is not necessarily the
same as yesterday. The centuries
show progress. The world is not shut
up in the jaws of a grim geographic,
or even racial, fatalism. Ideas, not
armor plate, govern.
The right of self-government is not
a thing of the past nor even for the
white race alone. The Filipinos are
not condemned to perpetual political
servitude because they are brown and
wear somewhat less clothing in Ma
nila than good taste dictated in Bos-
ton yesterday. Japan is not waiting
ready to steal the Pacific Ocean as

racy is not dead-nor merely a local
issue.
The Devil-German or otherwise
has not a sure thing on the United
States, even if we do not link up with
Great Britain to boss the rest of man
kind. 1t isn't necessary or desirable
in order to make progress that the
world should be thrown into a receiv-

self-appointed receiver-fees included
and fixed by the receiver. The Anglo

.Napoleon In His Own Words.c


This work translated from the
French of Jules Bertaut by H. E. Law
and C. L. Rhodes, is an interesting
compilation of aphorisms by the great
Napoleon. The compilation, which
contains Napoleons views on such
subjects as politics and administra-
ton, his opinions on love, marriage
and women, and what he said about
the things he did, plus the reasons
he gave for doing them, is made from
his published works and his public
utterances. In these pages he reveals
the diverse aspects of his complex
mentality-his greatness and his fail
ings. his wonderful genius for CO.
ordination or accomplishment and his
sad lack of profound convictions of
duty or obligation or right. The work
is not only valuable addition to Ma
poloneic literature; it is also of great
general interest.
