seven feet in diameter and one hun
dred feet or more in length. Creosote
oil is run into the cylinders and pres
sure is then applied to force it into

tanned in the manufacture Of coke

with the grain vertical, so that the
most wear-resistant surface is eX-
posed and usually on a concrete foun-

paving pitch or asphalt which binds
the many separate pieces into one

Chancellor's Change of Tone.

In striking contrast to his previous utter
ances while the has been in progress was
the last address of Imperial Chancellor Won
Bethmann-Hollweg to the Reichstag The
naughty attitude of the conqueror offering i'm
possible terms OF peace to be accepted or re-
jected without parley was no longer evident, and
the tone of the chancellor was rather one Of
desperation, il not resignation. Before he told
OF German triumphs Of the blows falling upon a
beaten foe that nadly insisted upon ann hation,
rather than submission to what Germany offered
In his last speech he dwelt upon Germanys
ability to withstand blows and to continue fight
ing against armies and starvation
My belief in my people and my love for nv
people, he said, gives me a conviction Arm as a
rock that shall fight and conquer as we
have fought and conquered hitherto. Our enc

neither death devil, not even the hunger
devil which they wish to send into our country.
The men who fight out there around Verdun,
who fight under Hndenburg our proud blue
jackets who showed Albion that rats bite, are

He spoke, too at length and regretfully OF the

Mr.. Crisp, whom the House chose
Speaker, was OF the silver group within
his party, but felt bound, as the party
official leader in matters of legislation, to
give the President all the support the
authority Of the speakership could afford.
Mr.. Cleveland asked for a single, specInc
act of relief the repeal Of the purchasing
clause OF the Sherman Act Of 1890, and
Mr.. Crisp held together as he could the
members who were inclined to meet the
crisis as the needs Of the Treasury seem
ed to demand.
Public opinion out Of doors pressed un-
comfortably. too. Panic had already
como in the money market. and the bus!-
ness OF the country was suffering the
consequences
A repeating bill was introduced on Au-
gust llth, and on the 18th was passed, by
a vote of 240 to 10, so sensitively did the
House feel the airs OF opinion and the
necessity for acting in good faith with
the President for the relief of the Treas
ury
But the Senate would make no such
show Of compliance. There the silver
men mustered SO strong that 1t was not
clear until the autumn had come that a
majority for repeal could be obtained at
all, and every delay known to the leisure
!y rules of the body was made use Of to
hold action of
Meanwhile the country took the conse-
quences. Credit cola psed. loans could
nowhere be obtained, the very currency
seemed to disappear, being boarded and
kept out of the currents Of trade in such
extra ordinary quantities that those who
needs must have it were obliged to pay
a premium for its use and the banks used
clearing house certificates in its stead.
Failure followed failure. The very pro-
cesses OF manufacture stood still.
Business men knew not what to do
The business of the country was sound /,
its resources were untouched. There had
been no speculative furries. no irregular
operations that could justify panic or
impair confidence. Nothing was awry
except the public nnances: men could not
be sure of the value of the money they
handled. II was not certain that the
government would not put all exchanges
upon the silver basis.
The worst was over before the Senate
acted.
Business OF sheer necessity recovered
its tone; and when al last. at the very
end of October. the repeal became law,
trade and manufacture began to stir
again with reassuring evidences of re-
turning life.
But the results of panic and failure
were not stayed. A Treasury report Of
the 18th of October showed 4 falling
off in the revenues. as compared with
the estimates during the preceding three
months. which would mean. if continued
a deficit OF $50,IO00O for the fiscal year.

Kansas Must Look to Her Laurels

1t is doubtful whether in any cour-
try in a like period such treme ICous
changes have been introduced. Koran
exports have been increased from IS
100000 yen in 1910 to $4,000. OuU Ven in
1914. while imports advanced from 30
100000 yen in 1910 to 1000 600 ven in
1918. Even the population is increas-
ing rapidly, having advanced from 49,
100000 to 100000 under the new
regime. This is largely due to the
strict sanitary measures taken and to
the activities OF the eighteen great hos
pitfalls and the scores OF dispensaries
scattered through the country. Vacci-

Arbor day is observed even more
zealously than in Kansas or Nebraska

as 15.OO0,OO0 trees were planted. Rich

A Law That Honors Heroism.

When Roger Waters a workman employed
by building foundation company, went to the
rescue OF an employe OF another company who
was buried in cavern, he voluntarily risked
his life and was killed He did not wait for or
ders. Nothing in his contract required him to
try to save the other man. He was brave and
generous by instinct, and he acted from nat
ural sense of duty to his fellows. And he lost
his life
In uPholding the award made by the Work.
mems Compensation Commission for Waters's
death, the Court of Appeals took the lust and
reasonab Bile view. Waters did what every en-
ployer in the circumstances would look for his
men to do. The emergency prompted him to
render aid in a way that a self-respecting en-
Ployer should praise and gladly reward not con-
denim out of selfish regard for his own pocket
There is growing disposition on the part Of
the courts to be more humane in their inter
pretation of laws for the protection of work
men. In former days it would have been sufh-
cient to prove that Waters did not come to his
death through the negligence of his EMPLOYER
1t actually contended by the company that
employed him and the insurance company which
carried the insurance that his fatal injuries did
not result from his employment. On that the
ory it would be necessary to look for cowardice
not heroism or self-sacrifce, from workmen
facing danger, because their employers demand
ed it

employer should expect direct his employees
