and it was in 1859 that he, a young
man Fl years of age, east his lot in
Butler county. He tells of the city
of Wichita when there was nothing
there but happy hunting ground
from which he obtained, in two days,
seven wagon loads of buffalo meat,
brought down by his rifle and those
of his neighbors.
'Emporia was the nearest postoffice
IN those times and Mr.. Davis made
the trip many times, driving a team of
oxen. He helped to build the first
school building in Towanda- He also
bought the first dry goods sold in To-
wanda, making his selection of calico
at so cents per yard from passing
saleswagon
About the most dangerous things
pioneer of that day had to contend
with were billiards. and prairie fires.
Mr.. Davis did not count the Indians,
for while he had experiences with
they troubled him little and had a
wholesome respect for him and his
good rifle
Mrs. McCown's Address.
Mrs J. NJ. McCown of Emporia, re-
cording secretary. made an address
on the Quaker Settlement of Lyon
County" The settlers came from In
diana with OK teams to help make
| Kansas a free state. Among them
were the Hadley Moon, Hiatt, Carney,
L.
| Carter. Quakenbush, Rich and Ham
mers families. The first religious SER
vice in that part of the county, on the
| Cottonwood river near Emporia, was a
Quaker meeting. The first meeting
| house still stands, and the split in the
congregation into Progresslves and
| Conservatives, still holds good. The
Quakers were put in charge of the In
dian agency by President Grant on
account sof their honesty. Mahlon
Stubbs was made manager of the edu-
| cat1onal efforts of the play, and
| Thomas Stanley was active in work
among the Indians. Tho never a nu-
merous community in Kansas the
QuakerS have given to the state 20 per
cent OF its governors. including STAN
| ley Liewellyn. Stubs and Capper.
CHARLES Curtis was a pupil of Mahlon
Stubbs In the Indian school at Council
Grove. He is descended from the

Territorial Women.
The territorial women were asked to
sit on the stage, and were presented
to the audience by Mrs. Marburg, who
said:
I'VE thrill to the word of woman
hood when we consider the loneliness,
prlvation and anxiety which our pio-
neer women suffered with unselfish-
ness and bravery. They represent the
epitome of over fifty years of stirring
history; they have suffered the vicis-
STUDIES of frontier days and realize as
no one else can, the comfort and pro-
lection that Kansas affords today

measure, to Emperor Williams war mani
festo and to the consequent disappearance
of peace rumors. A new embargo on
freight shipments east bound from Chicago
led subsequently to reaction in prices.
Any radical setback, however, was checked
by fears that in the absence of snow COW
ering a predicted cold wave would result
in serious damage to the domestic winter
crop. Opening quotations which ranged
from cents to AS cents higher with May
S1.51, were followed by moderate down
Lack of new export purchasing tended
later to faver the bears, and was not long
offset by heavy clearances from the sea-
board or by big decrease in the United

After opening sc to &c higher, the market
scored some additional gains.

stimulate production OF certain staple
products by assuring farmers that
these products would not be disposed
of below a certain level which would
give them a reasonable return and
would not cause them to suffer loss in
any event. This would have to be
done under proper regulation. The
shortage of important crops in this
nation, the greatly depleted resources
abroad, and the waste and destruction
in Europe should cause a continuance
of remunerative prices, but as an adj

national interests in terms not exclu-
sively European, nor based upon con-
siderations Of only European balance
OF power and the exigencies Of Euro
pean politics. The principle itself is
the vital thing; that the United States
is a necessary element Of the interna-
tional community.
In order that this country may es-
tablish this great international right,
Prof Usher maintains that America
must achieve something in the present
conflict immediate, effective and prac-
tical. She must make herself felt in
the achievement Of the victory.
II must not be expected, warns the
professor, that the six great powers OF
Europe who have been dominating
world affairs shall formally abdicate
in any way; for that would be tanta-
mount to a confession that they had
been living in sin. That would pub
licly impugn their honor. But we
should be satisfied with Lloyd Georges
pledge Of new order Of things con-
tanned in his speech Of March u, 1917,
in which he said: 81 can see more in
the knowledge that America is going
to win a right to be on the conference
table when terms Of peace are dis
cussed."
To win that right, America must
prove herself through efficient and
decisive aid to the allies, achieved by
Ia great army based upon universal
service, new merchant marine of
small, wooden ships, an extension Of
the munition industry and the mobili-
zation q our agricultural and indus
trial resodrces. The days of the dip
lomat are Dast; the day of the soldier,
Of the sailor, of the skilled machinist,
Of the farmer is come.

"Pan-Germanism,' published several
years before the outbreak OF the war,
in which the German animus and pur-
poses and plans We're concisely stated.

FOR AN INTERNATIONAL ORDER
BASED ON DEMOCRACY

s. In what has been pronounced one OF
the most significant public utterances
made since il became apparent that
the United States must enter the
world war, Prof. Roland G. Usher, Of
the department Of history in Washing
ton University, ST. Louis, Mo, declar-
ed before the American Academy of
Political and Social Science, in Phila-
delphia, the other day that the prime
purpose of Americas entry into this
conflict was the establishment Of the
international right
IF we entered this war upon purely
technical grounds" declared Prof.
Usher, I'VE have stultified ourselves.
But we did nothing of the kind. We
entered the war to change the system
itself which has produced the techni-
calities and disabilities we have suf-
fered from. We have entered the war
against the power which proposes to
continue the old order, the old logic,
the old ethics and the old diplomacy;
and we have joined hands with those
powers who have striven in arms for
three years to create a new interna-
tional order, based not upon aItoc-
racy but upon democracy-gbo the
rule of armies and of diplomats by the
people instead Of BIZ kings. We have
entered the Var in a fight for princi-
pies, not Tor technicalities or Details"
Pref Usher maintained that the in
fernaticnal right for which this coun-
try is striving is the right to be con-
suited when basic elements in inter-
national problems are being determin-
ed--the right to insist that the inter-
national horizon shall be so broadened
that not only the affairs of Europe but
also those Of America, of Africa and
of Asia shall be included.
1--WE are insisting" he said, that
the definition of international right
shall be really international in scope
and purpose; that it will define inter
