Peace and Tariff

One of the best known and most in
fiuential bankers in the nation, Chas.
H. Sabin, president of the Guaranty
Trust Company of New York, has
written these words in the current
number of that institutions house
organ, appropos of conditions after
the war:
''It will be necessary for to con-
serve our strength by every wise pre-
caution we can devise Chief among
these is likely to be that of an ade-
quate Protective Tariff I have al
ways been theoretically a Free Trad
err but the competitive conditions
which peace is certain to bring will
be no different from those that exist
IN ordinary peace times that am con-
vinced we shall have to put up Pro-
tective bars, as will every other bel
hgerent nation, rather than lower
them, in international trade. So, the
Tariff seems destined to be one of the
issues after war"
Mr.. Sabin's remarks are timely and
to the point. Even two years ago we
were neglecting the sound advice Sin
time of peace prepare for war; but
that is no reason why, in time of war,
peace Even Germany, whose divin-
ity is war, is getting ready for peace ;
England and France, particularly the
former, are preparing to win indus
trial and commercial laurels as they
have won them on the field of battle
1t is not too early to plan. Simply
because we are a creditor nation and
because our natural resources are
natchless 1t does not follow that we
lre invincible in world trade After
- year OF preparation we are just be-
ginning to cut a figure on the battle
line We need similar preparation for
the contests of world trade, and the
-ime to think out the preliminaries
is now.
1t is interesting to watch the pro-
gres sOf thought as regards the Pro-
tective Tariff plan. Just as nations
which are not inclined to militarisn,
like France have been obliged TO keep
great standing armies to meet the
menace of military nations like
Germany, so men opposed to a Pro-
tective Tariff plan in the abstract are
brought to see that If a Tariff be-
comes an economic factor IN the
hands of one nation its competitors
are almost obliged to avail themselves
of the same weapon.
If the Tariff is to be q big issue, as
Mr. Sabin says, it viii be really ma
tional question, and the dictum that
the Tariff is a local issue" will lose
whatever force it had. There has been
a call for the business man IN poll
tics He is likely to be needed there
in even q greater degree after the
war-From the Philadelphia Ledger,
May "a, 1913.

O'Clock. Rev. C. F. West pastor of the

The groom had prepared a home
in advance, a fine residence on East

MIX UP EAIR DATES

meet with the directors of the Ellis
county fair. The Ellis county fair
dates are the same as the Russell
County date and an effort was made
by our directors to have Hays change
their dates Hays offered the excuse
that their ADVERTISING matter had al
ready heen ordered and would not
change their dates. Russell, it would
seem, has the just right TO the dates.
as the circuit follows along the route
of Lincoln, Ellsworth, Wilson and
Russell. By Hays holding their fair
the week following the Russell coun-
ty fair, the circuit would not be
broken or divided, but things could
not be adjusted and so Russell and
Hays will hold their fairs the same
week.

The Horse That Saved Buffalo Bills
Life.

he Horse hat Saved Buff alO Bill s
Life.
The following from Buffalo Bil's
book of experience. 1t refers to one
of his famous rides between Fort
Hays and Dodge City:
William A Cody, otherwise known
as Buffalo Bill writes the following
experience which happened to him ir
the Wild West country.
Zone day in the spring of 1868. L
mounted Brigham and started for
Smoky Hill River. After galloping
twenty miles, suddenly saw a band
Of about thirty Indians nearly half
q mile distant.
''The only chance 1 had for my life
was to make a run for it, and 1 i'm
mediately wheeled and started bcak
toward the railroad. Brigham seemed
to understand that it was a race for
life.
cone of the Indians horses, a spot
ted animal, was gaining on me all
the time, and his rider would occa-
sionally sent me a bullet whistling
along. I saw that the fellow must be
checked So quickly wheeling Brig
ham around, raised old Lucretia to
my shoulder and fired. At the crack
of my rife, down went the spotted
horse.
'In a moment we were again fair
1y flying toward our destination. The
chace was kept up until we came
within three miles of the end of the
railroad track, where one of the out
POSTS gave the alarm.
Several cavalrymen came gallOp-
ing to our rescue; and when the In
dians saw this they turned and ran.
Jumping to the ground and pulling
the saddle of Brigham, told the men
what he had done for me. They at
once took him in charge and rubbed
him down so vigorously that l thought
they would rub him to death.
Captain holland of the Tenth Cav
olry now came with forty men and
learning what had happened, he de-
termined to pursue the Indians. He
kindly offered me one of his cavalry
horses and we started out Before the
Indians had gone five miles we over
took and killed eight of them, but
Il others escaped.
F'When we got back to camp, l
found old Brigham grazing quietly.
He looked up at me as if to ask, Mas
ter, did you get any of those fellows
to chased us?" believe he read the
answer in my eyes"

ARMY BANK
MONEY is LOST
Authorities Think Robber Had Accom-.
plice Who Made Away With
the Stolen
$4,000.

, UNITED Press Leased Wire Service.
CAMP FUNSTON, Kans, Jan. IA
Military authorities were proceeding
today On the theo-~ thu. the man who
robbed the army cantonment bank
here Friday night, numbering four men
with a Ratchet and seriously wound
ing another, had an accomplice.
A suitcase is missing from the quar-
tiers Of Captain Lewis Z. Whistler sus.
pected of the murder and robbery,
who shot himself late Saturday. In
vestigators believe the money may
have been carried away in this.
Federal bank examiners and mill
tary officials refused to estimate the
amount stolen until the checking Of
accounts is completed some time late
today. Reports were current, however
that the amount might reach $4,000.
The only portion Of the loot so far
recovered is a roll of thirty-nine one
dollar bills, found in the snow a short
distance from the bank. The walls
and floor of Whisler's quarters were
being torn open today in search Of a
hiding place for the money The wo-
man to whom Whistler addressed
note telling Of his contemplated sui
eide was to be traced and her knowl-
edge of affairs established.
Kearney Wornall cashier of the
bank and the only living witness. of the
murder. was said today to have good
chance for recovery. He will be dis
figured as a result of the hand-axe
blows.
Although the name of the young
woman to whom Captain Whistler
addressed the note, found after he
had ended his life, would not be
divulged by army officers, 1T was
learned that she attends school at
Ottawa, Kansas.
According to reports, she is but
seventeen years old and an orphan.
She became acquainted with Whis-
Ter when he was employed as rail
way mail clerk, Whistler and the girl
boarding at the same home in OF
tawa.
When told that Captain Whistler
had ended his life, the girl swooned,
but soon revived and exclaimed:
ooh, it cannot be. He was too
nice and good man | knew him
only as knew the other roomers at
the house"
Officials completely absolved her
from any guilty connection with his
crime.
