Fellow Citizens' Since my first
letter was received so kindly, and
since a special request has come (or
mo to write again, I give you this as
my second letter. In this I will try
to tell some of the advantages the
university will be to Shawnee. 1

PROM ALL SIDES.
In the same batch of mall which
arrived one day during the week In
the editorial rooms of the Kagle were
two letters from Christian Scientists.
One was from Pond Creek, Okla., and
the other from Boston.
The Oklahoma letter stated: "Your
publishing of the purported picture of
Mrs. Augusta E. Stetson in the Eagle
of this date does a worthy cause and
a good '{taper an injustice."
Tho other letter announced that a
presentation copy of a book was be-

OUR NORTHERN PARTNER.
N\ he.u the senate Saturday passed
the Canadian reciprocity measure that
locality assumed a new interest for
the American people. While Canada
lias an area somewhat greater than
that of the United States and Alaska,
its popualtlon, about 7,500,000, is less
than that of Pennsylvania, and 1,600,-
000 less than that of New York. Yet
It has a foreign trade of more than
$i;ou,000,000 a year. This Is nearly a
fifth of that of the United States,
while its population is less than
twelfth of ours. Fully 60 per cent
of all that Canada buys from the rest
of the world she gets from the
United States, but only 33 per cent
of what she sells comes here. She
is third on the list of our patrons,
only the United Kingdom and the
empire of Germany buying from us
more than does Canada. Last year
her purchases from us amounted to
$137,000,000 more than did her sales
to us.
What will be the effect of the new
commercial agreement between us
and our northern neighbor? She will
be drawn nearer to ub socially, and
possibly politically. It is to be pre-
sumed, of course, that Canada will
accept .the agreement Her repre-
h'H! s u! -! ik-U r .. ihww T
and hen executive 1b expected to push
it to enactment. Ottawa has dis-
THE AGE LIMIT.
One of the most heartless and un-
christian business methods of the
day is to exclude from the list of
eligibles for employment the men
who have reached maturity. The
time when a man is too old to be
employed is fixed by different em-
ployers at different ages. Some say
that a man must not be employed
after 30, and some after 40, and some
after 60. The rule should be that
every man who dcsireB to work
should be permitted to do so; that
if a man, by reason of his age, is
not a full hand he should be per-
mitted to be a half hand or whatever
fraction he is capable of.
If it is right for oue employer to
discriminate against an old or elderly
man, it would be equally right for
every other employer to do the same.
The logic of the rule leads to the ex-
clusion of all those of advanced years
from participation in the Industrial
bettermen of tho country. Such a
cussed it almost as long as Washing-
ton did, but it allowed Washington,
as the larger party to the compact,
to take the lead in dealing with It.
Hundreds of thousands of Americans
have crossed over Into Canada in the
Many Past ha,f a dozen years, and have
taken up land there. In the western
part of the Dominion the American
element is powerful, and it will work
in favor of the ratification of the
commercial deal with the United
slates. The Laurler ministry Is com-
mitted to it.
"will commence by telling you of those
advantages which many regard as the
greatest, but I regard them as the
least important. 1 refer to what are
known as "FINANCIAL ADVAN-
TAGES." As tho world is going wild
on tho subject of money, and as
many people see nothing good in any
enterprise except that which brings
money, I will examine the money
side of this question first.
Then the question Is, What money
advantage will this university bo to
the people of Shawnee? Will It or
not ever bring back to us the $100,000
or more we are to put into it? Let
us see:
1. Let me say to the citizens of
Shawnee that the whole school mat-
ter is a HOME INVESTMENT. The
land that Is used for a campus even,
simply changes owners. It is not
taken away from Shawnee. The
$100,000 contributed is simply con-
tributed to yourselves. None of It—
In fact, not a dollar of it—leaves
Shawnee, and of all the land that
being sold In lots outside of Shawnee,
you hold the land and get outside
peopel to give you the money for It.
So you are not only getting the
money for it but keeping the land.
As 1 see It, there is no Bort of do-
nation which the people of the town
could make that is more of a HOME
INVESTMENT than the money In
vested in a good denominational
school.
2. Now note the CASH BROUGHT
IN BY STUDENTS. It has been
many times thoroughly demonstrated
that each boarding student expends
an average of $400 per year. Thus
you see 100 students would bring in
$40,000 to this town; 200 would bring
in $80,000; and we hope before very
long to get as many as 500 to 1,000.
If you will figure the matter up you
will see that a school Is a regular
gold mine to the town in which it
located.
3. Now note the CASH BROUGHT
IN BY PARENTS, GUARDIANS AND
FRIENDS who come to visit the
children, visit the school, bring in
DEA.N OF BAPTIST COLLEGE 0(-
CI PIED BAPTIST CUUBCH PUL-
PIT VKSTKRDAY MORNING AND
APPEALED FOB MONEY.
At the First Baptist church yes-
terday morning ihe pulpit was filled
by J. M. Carroll, dean of the Baptist
university, who preached a sermon
on money and incidentally raised
$1,000 for the preliminary expenses
of the new university.
Dr. Carroll told the congregation
how it was necessary to have the
money to start the school off on a
proper basis. Part of the money will
be used in field service, that of get-
ting students to attend tho univer-
iity. - 4
As the school will be started In
the new church on North union
avenue and in Convention hall, it will
necessary to purchase temporary
benches for the students to work on.
The balance of the $1,000 will be
used for incidental expenses.
Dr. Carroll experienced no trouble
In securing the amount of money
named as the congregation responded
quickly.
I rulfs and Melons, Home Grown, Are
>'ow Coming In.
Home-grown vegetables and fruits
are coming in faster and they are
much cheaper than those shipped in.
Home-grown cantaloupes started I
coming in several days ago and are I
selling for 5 and 10 cents. They are
much sweeter and are a rival for the
noted Rocky Ford melon. Home-
grown cucumbers are In now and are
selling for 5 cents a piece. This is |
the cheapest they have been. Toma-
toes are cheaper and are home grown.
They are selling at 10 and 12% cents
per pound, according to the variety.
Apples are very scare.
People who are looking for fruit
to can or for jelly can find small
sour grapes and blackberries in rea-
sonable abundance. The grapea come
in bushel and half-bushel baskets
and are selling for $1. Home-grown
watermelons are on the market now
and their delicious flavor is their
selling quality

This amounts to a very large sum.
4. On (his next point it 1b Impos
Bible for u;« to give you anything
like an accurate estimate. But note
tho amount of CASH DROUGHT IN
BY THOSE TEACHERS AND OTHER
CITIZENS WHO MOVE IN ON AC-
COUNT OF THE SCHOOL. No less
than 30 good families will come In
who will be represented In the fac-
ulty alone. Already since I came
hore five weeks ago, some six strong
families have moved in. There will
be no less than 50 by the time school
opens, and BOO within live years, who
will come solely because of the
school. You can easily see that
theBe families will expend in your
midst $1,000 each per annum.
5. Note carefully this point: The
CASH THAT WILL BE SAVED TO
SHAWNEE BY THOSE BOYS AND
GIRLS WHO WOULD, IF WE HAD
NO SCHOOL HERE, GO ELSE-
WHERE TO SCHOOL. There will
possibly be from 60 to 150 of these.
The money that would be sent away
i« kept here because of the school j
being located here.
6. It would be hard In any way
to make a definite estimate of the
ENHANCED VALUE OF REAL ES-
TATE. Rents will be better, values
will Increase. 1 could give you many
very striking examples of this from
other towns. Some of your citizens
know what this means from having
lived in school townB. There is not
a railroad that you now have that
distributes more money than will be
distributed by the university. There
is no railroad or factory that you will
probably ever have In your midst
that will distribute, directly and in
directly, more actual cash than this
university. Look at this school ques
tlon from purely a selfish standpoint
(and this is the lowest standpoint
from which you can view it), and
you will find that there Is no Invest-
ment whatsoever that Shawnee can
make that will be of more genuine
value from a financial standpoint
than ..111 this university.
These statements which I have
thus far made, and which would have
been greatly elaborated, are made in
as few words as could very well be
used. I will send you another letter
In a few days, showing some of the
advantages that will accrue fr >m an-
other standpoint, and then other let-
tors of another character may follow
a little later.
Your fellow cltiien.

FROM BUGGY IN WHICH
SHE WAS HIDING YESTERDAY
AFTERNOON- INJURIES SHE RE-
OEIVED ARE NOT SERIOUS.
Mrs. R. A TlmmonB suffered a
painful accident in front of her home
on North Tucker street yesterday
afternoon, when she fell out of a
buggy in which she was riding and
injured 'her right limb and back.
Mrs. Timmons, who Is a rather old
lady, endeavored to reach from the
seat of the buggy to fix some part
of the harness on her horse when
she lost her balance and fell between
the wheels of the buggy. The horse
started backing and had it not been
for the presence of mind of Mr. Tim-
mons, who was near, she probably
would have been fatally injured. Mrs.
Timmons' Injuries, while very pain-
ful, will do nothing more than keep
her confined in the house for • few
days.
