ceive a brand-new interpreta-
tion and an extended applica-
tion at the hands of the friends
of the trusts. "Stand-pat"
originally was not au absolute
doctrine, except within its
own limitations. Refusal to
tamper with the tariff was net
intended to interfere with reci-
procity legislation. "Stand-
pat" now looks to become ab-
solute and universal.
From an absolute "stand-
pat" policy it is but a step to
raising the tariff wall. Cer-
tainly it is too soon to regard
a possibility of higher tariff
as threatening. Hut a repub-
lican congress has been known
to raise prices, and can people
comfortably conclude that
they have already experienced
the worst that the ultra-high
protectionists can do? Con-
gress by free reciprocity legis-
lation may upset all calcula-
tions, but the present straws
iu the wind indicate a jealous
vigilance of the tarriff wall.
From them the nation may
reason as it chooses.—St.
Louis Republic.

COME anT LOOK

' AN UNBROKEN WALL?
It is altogether unlikely
that Cougress will take any
significant, direct action with
refrence to the tariff, Cou-
. gress will scarcely exceed the
* President's recommendations
^ in that regard, which amount-
ed to nil. "Reduction of the
| tariff as a means of reaching
the evils of the trusts" he con-
sidered only in the light of a
proposed "remedy" which he
stoutly maintained was no
remedy. His only suggestion
was that "the tariff on anthra-
cite should be removed and
anthracite put actually, where
it now is nominally, on the
free list." This will be in the
nature of indirect modifica-
tion—if it is done.
There will be a proposition
before Congress looking to*
ward an agreement with Caua-
da for free trade in coal across
thft Dominion border. Thus
for the long-deferred reci-
procity treaty with Franse
has met strenuous opposition
from some of the leading Sena-
tors, and it is said that Sena-
^r Cullom, chairman of the
foreign Relations Committee
Ao began the session by an
a empt to secure ratification
a the treaty, has received
o thing but discouragement.

With the exception cf

iny measures whatever. The
inclusion may or may not
it premature, but there is far

It has been demonstrated
that there is no better paying
crop in Oklahoma than broom
corn. The soil in this section
is especially adapted to th
growth of this plant, and the
prices paid for the marketable
product—the brush—justifies
the ^farmers in cultivating it
As a sod crop it has been
never kuown to fail. There
was quite a large quantity
raised in this section last
year, and it is to be hoped
that the farmers will plant
more of it this coming spriug.

for this new line have all been

route. Already over <>ne hundred
miles ef the read is in operation
out of St. Louis, and it is hoped
to have the entire line completed
early in 1903.

This new. line, known as "The
St. Louis Line," is destined to be-
come a must important feeder for
the Rock Island system. This is
especially true in view of the
holding of the World's Fair at St-
Louis. The line when completed
will lie one of the short lines, if
not the shortest line, operating lie-
ween Kansas City and St. Louis.
The grades have all been kept
lowu to a minimum aud all curves
eliminated wherever possible pos
ible t" do s". Heavy rails are
being laid and extra precautions
taken to ina'-o tho road strong and.
substantial in every respect to
withstand the heavy travel which
will necessarily eoine upon Its
ompletiou No expense is lieiiitf
spared in its construction.
In St. Louis, ns is well known
through dispatches published in
the newspapers at various times,
the Rock Island system has se-
cured many valuable concessions.
A Iong_Btrip of land adjoining the
world's fair grounds was secured
by the road and will lie used for
tracks and depot facilities. This
gives to the Rock Island a direct
entrance to the fair grounds and
will permit the easy handling of
passengers as well as make it pos-
sible for passengers to go directly
to the fair grounds without chang-
ing curs.
The equipment for the world's
fair line has already been oousid
ered by the Rock Islaud manage-
ment. The cars to be used will be
the finest that can be purchased
and will contain all improvements
aud appliances for safety as well
as built for the comfort and con-
venience of the traveling public.
The schedulo of the arrival and
departure of the trains at both
euds of the route will be arranged
as best suits the convenience and
quick transportation of passengers.
The management intends to make
the St. Louis line one of the best
of the western roads and every-
thing will lie done to make it pop-
ular with tho public. It is evi-
dently the ambition of the manage
nient to make this pre-eminently
the world's fair line from western
Missouri, Kansas, Colorado, Okla-
homa, Now Mexico and the south-
west, as well as from the Pacihc
coast.
