Rates Not Against Omaha, Burlington freight officials state that the report to the effect that that lino has put in grain rates from Nebraska points to Kansas City which are in favor of that place as against Omaha are untrue. In support of their' assertions they show tariffs which prove that Omaba Is not dis criminated against In favor of Kansas City. A few changes in the Kansas City grain tariff were necessary on account of the fact that the through rate were changed by th Northwestern. These changes necessitated more In the local tariff of th Missouri Pacific to equalise matters to Mississippi river point, end when the Mis souri Pacific made these changes, which were forced upon it by the Northwestern, the Burlington of necessity had to fall In line. Consequently tho only changes made were in Missouri Faclfto territory, and in this territory there are not above ten or twelve stations In Nebraska which have a more favorable rat to Kansas City than to Omaha, and tho most of these are en ticed to it on account of their location. &TH0RNC5 v Boys' Overcoats 2.85 Boys' $1 Coaster Reefers, age gQg Girls' Cloaks All sixes to U years 112.69 coats for W.2& 110 .00 coats for $6 $7.W coats for 53.K5 IS SW coats for W.5 $5 4J"T coats for I2.50 $2.76 coats for. a0 Boys' Shirts Blses IS, 1J'4 and It with Sep- OKr arate cuffs, 60c values, at sSOb Boys' Bhtrt Waists, worth To Kfii-i and U.xcho!ce OUC RDAYS AT P.

Webster Toasts Ihe Party at St. Joe Ranqaet and Tells of Its Alma and Accomplish ments. ST, JOSEPH, Jan. 16-(Speclal Tele-gram.)-Probably the most brilliant ban quet In the history of the Missouri Repub lican Editorial association was tendered the members of that organisation by the McKlnley and Roosevelt club of St, Joseph In tho handsome dining room of the Bchlitt cafe tonight. It had been transformed Into a bower of beauty In preparing for this editorial banquet. The men who are sometimes classed as grumblers, censurers, givers of advice and regents and rulers of a great state sat down to free, frank and ceremonious discussions and feasting. Thousands of yards' of red, white and blue buntings were entwined about the balus trades and columns and back of the array of distinguished gentlemen who- Occupied positions to the right and left of the toast master, Editor E. E. McJimsey of the St. Joseph Qatette. Large engravings of Mc Klnley and Roosevelt hung Just above and back of the toastmaster. In the hand of the statue of Purity, which adorns one cdrner of the dining room, was placed a flag which came from the ill-fated battle ship Maine. The brilliant scene was aglow with the radiance of a thousand Incandescent lights. At tho table for guests of honor were Gov ernor John H. Mickey of Nebraska, Hon. John L. Webster of Omaha, General Odin Guitar of Columbia, Captain Henry King of St. Louis, Hon. Walter Dickey of Kan sas City, Mayor Wells and II. Walbrlge of St. Louis, George W. Martin of Brookfleld, Thomas J. Atkins of 8t. Louis, C. D. Mor ris of Trenton, Mayor C. J. Borden of St. Joseph, Ben Russell of Steelvllle, John Swanger of Milan, D. R. Anthony of Leav enworth, H. H. Mitchell of Clinton, C. M. Harrison of aallatln, W. J. Sewall and E. C. Brockmeyer of Bt. Louis. Hon. John L. Webster of Omaha re sponded to the toast of "Tho Republican Party." Mr. Webster said: I love the republican party because It had Its birth In a war of Ideas. From the life of a single man great reforms have been worked out. Out of a single incident and from Incipient causes may be traced the beginnings of great thoughts and colossal movements. Standing tonight on the soil df Missouri, our minds run b.S to the life of the soldier statesman, John C. Fremont. Standing on the' border line of Kansas, we cannot helD but recall that ran and In domitable Individual whose voice was like one crying In the wilderness, whose figure was an unique In the annals of America as was Savonarola to Italy or Joan of Arc to France. W. cannot review the history of the republican party without recalling the memorable debates between Lincoln and Douglas. We cannot reflect on its achieve ments without being; touched by Its self- sacrltlclng patriotism and loyalty to the union. ... . In the renubllean nartv fiiere'la a snlrlt of deep sentiment-for the Individual rights of manhood. There has been ' crystallized Into It the thought spoken more than a generation ago, that "man belongs to him self. His feet are his. his hands are his. the hairs of his head are his: It always has neea so, and it always will be so until ty rants shall storm the citadel of heaven and rase from the bosom of God man a title deed. to himself." 1 Press and the Party. I cannot think of the renubllean nartv without thinking of the republican press. Every copy of every republican newspaper has been a silent voice teacblna its prin ciples to the reader. There ore hundreds of thousands of such'volres communing witn the - InteTects of eighty millions of DeoDle within the ITnlted States evprv dav of every werk, and of every week of every montn tnrougnnut the year. Every one of these silent, voices makes an impression and has an Influence. The rays of sunlight which In their combined and united force have been found strong enough to move the grnnlte obelisk that stands In memory of Washington, so the united republican press has proven master ful enough to sway the national will. Go out ani look at the stars There they are. not one, not hundreds, but thousands and thousand. They were there last night, and last wek, and last month, and last year brilliant sparkling things of life and substanre. These stars may represent the thousands or editors who are influencing the minds of millions of voters. We live under a government of news papers. The supremacy of political parties In America Is changed whenever the press decrees It. The morning puper strikes the keynote of public opinion In the IInltd Btates. The great political questions stir i no ucfperi nuiurpn or ine people. wnen the press Is Impasslnnatelv moved bv some momentous Issue; when It rises In Its gl- gatitla etiorts when a question of some na tional convulsion Is at hand; It Is then that It lifts the whole nation to a high platform of thinking and acting. Republicanism and Progress. The republlcnn party has ever been th party of progress, advancement and Im provement. -The demoeratlc party Is a dls organlxed body of fault Anders and critics. It always has been so, and It always will be so. The spirit of progress Is hastening the fiace of civilisation. It had Its playground n Egypt for centuries. It developed the arts and sciences and learning In Greece. It spread over the Adriatic to Rome. It lifted old medieval Europe to nations of splendor. With our fathers It crossed the Atlantic to Plymouth and Jamestown. In 200 years it traveled to the Missouri river and then In a generation It spread to the Pacific. We. In this Missouri valley mid way between the two oceans, may greet and be greeted by tho 76.OuO.000 of people that surround us on all sides the cltliens of God's noblest country. Recently the nation began to look across the Paclflo ocean to see what was upon the other side, and there Is Just beginning to open up to our vision a panorama of ultimate changes thst are as sure to come as there Is a sun In heaven, which will give the supremacy of the ocean trade to ine racino. Democracy and the Canal. I.et us look at the last momentous ob jection of the democratic imrtv. not onlv to the progress of America, but to the progress of the world. Years ago this government aeciarea tnat it would look with an unfriendly spirit unon the attemot of any other nation to build a canal across tr, f'.hmm connecting our oceans. All the other naMons of the world at last agreed that thi United Btates alone should build It. This country, as a nation. Is In honor bound not only to Itself, but to civil isation, to see that the ranal ahull i hiillt and opened to the peaceful trade, and travel, snd commerce of the world. The United Btates by Ita declarations has as sumed responsibilities which Imperatively demand that there shall not longer be any delay In either the commencement or the completion of that work. The president be came Impressed that the Interests of col lective civilisation Justified the recognition of the Independence of Panama, so that this important work might move onward. He isa acted In harmony with the sentiment of th republican party and with the wis dom of a statesman, that our present com mercial greatness and expansion of terri torial domain has made the Immediate con struction or tne canal essential to our nu tlonal Interest, safety and defense. In recognising the Independence of Pan ama and entering Into treaty relations with It the president had done nothing more than the mandate of the civilised world has commanded that the United States should do for the weirare or mankind. Precedent (or the President. The democratic party now declares that the United States was over-hasty In the recognition of this young child of revolu tion. Let us draw some comparisons l.om modern diplomatic history. The Hepubllc of France was the child of revolution, yet Ueueral Grant aa the republican nrrsident of the United Slates directed Minister Washburn to recognize that new republic as soon aa Gambetut had declared it from the Hotel da VUle. even though war was then impending by the commune of Paris against It. James U. Blaine, America's stalwart republican leader, cabled tho American minister to recognise the Re public of lirastl on the second day of Its existence. President Benjamin H. Harri son was swift to recognise the new Repub lic ot Hawaii, it was a oeniocrat then, a now, urover i leveiana, wno sala ths United Bt-tee bad acted over-hasuly. But the republican part will not take a step bacawara now, as ui aamocraus parly did then. President Roosevelt and the re publican party In Its recognition of Pan ama has but followed In the footsteps of America's greatest leaders, of Oireral tJrnnt, of James G. Blairle and of UenJ i mln H. Harrison. While the democratic leaders nre con- "r " I', ....... .......... .... secretary of "late, condemning the navy, the eoile of the United Btates and the whole world, tn fact, are approving the prompt and resolute action of President Roosevelt.
