M.DAVIS, South Main St. SCAMMON, KANSAS. 9 The Greut Paper of the Great West The Kansas City Star ery where recognized as the strongest and most reliable newspaper in the most prosperous region of the United States.

The British Prince with his Naval retinue has departed. The President has returned from Oyster Bay where he went to cast his unique ballot. The news of the election haa been received and digested. Secretary of the Navy Bonaparte has returned in triumph from Maryland having defeated Senator Gorman and his amendment. Secretary Root of the Department of the State keeps up his vigils in his oflice denying himBelf to ambassadors, news paper men and even to the President unless he feels like letting go long enough to see them.

He is a phenom enal worker and accomplishes more than any predecessor by an invention of his own which consists in doing one thing after another. Secretary Taft is on the way home from Panama ath wart the flashing brine. The final words of the President's message re lating to the Panama Canal will not be written until he has had full consulta- tion with the War Secretary on condi tions as he found them on the Isthmus with the final report of the last commission and Secretary Taft's relation of civil matters, labor and sanitary conditions, the President and Congress and the country ought to know as much about the Canal on the Isthmus as the astronomers knew about the Canal on Mars. History that is political history is making with bewildering rapidity. We cannot of course see its end, but it is always interesting to note its bearings and pointings? The President and all that he stands for is growing stronger every day.

The vox populi or vox deii, both, or whichever you please have delivered his adversaries into his hands. The election results in New York, Philadelphia, Maryland and Cincinnati were all victories over Boss rule and triumphs for the reforms he has advocated. Is there no significance in the fact that Foraker was against the policy of the President on railroad rate Jegiulation in Ohio, and that Taft favored his policy and nounced Republican Bosaism in Cincinnati taken in connection with the election on the 7th of November? And this is the Ohio that gave Roosevelt an unprecedented majority only twelve months ago, and would give him a bigger one tomorrow if he had a chance. The other elections, where the issues of pure Government againHt bossism were joined, were equally significant. The festivities in honor of the British Prince-Admiral last week were anything but imposing.

They may even be called tame. He came and went without pageantry or bating of tomtoms. The functions were of the simplests, but there was no lack of hospitality welcome and good feeling. Members of the same family are less effusive and formal in their meetings than are distinguished strangers. There was a marked contrast between ttie reception of this English representative of the royal family and the German representative who came here twoyearsago.

But the Admiral-Prince his captains, and the crews of his fighting ships, will doubtless carry home with them, the impression of friendship and kinship that has so often been expressed in words: "Blood is thicker than water." There will probably be no conspicu ous movements relating to the great McGhie's WHEREIN IT LEADS issues are made up, indeed have been made for months, and the relative strength of the opposing parties, it is thought, will develope soon after Congress assembles. We will then know what prospect there may be for legls-latUe action relating to railroad rate control the tariff and the Panama Canal. There are minor questions, mainly economical, that are having the closest consideration of the Executive and his cabinet, and these will doubtless be set forth in the reports of the Departments and epitomized in the message of the President. It is thought that the President will probably recommend Congress to make an appropriation 01 about $300, 000 for the purpose of renting and lurmsmng oetter nouses for our am bassadors in European and other coun tries. As it is now, our represent tives abroad are perhaps the most meanly housed of any great power, mere are or course, exceptions, as when a multi-millionaire like White- law Reid pays from his own purse for the most imposing diplomatic resi dence in London and where ex-minis ter Draper upheld the reputation of the United States at an expense of over $100,000 per annum in Rome, al though his salarv was only about $17 000.

It is well known abroad that we are a rich nation and that our yearly expenses are quite equal to those of Great Britain and are even easily borne It is therefore disgraceful, for us to make it necessary for our foreign rep resentatives to live in a mean and parsimonious style. American diplomacy through the recent achievement of President Roosevelt at Portsmouth, is in the ascendent and it behooves a great pacific nation to neglect no re source of benign influence and power. Our Representatives at home, Congress, carry on business in the most splendid palace in this hemisphere and are even now building additional of fices for their accommodation which will cost $8,000,000. Less than half a million the first year for renting and furnishing suitable homes for our representatives abroad will be sufficient and then $200,000 per annum will be enough to pay rents. In 1895, President Cleveland urged upon Congress this plan in the following words: "I am thoroughly convinced that in addition to their salaries our ambassadors and ministers at foreigh courts should be provided by the government with official residences The salaries of these officials are comparatively small and, in most cases insufficient to pay, with other necessary expenses, the cost of maintaining household establishments in keeping with their important and delicate functions.

The usefulness of a nations diplomatic representative undeniably depends to a great extent, upon appropriateness of his surroundings and a country like ours, while avoiding unnecessary glitter and show, should be certain that it does not suffer in its relations with foreign nations through parsimony and shabbiness in its diplomatic outfit. These consideration and the other advantages of haviug fixed and somewhat permanent locations for our embassies, would abundantly Justify the moderate expenditure neo- essary to carry out this suggestion."
