New York General Burleson is contracting with the railroads for the carriage of mail during the next four years and reports an active competion for the business. Thus, on the basis of their own bids, the roads are to be mercilessly robbed by the Government for another long period of time, which is an evil" whose origin has happily been found by the Wall Street Journal: The root of the evil lies not so much in the personnal of the Post Office Department, which is only human, as in the system which places the determination of the mail pay so largely in the hands of an interested person, the Postmaster General. That officer's political fortunes naturally depends on his getting the utmost possible out of the revenues of the department. If the railroads get the worst of the process it will do him no harm." The evil commonly charged against the business of government in the American Republic is the failure of public officials to get the utmost possible out of the public revenues for the public interest, and their ability nevertheless to preserve their political fortunes. This is the first time we have ever known a high political official to be held up to the public notice as an evil influence in recognizing and acting on the belief that his political fortunes depend on getting the utmost possible for the people out of the people's money.

The Postmaster General ought to be impeached. He may not be guilty of a high crime as defined by precedent. But he is clerely guilty of the most uncommon offense of doing business for the Government on a srrictly business basis. If You Are Well Bred. You will be kind.

Charles Bolick of Ashrille, N. is the possessor of an old clock, still running, although its wheels are made of wood its history can be traced back for over forty years. Besides giving the time the clock has pasted inthe back some statistics. From this clock it is learned that in the year 1812 the postage rate for a single letter for a distance not exceding 30 miles was 6 cents; over 30 miles and not exceeding 80, 10 cents: over 80 miles and not ex ceeping 150 miles, cents; and for a distance of 400 miles, 25 cents. Now that Col.

Bryan and Col. Roosevelt are paired on the National defense issue, perhaps the rest of the country will have a chance to discuss the qnestion sanely and sensibly.

Fraternal Aid Union Office Force Coming.

The Denver offices of the Fraternal Aid Union closed Wednesday last and a telegram was received the same day by Mr. Thomas Sweeney from the F. A. U. officials in Denver, informing him that 10 women and 4 gentlemen, who are members of the force of clerks and officials at the Denver office, will arrive here on the morning of December 1.

This makes a total of 22, who are expected to remove from Denver to Lawrence. The Denver office closed at five o'clock Wednesday and will no longer be headquarters for the Fraternal Aid Union. Next Monday the freight and office fixtures and furniture will begin to arrive in Lawrence, and on the following Wednesday the new offices will be opened for business. The rooms and accomodations for the new citizens, officers and employees of the Union are being arranged by Mr. Sweeney.

We are pleased to announce that not only was theaddress a good one and highly appreciated, but that the Governor has a more comfortable attitude while talking than he formerly assumed -in other words he talks best with both hands deep down in his trouser pockets in place of only one hidden from view. Democratic Central Committee Meet. A meeting of the Douglas County Democratic Committee was held last Saturday afternoon.

The object of the meeting was to look over the political situation and prospects in the county, state and nation. The general opinion was that President Wilson will recive the united support of the party for the nomination and re-election. The County Committee as a working organization expects to meet at least once a month. The meeting was enthusiastic and harmonious in every respect. Death of George W.

Stuart. The death of George. W. Stuart, from heart disease, occurred Monday forenoon at the family home 814 Alabama street. Mr.

Stuart had been ill for six months, but while it was realized that death was possible at any time his condition in the past few days had not indicated a great change for the worse, Funeral services were held Wednesday afternoon at the home. Rev. W. A. Powell of Ottawa conducting the services.

The body was taken to Baldwin at 3:30 o'clock Wednesday and interred in the Prairie City Cemetery in West Baldwin. Mr. Stuart was long a resident of Baldwin before coming to Lawrence. He was for a time deputy sheriff of Douglass County and enjoyed a wide acquaintance over the county: A son, Walter Stuart, is in Alaska, and two daughters are teachers. COMMENT.

There was a time when every American thought he was an eminent authority on finance. Now he thinks he is an eminent authority on national defense. Somebody counted up sixteen favorite sons who would attempt to a erect a lightning rod in the next republican national convention. The abundant supply of favorite sons in republican conventions is one branch of production that the democrats are never charged with curtailing. Some of the national bankers who are trying to abolish the office of Comptroller of the Currency are said to deplore the fact that the personality of Comptroller Williams had to be involved in the matter.

Probably by the time they get through with him and with Congress they will feel a good deal sorrier for themselves. Exports from New York in October broke all records for an American port. While the figures are so voluminous they have not been completed, estimates made by the customs officials based on tabulations that had been prepared indicated that the total amount would not fall far short of $175.000,000 or between $6,000,000 and $7,000,000 a day for every week day of the month. When a kid is tardy at school five minutes the teacher raises cain and tells the parent he has ruined his chances of an ultimate good educaby the loss of those five minutes from his studies, but when the teacher closes the school and goes off on a two days' junketing trip to Topeka or elsewhere leaving the kids to roam about the town and country it's different -in a horn.Washington Palladium. Among the important bits of news which the republican papers did not play up so that one could notice it was the statement of Chairman Murdock of the progressive national committee that there are at least 000,000 bull moosers who will not swallow anything Penrose et al may hand out via the republican national convention.

If compelled to choose between Wilson and a standpatter, he says 90 per cent will vote for Wilson. Booker T. Washington, who died recently was the country's greatest colored man and possibly the world's greatest, although many of his race will not agree with this, or would not during his life. The element that opposed him were the colored people who wanted to be educated for the professions, whereas Washington's great Tuskogee Institute was devoted- largely to vocational training. Training is given there in thirty -eight industries and trades in addition to academic work.

The manuel training and domestic science departments of our public schools are along the some line. Booker Washington knew better what was good for the colored race than a majority of them knew themselves. A biographer once said of him: Emancipation has freed the bodies of the colored people. This mani is freeing the shackled mind of the whole Way. A Fellow told us the other day that he was not going to pay off his mortgage this year, although he would have plenty of money to do so.

Said he was going to take a little trip, buy some extra land, build a barn and addition to the house and would let the mortgage run. It is an easy matter to get into debt. It is dreadful hard at times to get out. When people have money and can stop the drain of paying interest it is usually a good idea to do so. It does not require that the average farmer in business make a deal of money to get along during the lean years that follow the fat ones, if that farmer or business man is out of debt.

It is not likely that any one will pay any attention to the advice of a country editor who has never laid claim to financial acumen, but if it is worth anything it is free and here it is. If you can pay off that mortgage and get out of debt, better do it. It is mighty easy to get back into debt again if you find that you have made a mistake by getting Connelly. Early Convention Wanted. New York, Nov.

24. Democratic sentiment judging from reports received by Judge Frank McCombs, favors an early National Convention. The general opinion is the conyention will be held during the first two weeks in June. "We are the dominant party now' said Mr. McCombs, believe we are open minded as to the place the convention should be held." Bids for the convention have been received from New York, St.

Louis, Dallas and San Francisco. The Advertisers new location is 8 East Eighth street. "Quit Your Codding." It would seem Goy. Capper failed to benefit things very materially at the State Penitentiary when he ousted Uncle Jerry Botkin, the main charge being for letting prisoners escape, and installing in his place, J. K.

Codding. Uncle Jerry was severely criticized for letting a prisoner escape in Kansas City. and when Codding was appointed the Republican papers said: "Now you'll see how a penitentiary should be Sure enough, we see! Five of the most desperate men in the institution escaped more than a week ago and none have been re captured. Among them being La Tress the noted train robber and murderer sent from Wyandotte Co. A great hue and wentover the crountry when a weeks ago an armed body of men entered the penitentiary in Georgia, overpowered the guards and removed one Leo.

Frank. But how does the Governor explain the escape five desperate men from a well lighted cell room, with guards making the rounds every few minutes? Oh Governor. Quit your Codding At Last the East Smiles. A small black, four- winged insect with green and blue metallic reflection tions has been proclaimed the parasite which destroyed thousands of dollars worth of wheat in the northwest counties of Kansas last summer. Common belief has been that the Hessian fly was doing the destructive work, but Herbert Howland, a University of Kansas student, discovered this new insect on some wheat on his farm near Atwood last summer and sent it to the entomology department of the state agriculture college.

On close investigation, the parasite was found to be the bulb worm. This little pest is not content with waiting until the grain is ripe to get in its work, but starts the process of destruction early in the summer by eating at the stalks and stunting the growth. This leads to a premature ripening of the heads, making the yellow stalks stand out nently among the green ones rounding it. The adult of the species lay eggs in March or April on the green leaves of the wheat and the young live in the stalk until the middle of June or first of July. It was in this growth that Mr.

Howland made his discovery. By burning the straw in March the adults that have grown during the winter and their young can be killed. Found A Wheat Parasite. At The Bowersock Monday November 29th. The Nation's cry for Made in products has an answer in Joseph Brooks' Five-Star combination presenting Bronson Howard's The the most famous play of its day and thoroughly American in feeling sympathy and theme.

Wisely Mr. Brooks had the great drama rewritten by two of the ablest playwrights of the day. Winchell Smith and Victor Mapes and has so set it before the public that it has the flashiness and vigor of the most modern drama, while it retains the cleanness and the brilliance of the day in which Bronson Howard wrote it. And to carry out the American idea Mr. Brooks engaged William H.

Crane, Thomas W. Ross, Maclyn Arbuckle, Amelia Bingham, and Mable Taliaferro, Americans to the backbone all-as the players of the principal parts those of thoroughgoing American men and women of the day. There is not a line nor a note in all the excitement and fun of "the Henrietta' which is not in accord with the slogan of the hour, "Made in The great success this fine combination enjoyed for sixteen weeks at the Knickerbocker Theatre, New York, and fourteen weeks at Cort Theatre, Chicago last season, gives the American dramatist and American player grace of heart to note the change of sentiment which encourged foreign made plays and foreign porn actors to flood our stage with sickly sentiment and vicious morality?" "The New Henrietta' breathes a spirit of mental and moral cleanness, that is quite unexpected playhouse today. While the interest in its characters and the absorption in its plot exhibited by the large audience tnat have assembled to see it everywhere, show that they wish clean, wholesome plays presented by clean and wholesome players. The tour which Mr.

Brooks has arranged for the five-star combination promises to be the great snccess of the season and a march of triumph for the actors who appear under his nanagement. Kansas City Star: The East finalally confesses it prosperous, according to E. F. Swinney, president of the First National Bank. Mr.

Swinney returned today from Washington, where he attended al conference of the advisory committees of the federal reserve banks. "It took them some time to come to it," Mr. Swinney said, but they are willing now to say that business is not only good, but fine. Of course. the muntion factories and enter.

prises that have anything to do with the war are at high tide. But the prosperity is not confined to Will business. "All lines have picked up very rapidly and all branches of business are humming. New York and New Yorkers are in the very best of humor. And getting New York out of the dumps is doing well.

Here in the West we had prosperity for months before you could get a New Yorker to admit there was such a thing in existense anywhere. New York is thronged with visitors, not only from all sections of this country, but from the Latin countries and all of the Western Hemisphere. "For a long time the pessimists said the present prosperity was fictitious and temporary because of the muntion business. According to them, the country was to fall back into the ruck when peace was de. clared and the muntion business ended.

Now they are begining to predict that business is to continue good, war or no war. The impression is that the warring countries will have to start over again and that they will have to come to this country to purchase the things needed to build up their own industries again. If this be true, peace shonld be a bull rather than IL bear influence on business. Investigation Needed. Now that the investigation of Henry Zimmer, Democratic election commissioner of Kansas City Kansas, is ended, possibly the Governor may find time to conduct a little investigation closer to home." A scandal of no small proportions has developed in the state asylum for the insane at Topeka, and five men attendants are charged with statua tory rape of negro girls ranging in age from 13 to 17 years.

Two of the men are in jail and the others have The Topeka State Journal says the exposure threatens to implicate a dozen or more girls and about twenty male attendants Asusual, in such cases, it is stated that the Superintendent and high officials are not to blame. Wonder who is? The performances of these attendants may explain why patients down there receive no better treatment than they do. Recently, J. R. S.

Birch died there. After his death, Mrs. Birch learned that he passed away alone and by himself, and not a solitary attendant being with him. She was not even notified that he was sick although it had been promised her that she would be advised. It is probable that the reason Birch died alone and unattended the attendants were too busy with the negro girls.

From a former lady attendant was conveyed to us the information that some of the female (white) attendants slip ped out of their rooms after bedtime and made a night of it with certain of the men of the institution.
