In the case of the express companies the railroads furnished the express cars free while the government has to pay extra for the cars in which the mail is carried, which extra charge in some cases amounts to more than the cost of the car each year. We believe that the railroads could afford to carry the mails of the coun try for one-half the sum the govern' ment pays them at present and then do fully as well as they do In the hauling of other kinds of express and freight A few weeks ago a Chicago man made a proposition to the government that he would agree to carry the malls of the country for a great deal less than it costs the government to have them carried and distributed and pay the government a percentage of profit on the business. The government of course will not turn the handling and distribution of the malls over to any private corporation or individual. The people generally would rather have the mails carried at a loss than to do that, but this individual proposed further to reduce the postage rate from 2 to 1 cent on ordinary letters. he could do that and make a hand some profit on the business It is evi dent that the government Is paying too much for having the malls car ried and distributed.

The pay of mail clerks on the trains Is not too high, neither is the pay of the em ployes in the postoffices of the country, but there is a deficit of several mil lion dollars every year in the post office department The trouble is that the government is paying the railroad companies about twice as much for carrying the mails as ought to be paid.

There will never be any more land on the globe than there is now. 2ut there will be millions and millions more people to consume what land produces. This makes the upward tendency of land inevitable.

Kansas City Star. No Sslerlztaion in His Case. Ex-Vice President Levi P. Morton of all the old men in the financial dls trie is believed to furnish the most emphatic rebuttal of the Osier theory of termination of usefulness at the age of 40. Mr.

Morton's span of life is more than double that limit he is now in his eighty-third yearyet he has never apparently as much as contemplated retirement and is to be seen at work as president of the Morton Trust company three or four days a week. To all outward appearances his physical condition is as srong as when, for instance, he end ed his term as governor ten years ago. He is by no means the only octogenarian still in the harness in the Wall street district but there Is no other who has taken such an active and prominent part in business and poli tical affairs.

Handle Different Grades of HARVESTS LIACIIIHE OIL Collon II I Jg 1 1 DAVID OVERMYER OF TOPEKA DIED SUDDENLY. Staunch and Honest Man That Friend and Opponent Both Loved. Topeka, Jan. 10. David Overmyer, democratic politician known throughout Kansas, died at his-home here last night His unexpected death was due to a relapse after a bad case of pneumonia.

Mr. Overmyer was candidate for attorney general on the democratic ticket at the recent election and was once a candidate for governor. He was several times a delegate to the national convention to the party. He was a lawyer. David Overmyer's political life was rather a stormy one.

He was in the legislature that adopted the prohibi tion amendment to the constitution. and the latter years of his life were spent In almost constantly fighting for resubmission. He came from Indiana in 1876. In 1882 he was elected to the legislature from Topeka and took part in supporting the Vance prohlbl tlon. In 1885 he was again In the legislature and in that session was just as vigorous in fighting for resubmls sion.

Mr. Overmyer also opposed what was then known as the grand Jury bill, because, in his opinion, he said at the time, "It was merely a measure to give the authorities greater power in enforcing the prohibition law. Beaten by E. N. MorrilL In 1890 he supported Robinson, the democratic candidate for governor, who ran on a resubmission platform In 1892 he supported Lewelllng, who was a fusion candidate, and he was largely Instrumental in electing Lew elllng to office.

Mr. Overmyer re' ceived the democratic nomination for governor in 1894, but was defeated by Governor E. N. Morrill. Mr.

Overmyer did not appear again in public life until last spring, when he was made the democratic nominee for attorney general. He accepted the nomination under protest as did prac tically all the nominees of that con ventlon. The day before the conven tlon Mr. Overmyer had not the slight' est idea that anyone thought of him as a candidate. However, there were strong efforts being made to force ex Senator Harris to lead the party as the nominee for governor.

Mr. Over myer, together with other democrats, sent telegrams to Colonel Harris, who was then in Chicago, saying that the party demanded his acceptance of the nomination. At noon of the day of the convention, after its organization had been completed, this telegram was received from Colonel Harris: "I will accept provided Overmyer Is nominated for attorney general and Farrelly for lieutenant governor." Then Overmyer Accepted. Mr. Overmyer immediately recog nizing the exigencies of the occasion.

allowed the convention to nominate him as did Mr. Farrelly. There were few men in Kansas more forceful on the stump or before any sort of a public audience than David Overmyer. Possessed with wonderful physique and an extraordinarily resonant voice, with more dramatic ability than the average speaker, Mr. Overmyer was a power swaying the people to whom he spoke.

He was practically the sole author of the platform adopted at the last democratic convention, and was made chairman of the committee on resolutions. He created considerable merriment when he stood before the convention and read the platform which was unanimously adopted Arriving at the word "prohibition," he stopped suddenly, looked at the delegates over his glasses and said solemnly, "pro-hib-i-tion," giving the in the third syllable particularly strong and prolonged emphasis The convention burst into laughter fol lowed by cheers as the full Import of the sentence was understood. Mr. Overmyer took an active part the recent campaign, in nis many speeches he spoke almost exclusively of the enforcement of law, particularly so far as it related to prohibi tion. He did not conceal the fact that he had been and was still an advocate of resubmission, but he contended that so long as the law was upon the stat ute books it was the duty of the state officials to enforce it David Overmyer was strong In his likes and dislikes, but his friends far outnumbered his enemies.

He was considered Irascible at times, but few persons took exceptions to that say ing, "That's Just old Dave." RICIIEST IS THE WORLD. United States Could ray All Nations Debts Unparalleled Resources. Chlcaeo. Jan. 14.

A dispatch to the Tribune from Washington says: "The United States Is the wealthiest nation in the world." said a close friend of President Roosevelt's yester day, who has Just gone over a re markable report, which is soon to be made public." He added: "In a brief span of young life this Infant nation has broken all records relating to the accumulation of riches. We are beginning to think In billions insead of millions. Take it any way you like, our affluence outstrips any thing ever known before. "Our country has more actual mon ey, more gold, a larger volume of ex ports, greater banking facilities, rich er farms, more productive mines, more railroads, more internal commerce, more more well-to-do tradesmen, more independent farmers, more highly paid laborers and a great' er distribution of luxuries than any other nation has enjoyed since time began." To say that the total valuation of the wealth of the United States is $107,000,000 is not understandable, as a hundred billion dollars is such pile of money that the mind simply cannot grasp its meaning on the In stant. Probably the best -way of illustrating the actual extent of Uncle Sam's riches Is to state, if he could convert all the assets into money he would have nearly four times as much as is required to pay off the entire national debt of all the governments of the world, including his own.

Finally I began taking Dr. King's New Discovery, and con tinued this for about six months, when my cough and lung trouble were en tirely gone and I was restored to my normal weight. 170 pounds."

TWO OF A KIND. Last week the republican caucus of the legislatures of both Kansas and Colorado named each a man for United States senator. Colorado named Simon Guggenheim, the senior mem ber of the Guggenheim smelter trust, and Kansas named Charles Curti3 of Topeka, who has been a member of congress for several -terms and a smooth, all-around sucessful politi clan. Guggenheim has found smelting to be a good thing, protected as it is by tariff graft; and Curtis has found poll ties a good thing, backel as he has been by the railroads of the state, or the railroad graft In Colorado they say Guggenheim bought his election. He could afford to.

In Kansas they say that "railroad influence" elected Curtis. Everyone knows what "railroad influence" means. The railroads can afford it. Now Guggenheim is a Jew. He can not help that.

Curtis Is a quarter blood Indian. He is not to blame for that An old book, "Smith's View of the Hebrews," attempts to prove that the American Indians are the "lost ten tribes of Israel." The theory is quite plausible and the argument a very conclusive one. Well then, Simon is a Jew and Charlie is an Israelite. So it is a case of two of a kind. They are descendants of Jacob, who fooled his blind father, robbed his brother, fled for his life into Haran, euchered old Laban, his father-in-law out of nearly all he was worth, and learned him a lesson how to raise spotted cattle.

There is no use of talking, "blood will tell." They went down into Egypt. They were later several millions of them. And every mother's son of them "borrowed" of the Egyptians gold and silver and precious stones and left in haste. Out there in the wilderness of Arabia, they had so much swag, they melted the stuff and made and worshipped the golden calf. They did several stunts after this in the extermination of the Canaan-ites.

Rothschild is reported to have said when offered a kingdom: "No; I'd rather be the Jew of the kings than the king of the Jews." WANT MORE POWER. Roosevelt wants more power. Hoch wants more power. Buchtel wants more power. This thing must be contagious.

The preacher governor says he can't shut up gambling hells and brothels in Denver. Hoch has not shut up saloons in Topeka, yet he is said to be a staunch prohibitionist. Peabody managed to suspend the writ of habeas corpus, banish citizens of Colorado and denied them a trial. Peabody's substitute managed to help kidnap the officers of the Western Federation of Miners. Adjutant Gen eral Bell said: "Damn the constitu tion," when carrying out Peabody's or ders.

According to Foraker and many others, Rosevelt has, in effect, damned the constitution. Roosevelt, it is claimed, is trying to curb the trusts; Peabody, McDonald, Buchtel and Hoch obey the mandate of the trusts. Both states elect trust senators to help Roosevelt curb the trusts. This is like a Punch and Judy show. Poor old Judy, she gets it in the neck.

Senator LaFollette has introduce! a bill in the senate for an eight-hour law for railroad employes handling trains as a prevention of train wrecks. The Kansas City Star, commenting editorially, says that the Wisconsin senator, although serving his first term, is a power in the United States senate, and although boycotted by the corporation senators, by showing them up in his lectures, and proving how they voted, had cured the special interest senators "sucking eggs." It is to be hoped that he may be abl.j to prevent them from robbing hen roosts. Piatt says that the senate Is no Sunday school, and he ought to know. "All the world's a stage and all the men and women are players." It is quite true, and pity 'tis 'tis true. For instance, it Is necessary in the personnel of the drama to have a devil, an Iago, a villain, a heroine, and, the villain still persues her.

A cas: of characters for an American political drama Is suggested. Faust, the republican party; Margarita, the dear people that he falls in love with; Me-phistopheles, the trusts. Faust meets this devil, is tempted, sells his soul and betrays Margarita. Faust Is transformed by a satanic charm, and isn't the same any more. The sequel Margarita drops dead, Mephistophels claims the soul of Faust and drags him down to hell.

RAILROAD MAIL GRAFT. Congressman Murilook and a Missouri Youth, Making a Showing. From Farmers Mail and Breeze. We are pleased to know that the energetic red headed congressman from the Eighth district is putting a pry under the railroad mail graft. It ought to be pried up and then knock ed to pieces.

Not only is it pretty evident that the government has got en the worst of it on weights, but on rates as well. Over in Missouri is a postmaster by the name of Crow who has concluded to do some work on this line himself. He Is a young fellow and we presume is considered rather fresh by the rail road managers. However, the young man has done some figuring and his conslusions are a triing startling. For Instance even at the rate of 3 cents per mile passenger fare and assuming that the average weight of the pas senger who pays full fare is only 125 pounds, the ralluroad will carry the passenger five miles or a hundred miles for 3 cents per mile, say 100 miles for $3.

It would also allow him to carry more than his own weight in baggage free and provide a car to carry it in. To carry 125 pounds of mail 100 miles, however, th railroad charges the government according to Mr. Crow, $7.35, "Should a passen ger," says Mr. Crow, "take a trip of 100 miles over a railroad every day for a year at the rate of 3 cents per mile he will have paid 1,0 9 5 whereas if the same railroad hauls 125 pounds of mail 100 miles each day for a year it will receive from the government for such service $2,675." For fur ther proof of excessive rates Mr. Crow calls attention to the tact that in 1904 the express companies of the DON'T FOROET THAT Bartholomew Jayne Carry the largest and best stock of COAL, FLOUR, FEED, GRAIN.

(Edwin Markham). In storied Venice, down whose rip- pling streets The stars go hurrying, and the white moon beats. Stood the great Bell Tower, fronting seas and skies; Fronting the ages, drawing all men's eyes. Rooted like TenerlfTe, aloft and proud, Taunting the lightning, tearing the flying cloud. It marked the hours for Venice: all men said Time cannot reach to bow that lofty head; Time that shall touch all else with ruin, must Forbear to make this shaft confess its dust: Yet all the while in secret, without sound, The fat worms gnawed the timbers underground.

The twisting worm, whose epoch Is an flour, Caverned its way Into the mighty tower And suddenly It shook, it swayed, it broke And fell In darkening thunder at one stroke. The strong shaft, with an angel on the crown Fell ruining: A thousand years went down! And so I fear, my country, not the hand That, shall hurl night and whirlwind on the land; I fear not Titan traitors who shall rise To strike like Brocken shadows on our skies: Not giants who shall come to over throw And send on earth an Illiad of woe; I fear the vermin that shall under mine Senate and citadel and school and shrine The worm of Greed, the fatted worm of Ease And all the crawling progeny of these The vermin that shall honeycomb the towers And walls of state, in unsuspecting hours. Please read this again, thoughtful ly. Notice the simile our country, these United States, "fronting the ages, drawing all men's eyes." If you are a thoughtful person, you realize that we, as a nation, have enemies. Who are our greatest enemies? Some of our statesmen seem to think our enemies are other nations that may come with armies and batter down our defenses, so there are large appropriations made to build more and larger battleships, to maintain standing army for defense against these foreign foes that may attack us sometime in the future.

But while these wise men are gaz ing off into the dim and distant horl zon our most dangerous foes, the "ver min" of lust and greed, are permitted to undermine our most sacred lnsti tutions, the foundations of our prosperity and greatness, almost undis turbed. Is not the sanctity of the home one of our principal foundation stones? Yet the senate of these United States has refused to take any notice of the protests that have been made by thousands and thousands against that treasonable sect of poll- gamous Mormons, and after investigations and testimony which proved, be yond the cavil of a doubt, that the president of the Mormon church, Joseph Smith, is himself practicing poli-gamy in defiance of the laws of this nation, and that the sect believes in this monstrous doctrine, in. spite of .11 this, our honorable senate de cides that their represents Reed Smoot, who has testified to his loyalty to this sect, has a right to sit In the councils of this nation and help to make her laws. And the "fat worms" of the Mormon church will contine to gnaw the timbers underground." There Is not a man or woman of sound mind in this broad country of ours who does not know that saloons make criminals, produce street brawls, violences, thefts, murder s. These nec essitate increased Police coat money.

In some states the people practically, say: "Mr. Saloon Keepers, we give it up. Yoor saloons are the open sluice-ways through which monstrous iniquities flood society; but we can't shut them. Ga on. therefore perpetrating crime ami manufacturing criminals, but pay for it." Is this enlightened Christian legislation? It Is the very Imbecility of statesmanship.

Thank God, we have had some enlightened legislation on this sub ject In our own state. What we need now In many places, what we need in Goodland, is loyal citizens, large- hearted, large-brained men and wo men. There are many small-caliber- ed men In. the service of tte f.rcat Christ, yet that service is daily making them larger. soul that follows Jesus Is constantly expanding.

He not only makes men good; he makes them bigger. When the Christian people of this town grow big enough to put aside their little, petty jealousies of each other, big enough and brave to unite against the enemies of our homes, then the "vermin" th at is fattening on the money which would otherwise flow Into useful channels, and undermining the lives anul char acters of our people, shall be driven from their hiding places of sin and in iqulty, and the foundations of sar city made safe and strong.
