Established 1883; BLUE MOUND, LINN COUNTY, KANSAS, JANUARY VoL XXVI; HALF lRLGF I Oil ON DAY. THIS SETTLES IT! Dulie Waggeuers Latest. B. P. AVaggener, of Atchison, vio was largely responsible for the defeat of the bank guarantee law at the special session of the legislature, now comes forward with a "scheme to guarantee bank deposits that certainly is novel.

He proposes to tax all property in the stato of one mill to raise a guarantee fund. Such a proposal is absolutely silly, and, if offered in good faith, is sufficient to convict Waggoner, the railroad attorney and lobbyist, of being a very shallow-pated statesman in spite of his reputation for ability. But of course it is'not offered in good faith. To tax all the property of every person in the state to guarantee that those who have surplus money in banks can always be safe from loss, would be a3 unjust as it would be to tax the capital invested in the beet sugar industry to insure those engaged in raising skunks from suffering financial loss. The Funny Paper Froblem.

As a rule the editor of this papet does not take much stock in the reforms advocated by the Ladies Jlonw Journal, although they may be far more important than we realize, at least a lot of people take the magazine but we do believe Mr, Buk has hit the nail on the head when he in the last number of the Journal takes exception to the eo-called comic sections of the Sunday newspapers. Having children of our own, we realize that it is a big question, and bow eagerly they watch for the Sunday paper to secure the funny paper. Like most parents we know that the influence of these papers is harmful, yet we once in a while give in. However, we believe with Mr. Bolt that the ehiklif.h mind is absorbing a lot.

of very harmful trash that is doing more harm than the average parent realizes. There is absolutely no humor or any artistieness about these papers and the language used is mere rot. Language that should- our children use when taking to each other or about anything would call forth a stern rebuke. Why do we allow our children to read these funny papers and why do papers print them? Garnett Journal. i We had some more zero weather the fir--t of (he week, followed by about 4 inches of snow.

II, Kings. The Jure Food Law Secretary Wilson says One of the obj cts of the law is to inform the consumer of the presence of certain harmful drugs in medicines. The law requires that the amount of chloroform, opium, morphine and other habit forming drug be stated on the label of each bottle. The manufacturers of Chamberlains Cough Remedy have always claimed that their remedy did not contain any of these drugs, and the truth of this claim is now fully proven, as no mention of them is made on the label.
