The Western Advocate from Mankato, Kansas • 4

Jo his Western Advocate. HENRY R. HONEY EDITOR AND LISHER. DR. SARAH K.

HONEY, ASSOCIATE Entered as second class matter in Past Office st Mankato, Kansas. GooD roads will add materially to enjoyment as well as to the profitableness of farm life. IT is claimed that the Central Branch sees something'pe personal in the tion for good roads. As the country grows older and ties up more closely, extensive farming will give way to intensive farming, THAT little prefix "ex" Was used to better advantage then when was attached to the name of Roosevelt. THE country is beginning to understand what the republicans meant their tariff revision talk.

They meant to ride into office on it. THE Kansas legislature bas accomplished mighty little along the lines promised reform, but it has passed number of "fool" laws. THE Sunday Capital was breaker. It WAS "house-warming" 11810D, 186 pages. A great paper the capitol of a great state.

THAT great sigh of relief which heard yesterday came from the people of this nation when Theodore I made his exit from the White House. COMPARING Taft and Roosevelt, the American people could sccept theory of the Chinese that the brains are in the stomach, it would be couraging. So far as we are concerned, we refuse to get excited because cigarettes booze are to be absolutely prohibited Kansas. No man can hold job with who uses elther of them. THE minority in the Kansas legielsture may have sccomplished little this winter, but they did prevent the major1 from doing a few foolish things which it seemed willing to do.

THOSE democrats who are 80 lous to help start a democratic daily Topeka might help their party more effectively by giving more loyal support to their country weeklies. REALLY, Mr. Taft needn't have gone to so much trouble to get Knox. will get plenty of them from the factions in his own party ere he has been la the White House six months. IF country ever bass serious conflict with Japan, we can thank our investment in the Philippine islands for the scrap.

If we did not own those islands anti-Japanese legislation in Californis would stir up no fusa. IN every "Popular Voting Contest" somebody bas to pay the bill. If you think it is the generous publisher who gives away steel ranges and pianos with subscriptions you may be entitled to second -Sedgwick Pantagraph. IF the legislature refuses to do any. thing of value in the regular session, why should Gov.

Stubbs call an extra session? It the members were willing to fool away filty days, can the governor hope that they would do any bettor during a special session? WE note that in giving the vote on the public utilities bill in the lower House, the State Journal places Burke off Jewell county as democrat. We feel safe in protesting against this elassification. Neither Burke nor the democratic party of Jewell county will stand for 1t. COMMENTING on some of the votes of representative Burke in the legislature, the Jewell Republican asks "Is it possibie that we shall have to send a demoerat as representative to Topeka in order to be fairly represented?" The question may not have been aimed at us, but we can answer it. Yes.

OVER in the Cloud- Republic senator- 1al district Caldwell, the republican candidate, was given the office over Moore, the elected democrat, because the republican senate decided that some of the Moore ballots had been marked with an indelible pencil. It was not the will and intent of the voter which counted, but the political faith of Caldwell and the bias of the republican senate. It de just euch unfair, adjust and hoggish acts as this that has disgusted so many people with the republican party of Kansas. SECRETARY COBURN, of the Kansas Agricultural Department, 18 always wanting good, sharp photographs of Kansas improved stock, scenes and agricultural and horticultural producte, such as do special credit to the state. He cannot, perhaps, use these to advertise individuals or firms, bat constantly has opportunity to place Bach illustrations with newspapers and periodicals which will use them to the grest benefit of Kansas.

Persons havIng anything good in this line would do the state a service by sending sampies to Secretary Coburn, at Topeka, country of ours 18 great for "protecting infant those industries are big enough to contribute handsomely to campaign funds. We notice however, that the printer doesn't come in for much "protection." He has to pay a tremendous tariff tax to support the paper trust, the envelope trust, the steel trust, the type trust and dozen otber trusts made possible by protective tariff. And then he is "pro: tected" by the government taking a hand at cutting him out of legitimate work. The government will furnish printed stamped envelopes, delivering them with printed card on the corner, chespor than the printer can lay plain, unprinted envelopes on his own shelves. The business man buys his printed envelopes from the government and argues that if the government can furnish them printed cheaper than the home printer can, then he has a right to patronize the government printing office.

Very well, then, why shouldn't the government fell us our shoes, our socks, our bate, our clothes, our sugar, tea and coffee? Why shouldn't the govern-. ment take a hand at cutting the profits out of other business, as well as the business of the printer? We notice that business men who kick on the mail order house, do not hesitate to patronize the government mail order printoffice. WHEN the present session of congress, adjourns it will have distributed charity and increased salaries from Washington to Pekin and Calabria, but it will not have given justice to the people of this country. The $800,000 donation to the earthquake sufferers was a help to the Italians; remission of the Chinese indemnity relieved the Mongolians; increased salaries of high officials of the government, will make life more ep able for the already overpaid official, but appeals from the American people for tariff revision, for a child labor law, for postal savings banks and for other legielstion in the interests of the American people, have fallen on unbearing ears. The appopriations will be the largest on record, but no relief from the burdens of a high tariff.

THE indications are that Kansas 1a at last going to have a prohibitory law that will actually prohibit. No drugstore permits; no more physician's prescriptions. No liquor to be sold in in Kansas by anybody for spy purpose, legitimate or otherwise. That ought to hold 'em. Bet the booze dispensers will be able to find some sort of crack to crawl through, even under this law.

But it wiil keep them busy and furnish He entertainment for the rest of us watching the proceeding. In District Court. District court so far this week has been at work on the criminal docket and nothing has been done with civil cases, aside from the argument of some motions. The following state cases have been disposed of: State vs. George L.

Dishaw, bigamy: Dishaw plead guilty and will receive sentence later. State V8, A. J.
