Two cent passenger rates for travelers isn't half so important as a proper and equitable adjustment of freight rates.

The abolishing of the pass Isn't half so important as the enactmentjof an anti-trust law that would build up and not destroy competition.

There will be lots of smoke, much din about the legislature and when the intelligence of the Kansas people proba the result, it will be "the same old story In the same old way. Considerable pressire has been brought to bear on this paper to have it submit a bid in competition with the Gazette for the county printing. So long as the Board of County Commissioners remains lis- publican, the present editor of the Times will not make a bid nor enter in to any arrangement that may tend to lower the price received by the county oflicial paper for the work performed.

A c'ose personal acquaintance with thi work for a number of years past has convinced us that the moi.ey received foi being the official county paper is well earned. As the Gazette is the Republican organ in the county and the Board of County Commissioners is Republican, the printing should, and so far as the Thins Is concerned, will go to it without let or hindrance. Ingall's Seventy-three years ago last Sun day John J. Ingulls was born. He died August loth, 1900.

No man in the history of Kansas ever left a more lasting or better impression on its pages of history. In Atchison's cemetery, a huge granite boulder marks his last resting place, with the single word Ingalls carved in big letters on its surface as biography. Beneath it, these inspiring lines from his essay on "Blue Grass' appear. When the fiful fever is ended and the foolish wrangle of the forum and the market Is closed, grass heals over the scar lint our descent into eartli has made and the carpet of the infant becomes the blanket of the dead." The Morbidness of It. A few days ago an article appeared In a local paper about some good people of the city fixing up a dinner for the Poor Farm inmates.

A little Investigation on the part of the donors would have stopped their misdirected philanthropy. The county commissioners have the material comfort of the inmates mighty carefullv looked after. There are few famlies in Lyon county, who all times oi the year, have the abundance and variety of food placed before them that these same people have. Good people of the community who feel like helping worthy objects of charity can better place their donations, than by morbidly makng a fad of charity when it is not needed and creating false impressions in the minds of a class of people who from their own unfortunate position are peculiarly are i liable to think themsfvles ill used. There are dozens of Tliiinely de- habitual books without being com- pelted to stop and think of the Blue Book." We nevet see simplified spelling adopted by an editor, that we wonder if It Isn't a Jaok of acquaint-aueewlth Wrights Orthograh? or Wt Inters Dictionary that compels him to use it.

Walter Roscoe Stubb3, in his platform announcing his candidacy for the United States Senate, offers Federal Control a solution of the Trust problem. This seems to be along the line of centralization of power that Elihu Root so eloquently pleads for and will not appeal much to Kansans who believe in the theory of a government "of the people, for the people and by the people." Elihu Root, Secretary of State and eminene corporation attorney is asking in his after dinner speeches for greater centralization of governmental powers.

The spirit of the giver, not the ralue cf a gift, makes the recipient lad. Equalization of Taxes in large tetters stares every Kansas Legislator to the face We often wonder what would be come of Emporia if some of its would be leaders and molders of public thought should die. Its a Shuddering possibility. Lots of law enforcement people Qo not believe in the law or laws Whose enforcement they demand.

or this paper. For eleven years, In season and out of season, at all 1 1 tins. Mr. Yearout has. faithfully labored, and Intelligently and ably written upon the questousrf the day and uniformly tils writings have been along the Hue of advanced nomocracy.

As a party leader, he has consistently advocated the nnm-nlnatioii of the best men the party ranks for public preferment. The party owes much to him, for this, if for no othpr reason. At no time in his period of active management of this paper and active participation in local politics has he deviated from the high ideal that should be before a party leader always, viz the nomination of able aud acceptable men by his party. His ability as an organ! zor has been of inestimable value to his party. Now that he has concluded to retire from the newspaper field locally, at least, a measuring up of his acts and policies from a political standpoint can but be to his credit and to the credit of the party with which he has affiiliated.

Wherever he may go, in whaisoever field he may enter, he carries with him from the writer a hearty Gnd-speed and a deep seated wish for health, prosperity and suc cess. W. T. Dingan. Over the Hills to the PoorHouse.

Monday ben J. G. Hornbargur was takon ti the county poor fmm, there was more than one man in Lyon county who knew of it, that involuntarily shuddered na he thought of the possibilities that once stood before this man and then of Ibis, the bitter, 'bitter end of a life. Mr. Hornbargar was once' a member of the city ceuncil, was once a recognized leader in city affairs, and it hasn't been so 'ong ago either, but drink spoiled bis usefulness, spoiled bie position, spoiled hia hi spoiled bis lifeand now will reap its reward of tyranny by spoiling his death.

Once in his life he could drink or let it alone. Of late years' he couldn't. Step by step home, love, ambition, all, were sacri ficed for drink and now as be sits in bis lowly corner at the poor farm, a public charge, murmuring to himself over a handfull of mementos of earlier and better days, it isnotainiss to hope that some peace and comfort may come to him. It is not amiss to hope thai his drink besotten brain may clear enough before death claims tbim, for at least the solace of a hoi beyond the grave may come lasting and eternal peace, to cheei his last and loneliest hour.
